The Weekly Gazette ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Propristor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR...$1.50 SIX MONTHS ...$1.00 THREE MONTHS ...$ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. WOODS ARE FULL OF CANDIDATES Editor Clark of the Riverside Press, has been casting his eagle eye over the congressional situation, now that Congressman Kettner has announced that he will not be a candidate for re-election, and finds the woods are full of candidates. Editor Clark enumerates the following as being in a receptive mood for the nomination next year: Jefferson Davis, San Diego, democrat. Col. Ed Fletcher, San Diego, progressive. C. C. Chapman, Fullerton, republican. W. W. Wilson, Newport Beach, republican. M. Estudillo, Riverside, progressive. W. A. Avey, Riverside, progressive. Lyman M. King, Redlands, progressive. Ed. Roberts, San Bernardino, republican. Editor Clark continues: "That makes nine, which is a pretty good starter. The Press has no authority to speak for Senator Estudillo or Assemblyman Avey, but their friends are talking of them as available timber. The Press has no official information regarding Ed Roberts, but has understood that he considers himself out of politics and permanently back in business. A lot of people would like to see S. C. Evans make the race again and he would be just the sort of a congressman we want in Washington. It is exceedingly doubtful, however, if he could be dragged into the content." you won't find Brother Kettner hacking off the wharf into the San Diego bay. He will stand shoulder to shoulder with his townspeople, of course. "And San Diego is going to have a candidate, and he is not going to be Jefferson Davis." The San Diego Union comes along with the following: "At the last congressional election San Diego county had about one-third of the total registered vote of the Eleventh district. This county's vote it now much larger than it was then, and next autumn will be probably not very far from 50 per cent of that of the entire district. Any other county having so great a preponderance of the vote would certainly expect to name the congressman, and human nature is probably much the same in San Diego as in the rest of the district. It is mistake, however, to suppose that the purpose here is to get somebody for San Diego and San Diego alone. When Mr. Kettner was re-elected last November by a tremendous plurality he carried every one of the seven counties of the district. He would not have done so had he been for San Diego alone. However, it is perfectly true that San Diego expects to have the next congressman and that he will be a republican. But there is no thought of hogging all that he can accomplish at Washington: That would be as short-sighted as selfish." Here are a multiplicity of candidates, and it should not be difficult to select a good man therefrom as representative of the 11th district in congress. Yet there may be other men deserving of recognition, and these may be announced before long. Of course there are names in this list which are impossible, but the battle has not yet opened, and it will be time then to take this matter up for consideration later on. The district should be represented by a sound republican at Washington. We have an abundance of good timber and it should not be hard to select the proper man for the office. INEQUALITIES IN REPRESENTA- polled by the 39th district was already composed of counties and the area has added thousands. The 31st district voted for Jefferson Davis. The 35th, 17,702, and These are all in L.A. The north has caused any increase in tation, and we may er the same oppose federal census; but counties are increased so rapidly that the able much longer square deal. As co of the northern s Orange county has strength to comp district, and two yet the county is in final district with Rial counties. By th the next federal c hope to see Orange a senatorial distric it will choose a sta assemblymen from Tuesday's electio states show which wind is blowing.

The Press has no authority to speak for Senator Estudillo or Assemblyman Avey, but their friends are talking of them as available timber. The Press has no official information regarding Ed Roberts, but has understood that he considers himself out of politics and permanently back in business. A lot of people would like to see S. C. Evans make the race again and he would be just the sort of congressman we want in Washington. It is exceedingly doubtful, however, if he could be dragged into the contest. "Logically the congressman ought to be selected from the orange belt this time; and if Riverside county has no candidate, there will be a most friendly feeling here for Mr. King; he would be acceptable to republicans, progressives and dry advocates of other parties. "San Diego, however, has the votes to control the situation and there is a solidarity in that county which it is mighty hard to overcome. Party lines cut little ice—it is just a question of getting somebody for San Diego and San Diego alone. The Press has the impression that the politicians there, regardless of party lines, will unite on some one man and then seek to plump the San Diego county vote for him. They will come mighty near succeeding, moreover, and unless there is a real contest in San Diego, any man from any other county will be pretty likely to find when the returns of the race are announced that he has been travelling on the rim. "If San Diego is bound to have the congressman again, the Press hopes however, that its candidate will not be named 'Jefferson Davis.' That seems a little too much." The Santa Ana Register, commenting upon the situation, has the following: "If local democrats were to get together they would say: "'Who is this man Davis?' And there would be none among them to answer except through heresay evidence. 'If local democrats should happen to get together they would say: "'Orange county ha never had a congressman, and it is about time Orange county furnished one.' Of course, those same democrats want that congressman to be a democrat, and if they were called upon to name the most logical democrat of the county for the place, there isn't much question but that Horace C. Head would be selected as the most logical democratic leader of Orange county. But if the thought of running for congress, has ever entered Head's head, we don't know it. C. C. Chapman is always talked of as a possible candidate for congressman. He was talked of as a possible candidate for governor. He did become an actual candidate for state senator four years ago. Chapman has a strong following, and his inter-" INEQUALITIES IN REPRESENTATION The inequality in representation between the north and the south in California both in congressional and senatorial districts is shown in the Blue Book just issued by Secretary of State Frank C. Jordan. According to the figures in this book, the counties south of Tehachapi are not getting a square deal in the matter of representatives among the law makers. The three southern congressional districts, at the last election, cast 295,356 votes, approximately an average of 98,000 to the district, whereas the eight districts above the Tehachapi cast 565,080, an average of 70,000 to the district. The highest vote cast in a northern district was 78,885. The lowest vote case in a southern district was 89,477. The first district is composed of Del Norte, Humboldt, Mendocino, Glenn, Butte, Yuba, Sutter, Marin, Colusa, Lake and Sonoma counties, and the vote for all the congressional candidates in last year's election was 74,433. In the second district, which is composed of Siskiyou, Modoc, Trinity, Shasta, Lassen, Tehama, Plumas, Sierra Nevada, Placer, El Dorado, Amador, Colaveras, Alpine Tuolumne and Mariposa counties, the vote was 50,391. In the third district, composed of Napa, Yolo, Sacramento, Solona, Contra Costa, and San Joaquin, the vote was 77,701. The fourth, in San Francisco, cast 59,426 votes. The fifth also in San Francisco, cast 64,666. The sixth, Alameda county, cast 85,436 votes. There are seven counties in the seventh district. They are Stanislaus, Merced, Madera, Fresno Kings, Tulare and Kern and 78,885 votes were cast for congressman. In the eighth 74,370 votes were cast. It includes San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, San Bonito, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura. The ninth is in Los Angeles county and cast 90,939 votes for congressman. The tenth also in Los Angeles cast.

Head would be selected as the most logical democratic leader of Orange county. But if the thought of running for congress, has ever entered Head's head, we don't know it. "C. C. Chapman is always talked of as a possible candidate for congressman. He was talked of as a possible candidate for governor. He did become an actual candidate for state senator four years ago. Chapman has a strong following, and his interest in the oltrus industry ties him close to Riverside and San Bernardino counties. "There is no question but that W. W. Wilson of East Newport is strongly inclined to be a candidate. He and his friends have been considering his candidacy for these numerous weeks past, and it may not be long before a formal announcement of his entry into the field will be made. The Towerman had a talk a day or two ago with Wilson, and while Wilson had nothing to say for publication, the inferences were more than a mere whiff of atmosphere. "The preponderance of San Diego's vote in the congressional district is taken for granted. Experience is a teacher along that line. San Diego stood by Kettner through two campaigns, and it is likely to shoot the same kind of ammunition this year that it did. The brand will be "San Diego" and there won't be an awful lot of worry over whether the trade mark is Republican, Democrat or Progressive. Orange county people may figure on having a candidate for congress. If it is L. A. West or W. W. Wilson or C. C. Chapman or W. B. Williams or Clyde Bishop or T. B. Talbert or some other person, the echo of whose name has not reached the Tower, San Diego intends to beat him. It won't be Williams, for Williams once and for all says that he is not going to run. Bishop is a good friend of Kettner, and if Kettner should happen to be foot loose he could shanghai a lot of votes in San Diego for any Orange county man he might decide to support. "But if San Diego has a candidate, sixth, Alameda county, cast 85,436 votes. There are seven counties in the seventh district. They are Stanslaus, Merced, Madera, Fresno, Kings, Tulare and Kern and 78,885 votes were cast for congressman. In the eighth 74,370 votes were cast. It includes San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, San Bonito, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura. The ninth is in Los Angeles county and cast 90,929 votes for congressman. The tenth, also in Los Angeles, cast 114,940, being more than double some of the northern districts, and the eleventh is composed of San Bernardino, Mono, Inyo, Orange, Riverside, San Diego and Imperial, and its vote on congressman was 89,477. The top heavy vote in the South is due to the rapid increase in population of the southern counties since the federal census was taken five years ago. The inequalities in the population of the senatorial districts is as pronounced as in the congressional districts, and gives the north all the advantage. For instance the vote cast for state senator at the lest senatorial election in the 39th district, which is composed of Orange, Riverside and Imperial counties, was 21,611. There is only one district in the north that can compare with this in the number of votes cast. That is the 15th in Alameda county, which polled 28,461 votes at the last senatorial election. The 13th also in Alameda county, cast only 9,000 votes. The first district, composed of Del Norte, Trinity, Humboldt and Tehana counties, cast 12,399 votes for senator at the last election. The 3rd, made up of Plumas, Sierra Nevada, Placer and El Dorado counties, cast 12,361. The 19th, San Francisco, polled 11,668, the 21st San Francisco, 7,658, and the 25th Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, cast 10,000 votes less than half the votes returns in money. fruit look handsome in that way, but it infected from wound longer, bring a high worth more money.

MICHAEL'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH Services Sunday, November 7th, the twenty-third Sunday after Trinity, at St. Michael's Episcopal church, corner Emily and Adela streets, Rev. David Todd Gillmor, rector, will be: 9:45 A.M. Bible School and Adult classes; 11:00 o'clock Holy Communion and sermon; 7:30 p.m. Evening prayer and address by the rector. A cordial welcome awaits you at all services. HANDLING FRUIT One of the notable changes in the fruit industry is the improved methods of packing and handling it. Many of us who were brought up as boys on or near farms have a vivid memory of the careless way in which the average farmer used to handle his fruit; and we are deeply impressed with the comparatively great, but still inadequate, care in handling citrus fruits in California orchards and packing houses. The old timer used to sling around such fruit as apples, as if a Baldwin was a stick of wood. An apple looks as if it had a pretty firm texture. But a slight dent or abrasion starts decay which soon spreads throughout that specimen, and is communicated to others. An apple sorter would sit down on a box and toss the fruit to piles several feet away. Apples would be poured from baskets into barrels, and those that were poured in first would be very considerably dented by the fall. After a barrel was filled, an honest packer would give it a thorough shaking down, so as to be sure his customer got good measure. This no doubt jammed the fruit still more and established the seeds of decay. The well trained grower of today, in California and elsewhere, is learning that fruit is one of the most perishable products in the world. With a padded paraphernalia for sorting, and the wrapping of individual specimens in tissue, delicate fruits are successfully carried indefinite distances, and come out about as good as they hung on the tree. Growers of oranges, peaches, lemons, etc., long ago learned the watchful care that must be given the delicate tissues. But thousands and thousands of apple growers have not yet learned this end of their business. These modern methods seem finicky to the old timer, but they bring big returns in money. Not merely does fruit look handsomer when received in that way, but it has been so protected from wounds that it will last longer, bring a higher price, and be worth more money to the consumer. Producers that do not go the limit to keep their fruit from getting wounds and abrasions in transit can not expect to stand anywhere in the critical modern market. How great a change has taken them. This lodge, Marathon lodge, and others in the city, will come down on a special train. The train will be met at the Santa Fe depot by the local lodge and hundreds of others from Orange county lodges. A procession will be formed and march to the Columbia Gardens where the picnic will be held. On Saturday night, Nov. 13, Marathon lodge, or representatives of it, bringing with them thirty-five candidates for membership, all of them Los Angeles firemen, and at Knights of Pythias hall will confer upon them the Knight rank, making them full members of the order. Among the notables who will be here that night are Gen. J. O. Royer and his staff, Mayor C. E. Sebastian and Judge Benjamin F. Bledsoe of Los Angeles, Col. Shaffner, Col. Nearny and Col. Crowley of San Francisco, Grand Chancellor Crogan of San Diego, and Judges Hart and Stafford of Sacramento. These gentlemen will all be guests of Gen. Royer at his West End residence Saturday night and Sunday. All the things of interest that will happen at the gardens on Sunday are not now known, but it is promised that something will be doing all the time. There will be a continuous dance at the pavilion with a splendid orchestra furnishing the music, and the younger generation who care to dance can find congenial partners. A baseball game will be one of the features, and it promises to be an exciting one. Athletic sports and contests of all kinds will be indulged in, and all the Knights will have an opportunity of testing their strength and skill on the field. Another feature of importance that is being carefully looked after is the question of catables. The matter is in the hands of a committee, and this committee states that cooks of renown will be in charge, that ample provisions will be provided, and that the most delicate and most voracious appetites will be satisfied. The local lodge is offering a prize of $100 to the visiting lodge having on the ground the largest percentage of membership.

Not merely does fruit look handsomer when received in that way, but it has been so protected from wounds that it will last longer, bring a higher price, and be worth more money to the consumer. Producers that do not go the limit to keep their fruit from getting wounds and abrasions in transit can not expect to stand anywhere in the critical modern market. How great a change has taken place since the days of Joseph Chamberlain in the opinion of Englishmen regarding the fiscal policy that will best serve the interests of the Empire is indicated by a proposal urged upon the Premier by a delegation of the leading financiers of London. This committee, headed by Lord St. Aldwyn, who was Sir Michael Hicks Beach before his elevation to the peerage, advocated the imposition of higher duties on imported goods, not only for revenue purposes, but chiefly in order to lessen the undue consumption of such commodities which, as they pointed out, had increased to such an extent that it had become a serious drain upon the country's wealth. The war has impressed upon the thinking people of Great Britain as probably nothing else could have done the danger and folly of depending upon foreign nations for essential food supplies that can be produced at home. You can raise most anything in California if you try. Up in Fresno county they are harvesting a crop of cork on the Kearney farm where there are twenty thriving trees. The experiment has demonstrated that the cork oak, hitherto supposed to thrive best in the arid valleys of Spain, will grow and produce first class cork in Fresno county. DRUGS ADVANCE BY BIG LEAPS Colds and La Grippe Classed With Luxuries at the Present Prices Colds and la grippe are now in the luxury class, according to the latest quotations received by druggists. These show that in a few months the price of quinine has advanced from 20 cents an ounce to $1.20. The price of aspirin, largely used in cold compounds, has advanced from 42 cents to 85 cents and it is almost impossible to get it. Calomel was a short time ago quoted at 90 cents per pound, now it is quoted at $2.50. The war in Europe is responsible for the high prices of drugs. The chemists of Germany have refined for almost the whole world and since no more can be secured from there the available supply is rapidly giving out. During the past week shrewd buyers, trading on the fact that many druggists in small towns do not keep in touch with the rapidly advancing prices, have been trying to buy surplus supplies of drugs at old prices. The bromides have all doubled in the wholesale price. Peroxide of hydrogen can be bought only in very small quantities, for the barium sulphide used in it has gone up 500 per cent. Resercin has gone from $1.25 a pound to $12 a pound. Benzoate of soda has advanced from $1 a pound to $25 a pound. Joseph Helmsen has been seriously indisposed for a fortnight past, but was yesterday reported in an improved condition. Charley Brown who has recently been employed with the Birch company, will leave Saturday for Burma, India, where he has signed for three years' service. Letters to Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Craig from their son John and to Mr. Theodore Enock from his son, W. W. Enoch, toll of the life and customs in the India oil fields. Mr. Craig tells of meeting many of the fellows known around Brea among whom might be mentioned Bill Johnson, John Dietzel, Walt Woodruff, Bill Murphy, Frank Fox and Lawrence Mybrey. Mr. Enoch sees life in India from a rather jocular viewpoint, yet with much impressive facts relative to the customs of natives. He says that natives will not touch or eat any meat that has been killed. If the animal died in any other way, the meat is acceptable. It is probable that they would eat American meat under the belief that it had died from old age. The best flour is Moses Best Flour. Try a sack it is guaranteed. H. H. Gardner Co., 114 N.
