For trustees: Rust 133, Fiscus 54, Rose 129, Quarton 142, Beebe 120, Becker 118, Nebe-played out, set about to make one last effort to save the fight which at noon seemed all but won. One hundred votes were polled in the last hour and a half of the day. At 6 o'clock it seemed any man's fight. The count showed Simpson leading Steadman by 24 votes. Charley Boege defeated Frank Shanley for treasurer by a majority of 76 votes. The contest was quiet but determined between supporters of both gentlemen. E. B. Merritt had no opponent for city clerk, and polled 362 votes. The tie between Becker and Quarton will be trotted off at a special election to be called later on. The election board in Precinct 1 was composed of the following: Inspectors—Ed Bustamente, Wm. Renner; Judges—Frank Fox, Henry Oelkers; Ballot Clerks—Max Boege, Wm. Schwenckert; Clerks—Joseph Backs, Jos. Gibson. Election board Precinct 2—Inspectors, J. J. Schneider, F. A. Maurer; Judges—O. Renner, Fred Mickel; Ballot Clerks—F. A. Backs, Jr., O. T. Cailor; Clerks—H. V. Weisel, F. C. Rimpau. Several hundred dollars changed hands as a result of the fight for marshal, which was in all respects the hottest contest ever pulled off in this city. FULLERTON Three trustees and other city officials were elected at Fullerton on City Clerk—E. B. Merritt 362. (No opposition). Treasurer — Charley Boege 255, Frank Shanley 179; Boege's majority 76. Marshal—V. U. Simpson 238, Frank Steadman 214; Simpson's majority 24. Precinct 1. Total vote cast 287. For trustees: Rust 133, Fiscus 54, Rose 129, Quarton 142, Beebe 120, Becker 118, Nebelung 113.

The hottest political fight in the recent history of the city was pulled off on Monday, when the regular biennial municipal contest held the boards. Two members of the board of city trustees were chosen, and a tie resulted in the next two high men. C. O. Rust was re-elected, while Joseph Fiscus, who aspired to re-election, was low man out of seven in the contest. Max Nebelung was elected a member of the board. C. L. Becker and W. P. Quarton tied for third place. Another election will have to be held to decide. Of the three candidates endorsed by the Merchants' association—Beebe, Rose and Quarton—the two former were defeated, while the latter drew a tie. One of the hottest fights of the day was between V. U. Simpson and N. F. Steadman for city marshal. The latter had held the office 18 years, and during the afternoon hours was said to be trotting in his old-time form. His deputy, Mike Litten, had five shining twenties to bet upon him, with odds of two to one, but found no takers. Up to the noon hour Simpson was regarded as safely in the lead, but it was found that a number of his supporters were out of town, and that Steadman was showing up strong on his second wind. Steadman's supporters were in evidence during the afternoon hours. City Trustee Stock took a hand in attempting to stem the tide of defeat slowly but surely. FULLERTON Three trustees and other city officials were elected at Fullerton on Monday by the following vote: For trustees, R. S. Gregory 237, E. R. Amerige 187, George C. Welton 164, E. S. Richman 154, George Annin 153, William Crowther 105. Marshal: Roderick D. Stone 158, William French 128, Alex. Henderson 69. Clerk: C A. Giles 178, F. C. Hezmalch 140. For treasurer: W. R. Collis, 200; H. G. Maxwell, 137. ORANGE Five hundred and forty-two votes were polled in the city elections held at Orange on Monday. The election was close, the Peoples' party defeating the Citizens' party by only a few votes. The results are: Trustees, W M. Gregg 312, and M. E. Eltiste 274, elected; R.C.Blyth 264 and H.O.Williams 244, defeated. For the two-year term, C.Z.Bates 291, defeated V.Rossiter, who received 246 votes. City Clerk, C.W.Hollman 521. Treasurer, F.R.Coate 270; K.E.Watson 268. Marshal, Samuel Jerniem 335; A.H.Westerman 197. HUNTINGTON BEACH The religious element was defeated by the Liberal party in the city election held in Huntington Beach Monday, but though the church people lost all the trustees elected say they will stand for the closed saloon. Following are the results: Trustees, Ed Manning 121, W.D.Seely 126, Edw.E.French 102, David O.Seward 105,M.E.Helme 77.Clerk,C.E.Lavering 89.Treasurer,Ralph E.Graves 122.Marshal,C.F.Sorenson 68. CUPIDPUZZLESAMOTHER Cannot Tell Whether She Has a Daughter-In-law or Not The following story comes from Pasadena: "Is pretty 20-year-old Cecelia Wigand of Anaheim wedded to 21-year-old Ralph H.Bryant of 470 Cypress avenue,Pasadena? Or are the two flirting with cupid after taking out a marriage license permitting them to become one."

Steadman's supporters were in evidence during the afternoon hours. City Trustee Stock took a hand in attempting to stem the tide of defeat slowly but surely setting about Steadman. Harry Küebler came up with the eastside contingent, and when Litten flashed his gold at 2 to 1, Simpson's stock went down a peg. Simpson took the bit in his teeth, and at 4 o'clock marshaled his forces for one last effort to save the day. There was no doubt Steadman was cutting down his lead, and if the game were kept up, the old man might again land a winner. He was being given the race of his life. All his other fights during the last 18 years paled their ineffectual fires into insignificance. But the old man was settling down to a trot in the home stretch, and he again was feeling his oats. Autos and carriages sped to all parts of the city bringing in the voters. At 5 o'clock, an hour before closing the polls, Steadman's supporters were claiming his election, Simpson was calm and confident. A dozen votes might throw the fight one way or the other. Each side worked like beavers, Simpson being almost alone against a score of active workers for Steadman. Simpson's workers seemed to have broken for tall timber, but the Montanan declaring the game was not out till it was Cannot Tell Whether She Has a Daughter-in-law or Not The following story comes from Pasadena: "Is pretty 20-year-old Cecelia Wigand of Anaheim wedded to 21-year-old Ralph H. Bryant of 470 Cypress avenue, Pasadena? Or are the two flirting with cupid after taking out a marriage license permitting them to become one. Both of these questions are more interesting if answered, especially to Mrs. Bryant, mother of the supposed-to-be groom, who confesses she does not know whether she has a daughter-in-law or not. "The license was taken out Saturday in Los Angeles. Since then it has been impossible to find young Bryant. His mother declared she has seen little of the young man since his return from his grandparents, in Pennsylvania, where he has just completed his education. "Had I not suspected something of the kind," said the mother, "I would not even know he had taken out a license. I have been watching the papers for this and have found he had. His sweetheart is an orphan, and lives in Anaheim. I have been unable to learn anything from that quarter. If you hear of his being married I wish you would call me up and tell me. He has not been living home since his return. He may write me tomorrow, anyway I hope so," and with a laugh at her predicament, she turned away."

STANTON MEETS OLD FRIENDS GREETED ON OLD STAMPING GROUND AS NEXT GOVERNOR Shakes Hands With Many Former Associates and Staunch Supporters—Arrives With Party of Boosters in Autos—Luncheon Here—Joined by Party of Local Boosters and Continues on Way to Orange and Santa Ana — Triumphal Tour Hon. Philip A. Stanton, candidate for the republican nomination for governor, made a triumphal hand-shaking tour of Orange county on Tuesday. He was accompanied from Los Angeles by Capt. W. J. McIntyre, J. F. Paulding, E. R. Allen and W. C. Hogaboom. In this city the party was joined by a number of Fullerton boosters, including C. C. Chapman, Gus Stern, Ed Benchley, Editor Hitchcock and others. Mr. Melrose also joined the party here and continued on the way to Orange and Santa Ana. Mr. Stanton arrived at 11:45 and was at once surrounded by numerous friends. Among them were Postmaster Duckworth, H. A. Dickel, J. Hahn, Joseph Backs, John Hartung, Arthur Lewis, Frank Shanley, Alex Henry and many others. HON. P. A. STANTON er of them can successfully point to much of a business career.

E. Stockwell of the East Side is in receipt of the following letter from H. C. Kellogg in reference to river overflow: March 16, 1910. J. E. Stockwell.—Dear Sir: In company with yourself and others who are interested in the protection of the bank of the river at Yorba I examined the river bank from the point of the hills above the bridge and under the bridge. The conditions above the bridge and under the bridge are such that a freshet would be disastrous. All the debris and brush should be removed from the big sandbar and the channel opened up wider above the bridge. The improvements necessary to make the river safely pass under the bridge will be described from the up- OUT AS NORMAL TRUSTEE Mr. Melrose Gives Up Appointment Made by Gov. Pardee Mr. Melrose some days ago tendered Gov. Gillett his resignation as trustee of the Los Angeles Normal school, to which he was some years ago appointed by Gov. Pardee. He gives as his reasons therefor his increasing private business, which renders it impossible to longer serve on the board. The Los Angeles Normal school and its site will shortly be sold by the state, and a new building erected upon another site. An offer of $550,000 has been received for the property. In the legislature three years ago a bill was passed by the machine to dispose of this property for $200,000. Speaker Stanton, who was then a member of the house, opposed the bill and after its passage prevailed upon Gov. Pardee to veto it. A year ago he carried a bill through the legislature to dispose of the property at not less than $500,000. It is believed that nearly $600,000 will be realized for it. Mr. Melrose this week received a personal letter from Gov. Gillett urging him to reconsider his resignation. He went to Los Angeles on Tuesday to meet the governor, who came south to see him and attend to various matters of business. At the personal solicitation of the governor, he may consent to act as trustee until the disposition of the property, and now has the matter under consideration. MR. JEFFREY IN TOWN State Commissioner of Horticulture Here With Roy K. Bishop John W. Jeffrey, state commissioner of horticulture, was in town on Thursday in company of Roy K. Bishop, county horticultural commissioner. They were making a tour of the county investigating shipments of nursery stock, and attending to other business matters. Mr. Jeffrey found conditions locally in excellent condition, and spoke in terms of praise regarding the advancement of horticultural interests in this section. Mr. Bishop forwards the following communication: Santa Ana, April 9, 1910. Editor Gazette—Please publish the bank of the river at Yorba I examined the river bank from the point of the hills above the bridge and under the bridge. The conditions above the bridge and under the bridge are such that a freshet would be disastrous. All the debris and brush should be removed from the big sandbar and the channel opened up wider above the bridge. The improvements necessary to make the river safely pass under the bridge will be described from the upper end. 1st. I think a strong wing about 500 or 600 feet long should be run out from point of the hill above the old Priest's gardens and the heavy growth of brush down to where the river broke or cut out to the west, should be left undisturbed. 2nd. A heavy strong wing should be built out from the solid bank at the point where the river cut west. This wing should be run directly towards the north abuttment of the bridge (before it was extended). It should be made solid across the first bend and continued as a pile and wired wing to within 400 feet of the bridge. The channel on the isle of this wing should be clear of all brush and debris for a width of at least 300 feet. 3rd. From the end of the bridge as extended a wing should be extended down the river about four hundred feet. This wing should be anchored to the piles, and stone at north end of bridge and the stone lying in the river removed and put on this anchor. 4th. As an additional protection for absolute safety I would recommend that the roadway be strengthened and brushed with brush fascines back to the high ground. This additional precaution is necessary by the fact that should the river cut through this place it would have a direct line for a channel down through Yorba and Fullerton. I am confident that a judicious expenditure of not to exceed five thousand dollars as I have above outlined would make the river safe at this point. Very respectfully submitted, H. C. Kellogg, Hydraulic Engineer. FULLERTON The annual convention of the Christian Woman's Board of Missions of the Disciples of Christ for Santa Ana district was held in Fullerton Friday. The guests of honor were Mr. and Mrs. Niels Madsen of Pend- for governor, which seems to them very likely to be the case, they will immediately send for Richmond P. Hobson, hero of the Merrimac, to stump the state against Stanton, because he opposed the gingo anti-Japanese bills that were presented in the house while he was speaker of that body at the last session, Stanton came right back at them with the statement that his action was taken at the urgent request of Theodore Roosevelt, then President of the United States, who was in a position to know what an immense amount of harm the enactment of the ill-advised measures might produce. Stanton calmly displays Roosevelt's telegram to him after it was all over, warmly thanking him for the work he had done, and he makes no other apology for what he did. It is not impossible, therefore, that if the democrats do bring Hero Hobson to California after Mr. Stanton is nominated, that the people of California will have an opportunity of hearing Theodore Roosevelt talk on the subject of anti-Japanese legislation, for he might be induced by Mr. Stanton's friends to come out and undo whatever harm Hobson might succeed in doing. Phil Stanton's idea of basing his campaign for the republican nomination for governor on the fact that he is a successful business man, and that the state's chief executive ought to be that sort of a man, seems to be working well. Of his opponents for the nomination, Curry can argue that he is a successful professional politician, Johnson that he has done well as a criminal lawyer, but neither hop, county horticultural commissioner. They were making a tour of the county investigating shipments of nursery stock, and attending to other business matters. Mr. Jeffrey found conditions locally in excellent condition, and spoke in terms of praise regarding the advancement of horticultural interests in this section. Mr. Bishop forwards the following communication: Santa Ana, April 9, 1910. Editor Gazette.—Please publish the following: In accordance with amended order No. 1, of the state horticultural commissioner's office, all importers of Florida orange seed must hereafter have said shipment of seed sent to William Wood, state quarantine inspector., where same will be inspected and fumigated. Have shipment sent as follows: William Wood, Los Angeles, Cal. (For YOU) when after treatment the seed will be reshipped to you. Roy K. Bishop, County Horticultural Commissioner "Sour orange seeds from Florida are strictly under the ban," said Mr. Jeffrey. 'The reason for precautions is that the white fly, the deadly enemy of the orange grower, gets into the country with the seeds. There are sour orange seeds worth about $3000 now in Los Angeles, which must be either fumigated or destroyed. In the future, orange seeds from other states will be received only in certain seasons of the year, and then they must come in sealed packages, direct to the deputy state horticultural commissioner, who will fumigate them before delivering them to the owners." The annual convention of the Christian Woman's Board of Missions of the Disciples of Christ for Santa Ana district was held in Fullerton Friday. The guests of honor were Mr. and Mrs. Niels Madsen of Pendra Road, India, and Miss Adelaide Gaill Frost of Mahoba, India. There were good-sized delegations present from Anaheim, Orange and Santa Ana, the other three towns comprising the district, and three interesting sessions were held in the morning, afternoon and evening. Luncheon was served in the banquet room of the hall. Addresses pertaining to the practical workings of missionary work were made by Miss Frost, Mrs. A. C. SmiTHER of Los Angeles, Rev. T. Kawai, also of Los Angeles, Misses Bessie Farrar Madsen of India, Mrs. W. R. Harper of Los Angeles and Rev.Nells Madsen of India. The newly elected mayor was about to make his first journey through the town in his official capacity. The people had arranged that from an arch of flowers under which he was to pass a floral crown should hang, surmounted with the words, "He Well Deserves It." But the wind blew away the crown, and when the pompous mayor passed under the arch only a rope with a noose at the end of it dangled there, with "He Well Deserves it" standing out in bold relief above it. 1910 NUMBER 26 OF OVERFLOW FROM THE RIVER ALL RECEIVES LETM KELLOGG Bank — Conditions and Under Bridge Hashtet Would Be Dismends Building Sevd Widening Channel Above the Bridge of the East Side is the following letter in reference to riMarch 16, 1910. —Dear Sir: In comf and others who are the protection of the war at Yorba I exambank from the point above the bridge and unabove the bridge and are such that a disastrous.

The lad was assisting a lady in operating a washing machine, when a stray dog afflicted with rabies ran into the yard. The boy attempted to drive it away, when he was bitten on the wrist. The dog was taken to a veterinary surgeon and soon died. Dr. Beebe was called and cauterized the boy's wound. The following day swelling intervened, and a part of the wrist was cut out. The boy was taken to Los Angeles by Dr. Beebe, and was treated by Dr. Cham-bers of the Pasteur hospital. Charley made daily trips to Los Angeles for three weeks. Dr. Beebe succeeded in getting Dr. Chambers to reduce the usual charge of $100 for the Pasteur treatment to $50,and remitted his own charges.The total expense incurred by the lad was $65. Miss Poapst interested herself in the lad's behalf, and collected money enough to defray all expenses. This was turned over to Mrs. Jester, who has handed us the following acknowledl- BULLFROG DISRTICT TEMPTS INVESTORS RICHES QF NEVADA MINING CAMP SET FORTH IN REPORT United States Geological Survey Bulletin on Deposits of Ore in Bullfrog Mining District—Three Lines of Railroads Run Into the Gold Country—First Discoveries Were Made at Tonopah and Goldfield A report on the geology and the ore deposits of the Bullfrog mining district, in Nye county, southern Nevada, by F. L. Ransome, W. H. Emmons, and G. H. Garrey, has just been published by the United States Geological Survey as Bulletin 407. The district surveyed and mapped is a tract of arid hills and mountains lying northwest of the Amargosa desert and including about 21 square miles. The principal town in the district is Rhydite, which is 60 miles south-southeast of Goldfield and about 85 miles south-southeast of Tonopah. The other towns are Beatty and Bullfrog.

PURE FOOD LAW VIOLATED Circular from Secretary of Agriculture Regarding Alsop Flour The following circular letter received from the Secretary of Agriculture will be of interest: To manufacturers, vendors and consumers of Bleached Flour: Flour bleached by the Alsop process contains added poisonous and added deleterious ingredients which render the flour injurious to health. Flour bleached by the Alsop process contains a substance known as nitrites, which reduces, lowers and injuriously affects the quality and strength of the flour. Flour bleached by the Alsop process is mixed, colored and stained in a manner whereby damage and inferiority are concealed. For these reasons flour bleached by the Alsop process is adulterated within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act of June 30, 1906. So decided Judge Rufus E. Foster on March 15, 1910, in the case of the United States of America, Libellant, v. 420 sacks, et als. of Flour, in the United States district court for the eastern district of Louisiana. There was also involved in this case the issue of misbranding, and the decree of the court was that the flour was misbranded. Your attention is called particularly, however, to the adulteration feature because of the misleading circular which is be- is a tract of arid hills and mountains lying northwest of the Amargosa desert and including about 21 square miles. The principal town in the district is Rhyolite, which is 60 miles south-southeast of Goldfield and about 85 miles south-southeast of Tonopah. The other towns are Beatty and Bullfrog. Long before valuable ores were discovered at Tonopah and Goldfield the springs in Oasis valley, just north of the site of Beatty, attracted a few wanderers, who established rude ranches along Amargosa river, a feeblerill that furnishes the only drinking water within a radius of 40 miles. The discoveries at Tonopah and Goldfield stimulated prospecting all through southern Nevada, and in 1904 the Bullfrog claim was located. The name is said to have been suggested by the green color of the ore; certainly no one has found in that scorchingly arid region anything resembling a bullfrog. In a few months the towns of Amargosa City, Bonanza, Bullfrog, Beatty, and Rhyolite rose from the desert sands and mining was actively begun until 1907 only the richest ore was shipped from the region, for lack of satisfactory means of transportation. In 1907 three lines of railroad had reached the district, and during that year the value of its mineral output was $207,538, principally in gold and silver. The deposits of the Bullfrog district, unlike those at Goldfield, are not likely to yield quick and large profits with a moderate outlay of capital, although small masses of superficial ore may for some time reward a few fortunate lessees. The ores generally are of low grade and the question whether the deeper sulphide ores can be profitably mined is still unanswered. The report just published sketches the general geology of the region and describes the ore deposits in detail. Chapters on the mineralogy of the ores, the action of vein-forming solutions, and the genesis of the ores will be of interest to mining men. The report, which covers 130 pages, includes descriptions of the mines in the district and is illustrated by a geologic map and many views and diagrams. It can be obtained without charge from the Director of the Survey at Washington. Many thousands of dollars of local capital have been invested in the Bullfrog and other near-by districts.

There was also involved in this case the issue of misbranding, and the decree of the court was that the flour was misbranded. Your attention is called particularly, however, to the adulteration feature because of the misleading circular which is being distributed by the Alsop process company in an effort to induce manufacturers of flour to continue to violate the Food and Drugs Act. An attorney of the Alsop process company, who also represented several of the millers, and other attorneys representing the millers, had a full, fair opportunity in the New Orleans case to contest the issue of adulteration of flour bleached by the Alsop process and refused to do so. I desire to advise manufacturers, vendors, and consumers of bleached flour that there has been no change in the position of this department as announced in food inspection decision No. 100, and sustained by the federal court, i.e., flour bleached by nitrogen peroxid is an adulterated product under the food and drugs act of June 30, 1906; that the character of the adulteration is such that no statement upon the label will bring bleached flour within the law; and that such flour can not legally be made or sold in the District of Columbia or in the Territories, or be transported or sold in interstate commerce.

SANTA ANA WINS DEBATE Takes Davis Silver Cup in Extemporaneous Contest Santa Ana highschool won the extemporaneous debate with Anaheim at the auditorium on Friday evening. The locals were represented by Miss Zella Hollingworth and Miss Nettle Davis. Santa Ana was represented by Howard Hankey and Miss Winifred Roberts. The question debated was, Resolved That women should be given equal political rights with men in the state of California. The locals were allotted the affirmative, while Santa Ana took the negative. The judges were Mr. Nealey of Tustin, Mr. Roy of Orange and Mr. Daniels of Fullerton. Two of the judges voted in favor of Santa Ana, while one voted for Anaheim. By winning the debate Santa Ana takes the S. M. Davis silver cup, which they will hold until next year's contest.
