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. RECRUDESCENCE OF RABIES The announced purpose of coast-line boulevardiers to renew mandamus proceedings against the state highway commission seeking to compel construction of the state road along the coast line from San Juan to Santa Barbara, after they had given out the statement that no further action along that line was contemplated, seems to give color to the report that efforts are making to delay work upon state highways until a new state administration can come into power. Given a new governor with coast-line proclivities, and a new highway commission bending to his will, there is no disputing the fact that proponents of the interior route might as well hang their harp upon a willow tree. An entirely new phase will then have been put upon the highway situation in the state, and it is not too much to say that action of bond-buyers in declining to purchase bonds at this moment is merely a part of the political scheme to set at naught purposes of the highway commission to build a system of roads throughout the state along lines best suited to the interests of a great majority of the people. With a new line of interested politicians in control of affairs, we may yet see the road through the Riverside desert constructed to the Colorado River, at enormous expense over the projected road from San Diego eastward, and the inland route through this county may also be displaced by one running along the coast line as the seashore politicians. The Closing Year Geo. D. Prentice. 'T is midnight's holy hour, and silence now Is brooding like a gentle spirit o'er The still and pulseless world. Hark! on the whi The bell's deep tones are swelling; 't is the knee Of the departed year. No funeral train Is sweeping past; yet, on the stream and wood With melancholy light, the moonbeams rest Like a pale, spotless shroud; the air is stirr'd As by a mourner's sigh; and on yon cloud That floats so still and placidly through heaven The spirits of the Seasons seem to stand,— Young Spring, bright Summer, Autumn's solemn And Winter with his aged locks—and breathe, In mournful cadences that come abroad Like the far wind-harp's wild and touching wail A melancholy dirge o'er the dead year, Gone from the earth forever. 'T is a time For memory and for tears. Within the deep, Still chambers of the heart, a spectre dim, Whose tones are like the wizard voice of Time Heard from the tomb of ages, points its cold And solemn finger to the beautiful And holy visions, that have pass'd away, And left no shadow of their loveliness On the dead waste of life. The spectre lifts The coffin-lid of Hope, and Joy, and Love, And, bending mournfully above the pale, Sweet forms that slumber there, scatters dead O'er what has pass'd to nothingness. The year Has gone, and with it many a glorious throng Of happy dreams. Its mark is on each brow, Its shadow in each heart. In its swift course, It waved its sceptre o'er the beautiful,— And they are not. It laid its pallid hand Upon the strong man,—and the haughty form Is fallen, and the flashing eye is dim. It trod the hall of revelry, where thronged The bright and joyous,—and the tearful wail Of stricken ones is heard where erst the song And reckless shout resounded. It pass'd o'er The battle-plain, where sword, and spear, and sl Flash'd in the light of mid-day,—and the strength Of serried hosts is shiver'd, and the grass, Green from the soil of carnage, waves above The crush'd and mouldering skeleton. It came, And faded like a wreathe of mist at eve; Yet, ere it melted in the viewless air. haught purposes of the highway commission to build a system of roads throughout the state along lines best suited to the interests of a great majority of the people. With a new line of interested politicians in control of affairs, we may yet see the road through the Riverside desert constructed to the Colorado River, at enormous expense over the projected road from San Diego eastward, and the inland route through this county may also be displaced by one running along the coast line as the seashore politicians may dictate its course. Certain it is that indications are not wanting to point to this new state of affairs. Coast boulevardiers can have no standing in court in their aim to bring man-damus proceedings against the highway commission, nor can the much vaunted ocean-to-ocean highway association have a leg to stand upon in a tribunal of justice in its purpose to institute an injunction against building the road from San Diego to the Colorado River. Moreover, if desert land-boomers can stop road work by such proceedings, what is to stay the San Diego people from instituting similar proceedings should the desert route to the Arizona line be finally endorsed under the contemplated new state of affairs. In either case, road building would be delayed, and great expense imposed upon taxpayers in contesting these actions in the courts. There are not wanting signs, as we say, that there exists a wide-spread scheme throughout the state to defeat the present administration and the highway commission in their purpose to build state roads along lines which in their judgment, will bring the greatest good to the greatest number. If this deep-laid scheme shall unfortunately materialize, and efforts make to route the road along the coast line, other injunction proceedings will probably ensue and the result will be interminable and costly litigation. Thus the purpose of the state to construct a system of highways will fetch on long continued lawsuits, and no one can foresee the end. Roads will not be built, but money will be frittered away in unseemly and unnecessary legal battles. In this view of the case, why cannot the purpose of the state highway commission to place bonds among country bankers, to the end that road work may be prosecuted expeditiously be met by local moneyed men? The interest rate is low, to be sure, but that seems the only way out of what promises to be a difficult and unfortunate dilema. If road building can be deferred two years, we may have a new political deal all around, and a new high- IN AND ABOUT THE CITY The German American Bank is presenting its patrons with beautiful 1913 calendars. An action for divorce was filed recently by Attorneys Weisel & Dutton for Julia Trapp against Wm. Trapp. A bunch of young people went to Santa Ana Tuesday evening to attend a grand ball given in honor of the new year. We want all the local items we can get. Call us up if you have guests or if anything of interest happens. We'll appreciate it. Mrs. Grace Stevens, of Los Angeles, was in the city several days the pastOf happy dreams. Its mark is on each brow, Its shadow in each heart. In its swift course, It waved its sceptre o'er the beautiful,—And they are not. It laid its pallid hand Upon the strong man,-and the haughty form Is fallen, and the flashing eye is dim. It trod the hall of revelry, where thronged The bright and joyous,-and the tearful wail Of stricken ones is heard where erst the song And reckless shout resounded. It pass'd o'er The battle-plain, where sword, and spear, and sl Flash'd in the light of mid-day,-and the strength Of serried hosts is shiver'd, and the grass, Green from the soil of carnage, waves above The crush'd and mouldering skeleton. It came, And faded like a wreath of mist at eve; Yet, ere it melted in the viewless air, It heralded its millions to their home In the dim land of dreams. Remorseless Time Fierce spirit of the glass and scythe! What poor Can stay him in his silent course, or melt His iron heart to pity! On still on, He presses, and forever. The proud bird, The condor of the Andes, that can soar Through heaven's unfathomable depths, or brave The fury of the northern hurricane, And bathe his plumage in the thunder's home, Furls his broad wings at night-fall, and sinks do To rest upon his mountain crag; but Time Knows not the weight of sleep or weariness, And Night's deep darkness has no chain to bind His rushing pinion. Revolutions sweep O'er earth, like troubled visions o'er the breast Of dreaming sorrow; cities rise and sink Like bubbles on the water; fiery isles Spring blazing from the ocean, and go back To their mysterious caverns; mountains rear To heaven their bald and blacken'd cliffs, and b Their tall heads to the plain; new empires rise; Gathering the strength of hoary centuries, And rush-down, like the Alpine avalanche, Startling the nations; and the very stars, Yon bright and burning blazonry of God, Glitter awhile in their eternal depths, And, like the Pleiad, loveliest of their train, Shoot from their glorious spheres, and pass away To darkle in the trackless void: yet Time, Time, the tomb-builder, holds his fierce career, Dark, stern, all pitiless, and pauses not Amid the mighty wrecks that strew his path, To sit and muse, like other conquerors, Upon that fearful ruin he hath wrought: In this view of the case, why cannot the purpose of the state highway commission to place bonds among country bankers, to the end that road work may be prosecuted expeditiously be met by local moneyed men? The interest rate is low, to be sure, but that seems the only way out of what promises to be a difficult and unfortunate dilemma. If road building can be deferred two years, we may have a new political deal all around, and a new highway commission more favorable to coast liners and desert boomers than we now very fortunately possess. Let our moneyed men meet the state commission halfway, and let work upon projected highways proceed. Orange county capitalists will be asked to subscribe to $250,000 of these bonds. We have the money in this county to do this. It is up to our bankers to say whether this work shall proceed or whether it shall be held in abeyance with possibility that the road may not be constructed upon selected routes at all. A crisis seems to have arisen in road affairs, and we should meet it unflinchingly like men and patriots. The coast-liners have been looking for a fight for upward of a year. They should be brought up with a round turn, and be made to understand that the great majority of citizens and taxpayers approve the route selected by the state highway commission, and that in this instance the state government and highway commission have their earnest and cordial endorsement. Moody Lytell, who has been with the Perry Company for several months as solicitor, has resigned his place with them and accepted a lucrative position with a responsible Los Angeles firm.

Members of the high school resumed attendance on Monday. Prof. J. F. Walker, however, was on the sick list due to an attack of the grip, and was not able to assume charge of affairs, and vice principal C. R. Prince is in charge of the school.

Closing Year. Geo. D. Prentice. On hour, and silence now, A gentle spirit o'er the world. Hark! on the winds are swelling; 't is the knell No funeral train on the stream and wood, the moonbeams rest throught; the air is stirr'd and on yon cloud and placidly through heaven, asons seem to stand,— Summer, Autumn's solemn form, aged locks—and breathe, that come abroad too's wild and touching wail, over the dead year, forever. T is a time dears. Within the deep, heart, a spectre dim, the wizard voice of Time of ages, points its cold the beautiful I have pass'd away, of their loveliness life. The spectre lifts and Joy, and Love, fully above the pale, number there, scatters dead flowers into nothingness. The year many a glorious throng mark is on each brow, heart. In its swift course, over the beautiful,— laid its pallid hand —and the haughty form shining eye is dim. Delry, where thronged s,—and the tearful wail ward where erst the song sounded. It pass'd o'er sword, and spear, and shield, mid-day,—and the strength ever'd, and the grass, of carnage, waves above dering skeleton. It came, th of mist at eve; the viewless air, Mr. and Mrs. F A. Yungbluth entertained members of the Four-Four Club at their East Broadway residence on Tuesday evening. The gentleman's prize, a handsome pocket knife, was captured by F. A. Yungbluth, while the lady's prize, a beautiful sachet bag, fell to the lot of Mrs. Arthur Lewis. Dainty refreshments were served just before the hour of 12, and the end of the old year and the beginning of the new were spent in feasting and making merry. All present had a most enjoyable time and look forward to many happy meetings of the club during the new year. Librado Terrones, a Mexican laborer, was drowned in a drainage ditch of the Delhi drainage district Monday afternoon. The man was intoxicated, fell into water about two and a half feet deep, and there drowned. Terrones and his family lived on Delhi road west of the river. Yesterday Terrones visited Mexicans at Delhi, and when he started home he was staggering drunk. About a mile west of Main street he fell into the ditch. A Mexican passing in a wagon saw his body in the ditch, went to the Southern California Sugar Company factory and telephoned to Santa Ana. City Marshal Jernigan, Constable Heard and Coroner Winbigler went to the place. The man had been dead about an hour. The Methodist Episcopal church, pastor, the Rev. C. H. M.

The meetings are steadily increasing in attendance GREAT POULTRY SHOW Madison Square Garden Exhibit Will Be Held in Los Angeles Next Week This will be the representative show of the West, the so-called Madison Square show of the coast because it is to the Pacific what the eastern show is to the Atlantic. The show opens at Fiesta Park, corner of Pico street and Grand avenue, January 8, and continues a full week. The enclosure has been increased in size about three times over what it was last season, giving ample space for all exhibits. Board walks have been laid before the coops and the lights have been more than doubled which should make the evenings as light as day. The exhibit will be a representative one in every sense of the word, coming as it does after nearly all of the other minor shows have been held. This brings winners against winners and the birds that get the ribbons at this show surely gain glory enough for their owners. In spite of the slight depression the industry has felt throughout the state during the past year, the entries for the 1913 show are larger than to any other show ever held in the state. The management has also made a special effort in the interests of the utility part of the industry, offering good cash prizes for the best eggs in cases, by the dozen, etc. Color, size, shape and other features to be considered. Many large pens consisting of a dozen hens and one male have been arranger for, the entires to which are open till January 7, as no judging will be done on these large utility pens. Each one can use them as an advertising medium for the sale of eggs for hatching and day-old chicks.

United States Bank Examiner·J. A. H. Kerr was in the city Monday, and spent the day looking over the books and accounts of the Anaheim National Bank. Mr. Kerr has a reputation of being a very rigid inspector and went over all business done in the local banking institution, examining every detail of system and management. Upon conclusion of his examination he passed very high compliments upon the bank's management, saying that he had no suggestion for the improvement of the system in use there, as it is the best he knows of, and the one he has been recommending for the past few years. He passed a very high compliment upon the well-kept system of bookkeeping and said the entire establishment was in a No. 1 condition. In the afternoon he was driven on a tour of inspection through the surrounding country, and expressed delight at prosperity everywhere apparent. He gave up a position in the east to make his home in Southern California and is gladder every day in the year that he made that choice.

It will be given by the Cosmopolitan Four, who are described as the most versatile company on the American stage. Their numbers include vocal and instrumental selections and other entertaining features. We bespeak for the company goodly attendance. POINTED PARAGRAPHS A woman who talks like a book isn't so easily shut up. The saloonkeeper always has plenty of fall goods on hand. One sure way to lose your friends is to become a chronic kicker. A statesman is a politician who can say nothing at the right time. Go to the gas meter, thou student, and learn to be a lightning calculator. No matter how young you are, you are probably old enough to know better. When any one says to a wise man, "Isn't that the best way?" he always says, "Yes." The weather is never too hot or too cold to discourage the man with a subscription paper. A man who is always complimenting a woman is an awful liar, and she knows it. Still, she believes him. HIGH SCHOOL FEATURE Most Versatile Company Will Be on Stage Here Next Week This company was organized and is booked to satisfy the demand for popular musical "stunts," in combination with music of a better grade, and at the same time offer many entertainment features for those whose first choice is not for a musical program.

They expect another carload of eight Ford touring cars the latter part of the week and four days later they expect another carload of Ford touring cars and roadsters and another carload of I. H. C. auto wagons, making five carloads in one month or 34 automobiles in all. They will have five Ford roadsters in their February 1st carload. Stockholders in the Sounthern County Bank met in special session in the bank building Thursday afternoon, with all stock represented. The most important action of the meeting was voting to increase the capital stock of the institution from $25,000 to $75,000. The bank will shortly be in its quarters in the entire lower floor of the present Nagel building, and with the increase in capital stock, will doubtless do a much increased business. The institution has made wonderful strides since being organized a short time ago and is fast coming to the fore as a bank of the first order.
