Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. WE SHOULD RATHER THINK NOT How goes it with the overburdened taxpayer? Are his taxes so light, what with the $18,000,000 state road bonds, the $5,000,000 direct taxes voted last year for the fair, and other burdens near and prospective, does he feel like viewing with equanimity additional taxes for the fair to the amount of $87,000 the coming year? With railroads and other great corporations absolved from this tax, does the taxpayer feel justified in assuming this burden? We should rather think not. We doubt if the Orange county board of supervisors will include this levy in its call for the coming year's taxes, but if the board should do so, the tax should be defeated. Let San Francisco finance its own exposition. The state has already voted $5,000,000 direct taxes in support of the fair. These taxes will be gathered from the people in four installments of $1,250,000 each, and Orange county will be compelled to assume a large portion of this amount. TWO CEREMONIES TO TIE KNOT Complications Which Beset Los Angeles Couple Resolved to Wed It took two ceremonies to get Bert Theodore Wilkie of Los Angeles and Sadie Whelchel of Long Beach thoroughly married. The second of the two ceremonies was performed Monday by Justice Cox of Santa Ana,and his ceremony was the one that really counted. The first ceremony—the one that does not count—was performed by Rev. Robert Renison, rector of St. Marks Episcopal church of Los Angeles. On June 18 the marriage license was issued in this county.Wilkie gave the ages as 27 and 22. Not knowing that a marriage license can be legally used only in the county in which it is issued the couple went to Rev. Renison of Los Angeles, and asked that he marry them Rev. Renison was also ignorant of the geographical limitations of a marriage license, and he performed the ceremony and pronounced the couple man and wife. He sent the certificate to the county recorder of Los Angeles county to be recorded, and it was never recorded, for the recorder was not ignorant of the aforesaid geographical limitations. Not receiving the certificate as expected, Wilkie made inquiries, and was suddenly faced with the truth. He was not married. Gathering up the license and the woman he had thought was his wife, Wilkie took a car to Santa Ana, and hunted out Justice Cox. A typewriter was put into commission and soon a certificate was glued tight and fast to the license, and Justice Cox with offer of $5 reward for conviction of anyone in state law regulating motor vehicles and the case by them at night.. "of rewards is thought rary. The supervisor sheriff a leave of absence state, and since all must receive his O.K. orors thought it best to for the present.

It aln't go We doubt if the Orange county board of supervisors will include this levy in its call for the coming year's taxes, but if the board should do so, the tax should be defeated. Let San Francisco finance its own exposition. The state has already voted $5,000,000 direct taxes in support of the fair. These taxes will be gathered from the people in four installments of $1,250,000 each, and Orange county will be compelled to assume a large portion of this amount. Moreover the state will be called upon to erect a $1,000,000 building at the exposition. This additional tax of $87,000 does not look good to us. Does the overburdened taxpayer look with favor upon it? We should rather think not. ENDORSE CLARKE FOR HORTICULTURAL COMMISSIONER The Pajaro Valley orchardists association at a recent meeting held at Watsonville adopted the following resolutions endorsing W. T. Clarke for state horticultural commissioner, to succeed J. W. Jeffrey, who will soon retire: To the Honorable Hiram W. Johnson, Governor of California: In the matter of the appointment of a state commissioner of horticulture to succeed J. W. Jeffrey, the Pajaro valley orchardists association beg leave to submit the following: Representing as we do the largest deciduous fruit shipping point in California, we are therefore vitally interested in the selection of a thoroughly qualified state commissioner of horticulture. The broad scope of the work falling to the duties of that officer require the selection of an especially qualified man. He should possess in a high degree scientific training, executive ability, and wide experience, and diplomacy. The matter of scientific training should be paramount to all other considerations. In his work he is constantly confronted with new problems in the matter of control of pests and diseases, and also the various other exigencies of modern horticulture and agriculture. Lacking this training the most efficient methods cannot be expected. In this connection we beg to call your attention to the fact that in the past this lack of scientific training has been painfully apparent, and to the detriment of the fruit industries of this state. The dignity of this office cannot be maintained without this necessary pre-requisite. He should have the ability to organize his office and conduct same it was never recorded, for the recorder was not ignorant of the aforesaid geographical limitations. Not receiving the certificate as expected, Wilkie made inquiries, and was suddenly faced with the truth. He was not married. Gathering up the license and the woman he had thought was his wife, Wilkie took a car to Santa Ana, and hunted out Justice Cox. A typewriter was put into commission and soon a certificate was glued tight and fast to the license, and Justice Cox with J. C. Burke and J. C. Alcorn, the latter the new justice of the peace of Stanton township, as witnesses, the marriage knot was tied. AMOUNT OF INTELLIGENCE NEEDED James Hamilton Lewis, attorney-at-law and demonstrator of plink whiskers as successful facial adornments, became annoyed by continual questioning of a newspaper reporter who wanted to find out something new about a case in which Lewis was interested. "Why," exclaimed Lewis curtly, "you evidently know more about this case than I do. You apparently have more sense than I have." "I have to," responded the reporter, "in order to hold my job." This amused Lewis so much that he gave the newspaper man all the information he wanted. FOREIGNERS FROM MISSOURI W. G. Hall, formerly of Missouri, has a number of Japanese boys at work on his ranch near Azusa, and recently he brought a number of young men from his native state for that purpose. The orientals sized up the situation, and one day one of them naively remarked: "Jap boy come to America, take him long time to speak English; the Missouri boy he come, talk English right away." PREFERRED HIS MOTHER A Pasadena small boy was very much troubled in his conscience as to whether he would go to heaven or not, and on confiding his fears to his mother was told the various things that good little boys were expected to do and be. After thinking it all over the task seemed too great for accomplishment, and he was in a state of deep dejection until a happy thought struck him and he exclaimed: "Oh, I'll tell you what, mother, you just come along and go to hell with me; it won't be half as bad as they say it is if you are..."

Then load of onions in Oran "Come down to m will show you three finest onions you ever Sale of a carload w effected, and the rest probably be marketed Mr. Horton is set..." diseases, and also the various other exigencies of modern horticulture and agriculture. Lacking this training the most efficient methods cannot be expected. In this connection we beg to call your attention to the fact that in the past this lack of scientific training has been painfully apparent; and to the detriment of the fruit industries of this state. The dignity of this office cannot be maintained without this necessary pre-requisite. He should have the ability to organize his office and conduct same in a business-like manner. Intimate familiarity with the state and its varied horticultural interests is necessary in order to give intelligent advice. The necessity of diplomacy is obvious. There must be harmonious relationship existing between this office and the experiment station of the state university, if the horticultural-interests of the state are to be most efficiently conserved. It is deplorable that such co-operation has not existed in the past. We believe that the future policies of this commission should be directed toward securing such co-operation. Of the various persons whose names have been prominently mentioned as candidates for the office of state commissioner of horticulture, we unreservedly endorse Warren T. Clarke, associate professor of horticulture, director of farmers institutes and university extension work of the state university, as being the man best qualified in every respect. The position he occupies in the college of agriculture attest to his scientific ability, and the lines of work in which he has been engaged, especially qualifies him for the office. There is no man in the state who is more widely and favorably known in agricultural circles than he, and no one who possesses as intimate and detailed a knowledge of the resources and problems of the varied localities. We are positive that his appointment will meet with general approval. When Writing To your friends or on business it is Stationery that gives the best impression, so always use the best. Let me sell you some. I have a complete line of all kinds. Ag't for Waterman’s Ideal Fountain Pen. Jos. Helmsen offer of $5 reward for the arrest and conviction of anyone breaking the state law regulating speeding of motor vehicles and the carrying of lights by them at night. The withdrawal of rewards is thought to be temporary. The supervisors granted the sheriff a leave of absence from the state, and since all reward claims must receive his O.K., the supervisors thought it best to withhold them for the present. By the death of Jesus Cortez at the Santa Ana hospital, Cruz Trejo, a fugitive, became a murderer. On July 2d Trejo fired a bullet into Cortez's back, Trejo escaping, probably to Mexico. Cortez was taken to the hospital, where it was found that the bullet had struck the backbone. Gangrene set in in the leg and back and the Mexican died. He made a dying statement in which he declared that Trejo’s enmity toward him grew out of the fact that Cortez would not give Trejo the last drink there was in a brandy bottle. A HORRIBLE EXAMPLE When the Hon. Champ Clark last visited Georgia he was much amused by the sad case of an aged colored man as set forth by the negro’s wife. It appears that Mr. Clark was walking along the main street of a town in that state when he came upon an old couple. The man was staggering and the woman was berating him. “You are evidently of the opinion that liquor is not good for your husband,” the representative ventured to remark to the old negress. “Aint good for him?” retorted the old woman. “Of cose it ain’t good for him. It ain’t good for nobody.” FOR SALE Loose Alfalfa Hay of Extra Good Quality IN FIELD OR DELIVERED TIM CARROLL Pacific phone: 413 ANAHEIM, CAL.

L. Horton, the well-known East Side rancher, has harvested three carloads of fine onions from 4 1-2 acres on the Wagner tract. He sold a car load to a Los Angeles commission merchant at $2 per hundred. Walking into the commission man's office he asked whether the firm could use any first-class onions. "We can handle fifteen or twenty sacks," was the reply. "But I want to sell you a carload", Mr. Horton rejoined. "A carload. Do you say you came from Anaheim? There is not a carload of onions in Orange county." "Come down to my place and I will show you three carloads of the finest onions you ever saw." Sale of a carload was immediately effected, and the rest of the crop will probably be marketed this week. Mr. Horton is setting out seven Notice to Contractors Contractors who wish to bid on the one room school building to be erected in Commonwealth school district, Orange county, are hereby requested to send sealed bids, accompanied by a certified check equal to 5 per cent of said bid, to J.

Sale of a carload was immediately effected, and the rest of the crop will probably be marketed this week. Mr. Horton is setting out seven acres to onions, which will be ready for market in March. The boys call him the onion king of the locality, and his many friends are receiving samples of the best onions ever raised here. ALMOST AN AGEL George Ade was talking at a June wedding in Chicago about matrimony. "Matrimony is perhaps a little too much idealized," he said. "These June brides, radiant under the white veils in a glitter of June sunshine, seem capable of changing earth to heaven, but, as a matter of fact, they are not capable of anything of the sort. "I am in hearty sympathy with old Brown, to whom young Black said at a wedding: "'A good wife can make an veritable angel of a man.'" "'Yes, that's so,' old Brown agreed 'My wife came near making one of me with her first batch of doughnuts.'" THE REAL SUFFERER The "Prodigal Son" was the subject of the Sunday school lesson, and the teacher was dwelling on the character of the elder brother. "But amidst all the rejoicing," said the teacher, "there was one to whom the preparation of the feast brought no joy, to whom the prodigal's return gave no happiness, only bitterness; one who did not approve of the feast and had no wish to attend it.

Silence for several moments; then a hand raised and a small, sympathetic voice said: "Please, ma'am, it was the fatted calf." PANAMA CANAL H. F. Alexander of Tacoma, president of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, who returned from the east this week, predicts that the population of this coast will be doubled within five years after the opening of the Panama canal. He said: "Easter people are wild about the opportunity here. The belief is general in the east that the big steamship companies will run vessels direct to its coast from Europe. They consider that the opening of the Panama canal will mark the beginning of an era of unparalleled prosperity, from San Diego to Bellingham." FOO BIG A RISK He (tired of dodging.)

Carefully preserved at Greenwich (England) hospital is the famous Chatham chest. It is a great box curiously wrought. Its iron body being crossed and recrossed by strengthening bands of steel. It was the nearest approach the artificers of Elizabeth's age ever made to the modern iron safe and was worked with special care, since it was the repository of the funds of the great naval charity. In 1683 it was felt that something should be done for England's disabled sailors who had so nobly upheld her prestige on the sea against practically the whole world. So the Chatham chest was instituted. Strictly Business. "To whom do you wish to make your benefit certificate payable?" asked the officer of the fraternal order.
