The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION...$1.50 Per Year Six Months...$1.00 Three Months...50 Cts. Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. THE SMALLEST COUNTY The Los Angeles Examiner recently published an excellent article descriptive of Orange county, giving it preeminence over all the other counties in the State in the wide range of products of its soil. It stated that no other section on earth possesses such diversified products, and it published figures showing the many million of dollars coming to the county annually from its farms, orchards, oil fields, grain ranches, poultry farms, dairy herds and other resources. The article was a well written bit of descriptive literature but the writer permitted an error to creep into his narrative when he said that the county was the smallest in the State. This errorr has appeared in print before, and we have on various occasions tried to set these newspapermen right. Orange county is not the smallest county in the State territorially, for there are nine other counties of smaller domain. San Francisco, next to Los Angeles, the most populous county in the State, is the smallest territorially, having an area of only 42 square miles. Los Angeles possesses an area of 3957½ square miles, being ninety-four times the size of the northern metropolis. When Los Angeles erects itself into a city and county government, which it will do if a constitutional amendment to be voted upon in November, shall be enacted into law, it will cut out probably a fourth or more of its area; and by the same token San Francisco will add probably as much by annexing portions of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin. The infantile paralysis scare has entirely faded away and the kiddies may now go to the moving picture show as of old. If President Madero does not do a little business with promptness and dispatch down in Mexico, he may have an opportunity to see what real soldiers look like. Several Anaheim young people this week took up their studies in Normal, U. S. C. and Occidental college in Los Angeles. Anaheim boys and girls have been able to show their ability at these schools in the past, and we confidently expect them to make good this season. Anaheim is indeed getting into the metropolitan class. Traffic "cops" are now on the job Saturday afternoons and evenings on our busiest corner and auto drivers will have to conform to the city's laws in regard to speed, mufflers, and traffic regulation. A good move and one that was needed. Schools open this week and we see the coming generation trudging to school to take up another year's work in the pursuit of knowledge. From our own experience and observation, we opine that it will be a losing pursuit for some of the lads, especially on circus day. The roller skating season is now in full swing and we write our editorials and stories to the tune of "My Merry Oldsmobile" and "Come Be My Rainbow," rendered with pathos by the mechanical organ upstairs, the while we wear our hats to protect us from falling plaster, incident upon the jar caused by falling skaters. BROWN AND CURRY COMING Famous Evangelists to Hold Meetings In Anaheim Beginning Sunday Brown and Curry, the evangelists area of only 42 square miles. Los Angeles possesses an area of 3957½ square miles, being ninety-four times the size of the northern metropolis. When Los Angeles erects itself into a city and county government, which it will do if a constitutional amendment to be voted upon in November, shall be enacted into law, it will cut out probably a fourth or more of its area; and by the same token San Francisco will add probably as much by annexing portions of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin and San Mateo counties. In that event Santa Cruz will be the smallest county in the State, having 425 square miles, a little more than half that of Orange county. When San Francisco shall increase, and Los Angeles decrease its territory, the first named county will probably resume its position as the most populous county in the State. As the counties now stand, Santa Cruz is, next to San Francisco, the smallest county. Then follow in their order San Mateo, with 470 square miles; Marin, with 516; Amador, with 568; Alpine, with 575; Sutter, with 611; Yuba, with 625; and Contra Costa, with 750. Standing tenth in the list of these small counties, comes Orange, with 780 square miles. While the county is not the smallest nor yet the largest in the State, it stands probably thirteenth among the 58 counties in respect to assessed valuation, having more than $44,000,000 of taxable wealth. Count upon your fingers, if you have that many, the great and populous counties of the State—San Francisco, Los Angeles, Alameda, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Fresno, San Bernardino, San Diego, Sonoma, Humboldt, Kern, and Santa Clara—and all the other counties of the State come trooping by, as respects taxable values, in rear of this giant little county of the Southland. We have not the controllers figures for the year at hand, and we should not be surprised if Orange county be lifted from thirteenth place to a higher rating among the counties of the commonwealth. While it may not pass some of these big counties this year, it is growing rapidly, and bids fair to overtake and pass a number of them before it is much older. It is a splendid little county, none better, and no less a person than Prof. Wickson informed us some years ago that the range of products from its soil was greater not only than that of any other county in the State, but that of any other similar section in the civilized world. Prof. Wickson knows, and what he says, goes. PARTNERS IN TOWN BUSINESS BROWN AND CURRY COMING Famous Evangelists to Hold Meetings in Anaheim Beginning Sunday Brown and Curry, the evangelists who have been holding meetings in Fullerton, expect to be in Anaheim for two weeks. The churches of the city will unite with the evangelists in an earnest endeavor to win men and women to the better life. The first service will be held next Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. Brown and Curry have had large experience as evangelists. They are men of God with a message from God to men. The gospel is preached with power, yet with such purity and simplicity that even a child can understand. The music will be a special feature. A choir of 100 voices will sing; besides, there will be solors by Mr. Curry, sung in his own matchless way. An invitation is hereby given to everybody to be on hand at the very first meeting. We cannot tell all the good things that are in store for you. You must come and see and hear and learn and enjoy for yourselves. Remember, the time of the first meeting is next Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. You can tell the character of a man by the things that interest him most. Place of meeting, the big tent across the street from the city hall. TOOK MONEY FROM STOCKING Lady Friend of Mexican Gun-Man Pays For His Fine in Court Juan Gonzales, who was arrested some weeks ago for creating a disturbance in Walter's poolroom, had his hearing in the Santa Ana township court on Thursday. His attorney asked for a jury trial and the case was set for September 27. Later in the day Gonzales decided to plead guilty and pay a fine if the assessment would not be too heavy, and with the assistance of his attorney he at length got the matter in such shape that the court was informed that he had changed his mind. So the plea was changed and time for passing sentence waived and the sum of $35 assessed in lieu of a jail term, and when this had all been arranged, a woman friend of Gonzales delved into her stocking, flashed up the money and paid the fine. A. H. Dutton, cartoonist resigned from the Hearst arrived in Anaheim to create unique system of advertising cinity, telling of its sources and business men. Mr. Dutton said yesterday stand behind a novel idea ing interest in a community stranger, by giving him some personal perspective which likely assist the work of dry soil good illustrations in introductory to the outside world.

Prof. Wickson knows, and what he says, goes. PARTNERS IN TOWN BUSINESS A village, a town, a city, is a partnership. All of us here are in business together. Ownership of property is individual, but our prosperity as a whole is closely bound up in each other's interests. If you have a house to rent, goods to sell, labor to sell, your success in getting a good price for such service depends on the prosperity of your neighbors. If they are doing well, they will pay fair prices, and as times go, these prices tend to rise! On the other hand, if your neighbors are not succeeding, they will haggle for the last cent for your house, your goods, your labor. The prices for these services will tend to fall. When you buy goods away from home, you work to reduce the prosperity of your neighbors. Thereby they become less able to do any thing to help you, and you have failed to build up business ties with them so that they feel no personal interest in you. When you buy goods at home, you increase the prosperity of your neighbors. They are not merely better able thereby to help you along in return, but you have created business friendships that make them want to help you. Buying at home pays!

A fair Cartoonist Dutton as Seen by Himself A. H. Dutton, cartoonist, recently assigned from the Hearst service, has arrived in Anaheim to carry out a unique system of advertising this viability, telling of its products, resources and business men. Mr. Dutton said yesterday: "We stand behind a novel idea of awakening interest in a community with the stranger, by giving him something of a personal perspective which will greatly assist the work of dry statistics and good illustrations in introducing a locality to the outside world. "I will cartoon the principal business and professional men, those who are engaged in conscientious and earnest boosting, and will gather data regarding the scenery, resources, products of the locality, etc., for 'Out West,' which is devoted to impartially boosting every section of the Southwest. "I will only undertake the cartooning of local people and the acquisition of some unique views of industries and scenes peculiar to this locality. A fair presentation of the claims of this section, commercially and scenically, is assured for the October number from the fact that the article regarding it will be written by a well-known writer of this city. "No charge is being made for the publicity or write-ups; the magazine relying entirely for its compensation upon the extra copies of this issue sold." This magazine's project has the hearty endorsement of the Anaheim Board of Trade. POPE-HARTFORD IN RACE Chas. Newcombe Enters Baldy Racer in Sacramento Auto Event Chas. Newcombe went to Los Angeles on Saturday and returning drove down in a Pope-Hartford racer which he had purchased in the city. It is the car that won the famous race up Old Saldy in 1910, and Charlie expects to future make it live up to its reputation on that climb. It is a 50 horsepower car and in the try-outs this week made creditable speed at all times. Charlie has entered it in amateur races at the Sacramento fair which he to be pulled off in a few days and is expected to land the prize every time. He will drive the car to Sacramento and will be accompanied by Boyd Hatfield as mechanician. The car is entered as an Anaheim car and will fly Anaheim banners at all times. Good speed, boys, and we wish you the best of luck in the races. HE WANTS THE MONEY Claims Filed by Superintendent of United States Protective Association With Supervisors Claims aggregating the sum of $175 have been filed with the county clerk for payment by the supervisors to J. A. McMillan, superintendent of the United States Protective Association, as taxes collected for convictions in cases brought for violation of the law against animals in the county. Of this amount $20 was collected in KIDS IN SCRAP—USE KNIFE Mexican Lad Stabs Youngster in Back With Pocket Knife Officers Germann and Sackett were called to the sugar factory Monday morning by the report that a small boy had used a knife upon another lad with disastrous effect. The officers immediately repaired to the scene, and after some search, found the Mexican lad, named Marthia Lagara, who had done the alleged stabbing. He was taken into custody and brought to Justice Howard's office where he was given a stiff lecture and upon his promise to be good was turned loose. He gave his age as 13. Homer Iman, the 14-year-old son of Nightwatchman Iman, was engaged in carrying water to a force of men engaged in grading land east of the sugar factory, when he noticed young Lagara and a few companions, and suspicioned that they were doing mischief. An altercation ensued which soon led to blows, and Lagara drew his pocket knife and made a pass at young Iman, striking him in the back, below the left shoulder. The blade penetrated only a short distance and the wound is not dangerous. So far, none of the chairmen claims that his candidate will carry Patagonia. Claims aggregating the sum of $175 have been filed with the county clerk for payment by the supervisors to J. A. McMillan, superintendent of the United States Protective Association, as fines collected for convictions in cases brought for violation of the law against cruelty to animals in the county. Of this amount $20 was collected in the Fullerton township court, $130 in Orange and $25 in Anaheim. Whether the claims will be paid by the supervisors is a question that will not be answered until the board meets and hears the decision of the district attorney, as at a recent meeting when the claim for $5 was presented for payment by the same organization, the supervisors turned it down and referred it to the district attorney for his decision. WALNUT CROP SOLD The Hundred Tons of Last Season's Output Disposed of at 13 Cents One hundred tons of last year's walnuts belonging to the Anaheim Walnut Association, which have been carried in cold storage in Los Angeles since beginning of the year, were sold this week at 13 cents, one cent lower than the price agreed upon last year. There remains only two carloads of seconds, and these will probably be disposed of this week. The amount involved in the transaction is $26,000. This money now in bank and will be distributed to growers upon return of Mr. Phelps, secretary of the association, who is now in Chicago.
