POLITICAL NOTES FROM NATION'S CAPITAL INDICATIONS ARE THAT FOREIGN POTATOES WILL SOON ROOT OUT AMERICAN PRODUCT SENATOR WILLIAMS TELLS WHY "POOR, DEAR, FOOLISH DEMOCRATIC PARTY" FAILS Senator John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, who was the democratic leader in the house before Underwood, and who berated his colleagues in the senate Wednesday for quarreling over the selection of reserve cities and other matters, declared the party was beginning to do just what it could be counted upon doing every time. "The poor, dear, old, foolish democratic party," said the democratic senator, "is going through the same game that she can be generally trusted to go through soon after she gets into power. "That is the democratic party, true enough," he continued. "That is its history. That is what led Speaker Tom Reed to say in 1894 and 1895: 'You can't last long because you are not accustomed to governing anybody or anything; you cannot govern the country because you cannot govern yourselves. You are incompetent.'" "I doubt if there is a particle of danger of Iowa sending back a single ST. MICHAEL'S GIRLS GIVE SOCIAL DANCE Thirty-Six Young People Entertained by Junior Auxiliary A dance and party was given by the girls of the Junior Auxiliary of St. Michael's Episcopal church, Friday evening, June 5. The members of the Auxiliary are: Fay Kern, Dorris James, Mary Megede, Janey Vanderveer, Vivian Petermann, Helen Elliott, Margaret Hill, Jessie Boyd, Edith Redit, Annie Harbison, Mrs. Gillmor and Miss Hill. Each member had the privilege of inviting a girl friend and two boys, and there were about 36 boys and girls present. An enjoyable evening was spent in dancing and playing many games. The following committees were appointed at the last meeting to arrange for the party: Mary Megede and Edith Redit, serving committee. Dorris James and Jessie Boyd, reception committee. All of the girls were on decorating and refreshment committees. After the party delicious refreshments were served by some of the Auxiliary girls. Everyone went home thinking they had spent an enjoyable evening. Those present were: Helen Elliott, Edith Redit, Jim Whitaker, Dorris James, Bruce Bilger, Fay Kern, Stanley Falkenstein, Edna Schlotter, Lillian Wippermann, Herbert Oelkees, Hazel Wiedler, Jessie Boyd, Mary Megede, Kenneth Nagel, Donald Petermann, Clevenger Megede, Edward Backs, Tommy Kemp, Ralph Kemp, Armin Lensing, Mildred Lemon, Maurice Eubanks, Joe Elliott, Albert Petermann, Vivian Petermann, Alice Ingram, Lucile Nordheim, Inez Elliott as pianist and Mrs. Gillmor, Mrs. Kern and Mrs. Boyd as chaperons. CONVICTED OF MANSLAUGHTER The jury that tried Epitacio Valenzuela on a charge of murdering Delaware citizens by one, in a mass-meeting decided to retain the number of two acres and buy two of W. L. York. Bonds are for this purpose and form of a new school house total of $30,000 on June 22. The losing side of a contest of the members of Teachers' Association gave bake to the winners Tuesday.

Was He Seeking Treasure? A. Lonnquist is very likely by mysterious night visited Sepulveda ranch known as the milk ranch basin. The only explanation treasure hunters have been for hidden gold. Recent View Land Company down the old ranch house work was started a few minutes later the work was well under way the workmen there had been mysterious digging under the old sixty-footed show tracks of a river. The following night a wagon and an automobile was in place. The next night were further evidence of square hole was found evident that a chest or removed. Was some treasure This is the question I would like to have answer... "That is the democratic party, true enough," he continued. "That is its history. That is what led Speaker Tom Reed to say in 1894 and 1895: 'You can't last long because you are not accustomed to governing anybody or anything; you cannot govern the country because you cannot govern yourselves. You are incompetent.'" "I doubt if there is a particle of danger of Iowa sending back a single democrat," says J. B. Hungerford, editor of the Carroll Herald, Carroll, Iowa, about the congressional elections this fall. Mr. Hungerford is editor and publisher of the oldest paper in his county and is in close touch with political conditions in the Hawkeye state. He says that the results of the democratic tariff which are already beginning to show in the Middle West are giving the farmers great concern, especially the importation of corn and meat from Argentina to compete with products of the American farmer. These things are threatening the farming industry, says Mr. Hungerford, but they have not lessened the cost of living. He says the democratic tariff is helping the trusts that have acquired the control abroad of foreign products that are being shipped into the United States to compete with the American farmer. Reports indicate that potatoes are another food product which foreign countries will grow for Americans under the democratic tariff law. We have been growing almost all the potatoes we have needed. For instance, the last two months of 1912, under a republican tariff, only 41,000 bushels of potatoes were imported into the United States. In the last two months of last year, under a democratic tariff, nearly 3,000,000 bushels of potatoes were brought into this country. This means that more than a million dollars which had been going into the pockets of American potato raisers were sent to foreign potato growers. It is reported that the foreign acreage of potatoes is to be doubled and hereafter increased year by year. The southern rice growers have faired better at the hands of the democratic tariff makers. The Wilson tariff imposes a duty of almost 60 cents a bushel on rice. Even democratic papers are admitting that business is bad and men are idle. The New York Times has made the statement that "in the Middle States there are a million idle men Fay Kern, Stanley Falkenstein, Eula Schlotter, Lillian Wippermann, Herbert Oelkees, Hazel Wiedler, Jessie Boyd, Mary Megede, Kenneth Nagel, Donald Petermann, Clevenger Megede, Edward Backs, Tommy Kemp, Ralph Kemp, Armine Lensing, Mildred Lemon, Maurice Eubanks, Joe Elliott, Albert Petermann, Vivian Petermann, Alice Ingram, Lucile Nordheim, Inez Elliott as pianist and Mrs. Gillmor, Mrs. Kern and Mrs. Boyd as chaperons. CONVICTED OF MANSLAUGHTER The jury that tried Epitacio Valenzuela on a charge of murdering Delbert Wardlow at Talbert brought in a verdict of manslaughter in the superior court on Friday, the maximum sentence for which is 10 years. For six hours one juror stood steadfast for acquittal, while eleven men wanted to convict Valenzuela for either first or second degree murder. Six of the twelve voted to give the Mexican either life imprisonment or death. But one man forced a compromise verdict of manslaughter. The jury reached an agreement at 11:25 o'clock Friday night. The case against Valenzuela rested largely upon the evidence of E. D. Stafford, a cowboy, who was with Wardlow at Valenzuela's house. Valenzuela and several other Mexican witnesses declared Valenzuela did not shoot at Wardlow. They put the murder upon Pasqual Vasquez, who escaped to Mexico. Valenzuela's wife and one of his four children were among the witnesses. TRULY IMMENSE INDUSTRIES There are in the State of California 75 breweries, representing an investment of $500,000,000. They employ 4,000 workmen, receiving salaries which amount annually to over $6,000,000. They use up in a year raw material amounting to $3,500,000, and pay to the government in excise tax more than $1,350,000, and in the state taxes amounting to $1,000,000. In the viticultural industry there is invested as much as $150,000,000, and the grapes are worked up in 700 wineries, giving employment to more than 15,000 persons. Licenses paid in California a year by saloons amount to something like $4,000,000. There are about 5,000 restaurants that serve alcoholic beverages, and 5,000 saloons, representing an investment of $10,000,000. They pay to the government of the state, counties and municipalities more than $3,000,000, and employ more than 22,000 persons. It is said that as many as 112,000 persons earn their living constantly in these establishments. The vineyards cover an extent of 200,000 acres. Unique Structure at Ball F. W. Harding of Santa Clara plans and specifications a bungalow court consists individual cottages of type, so planned as to one outside lot, and still enough for a small park which is already filled with trees. Four of the buys have three rooms each; the buildings two rooms are to be furnished with beds, built-in buffets, closets, in connection with features commonly provings of this class. The now under construction is small park located midthe ocean and bay. Yorba Oil Company Articles of incorporation for Yorba Oil Company have been from the office of the state, marked "O.

Injured by Car Last Sunday afternoon The southern rice growers have faired better at the hands of the democratic tariff makers. The Wilson tariff imposes a duty of almost 60 cents a bushel on rice. Even democratic papers are admitting that business is bad and men are idle. The New York Times has made the statement "in the Middle States there are a million idle men with an average loss of $50,000 a day in wages." As an instance of this, in Chicago, it has been proposed to appropriate a million dollars to relieve idle wage earners. PROFIT IN STRAWBERRIES One little strawberry since discovered in a patch at Sweetbriar, Shasta county, 12 years ago, has developed an industry valued at $10,000 a year to the small farmers on the upper Sacramento River. It was found in a little garden patch by T. J. Loftus, who noticed that the berries on the single vine were two and three times larger than the product of the other vines and exceedingly luscious. Loftus dug up the vine and propagated the strain. Like all products of the soil which outstrip their own kind and provide the fancy fruits—and bring the fancy prices—this berry soon became famous locally and the common berries were dug up and it was planted instead. Finally a grower from the Watsonville district who was spending a vacation in the Shasta Canyon resort, secured a few to try on his place in Santa Cruz county. It proved a success from the start, and now the Sweetbriar—that was the name given to the new variety—has become famous. It is known in the Watsonville district as the Banner, and commands the highest prices paid for any strawberry. A marked improvement in the tone of Amalgamated oil stock is apparent, as a result of the increase in the company's oil output. This increase is due to the fact that two wells, which have been re-drilled, are in with a daily aggregate output exceeding 1,000 barrels. One well, No. 8, on the Anaheim Union Water lease—which, contrary to report, did not have trouble with a collapsed casing—has been cleaned out and deepened and is now doing about 800 barrels a day, as compared with a previous yield of about 200 barrels daily. This well had never been finished satisfactorily, until the present time. The other well is on the Hualde tract, and had trouble with a collapsed casing. It is now yielding about 300 barrels daily and would probably do better if peedened, but the company is satisfied with the present production. Only one other well has been off production on account of collapsed casing and that is No. 4, on the Anaheim Union lease, which is not as yet re-drilled. The Amalgamated's production in this field now is over 2,000 barrels a day, and the total production of the company in Southern California (including the yields of the Arcturus and Salt Lake Oil Companies, subsidiaries) totals about 5,500 barrels a day. George Barlow, an orange grower at Upland, claims to have discovered a cure for the gum disease in citrus orchards. As proof of the efficacy of his discovery he exhibits eighteen trees in his orchard that he claims were badly infected with gum disease a year ago which are now apparently as healthy as any in his orchard. He is anxious to further demonstrate the efficiency of his remedy, but is keeping its composition secret so that he may profit from his discovery.

L. York. Bonds are to be voted for this purpose and for the erection of a new school house to the amount of $30,000 on June 22. The losing side of a membership contest of the members of the Parent-Teachers’ Association gave aWiener bake to the winners Tuesday afternoon. The association entertained the teachers of the La Habra school at the home of Mrs. Frank Proud in appreciation of an entertainment, the teachers, with the aid of the pupils, gave the association some time ago. Refreshments were served after which toasts were given to the teachers and responded to by them. Was He Seeking Treasure? A. Lonnquist is very much puzzled by mysterious night visits to the old Sepulveda ranch house, generally known as the milk ranch, on the west basin. The only explanation is that treasure hunters have been searching for hidden gold. Recently the Harbor View Land Company decided to tear down the old ranch house and the work was started a few days ago. After the work was well under way one morning the workmen noticed that there had been mysterious evidence of digging under the old sills. Examination showed tracks of an automobile. The following night a watch was kept and an automobile was seen to enter the place. The next morning there were further evidence of digging and a square hole was found where is was evident that a chest or box had been removed. Was some treasure secured? This is the question Mr. Lonnquist would like to have answered, but he so badly stung by infuriated bees that one of them died on the spot, and the life of the other hangs in the balance. Dr. Pullin, who was called on the case, says it is but a question of a day or two before the second horse will also die, as it is not a matter of guessing when an animal has been stung as badly as these horses were, as to whether they will live or not. Death is almost certain. Roberts’ teamster was driving the team past True’s apiary, where the bees in some of the hives were being despoiled of their honey. This rendered the bees furious, and catching sight of the horses, the insects made an attack on them. In an instant the animals became totally unmanageable, but did not offer to run. They tried to paw the bees away from their heads, where the insects had settled in countless numbers. The horses screamed in agony, and in a very short time one of them died, the poison affecting this one more quickly than it did his mate. Will Clinch Saddleback The Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce will send an expedition to the top of Mt. Santiago (familiarly known as “Saddleback”) next Saturday to exploit the attractions of this majestic peak and permit automobilists and mountain lovers to learn the features of the trip. The party will leave the chamber of commerce rooms in Santa Ana at 8:30 o’clock Saturday morning, proceeding in automobiles to the foot of the government trail in Trabuco Canyon, from which point the ascent will be made with saddle and pack horses. The expedition, which is limited to twenty, will reach the top of the mountain about 5 P.M., thus enjoying the evening view, and will remain on the peak over night, return- View Land Company decided to tear down the old ranch house and the work was started a few days ago.

The next morning there were further evidence of digging and a square hole was found where is was evident that a chest or box had been removed. Was some treasure secured? This is the question Mr. Lonnquist would like to have answered, but he says whoever got it is welcome to whatever it was. The ranch house is one of the oldest in Southern California. It was built in 1837 and much of the material used came around the Horn. Unique Structure at Balboa F. W. Harding of Santa Ana, has had plans and specifications prepared for a bungalow court consisting of seven individual cottages of the bungalow type, so planned as to be built upon one outside lot, and still have space enough for a small park at one corner, which is already filled with quite large trees. Four of the buildings are to have three rooms each and three of the buildings two rooms each, and all are to be furnished with disappearing beds, built-in buffets, large wardrobe closets, in connection with many other features commonly provided for buildings of this class. The cottages are now under construction at Balboa in a small park located midway between the ocean and bay. Yorba Oil Company Articles of incorporation of the Yorba Oil Company have been returned from the office of the secretary of state, marked "O. K." This company is formed for the purpose of acquiring rights to mining claims, mineral lands, oil and gas lands, as well as for the purpose of prospecting for oil, etc. The limit is 50 years. The capital stock of the company is divided into 750 shares of the par value of $100 each. There are three incorporators, Francis E. Stevens, E. A. Hawkins and F. M. Selby, and each of these has taken one share of stock, making the amount actually paid in $300. Road Contract Let The contract for the first section of the coast boulevard was awarded at the meeting of the board of supervisors Wednesday, to Contractor Oscar Ford, of Riverside, the low bidder for the job. This unit of this long-looked-for road is about 2½ miles long, and Mr. Ford's bid was $6,700 for grading and surfacing, and the work is to be completed in 60 days; and extends from Anaheim Landing to Los Patos. It is expected that the contract for the bridge at Anaheim Landing will be awarded in the near future, as it will not be long before the plans are approved by the government. Thanks to the South Coast Improvement Association. Injured by Car Last Sunday afternoon Paul Kasper, son of Maud Mrs. Frank Kesner, died at peak and permit automobiles and mountain lovers to learn the features of the trip. The party will leave the chamber of commerce rooms in Santa Ana at 8:30 o'clock Saturday morning, proceeding in automobiles to the foot of the government trail in Trabuco Canyon, from which point the ascent will be made with saddle and pack horses. The expedition, which is limited to twenty, will reach the top of the mountain about 5 P.M., thus enjoying the evening view, and will remain on the peak over night, returning Sunday. The view from Mt. Santiago, which is about 6,000 feet high, is excellent and an automobile road to the top is considered practicable. Brea's Deepest Well The Birch Oil Company has landed the 4¼-inch pipe in its well No. 9 at 4,256 feet, and expect to bring it in soon. This well is the deepest ever drilled in the Brea Canyon district, and has drilled through more sand than any other. The 6-inch casing has been landed in No. 7 at 3,600 feet and a string of 4¼-inch is now being carried. "Go-to-Church" Campaign Following the custom which has been adopted in a large number of the cities of the United States, the ministers of Santa Ana have united in a go to church Sunday campaign. Wherever it has been tried it has been found that the results from this sort of religious publicity are very marked. In St. Louis, where a campaign was started, it was found that 98 per cent of the people of the city attended church on a certain Sunday. Ten thousand cards have been distributed throughout Santa Ana. In addition to these cards the ministers are getting out 3,000 tags which will be distributed by the boys of the Y. M. C. A. The ministers are confident that these various methods of urging people to attend church will have a wide-reaching result. Demurrer Sustained Judge Thomas on Friday sustained the demurrers submitted by the defendants in the cases known as the Birch Oil Company actions, in which $1,000,000 is asked by former stockholders of the Menges Oil Company, who assert that they were misled by A. Otis Birch into selling their stock. The demurrers are not sustained upon the ground that the actions are estopped by the statute of limitations but upon grounds of minor corrections in the complaints. The plaintiffs are given 20 days in which to amend their pleadings. First Class Office JOE C. BURKE Republican Candidate for ASSEMBLYMAN 76TH DISTRICT Primary election Aug. 25, 1914. L. A.

MISS JUSTINE WHITNEY For 11 years Deputy County Recorder Candidate for Injured by Car Last Sunday afternoon Paul Kasper, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kasper, of Huntington Beach, was seriously injured in an attempt to board a moving Pacific Electric car at Newport Beach. Mr. Kasper states that his son was at Newport in company with Ernest Koppl, of Talbert. The boys decided to go to Balboa, and walked to the crossing to board a car going in that direction, not knowing that the car did not stop at this particular crossing going to Balboa, and supposing the car to be slowing down for them, each attempted to get on; but the car was really "picking up" speed, and the Koppl boy dropped off the car, and young Kasper in attempting to follow his chum, fell, sustaining several bad bruises and a fracture of the skull, on the right side of his head. The injured boy is 19 years of age and was employed at the Holly Sugar factory. At last reports he was recovering as rapidly as could be expected. A Timely Jump Immigration Inspector F. M. McMahan, of Santa Ana, thanks his lucky stars that he is a good jumper. By a long leap from his auto he escaped being entangled in its wreck when it was struck by a Southern Pacific freight engine Thursday. McMahan had been through a Santa Fe train looking for contraband Chinese and was returning home when he was stopped by the gates at the Southern Pacific crossing. When the gates were raised he supposed the tracks were clear. They were not, and a freight train badly smashed his machine. His wife and children had intended going to the train, but were delayed. Horses Killed by Bees A team of horses belonging to Chas. Roberts, who lives near Peralta, were rentals in the cases known as the Birch Oil Company actions, in which $1,000,000 is asked by former stockholders of the Menges Oil Company, who assert that they were misled by A. Otis Birch into selling their stock. The demurrers are not sustained upon the ground that the actions are estopped by the statute of limitations but upon grounds of minor corrections in the complaints. The plaintiffs are given 20 days in which to amend their pleadings. First Class Office For the year ending May 31, 1914, the Santa Ana postoffice handled 6,000,000 pieces of mail; $122,281.73 was issued in money orders and $86,445.78 was paid out on orders. Receipts from stamps, stamped envelopes and postcards were $41,000. Postmaster Shaw has received official notice from the postoffice department at Washington that the Santa Ana office will become a first class office July 1. CONVINCING EVIDENCE Antonio Mejas was again before Judge Cox of Santa Ana Friday afternoon on a charge of disturing the peace, but his wife told the court that it was all a mistake; that Antonio was a model husband and that she had told a story when she charged her husband with tearing the clothes from her person. She told Judge Cox that she was able to tear her own clothes, yet, and that she had told her harrowing story to Under Sheriff Law just to frighten the children. One of the latter was present and told the court that "Papa did not do anything,'cause mamma said so and told her to say so, too." The judge was compelled to dismiss the case, much to the chagrin of the officer. J. C. McDonald, John Sprague and J. N. Anderson have reported to the court that the estate of the late Amos Wright of Placentia has been appraised at $2,880. THURSDAY, JUNE 11 Good Place to Buy G-O-O-D L-U-M-B-E-R C.

Kent at his ranch in Garden Grove and was assailed by the latter with a garden rake, is a very sick man, and little hopes are entertained for his recovery. He is said to be delirious and is wasting away. He does not have any lucid intervals at all and his wife and sons now fear the worst. Physicians are nearly constantly at the bedside, and yesterday morning no hope could be given. The escaping gas from the great "gasser" on the Murphy lease burned all night and the light is piped some distance down the canyon and is now burned to get rid of the smell. When the pressure runs up to 250 pounds to the square inch the well is opened to allow the gas to blow out for eight or ten hours at a time. The well is now being given a thorough test and no decrease is shown in output. It is said the gas will be piped to Los Angeles. The output from this well is now at the rate of 41,000,000 cubic feet per day. County Highway Commissioners D. C. Pixley, W. T. Newlin and R. J. McFadden, accompanied by Engineer Finley, were in this part of the county on Monday, driving over and inspecting paved roads at Placentia, Buena Park, Fullerton and other points.
