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 THE BATTLESHIP TEXAS Lying at the bottom of Chesapeake bay, the United States warship San Marcos, formerly the battleship Texas, is for all time out of commission in the American navy. The vessel was made a target for the guns of the battleship New Hampshire, two broadside from which riddled her as a sieve, and she sank to her doom in the waters of the bay. Despatches telling of the accuracy of the New Hampshire's gunners inform us that if the San Marcos had been an enemy the battle would have ended before it began, for at the first broadside the gallant old ship settled into the depths of her grave. So passes away the ever glorious old battleship, which swung into line at Santiago under orders of Admiral Sampson, aboard the cruiser New York, ten miles away, signalling his vessels to "Close in and engage." The world will probably never know whether Cervera's attempted escape was timed at the moment when the fleet's commander was steaming away from the blockade, but certain it is that as Sampson's ship started easterly, the Spaniards began preparations for flight, which ended in the destruction of GOOD ROADS Commission's Report Disappointing—Roads Forced on the Beach People—Orangethorpe Mad—Olive Bridge in the Quicksand—Legal Limit Exceeded—State Money Passed Up By A. A. MILLS The report of the highway commission is rather disappointing after all the work put in by the commission they submit a second report that would seem to be sure of defeat. WESTMINSTER AND TALBERT Though Westminster's friends put her to the bad at the free for all meeting by vigorous protest, she gets back on the map. The Talbert road and also the south Main St. road to Newport Beach are both in. This makes practically two parallel roads over half way to Newport Beach from Santa Ana, and this in the face of the fact that the beach people agreed that this was not necessary. ORANGETHORPE The Orangethorpe people got hamstrung. After getting petitions signed by everybody who could write in their section, and obtaining the cooperation of the whole north end of the county, they were entirely ignored. OLIVE BRIDGE The Olive bridge, too, goes by the boards. Under the specious plea that "it is necessary, first, to determine upon a channel location at this point and to do the work to hold the stream within the determined bounds, which work will be extensive and costly, and, in our opinion, more properly a part of a river improvement project," the matter is dismissed. Passed the buck up to the other tion, to present their on grazing matters, and suggestions which they to offer concerning the regulations. The proposed regulation had been drafted by the vice, were submitted to the two associations with Washington in response Wilson's invitation. To the part of Secretary Clared to be in accordance established policy of the vice in seeking cooperated bodies of stock make use of the nation ges. Secretary Wilson said the one and one-half and seven and one-half which are annually grazed rests bear an important price of beef and country, and that he increased food supplies the best interests of the try call for careful mention to promote the grazing resource. In her eration with the advisers local livestock association tributed materially to of range problems in a factory both to the lives to his department.

The world will probably never know whether Cervera's attempted escape was timed at the moment when the fleet's commander was steaming away from the blockade, but certain it is that as Sampson's ship started easterly, the Spaniards began preparations for flight, which ended in the destruction of their fleet in the Caribbean. When ten miles off Santiago Sampson was made aware of the egress of the Spaniards from their bottled-up position in Santiago bay. Perhaps it may have been Shafter's guns preparing to open fire, but naval critics aver that Sampson's temporary absence had much to do with Cervera's determination to hazard all upon the casting of a die. Obeying the signals flying from the admiral's vessel, the Texas, breaking out the signal, "Remember the Malne," was the first to fire at the flagship of the enemy. The Brooklyn, with Admiral Schley in command, the Iowa with Bob Evans, the Gloucester with Wainright on the bridge, and all the vessels on blockade, fell into line, and, in obedience to the commander's signals, engaged the enemy. At this critical juncture, the hearts of the Yankee tars were cheered by the appearance of the ever-glorious Oregon, rounding the Horn in her memorable trip, and Clarke signalling his ship ready for duty. The Texas received more shots than any other vessel, but she fought a great fight, and her shells were directly responsible for sinking at least two of the enemy's ships. The Oregon ran into the thickest of the fight, mixture of a greyhound and sea bulldog, and did valiant duty during the engagement. The Viscaya, Almirante Oquendo, Christobal Colon, and Maria Theresa, four splendid cruisers, were soon shot to pieces. They were run upon the beach afire, blackened and ruined hulks. Three torpedo boat destroyers were likewise sent to the bottom. Of the latter the Pluton and Furor engaged Wainright aboard the converted cruiser Gloucester, but he riddled them. Wainright is now a rear admiral, and in wars to come, if indeed they ever come, we took him to again distinguish himself. An Austrian battleship coming up at the moment, its commanding officer boarded the New York. The fight was over. He asked, "Where OLIVE BRIDGE The Olive bridge, too, goes by the boards. Under the specious plea that "it is necessary, first, to determine upon a channel location at this point and to do the work to hold the stream within the determined bounds. which work will be extensive and costly, and, in our opinion, more properly a part of a river improvement project," the matter is dismissed. Passed the buck up to the other fellow and left the proposition so that airships must be used to travel this good road. In striking contrast to this three bridges are provided farther down, all leading directly into Santa Ana. This latter is only a happenstance. LEGAL LIMIT EXCEEDED In asking for $1,500,000 they have exceeded the limit of the legal possibilities, as the following letter will indicate: Santa Ana, August 18, 1910. Mr. A. A. Mills, Anaheim, Calif.—Dear Sir: You ask me the following question: "Is there a limit to the amount of bonds that can legally be voted for improving highways?" Sec. 4088 of the Pol. Code provides: "Any county having an outstanding indebtedness, evidenced by bonds or warrants thereof, may refund such indebtedness and issue bonds of the county therefor, and any county may incur or refund a bonded indebtedness for any purposes for which the board of supervisors are herein authorized to expend the funds of said county, or for the purpose of building or constructing roads, bridges or highways, Provided that the total amount of bonded indebtedness shall at no time exceed five per cent of the taxable property of the county, as shown by the last equalized assessment book thereof." I believe that this answers your inquiry, respectfully yours, S. M. Davis, District Attorney. County Auditor Lester gives the assessed valuation as $30,797,532, and the present bonded indebtedness as $50,000. Now, 5 per cent of this amount is $1,529,877, which less the present bonds, leaves $1,479,877, as the limit that can now be voted. STATE MONEY No provision is made in regard to the state highway money. We stand either to lose the state money entirely or to have some $600,000 left over for the powers that be to put where they see fit. Will the taxpayers stand for this? forests seeks not only ability, to the fullest extent with proper protection forage crop, but also streamflow conditions; range itself and of for grazing privilege equity; the stockmen themselves be heard with regard established; and by security in the adjustment of tween claimants for use; the department officials task of administering is factorily has been mier. While no radical changes have been made Wilson has carefully considered modifications proposed improving the system administration. As a reference with the report stockmen's association of changes were made concerning the condition owners may surrender new application for grants. Both the department stockmen are anxiousulation in grazing privetions for minor matters;the rules offered by this end were readily felt. It is the expressed duty Wilson that they mark a step forward in organization of the national government; with these tion of the stockmen; methods which have in largest possible measurethe public from the fullest promotion ofthe stock industry with this service.

Wainright is now a rear admiral, and in wars to come, if indeed they ever come, we look to him to again distinguish himself. An Austrian battleship coming up at the moment, its commanding officer boarded the New York. The fight was over. He asked, "Where are the Spanish ships?" He was offered the admiral's glasses, and was pointed to the shore where the Spanish lay. He looked. Turning to the admiral, his face blanched with fearful astonishment, he ejaculated: "Great God Almighty." A glorious page was written in American history at Santiago. Now the Texas has gone to her long rest, crowned with the laurels of victory. Soon the Oregon must follow her, for the Oregon lies at Bremerton an obsolete and decaying warrior of the seas. How soon do these victorious units of a victorious navy pass away. A dozen years, and their day is passed. But they rank in history, and in the hearts of a grateful people, with the ships of Farragut, Decatur and John Paul Jones. Japan will quit Mexico, Washington dispatches announce, and all will be lovely as a midsummer night's dream. We don't want to fight, but by jingo, if we do, we've got the men, we've got the ships and we've got the dinero too. Or words to that effect. The Mikado assures Taft that Japan's attitude toward us is of most friendly character. And everything is lovely as the flowers that bloom in the spring. STATE MONEY No provision is made in regard to the state highway money.

STOCK ON NATION'S RANGES Washington, March 24.—The Secretary of Agriculture has approved a revised form of the grazing regulations which govern use of the national forest ranges. In the opinion of the department officers, the most important departures from the old regulations are found, first, in the fact that provision is made for recognition of a permanent national advisory board representing the sheep and cattle interests, which will confer annually with the Secretary of Agriculture concerning grazing matters; and secondly, in the laying down of a rule that on forests where the quality of range and advantages for raising cattle and sheep are equal, the yearlong rate for sheep after the season of 1911 will be thirty per cent of the yearlong rate for cattle. The new regulations have been made the subject of extended and most careful consideration and are promulgated at the present time as the result of a general revision made of all the regulations governing the use of the national forests. Before deciding on the grazing regulations, Secretary Wilson invited representatives of the two great national organizations of stockmen, the national wool growers' association and the American national live stock association.

The proposed regulations, as they had been drafted by the forest service, were submitted to delegates of the two associations who came to Washington in response to Secretary Wilson's invitation. This action on the part of Secretary Wilson is declared to be in accordance with the established policy of the forest service in seeking cooperation with organized bodies of stockmen who now make use of the national forest ranges. Secretary Wilson recognizes that the one and one-half million cattle and seven and one-half million sheep which are annually grazed on the forests bear an important relation to the price of beef and mutton in this country, and that the public need of increased food supplies no less than the best interests of the stock industry call for careful methods of regulation to promote the full use of the grazing resource. In his view, co-operation with the advisory boards of local livestock associations has contributed materially to the adjustment of range problems in a way satisfactory both to the livestock men and to his department. Regulated grazing on the national forests seeks not only to make available, to the fullest degree consistent with proper protection of the forage crop, but also to allot the streamflow conditions, the annual for-range itself and of forest growth and grazing privilege equitably. By giving the stockmen themselves a chance to be heard with regard to the rules established, and by securing their help in the adjustment of disputes between claimants for use of the range, the department officials consider the RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE Whereas, God in his almighty wisdom has seen fit to remove from our midst one of our most respected and esteemed citizens, Erwin Franklin Kellogg, and Whereas, he was a loyal supporter of the temperance cause and an honorary member of the W.C.T.U., and Whereas, this society and this community has sustained an irreparable loss by the death of this brother, Therefore be it resolved, that the W.C.T.U. of Anaheim do mourn and regret his untimely death and realize that as a promulgator of temperance his influence has been a great factor in our midst. Also be it resolved, that we express, in loving white ribbon bonds, our sympathy to the dear mother and loving sister who are members of our society; also the other members of the family, commending them to the One who said, "I will bind up your wounds and heal your broken hearts." Again be it resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of our society, a copy be sent to the mother and sister, also a copy be sent to each of the Anaheim papers for publication.

By giving the stockmen themselves a chance to be heard with regard to the rules established, and by securing their help in the adjustment of disputes between claimants for use of the range, the department officials consider the task of administering the range satisfactorily has been made much easier. While no radical changes in the regulations have been made, Secretary Wilson has carefully considered all modifications proposed with a view to improving the system of grazing administration. As a result of his conferences with the representatives of the stockmen's associations, a number of changes were made in the details concerning the conditions under which owners may surrender, transfer, or renew application for grazing privileges. Both the department and the stockmen are anxious to prevent speculation in grazing privileges, and suggestions for minor modifications of the rules, offered by the stockmen to this end, were readily accepted. It is the expressed belief of Secretary Wilson that the new regulations mark a step forward in the administration of the national forests by the government, with the hearty cooperation of the stockmen, under effective methods which have in view both the largest possible measure of service to the public from the forests and the fullest promotion of the welfare of the stock industry itself, consistent with this service. HOW TIME WAS MADE The Julian year consisted of 365 1-4 days and exceeded by 11 minutes 13.95 seconds the solar year of 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds. In consequence of this the equinox in the course of a few centuries fell back considerably. In the time of Julius Caesar it corresponded to March 25, and by the sixteenth century it had retrograded to March 11. It was at this time that a physician of Verona named Ghiraldi proposed a plan for amending the calendar. He died before he had opportunity to carry it forward, but his brother presented it to Pope Gregory XIII., who assembled a number of learned men to discuss it. It was passed upon favorably and adopted, and thus was given to the world what has since been known as the Grego- Mrs. Gertrude Foster, Mrs. M. E. Jester.
