Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. PILLSBURY'S PLAN Well, well. If here isn't our old friend Pillsbury getting a fat billet in one of the many state commissions at a salary of $3600. Gov. Johnson is taking care of his own, and we know of no one more deserving or competent to hold down the job than this self-same old-time editor of the Tulare Register. But Pillsbury years ago shook the dust of Tulare from his brogans, not however before trying for the republican congressional nomination in this district fifteen years or more ago. Jim Needham beat him to it, and Cap. Daniels was among the also ran. Pillsbury went to San Francisco, and in the McKinley campaign was in charge of the republican state literary burial Lydia Pinkham Stone were bosom friends. Both were regulars from away back. Pardee appointed him to a fat job at Sacramento, but Gillett came along and displaced him. Then Pillsbury turned reformer. He started the California Weekly, and a right good paper it was. It lambasted the machine. It was one of the original Johnson papers. After election the Weekly died. Pillsbury later on associated himself with a Los Angeles weekly, but his work pos- MEXICAN SHOOTING SCRAPE Joe Cruz Fires Two Bullets Into E. Reyes A gory sight met the eyes of Officers Germain and Chambers at 2:30 o'clock on Tuesday morning at a Mexican camp north of town, when they found E. Reyes lying upon a couch bathed in blood. He had been shot during a drunken brawl by Joe Cruz. Reyes was shot through the leg and right arm, two revolver bullets having taken effect. The man was bathed in blood and was suffering intensely from his wounds. He was brought to this city and later removed to the county hospital at Santa Ana. Cruz was arrested and taken by Deputy Sheriff Simpson to the county jail. He was charged with assault to kill. Reyes says Cruz was impersonating an officer and tried to arrest him. Cruz says Reyes came at him with a knife, and that he shot to frighten him. Cruz was the main witness in the Cabello murder trial, in which Cabello was found guilty and sentenced to ten years in San Quentin. Officers think well of him. Marshal Kellenberger found it difficult to obtain evidence of the shooting. He swore to a complaint charging Cruz with assault to murder. AUTOMOBILE LICENSES May Be Procured in Los Angeles, instead of Sending to Sacramento. Secretary of State Jordan has supplied a deputy for Southern California to issue automobile and chauffeurs licenses for this territory, with headquarters at the Automobile Club of Southern California, 8th and Olive Sts Los Angeles, Cal. Few people will appreciate the immense advantage that has been af- EDITOR GETTING FAMOUS The esteemed Santa Ana Blade in its issue of Wednesday afternoon of last week printed the following interesting item: "The suit of the Santa Ana Artificial Stone Company against Henry Kuchel of Anaheim came up before Justice Cox this morning, on motion to quash the summons. The motion was granted, but in the meantime defense had entered a demurrer, bringing the case into court regardless of the validity of the summons." Inasmuch as the editor of The Gazette knows nothing about the case, never heard of the Santa Ana artificial stone company, and never got acquainted with a summons in his life, the item must be regarded as being in the category of things important if true. The esteemed Blade of Thursday evening comes to hand with the following: "An error in yesterday's Blade made it appear that Editor Kuchel of the Anaheim Gazette is defendant in a suit brought by the Santa Ana artificial stone company, and this notice is published to explain that not Henry Kuchel of Anaheim, but Contractor George Kuechel of Orange, is the man meant. "The mistake was due to the fact that a new reporter, who culled the courthouse items yesterday, was told of the disposition made of a case in which Contractor Kuechel figured, and took it for granted that Editor Kuchel was the man meant, as he had evidently never heard of any other." AUTOMOBILE LICENSES May Be Procured in Los Angeles, Instead of Sending to Sacramento Secretary of State Jordan has supplied a deputy for Southern California to issue automobile and chauffeur licenses for this territory, with headquarters at the Automobile Club of Southern California, 8th and Olive Sts Los Angeles, Cal. Few people will appreciate the immense advantage that has been afforded Southern California, due to the efforts of the automobile club and the courtesy of Jordan, until they realize that some 53,000 licenses have been issued in the state with an average of from 300 to 500 per month from Southern California alone. Licenses will be issued promptly; transfers taken care of immediately, and records will be at hand as in the Sacramento office. By sending applications to the Motor Vehicle Department of the Automobile Club of Southern California there will be but a short delay in receipt of licenses. ORIGIN OF VEGETABLES The potato, which was already cultivated in America when the continent was discovered, is spontaneous in Chile. It was introduced to Europe in 1580 and 1585 by the Spaniards, and almost at the same time by the English, who brought it from Virginia, where it had appeared about 1550. The sweet potato and the Jerusalem artichoke are also supposed to come from America. Salsify is found in a wild state in Greece, Dalmatia, Italy and Algeria. According to Oliver de Serres, it has been cultivated in the south of France since the sixteenth century. Turnips and radishes came originally from Central Europe. The beetroot and the beet, which have been greatly improved by cultivation, are considered as the same species by botanists. The beet, only the stalk of which is eaten, grows wild in the Mediterranean, Persia and Babylonia. Garlic, onions, shalots and leeks have been long raised in almost all countries, and their origin is very uncertain. That of the scallion is better known. It grows spontaneously in Siberia. One finds chives in a wild state throughout the northern hemisphere. The radish, greatly modified by cultivation, probably had its origin in the temperate zone, but from what wild species it is derived is not ex- a suit brought by the Santa Ana artificial stone company, and this notice is published to explain that not Henry Kuchel of Anaheim, but Contractor George Kuechel of Orange, is the man meant. "The mistake was due to the fact that a new reporter, who culled the courthouse items yesterday, was told of the disposition made of a case in which Contractor Kuechel figured, and took it for granted that Editor Kuchel was the man meant, as he had evidently never heard of any other Kuchel than the sage of Anaheim; but those interested may rest assured that Editor Kuchel has never been mixed up in any artificial stone deal, so far as the records show. Nothing artificial about Marse Henry; he's the real thing." [We're getting famous fast. Amen.—Ed.] Mr. and Mrs. G. J. Stock are home from an enjoyable outing at the seashore.

Charles Federman was given a genuine surprise yesterday when his two brothers, Max and Isaac Federman, Pennsylvania capitalists, dropped in upon him without announcing their coming. Charles had not seen them in twenty years, and was delighted. He will show them the natural beauties of this section, and will make them believe that they are in the best locality on earth. Both gentlemen are touring the coast, and will spend some time in California before returning to their home in the east. Garlic, onions, shalots and leeks have been long raised in almost all countries, and their origin is very uncertain. That of the scallion is better known. It grows spontaneously in Siberia. One finds chives in a wild state throughout the northern hemisphere. The radish, greatly modified by cultivation, probably had its origin in the temperate zone, but from what wild species it is derived is not exactly known. The lettuce appears to be derived from the endive, which is found wild in temperate and southern Europe, in the Canaries, Algeria, Abyssinia and temperate western Asia. Wild succory is spontaneous all through Europe, even in Sweden, in Asia Minor, Persia, the Caucasus, Afghanistan and Siberia.Cultivated succory is probably a form of endive which is thought to have had its origin in India. Corn salad is found wild throughout Europe, Asia Minor and Japan. Cabbage, like all vegetables which have been cultivated from remote ages, is believed to be of European origin. The artichoke is the cultivated form of the wild cardoon, indigenous to Madeira, the Canaries, Morocco, the south of France, Spain, Italy and the Mediterranean islands. Asparagus had its origin in Europe and temperate western Asia. The origin of the egg plant is India, that of the broadbean is so far unknown, as also that of the lentil, the pea, chick pea, and haricot. The last-named appears to have come originally from America. Mrs. F. A. Kimball is sojourning at Bay City. F. A. Kimball spent Sunday at Anaheim Landing. IN AND ABOUT THE CITY Mrs. M. L.

Beyond a badly bruised leg he was not injured. Mike Lopez has the credit of sending in the first deer of the season, a fine six-point buck which he slew in Santa Clara Creek canyon, near Saugus, a week ago. The deer was dressed and shipped by express to this city. Warm weather affected the venison unfavorably, and before it could be placed in cold storage the meat spoiled. Mike returned from his hunt with visions of a feast for himself and many friends, but all were doomed to disappointment. Better luck next time, Mike.

MOTOR COP'S EYE ON HIM Chet Holcomb Beats It Out of Town When Son Is Injured Johnny Holcomb dislocated his right thumb while coming out of the water at Newport Beach on Wednesday last. Mrs. Holcomb telephoned her husband, and boarding an electric car brought her son to Santa Ana. Mr. Holcomb cranked up his auto, and taking Dr. Beebe along beat it to the county seat. Arriving there, he found the bone had been replaced by Dr. Ball. The lad was brought to his home, where he soon regained his usual sturdy composure. A couple of motor cops espied Holcomb burning up the pavement, and one of them said: "That's twice for Holcomb; the next time he gets it." "They would never have caught us," said Dr. Beebe. On inquiring the charge of Dr. Ball Holcomb was surprised to hear the physician say: "Nothing." "What? Don't you make charges for such cases as these?" "You are Rev. Mr. Holcomb, are you not?" persisted the doctor. Holcomb revealed his identity, and the doctor charged him $10. Johnny returned to the beach with his auntie the next day. Shoes. Shoes, Shoes.
