S.P. PUT OUT OF POLITICS BY REPUBLICANS ANTI-RAILROAD PASS BILL ADOPTED BY GILLETT'S ADMINISTRATION CAPT. FREDERICKS, CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR, THROWS DOWN GAUNTLET TO JOHNSON John D. Fredericks this week attacked the veracity of the report of Hiram W. Johnson that it was he who kicked the Southern Pacific out of politics. Using a different metaphor, Captain Fredericks declared the republican party of the Gillett administration struck the blow which put the Southern Pacific machine in its grave and that the Johnson activity has been merely a celebration of its wake. Thus has Captain Fredericks tarwn down the gauntlet to the leader of the progressives right at the beginning of his campaign for the republican nomination. The big show is starting in the main tent. The fireworks display will be unequalled. What did the republicans kill the S.P. machine with? Captain Fredericks said the act which outlawed the railroad pass did the trick. These assertions Captain Fredericks made at his ranch near Hynes to a delegation of Long Beach men and women, nearly 150 of them, who arrived in 25 big automobiles to greet and cheer Fredericks as "the next governor." They found Fredericks tuning up an engine of the irrigating system of the 70-acre ranch which he has farmed for the last 25 years, as a practical farmer, not as a "country gentleman." Dr. Newton Pierce led the delegation, nearly all of the individuals of which were old-time friends of the candidate. 120 DAYS IN JAIL FOR WIFE BEATING G. H. Aguayo Given Stiff Sentence by Justice of the Peace Howard One hundred and twenty days in the county jail was the sentence meted out to G. H. Aguayo by Judge Howard Saturday morning for wife beating, and he will have ample time to reflect on the hard lines that usually follow in the footsteps of the transgressor. Wednesday evening officers were summoned to Sonoratown near the sugar factory to quell a disturbance being created by a Mexican. They found Aguayo on the rampage and put him under arrest. It appears that after imbibing a considerable quantity of dago red Aguayo had gone home in a peeved condition over something and proceeded to even up his score with the world by assaulting his wife. He did a pretty thorough job of it as it is said she was bruised and cut about the head and shoulders in a brutal manner. On being arraigned before Judge Howard Thursday Aguayo pleaded not guilty, but when the case was again called he decided it would be wise to confess and trust to the mercy of the court. The judge thought the offense justified a sentence of 120 days. ARE OPPOSED TO INITIATIVE PETITION Sportsmen of Orange County Up In Arms Against Proposed Amendment The initiative petition proposing to change the fish and game laws, has just been sent to this county for circulation, and did not take long for posted sportsmen to see the "nigger in the woodpile." The People's Fish and Game Protective Association is the big-sounding name of the organization that is back of the measure.

They found Fredericks tuning up an engine of the irrigating system of the 70-acre ranch which he has farmed for the last 25 years, as a practical farmer, not as a "country gentleman." Dr. Newton Pierce led the delegation, nearly all of the individuals of which were old-time friends of the candidate. Fredericks left the pumping plant and received the visitors on the lawn in front of the house. Dr. Percie spoke briefly, declaring his belief that every voter of Long Beach registered as a republican would cast his ballot for Captain Fredericks. Fredericks replied as follows: "I had rather lose this battle, and know that my neighbors, who have known me all my life, were strong in my support, than win it on the support of strangers, and without your good will. "It is as idle for the progressive party to claim responsibility for this as it would be for the astronomer to imagine that the rules of astronomy fixed the stars in their courses. It is the course of the stars that gives the rules of astronomy. It is the upward trend of public thought that gives us our advancement. The cry that the present governor of the State of California is responsible for this is absurd. The statement which he makes, that he put the Southern Pacific political machine out of existence is equally absurd. "The legislature, the republicanism of which could not be questioned, with James N. Gillett, governor, struck the blow which put the Southern Pacific machine in its grave. It was the inauguration of a railroad commission bill which forbade, among other things, the giving and accepting of passes. "So it has been with hundreds of other measures for betterment which the progressives claim as their property. The real struggle along these lines was to start the load. That struggle was made by the republican party, and the progressive administrators have simply ridden on the load and attempted to gather the fruits of a victory which they were not responsible for." An enthusiastic meeting of republicans of Pasadena recently indorsed the candidacy of Captain Fredericks. Frederick Fairbanks, son of the former vice-president, presided. He was authorized by motion unanimously carried to appoint a committee of 10 to form a permanent organization to further the candidacy of Fredericks. Among the speakers were O. D. Heald, F. C. Roberts, Edwin F. Hahn, Harry M. Ticknor, Harry Pitcher, Dr. Glideon S. Case, Rupert Turabull, C. C. Brown, Major C. M. Skillen, Ed Lockett, Judge George R. Davis, J. S. Miller, Mrs. Lucy Francisco, William F. Knight, Peter Orban and J. O. McKnight. Sportsmen of Orange County Up in Arms Against Proposed Amendment The initiative petition proposing to change the fish and game laws, has just been sent to this county for circulation, and did not take long for posted sportsmen to see the "nigger in the woodpile." The People's Fish and Game Protective Association is the big-sounding name of the organization that is back of the measure. This association, according to the statement of Game Warden Robinson, is composed chiefly of hotel men and wholesalers of fish and game. The association's strong card is the repeal of the law making it necessary for fishermen to take out a license, the license costing $1 per year. The real purpose of the measure is to kill the no-sales feature of the present law, section 2 of part L, providing that "no license shall be charged citizens of the state to fish in the waters of the state, with rod and line, when not for profit, and the legislature shall prescribe the fee which shall be paid by citizens of other states and by allens for license to fish with rod and line." The county is denied the power to restrict the privileges of holders of license to hunt and fish, and permits a resident of any country to hunt within the county without taking out a license. "The measure is simply an attempt to make it possible for hotel men and wholesalers to have game at all times," said Mr. Robinson. "They are using the fishing license, which is unpopular, as a strong argument in favor of their measure, and expect to get support through this. The new measure would do away with net fishing, too, and under it, it would not be long until we would be in the same position as Japan—fishless!" BREA MOURNS FOR HIM Sam Stone, ately in the tailoring business in Brea, can now be classed as "gone but not forgotten," for on last Friday Stone went to the city on business and forgot to return. Also when he went he took with him all that he had of any value. Stone started in business in Brea last September and immediately began to run credit accounts everywhere he could. But automobiles as a side line proved to be his undoing. He bought a lot on monthly payments from the Brea Townsite Company and bought a building from J. P. Hoffman also on monthly payments. Then he purchased a Ford car on the same basis. For a few months he made apparently herculean efforts to keep up the payments, but failing to do so, turned the Ford car back and invested in an old machine that cost him more for repairs than it was worth. Early in the morning grounds began comfortably crowded with friends and prizes. Twenty-four people were on the prowl of the city had no prizes. Some ondies and third prizes in all.

FARMS BETTER THAN MINES Half a billion dollars is the preliminary estimate of the value of the farm products of California for the current season. The primary prices for the principal products are set down at $475,000,000. Barley stands for $20,000,000 and other cereals for $11,000,000. In the previous paragraph is given the estimate for fruit, to which cantaloupes add $5,000,000. The dairy products run: Butter, $18,000,000; cheese, $1,000,000; condensed milk, $1,000,000; milk marketed, $12,000,000; calves, $2,500,000; skimmed milk and buttermilk, $1,500,000. The poultry yards yield $15,000,000 in eggs and $2,000,000 in poultry. Canned vegetables bring in $6,000,000, beans $11,000,000, potatoes, sugar beets, onions and garden truck generally $25,000,000. The olives of the state and their oil bring in $3,000,000, the products of the vineyards, with raisins left out, $30,000,000. Live stock gives $35,000,000, hops $4,000,000, cotton $1,500,000, nuts $4,000,000, wool $2,500,000, hay and forage $5,000,000, crude oil $5,000,000, gold $2,599,999, other mineral products $3999999. Other states may yield crops of larger value, but not to be divided among so small a population, not produced from the small acreage nor with so little labor, discomfort and trouble as the California horticulturists and agriculturists encounter in producing their crops. F. W. Birenbaum of Los Angeles spent several days in town with friends last week before leaving for his old home in La Crosse, Wis. After a visit of two months he will return and resume his position as bookkeeper in the Hamburger store. AVOID ARREST Be on the safe side, avoid a fine.

It was instigated, planned and managed by Karl Goetz, the teacher, who demonstrated that he was onto the job when it came to providing entertainment for a crowd composed of people of all ages and different temperament. The grounds of the Lutheran school being too small for the many gnats programmed for the day, the trustees of the Anaheim district offered them the use of the Central school grounds. Much carpenter work was done on the grounds the previous day. A music pavilion was erected, booths and stands of various kinds put up, and early in the morning the spacious grounds began to fill and soon were comfortably crowded with pupils, parents, friends and visitors. Twenty-four prize winning games were on the program, and merchants of the city had generously donated all the prizes. Some of them carried seconds and third, making at least fifty prizes in all. The fun opened at 9:30 with a ball game on the diamond east of the school between the German Lutheran and Fremont school nines. It was hotly contested, but the Fremont boys won by a close score, and carried off the mask which was the IN AND ABOUT COUNTY New Beet Digger A simple but efficient device for lifting beets from the grounds after the plow has been used and for topping the beets has recently been invented by Fred W. Wilkes, an Orange county beet grower. The pick is curved in such a manner that it holds to the beet until it is lifted from the ground, yet is easy to remove from the beet. On the end of the pick is a slot and clamp for attaching a knife to be used in topping the beet. By the use of this instrument beets can be pulled and tapped at a speed considerably greater than the old process which consists in cutting the roots loose, lifting the beet and cutting off the top. Mr. Wilkes already has a quantity of these picks ready for the market and no doubt will find ready sale for his labor-saving device. Son-In-Law Pays Fine Rita Gomez appeared in court and pleaded guilty to the charge of selling liquor. She was fined $100 by Judge Cox, who took into consideration the extreme old age of the defendant and was lenient with her. The witnesses in the case were all Mexicans and the judge was of opinion that her plea of guilty was the best way out of the whole matter. She lives in Talbert, and her son-in-law put up the money for the fine. La Habra's New School The new La Habra grammar school, bonds for which were voted Monday, is to cost between $30,000 and $35,000. J. Flood Walker of Santa Ana has received the commission as architect for the structure which will be one of most handsome in the northern end of the county. The school is to be one story in height and will be built about patios. A scheme of wide corridors will be used and this will aid in making the building extremely well lighted and airy. The entire design of the school will follow the Italian school of architecture. It has not yet been decided whether the walls will be of brick or re-inforced concrete, though it is certain that a patent plaster exterior will be used. Clay tilting of a rich brown tone will be used for the come and take a look at the Bertillions, and say whether or not he thought the fellow was the man who helped kill his son. The sheriff is leaving no stone unturned to lay hands on Vasquez, especially since he has learned that the Mexican has deserted from the federal army of Mexico, and is presumably once more on American soil. He deserted from the federal ranks nearly a week ago. Waterways Commission The board of supervisors is in receipt of a letter from the Inland Waterways Association, in which that body expresses its surprise that this county is not represented on the executive board of the association. This is a society having for its object the improvement of the Inland waterways of the state, and Orange county, through its board of supervisors, is invited to join. Auto Trucks For School Dealers representing a dozen or more different makes of auto trucks appeared with their machines Friday in a demonstration stunt before the high school trustees at Fullerton. The school now has in use five passenger trucks to carry pupils from the outlying districts to the school and return them to their homes. Two of these machines will carry 30 passengers each and the other three 15 each. Specifications for the new equipment were agreed upon Friday, and proposals to supply what is wanted will be opened the 10th of July. It is the plan at present to purchase two new trucks capable of carrying 50 passengers each, turning in two of the smaller early in the morning the spacious grounds began to fill and soon were comfortably crowded with pupils, parents, friends and visitors. Twenty-four prize winning games were on the program, and merchants of the city had generously donated all the prizes. Some of them carried seconds and third, making at least fifty prizes in all. The fun opened at 9:30 with a ball game on the diamond east of the school between the German Lutheran and Fremont school nines. It was hotly contested, but the Fremont boys won by a close score, and carried off the mask which was the prize. At 11 A.M. the children of the school rendered a number of songs, and they have some excellent signatures among the young folks in that school. After luncheon a short program was rendered by the pupils, beginning at 1 o'clock and at its close the contest began. Following is a program of the contests, the prizes awarded and their donors: Ball game...Fremont school Mask, by Leon Porter Sack race, 1st prize...L. Gottschalk Straw hat by F.A.

The school is to be one story in height and will be built about patios. A scheme of wide corridors will be used and this will aid in making the building extremely well lighted and airy. The entire design of the school will follow the Italian school of architecture. It has not yet been decided whether the walls will be of brick or re-inforced concrete, though it is certain that a patent plaster exterior will be used. Clay tilting of a rich brown tone will be used for the roof. There will be seven entrances to the building. A space of 196 by 111 feet will be occupied by the structure. Six class rooms, 26 by 30 feet, each with an individual coat room will occupy most of the floor space with the exception of the assembly room which is really an auditorium, being equipped with stage and dressing rooms. Other rooms in the school will be the principal's room, library, janitor's room and storage rooms. As is the case with many public buildings of late design the La Habra school will be so planned that rooms may be added by the extension of the wings. Center of Boulevards Seal Beach is to be the center of a network of boulevards leading to all parts of Orange county, connecting up with the boulevard system of Los Angeles. Within the next few months Seal Beach will be the main center or half-way house on the road to San Diego by way of the coast boulevard. The board of supervisors of Orange County has let the contract for the section of the Orange county good roads system between Westminster and the Los Angeles county line, and work will begin immediately. It is the intention of the supervisors to have work begin at both ends of this line. The Orange county line runs just a few hundred feet above Seal Beach, and the good roads system of Los Angeles county is finished up to that point. It is stated that the auto traffic to Seal Beach has increased several hundred per cent within the last five months. Brea's Development The town of Brea, youngest of Orange county's towns, marked another step in its rapid development from a hay field to a thriving community of 700 population when this week it entertained the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county. Three years ago the only manner in which half a dozen persons could have taken a meal where Brea now is would have been to eat it on the bare ground. Wednesday night 145 guests were banqueted by the Brea board of trade in one of the best town halls to be found in the county. Placards on the wall of the banquet hall gave an idea of the reasons for the establishment of Brea. One of those placards was: "Pay roll of $200,000 a month." Another was: "Population in 1911 was 0; in 1914 it was 700; in 1920 will be 7,000." More illuminating than either of these was a pla- High jump...John Heitsheusen Box candy, R.

An orchestra from Schmidt & Kuhrsch's music store furnished the melody for the occasion, and turned out a grade of music that was appreciated even by the trained ears of the auditors. The generosity of those who donated prizes, the Anaheim school board for giving them free use of the grounds, and all who contributed to the success of the festivities have received a vote of thanks from the committee. Commerce of Orange county. Three years ago the only manner in which half a dozen persons could have taken a meal where Brea now is would have been to eat it on the bare ground.

Another was: "Population in 1911 was 0; In 1914 it is 700; in 1920 will be 7,000." More illuminating than either of these was a placard giving the production of the Brea oil district which does not include Olinda nor the Buena Park section. These production figures were: Oil, 50,000 barrels a day; gasoline, 27,000 barrels a day. This figures out, at 80 cents a barrel for oil, $14,600,000; for oil and gasoline at 14 cents,$1,379,000 per annum. The development of the oil fields of Orange county has been one of the marvels of the oil industry in California. At Brea is situated the wonderful gusher owned by A. Otis Birch of Los Angeles, which well for three years has brought its owner in about $3,000 a day. A Beautiful Home Plans for what will undoubtedly be one of the most palatial residences in the northern part of the county are being completed by Elwang and Tedford of Santa Ana for J. W. Hetebrink. The residence is to cost about $15,000 and will be built on East Chapman avenue, Fullerton. The Hetebrink residence will be two stories in height and will follow the Moorfish style of architecture throughout. Gray granite faced cement brick will be used for the first story and for the second will be used white cement brick. The roof will be of red Spanish tilling. Thinks He's Vasquez The sheriff of Tulare county is of the opinion that he has Pasqual Vasquez, wanted for the Wardlow murder, in his possession.

He could not see well so he lighted a match and held it over the opening in the tank. There was a terrific explosion and the Jap was blown a distance of 25 feet, but was not injured. The pump house caught fire, but the flames were extinguished by neighbors after a part of the paint had burned down. The engine and pump were saved. The damage is only a few hundred dollars.
