The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Propristor SUBSCRIPTION.....$1.50 Per Year Six Months.....$1.00 Three Months.....$50 Cts. Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. MR. DEUTSCH'S LIBERALTY An obvious indiscretion of the types occurred in our article printed last week referring to Mr. Deutsch's generosity in offering $5000 to aid in the creation of a public park in this city. While the article stated Mr. Deutsch's position correctly, the types made us say at one point that his proposed contribution amounted to $500 whereas the figures should of course have been $5000. The error was quite apparent to the reader, for figures giving the price of his land and the hot price agreed to by him for its sale to the city showed the difference to be this latter amount. The price at which Mr. Deutsch holds this property, which is bounded by Lemon, Chartres and Clementina streets, is $15,975. His proposed donation of $500 reduces this sum to $10,975. He does not ask immediate cash payment but is willing to take bonds bearing 6 per cent interest, payable in annual installments for a period of ten years. His liberal spirited enterprise meets with warm commendation on the part of our people, and as the city has for a number of years past discussed the propriety of establishing a city park, it would seem that his proposition should meet with cordial endorsement on the part of our people. Mr. Deutsch has owned this property since the time of the boom in 1886, and when the period of inflated prices subsided, leaving financial El Toro for a ride to the snow, plainly seen capping the big mountains to the east of El Toro. They took the trail on horseback at Joplin, and before noon were at the forest service's cabin on Santiago Peak. The start to return home was made about 1:45 o'clock. "It was a splendid ride," said Miss Grouard, speaking over the long distance telephone, which at Forest Ranger Stephenson's house at El Toro was connected with the forest service telephone line reaching to the top of the mountain. We struck snow at Jamison's camp, and from there all along the trail. Here on top the snow is a foot deep. We melted snow for water for the coffee pot. In the fresh snow we saw tracks of a mountain lion and at another place we saw tracks of deer." OFFICIAL FIGURES OF NOVEMBER ELECTION 27 of the 48 Amendments and Initiative Propositions Carried Secretary of State Jordan has finally issued an official statement of the results of the November election. Following are the figures: The vote for governor was: Johnson, 457,139; Fredericks, 270,178; Curtin, 114,653. Lieutenant governor: Eshelman 529,600; Snyder (Dem) 229,930. An interesting feature is that the vote for governor was larger than that on the prohibition amendment. U.S. Webb, with 639,804 votes, registered the biggest vote. Additional results, as announced are: Secretary of state, Frank C. Jordan (Rep) (Dem), 487,904; F. J. O'Brien (Prog) 216,938; Ethel Lynn (Soc) 88,976; G. T. Stickney (Pro) 62,441. Controller—John S.

Mr. Deutsch has owned this property since the time of the boom in 1886, and when the period of inflated prices subsided, leaving financial wrecks in many localities, he stood steadfastly by this city, maintaining that the time would come when high property valuations of the boom days would be exceeded in the inevitable growth and prosperity of Southern California. He looked into the future well, and has seen his fondest hopes materialize. He is now 82 years of age, and for years has stated to his personal friends that he would one day do something nice for this city. He now offers this property for park purposes at a bona fide reduction of $5000. We congratulate him upon his liberal spirited generosity and we believe his magnificent offer should be accepted by the city. Mr. Deutsch was in town on Saturday, on his usual weekly visit, and submitted to City Clerk Morritt a formal offer in writing placing this property at the disposal of the city for park purposes at a valuation of $10,975. His liberal spirit generality meets with warm commendation on the part of our people, and among leading citizens the opinion prevails that his offer should be accepted. His offer holds until Feb. 1, 1915, with the added proviso that a city park be established within a reasonable time thereafter. WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED There has been free and unrestrained agitation in the United States for the past decade, particularly since 1912. There has been agitation for tariff reduction, for trust destruction, for new currency laws, new political parties, new leaders, and for a great many radical "reforms." Political orators and writers who have told the people that they were oppressed and wrongly ruled have been placed in office and have had their chance to redeem their promises. In the state and in the nation the men who promised panaceas have been entrusted with power and have vote for governor was larger than that on the prohibition amendment. U. S.

In the state and in the nation the men who promised panaceas have been entrusted with power and have wrought their will in the form of countless new laws and prosecutions. What has been accomplished? The tariff has been reduced to the point where all protection to American industry and labor is gone. The currency has been revised, and yet, in the European war emergency the new law had to be ignored and resort had to the old Aldrich-Vreeland act, enacted in more conservative days. Trusts have been dissolved and new laws have been passed further to hamper business. Laws have been passed to regulate every conceivable activity of business. Direct primary laws are in operation and publicity of campaign expenses is the order of the day. But what has been accomplished for the public generally or for the individual? Are rents and taxes lower? Has the cost of living been lowered? Is work more plentiful and wages higher? Is it possible to clothes one's self better and more cheaply or obtain greater happiness and comfort from life as a result of the constant agitation and experimental legislation? SNOW IN ORANGE COUNTY There is a foot of snow on top of Santiago Peak, one of the two peaks that make up Old Saddleback. This information was telephoned Saturday afternoon by Miss Louise Grouard of Santa Ana, teacher of the El Toro school. Miss Grouard, Mrs. Bert Stephenson and Mrs. Peter Olds left Crushed stone is the largest factor of the stone industry in the United States. Figures showing the value of crushed stone were first published by the United States Geological Survey in 1898 and amounted to $4,031,445. By 1913 the output was valued at over $31,000,000. Of late years stone crushed for concrete making has largely taken the place of building and foundation stone. Frank Callahan James H. Callahan ranchman, was a cycle ridden by burg Friday.

B. Williams. Among these instructions is one to the effect that no second license must be issued to any one person, during the year, who has had one license granted him already, unless the person shall make an affidavit that the original license has been lost or destroyed. These instructions are explicit, and hereafter none can get a license unless he complies with the requirements of the new order. The letter to the County Clerk has other matters of interest to fishermen and anglers contained in it. BROTHERHOOD MEETING Gathering at Presbyterian Church on Monday Evening Pleasant Affair A crowd of fifty young men some younger than others and many of them members of the Presbyterian Brotherhood met Monday evening at the church and after a social hour and mix to get acquainted President E. E. Angell rapped for order and with the assistance of H. E. Hand at the piano the bunch began making a joyful noise singing "Bringing the Prodigal Home". "Church in the Wildwood," "On to Victory," and other stirring hymns that nearly caused the roof to raise and deadened all other sounds in the neighborhood for the time being. Rev. F. W. Mitchell offered the opening prayer, and President Angell briefly stated the primary object and heart's desire of the Brotherhood to establish a mission for men in one of the principal downtown streets of Anaheim. Rev. J. A. Stevenson, D. D., pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Santa Ana, then addressed the meeting on "Workers, Spirkers and Jerkers," dealing with the worker and his responsibilities, the joy derived from going to it and measuring up to a man's job.

And there are some traditional things about gold which, it seems, are not true. We remember reading quite a learned treatise once that the ancients made coin out of gold, although at the same time silver was the more valuable because the gold would not wear off, but would simply flatten. It was a good enough treatise, like many others have been, until put to the test and the test, for us, was applied last week when the new Reserve Bank received a large deposit of gold from Portland and would credit only what the gold was worth by weight and not what the stamp on it declared. And so gold will wear off and a man with a pocket full of gold pieces has less and less money each day although he does not spend a cont. This means actually that if you sell a lot of grain for $500, and are paid in gold, you will really not have $500 when you get to the bank, and if your banker follows the present fashion and credits you with only as much as it will give him credit for in the Reserve Bank, you will not sell for, gold a great many times, but will geek for paper notes which will not, wein out because you can always get new ones in exchange when they get shabby. By this route gold coins promises to go out of circulation, and will take its place in the bank vaults to be drawn upon only when transactions require the real thing and not any sign of it. This will be quite a shock at first to old Californians who remember the Civil War and the refusal to circulate greenbacks in place of coin, and who since that time have felt that they never had any money at all unless they could jingle it. The incoming of the copper cent and the outgoing of the gold piece are two shocks to the memories of the 'pioneers,' it is true, but the state will live and grow even more rapidly, in spite of the abandonment of these financial traditions, no doubt. But of course there are some other financial traditions which are more important to abandon, and we hope the For you who go a long way through those inexpensive portant in a gift.

Stevenson, D. D., pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Santa Ana, then addressed the meeting on "Workers, Spirkers and Jerkers," dealing with the worker and his responsibilities, the joy derived from it and measuring up to a man's job. He mentioned many experiences from his own life as a farmer boy, professor and pastor to illustrate the thought of setting young men right, encouraging them to start over when they have made a wrong start or are down and out. His talk had a piercing appeal and showed him to be every inch a man. This was followed by prayer by W. M. Wickett. An intermission with a "hot dog" and coffee broke into the formality of the meeting and when it reassembled the following were taken into membership: Messrs Lee, Schumacher, Beebe, and Dr. J. A. Stevenson as an honorary member. The meeting then joined in singing "Oh it is Wonderful," and closed with a benediction by Rev. Mitchell. The crowd from Garden Grove included Messrs. Bishop, Brown, Allon, Preston and Smith, and from Santa Ana Mr. McDermott and Rev. J. A. Stevenson. Everyone voted the meeting a rousing success. Burglar at Garden Grove—Three Mexicans seen loitering about the neighborhood are supposed to have been responsible for the burglary of the W. G. Stroud residence about a mile and a half east of Garden Grove between 4 and 8 o'clock Monday afternoon, when a quantity of silver tableware, jewelry and clothing was stolen. The Strouds left their home at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Returning at 8 o'clock, they found that a window had been pried open and that the articles had been stolen. The Mexicans were seen by a neighbor at 7 o'clock in the evening. Following is a list of the stolen articles: Six-silver knives, forks, spoons, a pearl tie pin, an emerald ring, a child's ring with set, a pair of gold stud cuff buttons, a child's brooch, two gold studs, a black overcoat, a suit of black clothes, a hat, shoes and a razor. Hit by Motorcycle—Frank Callahan, aged 8, son of James H. Callahan, a Santa Ana ranchman, was run over by a motorcycle ridden by a man named Winterburg Friday. The boy was thrown 15 feet, and is suffering from concussion of the brain caused by a blow back of the ear.

In spite of the abandonment of these financial traditions, no doubt. Of course there are some other financial traditions which are more important to abandon, and we hope the Reserve Bank will help us to unloose them also. POSTOFFICE RULING By a recent ruling of the postmaster general, nuts, fruits, candies, etc., put up by the manufacturer or merchant in sealed packages, labeled so as to show the nature of the contents, may be mailed at fourth class rates, the postoffice department has announced. This will be a help to those wanting to mail such articles to eastern friends for Christmas. Heretofore the sealing of the packages has prevented their going under those rates, which forbid mailing of any parcels. The new ruling oblivates the difficulty. The postoffice department's announcement is as follows: "Postmasters are informed that peanuts and other nuts, fruits, candies, etc., put up by the producer, or dealer as proprietary articles of merchandise in fixed quantities. In sealed packages labeled so as to show the nature of the contents, quantity, and name of producer, manufacturer, or dealer, as the case may be, areailable at the fourth-class rates of postage."

MR. and MRS. J. W. WALLS. Are You Why not BUY A HOME See the new Street Tract Frank Callahan, aged 8, son of James H. Callahan, a Santa Ana ranchman, was run over by a motorcycle ridden by a man named Wintersburg Friday. The boy was thrown 15 feet, and is suffering from concussion of the brain caused by a blow back of the ear. Frank was on his way to the Bolso school when Lyman Burrler called to him to ride in his buggy. The boy was running to the buggy when he was struck. Burled for Seventeen Minutes—Philip Boros, an Austrian laborer employed by Joe Chutuk, who has the contract for laying the sewer mains in Huntington Beach, narrowly escaped being killed, Wednesday morning, when a cave in occurred in the trench then open on Atlanta street, at the San Pedro Lumber company’s yards. Three men were working in the trench, which at that point was 19 1/2 feet deep, preparing the grade for the pipe. The excavation was through sand from about 5 feet below the surface and no lumber had been used to prevent such an accident. The sand at the bottom of the trench started to move and Boros was covered with three to four feet of sand, similar to that found on the beach, and according to time taken by Inspector E. C. Douglass, who has charge of the work for the city, remained in that condition for 17 minutes. A few minutes after the man’s head had been uncovered the sand gave way further up and he was covered again, as he was three other times, for from 5 to 6 minutes duration, before being finally relieved from his proparious condition. Dr. J. E. McKillop was present and took charge of the labor as soon as he was taken from the sand, and it was found that he had not been seriously injured. Long Beach’s “jitney” bus ordinance went into effect Saturday and in consequence the number of such busses dropper off at once from 130 to 43. The ordinance requires an annual license fee of $25 payable in advance and a $5,000 or $10,000 bond for each car, according to its capacity. Each person, firm or corporation operating busses in the city will be required to adopt a definite route and schedule of time for making trips. The increase in the street car travel was noticeable right away. Give Him for Xmas Holiday Neckwear and Combination Sets We are showing a better and more extensive line than any previous season.
