The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor The Gazette is issued every Thursday morning. Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. Has the Largest Circulation FRUIT SHIPPED VIA PANAMA Telegraphic information from New York announces the success of the first water shipment of California citrus fruits to New York. Prominent fruit men in Southern California who read the details of the outcome of the test shipment declare that the success of water and rail shipments by way of the Isthmus of Panama is assured. The carload of oranges and lemons, constituting the test shipment, went over the route under most unfavorable conditions and with crude handling with the result that there was only 7 per cent decay in the oranges and 5 per cent in the lemons. The fruit sold for a good price in New York. The shipment was delayed three days at San Pedro because of the non-arrival of the steamer. It was again delayed by the enormous government traffic on the Panama railroad on account of the canal work. At Colon it was packed deep into the hold of a steamer and the ventilation completely cut off during the long voyage to New York. With the crude handling remedied, it is believable that Mrs. Miller will ask large amounts from Santa Ana Mill. The Southern California Sugar Co. of Santa Ana is to be made defendant in a suit for $25,000 damages as the result of the death of an employee, James M. Miller, on August 11, 1910. Mrs. Martha Miller, widow of deceased, has petitioned the superior court for letters of administration upon the estate of her husband. When these letters are granted, suit will be begun against the sugar company. BORREGO SEEKS PAROLE Los Alamitos Mexican Wants Out of State Prison Rafael Borrego, who is in San Quentin under a sentence of seven years for the killing of Juan Orosco at Los Alamitos in the summer of 1907, intends to apply to the state board of prison directors to be paroled. Borrego was tried three times. On the first trial he was found guilty of manslaughter, and was sentenced to ten years, the limit. The judgment was reversed. The second jury disagreed. The third jury found him guilty of manslaughter, with a mercy recommendation. Judge West put the sentence at seven years. He went to prison in July, 1908. Orosco and Borrego had a row during a dance given by Orosco. Borrego fired a shot into the air outside the dance hall and when Orosco came forth Borrego sent a bullet through the officer's heart.

It was again delayed by the enormous government traffic on the Panama railroad on account of the canal work. At Colon it was packed deep into the hold of a steamer and the ventilation completely cut off during the long voyage to New York. With the crude handling remedied, it is believed the Panama route with its cheaper rates will be the favored one of the future unless the railroads will make sweeping reductions in their traffics. The TriCounties Freight Rate Bureau is making preparations to file a complaint with the Interstate commerce commission in an effort to secure just freight rates for points in San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange counties. This determination has been reached as the result of a conference attended by members of the bureau and traffic officials in Los Angeles. The delegates attended the conference at the request of the railroad officials, but as the latter showed no disposition willingly to make rate concessions, the bureau will waste no more time in preliminaries but will file its complaint with the commission immediately. LASSEN NATIONAL FOREST The president has signed a proclamation eliminating 6107 acres from the Lassen national forest, California, and adding 36,709 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 lands either covered with brush or so heavily alienated as to render national forest administration impracticable. The additions comprise the lands found upon examination to be covered with a good stand of timber and to be chiefly valuable for national forest purposes. The largest addition is adjacent to the extreme northeast corner of the forest, west and northwest from Sheephead valley and about eight miles south of Haydenhill. An addition also is made covering the area adjacent to the Deer creek meadows and Soldier meadows in the south central part of the forest and crossed from east to west by the old Lassen trail. Several other additions are made of small areas found upon examination to contain sufficient stands of timber. MEXICAN CUTTING SCRAPE Domingo Silvas, charged with assault with intent to murder Louis Valenzuela, near Garden Grove, on Sunday night by slashing him with a beet knife and cutting his ear, was arrested on Monday and placed in the county jail. He had a hearing before the Santa Ana township court, and date of his preliminary examination was set for Saturday morning at 10. Ball was fixed at $1500 and in default of bonds Silvas went to jail. GRAPES IN COLD STORAGE Fresno, Cal., Jan. 17.—A large number of vineyardists gathered at a local ice plant to view a quantity of cold storage grapes which had been kept on the ice for 365 days. The grapes were in perfect condition and as solid as if just picked from vines. The experiment was conducted by C.W. Mann, representing the United States department of agriculture. In an interview Mr. Mann said that cold storage grapes will in time take the place of grapes now imported to America from Spain, Italy and France. DRASTIC RAILROAD BILL Measure Introduced in Legislature Sweeping in Provisions A railroad commission bill, designed to give greater power over railroads of all sorts than is conferred by any state law known to be in existence, has been introduced in both branches of the legislature as an administration measure. There is little doubt but it will be passed without any substantial amendment, as no great opposition at present is expected. The belief is equally strong that it will be tested at every point in the courts. The bill confers additional powers on the railroad commission established by the constitution of California, already in existence. Among the provisions is the power to establish an initiative commission with power to actually fix freight and passenger transportation rates. The present commission may fix the maximum rates.

"All the armies of Europe, Asia, and Africa combined," said he to an Illinois audience, "with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest, with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force take a drink from the Ohio or make a track on the Blue Ridge in a trial of a thousand years." By the way, isn't Col. Coulter entitled to his cut of the Johnson ta-male pie? Did he not burn up gasoline in keeping up with the cavalcade of reformists on their first appearance in Orange county a year or so ago, and was he not a shouter in the cause until the chill winds of August nipped him in the bud? Sure he did; sure he was. We suggest that his work for reform be rewarded by appointment as collector of the port of Tomato Springs. Meanwhile, the question arises, when was Mr. Spalding? The bill confers additional powers on the railroad commission established by the constitution of California, already in existence. Among the provisions is the power to establish an initiative commission with power to actually fix freight and passenger transportation rates. The present commission may fix the maximum rates. Discrimination in rates is provided against, while there are some unimportant exceptions as to the issuance of passes, free transportation is prohibited, being considered one form of discrimination. The power to classify freight and establish all through rates, prescribe joint rates, and the divisions thereof, and to apportion the cost of construction; the right to install a system of bookkeeping and accounting on all roads; free access at any time to all records; the power to make a physical valuation of railroad property, including wages and salaries of employees, costs of maintenance and construction, are all included. No appeal from the commission's decisions is provided, although it is understood any man or corporation may make an appeal against the rulings which he holds are confiscatory. A message from Governor Johnson followed the bill. He cited instances of existing railroad rates, beside which the message said no other demonstration was necessary, in "behalf of any measure designed to afford the people relief from the extortion of transportation companies." Effective Jan. 15th a new schedule will go into effect on the Santa Fe and trains will pass Anaheim as follows, north bound: 6.18 am, 7.26 am, 11.57 am, 3.27 pm, 4.20pm, 5.40 pm., daily, and at 9.38 pm Sunday only.

BRIEF LOCAL NEWS ITEMS Mrs. H. V. Weisel underwent a surgical operation for appendicitis at the Good Samaritan hospital in Los Angeles on Saturday. Mrs. Weisel has been seriously ill for some time past, and an operation was determined upon. Reports from her bedside yesterday were that her condition showed improvement, and great hopes are entertained for her recovery. Rev. Markle will on Sunday exchange pulpits with Rev. R. M. Bailey of the Artesia Christian church.

At the meeting of the board of directors of the Newbert protection district, bonds of the district aggregating $18,130 were sold on Saturday. The directors concluded to sell more bonds, and Feb. 6 at 10 o'clock was set as the time for opening bids. Each of the bonds is for $370 and bears 6 per cent interest. Forty-nine bonds were sold Saturday, two to J. O. Burbank, twelve to John Cubbon and 5 t30 A. J. Visel. The long drawn out case of the state of Virginia against the state of West Virginia is on the docket of the supreme court of the United States for hearing this week.

Mathewson, with whom Dowell had a deal to sell 26 acres at Orange for $17,000. The complaint states that on Sept. 20 the agreement to sell was given to Dowell. Of the $17,000 the sum of $2000 has been paid. The defendants refuse to make the next payment of $6000, and have refused to sign notes for the remainder of the $15,000. The complaint states that the defendants by reason of neglect allowed a $60 cow to die and a $15.60 S.A.V.I.Co. assessment to go delinquent, that the place needs cultivation and irrigation. The court is asked to order the defendants to execute the notes and mortgages, or give up possession. A court order is asked for restraining the defendants from selling or injuring the property. ADMITTED TO CITIZENSHIP Dr. William Harold Wickett of Anaheim is now a citizen of the United States. He received his final papers on Tuesday after he had been questioned by Judge West as to his knowledge of the fundamental principles of American government. Dr. Wickett was born in Canada and can be to the United States on Sept. 26, 1903. The petition of August Mundt for final papers was transferred to Arizona, where Mundt, formerly of Ana- Bears 6 per cent interest. Forty-nine bonds were sold Saturday, two to J. O. Burbank, twelve to John Cubbon and 5 t30 A. J. Visel. The long drawn out case of the state of Virginia against the state of West Virginia is on the docket of the supreme court of the United States for hearing this week. The case originated in the question of the division of the public debt of the Old Dominion at the time of the separation of the western counties and the formation of the state of West Virginia. The dispute involves about $33,000,000 and has been dragging through courts more than 35 years. Alex Henry was there with the goods in his highland dances at the Pythian installation of officers on Wednesday evening of last week. Attired in his kiltle suit, he performed the highland fling in its various evolutions to the delight of the large audience in attendance. He was heartily congratulated for his cleverness, and was tendered an invitation to appear before other lodges. Judge Hart asked him to come to Sacramento, and Judge Bledsoe said San Bernardino would never be satisfied until they saw him dance. He promised to pay them a visit in the near future, and will show them what a real highland fling dancer in costume looks like. Odd Fellows hall was crowded on Wednesday evening of last week at the installation of newly elected officers of the Knights of Pythias. Judge Hart of Sacramento and Judge Bledsoe of San Bernardino were present and made addresses along fraternal lines. A vocal and instrumental musical program was rendered, which was greatly enjoyed. A feature of the evening was the presentation to R. Melrose, past chancellor commander, of a gold watch and fob, the timepiece being suitably inscribed. The presentation speech was made by Col. Royer in felicitous phrase, and Mr. Melrose responded, thanking the lodge for its gift. Freshments were served and at a late hour the meeting dispersed. Buster Brown must have considered Anaheim a wide-awake town, judging by the blockaded street in front of Falkenstein's store on Monday afternoon. Kids by hundreds thronged about him in a noisy demonstration and gave him welcome. He was accompanied by his mother and Tiger; From a platform erected in front of the store's entrance he addressed the youngsters, sang to them and told them stories. The crowd was not limited to the children, for grown-ups present in large number Buster Dr. William Harold Wickett of Anaheim is now a citizen of the United States. He received his final papers on Tuesday after he had been questioned by Judge West as to his knowledge of the fundamental principles of American government. Dr. Wickett was born in Canada and came to the United States on Sept. 26,1903. The petition of August Mundt for final papers was transferred to Arizona, where Mundt, formerly of Anaheim, now lives. The petitions of Richard Defaur of Newhope, Conrad Oehlke of Orange, Albert Knuth of Orange and Robert Westlake of Santa Ana were continued.

Severally subscribed and sworn to by both Buster Brown must have considered Anaheim a wide awake town, judging by the blockaded street in front of Falkenstein's store on Monday afternoon. Kids by hundreds thronged about him in a noisy demonstration and gave him welcome. He was accompanied by his mother and Tige; From a platform erected in front of the store's entrance he addressed the youngsters, sang to them and told them stories. The crowd was not limited to the children, for grown-ups were present in large number. Buster proved a popular favorite, and the kids declare he was the best little fellow they ever saw. The store and sidewalks in front, as well as Center street, was blockaded, and such a happy crowd of youngsters was never exceeded in joyous enthusiasm. Buster came all the way from New Orleans, making his first stop at Falkenstein's store, and in the evening left for San Bernardino. Alex Wright, chairman of the board of audit, said yesterday that except for a few odds and ends, the board is ready to make its annual report to stockholders. Mr. Wright says regarding the books of Secretary Armstrong that they are in better condition than those of any former secretary of the company, being posted to the minute, and models of neatness and exactitude. Mr. Wright is an expert accountant, and is by nature critical of systems of bookkeeping, and it is a rarity to hear him so refer to the secretary's books. Armstrong's friends declare he has offered no bribe to the board of audit chairman and that the latter's encomiums of praise are purely on merit. Whereat stockholders of the company are to be congratulated. It is even said the forthcoming report will give Armstrong a bit of favorable comment for his work, something unheard of in the annals of the company. Usually (but not always) the board of audit gets after the secretary with a big stick. A Sheet Music Sale like that we are conducting isn't often possible.
