WANTS A HOUSE CLEANING Allan Knapp Gives Views on Investment Company Santa Ana, Cal., May 24. "Dear Sir:—According to our files we note that you were a stockholder in the Home Investment Company of Anaheim, and under the terms by which this company took over the assets of your company, you were to receive ten shares of the capital stock of the Orange County Investment Company for each share held by you in the Home Investment company, upon surrender of such shares to this company. "We hold for you, subject to above conditions, and on condition that you execute receipt for same, fifty shares of stock in the Orange County Investment Company. "Having had a proposition to dispose of the assets of this company to a Los Angeles concern, we would also be pleased to have you note in your reply whether or not you would favor such plan provided reasonable conditions could be obtained. Yours truly, Orange County Investment Co. Joseph P. Smith, Secretary. Editor Gazette.—The above letter explains itself. The directors of the Orange County Investment Co. seem very anxious to have all of the Home Investment Co.'s stock transferred to the Orange County Investment Co. Should this be done it means that those stockholders are satisfied with the deal, when some are not, hence, why transfer your stock? A suit was brought against the trustees of the Home Investment Co. of Anaheim, which suit is now awaiting their pleasure. Their pleasure is to tire us out and cause us to forget our troubles. Very good. But they must answer up like little men, or throw up the sponge. Stockholders of the Home Investment Co. of Anaheim, it is up to us to make good. We asked the sale to be set aside. Now, if the trustees please let them show us why it should not be set AGAINST EQUAL SUFFRAGE Antis Give Reason Why Amendment Should Be Defeated Equal suffragists have lately had much space devoted to them in this newspaper in presenting their claims for the ballot, and now we give our readers an extract from the antis who are agin the movement. The publisher disclaims any responsibility for utterances of either side, merely giving both sides a square deal: "Don't Vote to Ruin California. Vote Against the Female Suffrage Amendment—No One can Exaggerate the Evils and Peril to the Nation of Female Franchise and Office Holding... "Under the laws of California the submission of an amendment to the Constitution giving to women equal political rights with men will be voted upon by the people at the coming election of this year. "Notwithstanding its former defeat in California, and in Oregon in 1900, 1906, 1908, and 1910, by greatly increased majorities, and in Oklahoma, South Dakota, Arizona, and Oregon again in the year 1910, and many times in many other states, and the la mentable and injurious results of female suffrage in New Zealand, Colorado, Kansas and other states, the professional suffragists, and their male adherents, intend to fasten it upon this State, with its injurious legislation, extravagancies, whims, fads and freaks; the closing of all distilleries, breweries, wineries and saloons and the making of new marriage, divorce, property and other laws, all for women's benefit; the doubling or trebling of taxes, the closing of legitimate industries, the injury to farmers, the throwing out of employment of thousands of people, and the driving out and keeping thousands from going into the State. "The public debt for New Zealand for each family is twenty-eight times greater than in the United States. Business men, husbands, fathers and relatives should not be harrassed by..." A suit was brought against the trustees of the Home Investment Co. of Anaheim, which suit is now awaiting their pleasure. Their pleasure is to tire us out and cause us to forget our troubles. Very good. But they must answer up like little men, or throw up the sponge. Stockholders of the Home Investment Co. of Anaheim, it is up to us to make good. We asked the sale to be set aside. Now, if the trustees please let them show us why it should not be set aside. The company, I believe, has been mismanaged from beginning. We have therefore began house cleaning, and have only fairly gotten started. Shall we cease the good work and let the other fellow get away with the sack? Stand firm and hold to the certificate of stock given you by the president of the Home Investment Co. of Anaheim. This is the important point at the present time. (Signed) J. Allan Knapp. Garden Grove, May 29. WOMAN FATALLY SHOT Weapon in Hands of Male Escort While on Ride to Santiago Canyon Mrs. Louise Ahendrath was shot in the head at 5 o'clock on Sunday evening and instantly killed, the weapon being in the hands of Paul Shelton, when the fatal shot was fired. Shelton, who insisted on being taken to jail immediately after the shooting says that he and the woman had taken a rig from Santa Ana for a drive to Santiago Canyon and when at a point ten miles from that city, he alighted to shoot at a squirrel. When he fired the revolver, a 32 automatic, the horse jumped and both man and woman attempted to get the lines. In the effort the revolver was again fired, the bullet causing death. John Mitchell, a rancher, arrived on the scene shortly, and Shelton asked him to accompany him to the nearest officer, where he gave himself up and asked that he be locked up. The dead woman recently came to Santa Ana from Redlands, and has been conducting a garment cutting school. She was divorced from Al Halmon in January, and has since been living under her former husband's name. Shelton, who did the killing, manifests great grief over the affair, and officials are inclined to accept his version of the shooting. Recently he has been engaged in organizing Moose lodges over the southern part of the State. The coroner's jury exonerated Shelton. NOT READY TO REPORT Highway Commission Adjourns Until Next Thursday The Highway Commission took no action on Thursday in regard to its final report and adjourned to June gislation, extravagancies, whimsies, fads and freaks; the closing of all distilleries, breweries, wineries and saloons and the making of new marriage, divorce, property and other laws, all for women's benefit; the doubling or trebling of taxes, the closing of legitimate industries, the injury to farmers, the throwing out of employment of thousands of people, and the driving out and keeping thousands from going into the State. "The public debt for New Zealand for each family is twenty-eight times greater than in the United States. Business men, husbands, fathers and relatives should not be harrassed by these injurious and preposterous demands. "But the vast body of women of America are home-loving, and sensible unless misled, and are unalterably opposed to the suffrage movement. They know that it would soon die if not kept alive by professional suffragists, and their male adherents, and they realize that the spheres of men and women are distinct and separate, and for the good of both sexes should remain so. But even if every woman in the United States wanted to vote, that certainly would be no reason why they should have the franchise. If they wanted all jails, prisons, and insane asylums emptied and the navy and army abolished, would any sane person agree to it? "The home is the bulwark of modern civilization. Anything that attacks the home attacks the nation—attacks the very source of advancement and prosperity. Woman suffrage is the natural enemy of every home, and if adopted, over every home will hang the inevitable certainty towards disintegration." "It has become the rule for the suffragists to denounce, decry and belittle the other sex," "the common enemy man," from whom they receive their support and inherited wealth, and whom their leaders say "all women secretly hate," instead of giving men unstinted praise and admiration for their self sacrifices, and benefactions, their wonderful achievements, their laws, governments, magnificent cities, railways, bridges, canals, merchant and battle ships, telephone, telegraph, wireless telegraphy, newspapers, printing, electricity, their subduing of nature, their unfolding of many of the profound mysteries of the solar and stellar universe, and myriads of other wonders. What wonderful little animals these men are to accomplish such marvelous and colossal undertakings. It is therefore, with much assurance, smug complacency, and inconsistency, that the suffragists after heaping this abuse on men who have accomplished all the wonders of the world, should demand that they surrender their just and inallienable rights to the sex which has accomplished absolutely nothing, except being the passive and often unwilling and hostile medium by which humanity is created. What can be thought of the sense and judgment of men who are willing to do this. "All that right thinking men require of women is that they must be the home makers, bear children, rear gislation, extravagancies, whimsies, fades and freaks; the closing of all distilleries, breweries, wineries and saloons and the making of new marriage, divorce, property and other laws, all for women's benefit; the doubling or trebling of taxes, the closing of legitimate industries, the injury to farmers, the throwing out of employment of thousands of people, and the driving out and keeping thousands from going into the State.

NOT READY TO REPORT Highway Commission Adjourns Until Next Thursday The Highway Commission took no action on Thursday in regard to its final report, and adjourned to June 8, at which time it is probable that the report will be adopted for filing with the Board of Supervisors. The commission had expected to decide as to the location of the east and west road across the west side toward Bay City. Former reports placed this road through Westminster Many petitioners have asked that the road be located one mile further to the south. The commission visited the section and also went over the route between Santa Ana and Newport Beach, where some changes were asked, but took no action because Engineer Halladay had not had time to secure all the data the commission had requested concerning the roads under controversy. INCORRIGIBLE GIRL Sheriff Ruddock Finds Her at Chino In Company of Mexican Sheriff Ruddock went to Chino the first of the week expecting to get Jesus Benites, who is charged with abducting Dolores Soto from Los Alamitos. Instead of Benites he found that the Chino constable had Alfredo Cortez in jail. Cortez, arrested on a description sent out by Constable Jackson, is wanted for an offense identical with the one charged against Benites. On Christmas night Cortez ran away with Ida Salazar, aged 13 years. The man had been boarding at the Salazar home near the Santa Ana sewer farm. The man and girl disappeared at the same time, and a warrant was issued by Justice Cox. All the news while it is news. The Gazette gives it first. "All that right thinking men require of women is that they must be the home makers, bear children, rear them properly, and remain in the sphere where God and nature intended them to be, and thus gain respect and love of husbands. The very fact that women are women, and men are men should be a perpetual bar to female participation in politics—this is the crux of the whole matter. The old and worn-out argument that women will purify and elevate politics and 'reform and train the men' (before beginning to reform their own sex), has been found to be a delusion, a tragedy, a joke in those states upon which it was saddled and bitterly regretted by the people, and where it has been tried and fully tested, as their deplorable political and business conditions show, with their millions of losses of money and population, and the injury to womanhood ever since the beginning of female suffrage and office holding and the days of woman political bosses. "Women are subject and susceptible to the same corrupt influences as men and cannot withstand them as well, having weaker characters and more love for money they succumb more quickly. "A great deal is said about "taxation without representation." In nearly every instance property owned by women was inherited by them from men or through men, husbands, fathers, relatives and others."

OLD PAPERS USED IN SUIT Irrigators' Fight Brings Out Ancient Documents Many interesting documents have been produced in Judge Conrey's court in Los Angeles in the suit of Orange county irrigators against alleged water diverters up the river. Musty documents worn by years of handling, many of them written in Spanish, have been submitted as evidence respecting the sale and water rights of what was known as the Santa Ana rancho. The papers form a part of the court records in the suit of Abel Stearns against Leonardo Cota, which was filed in the district court of Los Angeles county in 1867, was heard in the following two years. These papers were dug up by the litigants in the dusty archives of the courthouse, where they had lain for many years. Probably the most interesting document of the many which were used as exhibits in the action is a sheriff's sale of the Santa Ana rancho. It is dated Jan. 3, 1857. According to the document, the entire ranch, comprising thousand of acres, was sold for $1000. The document is signed by James R. Barton, who was sheriff at the time. It is in the form of a deed to the land, sold to satisfy a judgment obtained by William W. Jenkins against Jose Antonia Yorba. The land included an immense tract and took in both the present cities of Riverside and Santa Ana, the description in the document being as follows: "Bounded on the north by the land of Bernardo Yorba, on the south by the Pacific ocean, on the east by the ranch of San Joaquin, and on the west by the Santa Ana river, containing six square leagues more or less." The ranch of San Joaquin mentioned in the description extended from about the site of the present city of Tustin, near Santa Ana, south to Capistrano, while the Bernardo Yorba ranch spoken of began at about the spot where Corona now is,and Makes Home Baking Easy ROYAL BAKING POWDER Absolutely Pure The only baking powder made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar NO ALUM, NO LIME PHOSPHATE it to the South Fullerton Oil Co., articles of incorporation of which have just been filed, showing a capitalization of $1,500,000. The lease is indefinite as to the location of the proposed well. It gives the oil company a right to bore for oil at any place it wants to bore upon the Rancho Niguel, which is described as comprising 22,000 acres. The Rancho Niguel in itself is 13,000 acres, while the holdings of Moulton and the Daguerre estate comprise 22,000 acres. The oil company agrees to complete a 2000-foot well within three years. If it strikes oil right, it may select 500 acres around the well. It may enter upon any other 500 acres of the 22,000 and sink a well, and if successful secure a lease upon the 500 acres about it. When this NEW DAIRY LAW Makes Adulteration of Milk and Butter a Crime The governor has signed the Martinelli dairy bill, which is undoubtedly the most important piece of legislation for the dairy interests of the state that has ever been enacted in California. In fact, it is the opinion of many dairymen that there is no state in the union which has a more comprehensive and effective bill than this new statute. Its objects, as was explained time and time again while the bill was before the legislature, is to insure that the dairy products of California shall be pure, and that the people of this state shall receive, when they buy dairy products, exactly what they think they are buying, and what they are paying for. In a word, the Martinelli bill is a pure food law, and aims to cover the dairy interests from that standpoint completely. Of course it was bitterly fought by the interests which it affects adversely. The packers of Chicago, who make millions of pounds of imitation butter annually, fought it at every stage, and nothing is more important in the bill than the sections which provide that oleomargarine shall not be colored in any way and that it must be cities of Riverside and Santa Ana, the description in the document being as follows: "Bounded on the north by the land of Bernardo Yorba, on the south by the Pacific ocean, on the east by the ranch of San Joaquin, and on the west by the Santa Ana river, containing six square leagues more or less." The ranch of San Joaquin mentioned in the description extended from about the site of the present city of Tustin, near Santa Ana, south to Capistrano, while the Bernardo Yorba ranch spoken of began at about the spot where Corona now is, and extended north along the Santa Ana river. Another interesting document is an old thumb-worn conveyance, written in Spanish, and dated Oct. 27th, 1847, about the time General Fremont raised the first American flag in Los Angeles. The paper is a conveyance by Felipe Peralta to his brother, Pablo Peralta, of all the former's rights in the rancho Santa Ana, which had not been divided. It is signed for the grantee by Manuel Feliz. Although this document was executed in 1847, if the date on it is correct, it was not recorded until 1866, when it appears, there was affixed the signature of T. D. Mott, recorder by S. H. Mott, deputy, these two being the county officials on the last named date. Still another of the score of more interesting documents is an opinion on one phase of the proceedings signed by James F. Lander, court commissioner. The present action, which bids fair to consume the time of the court for several months, was brought by the Santa Ana River Development company against James Long and others for the litigants to the use of the waters of the Santa Ana river for irrigation purposes. BUENA PARK Frank I. Marsh passed away at the Pacific hospital in Los Angeles on Monday at two a.m. Funeral services were held on Wednesday at the Presbyterian church of Tropico. Hugh La Rue, proprietor of the Cypress Mercantile Company, reports the sale of a twenty acre ranch at Halcan station to Thomas Reeves of Los Angeles. Edward Sharkey also reports the sale of his forty acre tract near Cypress. James Watson has sold to David F. McKinney of Los Angeles ten acres east of the Park on Orangethorpe avenue. Mrs. George E. Wilcox entertained the members of the Ladies Mutual Aid Society at a miscellaneous shower in honor of Miss Lillian Robertson who is to be married the eleventh of June. Refreshments were served to about forty guests. Ray Hasson spent a few days with his parents, Dr. and Mrs. Hasson, during the past week. The remainder of his vacation will be spent in San Bernardino mountains hunting. George H. Warren and George E. Wilcox motored up to Santa Ana location of the proposed well. It gives the oil company a right to bore for oil at any place it wants to bore upon the Rancho Niguel, which is described as comprising 22,000 acres. The Rancho Niguel in itself is 13,000 acres, while the holdings of Moulton and the Daguerre estate comprise 22,000 acres. The oil company agrees to complete a 2000-foot well within three years. If it strikes oil right, it may select 500 acres around the well. It may enter upon any other 500 acres of the 22,000 and sink a well, and if successful secure a lease upon the 500 acres about it. When this 1000 acres is set off the lease covering the remainder lapses. The South Fullerton Oil Co., a San Diego concern, has signed an agreement to commence drilling before August 1, 1911. The royalty of the ranchers is one-eighth of the oil produced. DROWNED IN CANAL Aged Woman Falls in Ditch at Yorba and Loses Life Leaving the house for a time that she might not be present when a calf that she had raised was being killed, Maria Faires, aged 80, fell into the main canal of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Co. above Yorba, and was drowned. The woman is a native of Chile, and for eight years has lived at the home of Erolinda Yorba. On Sunday she got her breakfast early from D. C. Sanchez, who works on the place. There were guests present for a barbecue to be given in honor of the birthday of one of the Yorbas. It was decided to kill a calf, and as usual when there was any slaughtering to be done, the aged woman got out of hearing. Nothing more was heard of her until R. A. Buhrmann and August Lempke found her body in a gate two miles below the Yorba ranch. Mrs. Martina Balconi stated to the coroner's jury that the aged woman had been sick, and probably she tried to cross the ditch on two boards laid across it. One board gives more than the other. Bruises on the woman's face indicated that in falling she struck the cement ditch. The water is about three feet deep there. HUNTINGTON BEACH The petition for the recall of City Trustees Ed Manning and E.E. French was filed Saturday with the city clerk for verification. It contained forty-four names—two more than are required to call an election. It will be submitted to the board of trustees at their next regular meeting, which occurs on June 5th. In the petition the trustees sought to be recalled are charged with wasting the city's money, illegally purchasing oil for street use, attempting illegally to raise the salary of the city clerk, forcing changes in street grades to the detriment of the property owners and passing an ordinance raising the water rates of the city. The measures on which the recall are based were approved by other state shall receive, when they buy dairy products, exactly what they think they are buying, and what they are paying for. In a word, the Martinelli bill is a pure food law, and aims to cover the dairy interests from that standpoint completely. Of course it was bitterly fought by the interests which it affects adversely. The packers of Chicago, who make millions of pounds of imitation butter annually, fought it at every stage, and nothing is more important in the bill than the sections which provide that oleomargarine shall not be colored in any way and that it must be sold white, just as it comes from the factory. Under the federal butter law, the packers were forbidden to color their products with dyes, but they managed to evade that provision of the law by coloring the oleomargarine without dyes, but so as to effectually deceive the purchaser into thinking that he was purchasing butter. Under the Martinelli bill that will be impossible, and that man who buys oleomargarine will know that he is not buying butter, for not only will it not be colored, but if the purchase is made in a grocery or restaurant, there will be a sign hanging up announcing that "we sell oleomargarine," and each tub or firkin of the stuff will be labeled with its real name. Again, under the new law, the dairyman himself must be honest with his customers. He must not water his milk, or sell milk for cream. If he does heavy fines and possible imprisonment will be the penalty. If the confectioner sells frozen milk for ice cream he must not call it cream, but must have a sign hung up conspicuously in his store reading, "We sell ice milk." If he advertises cream it must have necessary butter fat to make it cream, and not milk only. If cream is offered for sale, it must be cream, and not milk, and must have the proper butter fat. But more important even than these regulations in the matter of health, if not of honesty, are the provisions that the dairy must not be a stable, nor a house, nor a building where human beings or animals live. The cans and utensils used by the dairy must be kept spotlessly clean and washed every time they are used and the rooms where the milk is handled and the persons and clothes of those who are handling it, must be washed with frequency, so that there shall be no dirt allowed to get into the milk. Milk must be kept covered and the cows and their udders must be washed and kept pure and clean, in fact, everything about the handling of the milk from the cow to the consumer must be clean. If it is not a heavy fine or a term in jail is provided for the offender. Dairies, which are defined as places where milk is sold and with two or more cows, must report to the inspectors of the dairy bureau and the inspectors can investigate any dairy at any time, look over the books of those dealing in oleomargarine,and keep close tab on the dairy business ofthe State. Butter must be of full weight,and Mrs. George E. Wilcox entertained the members of the Ladies Mutual Aid Society at a miscellaneous shower in honor of Miss Lillian Robertson who is to be married the eleventh of June. Refreshments were served to about forty guests. Ray Hasson spent a few days with his parents, Dr. and Mrs. Hasson, during the past week. The remainder of his vacation will be spent in the San Bernardino mountains hunting. George H. Warren and George E. Wilcox motored up to Santa Ana canyon to witness the remarkable run made by the automobile trucks during the past week. Mrs. C. H. Newcombe, assisted by her daughter, Miss Estelle Newcombe entertained Jack Martin, a member of the Ferris Hartman Company, and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Martin, of Los Angeles on Sunday. In the evening the entire party motorized to Santa Ana to witness the performance of "The Toymaker" given by the Ferris Hartman Company in that city. BORING FOR OIL IN NEW FIELD Company Organized to Exploit Land on Rancho Niguel Plans have been made and a lease given for the putting down of an oil well on the Rancho Niguel west of El Toro. Should the well prove successful, a new oil field will be opened up for Orange County. Plans for this work have been on foot for the greater part of a year. On October 21, 1910, L. F. Moulton and J. P. Daguerre, partners, gave an oil lease to W. T. Brown and W. J. Traverse of Fullerton. On April 27 this lease was transferred by Brown and Traverse to E. G. Dehm, F. E. Wisecup and A. W. Brown of San Diego, who immediately transferred four names—two more than are required to call an election. It will be submitted to the board of trustees at their next regular meeting, which occurs on June 5th. In the petition the trustees sought to be recalled are charged with wasting the city's money, illegally purchasing oil for street use, attempting illegally to raise the salary of the city clerk, forcing changes in street grades to the detriment of the property owners and passing an ordinance raising the water rates of the city. The measures on which the recall are based were approved by other trustees besides Manning and French and, in fact, include all the members of the board, as all the measures received a majority vote. Trustees Seely, Helme and Stewart all voted for one or another of them. A curious feature of the petition is that it includes pro-saloon and anti-saloon men, although both Manning and French voted for the liquor license at one time; members of local churches and men of questionable character as well; and men who openly declare that though they signed the petition for the recall they will vote again for one of the trustees sought to be recalled. No other subject is now discussed, as the recall is considered by many as a prelude to disincorporation, if successful.

The vote stood: For the bonds, 209; against, 213. Two-thirds was necessary to carry, and the bonds lacked 145. The defeat was due principally to the fact that there was no organized effort to fight for the bonds. The vote by districts was: Orange—for 135, against 180. El Modena—for 45, against 1.
