POLITICAL SNAPSHOTS (By the Innocent Bystander) Governor Hiram Johnson has come and gone, and while here he tasted the people of this section to a characteristic exhibition of brag and bluster, his argument being confined to claiming everything in sight including laws that were placed on the statutes before he was ever thought of as a gubernatorial possibility, his several addresses being varied by vitrolic denunciation of any and all who dare to question that anything done by his administration was all that it should be. The plain statement of facts as shown by the records as given here by Senator Curtin was ignored and the democratic candidate for governor brushed aside as beneath the notice of the governor, while Capt. Fredericks was bitterly assailed as a "reactionary", whatever that may mean in this connection, and the supporters of the republican candidate for governor bunched together as a "black band," a "piratical crew," "rats that have again appeared after having been sent scurrying to their holes four years ago", by Hiram and his band of Christian soldiers. The governor had a crowded house, as Santa Ana is proverbially fond of a free show, but many present made mental comparison between the tirade of abuse offered as argument and the straight-forward, many methods of Captain Fredericks and their final judgment will doubtless be much influenced by the process. The governor made explanation that seemingly satisfied himself of some of the charges against his administration, but he sedulously avoided mention of the alleged "scandal of the State Superintendent of Bank's office" and left Senator Curtin's story without denial. Curtin's story is practically as follows: Section 120 of the statutes of California, as enacted in 1909, before Johnson's administration, provides that the Superintendent of Banks shall be appointed by the governor and shall hold his office for a term of four years, and that "No person shall be appointed Superintendent of Banks who has not had actual banking experience, ness, put him in another place about which he knows nothing, and double his salary? Would ordinary business sagacity suggest that Mr. Williams would make a better bank superintendent, about the duties of which he knew nothing, than he was state treasurer, a business which the state had paid him to learn? Why did they remove the qualifications in their amendment? Is it to be supposed that a man unfamiliar with banking would be a better bank superintendent than a man who had had experience in banking? Would the removal of the president of any of our banks and the appointment of any man who had had no banking experience establish confidence on the part of the stockholders or depositors in that bank? The removable of those qualifications was not done for the purpose of making the law any better, but solely for the purpose of making Williams eligible to the position to which he was not then eligible and should not be eligible, and to provide a soft job for one of Hiram's pets. And why was the tenure of the office changed from four years to "the pleasure of the governor?" So if Hiram's pet jumped the fence or refused to take orders, he could be removed. The California highway commission has completed its trips of inspection over the mountain roads and the routes east of the Sierraras, and has instructed the highway engineer "to cause to be made through the several division engineers and their assistants such recannalssances and studies of the lateral state highways connecting the county seats with the trunk lines as may be necessary in anticipation of the construction surveys." This refers particularly to the laterals which are to "tie up" Alturas, Susanville, Quincy, Oroville, Downville, Nevada City, Auborn, Jackson, San Andres, Mariposa, Conoroa, Markleeville, Bridgeport and Independence to the great valley trunk line and the rest of the state. The commissioners personally went over the alternative routes into the county seats, traveling more than 2000 miles of roads and conferring with county officials and others informed as to probable routes. Commissioners Blaney, Darlington and Stern are agreed that the state which are beginning to fill the fall and the middle west market, according to the Pacific Fruit ard states that it is creased over last that his company equipment 800 of frigrator cars.

Ind future big increase to the extremely h Section 120 of the statutes of California, as enacted in 1909, before Johnson's administration, provides that the Superintendent of Banks shall be appointed by the governor and shall hold his office for a term of four years, and that "No person shall be appointed Superintendent of Banks who has not had actual banking experience, either as executive officer or director of some commercial bank, savings bank or trust company, at least one-half of which experience has been had in this state." Alden Anderson, who was Lieutenant-Governor in Governor Pardee's administration, was appointed by Gov. Gillett as superintendent of Banks, and was a practical banker. But he had the temerity to run for Governor against Hiram Jahnson, and consequently was persona non grata. His term had not expired. Johnson wanted him out. He also wanted his friend Williams, then State Treasurer, to get a better job, as William's salary was only $5000 a year, while the Superintendent of Banks drew a salary of $10,000. But Williams had had no banking experience, and was not elibigle. So the legislature by act of 1911 amended Section 120 of the former act by omitting all qualifications for the office and providing that "he shall be appointed by the governor and shall hold office at the pleasure of the governor." Johnson signed this bill one month after he became governor. Alden Anderson was legislated out of office; Williams was appointed, and the political fence strengthened by the appointment of Ed. Roberts, Bull Moose boss of San Bernardino, to the position of state treasurer. The points made by Curtin are these: Williams was not a banker, had had no banking experience whatsoever. Did Johnson think that Ed Roberts would make a better treasurer than Williams, who was elected by the people to the office and had some experience in it? He was taking a long chance unless he knew that Williams was incompetent. And if Williams is incompetent as state treasurer, in a business about which he know something, what reason should Johnson think that he would be competent as Superintendent of Banks, when he knew nothing about the banking system? Is it good business to take an incompetent man out of a place where he knows something about the business so avoidily avoided mention of the alleged "scandal of the State Superintendent of Bank's office" and left Senator Curtin's story without denial.

Commissioners Blaney, Darlington and Stern are agreed that the state highway will be extended to all the mountain and easterly counties and that the county seats named will be included in the state highway system. The forthcoming number of the Highway Bulletin will devote considerable attention to the problem of California's mountain roads. Construction of the Tejon trunk road from Los Angeles to Bakerstield and the San Joaquin Valley, work along the Coast Range in the Sacramento Canyon and between San Diego and Imperial Valley in connection with county seat laterals now decided upon will make California the greatest mountain-road-building state in the union. It is a human falling to wait until last minute before taking active precautionary steps, although not everyone is as dillatory as the Arkansas fiddler who didn't patch his roof when it rained because he couldn't on account of the rain,and didn't patch it when it was not raining because then it did not need it. Cities and counties throughout Southern California this month started active work on bridge construction by taking bids and letting contracts where satisfactory proposals were received. And in some sections really serious thought appears to be given during last few weeks to prevent a recurrence of the widespread damage caused by last winter's heavy rainfall. Some of the bridge construction work gotten under way this month and other protection work contemplated for the immediate future will be fortunate if it reaches completion without danger from the rains. While the heaviest rainstain may be expected with some certainty during the latter part of the winter,early rains are by no means beyondthe scopeof probability and they may occur at most any time now with a resultant increase in surface ground waters to make progress on construction work difficult and possibly costly to unfortunate contractor. The flow water in some ofthe streamsof Southern California has continued in greater volume this summer than it appeared in some years,and it would not require very much rain to cause serious hindrance or loss to uncompleted work in certain localities. The best and safest time to start such work is before the summer is well along. At this time there can be many opportunities to enlarge support dock and Jackson possibility along both Wesley. Word also compares Lester's friendly ororous efforts to enquiries as shown here. The Nyal Idea... In the first place let it be thoroughly understood that Nyal Remedies are not patent medicines, nor are they secret nostrums. When it comes to medicine you have a right to know what you are taking, and for this reason the Nyal Company places in the hands of all Nyal druggists the formulas for these home prescriptions. The Nyal drugists can tell you all about Nyal Remedies, what each preparation contains—how it acts—and why. Knowing the Nyal qualities so well he is naturally filled with confidence, hence he prefers to sell you Nyal Family Remedies. Heying's Pharmacy ANAHEIM Nyal Agency It is estimated that the production of the oil fields of the state for the month just ended will appear at about 8,500,000 barrels—500,000 barrels less than in September—when the figures are issued. The retrenchment policy had a more pronounced effect on the output than during August, as it had not then been operative for a sufficient length of time. Companies in all sections of the state have been reducing the extent of their activities, and were it not for the large gushers which are still keeping up their flow, a much more pronounced decline in the output would appear. No accurate idea of the consumption for the month can be obtained. However, it is believed that the exports to foreign countries (which, however, constitute only a small part of the total consumption), will show a substantial increase. Shipments of crude from San Francisco customs district for the first three weeks of last month totaled nearly 20,000,000 gallons, while about 14,000,000 gallons of refined oil were sent out. At this rate the exports for the month would run about 45,000,000, although the irregularity of the shipments prohibits any estimate on the basis of average, except for an extended period. Preparations are underway by the refrigerator lines in Los Angeles to handle the big shipments of calery, lettuce and other green vegetables ANAHEIM GAZETTE WATER COMPANY IN REGULAR SESSION REPORTS OF SUPERINTENDENT AND FINANCE COMMITTEE SUBMITTED AND APPROVED TRANSFER OF SEVERAL BLOCKS OF SHARES AUTHORIZED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS A regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company was held on Saturday, with all members present. Minutes of the last regular meeting were read and approved. Director Wickett reported a level and stick had been purchased for the superintendent's use. Ditch committee reported it would take about 1500 feet of 14 inch pipe to pipe the open ditch on N. West St. The committee was given more time. The report of the finance committee was read and approved and warrants ordered drawn in payment of the various demands therein recommended. The report of the treasurer, secretary and superintendent were each in turn received and filed. On motion duly seconded director Sherwood was instructed to prepare information for a right of way for the N. Branch pipe line and furnish same to the attorney who was instructed to draw up the agreement. On motion duly seconded the following transfers of stock were granted: 5 shares from Josephine B. Girmus and Edith Girmus Walker to Josephine B. Girmus, 7 shares from August Gebert Mtg of F. A. Backs, 10 shares from C. E. McFadden to Francis S. Gelwicks. On motion duly seconded Asst. Supt. Parrett was instructed to furnish the city of Fullerton engineer with a sketch of the company's lines, ditches, etc., in the city of Fullerton. which are beginning to go forward to fill the fall and holiday demand of the middle western and eastern market, according to B. F. Howard, of the Pacific Fruit Express. Mr. Howard states that shipments have increased over last year so appreciably that his company has added to its equipment 800 of the latest patent refrigerator cars. The importance of the winter shipments of celery and other vegetables from Southern California is understood when it is learned that the total commercial value of the products to be forwarded by rail within the next few months will amount to approximately $5,900,000. The shipments will include 3000 cars of celery, 1500 of tomatoes, 1500 of lettuce and 100 of asparagus. The celery averages about $1000 per car, the lettuce $800, the tomatoes $1000, while the asparagus, produced in smaller quantities, brings $2000 per car. There are this year 5000 acres in Southern California devoted to celery culture, with 3000 acres located in Los Angeles county, mostly around El Monte, and the remaining 2000 acres lying in Orange county in the Smoltzer and Bolsa district. The average in Orange county has shown a considerable decrease year by year, while in Los Angeles county is steadily being added to. White men are engaged in celery raising, but most of the other kinds of vegetables produced around Los Angeles come from the Japanese gardeners. Lettuce, the parisite vegetable subject to eastern shipment, is practically ready to be loaded into the cars. Within two weeks many cars will be in transit, meaning the speedy return of a large amount of money to Los Angeles county growers. It is reported that the large tomato crop in Mexico, which usually is exported into the United States, has been destroyed or left unpicked. This will assure the California growers of a substantial price for their output this season. The asparagus which does not receive shipment until much later, will all come from Imperial Valley, the only place in Southern California where it has so far been grown on a large scale. Indications point to a future big increase in acreage owing to the extremely high prices commanded by this much desired vegetable.

Indications point to a future big increase in acreage owing to the extremely high prices commanded by this much-desired vegetable. Citrus history is being made under our very eyes. Up to last Thursday the orange and lemon shipments from the state for the season had totalled 46,322 cars, with 1600 cars still to go. The best previous record for any one season was that of 1910-11—46,399 cars. In other words, the forwarding of seventy-seven more cars will put this season equal with the record of the best previous season. Then will begin the work of topping the record with 1623 additional cars, making a new grand seasonal record of 47,922 cars—all fruit of extraordinarily fine quality. More significant is, that this great record will be made but one season from frose. Two winters ago, timely, not to say unreasonable, temperatures partially ruined the citrus crop of this state, and the gravest doubts were expressed for the continued or renewed fruitfulness of the orchards. "The groves have come back," said Assistant General Manager Dezell of the California Fruit Grower's Exchange, last week, in commenting on the season's showing. Politics is "mighty unsartain" at all times, and therefore nothing but a guess can be made at what will happen in the Superior Judgeship fight in this county, but from all over the county the news comes seeping in that a large majority of the stalwart republicans are going to solidly support R. Y. Williams to avoid all possible entanglements with the proponents of outside issues. And according to certain progressives this makes W. H. Thomas' chances much better than they would otherwise be, as he is considered holding the age over Judge West, with the progressives in cans it comes to a choice between the two, and they will single-hit him instead of taking chances on electing both West and Thomas. The sheriff fight has resolved itself into a still hunt for voters who supported Wassum, and both Rudock and Jackson are overlooking no possibility along that line. Word also comes that county auditor Lester's friends are making vigorous efforts to effect a change in the returns as shown at the primary election, and they do say that because of On motion duly seconded the following transfers of stock were granted. 5 shares from Josephine B.

LIVE STOCK INDUSTRY Contrary to all predictions, the number and value of horses, as well as all other kinds of livestock, are increasing in California. There are now in this state approximately a half million horses at a valuation about 460,000,000, and the importation of pure-bread stock has been greater during the past year than during any preceding year in the history of the state. Of course it must be admitted that the trotting horse, the coacher, and the finer harness breeds have not found it profitable to increase their numbers. Drafters are in the best form notwithstanding the extending use of the tractor. In dairy products California is yet backward in the production of cheese. While we produce considerably in excess of 55,500,000 pounds of butter annually, we produce less than 9,000,000 pounds of cheese. The value of the butter product is $18,500,000 market milk $11,000,000 while the total for all dairy products is approximately $34,000,000. According to the census for 1910, the number of dairy cows kept for milk in this state was 464,329; valued at $18,478,076; or an average of $33.80 each.

Word also comes that county auditor Lester's friends are making vigorous efforts to effect a change in the returns as shown at the primary election, and they do say that because of the activity of cortisla banking interests in behalf of Lester's opponent there will be a much different story to tell in Lester's favor on November 4th. Public spirited men and women all over California are uniting in support of the "Non Sale of Game" act, proposition No. 18 on the November ballot. The response to the "call for help" sent out by the press, of the state has been truly gratifying to all who desire to see California's attractiveness and general prosperity maintained. Among those who are urging the people to vote "Yes" upon this measure are prominent businessmen, authors, lawyers, labor leaders, preachers, superintendents of schools, club women and the press almost unanimously. Professors in both Stanford and the University of California have interested themselves actively in the matter; all public spirted woodsmen and hunters favor it; the California Fish and Game Commission recommends t. Unless this law is sustained, it is apparent that the best wild game in the state will be exterminated within a few years. Laws similar to the proposed have been passed by every state in the Union, and are designed simply to save from destruction the few game birds that remain. If the southern politicians who are now in control of Congress and the administration had been compelled to tax the South as they are taxing the North in the present bill and the income tax law, it is probable that they would have decided that cutting down expenses would be the better policy.

The output of wool in California has decreased from 56,550,000 pounds in 1876 to less than 12,000,000 pounds in 1913 This is explained by the fact that many of the large ranches have been cut up and made into small fruit orchards, also to the fact that the mutton sheep is increasing in popularity. The census of 1910 showed the total number of swine in this state to be 749,642 valued at about $5,000,000. This is one feature of animal industry which is not coming up to its possibilities. The manager of one of the largest packing houses in the state said recently that his concern was securing only some 5 or per cent of its hogs for slaughter from California farmers. This, of course, is under the average but the pork products imported to the state aggregate millions in value every month.With the cheapest and best alfalfa grown in the world and conditions favoring the swine industry.it is to be hoped that another year will see a wonderful increase in the number of hogs marketed by the California producer. It may be a wild guess but if there were as many soldiers killed, wounded and captured as reported there would have been an end of the European war some time ago. If President Wilson is renominated in 1916 he will probably see to it that he is placed on a platform whose planks he approves, which cannot be said of all the Baltimore deliverance. Some folks do not subscribe to the doctrine that this is the last gerat war,and the man who comes home at an early hour in the morning,and tries to slip into the house unknown to his wife is one of these。 Studebaker WEISEL & CO. - AGENTS Anaheim, Cal.

The resolution is aimed at California wine producers. The charge is made by Ohio manufacturers, who use saccharine matter in fortifying wines, that they are discriminated against in favor of Californians in the pending war tax bill.
