The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION.....$1.50 Per Year Six Months.....$1.00 Three Months.....50 Cts. The Gazette is issued every Thursday morning. Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. Has the Largest Circulation AN ABLE UP-STATE NEWSPAPER The Sacramento Union, which has been dead once or twice and smells bad, comes to life long enough to give the Gazette the following lambasting: "The narrowness and smallness of some of the papers in Southern California, is illustrated by the Anaheim Gazette, which is endeavoring by misrepresentation to persuade its readers not to vote for any of the bonding propositions but one that will be submitted to the voters next Tuesday. Thus it says: "'Defeat the road bonds, defeat the fair tax of $5,000,000, defeat the India basin million-dollar grab, and defeat the $9,000,000 harbor funds for San Francisco.'" "The only reason for that opposition is that it will benefit this end of the state. There is no other, and there can be no other. The harbor of San Francisco must not be improved because it is not south of the Tehachapi. As there is absolutely no money asked for by any of the harbor improvement bond projects, it is evident that it is simply an effort to injure this part of the state, and that that view is correct is all the more evident because it is noticed that the morning, entailing a loss as it did of $60,000. Had our neighboring town had adequate water pressure, which unfortunately it has not, the splendid building would in all probability have been saved. Anaheim has superb fire-fighting facilities for the center of town. The municipal power plant pumps water directly into the mains, in time of fire, and the fire department throws a number of streams of water to a height of 200 feet. This is good as far as it goes, but the outlying sections have no such protection. More fire plugs are necessary. Some weeks ago a residence on South Lemon St. was totally destroyed by fire, while an abundance of water and fire pressure were at hand, but no fire plugs near enough to render this service available. More fireplugs are urgently necessary. The town is expanding in all directions, and it is up to the municipal authorities to render such protection as in their power lies. Let us heed the lesson of the unfortunate occurrence in our neighboring town. Regret we must express for Fullerton, but let us put our own house in order, that the experience may not be repeated here. NO GREAT DAILY NEWSPAPERS What we said a fortnight since, that there was not a single great daily newspaper in California, applies with equal force, we think, to the daily press of the nation. There is not one which we can now recall that is entitled to that honor. All have degenerated into the mere plaything of millionaires. Those which have not, are subsidized and controlled by the great corporations. They are muzzled creatures, and the tang has long since gone from their bark. We have seen really great dailies of two decades ago, papers which really fought "The only reason for that opposition is that it will benefit this end of the state. There is no other, and there can be no other. The harbor of San Francisco must not be improved because it is not south of the Tehachapi. As there is absolutely no money asked for by any of the harbor improvement bond projects, it is evident that it is simply an effort to injure this part of the state, and that that view is correct is all the more evident because it is noticed that the Gazette and its contemporaries who agree with it in its anti-San Francisco crusade, do not include the San Diego bonds in their demand that the bond scheme shall be defeated. It is far more important, far more to the interests of California that the San Francisco harbor be improved than that the harbor of San Diego shall be enlarged. The southern harbor never will be the important port that San Francisco is today, and it is small and petty to try to injure one end of the state in an effort to build up another. "In the matter of the road bonds the governor has very effectively disposed of the objections to the issue. Writing of the story that San Francisco will not have to pay any of the bonds, he said: "'San Francisco will have no state highways within its boundaries, still it will be called upon to pay its proportion of the bonds. It will get its returns from the general building up of the state, because it must depend upon the population and prosperity of the rest of the state for its future growth. This is equally true of the splendid city of Los Angeles Both of these cities are deeply concerned in the developing of the resources of the state and in the settling of our valleys and mountains." "The governor has thoroughly studied and knows all the details of the proposed law. He was largely responsible for its adoption and he has not shown himself antagonistic to any part of the state, or subservient to San Francisco any more than to Anaheim. His advice is safe to follow, because no narrow provincialism controls his position, as apparently it does that of some southern editors." [The Sacramento Union is a great paper, but if George Terry ever runs across it, Gov. Gillett will lose his staunchest supporter. He'll bury it. —Ed. Gazette.] GOOD LUCK TO FULLERTON Widespread regret is expressed at the destruction of the splendid Eulerton newspaper in California, applies with equal force, we think, to the daily press of the nation. There is not one which we can now recall that is entitled to that honor. All have degenerated into the mere plaything of millionaires. Those which have not, are subsidized and controlled by the great corporations. They are muzzled creatures, and the tang has long since gone from their bark. We have seen really great dailies of two decades ago, papers which really fought good fights for protection of the people's interests, pass into control of the corporations—here in California and elsewhere, eking out a fat existence mere shells of their former selves. Not so many years ago, these newspapers could not live their present lives, but they seem to wax sleek in their present-day infamy. Mayhap their readers are not so discriminating as they once were. There are dailies in our great cities which represent the shipping interests, the steel and iron interests, the sugar interests, and as for the railroad interests, the once great dailies in leash to them may be counted by the score. These papers are read by millions of Americans daily. These people's minds have become so poisoned by the polluted fount of their information that, like the dope fiend, they seemingly cannot get along without it. Yet of such is the boasted civilization of the country. There are no dailies such as the one which exposed and disrupted the Tweed ring in New York a generation ago; nor like that other New York daily which, opposing the national administration in the days following the war, rang out in clarion tones of the abuses of the time, and whose uplifted voice resounded in spirited tones from nation's end to end. Editors there are, indeed, like Greeley, the elder Bennett, like Dana and Jones and Raymond, but their conscience is stilled; and their pens are directed by the will and the caprice of the monopolies which control them. The two New York papers here referred to have long since passed into ownership by the trusts. Mr. Morgan owns them all. It is to the country weeklies, those papers which are nearer the people than their city contemporaries, to which the populace must look for their mental pabulum. These cater to a limited clientele, to be sure, as compared with their contemporaries of the larger centers of population, and it may be the moneyed classes do not consider them as marketable chattels. But when this time comes... Him. His advice is safe to follow, because no narrow provincialism controls his position, as apparently it does that of some southern editors." [The Sacramento Union is a great paper, but if George Terry ever runs across it, Gov. Gillett will lose his staunchest supporter. He'll bury it.—Ed. Gazette.] GOOD LUCK TO FULLERTON Widespread regret is expressed at the destruction of the splendid Fullerton high school building by fire on Friday morning. The building was one of the finest school buildings in Southern California, and the losses conservatively estimated at $60,000, with $34,000 insurance. The new $18,000 polytechnic building just completed near the destroyed structure escaped unharmed, although at one time fears were expressed for its safety. The blow is a severe one to the Fullerton high school district, but a community which has expended $78,000 for tuition of its high school students will not rest until the destroyed schoolhouse shall have been replaced by an edifice in every way its equal, if not its superior. There is no more progressive and enterprising people in the state than those of our neighboring community, and while we regard their loss with sorrow, we know the setback will be but temporary, and that a new schoolhouse will ere long rise upon the ruins of the old. Strength to the arm of our neighbor, and may good fortune attend it as an outcome of the disaster. LET US HEED THE LESSON Anaheim should heed the lesson of the fire which destroyed the Fullerton high school building on Friday It is to the country weeklies, those papers which are nearer the people than their city contemporaries, to which the populace must look for their mental pabulum. These career to a limited clientele, to be sure, as compared with their contemporaries of the larger centers of population, and it may be the moneyed classes do not consider them as marketable chattels. But when this time comes, if ever it comes, there will be an end to the liberties of the masses, and government of the people, by one people, and for the people, will perish from the earth. UNREASONABLE PEOPLE Can it be that there are people in California who do not read the Anaheim Gazette? It must be so, since had the exposition bonds not won in every portion of the state, in last week's election. Evidently, even a "real" newspaper of such metropolitan dimensions as the Anaheim Gazette cannot sway the state—which shows how unreasonable are the people of California.—Huntington Beach Pancake. A SAD COMMENTARY The Anaheim Gazette is responsible for the statement which if true, and we are not sure but that it is, is certainly a sad comment upon California newspapers: "There is not a single great daily newspaper in California, one which honestly represents the interests of the people, one in which the people may place their faith, and follow as a leader. Not one."—Norwalk Call. ANAHEIM GAZETTE McGimpsey & Gage Grocery Stock Bankrupt SALE S. A. Frug Clothing, Shoes, Hats. SALE STARTS Thursday DECEMBER 1, 1910 W. H.

FOREIGN OLIVE CROP SHORT Ravages of the olive fly, despite vigorous efforts to exterminate it, are chiefly responsible for a decidedly unfavorable outlook for the olive oil crop in Mediterranean countries this year, according to consular reports. It is practically certain the crop, which will be gathered in a few weeks, will be but 45 per cent of the normal. Only a fair crop is looked for in France, while an extremely scarce production is reported from Tunis and Algiers. In Spain, a quarter to one-third of the average yield is expected and in Greece still less. Syria also has a poor crop. LANDS OPEN TO ENTRY Lands reaching the grand total of 1,737,000 acres in California and Nevada were opened to settlement this week and to entry one month hence, in accordance with a proclamation of the interior department. The lands were originally withdrawn for the Truckee-Carson irrigation project, but have been restored owing to the fact that they are not easily irrigable.

The canvas-sing board having in charge the ballots cast at last Tuesday's election have announced the result. The vote stands: George Dierker, Olive, 15-713.16; A. G. Finley, El Modena, 12-545.86; Fred Rohrs, Santa Ana, 12-380.13; E. M. Nealley, Tustin, 12,135-50; L. E. Smith, West Orange, 10-099.50; Albert Fuller, Tustin, 10,037- 49; D. C. Drake, Orange, 100.5. Smith will take the place of Drake on the board. Smith's election probably will not result in any radical changes in the policy of the company. The new policy people have contended for many changes, among other things favoring the development of water by pumping plants. To some of their policies Finley and Rohrs are said to be favorable, but they are not expected to stand with Smith for radical changes.
