CURRY AND JOHNSON BOTH IMPOSSIBLE MR. HERRIN AND THE RAILROAD MACHINE BEHIND THE FORMER Johnson's Nomination a Mistake, and No Enthusiasm Aroused—A Criminal Lawyer Hardly Fitted to Be the Leader of a Moral Crusade—Secure Immunity for Men Who wrecked the California Trust Company — Some Interesting Political Facts We hear a good many assurances from Mr. Johnson and from Mr. Curry respectively that their success in the race for the governorship is assured. A professed confidence in victory is of course a part of the game, but so far as the newspapers of the state give any indication of public sentiment there does not seem to be any large amount of enthusiasm for either candidate. And there is no reason why there should be. Certainly Mr. Curry can make no claim to popular support except upon the ground of good-fellowship, and while this has a certain efficacy in the cities among lodge affiliations and at the corner cigar stores it is hardly a winning-card with the rural voter, or, indeed, with any one else who is outside the circle of personal influence. There are doubtless a good many people who in a general way are inclined to wish Mr. Curry all the good things that he can persuade to come in his direction, but it would be hard to find any one whose political opinion is. THIS MAN WANTS SEWERS Makes Pointed Suggestions to Candidates for City Trustee Editor Gazette.—As the time is drawing very close to the election of three trustees to fill the city board, I deem it my privilege as an elector to present a few remarks in regard to the status of the several candidates. I understand there are seven candidates for the three offices of trustee. Now, we, the people, want to know what they intend to do if elected. It is you, Mr. Candidate, we are talking to. You have not given any assurance as yet whether you will take hold and help to bring Anaheim up abreast of the general forward movement of other and less favored towns. Are you going to try to squirm in by the help of a few old cronies and let the much needed business matters drag along in the same old slow pokey way. Is there either one of the seven candidates willing to come out over his own signature and say that he will look over all the streets personally that are within the city limits regardless of who is appointed as street commissioner and have the bumps and rutts smoothed out so that they won't be a reproach to our town, as they have been under the last board. Are you going to advocate voting a little insignificant bond for the evident purpose of staving off or killing the greater and more needed sewer bonds? The greatest, the first, and most important of all needs of Anaheim and the most auspicious, is a sewer system. We are right on the brink. The above pen portrays Helena Modjeska as a secretary Dickel, whom the dress numbered among younger friends in the sketch is taken from and is not only a perforation of the picture, but the young artist. Tomorrow, a year ago Madame Modjeska paid her home at Balboa, were taken to Poland and Count Boziewicz remained and is a frequent visitor grave of his wife. ORATION OF TARA FUNERAL OF M The many friends of am Modjeska will be the following from the bune: At the funeral of Mme. jeska, which was held there were many persons attended the funeral of and who pronounced that at the funeral of the fathom being even more important those present was Michel Tarasiewicz, when her casket was lowered grave read an oration with self. It appears below, to English by the daundry Mme. Modjeska, Felicie. "Hall to thee upon the country the earth o'be thy last resting place thou, who might say of the Countess Idalia: "'I am here as a angel upon the Polish art and genius and showing of it to both hemispheres." "Be blessed for the heart, for thy sweetness charm, and grace; for generations to the high of ecstacy by pointing..." The governor of a western state was making inspection of certain state institutions when he made in- pened to be the only candidate upon whom the bosses of the league could agree in their secret conventions, and so perhaps they are to be blamed rather for their infirmities of temper than for their clumsy politics. But a criminal lawyer is hardly fitted to be the standard-bearer of a moral crusade led by such shining lights as Dr. Pardee and Mr. Rowell. The temperament that permits a man to defend criminals—useful as such a function may be—is a bad qualification for the highest position in the gift of the state. Was it not Mr. Johnson who secured a practical immunity for the men who wrecked California Trust company and so robbed hundreds of people who could ill afford to lose an thing? No doubt it was a matter of professional business with Mr. Johnson, but there are some things that even professional business does not excuse in a man who is supposed to embody the saintly virtues of the league. Was it not Mr. Johnson who defended Ridder when that worthy was accused of offering a bribe to a police commissioner for the granting of a saloon license? Ridder was indicted in 1908. He was tried a year later and acquitted by a jury that would have acquitted Judas Iscariot, and it was commonly asserted that at the very moment when Mr. Johnson was prosecuting Ruef he had in his pocket a retaining fee of $1500 for the defense of Ridder, who was accused of the worst offense known to our political life. Not only did he defend him, but he secured his acquittal, although Ridder was said to have confessed his guilt. It was also said that the news of the acquittal was received with cheers in the office of the district attorney, Mr. Langdon. This sort of thing may be perfectly proper to the average lawyer, to the attorney who has not found grace, and know. Further comment is unnecessary. But hereafter we will keep close tab on what is being done and who is doing it. If any prospective member of the board of city trustees is so constituted that he cannot stand criticism he better not get on there. A Citizen. The governor of a western state was making inspection of certain state institutions when he made inquiry as to the progress of a chapain by him appointed to an insane asylum. How is he getting on? asked the governor, thinking to get an unprejudiced opinion from the official acting as his guide. Fine, exclaimed the man. His preachin' is very successful, governor. The idiots enjoy it very much. The law imprinted on the hearts of all men is to love the members of society as themselves.—Roman. who cares nothing at all for civic purity so long as he can win his case and earn his fee. But Mr. Johnson is not one of the unregenerate. At least he is not supposed to be. He comes before us as the champion of all the virtues and with the reflected light of Dr. Pardee and of Mr.Chester Rowell. Surely they might have found some one who had not stood so openly in the market-place for hire and who had not so flagrantly used his legal abilities to save rogues from a whipping. No doubt Mr. Johnson draws a sharp line of demarcation between his professional and his public ethics. Criminal lawyers usually do, or they could hardly sleep of nights, but it would be better to choose as governor of California some man who has only one kind of morality and that the kind that is understood by ordinary people.—Argonaut. "I am here as a pious angel upon the Polish art and genius and showing of it to both hemispheres." "Be blessed for thy sweetheart, for thy sweetness charm, and grace; for my generations to the high of ecstacy by pointing out sublime in the field of ing thy public to forget and grayness of everyday." "Be blessed, thou unhappy disappeareth like 'a golden effaceable in the memoir who had the happiness and those who, never knew of them." "For thy art, for thy art for that thou hast never egade to thy ideal and effecting thy soul, thou hathfecting the soul of thy blessed." "Depart in the name whom thy heart gave it singular and for which it hath" "In the name of thou wert an example unparalleled mistress, a friend, and a sincere accept our homage and good." "Let Cracow receive cemetery, where so many have been laid away—whispirit of Matejko lies." "Thou queen of drams."

ESCAPED DEATH VALLEY AND LIVES In the March Wide World Magazine is given the story of a man who, alone and unaided, conquered Death PEN PORTRAIT OF MADAME MODJESKA Drawn by Percy Dickel The above pen portrait of Madame Helena Modjeska was drawn by Percy Dickel, whom the distinguished actress numbered among the best of her younger friends in this city. The sketch is taken from a photograph, and is not only a perfect representation of the picture, but a credit to the young artist. Tomorrow, a year ago, April 8,1909, Madame Modjeska passed away at her home at Balboa. Her remains were taken to Poland for interment. Count Bozenta remains in Poland, and is a frequent visitor to the grave of his wife. ORATION OF TARASIEWICZ AT FUNERAL OF MODJESKA The many friends of the late Madam Modjeska will be interested in the following from the Chicago Tribune: At the funeral of Mme. Helena Modjeska, which was held at Cracow, there were many persons present who attended the funeral of Victor Hugo and who pronounced the ceremonies at the funeral of the famous actress as being even more impressive. Among those present was a fellow artist, Michel Tarasiewicz, who just before her casket was lowered into the grave read an oration written by himself. It appears below, translated into English by the daughter-in-law of Mme. Modjeska, Felicie Modjeska: "Hall to thee upon thy return to the country the earth of which is to be thy last resting place. Welcome thou, who might say of thyself as did Countess Idalia: "'I am here as a passing angel. I have let thee see the lightning and disappeared upon the firmament of the sky.'" "Welcome, thou, for passing like an angel upon the Polish firmament of art and genius and showing the lightning of it to both hemispheres." "Be blessed for thy unbounded heart, for thy sweetness, goodness, charm, and grace; for having carried generations to the highest summits of ecstacy by pointing towards the queen of beauty, rest in peace after thy work, thy battles, and thy triumps. May the breeze of weeping willows bring the murmurs of thy beloved stage's poetry, to soothe thy spirit and please thy heart. "And in return let thy genius be the guardian of the Polish stage and keep it in the light it hath attained, and may the pilgrim artists visiting thy grave drink as they would from the spring of Castal—faith, strength, example—so that the thankful hearts of generations accompany thee to the land of eternity and the Panthéon of immortality." MINING DEBRIS IN CALIFORNIA RVER CHANNELS In reclaiming the Great Valley of California the removal and control of mining debris in the rivers play a very important part. It is estimated that the bed of Yuba river alone contains three hundred million cubic yard of this debris. By these deposits the low-water stage of this stream was raised 15 feet at Marysville between 1849 and 1881, and the stream bed near this place is now 13 feet above the level of the surrounding farm land, so that it has been necessary to build large dikes or levees along the river. For four years the United States Geological Survey has been studying this debris problem, as it has been called, and in connection with the study a hydraulic laboratory was built at the University of California, Berkeley, Cal., for the experimental investigation of the laws of transportation of sand and gravel by water. This investigation has outgrown the narrow limits of the laboratory, and it is proposed to continue this work on a much larger scale in connection with one of the projects of the United States reclamation service. In a preliminary report now in preparation the apparatus and methods employed will be described and the results obtained will be discussed in detail. The results will be expressed by formulas and represented graphically. ESCAPED DEATH VALLEY AND LIVES In the March Wide World Magazine is given the story of a man who, alone and unaided, conquered Death Valley in the hottest month of the desert year. The tale of awful suffering endured by this man, H. W. Manton of Rhyolite, Cal., is told for the first time. For almost a week Manton was lost in the heart of Death Valley. In three days he tramped eighty miles over sands so hot that he could scarcely walk on them, although shod with heavy shoes. During those never-ending days he had no food and but one drink of water. When he staggered up to Cub Lee's Furnace Creek ranch, more dead than alive, his tongue was swollen to such a size that his mouth could no longer contain it. His lips and eyelids were cracked open; his clothing was in tatters, and his shoes were coated with a heavy incrustation of borax and other alkalines which had eaten great holes in the leather. At first he could not drink, and the touch of water was as fire to his parched lips and tongue. Kind-hearted ranchmen and miners forced the precious fluid into his mouth with a straw, with a spoon—any way to get him revived. And eventually he spoke, telling the strange story of his crossing the dread pit; of how he wandered therein for many days with no companions save the lizards and the snakes of the barren sands.

"For thy art, for thy constant work, for that thou hast never become renegade to thy ideal and that, in perfecting thy soul, thou hast been perfecting the soul of humanity—be blessed. "Depart in the name of those who cannot comply to the reality that they will never see thee again—in the name of the throng thirsting for beauty not satiated, the hungry not to be nourished and in the name of the thankful and sincere, the sad and the unhappy.

This investigation has outgrown the narrow limits of the laboratory, and it is proposed to continue this work on a much larger scale in connection with one of the projects of the United States reclamation service. In a preliminary report now in preparation the apparatus and methods employed will be described and the results obtained will be discussed in detail. The results will be expressed by formulas and represented graphically by curves. Relations connecting the discharge, slope, and load will be given for eight sizes of sand and gravel and for artificial and natural mixtures. The experiments include stream transportation, in which the streambed is sand or gravel—a selfmade bed—and flume transportation, in which the bed is wood or metal, as in sluicing. The accuracy and applicability of the results to practical problems will be discussed and the data that have only an indirect bearing on the debris problem will be presented in three appendixes. If means are provided for the use of the larger apparatus and the much larger water supply that will be available in connection with the reclamation project some of the data thus far obtained will be tested and the relations connecting the factors of transportation will be extended so as to make them more directly applicable to problems of stream control and economic sluicing.
