Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. HAS THE LARGEST CIRCULATION AN AMUSING LITTLE CUSS. The dinky little Garden Grove Doughnut, which worked itself into a sweat Kotowing to west-side incorporators, and is now rewarded by being designated the official organ of the new town, publishes a labor-ed article, under the heading "They Swallowed the Bait," in its last issue, subscribing to the assertion that Phil Stanton did not offer this city land for sewer-farm purposes at Brookshurst, within the incorporation of the town of Stanton, and adding, by way of good measure, that the Gazette's references to that gentleman have been characterized by spleen, and injustice. The dinky little Doughnut is a funny little cuss. Not only did Stanton offer this city land at Brookshurst, at $300 per acre, as we shall show, but our references to him, as well as to all others interested in the new incorporation, have been characterized by a square deal from start to finish. We informed these gentlemen long ago that it mattered not the snap of one's finger to us whether they in- The Gazette was the only paper in the county which handled these two meetings adequately and with strict impartiality to both sides. The Doughnut was not represented, nor did it refer to the contest except to cringe and fawn before the incorporators after the meetings were over. The Gazette printed all the letters written by E. K. Muller, Rev. C. W. Shumway, the Magnolia Improvement association and others in support of incorporators. The Doughnut did not. It comes in strong at the finish, however, and tries to earn its salary. The Doughnut continues: "The Gazette's absurd story that Stanton is offering to sell 100 acres near Brookshurst, and within the newly incorporated city, to Anaheim for sewer purposes, is hardly worthy of denial. There is nothing to it, whatever. He refused to sell the land to the city when the trustees several weeks ago indicated their desire to buy it, the possibility of such a deal having been suggested to them as a bait to show up their insincerity toward some of his neighbors who were opposing incorporation after they had been assured that the sewer farm would not be located near their homes. There was a quick change of their attitude when they observed the disposition of the city to 'throw them down.' Mr. Stanton stated to them and to the representatives of the city that he would sell no land for a sewer farm except with the approval of his neighbors owning property in the neighborhood adjoining it. He did not expect such approval, and there was in fact no intention ding, by way of good measure, that the Gazette's references to that gentleman have been characterized by spleen, and injustice.

We informed these gentlemen long ago that it mattered not the snap of one's finger to us whether they incorporated or not, and that the attitude of this paper to them would be square through the controversy. Such it has been. The Gazette was the only paper in the county represented at the two days' proceedings before the supervisors two months ago, when the initial proceedings were up for consideration, and much bitterness manifested on both sides. We have yet to find a man, either in this city or at Stanton, who will make the statement that our articles dealing with those two meetings were not truthful in every detail and square from beginning to end. On the contrary, we have been personally assured from men interested in both sides of the controversy, that our articles gave each side absolutely a square deal. Such was the aim of this paper, such is its aim at present and such will it continue to be to the end.

There was a quick change of their attitude when they observed the disposition of the city to 'throw them down.' Mr. Stanton stated to them and to the representatives of the city that he would sell no land for a sewer farm except with the approval of his neighbors owning property in the neighborhood adjoining it. He did not expect such approval, and there was in fact no intention of selling the land to the city, but advantage was taken of the opportunity which circumstances afforded to show up the city's insincerity, and to bring out the admission which was promptly made by those opposed to the incorporation that a sewer farm is not desired in their own neighborhood. But the Anaheimers having swallowed the bait, hook and all, and being unable to get away with the line and pole as well, are naturally suffering some pain in their internal regions and endeavoring to relieve their embarrassment in the usual way." We repeat that Phil Stanton did offer 100 acres of land at Brookshurst, or any part thereof, at $300 per acre, for sewer-farm purposes. In justice to him, it should be stated, as we observed at the time, that the offer was conditioned upon non-objection of his neighbors at that point. On May 12 members of the city council, and other city officials met Stanton at Brookshurst. Probably fifty people were present, and such decided opposition was manifested that Stanton's offer was declined. City Engineer Steward informed Stanton that if his site were purchased it would be necessary to pump sewage to that point. It is late in the day to talk about swallowing bait. That Stanton was really desirous of selling this land, which is suited for no other purpose, is perfectly well understood in this city. No criticism was made of him in this paper for his offer. The fact was merely stated. Whatever construction might have been placed upon it by others had nothing to do with us. The dinky little Doughnut may be earning its salary, but it is an amusing little cuss, just the same.

The fact that nearly all men at some time were stamp collectors is said to account for the popularity of the official stamp collection of the United States postoffice department maintained in connection with the postal museum in Washington. Postoffice department officials say 100,000 men call every year to see the museum-stamp collection. The postoffice department museum is full of interesting objects. It contains almost everything from a lock of Charles Gulteau's hair to models of the big battleships of the navy, but by far its most interesting feature, according to the officials in charge, is the stamp collection. Few visitors miss that sight, and many "hobbyists" spend hours poring over it. Uncle Sam as a stamp collector is a most signal success. He not only has a complete set of his own stamps, but a complete collection from every other stamp issuing country in the civilized world as well. His collection is valued by the department at $200,000, but stamp dealers say it would demand a figure many times that sum if placed on the open market for sale. The fact that Uncle Sam's stamp collection is absolutely complete is a statement difficult to comprehend, even to those who have been collectors themselves. Most of those who were collectors in years gone by will remember how many empty places there were in their albums when they glied in the possession of 1,500 and 2,000 specimens. They will recall how many new varieties above the 2,000 mark cost from $5 to $50 each; also the small fortunes placed on some of the specially rare specimens, the kind which the dealers' catalogues related.

Fossek was awakened on Sunday morning by a Mexican who had spent the night on a lounge on his front porch. The Mexican asked for the return of his shoes, hat, money, and watch. Investigation showed he had been robbed during the night while under the influence of liquor. He had been with a party of Mexicans, who it is thought relieved him of those articles. Mr. Fossek fitted him out with a pair of shoes and a hat, and the palsano went on his way rejoicing. Mr. Fossek heard his dog bark during the night, but thinking nothing of it did not go outside to see what the trouble was. The man had been robbed and taken to the Fossek home and placed on the porch for the night... Rosario Salz, the Mexican desperado, now on trial in the superior court on a charge of murdering Jose Machado near Sunset Beach on September 22, 1909, heard the first of the testimony against him on Tuesday. The two first witnesses were C. R.Schenck and Theo. Lacy, former county surveyor and sheriff. Lacy was the first officer to arrive at the sheep camp where Machado was shot. The Mexicans who were present tell the story that Salz fired from the dark at a distance of 100 yards, and killed Machado, against whom he had no enmity, as Machado stood beneath a tule shelter near a camp. On the jury are A. G. Lucas, T. Billings, I. W. Fisher, R. B. Wardlow, J. O.Burk... The fact that Uncle Sam's stamp collection is absolutely complete is a statement difficult to comprehend, even to those who have been collectors themselves. Most of those who were collectors in years gone by will remember how many empty places there were in their albums when they gloried in the possession of 1,500 and 2,000 specimens. They will recall how many new varieties above the 2,000 mark cost from $5 to $50 each; also the small fortunes placed on some of the specially rare specimens, the kind which the dealers' catalogues related had been printed only to the number of 100 or so and but six or seven were known to be in existence. Well, Uncle Sam's stamp collection possesses all of these, besides the thousands of common kinds. Although it has taken hard work, many years and a tidy fortune to do it, the collection today stands absolutely complete. The only varieties yet to be added are those yet to be issued.—Baltimore American. A JUGGLER'S TRICK. Clever Feat of Illusion Performed by an East Indian. A retired naval official who served long in the east says the feats of the East Indian jugglers are wonderful. He cites one. While he was an officer on board a P. and O. steamship two natives came aboard at Madras, he says. They were a juggler and his assistant. After they had performed a number of minor feats and had gathered quite a crowd around them they called for a sack and a piece of sailcloth. These having been provided, the chief juggler made a small tentlike structure with the canvas and some stools. He then placed his assistant in the sack and allowed a sailor to tie the knot which bound him a fast prisoner. This done, the chief carried the sack into an open space, warning the people to stand back some distance, and then carried on an animated conversation with his assistant, whose replies could be distinctly heard coming from the sack. Suddenly the chief rushed forward, picked up the sack and dumped it overboard, where, to the horror of the passengers and crew, it sank out of sight. Immediately the captain rushed forward and seized the man under the full belief that he had murdered his companion, but the juggler only smiled and pointing to the canvas, asked that it be raised. This was done, and the supposed drowned man was discovered squatting on the deck. So realistic had been the throwing overboard, however, that it was some time before the surprised passengers could realize a murder had not been committed. How a Bird Dresses.

NO NEED FOR "DEFICIENCY" TAX SACRAMENTO, June 12. — The state treasury is to be enriched about $1,200,000 beyond normal through taxes derived from the corporations through the working of constitutional amendment No. 1 and the Curtin act. The state board of equalization has announced that the total of taxes on corporations this year will be $10,175,000. The S.P. class of the M.E.

Lewis—very pleasantly entertained the Four Four club Wednesday evening at their home on East Broadway, progressive whist being the feature. The ladies' prize, hand-painted china plates, was won by Mrs. Melrose, and the gentleman's prize, a pair of game shears, was won by Fred Backs. The next meeting of the club will be at the home of Mrs. Melrose. In another part of this issue will be found financial statements of the First National, German-American and American Savings banks. Each makes a very flattering showing, deposits running up to high-water mark. Their sound condition attests not only their conservative and business-like management, but is also an adequate reflex of the prosperous state of affairs in the community. J. B. Rea went to Pomona Tuesday to look over points of interest in the upper valley. The coroner's investigation in the case of Andrew Goetze, the old man who was found dead in his bed at his home in this city one day last week, discovered nothing of an unusual nature, the death having apparently occurred from natural causes. The man lived with his son, and the burial was held the day following the coroner's inquest. Deceased was 79 years of age.

As bird fashions do not change, two suits a year are quite enough for most birds, but they need to take great care of them. Each separate feather must be cleaned and looked over and the useless ones pulled out. These feathers are not packed close together, you know, but ile loose and have places between filled with air. When a bird wants to get warmer he lifts his feathers so that these air spaces may be larger. But if his feathers are tangled or wet and dirty he could not raise them, and soon he could not keep the head in his little body and would, of course, die. Cutting It Short. "How long can you stay?" asked a hostess who had received an unexpected visitor coolly. "No longer than I can help," was the crisp reply.

NO NEED FOR "DEFICIENCY" TAX SACRAMENTO, June 12. — The state treasury is to be enriched about $1,200,000 beyond normal through taxes derived from the corporations through the working of constitutional amendment No. 1 and the Curtin act. The state board of equalization has announced that the total of taxes on corporations this year will be $10,175,000. This amount of revenue to be derived by the state from taxing the corporations so exceeds all previous estimates that the board says today in an official statement: "This fact seems to assure the support of the state government for the next year without the necessity of resorting to a deficiency tax." In addition to this amount, the state will also derive a further revenue of several million dollars from its receipts from poll taxes, inheritance taxes, corporation licenses,the fees and other collections, some of these being in excess of the estimates made during the session of the last legislature. ELECTION OF SENATORS Direct-Vote Amendment to Constitution Adopted WASHINGTON, June 13.—The senate last night by a vote of sixty-four to twenty-four passed the resolution amending the constitution to provide election of senators by direct popular vote.
