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. Has the Largest Circulation THE NEW TARIFF BILL The passage of the tariff bill and its approval by the President must prove a source of gratification to all sensible citizens. A word as to the figures will not be amiss. By calculating the percentage of the duty on the articles taxed, but omitting any reference to the articles transferred to the free list, they manage to show a slight increase in the percentage of taxation. Of course such a method is wholly erroneous. To present a comparative statement that would be worth anything it would be necessary to show the percentages of reduction, inserting those percentages represented where, as in the case of hides for instance, the entire 15 per cent formerly imposed was stricken off. Deduct from the percentages of reduction the comparatively few percentages of increase and the remainder would afford a fairly accurate measure of the reduction. The greatest occasion for gratitude over the tariff contest to all must be the highly satisfactory manner in which the President has acquitted himself, demonstrating to the most sceptical his right to the title of leader of his party. To Taft is due the fact that the bill is a revision dent hastened to Beverly, Massachusetts, as soon as he affixed his signature to the tariff bill. He was naturally anxious to reach there because of the delicate condition of Mrs. Taft's health and all the country wish him and his a restful and pleasant vacation. It will not be for long, for, unless his plans miscarry, he will start on September 15 for a tour of the country which will take in the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition at Seattle, the Pacific coast, Arizona and New Mexico, including a brief meeting with President Diaz of Mexico, when the two executives will eat luncheon at a table placed exactly over the international boundary on the bridge El Paso. He will then go North to St. Louis and sail down the Mississippi on one of the large river steamers, look in on the Deep Waterways Convention at New Orleans, renew old acquaintances with many of the cities of the South and reach Washington late in October. The great success of the Wright brothers at Washington must prove an occasion of pride to Americans generally. These enterprising and energetic young men proved to the satisfaction of the government that their aeroplane could accomplish all that was claimed for it and incidentally performed two most surprising feats. They remained two in the machine in the air on one flight considerably over an hour and on another made a world's record flight of ten miles at an average speed of 42.5 miles an hour over broken and untried country. EVELYN THAW'S SNAKE The Pet of Beautiful Model Invades Broker's Office stricken off. Deduct from the percentages of reduction the comparative ly few percentages of increase and the remainder would afford a fairly accurate measure of the reduction. The greatest occasion for gratitude over the tariff contest to all must be the highly satisfactory manner in which the President has acquitted himself, demonstrating to the most sceptical his right to the title of leader of his party. To Taft is due the fact that the bill is a revision downward, that the interests were not able to cause the stultification of party pledges, that the measure contains a provision for taxing the net earnings of the corporations and that it contains the germ of a tariff commission which under his fostering care promises to grow into an effective agency for the control of the protective tariff and the prevention of the effective influence of that selfishness and greed which have done so much to make the protective policy repugnant and which, uncontrolled, would have encompassed its complete rejection by the American people. The leaders in Congress, led by Speaker Cannon, did all in their power to destroy the tariff commission provision inserted in the bill by the Senate but fortunately they failed to achieve that which they set out to do. The maximum and minimum provision makes it necessary to entrust the President with a large measure of direction. Under its provisions upon him devolves the responsibility of ascertaining whether or not any country discriminates against the trade of the United States and, moreover, whether or not such discrimination is undue. In the exercise of that power and the defragrant of that responsibility the President will take steps to ascertain the cost of production here and abroad and whenever another tariff revision is undertaken he will be in a position to lay before Congress a mass of substantiated data beside which the ex parte testimony, at "tariff hearings," from interested beneficiaries of the tariff will be shown up in its true worthlessness.

This fact was brought to Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's personal attention Tuesday when she discovered that her 6-foot reptile, Kara, slipped the coop, so to speak, and was wandering alone and unattended somewhere in the heart of this great city. The tickers and telegraph instruments were clicking away in Wasserman's brokerage office in the Waldorf Astoria Tuesday and the clerks were droning quotations and putting up the little cardboard figures, when there was suddenly a blood-curdling shout from Col. Hiram Marshall of Tennessee, who had just returned from attending the reunion of Confederate veterans in Memphis. He had been in a half doze when he bounded from his chair and pointed to the bottom of the wainscoting. "Do you see it?" he cried, to nobody in particular. "Don't tell me you don't see it." They all saw it and there was the wildest kind of a scramble in that office. "It" was Kara, placidly gliding along, and ever and anon shooting out his little forked tongue after a fly. Clerks and porters and bellboys came and everybody took a hand in shooing Kara out—that is, everybody who wasn't fanning Col. Marshall and giving him iced water. With the aid of walking canes and feather dusters they got Kara out into one of the Thirty-third street vestibules, and from there into the street. By this time he was excited and, although generally a lethargic creature, the noise and that poking aroused him to action. He began to lop and wriggle, and in a second was darting along the sidewalk, sending folks scurrying out into the asphalt. on the white car the floor.

These fakirs, who never paid an honest bill in their lives, nor do they intend to, judging them by past experience, are with us always, as we say, ready to fleece the unwary, ready to run bills of one order and another, which they have no intention ever of paying, and of holding people up generally. A highwayman holding up the citizen in the street at the point of a gun, is an Apollo Belvidere of honor compared to these loafers, for of him at least it might be said he takes his own life in his hand when pursuing his nefarious business. From the wildcat mining shark, his pocket filled with "stock," ready to be passed out to all and singular in exchange for money, no less than for goods, wares and merchandise of one order and another, good lord deliver us.

DRAWS FIRST FARM Lucky Winners of Homesteads in Reservation Announced Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Aug. 9.—Isadore Selig of Myrtle Creek, Ore., drew No. 1 in the grand land drawing for the Coeur d'Alene reservation this morning. Swarming around the great net-covered cage here, hundreds of eager men and women waited this morning for little Helen Hamilton's eyes to be blindfolded that she might plunge her hands into a heap of 105,000 yellow envelopes and draw out the name of the lucky person who had won the right to the first choice of all the 1500 homestead and timber claims on the Coeur d'Alene Indian reservation. Inside the cage can after can filled with the applications of home-seekers had been carried, the seals broken and the contents dumped on the white canvas that covered the floor. More than half a ton of envelopes, all just alike, were piled up in the big golden mound. To shut out the least possibility of collusion, the pile of letters was ordered stirred and mixed to even more hopeless chaos than before. Little Helen Hamilton, 12 years old, the niece of Coeur d'Alene's mayor, was carefully blindfolded VETERANS' ENCAMPMENT Camp Adna R. Chaffee Opens At Huntington Beach Aug. 24th The twenty-second annual encampment of the Southern California Veterans' Association will be held at Huntington Beach Aug. 24 to Sept. 3, and from present indications hundreds of veterans of the Civil, Spanish and Mexican wars will enliven the tent city. Camp Adna R. Chaffee, as the canvas city will be christened, will offer not only outdoor life by the sea, but also an elaborate program of entertainment and business throughout the ten days. Arrangements have been made with the various railroads for reduced rates to Huntington Beach, and the Pacific Electric will also have special round trip tickets. Quartermaster Paul of Santa Ana, who has charge of the tent assignments, states that tents will be furnished for visitors at reasonable rates, while those who wish to use their own tents will be located without cost. The program for the encampment follows: Tuesday, Aug. 24—Camp opening; evening reception; address of welcome by Edward Manning, mayor of Huntington Beach; response by Commander E. T. Langley. Wednesday, Aug. 25—Morning, excursion to Soldiers' home; evening, welcoming entertainment by Huntington Beach post and corps assisted by the citizens of Huntington Beach. Thursday, Aug. 26—Afternoon, excursion to Balboa and trip on the bay; evening, entertainment by ladies of the G.A.R. Hundreds Visit Kamama Will Treat All Cases for the Cost of the Medicine. Many People Cured. Kamama has become a household word in Anaheim. On the streets, in the stores and in the shops one hears discussed the man who has brought to our city the Famous Kamama Medicines. Kamama has gained a reputation that might well be envied by any one. His free entertainments which are held across from the City Hall are attended by thousands nightly and are greatly enjoyed. The lectures and demonstrations of the remedies are the means of bringing many sick and afflicted people out of the shadow of doubt and dispair and placing them on the road to health and happiness. Many prominent citizens have come upon the platform and been relieved of Rheumatism, Paralysis, and Deafness in a few minutes' time before the eyes of the people. And the scores who have been the subjects of these demonstrations are loud in their praise of the Kamama Remedies which have given them relief. Kamama's offices above the First National Bank are on the white canvas that covered the floor. More than half a ton of envelopes, all just alike, were piled up in the big golden mound. To shut out the least possibility of collusion, the pile of letters was ordered stirred and mixed to even more hopeless chaos than before. Little Helen Hamilton, 12 years old, the niece of Coeur d'Alene's mayor, was carefully blindfolded and placed in front of the mass of letters. Picking up an envelope at random, she handed it to one of Superintendent Witten's assistants. He opened it and scanned the application quickly to see if it conformed to the rules. If a name had been written on the envelope, if a notary's signature had been omitted from the affidavit, if the seal had been forgotten, if any other radical fault appeared, the application was rejected and cast aside. If no serious error was discovered, the paper was handed to Superintendent Witten, who promptly announced the name of the lucky applicant. Then it went to the recorder, and to the reporters of the newspapers to be announced to the nation. Fifteen hundred names are to be drawn today and 1500 more tomorrow. Two other little girls are to assist in the drawing—Harriet Post, the daughter of a prominent Spokane attorney, and Christine Donlan of Missoula. WHY DID SHE RUSH THERE? Dr. Macnamara, a member of the British Parliament, tells of a school teacher who was endeavoring to convey the idea of pity to the members of his class. He illustrated it by a little story: "Now, supposing," he said, "a man working on the river bank suddenly fell in. He could not swim and would be in danger of drowning. Picture the scene, boys and girls. The man's sudden fall, the cry for help. His wife, knowing his peril and hearing his screams, rushed immediately to the bank. Why does she rush to the bank?" After a pause a small voice piped Wednesday, Aug. 25—Morning, excursion to Soldiers' home; evening, welcoming entertainment by Huntington Beach post and corps assisted by the citizens of Huntington Beach.

Many prominent citizens have come upon the platform and been relieved of Rheumatism, Paralysis, and Deafness in a few minutes' time before the eyes of the people. And the scores who have been the subjects of these demonstrations are loud in their praise of the Kamama Remedies which have given them relief. Kamama's offices above the First National Bank are crowded with people from all over the County. In an interview Kamama said: "I take no incurable cases; that is, I take no case unless I can promise a complete cure." Treats for Cost of Medicine. This week all who call at the offices of the Great Kamama will be treated for the cost of the medicine alone. No extra charge is made beyond the cost of the medicine required in each case to complete a cure. Hundreds of people are taking advantage of Kamama's liberality, and people are being cured. Kamama has engaged the Original Southern Quartette to sing their southern melodies at the free show this week, and it is expected the crowds will be larger than ever.
