Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. Has the Largest Circulation A WORD TO REPUBLICANS Next Tuesday occurs the election. We have a word with you, before you prepare your ballots for submission to the ballot-box. Do not forget the local candidates for county office who are being opposed by democratic candidates, upon whom that party is centering its energies to the end that republican disaffection may land them in office. The democrats of Orange county go before the people this year with a confession of weakness in their bobtail ticket which omits some of the most important offices in the county. They have made no nominations for county clerk, assessor, recorder and tax collector, and the republican nominees for these offices will be elected, in all probability, without any great shakes of opposition. BONDS FOR SCHOOLHOUSE The school trustees of this district will soon call an election for bonds in the sum of $40,000 for the erection of a school building. In order to meet the demands of our constantly growing population, more school room is necessary. The district's school houses are inadequate to the demands made upon them, and the trustees have been compelled to rent rooms to provide for the overflow. There should be no objection to these bonds. Additional schoolroom is demanded, and bonds are the only means at command of the district for procuring it. In this connection it may be pointed out that on Tuesday next there will be several fantastic state bond propositions to be submitted to the voters, aggregating many millions. These, we believe, should be defeated. Let us vote money to build school houses at home, but let us draw the line at political grabs at the treasury. AREA OF CALIFORNIA NATIONAL FOREST The president has signed a proclamation eliminating 58,732 acres from the California National Forest, California, and adding 4784 acres. These changes are the result of a careful field examination made by the U.S. department of agriculture in pursuance of a general plan for the correction of all national forest boundaries. The eliminations comprise areas found upon examination to be not chiefly valuable for national forest purposes, being covered with grass or brush and unfit for planting.

Lester's term of office of the people's money he led for without legal waiver a penny has gone astray record of which any feel proud. That is the man whom taxpayer desire to retain in office miss our guess, Mr. I. returned to office by our best votes on the tickle. His opponent has hated Santa Ana twenty-five by all fair methods of action.

Because Mr. Lester point a Berrydale nonordinate position some gentleman has been time to compass his dprehend there will be auditor's race next Teter—first, last and a Stand by him. He has capability completely to his party's vote. The democrats of Orange county go before the people this year with a confession of weakness in their bobtail ticket which omits some of the most important offices in the county. They have made no nominations for county clerk, assessor, recorder and tax collector, and the republican nominees for these offices will be elected, in all probability, without any great shakes of opposition. The democrats are centering their fire on the offices of sheriff, district attorney, treasurer, auditor, assemblyman, county school superintendent and coroner. These democratic candidates cannot be elected unless by republican defection—and defection from as worthy a lot of nominees as ever came before the people asking their suffrages. Let republicans remember these candidates on election day: Charley Ruddock for sheriff. L. A. West for district attorney. J. C. Metzgar for treasurer. Cal D. Lester for auditor. Clyde Bishop for assemblyman. R. P. Mitchell for county school superintendent. Theo. A. Winbigler for coroner and public administrator. H. H. Hale for supervisor Third district. Upon these men the fire of the democratic party is centered. That party confesses its inability to elect other officials, and it seeks republican voters to desert these men. These candidates, all of them, are entitled to the support of their party. Do not betray them at the polls. Do not first place them in nomination, send them through the campaign with a Judas promise of support upon your lips, and then subject them to the humiliation of defeat at the polls. These men are carrying the banner of republicanism in Orange county. Stand by them, men of the party, and elect them. If they shall fail, with the republicans in 2000 majority in this county, the shame shall be upon you. Stand by these men and elect all of them. You can do it. Be men. Stand up for the right. NO PLUNGING INTO DEBT "Money is being used," shrieks a San Francisco newspaper, "to corrupt interior newspapers to oppose the fair tax." So? Funny how these San Francisco papers shriek about the corrupt use of money whenever mation eliminating 58,732 acres from the California National Forest, California, and adding 4784 acres. These changes are the result of a careful field examination made by the U. S. department of agriculture in pursuance of a general plan for the correction of all national forest boundaries. The eliminations comprise areas found upon examination to be not chiefly valuable for national forest purposes, being covered with grass or brush and unfit for planting. The largest area released is at the north west corner of the forest, north of the Round Valley Indian reservation. A strip from one to two miles wide and twelve miles long at the northeast corner of the forest and lying northwest from Paskenta is eliminated. Eliminations are also made from areas adjacent to other portions on the eastern and western boundaries. The additions are located entirely in the southern portion of the forest and comprise lands which, while not heavily timbered, are susceptible of foreststation and are important from a watershed point of view. One area forms a part of the headwaters of Cache Creek and is located north of Hough Springs. The other additions comprise sections 32 and 33, T15N, R7W., and the E. 1-2 of section 24, T15N.; R9W. Portions of this area have been burned over and are reforesting naturally with commercial species. The unappropriated portions of the lands eliminated by this proclamation will be restored to settlement and entry after they shall have been advertised in the local papers by the secretary of the interior. CREDIT FOR THE RAILROADS We are in the habit of taking so many cracks at the railroads nowadays, deserved or otherwise as the case may be, that it is pleasant to note the liberality of the Santa Fg and Southern Pacific companies with reference to furnishing piles for protecting the river's banks at the Yorba and Olive bridges. The first named company will this week have 560 piles on the ground, given free to the county, and the latter company has given the promise to donate 150 for work at the Olive bridge. These piles laid down at the river are worth between $4 and $5 each, so we have a donation from these two corporations in excess of $3000. The supervisors have appropriated $1000 for this work at the Yorba bridge, and will probably provide a similar mation eliminating 58,732 acres from the California National Forest, California, and adding 4784 acres.

HYATT A POPULATION One of the striking official returns of our station just prffnted by state, at Sacramento Edward Hyatt for his public instruction. Tisian endorsement at league candidate against these heaviest only a little short off slide. Johnson's exeption 666, Hyatt's 99,308, two thousand odd. Hyatt carried 50 ties of the state, plus league plurality more than one-third of them but better. Rivership gave a four-to-a-ramango a majority. This practical tire vote of a great interest to invest NO PLUNGING INTO DEBT "Money is being used," shrieks a San Francisco newspaper, "to corrupt interior newspapers to oppose the fair tax." So? Funny how these San Francisco papers shriek about the corrupt use of money whenever their opinions are dissented from. It requires no corrupt use of money to make a self-respecting newspaper feel itself impelled to oppose this $5,000,000 tax-grab, and the only use of money which we have been able to discern is that which keeps a coterie of tax boosters in the field urging newspapers and voters generally to support this proposed tax upon the property of those who are illly able to pay it. Down with it. Let San Francisco finance her own fair. Also down with the $18,000,000 road bonds, from which San Francisco has secured exemption from interest payments if they should carry. Down with all these bond issues, which are nothing short of infamous. They seek to plunge the taxpayers of the state into deep and everlasting indebtedness. An association styling itself the American ship-masters association of the Pacific coast, having headquarters at San Francisco, is burdening the mails with correspondence about the India basin and harbor fund bills. The former it opposes, while the latter comes in for endorsement. Inasmuch as the India basin act calls for only $1,000,000, and the harbor bonds $9,000,000, the shipmasters association will find little sympathy in the interior, where voters are not overwhelmingly in favor of rushing headlong into debt. A FAITHFUL OFFICIAL No man in the courthouse is more worthy the support of citizens throughout the county than Cal D. Lester, the efficient and courteous auditor of Orange county. He has had the office a single term, and has proved himself to be an industrious and capable official in every sense of the word. His predecessor held the office sixteen years. We think Mr. Lester is entitled to another term. He has on several occasions been publicly commended by the grand jury for the neatness and accuracy of his books and the businesslike adminis- tration of his office. An expert accountant and one of the foremost mathematicians of the county, he is just the man to be in control of this important office, where the county's bills are audited and warrants drawn for their payment. During Mr. Lester's term of office, not a dollar of the people's money has been vouched for without legal warrant, and not a penny has gone astray. That is a record of which any man ought to feel proud. That is the character of the man whom taxpayers generally desire to retain in office. Unless we miss our guess, Mr. Lester will be returned to office by one of the largest votes on the ticket. His opponent has held office in Santa Ana twenty-five years, and has by all fair methods earned a vacation. He was a candidate on the Independence League ticket four years ago with Langdon, whose candidacy resulted in the defeat of Bell. Mr. Tedford cannot be elected except by republican votes, and no republican should fail to support such an efficient and capable official as Mr. Lester has proven himself to be. Vote for Cal D. Lester, and you will vote for a good square man, with an honorable record, and one of the very best and most competent officials in the courthouse. Because Mr. Lester refused to appoint a Berrydale nonentity to a subordinate position some time ago, that gentleman has been working overtime to compass his defeat, but we ap prehend there will be nothing to the auditor's race next Tuesday but Lester—first, last and all the time. Stand by him. He has proven his capability completely. He is entitled to his party's vote. Stand by him. Royal BAKING POWDER Crullers, All Cakes, Biscuits, Hot Breads More Tasty, Economical, Absolutely Healthful LOCAL NOTES WITHIN 3 FEET OF GOAL Miss Alma Mills and her cousin. Anaheim High Narrowly Misses Put- TRADING OFF CANDIDATES Rumors are current that trades are being made in the interest of certain democratic candidates for county office. While more or less of this has been done in Orange county in past campaigns, there exists no reason why the practice should be followed this year, as the republican ticket is the strongest ever placed in nomination by the party. The candidates come from the people, having been nominated at the direct primary, with no entanglements of a boss-ridden convention hampering their movements. To scratch a single man is to announce one's self opposed to the direct primary system of nominating the candidates. More than that, a republican who would deliberately trade off his party's nominees should be read out of the party. Stand by your ticket. HYATT A POPULAR OFFICIAL One of the striking features in the official returns of the primary election, just printed by the secretary of state, at Sacramento, is the vote of Edward Hyatt for superintendent of public instruction. Hyatt had no partisan endorsement and had an active league candidate against him; yet against these heavy odds, won out, only a little short of the Johnson land slide. Johnson's exact vote was 101,666, Hyatt's 99,308, a difference of two thousand odd. Hyatt carried 50 of the 58 counties of the state, pulled down the league plurality more than a thousand and in each of the strong counties of Fresno, Tulare and Santa Clara, and reduced it more than nine thousand in Los Angeles. He carried every rural and mountain county in the state, one-third of them by a two-to-one vote or better. Riverside, his home county, gave a four-to-one vote; and Sacramento a majority of three thousand. This practical reversal of the entire vote of a great state is of much interest to investigators of the primaries. LOCAL NOTES Miss Alma Mills and her cousin, Miss Ethel Bannerman of Riverside are visiting in town, guests of Robt. Mills on Hedwig street.

Secretary Phelps of the local walnut association reports the shipment of twenty cars of nuts so far this season, with ten more to follow. The walnuts go to eastern cities, Pittsburg purchasing three cars. The packing-house will close for the season probably next week. S. H. Manderscheld has petitioned for letters of administration on the estate of his mother, Marie Mandercheld, who died suddenly at San Juan hot springs on Aug. 26th. The estate consists largely of a half interest in a 23-acre ranch at Old Newport and valued at $2300. William Bonkosky has sold his 25 fumigating tents to C. C. Chapman, and after eleven years at the business will retire to his ten-acre ranch west of town and set the same to Valencia oranges. He purchased the land eight years ago, and intends to make it one of the show places of the west country. The Allun club was entertained on Wednesday evening by Miss Agnes Rimpau at the home of her sister, Mrs. C. Clark, on East Center street. Progressive whistle was the feature of the evening, Mrs. Fred Conrad winning the first prize, a Japanese brass vase, and Mrs. C. A. Clark, the second prize, a Japanese hatpin holder. The next meeting of the club will be held at the home of Mrs. Merton Skinner. A stipulation for judgment in favor of the defendant has been filed in the suit of Sarah and M. R.

There was a general suspicion that the locals would be able to win the game easily for by their showing a week before when they carried Fullerton to defeat they showed the qualities that make winners, but in Orange a tarar was found and in Kelly, their halfback, a puzzle which was hard to solve and for a while—in fact, throughout the first half it seemed imminent that Orange would score, and in fact she did but as misfortune for them and fortune for us would have it Kelly fumbled the ball and Captain Typton recovered it punting out of danger with the result that from then on the play was most of the time in Orange's territory and they on the defense, but the hoodoo had it on us and though outplaying the visitors two to one we were unable to score. As a display of determination and vim there was nothing in question as concerns the locals and each man stuck to his job like a true football man should but the just as a score seemed imminent we were penalized or held for downs. In the matter of penalties Anaheim received in all almost the length of the field. This was due in a large measure to over-anxiousness for more than half the distance was lost by our men being of side and the remainder for pushing which is not allowed this year. These penalties came close to our goal and had the boys been a little more discreet they should have won by at least two touch downs. A different story may be told when we meet Orange on her grounds on Friday, November 11th. Our next game is on Friday of this week with the strong Santa Ana team. WHO WILL YOU VOTE FOR? Editor Gazette—The big corporate Judge William P. Lawler of San Francisco, democratic candidate for associate justice of the supreme court was in town on Tuesday on an auto tour of the state. Judge Lawlor is superior judge of San Francisco, and is the man who tried the Calhoun-Ruef graft cases. He sentenced Ruef to prison. His record is a good one, and he is entitled to the support of the people.

A stipulation for judgment in favor of the defendant has been filed in the suit of Sarah and M. R. Lee against the city of Anaheim.

"The imagination is wonderful," said a college professor. "I know a Chicago man who went last summer to Asbury Park. He in a quiet way proved my point. He didn't reach Asbury Park till 10 o'clock at night, and very tired, he turned in at once. As he settled his head comfortably on the pillow he said to his wife: "Listen to the thunder and hiss of the surges, Maria. I haven't heard that glorious sound for forty years. No more insomnia now!" And, indeed, for the first time in three months the man slept like a log. But when he awoke in the morning he found that the uprear which had lulled him to sleep was the noise of a garage in the rear of the hotel. The sea was over a mile away." - Detroit Free Press.

It was a dying man's whimsey, but Henley took the train from Edinburgh and arrived in London to find his friend dead. Under the Spell.

A GOOD AMENDMENT Out of the multiplicity of bad measures offered the people of the state as proposed amendments to the constitution, to be voted upon next Tuesday, it is pleasant to record the fact that at least one meritorious measure is submitted for consideration.Senate Amendment No. 36 enables the governor of the state to assign or the judges of a county to call in superior court judges from other counties to expedite the trial of causes and the clearance of the calendar. When the governor assigns a judge to such service it becomes his duty to accept the assignment, when he is called in by the judges themselves, acceptance of the summons is left optional. In some of the counties of the state notably in Los Angeles and San Francisco, the number of causes that come on for hearing is so large that long delays result, and sometimes delays mean a substantial denial of justice. The proposed amendment would make the judicial system of the state adequately flexible without any increase in cost. In some counties the judge of the superior court speedily disposes of the brief calendar. There is no reason why his services should not then, on occasion, be made available in other counties when the calendar is clogged with business. The amendment would make it mandatory on him to accept assignment on the governor's action, which probably would not often be invoked, as the authorization of judges to call on their fellow judges for assistance doubtless would suffice to meet all ordinary emergencies. It is a good amendment. REALTY SALES Elliott-Bushard realty company report the following transactions negotiated by them: Ten acres of oranges on East Center street, Mrs. Clemens to A. E.
