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. SUBSCRIPTION.....$1.50 Per Year Six Months.....$1.00 Three Months.....50 Cts. Has the Largest Circulation NO NEW JUDGE Col. Williams seems to have slipped one over Col. Keech in the matter of Assemblyman Bishop's announcement that he will not introduce a bill in the assembly creating a second superior judgeship for Orange county. It was announced some time ago that Bishop would introduce such a bill, in response to the almost unanimous endorsement of the project by the Orange county bar. Judge West himself was quoted as favoring it, and it seemed a foregone conclusion that Col. Keech would be able to get in out of the wet and toast his shins by the fire in the new superior court room. For no lawyer in Orange county could hold a candle to Col. Keech when it came to appointment by Gov. Johnson of a man to fill the new billet. Col. Keech is capable of handling things with the best performer who ever walked, when it comes to reform, and he proved it abundantly not only in last summer's primary campaign, when he prevailed. THE YORBA RESERVOIR AGAIN Occasionally we hear, as we observed last week, of a gentleman here and there shying a brick at the Yorba reservoir. We are told it leaks, that the Tuffree reservoir has no leakage, that it cost too much money and that sort of thing. Yet at the recent annual meeting the statement was made by a gentleman who opposed its construction that it furnished water for a period of thirty days last summer to southside irrigators without taking in a drop. We believe water was run from the reservoir last summer for a period of six weeks to southside irrigators, doing away altogether with night irrigation in this region, for which it was primarily constructed. Engineer Kellogg's estimate was that the reservoir would be capable of running 200 inches of water continuously for a period of sixty days. Twice this amount was run last summer, during a period of upward of forty days, and we believe this coming summer the reservoir will measure up more nearly to the estimate placed upon it by the man who built it. Up to the 25-foot level there is little if any leakage. When water rises to a height of forty feet, there is of course some leakage. But if we mistake not, Mr. Sherwood at one time advocated building the dam ten feet higher. The Tuffree reservoir has been in use more than thirty years, and has proved a valuable adjunct to the water supply. Its use obviates the necessity for night irrigation on the northside, which is of inestimable advantage alike to irrigators and the ABERDEEN BAY Prominent South Visitors Isaac Lincoln, Aberdeen, South on Monday, in company and cousin, Miss guests of J.

For no lawyer in Orange county could hold a candle to Col. Keech when it came to appointment by Gov. Johnson of a man to fill the new billet. Col. Keech is capable of handling things with the best performer who ever walked, when it comes to reform, and he proved it abundantly not only in last summer's primary campaign, when he prevailed upon Gov. Johnson remaining in the race when that dignitary was upon the point of hiking for the woods, but he showed the boys a thing or two at the Sacramento convention, when he lined them up to the queen's taste, and made some of the lambs sick at the stomach. It was conceded that, two years hence, Col. Williams would dispute with him the nomination for the office, and the performers were to fall upon Col. Keech and smite him hip and thigh. He was to be showed a thing or two, and rightly so, for had he not broken away from the fold and been a disobedient kid? Now all this is changed. Assemblyman Bishop wheels about, and gives Col. Keech the merry haha we have all heard tell about. Mr. Bishop wishes to be state senator two years hence and Col. Williams might steer him on a sidetrack to wait for orders. But who knows what may happen in two years? THOSE ROMPING, SAUCY EDITORS Every once in a while we read in the dispatches that the editorial association of Podunk or Squirrel Hollow or some other place is off on its annual junket to the north pole in search of Dr. Cook, or to some other distant point, traveling by courtesy of the Polar railroad and its associated lines of transportation. Recently the Interstate Commerce Commission put the kibosh on these trips, and now comes Assemblyman Randall, himself a newspaper man, being editor of the Highland Park High Ball, and introduces a bill in the legislature at Sacramento, prohibiting the exchange of advertising for railroad transportation in California. At once a great wall of lamentation arises from editors throughout the state, and Randall will probably be expelled from membership in the junketers' association. These editors on their return trips carry advertising for the rest of the year to balance their accounts with the corporations. If they would little if any leakage. When water rises to a height of forty feet, there is of course some leakage. But if we mistake not, Mr. Sherwood at one time advocated building the dam ten feet higher. The Tuffree reservoir has been in use more than thirty years, and has proved a valuable adjunct to the water supply. Its use obviates the necessity for night irrigation on the northside, which is of inestimable advantage alike to irrigators and the company, for it gives them better service and brings the company additional revenue. When we consider that the Yorba reservoir may be filled by a single rainstorm such as we have recently experienced; when we consider that this flood water would otherwise run to waste—the reservoir seems to be fulfilling admirably one of the purposes of its construction. It may leak along the higher water levels, but we are of opinion that the constant deposit of silt will in time effectually care for this impediment. It has cut out night irrigation on the southside, placing irrigators here on an equality with northsiders, and we believe the time will soon come when all will agree that its construction was one of the best measures ever adopted by the water board. CURRY ON TOBOGGAN It is to be doubted if much regret will be felt at Gov. Johnson's purpose to oust Charley Curry from the office of building and loan commissioner, to which position he was appointed by Gov. Gillett upon the eve of his retirement from office some weeks ago. Curry had just filled out twelve years of service as secretary of state, and had previously held down the job of county clerk of San Francisco for a period of eight years. In the primary campaign last year Curry used the patronage of his official position to build up a personal machine supporting him in his aspirations for governor. He baited many newspapers by giving them the governor's proclamation for publication, and had at least one such supporter in every county in the state. He made a great run in the primaries, but it is doubtful if he could have been elected. Curry is a practical politician and man of large personal following. He knows the ins and outs of politics as few persons in the state. But twenty years in office ought to satiate any man except the redoubtable former secretary of state. Let him led: Lady Commander Lieut.-Com. Ninja Lady Commander ord Keeper Katteance Auditor Ma Mary Jester, Seemons, Lady at A tinel Clara Glanotte Grover.

At once a great wall of lamentation arises from editors throughout the state, and Randall will probably be expelled from membership in the junketers' association. These editors on their return trips carry advertising for the rest of the year to balance their accounts with the corporations. If they would stay at home, and charge the railroads for this great volume of advertising, they would probably have more of the wherewithal in their jeans at Christmas time. But are these joyful junkets to be expunged forever? Perish the thought. Not a bit of it. The Polar railway company has a knack of beating the devil around the stump, and Assemblyman Randall's efforts will come to naught. Let these romping, saucy editors take heart of hope. They will yet be able to enter upon these blithesome voyages, and incidentally to do gobs of railroad advertising in exchange for courtesies extended. Long live the Podunkers, and long live these happy gatherings of the editorial fraternity. Gov. Johnson has given Alden Anderson his political passports, and on Monday appointed State Treasurer Williams to be bank commissioner, at a salary of $10,000 per year. Anderson has held the position for several years, having been appointed by Gov. Gillett. He resigned the office last summer to take up his campaign for the governorship. Gillett re-appointed him, and Johnson ousted him, a b'l having passed the legislature placing Anderson on the toboggan. Take your watch and jewelry repairing to Theo. Roberts.

That worlds are born, live, pass into decay, lose their cohesive power and disappear, is a truism known of all astronomers. Thus the time will come when the moon, for instance, will be no more. The earth in turn will pass into the decadent stage, will be incapable of sustaining life, and will pass off the sphere of action. The sun will cool, become an opaque body, and in time will go on its way. Other worlds, other suns, will appear, and so the plan of the evolution of the heavens will probably go on for ages. But the Examiner's article, like so many of its screamers, is probably a fake.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE ABERDEEN BANKER HERE Prominent South Dakota Financier Visits City Isaac Lincoln, prominent banker of Aberdeen, South Dakota, was in town on Monday, in company of his wife and cousin, Miss Merrill. They were guests of J. S. Sheridan and family. They called on a number of old-time friends, among them J. B. Lavin and family, Charles Eygabroad and family, Prof. Hartroupt and family, Clarence Lecy and family, Miss Carter and Mr. Simpson, and Albert Clinton Griggs, all of them former Aberdeen neighbors. In company of W. J. Elliott they drove about the country and were so delighted that they will again visit this city. Mr. Lincoln was outspoken in praise of the valley and the glorious climate, and his former neighbors lean to the opinion that he may be induced to locate here. INSTALL OFFICERS Anaheim hive, Ladies of the Maccabees, installed officers on Tuesday evening in Masonic hall. Mrs. Kate A. Russell, district deputy of Los Angeles, acted as installing officer. The following officers were installed: Lady Commander Edna Green, Lieut.-Com. Ninia F. McCoy, Past Lady Commander Maud Walls, Record Keeper Kate M. Quarton, Finance Auditor Maud Owens, Chaplain Mary Jester, Sergeant Beatrice Clemons, Lady at Arms Anna Cook, Sentinal Clara Glanders, Picket Charlotte Grover. After the installation a banquet was enjoyed. Visitors were present from Los Angeles, Riverside and La Habra. The members are planning to entertain their State IN AND ABOUT THE CITY Jesus Garcia who kited a check on the First National bank from $14 to $24 will appear in the superior court on Friday to have his case set for trial on a charge of forgery. Garcia was before Judge West on Tuesday, and his attorney began a fight on legal technicalities. He plead not guilty. Action was filed with the county clerk this week for the dismissal of the case of the Olinda land company against the Fullerton consolidated oil company. This suit involved lease on property in the Olinda oil fields, title to which was claimed by both parties. The case has been in the courts for some time and much valuable property was involved in the litigation. A settlement of the difficulties has evidently been reached and the attorneys for the litigants filed a stipulation of dismissal. Thus is ended a case which has attracted wide attention and involved many intricate points of law. Rev. Markle was called to Los Angeles on Thursday to officiate at the burial of an old soldier, William E. Hogue, whom he knew in Illinois in war times and afterward met at many points in California. Fate seemed to throw these two old veterans together, for after leaving Illinois they met again in San Diego, Humboldt, Bakersfield and other places on the coast. They were firm friends, and what could be more natural than the clergyman should conduct the burial services of the other, who in his lifetime was a traveling salesman? The funeral was attended by many veterans of the civil war. FOR COUNTY POLYTECHNIC A committee consisting of Dr. Geo. H. Dobson, Prof. J. A. Cranston, R. P. Mitchell, V. V. Tubbs, L. A.West and S. M. Davis, appointed by the Santa Ana chamber of commerce to have charge of the matter of securing a state polytechnic school for Orange county, held a meeting on Friday afternoon in the office of S. M. Davis. At this meeting a bill was formulated which will be forwarded to Assemblyman Bishop to be introduced at the present session of the legislature.The school is to be known as the Orange county polytechnic school. The purpose of the school is to furnish to the young people of both sexes mental and manual training which will fit them for the non-professional walks of life. REAGAN—HEDGPETH Michael F. Reagan of Los Alamitos and Miss Sallie Anne Hedgepeth were married in Los Angeles on Sunday, January 29. They will be at home at the residence in Los Alamitos after February 10. The groom is a prosperous rancher of the sugar beet town and his hosts of friends wish him and his winsome bride all kinds of happiness and prosperity. DO WE LOSE A CONGRESSMAN? Washington news upsets a bunch of calculations and changes the whole situation with reference to congressional apportionment. For the republicans of the house of representatives this week decided, by a very narrow margin, to be sure, and one that may be overturned yet, that the new apportionment shall provide for no increase in the membership of the house, leaving it at 391. The theory heretofore, and the provisions of the Crumpacker bill, call for 433 members. The smaller limit will lose California one member, and not only so, but is pretty certain to make some war times and afterward met at many points in California. Fate seemed to throw these two old veterans together, for after leaving Illinois they met again in San Diego, Humboldt, Bakersfield and other places on the coast. They were firm friends, and what could be more natural than the clergyman should conduct the burial services of the other, who in his lifetime was a traveling salesman? The funeral was attended by many veterans of the civil war. Albert Davis this week received a letter from a nephew in Oregon saying that his brother Elijah had been visiting there and had left for Los Angeles to spend the winter. Mr. Davis had not seen his brother since he left him at the old homestead in Iowa 28 years ago, and immediately took steps to bring about a meeting with him. His brother does not know Mr. Davis resides here, and the latter does not know his brother's address in the Angelic City. But if it is true that where there is a will there's a way, these long-separated brothers will soon meet. Mr. Davis went to Los Angeles the first of the week and made a round of the hotels, banks and other places in an endeavor to locate his brother. Fred Schmidt, superintendent of bridge building for the Santa Fe railroad company, is engaged in rebuilding the ferry slip at San Diego. Two cars of Mr. Schmidt's construction outfit were destroyed by fire at the Dauser mill a month ago. Another construction train was temporarily relieved of duty and his outfit re-equipped. He has been at San Diego for some weeks past on the ferry-slip, which work is being done jointly for the Santa Fe and the Spreckels' shipping interests. New timbers are being placed upon the piling and the entire structure rebuilt. Mr. Schmidt comes up from the south once a week to visit his family here. His little daughter Frances is at the hospital, where she recently underwent a surgical operation for appendicitis. She is recovering nicely,and will soon be out again. Mrs. Josephine Smythe Patterson died at the residence of her mother, Mrs. J. Smythe, in Los Angeles on Friday after a lingering illness due to a complication of physical disorders. The remains were brought here on Sunday and funeral services held from the Catholic church. Deceased was aged 47 years and was a native of this city, where she spent many years during her lifetime. She was held in high esteem by all who knew her, and her death is cause for uni- TALKING IN HIS SLEEP The Anaheim Gazette must have fallen into a pessimistic mood regarding the proposed bond issue for good roads in Orange county when it stated that the project has gone a glimmering; that the question will never be put before the voters and that the preliminary work done will come to naught in view of the passage of the $18,000,000 state road bonds. Still bewailing the supposedly misfortune to Orange county, the editor casts serious doubts upon the integrity of the powers that be in expressing a fear that the proceeds of the state bond issue will have been exhausted long before it reaches this end of the state. Remembering only past grievances, the able editor of the Gazette, fails to grasp the fact that a shifting population, as shown by the recent census returns, has transferred the balance of power south of the Tehachapi, and that by standing together we are in a position to compel a fair distribution of the state road bonds, even though the northern part of the state was not disposed to treat us fairly. But preferring to take an optimistic view of the question, we are going to expect a square deal until the contrary is shown by those in authority. We are of the opinion that no discrimination will be attempted and that each county in the state will get what is coming to it.

Shirley of Huntington Beach on Tuesday called on County Clerk Williams for the three hundred dollars bail deposited by Mrs. Belle Brown of Newport Beach, as surety for her appearance in court in the booze case brought against her. After receiving the money he paid two hundred dollars of it over to County Auditor Lester as the amount of the fine assessed against Mrs. Brown, and took the remaining one hundred with him to be returned to her. Justice Shirley finned Mrs. Brown two hundred dollars in his court at Huntington Beach and the judgment of the court was sustained when the case was taken to the superior court on appeal. NOTICE. The partnership heretofore existing between Alex. Morales and Del Ramirez, in the restaurant known as the "Spanish Kitchen" has been dissolved. Del Ramirez has sold his interest to A. Morales and has retired from the business; the business will be continued by Alex. Morales. All bills due the firm will be collected by Alex. Morales. A. MORALES, DELL RAMIREZ. Mrs. Josephine Smythe Patterson died at the residence of her mother, Mrs. J. Smythe, in Los Angeles on Friday after a lingering illness due to a complication of physical disorders. The remains were brought here on Sunday and funeral services held from the Catholic church. Deceased was aged 47 years and was a native of this city, where she spent many years during her lifetime. She was held in high esteem by all who knew her, and her death is cause for universal regret. Pallbearers at the funeral were Herman Dickel, V. U. Simpson, Frank Baum, Fred Backs, Herman Backs and Adolph Rimpau. The casket was covered with many beautiful floral offerings in appreciation for the many lovable qualities of deceased. Interment was made in the family burial plot in the cemetery, and many sorrowing relatives and friends followed the remains to their last resting place. Miss Lydia Harrison, daughter of Mrs. F. C. Harrison, and granddaughter of A. H. Cargill, formerly of Brookshurst, was married at the home of her mother at Yuma, A.T., on Wednesday, February 1, to Albert John Zeller, a prominent young business man of that town. Miss Harrison spent the summer here with her mother, and at that time was the recipient of congratulations upon announcement of her engagement to Mr. Zeller. She is a petite brunette, handsome of face and figure, and the young groom has captured a capital prize in the matrimonial lottery. The newly wedded couple will make their home at Yuma, where a handsome home has been erected by the groom. Mr. Zeller came to the coast during the summer to visit his fiancée, and his sojourn was made the occasion of a round of social gatherings and theater parties. Friends here of the couple join in extending felicitations upon the happy event. J. JANSS, M.D. Physician & Surgeon 523 W.
