The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION.....$1.50 Per Year Six Months.....$1.00 Three Months.....50 Cts The Gazette is issued every Thursday morning. Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. TWELVE PAGES This week's issue of The Gazette consists of twelve pages, an increase of 50 per cent in the space previously devoted to this newspaper. The enlargement is made necessary by the constantly increasing volume of advertising, and the increased number of pages will be continued as long as the advertising crowds upon the columns alloted to news. In the recent past we have frequently had to omit column after column of live news matter on account of this increased advertising pressure, and many items of hews had necessarily to be condensed or entirely set aside. Advertising matter has also been omitted, as the space devoted to reading had been so greatly curtailed as to make its admission into our columns unadvisable. The enlarged paper will give us an opportunity of publishing more reading matter than has previously appeared, and this journal will consequently be in every respect improved thereby. The recent addition to our equipment of a new-model Merganthaler linotype machine, right out of the factory, no second or third-hand rebuilt affair, makes this enlargement easy of accomplishment. The machine is a wonder, and when working at its maximum speed does the labor of five men. The increased demands upon our advertising space are appreciated by the publisher. It proves The Gazette is regarded as the best advertising NEW WALNUT GROWERS' ASSOCIATION The committee which had appointed to draft a plan of organization for a permanent central station to take the place of the ecutive committee of the allied nut associations met in Los Angeles on March 4th, and formulated a which was accepted unanimously. The association will incorporate under the law recently passed by legislature relating to non-profiting corporations. This allows persons or incorporated associates to appoint a selling agent to manage their marketing and is not inflicted with any anti-trust law. The new association which likely be known as the "Callie Walnut Growers' Association," was composed of one director from local association and an additional rector for each 50 cars which theeral associations may have shared in 1908. The stock of the association, will be without value, will be by the directors, one share each object of the new association and co-operative and more economical marketing and carrying on of the nature of the various persons or associations for which it will be and to assist in obtaining a true reasonable value for the walnuts duced by them. The new association is to have and complete power to sell all nuts of the various associations ther through brokers or agents may seem advisable, though no chisel is contemplated in the present mode of selling and receiving theey for the walnuts as they are located on the cars, but all differences may arise between the local associations and the brokers will be acted by the new association as it be the party making the contract to the broker. The new association have its own inspectors and will establish the grade for marketable nuts which will prevent each brand making a distinct grade for each association, and sometimes for each there will be no cutting of The increased demands upon our advertising space are appreciated by the publisher. It proves The Gazette is regarded as the best advertising medium in the county, with a subscription list that is the envy of all publishers, large fifteen years ago, and constantly growing, never getting a setback, and reaching into every section of the county. The compliments of the season to our advertisers and readers all, with the wish expressed that the future may have nothing in store for them but the largest meed of prosperity and happiness. HOW ABOUT IT? Now that the consolidation act has passed the legislature, permitting Los Angeles to consolidate with San Pedro, it might be pertinent to enquire how the enlarged city and county will affect us of Orange county. Some years ago, before the purpose of Los Angeles to erect itself into a city and county government was dropped because it could not under the then existing law consolidate with San Pedro, it was quite generally known that the territory lying this side of New river would probably be added to this county. It will be recalled that San Antonio county, with Pomona as the prospective county seat, was then under consideration, and that Whittier announced itself as favoring annexation to Orange county rather than its inclusion in the new county. With Whittier was Norwalk, Artesia, La Mirada and other communities, all of which would probably have been added to this county had Greater Los Angeles been formed, There is no San Antonio county to contend with at this session of the legislature, and Los Angeles, in the passage of the consolidation bill, brushes away all opposition to its future expansion. The question arises, Will this New river strip be added to Orange county, or will Los Angeles come down and annex us, including El Modena? TARIFF REVISION Cheaper shoes, clothes, window glass, lumber and paper will be among the public's profit when the Payne tariff bill is passed by congress.

TARIFF REVISION Cheaper shoes, clothes, window glass, lumber and paper will be among the public's profit when the Payne tariff bill is passed by congress. The ideas of the tariff framers are being reconciled and the revision is to respond to the popular demand for reduction. At this time the committee on ways and means is practically agreed to a 30 per cent reduction in all steel schedules except billets. The duties on woolens will be reduced. The woolen mills are no longer dependent on protection and the price of cloth is too high, the leaders think. Plate and window glass will be reduced and lumber will be put on the free list. Wood pulp and print paper will be materially reduced, and there is a strong chance of their being admitted free. The house bill will include a provision for free hides and a reduction on shoes and other leather goods will also be reported in the bill. There is not much encouragement for the coffee importers in the sentiment on a coffee tax. Chairman Payne is still strongly in favor of the tax as a revenue producer. He is running counter to the opinions of a majority of the house and majority of the committee. Clarence Perdomo is here from Chicago visiting friends. Clarence is a graduate of an eastern dental college and for three years past has practiced his profession in Chicago. Mrs. C. H. Waight left on Monday morning for her home at Bishop, Inyo county, after a six weeks' visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. N. Imus. It appears that a Carribean relic, embracing Cuba, Porto Rico, to Domingo and Hayti is a possibility of the future. At the time the close of the war in Cuba suggestions were mooted for the formation of a West Indian republic, including these islands with Mexico as piece de resistance. Mexico, by virtue of her proximity to the United States and through the benign tonic despotism of Diaz, has been for a quarter of a century a stalwart government and would probably erase a salutary influence over turbulent islands to the south of Mrs. Thos.

Hartman, owner of the building, has leased the same to J. Schumacher for a term of years. The improvements on the building will cost approximately $3000. Tedford & Newman have the contract and are doing the work in artistic fashion. The improvements consist of new stairways, the latest improved swinging doors and windows, new floors and dressing rooms. The main floor will be covered with 1 inch hardwood maple floor, nicely polished, making one of the finest dance floors in the county. The stage will be changed, new scenery and curtains and lights will be installed. There also will be 600 new chairs and an elegant new piano. An electric sign will be placed in front of the building and also one for the armory. The building will be repainted inside and out, making it one of the finest opera-houses in the county. The improvements will be finished about April 10th. Mr. Schumacher states he has made arrangements for some fine attractions, and the best of order will be maintained in the house. HORTICULTURAL COMMISSION. Sacramento, March 8.—Gov. Gillett has signed the Collier-Miller bill which provides for a single horticultural commissioner in each county. The law becomes effective immediately. It will result in a shake-up in several counties which now have three commissioners and its operation in Los Angeles county will be watched with peculiar interest by fruit growers as from that section came loudest protest by political office holders against the passage of the bill. As a slight concession to the politicians, the measure was amended by providing for two deputy commissioners, each of whom must pass a technical examination and establish The law becomes effective immediately. It will result in a shake-up in several counties which now have three commissioners and its operation in Los Angeles county will be watched with peculiar interest by fruit growers as from that section came loudest protest by political office holders against the passage of the bill. As a slight concession to the politicians, the measure was amended by providing for two deputy commissioners, each of whom must pass a technical examination and establish his fitness to perform the important duties of the office. On petition of twenty-five or more owners of orchards the supervisors are required to appoint a commissioner from a list of at least five eligible recommended by an examining board composed of the state horticultural commissioner and two other experts. The county commissioner will receive $6 a day for his services and the compensation of the deputies will be $6 each per day. Inspectors will be paid $3.50 a day, an increase of $1 over the present pay. One provision of the new law is that political affiliations shall not be considered in the appointment of commissioners. The law was demanded by the fruit growers of the state who asked unanimously for its enactment as a stronger safeguard against the introduction and spread of insects and pests. SUGAR BEETS PAID THE DEBT From its appearance one would not believe that there is much in the homely sugar beet to inspire the divine muse, but some one with a gifted imagination has been moved to cough up the following poetic lines to the Windsor Optimist: A farmer sat in a pensive mood, His countenance was blue. He knew in six and thirty days The mortgage would be due. Just how to raise the needed dough To pay the hated debt Was past his comprehension, though, And so he stewed and fret. But while the farmer roared and fumed There were elements at work That heeded not the lapse of time, Nor did their duty shirk. His sugar beets were growing fast In spite of drouth and wet And when it came the harvest time They paid the farmer's debt. A. J. Ehlers, wife and two children of Chicago visited O.

Mr. Ehlers conducts an extensive leather business in Chicago, and expects to return there shortly. Mrs. Samuel Pond left Saturday for her home in Salt Lake City, after a month's visit with her daughter, Mrs. William Crone. Mrs. Robert Whiting will entertain a number of her friends at 500 on Friday afternoon. Miss Fanny Klein has issued invitations for a St. Patrick's party for next Wednesday evening.
