WILL ESTUDILLO COME BACK The Santa Ana Blade reprints our reference to the new state apportionment, as affecting the Thirty-ninth senatorial district, and adds: "The only explanation which occurs to the Blade is that the new deal was brought about by State Senator Estudillo, who now that he has become a Reformer, works at it, so to speak, early and 'ate. And Mr. Estudillo, like the most of Reformers of whom we have knowledge, tries to see to it that reform inures to the benefit of the Reformer. And why not pray? If Reform isn't going to help the Reformer, and make more smooth his political path, what's the use of it?" Does Estudillo imagine he's going to come back? John N. Anderson carried the district seven years ago by 4000 majority. Three years ago Estudillo carried by a scant 126. Do republicans of the Thirty-ninth consider him such HANDEL'S TEMPER. Serely Tried by a Joker Who Knew the Composer's Weakness. The celebrated composer Handel had such a remarkable irritation of nerves that he could not bear to hear the tuning of instruments, and therefore this was always done before he arrived at the theater. A musical wag who knew how to extract some mirth from Handel's irascibility of temper stole into the orchestra on a night when the Prince of Wales was to be present and un-tuned all the instruments. As soon as the prince arrived Handel gave the signal of beginning, con spirito, but such was the horrible discord that the enraged musician started up from his seat, and, having overturned a double bass, which stood in his way, he seized a kettledrum, which he threw with such violence at the leader of the band that he lost his full bottomed wig in the effort. Without waiting to replace it he advanced bareheaded to the front of the orchestra, breathing vengeance, but so much choked with passion that utterance was denied him. In this ridiculous attitude he stood staring and stamping for some moments amid a convulsion of laughter, nor could he be prevailed upon to resume his seat until the prince went in person and appeased his wrath. THE PLANET MARS. Its Orbit and Its Distance From the Sun and Earth. While the astronomers are still debating and weighing the problem of Mars and its inhabitants a few words about the distance of the planet from the sun and earth may be of interest. WHO SHALL BE SENATOR? Whom shall republicans of the thirty-ninth senatorial district nominate in this year's primaries? Orange county will stand upon its right to name that official. The practice of naming the candidate, first from one county and then from the other forming the district, has been in vogue for a generation. It has been scrupulously adhered to by republicans of this county, who in the last campaign had it in their power to nominate, as against an objectionable candidate from Riverside; yet they scorned to do so. Now that Imperial county has been included into the district, at behest of Senator Estudillo, and against the protest of Assemblyman Bishop, is it to ask the honor of naming the candidate? Certainly not. Such practice has never for a moment been thought of. Imperial cannot rightfully ask that honor, being the youngest as well as smallest county in the district. But what of these reports which come from Riverside, that Senator Estudillo wants in again, and that he insisted upon placing Imperial in the Thirty-ninth solely to buttress his political future, when if Oragne and Riverside alone composed the district, he would not even be considered in the running? Is Estudillo desirous of again going before republicans of the district at the primaries? We should say not. Orange county stands upon its right to name the candidate. By all fair methods in politics, it should be freely conceded that right. It has scores of republican men of probity of character and high standing in the councils of the party, who would see to it that reform inures to the benefit of the Reformer. And why not pray? If Reform isn't going to help the Reformer, and make more smooth his political path, what's the use of it? Does Estudillo imagine he's going to come back? John N. Anderson carried the district seven years ago by 4000 majority. Three years ago Estudillo carried by a scant 126. Do republicans of the Thirty-ninth consider him such strong political timber that the time-honored plan of alternating nominations as between the counties forming the districts, is to be upset in favor of this political turncoat? THE PLANET MARS. Its Orbit and Its Distance From the Sun and Earth. While the astronomers are still debating and weighing the problem of Mars and its inhabitants a few words about the distance of the planet from the sun and earth may be of interest. The average distance of Mars from the sun is 141,500,000 miles. The distance from earth to sun is 93,000,000 miles. When sun, earth and Mars are in line, with the sun and Mars on opposite sides of the earth, Mars is said to be in "opposition," and it is then closest to the earth. If earth and Mars both moved in circles about the sun the distance from earth to Mars at opposition would be forty-eight and a half (141½—38) million miles. But neither of the orbits is circular, that of Mars being much more elliptical than that of the earth, with the result that at opposition Mars may be as far away as 61,000,000 miles from the earth when there is an unfavorable opposition, or Mars may come as close as 35,000,000 miles away, when it is as near as it can possibly come to the earth, and its opposition is then the most favorable possible. At such times Mars is brightest in the sky and appears of greatest size—New York World. Biggest of Cannibal Banquets. Probably the biggest cannibal orgy on record is one of which Miss Beatrice Grimshaw tells in her book "The New Guinea." "In 1858 a shipload of Chinamen was being taken down to Australia. The vessel was wrecked upon a reef close to Rossel island (New Guinea). The officers escaped in boats, but were never afterward heard of. As for the Chinamen, numbering 326, the natives captured them and put them on a small barren island, where they had no food and no means of getting away. They kept their prisoners supplied with food from the mainland and every now and then carried away a few of them to eat until all but one old man had been devoured. This one succeeded eventually in getting away and told something of the story, which seems to have met with general disbelief. True it is, however, on the evidence of the sons of those who did the deed." Knew What He Was Doing. The stalwart policeman who guards the traffic at Euclid and a cross street rescued a well dressed old gentleman from beneath the very wheels of an automobile. "Officer," said the rescued man. "are you married?" For 1912 A complete set of books should be started. Old books are like an old year. Let me sell you a complete set and start you out all new. JOS. HELMSEN Mrs. Julius Schneider will entertain the 500 club at her home on next Tuesday afternoon. Knew What He Was Doing. The stalwart policeman who guards the traffic at Euclid and a cross street rescued a well dressed old gentleman from beneath the very wheels of an automobile. "Officer," said the rescued man. "are you married?" "No, sir," answered the policeman. "Ah, well, you will hear from me in a day or two nevertheless." After he had gone a friend of the officer asked: "Tom, why did you tell the old guy that you wasn't married? You've got a wife an' kid at home, and I know it." "Sure I have. But if I'd told him so he'd have sent me a ham or a basket of grapes. As it is he'll probably come through with a little purse. I aln't no fool!"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Sense of Direction In Bees. The directive sense possessed by bees is the object of research made by M. Gaston Bonnier of Paris, and he seems to have proved that bees possess a special sense like carrier pigeons. Experiments showed that bees can fly two miles to their hives even when deprived of the organs of sight and smell. Many scientists and among others Dadent have always declared that bees are guided by the sense of smell and that they can smell flowers at one and a half miles. Bonnier's experiments proved that bees detect odors at only short distances. No Props. A noted sociologist tells the following story of a woman in a manufacturing town. Approaching her for statistics, he asked, "Madam, have you any children?" "No," she replied. "I have to work in the factory myself."—Life. Indigestion For Two. Ella—they are very much in love with each other. Stella—Very. She doesn't even want him to have indigestion unless she can share it—New York Press. ANAHEIM GAZETTE Louis Z. Kroeger 128 W.

Hal Corbett of Paducah, Ky., met a party of fellow-Kentuckians at a hotel in New York, and promptly invited them to have something. They all sat down at a table, and the Col. called a waiter. The first man ordered vichy and milk. The Col. gave a start of surprise, but said nothing. The second man took a seltzer lemonade. The third man wanted a little mineral water. Finally the waiter reached Col. Corbett, who was by that time in a mental state bordering on nervous prostration. "Waiter," he said meekly, "bring me a bottle of blueing." GOOD YEAR ANTICIPATED. Joseph Helmsen and E. B. Merritt will be appointed registration clerk for this precinct by County Clerk Williams. The Anaheim sugar factory has signed 9600 acres of beets for next year and will doubtless go over 10,000 acres before planting commences in the spring. During the year just closed the factory sliced beets from 5,000 acres, and the acreage for the coming year will be practically double that of the past season. The factory will be started a month earlier and will continue a month later in the fall. Growers of the product are so uniformly satisfied with treatment accorded to them that they have all signed up for the coming season, and in addition to this many new tracts have been signed. Growers will be paid $5.25 per ton for beets of 15 per cent., with 30 cents for each additional per cent, of sugar. This is an increase of 75 cents per ton over prices paid last year, and will result in adding to the income by $75,000. The increased price paid beet growers throughout Orange county and the beet strip across the line in Los Angeles county next year is estimated at $225,000.

Drawing takes place Wednesday, Jan. 17th, 9 a.m. the crop next year will be upward of two and one-half million dollars. Growers who have signed up with the Anaheim factory are members of the growers' association, who recently asked increase in the prices paid them yet they signed before the association had been fully organized, being promised they would be paid the highest market price for their product. The Anaheim factory is still manufacturing brown sugar, which will continue for four weeks. FULLERTON Local residents who were not satisfied with the site purchased for the new High School building had an injunction issued recently, preventing the trustees from letting the contract for the new build which will cost over $100,000. It is now believed there will be a compromise and that an election will be called at once to vote on the matter of changing from the Krug site to the Central tract. The fifteen-acre Krug place was purchased by the trustees for $15,000, which included the cottage, water stock, a well and the walnut crop. The trustees had advertised for bids and were ready to let the contract when the injunction papers were served on the board.
