REPUBLICANS LEADING IN THE STATE HEAVY GAINS IN REGISTRATION THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE COMMONWEALTH PROGRESSIVES LOSING GROUND IN EVERY COUNTY, ACCORDING TO RETURNS. Reports from registration offices of 17 of the larger cities of the state indicate that before the first month of registration has passed, Republican registration in the large centers of population will exceed the combined registration of Democrats and Progressives. The middle of this month found the total figures from the 17 cities as follows: Republican, 25,844; Progressive, 17,068; Democratic, 11,640. At that time the Republican registration was but 2,864 short of equalling the combined Progressive and Democratic registration and reports were generally to the effect that the Republican gain was steady, even in Alameda county, the stronghold of the Bull Moose. The Los Angeles figures for the first half month of registration upset all political calculations. At that time Republican registration was already in excess of the combined Progressive and Democratic registration. The figures were: Republican 8,962; Progressive, 4,673; Democratic, 4,080. The Democrats were leading the Progressives in San Diego county, with Republicans in advance by thousands. Thirty-two hundred fifty-four Republicans had registered, against 699 Progressives and 1,314 Democrats. The figures in San Jose were: Republican, 1,168; Progressive, 543; Democratic, 464. Stockton showed Republican registration far in the lead with 803 registrations against 191 Progressive and 568 Democratic registration. Only 50 voters had registered as CALIFORNIA OIL FOR FOREIGN PORTS Line of Steamers Running Between San Pedro and European Cities An epoch in the exportation of oil from Southern California, which undoubtedly will grow to great proportions, was marked by the arrival of the new British tank steamer De Sabla on her maiden voyage from Newcastle-on-the-Tyne. The De Sabla is the first of a fleet of four great tank steamers to arrive on the Pacific coast and which will make San Pedro harbor their home port. The four tankers will carry California oil to the four corners of the earth for the General Petroleum Company. All are named after directors of the company. The Barneson has just been completed and the Sloss and Colgate are now being built. All the steamers are designed on the same lines. The De Sabla is 460 feet in length and has a capacity of 60,000 barrels of oil. She will discharge a surplus of bunker coal here and load oil, either here or at Port San Luis, for South American ports. About four days will first be required to install oil burners under her boilers. While the General Petroleum Company has shipped a few cargos of oil off shore in vessels chartered from the Union Oil Company, and done considerable coastwise business, the service of its own steamers and the advent of the company as a factor in the world's distribution of oil will be marked by the arrival of the De Sabla. Andrew Weir, the London shipowner, and R. Tilden Smith, who represent the English group of capitalists who are financing the General Petroleum Company, are expected in San Pedro soon to inspect the new steamer. They will return to Los Angeles from San Francisco, where the General Petroleum Company was reorganized. While Weir and Smith were unsuccessful in negotiating a new option upon the control of the Union Oil Company, after several weeks' negotiations, several deals were negotiated that have an important bearing upon the production of oil in Southern California. One is a contract with the Union for 500,000 to 600,000 barrels of oil to be delivered through the pipe. MANY COUNTRY BUY STATE BONDS ALMOST SIX MILLION OF HIGHWAY ISSUES TO DATE ORANGE COUNTY HAS IN $200,000 WORTH ASSESSMENT A five-million and a half-antee of faith in the value highway system has been the state by 29 counties that described bonds in excess of to insure the construction greasing to meet the den Panama-Pacific international. The highway bonds, best at 4 per cent, and which law, must be sold at par interest, were suffering from market when the highway appealed to the supervisory counties. The response was in addition to $5,719,500 commission now has a more in sight from similar is stated. In return for this co-commission has agreed to money within the county the bond sales. As the state highway, the savings ties in maintenance in every instance will be an first year, it is claimed, citation losses which the stand to make the bonds depreciation has average per cent. In a statement given the state highway commute the following subscriptions by counties to date: Los Angeles San Diego Alameda Solano Contra Costa McDONALD-KEY NUPTIALS A quiet wedding occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. B. Key, of Placentia, Wednesday, January 21st, when their daughter, Miss Sarah Elizabeth Key, became the bride of J. C. McDonald, the Rev. W. E. Sloan, officiating. The home was very artistically decorated. The library, where the ceremony was performed being turned into a veritable garden of pale yellow accacia blooms, ferns and palms. The dining room, where light refreshments were served, was decorated with orange blossoms, violets and foliage. At 4 o'clock the soft strains of the wedding march were heard, and soon the bridal party entered. The dainty little flower girls, Bernie Wright and Virginia May Wright, led the way, followed by the bride's sister, Mrs. John Sprauge. Then came the bride, looking very lovely in her beautiful white satin gown and filmy veil. All through the ceremony and during the reception sweet music was rendered by Miss Morgan, violinist, and her accompanist. Only immediate relatives were present. After a short honeymoon the young couple will be home to their numerous friends at their new bungalow in Placentia. RADIUM SURE CURE Radium was described to the House Committee on Mines at Washington as the only cure the medical world has discovered for cancer—the disease for which no cause has been found and which the experts before the committee labeled a rebel against all the laws that govern human tissues. The witnesses were Dr. Howard Kelly of Baltimore, Dr. Robert Abbe of New York, Director Gaylord of the New York State Institution for the Study of Malignant Diseases and Dr. C. F. Burnham of Johns Hopkins University. All the doctors agreed that the crying need in their work was more radium, of which there is less than two grams in reduced form now in the United States. Discussing the case of Representative Bremner of New Jersey were: Republican 8,962; Progressive, 4,673; Democratic, 4,080. The Democrats were leading the Progressives in San Diego county, with Republicans in advance by thousands. Thirty-two hundred fifty-four Republicans had registered, against 699 Progressives and 1,314 Democrats. The figures in San Jose were: Republican, 1,168; Progressive, 543; Democratic, 464. Stockton showed Republican registration far in the lead with 803 registrations against 191 Progressive and 568 Democratic registration. Only 50 voters had registered as Progerssives at Hanford, while 181 registered as Republican, and 70 as Democratic. That Republican sentiment is overwhelmingly progressive is plainly shown by the volume and tone of the letters being received daily at the Republican progressive reorganization headquarters here. MONTANA RESIDENTS HEADED THIS WAY A Large Delegation Arrives From Northwest, Warmly Welcomed by Old Neighbors Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Simpson left on Monday for San Diego, where they will spend a few days' visit with former friends from Montana who have recently arrived in Southern California in large numbers. Mr. Simpson was in Los Angeles on Friday afternoon to meet the in-coming Montanans, of whom there were 256, traveling in a special train over the Salt Lake road. The welcoming delegation of former Montanans now resident in Southern California numbered 300, and Mr. Simpson met scores of his old-time friends and associates. He also met many former residents of that state who have been living in Southern California for a number of years and who he believed were still at the old home in the Northwest. He states that many of the new arrivals will undoubtedly locate in Southern California, and hopes to land a bunch of them in this vicinity. BRYAN'S KRINKLIE TROUSERS There seems to be no end to the troubles of the Secretary of State. What with the Chautauqua lectures, the uproar in Mexico, and the unwillingness of the Chinese to be evangelized one would have thought that the Sartorial Art Journal might well have stayed its devastating hand until a more propitious moment. Evidently we must not expect chivalry from a tailor. It seems that Mr. Bryan's trousers are in a very unsatisfactory condition. His coat and overcoat are passable. There is character in them, especially when Mr. Bryan has them on, and they bear evidence of "first-class workmanship." But the trousers! The sartorial art writer seems to have his doubts if they are actually entitled to that name. In a statement given the state highway commute following subscription by counties to date: Los Angeles San Diego Alameda Solano Contra Costa Colusa San Luis Obispo Santa Clara Glenn Kern San Mateo Orange Imperial Fresno Marin Sacramento Santa Barbara Tuolumne El Dorado San Bernardino Riverside Humboldt Stanislaus Santa Cruz Siskiyou Monterey Mendocino San Benito Shasta The commission belied this co-operation, the San Diego to San Francisco nearly completed by the 1915 exposition as we north from San Francisco to the West Sacramento on from Red Bluff to Benidormable part of the akersfield to Red Bluff, ramango and Marysville.

The witnesses were Dr. Howard Kelly of Baltimore, Dr. Robert Abbe of New York, Director Gaylord of the New York State Institution for the Study of Malignant Diseases and Dr. C. F. Burnham of Johns Hopkins University. All the doctors agreed that the crying need in their work was more radium, of which there is less than two grams in reduced form now in the United States. Discussing the case of Representative Bremner of New Jersey, who is undergoing radium treatment in Baltimore, Dr. Kelly declared he felt certain a cure could be effected if more radium were available, and as it was the patient showed encouraging symptoms and he was not hopeless. He said no arrangement for concentrating the radium supply for such an emergency could be made in justice to thousands of other patients. Dr. Kelly added that his associates were at work to discover a process for the reduction of radium from the ores of Colorado. But one concern now furnished radium to the medical profession, he said, and its formula for reduction is held secret. The committee will meet again Wednesday. BANTAM SHOW The first bantam and aviary show ever held in California was given under the management of the Orange County Bantam and Aviary Club at Santa Ana last week. About 400 bantams, canaries, parrots, pigeons, finches and other birds were put on exhibition. Birds were received from various parts of the state. Sixty-four bantams were sent by a fancier of Cincinnati, O., and four bantams by a New Jersey fancier. The plumage of the pets is in perfect condition, and the judges found the birds scoring high. The show is to continue until Saturday night. The club in giving this unusual exhibition had subscriptions from the city trustees, and the board of supervisors. Joe Espinoza, a Mexican who served part of a term in the county jail, has been taken back, and has another term to serve. He got away from the rock-pile gang, and for that he was sentenced to 30 days in jail. FRAUD IS O Charging that he taken advantage of get her signature to deed and to get pooled Mrs. E. A.

Martinez, found some corn and swine the Walker ranch was fined $20 by Ju MANY COUNTIES BUY STATE BONDS ALMOST SIX MILLION DOLLARS OF HIGHWAY ISSUE SOLD TO DATE ORANGE COUNTY HAS INVESTED IN $200,000 WORTH OF ITS ASSESSMENT A five-million and a half dollar guarantee of faith in the value of the state highway system has been furnished the state by 29 counties that have subscribed bonds in excess of that amount to insure the construction work progressing to meet the demands of the Panama-Pacific international exposition. The highway bonds, bearing interest at 4 per cent, and which, under the law, must be sold at par and accrued interest, were suffering from lack of a market when the highway commission appealed to the supervisors of various counties. The response was quick, and in addition to $5,719,500 in sales, the commission now has a million dollars more in sight from similar sources, it is stated. In return for this co-operation, the commission has agreed to expend the money within the counties financing the bond sales. As the state maintains the highway, the saving to the counties in maintenance in practically every instance will be as great in the first year, it is claimed, as the depreciation losses which the counties must stand to make the bonds salable. The depreciation has averaged less than 5 per cent. In a statement given out recently, the state highway commission shows the following subscriptions of bonds by counties to date: Los Angeles ... $695,000 San Diego ... 557,000 Alameda ... 500,000 Solano ... 390,000 Contra Costa ... 300,000 IN AND ABOUT THE COUNTY Articles Filed Articles of incorporation have been filed by a second bank seeking to establish a banking business at La Habra. The new articles are by the Golden State Bank of La Habra. It has about 25 stockholders, $27,500 being subscribed, of which over $17,000 is by J. H. Cox of Whittier. The directors are Frank Milhous, O. L. Baldwin and Cox of Whittier, W. L. York, F. E. Proud and Clarence Glazier of La Habra and John Lehm of Corona. Negro Hobo Gets Three Years Willie Jackson denied in Justice Cox's court Friday that he broke open a Santa Fe car and stole 27 pairs of shoes. He went before Judge West on Saturday and pleaded guilty to the charge. He told the officers where the missing shoes were hidden. The prisoner, aged 21, is colored, born and raised in Salina, Kan. He said that for some time he had been living the life of a hobo. Judge West sentenced him to three years in San Quentin. Stanton School Problem During the past year the people living in and near the city of Stanton have been agitating the formation of a new school district. At first the proposition seemed difficult, owing to the fact that those interested were living within the extreme boundaries of three school districts—the Savanna, Magnolia and Alamitos. A solution of the problem seems imminent now, coming through a suggestion that a small portion of territory from the Magnolia and Alamitos districts be annexed to the Savanna district. Wedding Present The new house built by Mr. De Vaul, of Garden Grove, for his daughter, Viva, who is soon to be married to Frank Winters, is completed and is now being furnished. It is located near the De Vaul home on a 5-acre piece of land which goes with the house and is a gift from the parents of Miss De Vaul. The young people will attend the wedding. The couple will go on a trip and will return about January 31. Two Crops of Apples S. W. Elliott’s apple trees near Huntington Beach have ripened two crops of apples this season. Mr. Elliott took the apples to Huntington Beach and placed them on exhibit. The trees are young trees and showed the same tendency last year, but this season, even before the first crop of apples was stripped from the trees, blossoms began to appear. Just as an experiment, Mr. Elliott allowed nature to take its course, with the result that a fairly heavy crop, only a little inferior to the first, is just now ripening. The trees lost some of their leaves, according to schedule, in the fall, but new ones immediately replaced them. The fruit is somewhat smaller, but is of excellent flavor. Mr. Elliott explains the unusual phenomenon by the fact that the weather on the south coast has been 10 or 15 degrees cooler in the last three or four months than during the summer season. Thomas Dismisses Case It takes two to make a contract. That is the reason Judge Thomas gave judgment for neither of the parties in an action tried in his court. The plaintiff had a contract, and so did the defendant. The trouble was that the contract was not with each other. Thuet & Davis, nurserymen of La Habra, contracted to deliver 4,500 trees to W. J. Hole, and Hole made exactly the same contract to deliver 4,500 trees to the Roeding & Wood Nursery at La Habra. Roeding & Wood sued Thuet & Davis for $1,930, alleging non-delivery of trees. Thuet & Davis replied, asking judgment for $295 because trees that were offered were declined and for the care of those trees at one cent a month. The plaintiff asserted that Hole was their agent. When he went on the witness stand Hole declared he was not an agent and never had represented the Roeding & Wood Nursery. That settled the case. The judge said there was no contract between plaintiff and defendant. Landed In Jail Yesterday there was landed in the Orange county jail a man by the name of John C. Morris, wanted at Boulder, In a statement given out recently, the state highway commission shows the following subscriptions of bonds by counties to date: Los Angeles $695,000 San Diego 557,000 Alameda 500,000 Solano 390,000 Contra Costa 300,000 Colusa 290,000 San Luis Obispo 250,000 Santa Clara 228,000 Glenn 218,500 Kern 200,000 San Mateo 200,000 Orange 200,000 Imperial 200,000 Fresno 150,000 Marin 150,000 Sacramento 150,000 Santa Barbara 141,000 Tuolumne 125,000 El Dorado 150,000 San Bernardino 105,000 Riverside 100,000 Humboldt 100,000 Stanislaus 75,000 Santa Cruz 75,000 Siskiyou 50,000 Monterey 45,000 Mendocino 45,000 San Benito 25,000 Shasta 5,000 The commission believes that with this co-operation, the coast road from San Diego to San Francisco will be nearly completed by the opening of the 1915 exposition as well as the road north from San Francisco to Eureka, the West Sacramento Valley highway from Red Bluff to Benicia and a considerable part of the artery from Bakersfield to Red Bluff, via Fresno, Sacramento and Marysville. GRAND JURY VENIRE Superior Judges West and Thomas jointly have issued a venire of 35 that will be summoned to appear in the superior court next November, and from whom a grand jury of 19 will be drawn. Those on the venire are: D. L. Anderson, Santa Ana; Bruce Anson, Garden Grove; S. L. Blodgett, Huntington Beach; B. F. Bryan, Olinda-Brea; W. H. H. Clayton, Orange; S. M. Craddick, Orange; W. F.

H. Wessler, West Ana Wedding Present The new house built by Mr. De Vaul, of Garden Grove, for his daughter, Viva, who is soon to be married to Frank Winters, is completed and is now being furnished. It is located near the De Vaul home on a 5-acre piece of land which goes with the house and is a gift from the parents of Miss De Vaul. The young people will be married by Rev. Ashleigh in Redlands on Wednesday. About 25 of their friends will attend the wedding. The couple will go on a trip and will return about January 31. Many Visitors The Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce has issued an annual report showing that the organization accomplished more for the good of Santa Ana during 1913 than during any other year of its history. Secretary J. C. Metzgar stated that 40,000 people visited the Santa Ana exhibit during the year, most of them coming with the Triangle Trolley Trip daily excursions. Officers elected for 1914 are: W. A. Zimmermann, president; Fred Rafferty and G. B. Shattuck, vice-presidents; H. T. Rutherford, treasurer; J. C. Metzgar, secretary, and H. A. Gardner, representative on the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county. Lease on McComber Ranch By acquiring a lease on over 300 acres on the MacComber ranch, the California Petroleum Corporation has made its first appearance as a prospective oil operator. The lease is located about a mile from the scene of the Standard Oil Company's operations on the Emery ranch, and is regarded as very good prospect territory. Operations will be started in the immediate future on this tract. A portion of the territory leased was that secured recently from the MacComber people by L. E. H. de Sallier. Friend W. Cole, and associates, who are interested in the Southern California Oil Company. That concern is a holding company and still remains in existence. Will Raise More Chilis There seems to be a movement toward putting in a much larger acreage to chill peppers this season. It has been estimated that the acreage would be doubled. This may be too large an estimate but it is quite evident that there will be a large increase. Last season there was within the Graden Grove territory about 700 acres of peppers. This season there will probably be from 1,000 to 1,200 With the coming of the new dryer to Garden Grove where the time for drying the green product is cut down about one-half there is a new interest in this crop Many Japs are going into the chilis more extensively than ever It seems to be probable that before long there will be a canning factory in that section for the handling of home grown produce The chill pepper industry alone would seem to almost justify the erection of a plant. Leck Objects to Report Supervisor Leck has a small crow to pick with the late grand jury.The eding judgment for $295 because trees that were offered were declined and for the care of those trees at one cent a month The plaintiff asserted that Hole was their agent When he went on the witness stand Hole declared he was not an agent and never had represented the Roeding & Wood Nursery That settled the case The judge said there was no contract between plaintiff and defendant. Landed in Jail Yesterday there was landed in the Orange county jail a man by the name of John C. Morris wanted at Boulder Colo., for embezzling $2,400 from an Elks' lodge The arrest was the consummation of a search that lasted for months.C.B.SMITH,a deputy sheriff from Boulder who arrested Morris,said that $2,300 had been spent in hunting for Morris Smith took up the work after two private detective agencies had failed,and by clever work he located his man Smith came to Santa Ana about a month ago because he knew that friends of Morris were living here He could not locate them He wrote a letter from San Diego to one of them offering a good job in a hotel He secured an answer,and in that way located the friends He secured a room in the same house with them,and through them and without their knowledge as to what his business was he located Morris who was cooking in a restaurant in Los Angeles Smith brought the man here,and he has now started with him for Colorado Morris went with him without extradition papers. Supervisors Return All Bids For Material on Fullerton-Anaheim Road At the meeting of the Board of Supervisors last Tuesday no bids for construction of the road were received consequently the bids submitted for furnishing material were all returned to the bidders and the matter will have to be re-opened Demands on the hospital and highway funds were allowed as read The Tustin school district bonds were sold at private sale to Wm.R Staats Company for par and accrued interest. A resolution was adopted accepting Chapman avenue as a county road from Prospect avenue easterly one miles. Supervisor Leck was appointed as a committee to purchase chairs for the county hospital. Bids were received for painting the Detention Home and the contract was awarded to C.R Greene for $62.00. A franchise to lay water pipe line along certain streets in Placentia was granted to A.S Bradford for $100. A new school district was formed to be known as Paularino school district. The chairman was directed to sign a contract with Peter L.Ferry for furnishing 6,ooo barrels of road oil for the highway commission San Juan Capistrano; J. P. Greeley, Newport; J. M. Gunnett, Anaheim; D. W. Hasson, Buena Park; Geo. E. Huntington, Harper; J. D. Hunton, Newport; Benjamin W. Jerome, San Joaquin; W. H. Kennedy, Jr., Stanton; Samuel Kraemer, Placentia; E. B. Luntsford, Bolsa; John A. McFadden, Tustin; Walter F. Morse, La Habra; W. R. Newman, Santa Ana; Harry Oldfield, Garden Grove; James N. Osborn, Santa Ana; Carl J. Porter, Villa Park; J. J. Pyle, Westminster; J. G. Quiok, Santa Ana; R. D. Richards, Bay City; Fred Seifert, Santa Ana; Wm. Starbuck, Fullerton; T. O. Walker, Santa Ana; F. H. Wessler, West Anaheim. FRAUD IS CHARGED Charging that her son-in-law has taken advantage of her infirmities to get her signature to two notes and a deed and to get possession of $550, Mrs. E. A. Richardson, of Santa Ana, aged 80 years, has brought suit against her daughter, Alma C. Glover, and her husband, C. A. Glover, of Rosamond, Kern county. If the story told in the complaints filed here are true, Glover kept the aged woman under his roof until he had defrauded her of all she had, then cast her forth to live with other relatives. Mrs. Richardson owned eight lots at Huntington Beach. It is alleged that Mrs. Richardson thought she was signing authorizations to collect rents. It is now asserted that she signed a Huntington Beach. She does not know the amount of the note. Another not of $500 to Thomas Yates is attacked in the same manner. The court is asked to rescind a deed to four lots given to Glover. It is declared that Glover secured possession of $500 from a Huntington Beach bank. Mrs. Richardson is now with her daughter, Nancy J. Stewart. G. Martinez, found guilty of stealing some corn and sweet potatoes from the Walker ranch near Garden Grove, was fined $20 by Justice Cox. Leck Objects to Report Supervisor Leck has a small crow to pick with the late grand jury. The grand jury reported that the roads of the county are in good shape except the Trabuco canyon road, which the grand jury says is taken care of by a mining company. "To begin with," said Leck, "the grand jury failed to recognize the fact that the portion of the Trabuco canyon road above the Trabuco school house is not a county road. The law prohibits the county from spending money on a road that is not deeded, and we have no deed to that road. As to the rest of the Trabuco road, that under the county's jurisdiction, 20 miles of it from Culver's corner to the Trabuco school house, there is not a better road in Orange county. I think it is only fair to my road overseer to call attention to the error on the part of the grand jury." Unanimous Vote A modern, progressive, up-to-date fire-proof school is to be built at Seal Beach, which has broken all the modern records, so far as school bonds are concerned, in California. There was not one single vote cast against the school bonds at the election last Saturday. This means that Seal Beach will have a $12,000 school building of concrete or brick with tile roof, occupying the site of a little over an acre in the center of the most thickly populated part of the district. The school will be two blocks back from the ocean on the upper side of the railroad tracks, approximately midway between Anaheim Bay and Alamitos Bay, and from Prospect avenue easterly one miles. Supervisor Leck was appointed as a committee to purchase chairs for the county hospital. Blds were received for painting the Detention Home and the contract was awarded to C. R. Greene for $62.00. A franchise to lay water pipe line along certain streets in Placentia was granted to A. S. Bradford for $100. A new school district was formed to be known as Paularino school district. The chairman was directed to sign a contract with Peter L. Ferry for furnishing 6,000 barrels of road oil for the highway commission. The clerk was directed to advertise for bids for 1,000 barrels of road oil, bids to be opened February 4, 1914, at 11 A.M. The Clerk was directed to advertise for bids for furnishing the county and its officers with stationery for the ensuing year, bids to be opened February 4, 1914, at 11 A.M. The clerk was directed to issue licenses for fumigating to William Blaylock, Everett Phelps, Thomas Stark, Lester L. Lighthall, Henry Appel, Robert Hayes and Bowman & Wiley, and licenses for spraying to Will Rohrs and Albert Rohrs. The application of S. C. Certly to lay a pipe line along a certain county road in Garden Grove road district was granted. The county recorder was directed to cancel tax sales No. 350 and 168. Deeds were accepted for right of way for county roads from West Coast Oil Company, Amalgamated Oil Company, Olinda Land Company, W. M. Wellman, and S. G. Huff. The petition of L. F. Thurston, et al., for a county road 50 feet wide in Olive road district, was granted, deeds having been given for the right of way. The demand of Sam Browne's secret service was continued for hearing until January 27, 1914, at 10 A.M. The board adjourned to January 27, 1914, at 10 A.M. W.B.WILLIAMS, Clerk of the Board of Supervisors.
