Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. FREDERICKS FOR GOVERNOR Captain John D. Fredericks, district attorney of Los Angeles, has decided to make the race for the republican nomination for governor of California. Fredericks' name was one of the first mentioned in connection with the gubernatorial job, but the captain has been timid and declined to commit himself. A week ago, yielding to the importunity of friends, he announced that on June 1 he would publish his decision, but his final determination to enter the race has leaked out, through a San Francisco source, several days ahead of the scheduled date. When Francis V. Keesling and William C. Ralston of San Francisco and Charles M. Belshaw of Antioch, all republican candidates for gubernatorial honors, heard of his decision they held a conference on a proposal that all drop out of the contest and select one of the number as a candidate for lieutenant governor, but after a two-hour conference neither of the three would consent to give up the fight for governor, consequently there are now four avowed aspirants for the nomination, with others standing by in a receptive mood. The barrier which has prevented Fredericks reaching a decision hitherto has been a financial one. That obstacle has been broken down as friends in the south have raised a campaign fund of $20,000 it is understood which POLITICAL SNAPSHOTS (By the Innocent Bystander.) Taxes equivalent to the sum of $11,542.87 have gone delinquent for the years 1913-14, and unless they are paid before June 25th with 20 per cent added for first installment and 5 per cent for second installment, the property will be sold to the state by the county tax collector. This is not a final sale however, for the owners of the property have five years in which to redeem it, but at the expiration of that period, if the taxes are still unpaid, the property is formally deeded to the state and anyone may purchase it at auction, provided always that his or her bid is the highest offer received. The delinquency this year is on a total tax levy of $1,005,486.59, and will possibly be materially lessened before the date on which delinquent property is sold to the state. There are no snaps in buying property at a tax sale now, not like it was in the good old days when valuable holdings were sometimes picked up for a song, but these days when property is offered at auction to satisfy tax delinquency it generally brings about all it is worth and sometimes even more. And speaking of taxes reminds me that we of this neck of the woods stand a good chance of being asked to pungle up an additional special tax to keep the Santa Ana public schools running unless it may be decided to shorten the next school term and thus cut down expenses. For a condition and not a theory confronts the Santa Ana board of education, and in the language of the of the number as a candidate for lieutenant governor, but after a two-hour conference neither of the three would consent to give up the fight for governor, consequently there are now four avowed aspirants for the nomination, with others standing by in a receptive mood. The barrier which has prevented Fredericks reaching a decision hitherto has been a financial one. That obstacle has been broken down as friends in the south have raised a campaign fund of $20,000, it is understood, which will enable him to go into the fight. Fredericks will undoubtedly have the solid south behind him. He is clean, capable and popular, and ought to win in a walk. SAN DIEGO AND THE PORK BARREL Col. D. C. Collier and other "standpat" leaders in San Diego are trying to sidetrack J. C. Needham and assure the return of William Kettner to congress from this district. Their idea seems to be to discourage the candidacy of any San Diego man against Kettner and then unite the vote of San Diego county on him, as was done two years ago, and thus make his election sure. The republicans and progressives throughout the other counties of the district are very decidedly of the opinion that this great fruit growing district ought to be represented by an outspoken protectionist who would work effectively for a higher duty on California products whenever the tariff comes up for revision again. The election of an administration democrat is a sort of general notice to the country that we do not care about protection for oranges, lemons, walnuts, sugar and other California products. San Diego, however, is more interested in its harbor than anything else and seems to think it will stand a better show of getting what it wants from the Wilson administration by sending a democrat to congress. That county has only a very limited area in citrus fruits and other agricultural products affected by the tariff and seems quite willing to sacrifice the rest of the district in order to get a liberal "pork barrel" stand-in with the democratic administration on harbor appropriations. That is a strictly provincial view of the situation and a view moreover that is essentially selfish. The view, however, appears to prevail quite generally in San Diego, and the rest of the district might as well understand it. Whether the efforts to "kill off" Needham will be successful remains to be seen. And speaking of taxes reminds me that we of this neck of the woods stand a good chance of being asked to pungle up an additional special tax to keep the Santa Ana public schools running unless it may be decided to shorten the next school term and thus cut down expenses. For a condition and not a theory confronts the Santa Ana board of education, and in the language of the street, that body is up against it good and plenty. Briefly stated, the school board is in a hole, and it will require somewhere in the neighborhood of $40,000 to help 'em out. This fact became known a few days ago to the general public, although it must have been apparent long ago to members of the board of education, and according to current report, the humiliating admission had to be made that the members of the school board did not at any time know where they stood financially or where the cash was to come from to pay bills o.k'd by them. The blame falls on Superintendent Cranston mainly, as he has been at the head of everything since the present board has been in office, and it is believed it was his place to warn the board against possible shipwreck and save them from the condition that now confronts them. The crash came when it became known that Superintendent R. P. Mitchell had refused to approve school warrants for teachers' salaries, and then at a gathering of representatives of the different banks the whole matter was thrashed out and all sorts of suggestions made for providing the funds declared necessary to continue the schools as planned. Incidentally it develops that the board has spent money like the proverbial drunken sailor, and has depended upon next year's money to pay the bills, but County School Superintendent Mitchell rudely dispelled the day-dreaming when he called a halt on dealing in futures, and announced his determination to follow the letter of the law in regard to school funds. Then it became known that special teachers had been engaged during the school year and these had been assured that their services would be needed another year, but since then these teachers have been notified that their services will have to be dispensed with, although they are entitled to salary until the end of the school term and will have to be paid. The board of education at first is reported to have blamed County School Superintendent Mitchell for not allowing all it is worth and sometimes even more.

Lester of Santa Ana, present county auditor, is a candidate for re-election to the office he now holds. It is asserted for Lester that his work as auditor has been commended by grand juries, and never yet criticised adversely, and that his record has been such that it would be a mistake to fail to keep him where he is, since he is familiar with the work of the office and is an expert along that line of work. Before becoming county auditor, Lester was county clerk for four years, and is thoroughly familiar with the workings of the county government in all its phases. He has begun his campaign, and is well pleased with the encouragement and outlook as he has found it over the county. Santa Ana Register (Progressive.) W. C. Jerome, candidate for county auditor, was in town on Monday morning, accompanied by his brother, B. W. Jerome, who was formerly a well known resident of this city. Mr. Jerome has lived in Orange county 33 years, and this is the first time he has ever aspired to office. He is a son of the late William Jerome, who was one of the pioneers of this county, and is well remembered by many friends throughout this section. Mr. Jerome is making a campaign for the auditor's office on his record as one of the county's substantial citizens, and his many friends in this and other portions of the county are rallying to his support. Then it became known that special teachers had been engaged during the school year and these had been assured that their services would be needed another year, but since then these teachers have been notified that their services will have to be dispensed with, although they are entitled to salary until the end of the school term and will have to be paid. The board of education at first is reported to have blamed County School Superintendent Mitchell for not allowing them to go on and spend next year's money for this year's necessities, but Mitchell stood by the law and the whole matter was referred to District Attorney West, who has not yet given an opinion. And in the meantime the school board is up in the air, but not at such an altitude as to preclude the possibility of its members hearing the vigorous denunciation of methods that have brought Santa Ana's public school system into such unenviable notoriety. P. L. Tople's boomlet that was reported to have died abnormally has, so it is reported, shown signs of life, and they do now say Tople will enter the lists for the county clerkship to oppose W. B. Williams; not with any hope of winning the place, but simply to create a diversion, and prevent W. B. from being in position to help his brother, R. Y. Williams, in the latter's campaign for the superior judgeship. It is only a report, but the story comes straight that Tople does not want to run against Williams and has time and again argued that this is not the age of martyrs, and that he should not be offered up as a sacrifice, but he has been sternly told to do as he is bidden and some time in the future, when Johnson is re-elected and the sign is right, he will be given a government job, and that until that time arrives he is to possess his soul in patience and simply saw wood. Tople alarmed at the increase of unshelled months 4,582,646 pounds of 118 per cent. Foreign importers reaching out for the market. This will be sent to the farmers at V.southern counties. The of California have joined during six months thus to increase the importance, 987,794 bushels. California walnut growing to take notice of creasing importation of nuts, 24,120,894 pounds American market in the California produce six months, an increase. Democratic candidates President Wilson's team find it rather difficult canvass of Fresno centers, to explain how happens that during months 3,572,029 pounds were imported, an increase over a correspondent the republican tax. The total value of during the past six months $1,867,925, an increase. California foreign trade production of olive good progress in getting under the provisions derwood tariff bill, whichocrats in California True, they have only in which their agents during this short period increased the number ed from 289,743 to 448 of 54 per cent. The edible olive oil shows gallons of 14 per cent increase is shown in olives. Foreign fig growers wants an office badly enough and is competent to fill almost any office in the county, but he is astute enough to be able to read the handwriting on the wall, and that says W. B. Williams for re-election. He therefore naturally objects to butting up against a stone wall or being thrown to the wolves to help the progressive candidate for superior judge out of a hole. It is now reported that George Jeffrey, reputed candidate for supervisor in the fifth district, is also being put up with an ulterior motive and that one of the large landowners in the district is the man who is pulling the strings. Jeffrey is a democrat and so is Leck, incumbent of the office, who is seeking re-election and who also has for an opponent J. P. Greeley, of Balboa, at one time county school superintendent and later superintendent of the state school at Whittier. The idea of putting up a second democrat is to weaken Leck's chances for re-election and thus allow Greeley to win, and the reason for this action is said to be found in the fact that Leck as a member of the board of supervisors was responsible for raising the assessment on certain real property in the district, the owner of which is thus trying to get even. T. B. Talbert, chairman of the present board of supervisors, is sure of re-election according to the predictions of his friends, although G. W. Moore, Talbert’s principal opponent, is making a hot fight for the place. Talbert’s friends may be over sanguine, but they confidently assert that their man will carry every precinct in the district except Westminster, and this assertion they say is made on the basis of a close poll of the district which has been made by conservative men who have not taken anything for granted. ROYAL BAKING POWDER Absolutely Pure The only Baking Powder made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar NO ALUM, NO LIME PHOSPHATE importations of 16 per cent. These figures furnish conclusive proof that the predictions of the opponents of the Underwood tariff bill regarding its effect upon the industries of California are more than coming true. The bill has only had a six-months’ trial, and the agents of foreign importers have just begun to solicit the patronage in the United States of those who handle these products. Miss Justine Whitney, of Santa Ana, was in town on Monday afternoon in the interest of her candidacy for the nomination as county recorder. Miss Whitney aspires to the position now admirable filled by Joseph M. Backs of this city, and while we esteem her highly as a lady, our heart is true to our little Joe, whom we have known boy and man for nigh unto 40 years.

The 30th of May this year comes on Saturday. Al- It would seem that the citrus fruit growers of Southern California are not the only ones who are registering a vigorous complaint against the Underwood tariff bill. In the northern part of the state the dairymen have suddenly awakened to the fact that the reduction in the duty on butter is resulting in the dumping of the foreign product into the United States at an alarming rate. Congressman Knowland has compiled figures of the importations of butter for the first six months under the new tariff law, as compared with the corresponding six months under the republican law. During the first half-year there were imported into the United States under the democratic tariff, 6,492,658 pounds of butter, as against 648,133 pounds for a corresponding period under the republican tariff, an astounding increase of 901 per cent. It is not surprising that California dairymen are complaining that the prices received for butter show a steady downward trend. Chinese eggs continue to come into the United States, and particularly into California, at an alarming rate. The total number of eggs imported during the first six months under the democratic tariff reaches the total of 4,160,388 dozen, an increase over the corresponding six months under the republican tariff of 484 per cent. These figures are being watched closely by the poultry men at Petaluma and other sections of California. California almond growers are also alarmed at the increase in the importation of unshelled almonds. There were imported during the past six months 4,582,646 pounds, an increase of 118 per cent. Foreign importers are likewise reaching out for the California bean market. This will be interesting news to the farmers at Ventura and other southern counties. The foreign rivals of California have just started, but during six months they have managed to increase the importations 84 per cent. T. B. Talbert, chairman of the present board of supervisors, is sure of reelection according to the predictions of his friends, although G. W. Moore, Talbert's principal opponent, is making a hot fight for the place. Talbert's friends may be over sanguine, but they confidently assert that their man will carry every precinct in the district except Westminster, and this assertion they say is made on the basis of a close poll of the district which has been made by conservative men who have not taken anything for granted and have given each candidate what is really coming to him and nothing more. BUENA PARK NOTES The annual party given by the whist club to their many friends was a great success. Seventeen tables enjoyed a fine game. Mrs. Sherwood of Placentia won first ladies' prize, and Mr. Hollzer of the Standard Oil office, first gentleman's prize, Mrs. Jack Reeves ladies' consolation, and Mr. Watson of Los Angeles, gentleman's consolation. As there were many guests present who did not play whist not many club members were seen at the card tables, being engaged in entertaining and preparing the elegant collation served in the guest room at the close of the game. Messrs. McComber, Thomas and Gardner kept the score and Mesdames Henry Warren, McComber, Miller, Thomas, Watson and Gardner looked after matters generally and made it a point to see that everybody had a good time. Taken all in all, this entertainment reflects much credit on the very able officers, Mesdames Warren and Thomas, president and secretary, as well as the club members. Mr. and Mrs. George H. Warren have recently returned from a trip through Imperial Valley in their new Maxwell car. The new postoffice building will be completed and ready for business about July 1. Joseph Keith, the postmaster, will have a grocery store as well as the postoffice. The boulevard work in the Park is progressing fine. The roller is already at work and we will no doubt have one road in short order. The Ladies' Mutual Aid met with Mrs. E. L. Cole at the last meeting. The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. W.

WILL DECORATE THE GRAVES WITH FLOWERS Malvern Hill Post is making its annual preparations for the usual observance of Decoration Day at the Anaheim cemetery, and the forty mounds under which rest the bones of veterans of the Civil War will be decorated with the colors which they fought to preserve fifty years ago, and covered with beautiful flowers. The 30th of May this year comes on Saturday. Although this is the worst day of the week on which to declare a holiday the merchants of Anaheim have determined to close their stores during the entire day in honor of the nation's dead. Meat markets will remain open because of the difficulty of keeping fresh meat from Friday until Sunday and also because many persons would be deprived of their Sunday dinner should they be unable to purchase meat Saturday evening. Yorba Linda will this year play an important part in the decoration services. A year ago to Buena Park was accorded the honor of furnishing most of the music and decorating the graves, and the people of that town rose to the occasion and sent a quartet of splendid singers. The Yorba Linda male quartet will furnish the vocal music on Saturday, and a corps of Yorba Linda school children will distribute the flowers on the graves of the sleeping heroes. The old soldiers have passed beyond their marching days consequently they will travel to the cemetery in autos and other vehicles. The line will form at the cemetery gates and headed by the Fullerton band, playing the dirge, will march to the stand where the exercises will take place. The following program will then be carried out: 9:30 A.M.. Assembly Call Selection...

Foreign importers are likewise reaching out for the California bean market. This will be interesting news to the farmers at Ventura and other southern counties. The foreign rivals of California have just started, but during six months they have managed to increase the importations 84 per cent, 987,794 bushels being imported. California walnut growers are beginning to take notice of the steadily increasing importation of unshelled walnuts, 24,120,894 pounds reaching the American market in competition with the California product during the past six months, an increase of 79 per cent. Democratic candidates, advocating President Wilson's tariff policy, will find it rather difficult, in making a canvass of Fresno and other raisin centers, to explain to growers how it happens that during the past six months 3,572,029 pounds of raisins were imported, an increase of 62 per cent over a corresponding period under the republican tariff. The total value of lemons imported during the past six months amounts to $1,867,925, an increase of 60 per cent. California foreign competitors in the production of olive oil are making good progress in getting into the market under the provisions of the Underwood tariff bill, which certain democrats in California are defending. True, they have only had six months in which their agents could work, but during this short period they have increased the number of gallons imported from 289,743 to 448,886, an increase of 54 per cent. The importation of edible olive oil shows an increase in gallons of 14 per cent; a 36 per cent increase is shown in the importation of olives. Foreign fig growers have increased A little backache at first. Daily increasing 'till the back is lame and weak. Urinary disorders may quickly follow; Dropsy and often Bright's disease.

Los Angeles St., Anaheim, Cal., says: "I didn't sleep well on account of kidney weakness. My back was weak and I got up in the morning feeling languid and tired. My feet, ankles and limbs were swollen. I had dizzy spells and headaches. When having a severe attack of this trouble, I was induced to try Doan's Kidney Pills. They helped me so much that I continued taking them and they made me well. Since then, whenever I have needed a kidney medicine, I have taken a few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills and they have warded off any attack of the complaint. Another in our home has taken Doan's Kidney Pills with good results." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Marshall had.

SOME BUSY HENS Edward Carey, of Santa Barbara, has seven remarkable hens that have established an egg-laying record for that district, he believes. These seven hens have laid an average of an egg a day for the past 64 days. They are three Andalusians and four brown Leghorns. They settled down to the serious business of laying an egg a day on February 13, and each setting sun since has seen them go to roost with their day's work conscientiously done. From February 13 up to Wednesday morning these hens had produced a total of 450 eggs. Mr. Carey asks if there are any hens hereabouts that have bettered this record. If crushed rock in sufficient quantity was available for use by the county highway commission the paving of good roads in this county, as outlined in the plan upon which $1,270,000 bonds were voted, could be finished within a year, says Engineer Finley.

HOME FROM MEXICO Sandy Gardiner, mining engineer and mill superintendent for the Esperanza Mining Company, one of the largest concerns that is operating in Mexico, has just returned from the City of Mexico, accompanied by his wife, and is visiting his parents on Orangethorpe avenue. Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner came out of Mexico by way of Mexico City, spending several days in that city on the return trip home. The mines had to shut down on account of the war in that country. Mr. Gardiner says that he experienced no ill treatment while in Mexico City and that at the present time Huerta seems to have the city fairly well under control but that he knows it to be a fact that the president has a great many bitter enemies in that city. While in Mexico City Mr. Gardiner was informed that Huerta has explosives placed under the national capital, and also under his fine residence, and it is generally believed in that city that he will blow up those places, and also other valuable property in the City of Mexico if he is driven out. CONFIRMATION SERVICE Rt. Rev. Joseph H. Johnson, bishop of the diocese of Los Angeles of the Episcopal church, will visit Anaheim to confer the rite of confirmation on a class of candidates, Thursday evening, June 4, at 7:30 o'clock, in St. Michael's Episcopal church. The bishop will visit the Guilds in the Guild hall during the afternoon, and after the evening service an informal reception will be given the bishop and the newly confirmed class. A cordial invitation is extended all to come. LOSES BOTH HANDS W. C. H. Walker, an aged rancher of La Habra Valley, met with a very custody late Tuesday afternoon at Santa Ana and held in the sum of $100 cash bail to appear May 28, and answer to the charge of lewd and lascivious conduct, preferred against her. She is the same woman around whom mystery centered when Deputy Sheriff Law shot the man on Durant street about a year ago. The Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company has filed a demurrer in the case which Mrs. Addie Stockslager is prosecuting against them. One of the reasons set forth in the demurrer is that the complaint is unintelligible, and it cannot be known from it whether complainant is suing the company as a beneficiary under the policy, or as one of the heirs to the estate. The company prays that the action be dismissed, and that they receive costs in the action. The boys who are working on the Fourth of July celebration committee at Fullerton report things moving along nicely and that the donations almost reach the $1,000 mark. It is said there is another move on foot now to make this a two-days' celebration and to make a special bargain day out of one of them. The idea of this is, if they decide to have it, will be for every business concern in town to make that day a special bargain day; by so doing it it thought it would be a great drawing feature and a big advertisement for the town. The work on the road from Redlands to Bear Valley by way of Santa Ana Canyon has been completed and it is announced that the road is now in good shape for automobile travel. The fords have all been widened so that there will be no danger of a machine being stuck in the middle of the stream. There will be two good roads to Bear Valley this summer, the main one being up Santa Ana Canyon. The other road, the Pine Crest road, is being put in shape by the supervisors at a cost of $10,000. The Mill Creek road will not be completed into Bear Valley for another year. Political Announcement HOWARD A.

LOSES BOTH HANDS W. C. H. Walker, an aged rancher of La Habra Valley, met with a very serious accident Monday afternoon while assisting James Warne, an Anaheim contractor, in pulling the casing from a well on the Walker place. A rope on the windlass broke, and a thousand pounds of pipe descended upon Mr. Walker's hands, its sharp edges cutting them in a dreadful manner. He was rushed to a hospital as quickly as possible, and doctors there found it necessary to amputate both hands—one at the wrist, the other leaving only a thumb. Mr. Walker is 78 years old, and on this account his recovery from the shock is considered doubtful. His wife, who has been an invalid for several years, is prostrated. Their daughter, Mrs. Laura English, with her son, had just arrived from the east for a visit to the family when the accident occurred, and a hearty handshake in greeting to his grandson was the last act of the old gentleman previouto the accident. It is now claimed in high-brow circles that it was a bunch of grapes and not an apple that made the trouble in the Garden of Eden. Here is a hunch for the advocates of state-wide prohibition in California. Foreign butter is being shipped into the country, but the price remains at the old figure, thanks to the Underwood tariff law. Another beauty of the democratic theory that importations of an article decrease the local price. HOWARD A.
