He is also to cast their ballots ground that the president him and he is with meaning that the polls thus far been put the party in power will be bed in.

Has lived in California all his life. Elected to Congress as a republican in 1898 from the Seventh district, of which San Diego, Imperial, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino were a part. Served 14 years, or 7 terms, until March 4, 1913. Was nine years a member of the ways and Means committee, the leading committee of the House of Representatives. The industries of this district are such that a protectionist should be elected to congress. A so called Citrus club, composed almost exclusively of partisan democrats and of no known republicans, has issued a folder to fruit growers urging support of the democratic nominee for congress in this district. This folder contains extracts from letters written by C. C. Chapman of Fullerton, Orange county, and R. C. Allen of Bonita, San Diego county, both very prominent citrus fruit growers, intending to convey the impression that Messrs. Chapman and Allen are supporting the democratic nominee. These letters were written in 1913, prior to the passage of the Democratic tariff law, and were intended to encourage the democratic representative from this district to do all he could for the citrus industry. But the democratic law ruthlessly discriminated against the citrus fruit grower and Chapman and Allen were among the first to urge Needham to become a congressional candidate in this district, and both Allen and Chapman are now supporting Needham and are doing all they can for Needham's election. The re-election of the democratic nominee from this district would be a direct and positive approval and endorsement of a rate of 4-10 of a cent per pound on citrus fruits and a notice to all parties in Congress that this district is satisfied and content with such a low rate and approves such cut and reduction. The re-election of the democratic nominee would be a positive invitation to continue such a low rate, and when the Republican party comes into power would be an insurmountable obstacle in the way of getting a higher and protective rate for this industry. TELEPHONE HEARING POSTPONED TO DEC. 8. State Railroad Commission Will Not Act Until After Election In the hearing before the State Railroad Commission of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county vs. the Pacific Telephone Company, the date has been changed from October 12th to December 8. This case has been reset for the reason that a constitutional amendment is to be voted on at the election on November 3, which, if carried, will very much widen the commission's jurisdiction in the matters involved in this action. editor of the Fullerton Tribune. The demurrer is on general grounds. McPhee brought suit following the publication of an article in which it was intimated that McPhee was supporting Gov. Johnson in return for receiving an appointment as director of the asylum at Patton. Hon. John B. Curtin, as the news columns disclose, is making tours of the state that are not wholly secret. As a matter of fact they are quite apparent. His tendency is to expose the political methods of the state administration. He is in position to do this, through having been a state senator through the entire Bull minker who understand how stability in a repressor ought to be duty clear enough with any kind. The figures adduced Knowland on his which shows the democratic tariff up and foreshadows that never been refuted of Florida is more accurate than tariff than any Union. There are no products dependent on the development is so intimately connected proximity of competition notable. Some point is so from the written-in on the Republican ten-in vote was three total republican reelection the primary the relation has considerable served its ratio.

There were resentatives in favor and 47 democrats difficult to locate ess. The democratic error is loaded wures. For instance road Commission of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county vs. the Pacific Telephone Company, the date has been changed from October 12 to December 8. This case has been reset for the reason that a constitutional amendment is to be voted on at the election on November 3, which, if carried, will very much widen the commission's jurisdiction in the matters involved in this action. Inasmuch as a conclusion could not be reached in this matter prior to this election because of the large amount of investigation which must be made, it has been deemed wise to postpone this hearing until a time when it will have been finally determined whether or not this constitutional amendment has been adopted. Under the law, as it now stands, if the railroad commission should order the interswitching, the rate-making jurisdiction would be divided between the commission and the different incorporated cities of the county. Each incorporated city by itself would have to fix rates within the respective cities. If these rates were resisted by the telephone companies, then each city would have to hire experts and gather data to defend the rates in court. The probabilities are that each case would be fought through all the state courts and the supreme court of the United States. Is there an incorporated city in the county that could successfully do this? If the amendment referred to is carried, the railroad commission will do all this, without expense or trouble to the cities. Attorney E. J. Marks has filed a demurrer and a omition to strike out for the defendant in the $10,000 libel suit brought by Horace McPhee of Santa Ana against Edgar Johnson, Hon. John B. Curtin, as the news columns disclose, is making tours of the state that are not wholly secret. As a matter of fact they are quite apparent. His tendency is to expose the political methods of the state administration. He is in position to do this, through having been a state senator through the entire Bull Moose regime. Curtin appeals for election as the only possible relief from Bull Moose infliction. The humor of his campaign is set forth in the story that whenever he meets Phelan on his rounds he asks the democratic candidate for the United States senate if he is for him. The democratic candidate always expresses the hope that the democratic party will win, but doesn't get any closer to the danger line. It is understood that Curtin enjoys this situation as thoroughly as any one. The article in Everybody's Magazine which denounces Johnson for claiming all the credit for Bull Moose success in California and glorifies Heney, is still the subject for much discussion in political circles. That it emanated from Bull Moose sources, being signed by George Creel, shows that it is the result of a bitter split in the ranks. Heney was notoriously not the choice of Johnson as a senatorial candidate, and Johnson has got on the Heneynerve by claiming everything in sight in the way of political advantage that accrues from their joint crusade in the interest of political purity. Everybody's Magazine has lent its columns to several articles boosting and lauding the Bull Moose sort of thing, and at times making Johnson out a mighty force for righteousness. Mr. Phelan is making the argument in his campaign that the democratic tariff works satisfactorily; that the canal tolls measure of the party is what California wanted; and that the democratic party is opposed to equal suffrage as a national measure. He is also urging voters to cast their ballots for him on the ground that the president is with him and he is with the president, meaning that the policies which have thus far been put in force by the party in power will in effect be rubbed in. There is no evidence anywhere that Californians have been impressed with such appeals. They seem to understand without any argument whatever on the other side that all the democratic policies that have so far been put in operation have been directly inimical to California. The candidate who is not able to "feel" this sentiment is not sensitive to popular feeling. The voters in the First congressional district are in no doubt now as to the political character of the several candidates for Representative. They know they have a regular republican, a regular democrat, and a socialist on the ticket; and that they have a free choice between these three. Kent, first elected as a republican, then as a Bull Moose—to neither of which was he loyal—now announces himself as a socialist. Postmaster General Burleson is also doing his best to transfer the parcel post into a freight post. Mail-order houses under such a rule would soon be delivering a bundle of shingles by mail. The weight of the parcel has already been raised to 50 pounds for certain zones, and Mrs. Burleson now wants to raise the limit to 100 pounds. The threatened change to 100 pounds, postal experts say, would certainly not be a move to bring the farmers nearer their market, but one to build up the big cities at the expense of the country districts. ANAHEIM GAZETTE MAIL CARRIERS MAY BID FOR JOBS Postmaster General Burleson Trying To Revive a Dead System The announcement that Postmaster General Burleson favors a change in the rural delivery system whereby carriers will have to bid for the work and obtain it by bidding lower than any one else, is causing great apprehension among rural carriers all over the country. This is the old star route system revived. Under it, the bidder would no doubt be allowed to take on as many contracts as he could handle, and every rural carrier would become the employee of the contractor, instead of Uncle Sam as he is now. In time, the contractor could become a big corporation which would fix the compensation of the men who do the work at $600 to $800 a year, instead of $1,000 to $1,200 which the Government now pays them direct, and the contractor would get rich on the work of the carriers. The contractor would come to own the horses, wagons or automobiles and the carrier would become a mere driver.

Notice for Publication of Time for Providing Will, etc. Notice is hereby given that Friday, the 16th day of October, 1914, at 10 o'clock as m. or said day at the Court Room of Department No. 1 of this Court, in the City of Santa Ana, County of Orlando, State of California, has been appointed as the time and place for hearing that a document now on file in this Court, purporting to be the last Will and Testament of the said deceased, be admitted to probate that Letters Testament may be issued thereon to Rosalea Hart at which time and place all persons interested therein may appear and contest the same. Dated September 29, 1914. W. B. WILLIAMS, County Clerk. F. O. Daniel & Les A. Daniel. The figures adduced by Joseph R. Knowland on his campaign tours, which shows the workings of the democratic tariff up to the present and foreshadows the future, have never been refuted or answered. California is more acutely interested in the tariff than any other state in the Union. There are a greater number of products dependant upon protection, and the development of the state is so intimately concerned, and the proximity of competing countries so notable. Some point is sought to be made from the written-in vote for Johnson on the Republican ballot. This written-in vote was three per cent of the total republican registration; since the primary the republican registration has considerably more than preserved its ratio. And since the primary, voters have no incentive to disclose their party predilection. Before the primary the registration ratio was 2.09 republican to one progressive; since registration for the primary closed it has been 3.24 to 1. At Marysville on the 1st inst., where and when Capt. Fredericks and Congressman Knowland addressed a great mass meeting, seven gentlemen prominent Johnson adherents in 1910 and 1912 sat upon the stage as vice president. Their names are C. F. Boardman, William Sutfin, J. H. Barr, G. W. Wilson, L. W. Walton, Thomas Jefferson Wilson and G. H. Nichols. One of the points urged by James D. Phelan why he should receive votes for Senator is that he secured an appropriation of $500,000 for an United States building for the Panama Pacific Exposition. There were 109 votes in the House against this appropriation, of which 102 were democrats. There were 65 republican representatives in favor of the measure and 47 democrats. From which it is difficult to locate Mr. Phelan's prowess. The democratic candidate for governor is loaded with facts and figures. For instance, he shows that **EUROPEAN WAR** **CAUSE OF LAWSUIT** Raise in the Price of Beans was Chief Reason for Trouble The war in Europe is responsible for a suit commenced in this county. The war is credited with being the cause for the raise in the price of beans, and the raise in the price of beans is why J. K. Armsby Company is suing the Oxart brothers for $914.37. The complaint, filed by Attorney Clyde Bishop, states that the Oxart brothers have a lease on the Bastanchury ranch near Fullerton and that on May 12 they contracted with Charles E. Morris to sell their blackeyes for 3.80 cents per pound. Morris is agent for the Armsby company. It is alleged that the brothers refused to deliver the beans. According to the complaint they should have delivered 98,250 pounds. The price of blackeyes went up between May 12 and the time the beans were harvested and cleaned. They are, or were worth when they should have been delivered, 4.75 cents per pound. Because the company did not get the beans, it is alleged that it lost $914.37, for which amount judgement is asked. **CHARGING THE JURY** The new judge had been elected on the strength of party usefulness rather than upon his fitness for the office. The argument in the first case to be tried before him had been closed. The Judge, knowing something was expected of him, looked helplessly at the assembled lawyers. One of them stepped to his side and whispered: "You should charge the jury now, your honor." The Judge looked at the jury box and at the twelve dejected individuals who occupied it. "It's been a long, hot day, gentlemen," remarked the Judge. "I'll only charge you a quarter apiece."—Judge. The weight of the parcel has already been raised to 50 pounds for certain zones, and Mrs. Burleson now wants to raise the limit to 100 pounds. The threatened change to 100 pounds, postal experts say, would certainly not be a move to bring the farmers nearer their market, but one to build up the big cities at the expense of the country districts. Notice is hereby given that Friday, the 16th day of October, 1914 at 10:44 AM at the Court Room of Department No. 1 of this Court, in the City of Santa Ana, County of Orion, State of California, has been appointed as the time and place for hearing his location. He praying that document now on file in this Court, purporting to be the last Will and Testament of the said deceased, be admitted to probate that Letters Testament be received by Nosella Hart at which time and place all persons interested therein may appear and contest the same.

Attorneys for Petitioner. by night policemen Sacket and Iman, where their cuts and bruises were dressed. One of the injured men is a deputy constable in San Gabriel. Additions at Hospital Improvements aggregating $9,800 will soon begin at the county farm. Plans for three buildings are now being prepared by Architects Eley and Ifawley. One building, to be used for housing the employees at the farm, will cost about $8000. Another back of the laundry building, will cost $1000 and the other a two-room cottage similar to the seven already built, will cost $800. The $800 building will be a frame structure and will be two stories in height and will cover a ground space of 78 by 36 feet. It is to be built southeast of the present main hospital building and will have eight rooms on both the lower and upper floors. The lower rooms will be used by the men, while the upper floors will be used by the women employs at the farm. One of the eight rooms on each floor will be used as a social and recreation room. There there will be two bath rooms on each floor. The structure will have a plaster exterior in order to conform to the style of the hospital building. Its roof will be flat and will fitted with a roof garden. It is planned to heat the building from the same plant used for the main building. The hot water supply system will be obtained from the same source. The two-room cottage will be similar in every detail to the seven already built. When completed this cottage will round out the scheme as originally planned by the architects. The structure in the rear of the laundry building will be utilized for housing the pumping equipment. Part of the building, which is to be 24 by 44 feet in size, will be used for a workshop and storeroom. It will be similar to the present laundry building... The democratic candidate for governor is loaded with facts and figures. For instance, he shows that for the last year of Gillett's administration the tax levy for support of the state government was $7,279,776 while the tax levy for 1914 is $14,908,900 more than double. These facts may have been cited to further the candidacy of the democratic candidate, but they furnish argument for everybody who is in favor of rescuing the state from its present despoilers. The farmers and fruit growers are taking a more acute interest in this campaign than they have in any for years past. There are two reasons for this. One is the tariff, which comes home to them all, and another is the menace of the 8-hour proposition, which as a referendum is to be on the ballot for a decision. The first of these issues arranges the democratic party, and the other progressives.

The best excelsior is made from basswood, or linden. Aspen and cottonwood, however, supply nearly half of the total amount manufactured. The king of England has given permission to have a part of the royal estate placed at the disposal of the school of forestry at Cambridge University for purpose of experiment and demonstration. William Penn, in his charter of rights, provided that for every five acres of forest cleared one acre should be left in woods. Foresters today maintain that on an average one-fifth of every farm should be in timber. Recent experiments indicate that round timbers of all the pines, of Englemann, spruce, Douglas fir, tamarack, and western larch, can be readily treated with preservatives, but that the firs, hemlocks, redwood, and Sitka spruce, in the round do not take treatment easily. This information should be of value to persons who contemplate preservative treatment of round posts, poles or mine props. Drank Booze In Santa Ana. Jose Munoz, a sugar beet laborer, is at the county hospital with a hole through his windpipe and one lung. The bullet that caused the wound, which is probably fatal, came from Silvestro Lucerlo's revolver. The Mexicans says it was an accident. If so, Lucerlo thought it best not to hang around. If away, he would not have to make explanations. So Lucerlo disappeared, and efforts to locate him have been futile. The shooting occurred in a beet camp about half a mile from Los Alamitos at 7 o'clock Tuesday a.m. Dr. Violett of Garden Grove was called, and later he and Dr. Ball took the injured man to the county hospital.
