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. CHARLEY RUDDOCK, THEODORE LACY AND ROSARIO SAIZ The editor of the Santa Ana Bulletin gets a cramp because we said a kindly word for Sheriff Ruddock in our last week's issue. The Bulletin editor along with other Democratic wiseacres is planning to defeat Sheriff Ruddock at next year's primaries but they will probably have their labor for their pains, for Ruddock, being the most capable sheriff ever in office in Orange county, is invincible before the people, and cannot be defeated by any Democrat now maintained in cotton-batting. Probably the Bulletin scribe lines himself up with other Democratic chieftains in a desire to trot out Theodore Lacy as a Democratic candidate for sheriff next year. Now, Lacy is personally a very good man, we have no doubt, but as sheriff of Orange county and an officer committed to enforcement of the laws, he was during his administration about as efficacious as the pictures of Lydia Pinkham which we see upon the bill boards—no more, no less, take our word for it. Lacy, while sheriff four years ago, was seized upon and locked in a cell by the des- a cell so ignominously went across the border and brought the Mexican desperado back? We say the people are for Charley Ruddock, first, last and all the time. There is no comparison between these two men as peace officers. Ruddock ranks among the notable peace officers of the state, a natural born detective and peace officer, while Lacy is nothing but a reminiscence and a memory, and a blooming poor memory at that. We remember him as a man whom Saiz locked in the county jail. We know Ruddock to be the man who brought Saiz back and lodged him in the state penitentiary. Who are the people going to elect sheriff next year, Ruddock or Lacy? We say Ruddock, first, last and all the time. BUENA PARK NOTES The August meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was quite interesting, and there was quite an attendance considering the fact that many are away at beaches and in the mountains for their annual vacation. Many interesting reports were received from various committees. An arrangement was completed for having 5,000 booklets printed to use in the Los Angeles and Santa Ana, Orange county, display in the Chamber of Commerce, a committee was appointed to take over the street lighting contract from the Ladies' Mutual Aid, leaving them free to lend their energies toward building up a good circulating library and reading room for the Park and surrounding country. After business was concluded a fine musical program was rendered chieftains in a desire to trot out Theodore Lacy as a Democratic candidate for sheriff next year. Now, Lacy is personally a very good man, we have no doubt, but as sheriff of Orange county and an officer committed to enforcement of the laws, he was during his administration about as efficacious as the pictures of Lydia Pinkham which we see upon the bill boards—no more, no less, take our word for it. Lacy, while sheriff four years ago, was seized upon and locked in a cell by the desperado Saiz, and his confederate Macias one Sunday afternoon, as Lacy was in the act of unlocking the inner door of the county jail to release a woman missionary who had been holding services for the convicts therein. This was probably the most ignominious predicament ever experienced by a peace officer in this county. As Lacy unlocked the inner door leading to the corridor Saiz sprang upon him, bearing him down to the floor, and with the assistance of Macias thrusting him into a cell and turning the lock in the door behind them. Saiz and his confederate escaped to the street and made their get-away thence into a neighboring orchard, where they were reasonably safe from pursuit, and all the while the sheriff of Orange county remained securely locked in a cell at the county jail. They made their way to the Mexican line without molestation on the part of the sheriff's office and escaped into the lower country. Saiz had murdered a Mexican at Sunset Beach some years before and had had no difficulty whatever in making his way across the Mexican border while Lacy and his force of deputies sought in vain nearer home for him. Saiz was later brought back by a Mexican deputy sheriff and turned over to Lacy at the county jail. He later turned the tables on Lacy, locked that estimable gentleman in a steel cell at the county jail and made his escape again across the border into Mexico. It was not until Charley Ruddock came into office as sheriff a year or more later that an active campaign for the recovery of Saiz was undertaken. Saiz was subsequently taken prisoner at Ensanada, and was brought back to this county by Sheriff Ruddock, who lodged him in the county jail. He was tried in the Superior Court on a charge of murder, convicted and sentenced to state prison for life. He was taken to San Quentin by Ruddock and turned over to the warden of the penitentiary where he now remains safely under lock and key. Who are the people of Orange county going to elect as sheriff next year— Saiz was subsequently taken prisoner at Ensanada, and was brought back to this county by Sheriff Ruddock, who lodged him in the county jail. He was tried in the Superior Court on a charge of murder, convicted and sentenced to state prison for life. He was taken to San Quentin by Ruddock and turned over to the warden of the penitentiary where he now remains safely under lock and key. Who are the people of Orange county going to elect as sheriff next year—Charley Ruddock, the captor of this Mexican desperado Saiz, who brought him back from Ensenada and later on safely lodged him behind bars at the state penitentiary, or Theodore Lacy, whom Saiz locked in the county jail while he and his confederate made their escape therefrom and got safely away, over the intervening one hundred miles of territory between this county and Tia Juana? It is pretty generally conceded that these two men will go before the people of Orange county for their suffrage next year. Either Theodore Lacy will be the Democratic nominee for sheriff or, feeling the humiliation of having been locked in a cell by Rosario Saiz, is too much for the stomachs of the people of the county, he will dictate the name of the Democratic nominee to make the race against Ruddock. Lacy has hitherto dictated the policy of Democratic conventions in this county, and is probably today the strongest man politically in the Democratic party in the county. Is he again to dictate his nomination as sheriff, or will he say to the people whom they shall support in his efforts to defeat the man who took his measure in the last county campaign. Are the people of the county going to permit Lacy to come back as sheriff, are they going to permit him to dictate the next occupant of the office, or are they going to stand by Charley Ruddock, the man who was never locked in a cage by a Mexican desperado and who, after Saiz had escaped from Lacy, locking the latter in quite seriously ill. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Wierbach have returned from their summer outing. Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Watson are visiting in Corona, their old home. Opening of the cannery in the Park may be delayed for a week or two beyond the time designated, as the gentleman promoting the enterprise has been quite seriously ill. The Ladies' Mutual Aid will hold their first meeting following the summer vacation on Thursday, September 4th, 2 P.M., at the home of Mrs. W. J. Cole. A full attendance is expected as business of importance will be transacted. This association of women took up the work of paying for street lights about four years ago, and have successfully carried it on. Now the Chamber of Commerce proposes to continue this work and allow the ladies to bend their energy, and spend their money, on something equally beneficial to the community. They will do it too, as this society is not very far away from its 30th anniversary and has always had a fine record. In riding over the lands of Orange county the writer's attention has been drawn to the superabundance, of tall weeds lining the roadway. Am not thoroughly posted regarding California laws governing such things, but the attention of our legislators should be called to this evil and all owners of property should be compelled to keep the borders of their places entirely free of weeds. It is a crying shame and disgrace as it is now, and should be remedied. In looking back over the last notation made, I wish to add a word more. There are many beautiful places, homes and ranches splendidly kept, but far too many where one can see more weeds than anything else. No wonder our alfalfa fields have to be renewed every two or three years, when Canadian thistles, Russian thistles and all the balance of the weeds are allowed to flourish. This is one of the curses of California farming and cannot be remedied too soon. A jolly entertainment given at the home Green Wednesday brother Frank Greene from Ohio.

At the beginning of the present session of Congress, an amendment was added to the tariff bill preventing the importation of feathers, quills, heads, wings, tails, skins, or parts of skins, of wild birds, either raw or manufactured, which were not used either for scientific or educational purposes. This provision did not apply to the feathers or plumes of ostriches or to the feathers of domestic fowls of any kind. This amendment passed the House of Representatives and would pass the Senate had the wholesale milliners not brought enough influence to change the Senate Committee on Finance. The passage of this amendment would be IN AND ABOUT THE CITY Mrs. A. Witman is visiting her parents in Pomona this week. Harry Whitaker and Henry Hanson witnessed the Santa Monica races last Saturday, and saw Earl Cooper defeat the great Barney Oldfield. Miss Amy Chase, of Pasadena, is spending the week with her mother, Mrs. P. T. Chase, in Anaheim. Miss Chase is a nurse in the Pasadena hospital. Charley Brandenberg has enlisted 14 men in his life and drum corps, and has now one of the most efficient organizations of the southland. The corps will entertain friends at a social hop to be given at Eagles' hall next Saturday evening and all the beaux and bells in town are expected to be present. Wickersheim Implement Co., Fullerton, delivered Ford roadsters last week to C. D. Anderson, Kenneth C. Tate, G. E. Swartzfager, F. G. Gillespie of Fullerton, and touring cars to O. A. Kreighbaum, C. W. Coman, R. A. Speicher, A. L. Walling of Fullerton and C. A. Clark of Brea, making a total of nine Ford cars for the week and 19 for the past two weeks. NEW RECORD FOR SUGAR IMPORTS Increase in Last Fiscal Year of 250,000 Tons, But Decrease in Value More sugar was brought into continental United States in the fiscal year NUMEROUS BOYS AT CAMP WILKIE 140 Y. M. C. A. Youngsters Enjoying the Outing on Catalina Island Avalon, Cal., Aug. 11, 1913. Camp Wilkie is in good running order, but everyone is so busy that it is hard to get anyone to write newspaper articles. We have the biggest camp ever held out here, 115 boys, 17 leaders, four secretaries, two cooks, a doctor, and a physical director, making a total of 140. Of these 55 are from Orange county, 43 from San Bernardino county, and 35 from Los Angeles county. Mr. Ruenitz, the group county work secretary of the Y. M. C. A. for Southern California, is in charge of the camp, Mr. Gummere, secretary of the Los Angeles county Y. M. C. A. is in charge of all meetings, the Bible classes, the chapel, and the evening bonfire. Mr. Hartwig, secretary of San Bernardino county Y. M. C. A., is in charge of the athletic and educational work, and Mr. Hamilton, secretary of Orange county Y. M. C. A., is in charge of the commissary and equipment. Our two Japanese cooks are taking good care of their department, and the boys are enjoying their eats regularly three times a day. The boys have two swimming periods a day and a dip before breakfast. Twenty-three boys are in the beginner's swimming class and each one has a special teacher who is working hard to teach his pupil to swim. A surprisingly large number are already swimmers. Many of these are working for the special button to be given there. NEW RECORD FOR SUGAR IMPORTS Increase in Last Fiscal Year of 250,000 Tons, But Decrease in Value More sugar was brought into continental United States in the fiscal year just ended than in any other year in the history of the country, according to the latest figures of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, Department of Commerce. The quantity of sugar entering from foreign countries and our own islands in the year ended June 30, 1913, was 6½ billion pounds and exceeded by 500 million pounds the figures of the former high-record year, 1912, when the imports from foreign countries and the islands were, in round terms, 6 billion pounds. Of the 6½ billion pounds brought in during 1913, 41-3 billions came from Cuba, 1 billion from Hawaii, three-quarters of a billion from Porto Rico, nearly a quarter of a billion from the Philippines, and the remainder chiefly from South America. Java, which has in some years sent us as much as 1 billion pounds of sugar, sent but 13 million pounds in 1913; while the quantity from Europe, chiefly beet sugar, was 182 million pounds, against but 6½ million in 1912, but being materially less than in certain earlier years, the total quantity of beet sugar imported in 1901 having been 908,683,078 pounds, and in 1897, 1,865,567,495 pounds. In value, however, the year's receipts of sugar fell nearly 30 million dollars below those of last year, despite the fact that the quantity received was 500 million pounds greater. The total value of sugar imported from foreign countries during the fiscal year 1913 was $104,639,823; and of that coming from Hawaii, $36,607,820; from Porto Rico, $26,619,158; and from the Philippines, $4,593,199; the latter, however, being included in the figures of imports from foreign countries. The average value per pound of the sugar imported from foreign countries in the fiscal year 1913 was 2.2 cents, against 2.81 cents in 1912, 2.46 cents in 1911, and 2.6 cents in 1910. These figures, which show that the sugar imported in 1913 exceeded that of any other year, suggest that the sugar consumption of the United States in 1913 will be larger than ever before and will, for the first time, exceed 8 billion pounds. The quantity brought from foreign countries is about 4% billion pounds and from cars for the week and 19 for the past two weeks. The boys have two swimming periods a day and a dip before breakfast. Twenty-three boys are in the beginner's swimming class and each one has a special teacher who is working hard to teach his pupil to swim. A surprisingly large number are already swimmers. Many of these are working for the special button to be given those who can swim 50 yards, also 50 feet on the back, and be able to dive. Last year 24 boys learned to swim here. A large number are trying to win their honor emblems, and are doing things in athletics, aquatics, woodcraft, scouting, Bible study, etc. This system makes the matter of discipline comparatively an easy matter, and gives every boy an opportunity to develop along the line in which he is most interested, at the same time requiring him to spread his interests over a number of departments. Each tent of seven boys and the leader takes its turn waiting on table, hauling waster from the well, washing dishes, cleaning tents, etc. R. J. HAMILTON. Wanted Salesmen The LAKEVIEW IRRIGATED FARMS, which is about to be placed upon the market, is the famous old Nuevo Rancho, in the Lakeview-Perris Valleys. I want one high grade farm land salesman to work in this territory, representing this property. Many of the farmers in your community appreciate the value of good, cheap land in this Perris-Lakeview section, and this property only needs to be called to their attention, for you to be able to interest a great many. When you appreciate that good agricultural land, in the valley of Southern California, about 3½ hours' ride from Los Angeles, can be had for $200.00 an acre, with a good water right, you will realize how unusually attractive this is and how it will particularly appeal to farmers in Southern California, who know of the wonderful advance in values good farm lands have made in the past few years. Understand, this is not land to be sold to the stranger, using the attractive "balt" of "$10.00 a month." This land is for farmers who know good land and can afford to pay for it, and in offering it at $200.00 an acre (on terms of one-quarter cash; balance in one, two and three years). CHURCH NOTICES CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SOCIETY Christian Science services Sunday morning at 11; Sunday school at 9:45; Wednesday evening testimonial meeting at 7:45. Reading room open from 3 to 5 P.M. on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and from 7 to 9 P.M. on Tuesday and Thursday. Church corner of Chartres and Hedwig streets. EPISCOPAL CHURCH St. Michael's Episcopal church, corner Adele and Emily streets, Rev. D. T. Gillmor rector. Services, Sunday, August 17th, the 13th Sunday after Trinity, will be: Holy communion 8 A.M.; Bible school and adult classes 9:45 A.M.; morning prayer, litany and sermon by the rector at 11, subject of sermon, "That Which Makes for Peace." No evening service. Both Sunday school and church services are well attended, and though the day may be warm, it is always comfortable in this church building. A cordial welcome awaits you. A jolly entertainment and party was given at the home of Miss Doreth Green Wednesday in honor of her brother Frank Green, recently arrived from Ohio. Dancing and general good time made up the evening, concluding with a good supper. The guests of the evening were Miss Doreth Green, hostess, and the Misses Ida Dice, Lucy Zeigler, Elsie Meineke, Etta Shindler, Aleida Heying and Mrs. Frank Green, Ray Adams, Claude Sleeper, Jack Burkart, Herman Meltcher and Ralph Cox.

M., Gazette office. realize how unusually attractive this is and how it will particularly appeal to farmers in Southern California, who know of the wonderful advance in values good farm lands have made in the past few years. Understand, this is not land to be sold to the stranger, using the attractive "bait" of "$10.00 a month." This land is for farmers who know good land and can afford to pay for it, and in offering it at $200.00 an acre, (on terms of one-quarter cash; balance in one, two and three years), we would have been unable to establish this price, if we had resorted to the very low terms on which so many of the properties are offered. When you realize that the State of Iowa is seventeen times larger than the Valley of Southern California, and that the state of Iowa is only one of the forty-eight states in the United States, and that every state is sending its delegates to Los Angeles, it is a simple matter to arrive at the future value of good farm land in the valley of Southern California. The farmers in your community, who can sell out today for $500.00 and $600.00 an acre can go onto our land and repeat the same thing in a very few years. Understand, I want good, substantial, honest farm land salesmen, who have a record for fair dealings, and can present my property in such a manner that I will not have to apologize for any of their statements. If you are in this class and think that you are able to sell a property such as I describe, take this matter up with me in writing. I am going to publish an attractive booklet of pictures, that is not going to exaggerate in any particular. I expect to sell all this land to farmers in Southern California. I could not say more for what I think of it, for were it indifferent land, we would then be compelled to appeal only to tourists. Write me, telling me what your experience has been and giving me some reference. JAMES R. H. WAGNER, G31 So. Spring, Los Angeles, Calif.
