G.O.P. WILL NOT ENDORSE GOV. JOHNSON HE WILL NOT SEEK NOMINATION BY PARTY WHICH HE HAS SOUGHT TO DESTROY COULD NOT HAVE IT IF HE ASKED FOR IT, IS SHREWD, KEEPS OUT OF FIGHT The announcement that Governor Hiram W. Johnson has refused the request of his supporters who wished him to have his name placed on the republican primary ballot as well as on that of the progressives will surprise nobody who is acquainted with the California executive's reputation for political shrewdness. At first thought, it might seem a brilliant stroke for Johnson bodily to invade the enemy's country by having his name on the republican primary ballot as a candidate for the republican nomination for governor. But a little reflection will show that such a course would be suicidal. For unless Johnson polled at the primary the tremendous republican vote which his friends say he will receive at the November election and in which, they confess, lies his only hope for success, the result of the primary would be a clear demonstration of Johnson's defeat two months in advance of that election. For it is safe to assume that those weak-kneed republicans—be their number large or small—who contemplate voting in November for the avowed enemies of their party would certainly Wilson, who was killed in an affray on his ranch at Garden Grove. Her stepson, Ray A. Wilson, who is the executor of his father's estate, objects to this allowance being given his father's widow, and has filed an answer to her petition. In the answer, he alleges that the debts of the estate are of greater magnitude than $50 and that he personally has expended the sum of $200 for the estate. The household goods were valued at $58, and the cash amounted to $318.55. Against this amount there are claims aggregating $265, with more to come. The answer claims that the widow should not get any allowance at all, and in any event $50 per month is too much. ELKS GATHER AT SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO 300 Members Attend Annual Barbecue at Foster's Ranch Sunday One of the annual events looked forward to by the Orange County Elks is the gathering of the herd at the Foster Brothers' ranch at San Juan Capistrano. Sunday was the day fixed this year, and three hundred members of the order responded to the invitation and trekked down to the old mission town to partake of the good things provided by their hosts, and enjoy a sociable time. Those who went from Anaheim were H. M. Adams, H. G. Ames, H. P. Noll, Pete Nicolas, C. Barrett and B. V. Beebe. Although there is but one lodge of Elks in Orange county there are members of the order throughout its length and breadth, and every section of the county was represented at this notable gathering. The principal attraction was a barbecue, and the Foster barbecue has become famous, being always anticipated with pleasure by those who issued by the Yorba Linda pany are to be canceled users pass into imminent water rights, a company that supplies of the Yorba Linda The defendants are concessions. The water users in attorneys' fees. According to the Los Angeles men pany with the Janus Inv as selling agents. The testimony of taken during the trial has been on trial before shows the buyers traf for water rights were told that the stock had no incur share of the sales and the Stern Resa the water stock wit son polled at the primary the tremendous republican vote which his friends say he will receive at the November election and in which, they confess, lies his only hope for success, the result of the primary would be a clear demonstration of Johnson's defeat two months in advance of that election. For it is safe to assume that those weak-kneed republicans—be their number large or small—who contemplate voting in November for the avowed enemy of their party would certainly support him at the nominating primary, should his name appear on the republican ballot. The count of the votes cast at the primary would thus disclose just how much republican support Johnson could expect at the general election. The governor obviously does not care to put his candidacy to this acid test. He is presumably heeding the old saying that while there is life there is hope. He prefers, in spite of all that has been said about his strength with republicans, not to force a show down two months before the November election. And his refusal to do so can be accepted as a confession of fear and weakness. For if Johnson and his gang believe one-half of what they have been telling the people about republicans backing the governor to continue his "stewardship," they would not refuse a test that would conclusively establish the truth or the falsity of their wild claims. But other progressives who are candidates for state offices are now reported to be preparing to seek the test that Governor Johnson declines. Among those who are said to be contemplating the step are Attorney General U. S. Webb, Controller J. S. Chambers and Surveyor General W. S. Kingsbury, candidate for re-election. But why, it may be asked, are these aspirants willing to put their fortunes to the touch which the governor refused? Do they regard themselves as stronger than Johnson with the people? There are probably several motives actuating the trio. In the first place, none of these three candidates has ever been prominently identified with the progressive party. Their former affiliations were with the republican organization—the republican "machine" if you will. Two of them were beneficiaries of the old Santa Cruz convention, over whose memory, according to a shred political observer, the Johnsonites are still rolling their eyes in holy horror. And while of late these Annaheim were H. M. Adams, H. G. Ames, H. P. Noll, Pete Nicolas, C. Barrett and B. V. Beebe. Although there is but one lodge of Elks in Orange county there are members of the order throughout its length and breadth, and every section of the county was represented at this notable gathering. The principal attraction was a barbecue, and the Foster barbecue has become famous, being always anticipated with pleasure by those who have been privileged to participate in former years. The action of the Elks' convention at Denver last week modifying the laws and permitting the establishment of lodges in cities of five thousand population makes it reasonably certain that Anaheim will shortly be the home of a lodge of this popular order. There are now in the neighborhood of 75 Elks in Anahelm, Fullerton, Placentia and other points within easy reach of this city. These members contemplated the organization of a lodge here some years ago, but the adoption of a law prohibiting lodges in towns having less than 10,000 population nipped the scheme in the bud. Under the new ruling it is probable that the old idea will be revived and a lodge organized here. WALNUT GROWERS WILL SAVE MONEY Elimination of the Brokers Expected to Add to Revenue Walnut growers of the state expect to save about $60,000 in brokerage on this season's crop. The saving will be affected by a new method of disposing of the crop. In past seasons brokers have been allowed 6 per cent commission with an increased commission of 1½ per cent for cash. The new policy which the central body has adopted for disposing of this year's crop will be in the nature of experiment—it looks good, but whether it will "pan out" as well as it appears remains to be seen. The central organization will deal direct with wholesalers, and R. M. Hargrave, president of the walnut association, at Orange, and a member of the central organization, is authority for the statement that all the crop has been absorbed by wholesalers, at a price to be made later. Wholesalers will get a commission of 2 per cent with the Janss Invite as selling agents. The testimony of taken during the trial shows the buyers paid tra for water rights were told that the stock had no incurrence share of the sales and the Stern Reasoned water stock with until the payments it was alleged that of the Yorba Linda bonds of $175,000 was any consideration, or Investment Company began to be interested on these bonds objected. A majority of the formed Water Company and brought suit Heney and Carr and counsel. The fees came to $33,000, prices ever paid in a county. The main citation has been to issue to be irregular say that the only one of the legal rights. A meeting of held on Monday and plained the proposed which were ratified. The defendants are $175,000 bonds and issue stock to all how to allow an election pany and to charge against the Yorba Linda pany.

A novelty of the attorney fees upon pany is that a large users who refused citation and agree to off of the costs of prosecute will have to pay share as those who sociation and fought other novelty is that promoters still own Yorba Linda and willthe attorney fees. Under the new mbe be proposed to comment of the water amble for all needs, are probably several motives accusing the trio. In the first place, none of these three candidates has ever been prominently identified with the progressive party. Their former affiliations were with the republican organization—the republican "machine" if you will. Two of them were benefiaries of the old Santa Cruz convention, over whose memory, according to a shred political observer, the Johnsonites are still rolling their eyes in holy horror. And while of late these three gentlemen have been nominally progressives, they have not been on the firing line—they were not in the ranks at Armageddon. Presumably they are expecting republican support for the sake of aud lang syne. It is probable, too, that their purpose to go on the republican ballot is in line with the general progressive program of breaking up party lines and having the election as non-partisan as possible—the favorite resort of those hopelessly in the minority. And in no better way can party lines be obliterated than by muddling issues and making long ballots more complicated and puzzling to the average voter. The "reform" election laws now in force in this state are powerful aids to those who would introduce political chaos into ballot contests. It ought not to be legally possible for a progressive to have his name printed on a republican primary ballot. That procedure smacks of fraud—of an attempt to humbug voters, many of whom are only too easily duped. It appears, however, that that sort of skulldugery is permissible under the direct primary law, and that this form of Knavlash trickery is likely to be forced upon the republican ballot. OBJECTS TO ALLOWANCE Mrs. Estella Wilson has asked for a family allowance of $50 a month from the estate of her late husband, I. O. The central organization will deal directly with wholesalers, and R. M. Hargrave, president of the walnut association, at Orange, and a member of the central organization, is authority for the statement that all the crop has been absorbed by wholesalers, at a price to be made later. Wholesalers will get a commission of 2 per cent with 1½ added for cash. This season's production will be about two-thirds of normal, in the opinion of Mr. Hargrave, and of a high grade quality. J. S. Averill of Orange, while picking blackberries Friday was shot through the arm, the bullet evidently being a stray. He had heard someone shooting in the neighborhood before and after receiving the wound, but the man could not be located. Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Bell of Anaheim were guests of Mrs. Jane Barnes of Monrovia Monday. Mr. Bell and Prof. Barnes, who is spending the summer at the Barnes home in Monrovia, were schoolmates in Ohio many years ago and spent a pleasant afternoon with reminiscences of their boyhood days. More freak innovations and good examples come from the wind-swept prairies of Kansas than from any other state in the Union. The latest stunt of the Jayhawkers' is the establishment of a date upon which all men shall pay their debts and all persons, male and female, shall return whatsoever they have borrowed. The investigators of this move probably figure that the 168 million bushel wheat crop recently harvested will square all the state's indebtedness and start its three million people even-handed with the world.

YORBA LINDA'S WATER SUIT SETTLED COMPROMISE AGREED UPON BETWEEN WATER USERS AND THE PROMOTERS MONDAY HENEY AND CARR RECEIVE FEES OF $33,000, LARGEST EVER PAID IN LOCAL SUIT The Yorba Linda Water Users' Association has agreed to compromise with Peter Janss, H. W. Frank, Jacob Stern and M. A. Newmark, all well-known Los Angeles capitalists, in its suit over riparian rights. The $175,000 bonds issued by the Yorba Linda Water Company are to be cancelled and the water users pass into immediate control of the water rights, pumping plant and company that supplies the 3,000 acres of the Yorba Linda tract with water. The defendants are to obtain certain concessions. The water users are to pay $33,000 in attorneys' fees. According to the complaint, the four Los Angeles men promoted the tract with the Janas Investment Company as selling agents. The testimony of several witnesses taken during the three weeks the case has been on trial before Judge Thomas, shows the buyers paid $50 an acre extra for water rights. They said they were told that the water rights and stock had no incumbrances. A large share of the sales were on contracts and the Stern Realty Company held the water stock with its voting power. CAPT. FREDERICKS A STRONG MAN That the republican party will be returned to the control of the affairs of the State of California at the November election seems now to be a foregone conclusion. In almost every section of the state the registration returns indicate that a vast majority of the voters who two years ago were led astray by false promises and the alluring cry of "reform" have discovered the error of their ways and are returning to their party allegiance. With these figures as a guide it is a safe prediction that the republican majority this year will be a decidedly substantial one. At the same time it is essential, if the victory is to be as marked as it should be, that the man selected to head the ticket should be an exceptionally strong man—a man not alone of unquestioned public and private probity, but one of recognized public ability. It matters not what section of the state he may hall from, provided only that his record be such as to command the confidence of the people in his executive ability and honesty of purpose. We believe that Captain John D. Fredericks of Los Angeles most thoroughly meets these important qualifications, and for this reason endorse his candidacy for governor. While as yet but few of the republican papers of the northern portion of the state have announced their stand on this important question, we believe that as the campaign progresses a very considerable majority of the leaders of public opinion will recognize the splendid qualifications of Captain Fredericks and rally to his support. In Captain Fredericks the republican party would have a candidate at the head of its ticket who has already commanded nation wide attention. JONATHAN KRAEMER ILL WITH SMALLPOX Returns to Ranch at Durango, Falls Victim to Epidemic Benjamin Kraemer is in receipt of a letter from his brother Jonathan at Durango, Mexico, in which he writes he is recovering from several weeks' illness from smallpox, during which his life was at one time despaired of. Jonathan returned to his Mexican ranch some months ago, following his departure on a refugee train for El Paso, when Villa's constitutional army was engaged in robbing everybody in the northern part of the war-swopt nation. He had been robbed of his money and provisions by so-called constitutionalists, and he and Camille Allec and family followed advice of the American consel and left for the nearest Texas point. Both are now on their ranches, and despite Jonathan's serious illness, he looks forward to a period of prosperity in his section, provided the revolutionists do not further molest him. Crops, he says, are looking splendidly, although a downpour of 25 inches of rain in one week threatened to flood them out. Allec is engaged in his lambing season, a portion of his flock having been left by Villa, after about 4,000 head had been taken. In one afternoon Villa's men came to Allec's ranch and killed 700 sheep before sundown. A demand for $500 was made upon him, and he was given eight days to procure the money. When the Mexicans returned at the appointed hour, he went into hiding, and remained in seclusion behind rocks in a creek for a month. His meals were carried to him by his 14-year-old son at night. The lad is now with relatives at Placentia. The boy's hiding place was revealed by a cholo employee, who were whin- with the Janasa Investment Company as selling agents. The testimony of several witnesses taken during the three weeks the case has been on trial before Judge Thomas, shows the buyers paid $50 an acre extra for water rights. They said they were told that the water rights and stock had no incumbrances. A large share of the sales were on contracts and the Stern Realty Company held the water stock with its voting power until the payments were made. It was alleged that with this control of the Yorba Linda Water Company, bonds of $175,000 were issued without any consideration, held by the Janas Investment Company. When assessments began to be levied to pay interest on these bonds the water users objected. A majority of the property owners formed the Water Users' Association and brought suit with Attorneys Heney and Carr and J. T. Farraher as counsel. The fees of these attorneys came to $33,000, probably the biggest fees ever paid in a case tried in this county. The main fight of the association has been to prove the bond issue to be irregular. The defendants say that the only real question has been one of the legal aspects of riparian rights. A meeting of the association was held on Monday and the attorneys explained the proposed compromisers which were ratified by the association. The defendants are to give up the $175,000 bonds and to immediately issue stock to all holders of contracts, to allow an election in the water company and to charge the attorney fees against the Yorba Linda Water Company. Since the Water Users' Association, with the contract holders included, has 53 per cent of the stock, it will elect its own board of directors. A novelty of the settlement of the attorney fees upon the water company is that a large number of water users who refused to join the association and agree to pay their pro rata of the costs of prosecution of the case will have to pay just as much per share as those who went into the association and fought the battle. Another novelty is that the Los Angeles promoters still own some land at Yorba Linda and will have to help pay the attorney fees. Under the new management it will be proposed to complete the development of the water supply, which is ample for all needs, and supply water yet but few of the republican papers of the northern portion of the state have announced their stand on this important question, we believe that as the campaign progresses a very considerable majority of the leaders of public opinion will recognize the splendid qualifications of Captain Fredericks and rally to his support. In Captain Fredericks the republican party would have a candidate at the head of its ticket who has already commanded nation-wide attention. For 12 years as district attorney of Los Angeles county he has met the most brilliant legal talent and proven conclusively that Los Angeles county is an unsafe place for evil-doers, but a place where life and property are secure and where law-abiding, peaceful, home-loving people can pursue their avocations in safety. At the same time, we find in this able prosecutor, who has enforced the laws without fear or favor, a man of the deepest sympathies, a friend of the friendless, a man in sympathetic touch with all walks of life. That he is a man of marked executive ability is proven by his conduct of the office which he has held for the past 12 years. During that time the city and county of Los Angeles has grown rapidly in population and commercial importance, and the problems confronting the community have become so complex and numerous that other departments of the local government have been literally overwhelmed. The district attorney's office, under the splendid executive management, Capt. Fredericks, has risen superior to every emergency and was especially triumphant in one of the greatest crises that ever confronted a district attorney in the United States. His administration throughout has been aptly described by the Woman's Republican League in a recent endorsement as "able and impartial," and his public and private life as "free from the taint of any demagogy or attempt to appeal to class hatred." From his speeches delivered thus far in the campaign we could quote at length to show that he is peculiarly qualified for the position of governor and will fulfill every expectation of his fellow citizens and be loyal to the highest interests of California. Captain Fredericks believes that the fundamental principles of the republican party are the best that have thus far been formulated for the government of this country and that real subway Villa's men came to Allec's ranch and killed 700 sheep before sundown. A demand for $500 was made upon him, and he was given eight days to procure the money. When the Mexicans returned at the appointed hour, he went into hiding, and remained in seclusion behind rocks in a creek for a month. His meals were carried to him by his 14-year-old son at night. The lad is now with relatives at Placentia. The boy's hiding place was revealed by two cholo employees, who were whipped by the Mexicans to obtain this information. The boy was in turn whipped by them, but refused to reveal his father's hiding place. He was taken away 40 miles and held for ransom. He made his escape at night and reached his father's home following day. Allec has a wonderfully rich gold mine near Durango, which assays more than $400 gold to the ton. The ledge is 18 feet wide, and if the country ever comes out of its troublous times he will develop the property. ST. CATHERINE'S BOYS ENJOYING PRESENTS Athletic Devices Erected on Playground by Visitors From Los Angeles St. Catharine's Orphanage received a visit on Sunday, July 12, from a number of Los Angeles friends which brought joy to that institution. The visit and the deeds accompanying it were appreciated by the sisters in charge, and will be remembered with gratitude by the 170 inmates of the orphanage. Forty ladies and gentlemen were in the party, the ladies belonging to the Ladies of St. Joseph's Circle, Holy Cross parish, and the gentlemen coming from St. Vincent de Paul parish. The visit was more of a charitable than a sociable one as the gentlemen from St. Vincent's brought with them swings and athletic devices of various kinds which they erected on the spacious play ground in the rear of the big building. It is evident from the manner in which the boys swarm around the various appariati that they fully appreciate this addition to their sporting outfit. The ladies of St. Joseph's Circle came laden with clothing which was a very acceptable acquisition to the wardrobes of the requirement of Under the new management it will be proposed to complete the development of the water supply, which is ample for all needs, and supply water at cost to the ranchers. Yorba Linda is located on slightly rolling foothills at the mouth of the Santa Ana Canyon. The 3,000 acres was sold to men and women, most of whom have their places set to oranges and lemons. The district is one of the newest in the county, and is known as frostless. The settlement of this case is conceded to be the starting of another era of development in that section. A novel feature at the close of the trial at 9:45 o'clock Monday night was the winding up of the case with prayer. Judge Thomas declared that the case had been settled in accordance with Christian spirit. "If this is so," said the judge, "I call upon Yorba Linda to close this trial with prayer, thanking God for the termination of this legal battle." Rev. W. H. Bertram, pastor of the Friends' church, arose and in fervid manner poured out thanksgiving of the people of Yorba Linda for the raising of a cloud that he said had long depressed them. The trial of the action of Jerome Bros. against the Massachusetts Bonding Company for $2,000 was set for July 30. The plaintiffs seek to recover from the insurance company for a judgment entered in favor of Sld Smithwick, whose leg was broken by the kick of a mule while Smithwick was at work for Jerome Bros. at Myford. Captain Fredericks believes that the fundamental principles of the republican party are the best that have thus far been formulated for the government of this country and that real substantial progress can be achieved through that party. He is essentially a man of the people. He is as familiar with the implements of the farm as with the instruments of the courts. When the Young Republicans sought him to urge upon him the duty he owed to the people and finally won his consent to become a candidate for governor, they found him working upon the broad acres of his ranch beneath the canopy of the heavens. A striking contrast between Capt. Fredericks and Governor Johnson may be found in their respective attitudes on woman's suffrage. When woman's suffrage was a serious political issue in California, Capt. Fredericks appointed in his office the first woman deputy district attorney in the United States. He made speeches advocating the adoption of Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 8, permitting women to vote, when Johnson was advocating recalls, initiatives and referendums but observed an impenetrable silence that no woman could break on the subject of woman's suffrage. Beet sugar is to be advertised in the near future as "Southern California sugar," because it is a tremendous industry in Southern California, and the sugar people believe that citizens of Southern California will loyally support it when it is known that beet sugar is one of the chief products of their own locality. St. Catharine's Orphanage is under the dominion of the Sisters of St. Dominic. It is a huge pile of buildings, capable of accommodating 200 inmates. At present there are 170 boys in the place, ranging in age from 2 to 14 years. Judging from the animated faces and joyous antics of the boys when loosed from the school rooms into the playground they have found an excellent substitute for the homes which fate has denied them. Being a charitable institution gifts that will benefit or add to the pleasure of the children are welcomed by the sisters in charge, and they particularly wish to extend their grateful thanks to the ladies and gentlemen from Los Angeles who remembered their dependent charges and so generously contributed to their welfare and enjoyment.
