Mr. Scott had lived in this county many years and had held responsible offices of public trust, in all of which he rendered faithful account of his stewardship. For four years past he had served as county assessor, and so well was he loved by the people that he was renominated at the August primary election after a bitter struggle, in which he was made the object of splenetic attack on the part of one of his rivals. His friends did not waver in his support, although he devoted almost his entire time to the duties of his office, which demanded his attention during the primary contest, his triumphant renomination followed. He felt keenly the aspersions cast upon his official character, and at the close of the campaign was physically weakened and repaired to the seaside in a vain attempt to recuperate his shat- will be a meeting of all who are interested in developing the various phases of our Y.M.C.A. athletics.

Culp, vice president. THE CHEESE STRAW HAS A CRAMP We find the following able editorial in the columns of our esteemed contemporary, the Huntington Beach Cheese Straw: "Comes now Editor Kuchel of the Anaheim Gazette and says, regarding the pilfering of Prof. Oogle-Google's article on the Decadence in the Price of Cheese By-Products, written for and published in the Huntington Beach Cheese Straw: 'The greatest compliment that can be paid to the Cheese Straw is the reproduction of one of its articles in a real newspaper.' Perhaps, when properly credited, but we cannot admit the Gazette to the rolls of 'real newspapers'" [like the Cheese Straw] since the latter are presumed to be published and edited by men whose morals do not condone pilfering, whether literary or otherwise and whose sense of justice is far too strong to permit them to name as 'assassins' those whose opinions differ from their own. It requires a 'real' editor to conduct a 'real' newspaper, Mr. Gazette."

His friends did not waver in his support, and although he devoted almost his entire time to the duties of his office, which demanded his attention during the primary contest, his triumphant nomination followed. He felt keenly the aspersions cast upon his official character, and at the close of the campaign was physically weakened and repaired to the seaside in a vain attempt to recuperate his shattered nervous forces. In the general campaign which followed he had no opponent, the democratic party refusing to place a candidate in nomination against him. He was elected by practically the unanimous vote of the people, and with a little over a month to serve before being again inducted into office, he succumbs to his infirmities, leaving an honorable and praiseworthy record behind him. Mr. Scott was a veteran of the civil war, enlisting in a Wisconsin regiment in 1861 and serving until 1863. He was a member of the Masonic order, as well as of numerous other fraternal organizations. He was a genial and companionable gentleman, and his death will be mourned with widespread and sincere sorrow throughout the county. Born, on Sunday morning, to the wife of L. O. Culp of the highschool faculty, a son. It is to be regretted that the high school has decided to cancel its entertainment course, subscriptions to season tickets having fallen short the required number. Among the entertainers who were to have appeared during the series was Prof. B. R. Baumgardt, whose lecture at the auditorium last year, "An Evening with the Stars," was magnificent in every respect. The desire to hear this gifted lecturer again was so great that a number of citizens expressed themselves as in favor of inducing him to come and deliver his lecture again. The professor's subject for the new course was to have been one relating to foreign countries he had visited, for he is a great traveler. Whatever the subject, the lecture would have been well worth hearing, and we regret we shall not have the pleasure of hearing it. The Rattlesnake and Blazing Arrow patrols of the First Anaheim Troop, Boy Scouts of America, under the leadership of Scoutmaster E. B. Douglas spent the Thanksgiving holidays at Camp "Rain-in-the-Face" in the Santiago canyon. The camp POPULATION STATISTICS The United States has passed the one hundred million mark in population. Including the Philippine Islands and Porto Rico and not including Guam and part of the islands of the Samoan group, the American flag floats over a population of 103,992,757. Exclusive of the Philippine islands, Porto Rico, Guam and Samoa, but including Alaska and Hawaii, the population of the United States is 93,471,648. Ten years ago the population of the same territory was 76,303,387. It will be several weeks before the official figures will be made public by the census bureau, but there is no doubt that the foregoing figures are very close to the mark. They are based on the percentage of gain shown by the population statistics of eighteen states and territories which have been compiled officially by the census bureau. It is believed that the percentage of gain for all the states and territories will be approximately 22.5 over the census of ten years ago. A UNIQUE SOCIETY It is of interest to note that Los Angeles is the home of one of the most unique organizations in the world, there being perhaps one other, and that in London. It is an association formed to foster the Celtic spirit, to study and restore the Celtic language, to delve into the traditions, history and literature of the Celtic race, all of which are known to be rich in poetry and romance. At the club rooms will be found, comingling in warmest fellowship, those of varying political and religious faiths. Its membership embraces a bishop of the Roman Catholic church and one of the Protestant religion. A judge of the Supreme Court of California, the Mayor of Los Angeles, and many other noted persons belong. Here may be found Irishmen, Scotchmen and Welshmen, Cornishmen, Manxmen and Bretons affiliating in the most enthusiastic manner. It is the spirit of fatherland, the harking back of the soul to the time when, as one family, the Celts struggled for existence itself.

The Rattlesnake and Blazing Arrow patrols of the First Anaheim Troop, Boy Scouts of America, under the leadership of Scoutmaster E. B. Douglas spent the Thanksgiving holidays at Camp "Rain-in-the-Face" in the Santiago canyon. The camp was so named because of the rain which fell during Friday night. The boys were fairly well protected from the rain, however, by the equipment which they took along, and a vacant tent near camp. The time was spent in scouting, woodcraft games and practice in guard duty. The boys wish to thank George Ross for carrying their equipment to and from camp. The party consisted of Scoutmaster Douglas, patrol leaders Earl Spencer and Ralph Jayne, Corporals Clarence Beebe and John Spencer, and Scouts Spaethe, Imus, Howard, Whitaker, G. Whitaker and Pickering. The Boy Scouts are known because they do things and plans are being made toward organizing troops of scouts in the neighboring towns. The first county extemporaneous debate this season for the S. M. Davis silver cup will be held at Santa Ana December 16th, between Santa Ana and Anaheim high schools. The question which has been selected is, Resolved, That the standing committees of the house of representatives should be elected by the house. The respective sides will be selected by lot twenty-four hours before the debate, so there will be no memorizing the debate. The local team will be selected next week and as some of the best debaters have entered for the tryouts it is expected that the cup will be brought back to Anaheim. On Monday evening, Dec. 5, there braces a bishop of the Roman Catholic church and one of the Protestant religion. A judge of the Supreme Court of California, the Mayor of Los Angeles, and many other noted persons belong. Here may be found Irishmen, Scotchmen and Welshmen, Cornishmen, Manxmen and Bretons affiliating in the most enthusiastic manner. It is the spirit of fatherland, the harking back of the soul to the time when, as one family, the Celts struggled for existence itself. At a recent meeting of the club a pilgrimage to the Celtic countries was indorsed, under the leadership of two of its members, John S. McGroarty, editor of The West Coast Magazine, and Frank Baker, a traveler and lecturer. The pilgrimage will be made in April of next year, and it is hoped that a large party will be recruited on the Pacific coast to make the trip. He—Would you be satisfied to give up your present beautiful home and live in a little white cottage? She—I might, if there was a little red automobile hitched in front of the door. "My largest item of expense is on account of advertising." "Indeed. I was not aware that you were in business." "I'm not. But my wife reads the advertisements in the newspapers." Employer (to office boy)—If any one asks for me, I shall be back in half an hour. Patsy—Yes, sorry; and how soon will you be back if no wan asks for you? Geraldine—You haven't been to see me since you asked father for my hand. Edward—No, this is the first time I've been able to be out. Mother—I just got a letter from Ephraim sayin' as how he's took up fencin' in college. Father — Rail, stone or barb? ANAHEIM GAZETTE MISSION CAR FOR KITE Newspaper Men Guests of Santa Fe on Initial Run With forty newspapermen and eight railroad officials aboard the new mission observation car attached to a special train made its initial run around the kite-shaped track on Sunday. The party was the guest of John J. Byrne, assistant passenger traffic manager of the Santa Fe, and never in a single day of travel was there more enoyment and real solid comfort. The train left Los Angeles strictly on schedule time, 9 a.m., going by way of the new Fullerton cutoff, which is a saving of thirteen miles. At Fullerton a few minutes' wait was necessitated to pick up from the regular southbound four guests who got left at the La Grande station. Reaching Riverside at 11:30 a picture was taken of the party grouped upon and about the observation platform, after which automobiles were boarded for a visit to Rubidoux Heights, from which at an elevation of 600 feet a magnificent panoramic view of the valley was obtained. The road up and down the heights is four miles long and cost the city of Riverside upwards of $120,000. The grade are perfectly safe and are kept in excellent condition. There is one road up and another down, eliminating the possibility of accidents by meeting autos or vehicles at any of the numerous turns. After the descent a spin was taken over the famous Magnolia and Victoria drives. At 1 o'clock luncheon was enjoyed, as guests of Frank Miller at the Glenwood Mission Inn. At 1:30 o'clock the train left for San Bernardino and Redlands, stopping at the latter place to give the visitors a tally-ho GIRL DEFEATS BACHELOR Campaigns for Court Clerkship with Box of Cigars Under Arm One of the most unique elections of Missouri was in Jasper county, where Miss Della Sharp was chosen clerk of the Circuit court of the Twenty-fifth Judicial District. She had opposition in her own and the democratic party, and from the women, who fought candidates in an effort to aid the "drys." Her success was largely due to her ability as a campaigner and her record in the office, where she served twelve years as a deputy. Miss Sharp won the nomination over a man deputy by 667 majority. The democrats nominated a well-to-do farmer and a bachelor. Miss Sharp not only attended and addressed all the meetings of the republican party, but she had the support of every other candidate on the ticket. She toured the county by automobile and every morning she was to be seen emerging from her boarding house, clad in a black skirt, a dainty white shirt waist and as big a hat as was likely to keep within the bounds of approval. She distributed cards, on which were printed: "Della Sharp needs your vote on November 8 for circuit clerk." She carried with her a box of cigars. She talked to every man in the mining districts, in many instances going down shafts for a hearing. She presented lead pencils to the democrats, with the injunction, "I brought this for you to scratch your own ticket on November 8. I am sure that you would rather have an old maid in the office than an old bachelor, for he is a splendid farmer. If he gets the office, he will hire some one to run it. I have run the office so long for others, I am sure I can run it myself." THE STATE'S OIL OUTPUT Wonderful Development Indicated by Recent Statistics (Corrrespondence of the Gazette) San Francisco, Nov. 29.—The wonderful development of the petroleum industry of California is shown by advance sheets of the mineral bulletin of the state mining bureau of California for 1910. According to figures compiled by State Mineralogist Lewis E. Aubury, the 1910 production of petroleum in California will exceed in value the production of gold by $15,500,000. The following tabulation from the advance sheets of the bulletin takes no account of values, but only of the number of barrels produced between the years 1875-1909 and inclusive of both years. Prior to 1887 the figures relating to values are incomplete. This makes it impossible to give an accurate showing of the valuation of the total product from the beginning of production. The total value of the petroleum produced in the period 1887-1909, inclusive, was $136,693,228. The barrels produced each year, as reported by the producers, are as follows: | Year | Amount | | :--- | :--- | | 1875 | 175,000 | | 1876 | 12,000 | | 1877 | 13,000 | | 1878 | 15,227 | | 1879 | 19,858 | | 1880 | 40,552 | | 1881 | 99,862 | | 1882 | 128,636 | | 1883 | 142,857 | | 1884 | 262,000 | | 1885 | 325,000 | | 1886 | 377,145 | | 1887 | 678,572 | | 1888 | 690,333 | | 1889 | 303,220 | | 1890 | 307,300 | The data provided is based on historical records from San Francisco during that period. It includes numerical values for various categories such as population density (miles²), employment rates (percentage), revenue sources (petroleum production), and other economic indicators relevant to that time frame. INTERIOR VIEW OF CAR The idea of the Mission car originated with Frank Miller, and the details carried out by Jno. J. Byrne. As its name signifies, it is constructed in the mission style, both as to the interior and exterior. It is a steel-built car finished in weathered oak, with plate and stained glass windows, revolving easy chairs of oak and red leather, and all of the other facilities of the modern car. No mission hints have been overlooked even to the brass bells which surround the center lights in the main car. There is a smoking-room with seats for seven, and the main car seats thirty-eight. There is also a woman's parlor. The car was built by the Pullman company, weighs 133,000 pounds and cost $25,000. It is seventy-six ft. long and the exterior is painted in a pearl gray with gilt lines. The car was built with a view of testing its popularity. If it is well received, and there is no doubt that it will be judging from the favorable comments elicited all along the run, similar cars will be put in service on the day trains to San Diego. Two cars will be run on the kite trip daily, both leaving Los Angeles every man in the mining districts, in many instances going down shafts for a hearing. She presented lead pencils to the democrats, with the injunction, "I brought this for you to scratch your own ticket on November 8. I am sure that you would rather have an old maid in the office than an old bachelor, for he is a splendid farmer. If he gets the office, he will hire some one to run it. I have run the office so long for others, I am sure I can run it for myself." She won many democratic votes. FRUIT JOBBERS TO MEET Convention Will Assemble at Sacramento In February The Western Fruit Jobbers Association, 500 strong, together with the National League of Commission Merchants, 700 strong, and the International Apple Shippers Association, 400 strong, will be the guests of Sacramento at the convention of the former organization, February 15 to 18, 1911. This is the first convention of its kind ever held on the Pacific coast, one of the greatest fruit producing sections of the world. It is the first time a good opportunity has been afforded the growers to get in touch with the merchants who market the produce. It is an exceptionally good time for the many interested in this great industry to become acquainted, to get closer together. Besides visiting the city during the convention many of the easterners, who will be in this state for the first time, will make a thorough tour of the fruit and produce raising section—some from idle curiosity, but many for purposes of investment. THE TENDER CUCUMBER This is a busy age for the compiler, but no one has yet given the universe that anthology of the foods of earth for which every gourmand is longing. Quite an entertaining chapter could be made out of the cucumber alone. And some of the extracts would provide material for much mental exercise to decide whether they are humorous or serious. For example, what did that old Greek mean when he said of a certain woman that she was to me? More tender than a cucumber? Only one meaning would have been taken from that equivocal statement by that famous doctor who used to declare that the only way to dress a cucumber is to cut it into very thin slices, sprinkle it with the finest of every man in the mining districts, in many instances going down shafts for a hearing.

On the other hand Thackeray tells how he "had delicate cucumbers stuffed with forcemeat," while Dickens refers to "salmon, lamb, peas, innocent young potatoes, a cool salad, sliced cucumber, a tender duckling—all there." Both novelists were evidently men after the heart of the Emperor Tiberius, who was never without cucumbers, and had frames made upon wheels, by means of which the growing cucumbers could be moved about and exposed to the full heat of the sun, while in winter they were withdrawn and placed under the protection of frames glazed with mirror-stone. Yet two or three centuries ago the vegetable was looked at suspiciously as cold and treacherous, yielding "unto the body a cold nourishment, and that very little, and the same not good."

Ventura 289,625 217,219 A recent bulletin of the United States geological survey places the amount of oil in the various proved fields of California at 8,500,000,000 bar rels, an amount equal to about four times what has been produced by all of the fields of the entire country from the very beginning of the industry up to the first of the present year. This estimate does not take into account the oil that exists in those fields that are as yet only prospective, but which, when proved, will add materially to this amount. Neither does this estimate take into account the oil that exists in the territory outside of what at the time the estimate was made was considered the limits of the proved ground. Judging from present indications it seems almost certain that with a few years additional exploration and development work the amount of oil provided to exist in the fields of California will at least be doubled. The oil fields of California have been proved to be the greatest in the world. Their known extent and contents place them in a position now where it is doubtful if other fields ever will be discovered and developed that will approach them in point of possible future production. California's fabulous wealth of crude oil eclipses many fold any of her other rich gifts of nature. Her store of oil is sufficient to supply the wants of the entire world for generations and probably centuries. The United States geological survey estimates that it will take more than 2 hundred years to exhaust the amount now proved to exist in the different fields of the Golden State.

The little daisies were watched by our grandparents, who believed that spring had not come until 12 daisies were blooming on a foot of ground. The chickweeds' starry flowers tell when heavy winds or rains are coming by closing their tiny blossoms. The dandelions have the same habit. Likely the golden flowers do not want to uncover their curly heads unless they can look up to the sun. If you watch dandelions you will see that they do not open on the mornings of the days when it rains. Marigolds are such particular little blossoms that they will not even show a ray of their splendor if a storm is approaching or thunder is heard in the distance. The morning glories may wake early to beauty the garden, but when they suddenly wrap their silky scarfs about their faces you may be sure that rain is in the air. Some trees, such as the locust, close their leaves when a storm is coming. If you have a garden you might look to see what prophets are near to warn you of changes in the weather. Our grandmothers said that even peaceful old tabby knew when to expect either rain or snow. When the cat sat with her back to the fire our grandparents looked to have use for their overshoes and umbrellas. Delinquent Notice.
