Mills, who has a faculty for heaving brickbats, on the least provocation, made the statement at the Board of Trade banquet on Thursday evening that the Gazette some years ago was opposed to bonding Orange county for the construction of good roads. If Brother Mills had been fair in his references to us, he would have said our opposition to a county bond issue was predicated upon the fact that the state had called an $18,000,000 bond election for highways throughout the commonwealth. We took the position that no county bonds should be voted until the state bond issue had been voted upon. With a state bond issue of $18,000,000 carried by the votes of the people, the portion of the fund coming to Orange county was in the neighborhood of half a million dollars. Had the county voted bonds at that time, Orange county would not have secured a penny from the state bond issue. To have voted county bonds at that time and not to have concluded the main highway through this county would have been out of the question, for no decision had been made as to the building of the state road through this county. We held the state highway should be constructed through this county and subsequent events have proved the cor- REPUBLICANS LEAD IN SAN FRANCISCO Progressives Hold Second Place But Are Far Behind The following are the latest registration figures for San Francisco: Republican .....2,236 Progressive .....1,660 Democrat .....1,559 Socialist .....252 Decline to state .....158 Union Labor .....81 Prohibitionist .....19 Social Labor .....2 Republican registration continues to increase its enormous lead. It is now 10,000 ahead of the Progressive lists in the few localities heard from and nearly equals the combined totals of the Progressives and Democrats. With these figures on everybody's tongue the political atmosphere around Republican headquarters is vibrant with enthusiasm. An experienced political war horse in discussing these figures said: "Remember how the Progressives held a meeting here a few weeks ago, declared we were dead, proceeded to hold the last sad rites and then instructed their followers to get out and rustle for an early registration—to 'hit the line hard'? They did, and here, with the books open only two weeks, we kick back over 10,000 more live ones than they have mustered." Continuing, he discussed the speech that Governor Johnson made in Oakland the other night, and said: "It is an axiom in politics that, when an officeholder or a has-been politician is seeking re-election at the hands of the people, and discovers from the handwriting on the wall that defeat has thrown a shadow over his aspirations, he cogitates on what sort of a policy or announcement he will make." was in the neighborhood of half a million dollars. Had the county voted bonds at that time, Orange county would not have secured a penny from the state bond issue. To have voted county bonds at that time and not to have concluded the main highway through this county would have been out of the question, for no decision had been made as to the building of the state road through this county. We held the state highway should be constructed through this county and subsequent events have proved the correctness of our position. Had we voted bonds for a county road system, we should have paid for our own roads ourselves, and also paid for constructing roads in other counties. This was the reason impelling us to oppose a county bond issue at that time, as Brother Mills should have stated if he had been fair, and had not have been accrued by a desire to heave a brickbat. After the state bonds had carried, and the state highway through Orange county had been included in the system of state highways, we favored the issuance of county bonds. This was the course pursued by many counties in the state. To have voted bonds for a county highway system while a state bond issue was pending would have cost this county a half million dollars more for roads than under present conditions. Orange county is receiving its share of the state road money, and we are constructing laterals by our county bond issue. This seems to us to be good business policy. If we mistake not, Brother Mills was himself actively opposed to a county bond issue for roads at the same time the Gazette opposed the measure. He will probably recall a meeting at Buena Park about this time, at which he opposed the issuance of county bonds for good roads. We opposed the bond issue at this time also. We stood for a square deal for the northern end of the county, and this did not seem to be greatly in evidence. We also opposed a bond issue at this time for the reasons already given, and we submit that our position has been proven to be correct by events leading up to our splendid highway system. "New Ones" every week Watch this space : VOTE FOR THE BONDS On Tuesday, January 27, the citizens of Anaheim will decide at the polls two questions which have long been discussed—the establishment of a public park and the inauguration of an adequate fire department. There is little doubt that a large majority of the voters favor both propositions and will vote overwhelmingly for the bond issue, but there is also an opposition and it would be unwise for the electors favoring civic improvements to neglect to vote. Twenty thousand dollars of this money, should the bonds carry, will be expended in purchasing a site and converting it into a beautiful park where the people can assemble for recreation and where visitors within our gates can find a resting place. This is one of the most important improvements ever under consideration by Anaheim citizens. Many complaints have been with the books open only two weeks, we kick back over 10,000 more live ones than they have mustered." Continuing, he discussed the speech that Governor Johnson made in Oakland the other night, and said: "It is an axiom in politics that, when an officeholder or a has-been politician is seeking re-election at the hands of the people, and discovers from the handwriting on the wall that defeat has thrown a shadow over his aspirations, he cogitates on what sort of a policy or announcement he will make to head it off. As a rule, he begins to holler before he is hurt, and tries to pose as a martyr to somebody raising great sums of money to encompass his defeat. "The governor, in his little office in Sacramento, figured that he would use the old, played-out allegations, that millions of money were being raised in this state, and, by way of an addition, throughout the country, to defeat him. Bosh! No one believes it for a minute, not even himself. Nobody is raising any money, and no one seems to be deeply enough interested to even mention it. "Another one of his brain fancies is that some people are going to whisper, and he cautions his followers to beware of the man or woman who whispers. Funny, isn't it? What are they going to whisper, and what human being, man or woman, is afraid to express his or her political ideas? The whole statement was bunk. "The politician says the fact is the great Republican party was the party which elected Johnson governor. He has started a party of his own, which he calls the Progressive-Johnson party—the party of an individual. "Men with progressive ideas know that the only way to accomplish them is within the lines of their own party; that a side issue in the state of California alone will accomplish nothing. Progressive ideas can just as well be incorporated in the platform of the great Republican party, and, with its great power and following throughout this whole country, can be successfully carried through, if it is the will of the majority." Slim—So you're on the water wagon! Shorty—Yes, but I'm going to give my seat to a lady. She—Are you fond of hair-raising stories? He—No! I've heard too many from every barber in town.

HEYING'S PHARMACY 129 West Center St. "It pleases us to please you" Twenty thousand dollars of this money, should the bonds carry, will be expended in purchasing a site and converting it into a beautiful park where the people can assemble for recreation and where visitors within our gates can find a resting place. This is one of the most important improvements ever under consideration by Anaheim citizens. Many complaints have been registered by strangers forced to spend a day or a few hours in the city because they could find no place to rest. Fifteen thousand dollars will be used in erecting an engine house and purchasing an up-to-date fire-fighting apparatus. No person will deny the wisdom of this proposition as the present equipment is not commensurate with the needs of the city. MANY SHIPS IN PARADE Six of the nations invited to take part in the great naval procession, which will start at Hampton Roads and cruise by way of the Panama Canal to the Golden Gate next year, have formally notified the State Department of their acceptance. They are the Argentine Republic, France, Germany, Great Britain, Portugal and Japan. It is not doubted that when the time comes all of the maritime nations of the world will be represented in the line. The plans of the Navy Department call for the appearance in line of about 100 warships, 68 of them under foreign flags. The powers having great navies are invited to send each four ships and those with lesser naval establishment to contribute two each. The date for the assembling of this international fleet has not been fixed, but under the terms of the act of Congress it must be early in 1915, and as the voyage from Hampton Roads to San Francisco will consume at least one month, the start must be made by the middle of January if the fleet is to reach San Francisco in time for the opening of the Panama-Pacific Exposition February 20. The district voted three months ago, but the was such that no bid until recently; and the first bid that was at Supervisor Leck was member of the Board because he as a Tustin representative of the work hard to get action though conditions Boarder—Why did they me two eggs?

WHAT so tempting to the laggard appetite as a light, flaky, fruit short cake or a delicate hot biscuit? Royal makes the perfect short cake, biscuit and muffin, and improves the flavor and healthfulness of all risen flour-foods. It renders the biscuit, hot-bread and short cake more digestible and nutritious, at the same time making them more attractive and appetizing. Royal Baking Powder is indispensable for the preparation all the year round of perfect foods. LESS OF CLOTHING ADVICE OF SCIENCE Boston, Jan. 20.—Shades of Eve! In the very teeth of the bitter criticism of the peek-a-boo waist, the diaphanous and slit skirt and the sometimes more than half-back decolette, comes a mere man timorous enough to declare that women wear too many clothes. Professor Charles Zueblin, famous scientist and lecturer of Worcester, contends that the human race would be healthier, happier and more moral if women wore fewer clothes. "The best garment for each sex," said Professor Zueblin today, "is a one-piece pair of rompers. If custom inexorably dictates the addition of skirts for growing young girls, they can still wear bloomers. The elimination of skirts is obviously in process now. Petticoats have been abandoned, temporarily at least, and the slit skirt gives promise of a skirtless costume in the future. And the savings on skirt materials and petticoats makes expensive silk stockings available for a multitude of women. What economic possibilities the skirtless costume holds. Instead of being immoral, the slit skirt is a token of woman's emancipation from sex subjection. If ultra-conservative people are shocked and ultravulgar people are ribald, it is because both prefer the subjection of women. "Incidentally, the corset is losing its tyranalical hold, with the result that women's figures, when fully clothed, more nearly resemble the normal figure. The present vogue of scant clothing, if it can be continued, will inevitably result in women having better figures, because deceit is impossible in the diaphanous gowns. The alleged danger to health by less clothing for the body will be abundantly cared for by superior circulation of the blood, better appetite and more normal sleep. Oxford ties, pumps and thin silk stockings on healthy women lead to such a circulation of blood that they may be warmer than in the past. Decolette costumes, when not extreme, are appropriate in all but the severest weather, if the wearers are in normal BIG TREES LOCATED Forest Supervisor Bigelow, of Nevada City, has accurately located the North Grove of Big Trees, in what, if surveyed, would be the southwest one-quarter of section 18, township 14 north, range 13 east, M.D.M., in Placer county about ten miles east of Michigan Bluff on the headwaters of Mosquito Creek which is a tributary of the Middle Fork of American River. This grove, which was first reported in 1893, consists of only six trees, four small and two large ones. The large trees are 108 and 120 inches in diameter at breast height. This little group is of particular interest since it is fully 50 miles north of the next group south and is the most northerly outpost of this giant tree. The survey shows that these trees are in government ownership which means that they will be retained for the people. Because of the limited range of this species and its great aesthetic value, the forest service does not sell big tree stumpage. This is the only species of timber tree occurring in the national forests of California which is not for sale. "Do I understand you to say," asked the judge, "that his remarks were acrimonious?" "No, judge, your honor, I didn't say that. I said he just swore at me. I ain't a-goin' to claim that he done what he didn't do."

The Tustin school bonds have been sold at last. Wm. R. Staats Company of Los Angeles, well known bond buyers, today bid par and accrued interest for the $50,000 issue, and an abstract of the proceedings will be furnished that firm at once. There is little fear but that the bonds are valid, and that the buyers will approve the proceedings and take the bonds. The district voted the bonds several months ago, but the money market was such that no bids were received until recently; and the Staats was the first bid that was at all satisfactory. Supervisor Leck was the happiest member of the Board of Supervisors because he as a Tustin resident and representative of the fifth district has worked hard to get action on the matter though conditions were adverse.
