MERCHANTS HAVE BIG FEED Col. Royer tells them Anaheim will soon have Hotel The Retail Merchants Association met on Wednesday evening of last week. After the transaction of business the members dined in the banquet room of the Odd Fellows' building, Col. J. O. Royer and Hon. Richard Melrose were guests. Col. Royer announced that L. J. Christopher of Los Angeles and himself contemplate the erection of a modern hotel building, on his property, on East Center street, at a cost of about $25,000. The Uniform Rank Industrial Association is to be incorporated with a capital stock of $100,000, with the object of starting a factory here for the manufacture of lodge uniforms and regalias, and some other industries, for the benefit of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias. The Merchants Association has secured rooms in the Library building and a committee has been appointed to attend to furnishing them. Herman Stern, chairman of the committee appointed by the association to obtain donations to the Anaheim Sugar Company, for the purpose of getting contracts for the growing of the bees, reported that he had secured practically the full amount. The paving company has met with some difficulties on West Center St. In working the surface down to a grade it, in one place, struck a body of sand and was compelled to excavate this about two feet below grade and then refill with heavy soil and gravel to give a firm base. It also plowed up numerous cross ties and some rails that were a part of the old horse car line to West Anaheim. L. A. DURFEE, CANDIDATE FOR THE REPUBLICAN NQMINATION FOR SUPT.

There is about four miles of road that lies in the river bottom. This road washes out every year. There has been some talk of transferring the road to higher ground, but that is said to be an undertaking involving a tremendous expense, for the ground is rugged and many of the grades would have to be very heavy. The visit of Engineer Halladay, W. H. Burnham and R. T. Harris, member and secretary of the Highway Commission, and Supervisor Struck a few days ago was one of inspection, and no definite conclusion was reached as to what the solution shall be. The matter will be talked over by commissioners at their meeting today. No conclusion will be reached until after the report of Engineer Halladay is completed, showing what the cost per mile will be for proposed improvements. There is no way of telling as yet when the commissioners' report will be completed. Everyone is hard at work on the project.

THE SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENCY In order to make all the schools of this county—especially the smaller schools—equal to any, and superior to most, I propose, if elected by the people of this county as superintendent of schools, to: First. Appoint a deputy who is a competent and experienced teacher, one who can help shape and carry on the educational work of the office, and who can discuss and do school business on six days of the week. This will be a great convenience to outside trustees. Second. Introduce agricultural work and domestic science work to be done at the inspiration of the school under the combined guidance of the school and home. Third. Have a great annual exhibition of (a) Above mentioned agricultural and domestic science work.(b) Manual training from all schools.(c) Collections of rocks, soils, woods, etc.(d) Drawing, writing, composition, maps, note books, etc. This exhibition of work from all schools of the county would be a wonderful stimulant to the activities of the boys and girls, developing in them powers and possibilities new little dreamed of. Fourth. Organize and supervise the work of the smaller schools of the county by a system of personal visits., conferences, bulletins, frequent written reports from the teachers and teachers' meetings. By these means the efficiency of these schools may be greatly increased. The work of a Supt. of Schools should be active not passive, positive not negative. He should be an enthusiast for the betterment of the schools, and should be personally interested in and encourage the schools to become interested in the material progress of the county. The schools should be the especial pride of the county and the county should be the especial pride of the schools. With the hearty co-operation bound to follow an attempt to inaugurate active constructive measures along above lines, our smaller schools would soon become a matter of individual pride for every citizen, our boys and girls would receive greater opportunities, and the material benefits to the new census will pitate a political troopery of vital importance. Based upon this represents, Congress termine whether the sentatives shall be larged, which will unwieldly than it is the aggregate of a member of congress creased, which will house will retain its ship and possibly moth. Some states, if adopted, will lose congress through dilution during the late others are certain to growth in the new habitants. The proportioning is one of 194,000 inhabitants; house consists of 384. If congress were present census then institution observed by representatives with sixty-eight members bring the total number 460. It is not expected this ratio will be maintained. It is expected that portionment bill number of the members will be fixed at one. This would mean that remain practically true. A hard fight undermined against the large ratio, especially tiled portions of those who fear that er will reduce their size. The more thickly bably will raise no proposition of this would be inclined to would insure a rela presentation.

The execution came out of the superior court in the case of Charles Schindler against C. C. Young, an action brought by a contractor who laid a sidewalk under the Vrooman Act. Young refused to pay his assessment. There were two executions issued, and in one a lot was sold to F. C. Spencer, who was Schindler's attorney, for $90.80. Spencer also bid for and took three lots for $155. Congressman S. C. Smith has been in Orange county this week shaking the hand of the voter and telling of the beauties of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. Mr. Smith is a candidate for re-election, and will probably land the renomination, although Mr. Kirby of San Diego is out for his scalp, and is said lately to have made incursions into Smith's territory.

The mother told the child to say her prayers and promised to be back in a few minutes. When she returned she asked the child if she had done as she was bidden. "Well, you see, mamma, I was awfully sleepy, so I just asked God if he wouldn't excuse me tonight, and he said, 'Oh, certainly; don't mention it, Miss Brooks.' " Three and a quarter billions of dollars was the value of the foreign commerce of the United States for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1910. The value of imports was $1,500,000,000. The imports were larger than in any preceding year except 1907 and 1908.

SAN JUAN A 14 room building in San Juan Hot Springs canyon was struck by lightning on Monday morning and destroyed. The occupants of the building escaped without injury. The building was owned by Rev. Alfred Quitu, head of the French colony that occupies lands in the canyon above San Juan Capistrano. The structure was of wood. The house was known as the old Belford house. It was built during boom times, and was owned by the McNally (publisher) estate. At 6:30 o'clock the lightning struck the cupola in which during the old boom a telegraph station was located. Rev. Quitu was present during the fire. He said the building carried insurance. One of the first to see the fire said that it started in the cupola and spread quickly to the second story, and when he arrived the entire second floor was afire. With the flash of lightning and the crash of thunder the two or three persons in the building ran out into the open. The building was burned within a few minutes. There was a heavy fall of rain at the mission village. The water came down in a tremendous downpour. Lightning struck the earth within a few feet of a Mexican's house near Aliso station. Two holes were torn in the ground. Patronize home industry. Go to the Anaheim Winery; pure wines and liquors, also local and Los Angeles beer. Open Saturday nights to 10 o'clock p.m. T. J. F.

CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATION The new census promises to precipitate a political and sectional controversy of vital interest to the people. Based upon the population it represents, Congress will have to determine whether the house of representatives shall be numerically enlarged, which will make the body more unwieldly than it is now or whether the aggregate of persons entitled to a member of congress shall be increased, which will mean that the house will retain its present membership and possibly may be reduced. Some states, if the latter plan is adopted, will lose representation in congress through diminution of population during the last ten years, while others are certain of an increase due to growth in the number of their inhabitants. The present ratio of apportioning is one member for every 194,000 inhabitants. The present house consists of 391 members. If congress were to adopt for the present census the ratio of apportionment observed in 1900, the house of representatives would be increased by sixty-eight members. This would bring the total membership up to 460. It is not expected, however, that this ratio will be maintained. It is expected that when the apportionment bill is considered the number of the members of the house will be fixed at one for every 225,000. This would mean that the house will remain practically at its present figure. A hard fight undoubtedly will be made against the adoption of such a large ratio, especially by sparsely settled portions of the country, and by those who fear that emigration further will reduce their population. The more thickly settled states probably will raise no objection to a proposition of this kind, and indeed, would be inclined to favor it, since it would insure a relatively larger representation.

STANTON AS A LEGISLATOR Philip A. Stanton has served four terms in the California Legislature, and during the last session was Speaker of the Assembly. During other sessions he served as Chairman of the committee on Ways and Means and of the committee on Election Laws. During these eight years of service he has inaugurated, or brought to their passage, measures which have saved to the people of California many millions of dollars. These include changes in conducting the business of the legislature; preventing legislators from taking junketing trips at the expense of the state; compelling attaches to earn the pay they receive from the state; improving and modernizing the state house at Sacramento instead of tearing it down and building, at great expense, another to take its place; in preventing the powerful organization forces from removing the state capitol to Berkeley; in protecting the walnut and fruit orchards and vineyards of the state; in preventing the sale of the Normal school property, in Los Angeles, for less than its value; in cutting down appropriations asked for while he was chairman of the committee on ways and means, more than six million dollars. Probably his greatest service, and one that has earned the undying enmity of a certain element in the state, was that while Speaker he made possible the passage of the anti-racetrack gambling bill. This measure was one greatly desired by the best people of California, but it was bitterly opposed by every influence which the gambling fraternity could bring to bear, and Stanton was threatened with political annihilation should he dare to make it possible for the bill to pass. In view of all threats, however, he appointed the committee on Public Morals of a character that met the approval of the best people of the state, and in every way assisted in the passage of this law. This one feature of his record is well known to all who had any part in the anti-racetrack gambling movement, and that is one reason why he is so strongly backed in his candidacy for governor. These are a few of the scores of measures passed during the last eight years of the highest benefit to the people of California, and which have brought Stanton to the front as the Southern California candidate for governor. NOTICE Resh & Co. having dissolved partnership some time since, this is to give notice that Mrs. Resh is in no way connected with the new firm of Resh-McCarthy Co., which is doing business in McCarthy & Co.'s old office until the new Hart building has been completed, at which time they will occupy rooms in the same, and which they will furnish in an up-to-date manner for office purposes. Mr. John Resh is connected only with the firm of Resh-McCarthy Co. John Resh. A MILLION IMMIGRANTS Washington, July 19.—Nearly 25,000 of the immigrants who arrived at the United States ports during the fiscal year ended June 30 last were denied admission by the immigration officials and were compelled to return to the countries from which they came. The fiscal year 1910 was a million immigrants year, the first for several years, the total number admitted being 1,041,570. Of the arrivals,786,094 came to New York; 53,617 to Boston; 37,641 to Philadelphia and 30,563 to Baltimore.

It will be noticed that his record for work accomplished is greatly in excess of all that is claimed for any one of his competitors for the republican nomination.
