MILLS ON GOOD ROADS Presents Facts and Figures Calculated to Make the Voter's Hair Curl Editor Gazette: Ever since the good roads proposition was started there has been more or less discussion as to the proper distribution of the roads over the county. With the resignation of Mr. Chapman from the commission and the appointment of Mr. Egan in the extreme southern end of the county, some of the best friends of good roads in the northern end of the county are now seriously considering the question. Through the courtesy and help of County Auditor Lester, Assessor Scott, and Clerk Williams, the voters and the assessed valuations have been obtained and here arranged in groups. The entire registered vote of the county is 7,280, while the assessed valuation is $31,939,748, or $32,000,000 in round numbers. Assuming that it will take 140 miles of the paved roads to reach all towns in the county at an approximate cost of $1,500,000, the mileage and the money I have apportioned among the different sections; first, in proportion to the registered voters; second, as to assessed valuation. The north half of the county, north of the center of Santa Ana, has 4,758 voters, which is 65 per cent of the total, and would be entitled to 91 miles of the 140 and $975,000 of the $1,500,000; south half, south of the center of Santa Ana, 2522 voters, which is 35 per cent and should have 49 miles and $525,000; north of Santa Ana and west of the river, 2570 voters, a few more than the whole south half of the county, including half of Santa Ana, which is 35 per cent plus, and should be entitled to 49 miles and $525,000; the third supervisorial district with 2137 voters, en- Howard R. Gaines, secretary of San Bernardino county and S. Warren Douglas of Orange county will be in charge of the camps assisted by able leaders. GETS JUDGMENT FOR $50C0 Anaheim Couple Fall to Appear in Superior Court, Lose Out Mrs. Nico Meyer and her husband, Carl Meyer, both of Anaheim, abstented themselves from court in a suit for $15,000 damages brought against them, and on the showing of the plaintiff, the defendants not appearing, Judge Densmore of Riverside, sitting for Judge West, on Monday morning gave judgment for $5000 in favor of the plaintiff, Mrs. Mary E. Bridenbecker, a widow of Redondo. The next thing Mrs. Bridenbecker has on her hands is to collect the judgment, which her attorneys admit is likely to be difficult. It seems that the Meyers preferred deeding their property to others rather than go into court and fight the damage suit in which judgment was rendered. According to the complaint and the evidence put on the stand by the plaintiff, Mrs. Meyer owned a house at Redondo. She put out a sign, "For rent. Key next door." Mrs. Bridenbecker went next door, rented the place and took possession. Mrs. Meyer found herself dissatisfied with the fact that the tenant had children, four in number. Mrs. Meyer ordered Mrs. Bridenbecker to take her children and go. Mrs. Meyer swore to a misdemeanor complaint in the recorder's court. Mrs. Bridenbecker put up $35 cash bail, was tried by a jury and acquitted. The arrest was made Nov. 23, 1909. Attorney Chester Smith of Los Angeles filed the complaint in this county. Smith was a witness. He testified that it was his understanding that the Meyers had transferred their property rather than fight the suit. Judge Densmore stated that under those circumstances it would look as though the plaintiff would have to bring other litigation to get this property into shape for getting execution upon it. He gave the plaintiff judgment for $5000. COUNTY SEAT BRIEFS Sheriff Lacy has received a telegram from Ensenada, Mex., saying that the Mexican government has honored the extradition papers issued to bring to Santa Ana for trial Rosario. JOY-RIDERS IN BAD Boys and Girls Painting Her Red at County Seat Joy-riders are the latest vogue at Santa Ana, and boys and girls who take autos belonging to others and keep them out all night will be in bad, for the auto club has offered a reward of $100, real money, for conviction of this newest class of offenders. One night last week Dr. Ball's automobile was taken from the corner of Fourth and Bush streets. Officers searched for it all night. It was found at 4 o'clock the following morning in the middle of the road near the corner of Second and Flower streets. It was spattered with oil and mud, and was abandoned only when the battery gave out. The joy-riders consumed five gallons of gasoline. The big Stoddard-Dayton car of C. C. Chapman of Placentia was taken from in front of Joseph Yoch's house on North Main street. It was several hours later found two blocks away. O. B. Hawk and J. P. Boring have been recent victims. Wm. F. Lutz Co. of Santa Ana handle the leading brands of implements. Some say the buggy business is gone; look at the new ones on the road and see how many you will find that were sold by the Wm. F. Lutz Co. of Santa Ana. COUNTY SEAT BRIEPS Sheriff Lacy has received a telegram from Ensenada, Mex., saying that the Mexican government has honored the extradition papers issued to bring to Santa Ana for trial Rosario Sainz, charged with the murder of Jose Machado at a sheep-shearing camp at Sunset Beach last September Sainz has been held in jail at Ensenada for several weeks. His case presented an unusual feature in extradition. He registered at Anaheim as a voter, having declared that California was his birthplace. At the same time he maintained citizenship at Ensenada. Extradition had to be referred to the seat of government, instead of being settled at Ensenada, as possibly would have been the case had Sainz been a citizen of California only. The Santa Ana Elks have let a contract for the erection of a fine new lodge building on Sycamore street between Fifth and Sixth streets. The successful bidder was G. E. Preble of Santa Ana, his figure being $25,001. Tuesday the Elks paraded and raised a flag upon the site of the new building. OPEN SATURDAY EVENINGS The winery of T. J. F.

Juny of St. Michael's Episcopal church preached the baccalaureate sermon to high school graduates at the auditorium on Sunday evening. Services in the churches were dispensed with for the evening, and the congregations assembled to hear the address of the learned man of God. Songs were rendered by high school students and a choir under the direction of Miss Ames. Rev. Juny's subject was "The Spirit of Criticism and the Spirit of Love." He said in part: The question is, What is true criticism and what false criticism, what true scholarship and what false scholarship? True criticism and knowledge have always gone hand in hand. Criticism is a most important and necessary function in our progress, in all search for truth. The results of and the avoidance of intolerance, the critical scholar often misunderstood, the mass of the peole not able to follow his conclusions and findings, because they have not read, his critical and special scholarly training. The spirit of Love is behind all true critical research. He spoke specially of Biblical criticism and scholarship and illustrated his points. The spirit of Love is the great leader into all truth. The road of criticisms is difficult and dangerous. It is not the best road for all to travel, because every one is not fitted to cope with its hardships and dangers. The road of trust and faith and love is the safest road for the most of us. We cannot see the truth in exactly the same way, from the same point, or in the same degree. But when led by the SURVEYING RIVER CHANNEL Newbert Protection District Begins Work to Curb River Engineer Fred Stanley commenced on Monday on the preliminary survey of the Santa Ana river channel which is being prepared for the Newbert Protection District. The survey is for the purpose of setting stakes on both sides of the channel so as to let the owners of the property through whose land the river will go, know just what valuation to put on the land. The survey which was made at first had to be changed owing to the fact that the width of the channel has been changed since that time. The former survey was for a six hundred foot channel, while the one which is to be laid out now is to be four hundred feet from the starting point which is just a little above the place where the Santiago creek empties into the river, down to the south end of the sewer farm, where it will be gradually narrowed to three hundred and fifty feet which will run to the Pacific Electric bridge where the channel will be again narrowed fifty feet. From the bridge on, it will be three hundred feet. The work on the survey is being done by Engineer Stanley, under the supervision of Engineer H. C. Kellogg, who at present is in the northern part of the state. At the present time there has been about $60,000 worth of bonds of the Newbert Protection District sold, and with this money the directors will commence the work of buying the right of way. The preliminary survey is calculated to give them something to figure on, and if the price asked by the owners is too high, then it will be necessary to condemn the land. The preliminary survey will A Storekeeper Says: "A lady came into my store lately and said: "I have been using a New Perfection Oil Cook-Stove all winter in my apartment. I want one now for my summer home. I think these oil stoves are wonderful. If only women knew what a comfort they are, they would all have one. I spoke about my stove to a lot of my friends, and they were astonished. They thought that there was smell and smoke from an oil stove, and that it heated a room just like any other stove. I told them of my experience, and one after another they got one, and now, not one of them would give hers up for five times its cost." The lady who said this had thought an oil stove was all right for quickly heating milk for a baby, or boiling a kettle of water, or to make coffee quickly in the morning, but she never dreamed of using it for difficult or heavy cooking. Now—she knows. Do you really appreciate what a New Perfection Oil Cook-Stove means to you? No more coal to carry, no more edging to the dinner table; no tired out that you can't eat. Just light a Perfection Stove and immediately heat from an intense blue flame shoots up to the bottom of pot, kettle or oven. But the room isn't heated. There is no smoke, no smell, no outside heat, no drudgery in the kitchen where one of these stoves is used. New Perfection WICK BLUE FLAME Oil Cook-stove H. H.
