In the matter of purchasing an engine, the matter was left with the secretary, Mr. H. Cohen, to procure offers from parties having engines to sell. When it is ascertained where the best and cheapest engine can be got, means will then be devised to raise the necessary funds. The town authorities of Watsonville have offered the engine hitherto in use in that place for $650. A photograph of it can be seen at Mr. Cohen's store.

Dr. Gulick of Garden Grove informs us that he will shortly receive an invoice of persimmon trees, direct from Japan, and that he will also have a small invoice of the dried fruit. The trees are of the choicest budded varieties, selected with especial care by the doctor's relatives in Japan. The law firm of Messrs. Scott and Montgomery find their branch office in Santa Ana exceedingly profitable. Our rural neighbors are reasonably litigious, and have just sense enough to know that in order to get out of a scrape it is the part of wisdom to employ good lawyers. A good business is being done at the railroad depot. Yesterday two carloads of sheep were forwarded to San Francisco by Lockhart Bros. A large lot of wine was also shipped by L. J. Rose, who has been making purchases in Anaheim for the past day or two. Messrs. Hammel & Denker of the United States hotel in Los Angeles, have discharged all their Chinese help and employ only white persons. A good business is being done at the railroad denot.

A telegram from Washington dated the 8th inst., says that a patent was issued that day for a very valuable tract of land near the Mission of San Juan Capistrano. Los Angeles county conformed to Santiago Rios. Mr. Byron O. Clark has received a contract to furnish 10,000 blue gum trees and 10,000 iron bark trees for planting in Mr. Givin's land near Costa station. Mr. Clark will plant the seed immediately and the trees will be ready to transplant in June. One inch and a half square of the Pico hourse was sold by Tax Collector Kremer. The purchase was made by a San Francisco bank, which holds a mortgage on the property. Marshal Wartenberg has in his possession three horses, two mules, one jack and one jenny, which he found on the plains the other day while hunting for some lost horses. Circumstances indicate that the stock had been stolen and anyone who is mourning over the disappearance of his stock might find it to his advantage to inspect the marshal's capture. Dennis Kearney will speak in Anaheim on the 19th inst. Mr. Lankershim, of Los Angeles, was registered at the Anaheim hotel on Thursday. He, too, was en route to the coal mines to satisfy himself as to their possibilities. Dr. K.D. Wise of Los Angeles, while riding in from the San Gabriel Mission, on Thursday, was thrown from his wagon and suffered a fracture of the left leg. Mr. W.R. Olden offers to rent 30 acres of irrigable land near Anaheim. The 400 acres of wheat and barley sown by Mr. D.W. Gelivich is still looking well. The continued absence of rain, however, will make it necessary to irrigate and he has engaged an engineer to make a ditch to bring water to the land. S OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century By Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings In Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MARCH 17, 1904. An inch of rain on Thursday evening, March 10th served as an excellent reviver, not only of appearance of crops, but of the spirits of all classes as well. It began falling at 5 o'clock in the afternoon and for several hours continued in a steady downpour. Toward midnight it ceased and the following day was clear. The rain brought the total for the season to 3.80; to date last year, 10.28. Although the precipitation is below normal, crops still look well. Hay crops are assured, and with several rains to follow a good grain yield will be harvested. The Christian Endeavor Convention meets this year at West-minister, on Saturday, March 26th.

It was reported by Assistant Farm Advisor W. M. Cory, who made public the results of the third month of the contest. The Katella leghorn farm of Anaheim, E. J. Campbell of Garden Grove, and A. H. Heineman of Orange, have entered flocks of ten pullets each, which are holding up the reputation of this section, the report showed. The Katella entries were among the ten high pens for the month of January, while one o f the Heineman pullets took third place among the high hens for the month. It laid 28 eggs. The Campbell and Katella flocks were among high pens to date in the contest on the basis of the value of eggs laid. The Katella flock has produced eggs with a total value of $17.05, while the value of eggs produced by the Campbell flock to date is $15.23, according to the report. One of the high producers to date having laid 72 eggs since November 1. The Katella flock was among the high pens for the month, the value of eggs produced in January being $5.83. Entry consists of often designated pullets. So far the Katella flock has laid 495 eggs, the Campbell pen 452, and the Heineman flock 224. For Januar ythe Katella entries laid 195 eggs, the Campbell birda 186, and the Heineman hens 130 eggs.

Markel's friends to the number of a baker's dozen came down from Los Angeles last Sunday morning to assist in disposing of the good things his wife had prepared for his birthday dinner. All were in attendance at the Christian church and heard Elder Markel preach. A happy re-union was had, to which the Gazette adds its best wishes for the return of many more. Mrs. Smith of Los Angeles entertained the Ladies' Euchre Club at the home of Mrs. Bird Beebe, on Thursday afternoon. The rooms were decorated with California violets and each guest was presented with a bunch of the fragrant blossoms. After the refreshments the prizes were awarded, Mrs. Shanley winning the first, a sofa cushion, Mrs. Hatzfeld the second, a fruit dish, and Miss Reynolds of Los Angeles the consolation. Mrs. A. Nagle entertained the Miercoles Club at her home, yesterday afternoon. Quantities of beautiful roses and evergreens were used to decorate the house. Progressive euchre was played, and after an interesting game the guests were ushered into the dining room, where delicious refreshments were served by the hostess. Prizes were won by the following ladies: Mrs. Hutchinson, first prize; Mrs. J. J. Schneider, second prize, and Miss Carrie Nagle the consolation. On Wednesday afternoon a number of ladies of this city and Santa Ana met at the home of Mrs. A. Rimpau, in honor of Mrs. Frank Ey of Santa Ana, who, with Mr. Ey, leaves shortly for a trip to Europe. After a pleasant afternoon of music and social converse, the ladies departed wishing Mrs. Ey "bon voyage." Mrs. Mary Kellogg of the West End, has been ill of pleurisy, and others of the family have been down with la gripe. Yesterday improvement marked the progress of the patients toward recovery. G. W. Snyder has sold his ranch of thirty-four acres northeast of town to A. O. Leur, recently from Los Angeles, but who came here a few weeks ago to locate. Mr. Leur will erect a modern residence and otherwise improve the property. Mr. Snyder will probably move into town and build a residence here. Dr. D. W. Head of Garden Grove, father of District Attorney Head, was thrown from his horse at Santa Ana this week and was quite severely shaken up and bruised. No bones were broken and the doctor is out again after his mishap. The horse slied at a grader and threw his riser with some force to the ground. Dr. Head is noted as being one of the most expert horsemen in the county. John Cadman is recovering from an attack of typhoid, which kept him to his bed for three weeks. Johnny was a very sick boy but will probably soon be able to go to school. Mr. and Mrs. H. K. Medges of Oklahoma, are guests of the latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Scott, on the East Side. They will make a lengthy stay and may decide to locate permanently. A WISE PROPOSAL Pending in the legislature of California for consideration when that body returns to Sacramento for the long session, is a measure which ought to have the earnest support of every taxpayers in California. It will go far to lessen taxes by placing certain expenditures under the scrutiny of the taxpayers periodically or, at the least, furnishing those who provide the fund to maintain government with the precise information as to why government costs what it does. This measure provides for the annual publication of expenditures of every school and also of each proposed budget. The idea in itself is not new, ins much as it is in practice in some other states, and because the principle self has already been frequently written into the legislation in California. Every irrigation district in this state must annually publish a statement of expenditures periodically. Public administrators and city treasurers in most cities are compelled to publish annual statements and the law requires county boards of supervisors to lay before their constituents at stated intervals detailed statements of the proceedings at their weekly meetings. As to the necessity for a public knowledge of school finances, there never has been any doubt. And we say this without the slightest intention of reflecting either upon the administration of the schools—of school directors—or school teachers. The schools spend something like two thirds of the money raised by public taxation, and they are the one governmental branch which, under the present law, is not required to make a public accounting. The county, the municipality, the irrigation district, the state, is required by la wto publicly report its receipts and expenditures. For its own good the school district should do the same. Wherever there is secrecy there is espionage. With the huge sums spent yearly on education, it is but natural for the taxpayers to wonder at the cause of the continued increase. The expenditures, we have no doubt, are as a usual thing, necessary and legitimate. There may be times when a question may be raised as to the expediency of certain noutlays, but as a rule the people are willing to trust the men and women who represent them in the administration of school affairs. We never have been able to discover any valid reason for objection to publication of school financial reports, and we want to extend our congratulations to Superintendent Cooper for his state- the doctor is out again after his mishap. The horse shied at a grader and threw his riser with some force to the ground. Dr. Head is noted as being one of the most expert horsemen in the county. John Cadman is recovering from an attack of typhoid, which kept him to his bed for three weeks. Johnny was a very sick boy but will probably soon be able to go to school. Mr. and Mrs. H. K. Hedges of Oklahoma, are guests of the latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Scott, on the East Side. They will make a lengthy stay and may decide to locate permanently. Fred Dyckman has sold his center street restaurant to Wm. Heying, who takes charge on the 1st. Fred contemplates a trip to St. Louis to attend the World's Fair. Skim Champlin reports that on Friday night thieves drove up to his place of business on North street and purloined $25 worth of brass. Skim has some more metal left, and if the thieves are hard up for it, he will make them a present of it, if they will call and state their business. Mrs. Holcomb writes friends here from Thermal that the family are enjoying themselves hugely, the weather being delightful, game abundant, and the asparagus crop the best in years. Several carloads of this vegetable have been shipped east and handsome prices realized. Miss Dora Zeyn, who has been with them for several weeks, will return to her home in this city within few days. B. G. Balcom of the First National Bank of Fullerton has been on a trip to Imperial, San Diego county, where he has purchased 30 acres of land. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Strodthoff of Douglas, A.

Jack Hunter was in town from Fullerton on a short business visit on Monday. SALE OF ATLANTIC LINES Recently the shipping board accepted the Chapman bid. Under the terms agreed upon, the government will receive $16,082,000 for the United States Lines and the American Merchant Lines plus an additional sum of $218,000 for the leaseholds on offices and terminal facilities now maintained by the board. It will be stipulated in the contract of sale that operation over the routes now covered shall be maintained for a period of ten years and that the purchaser shall construct, with the aid of the shipping board's construction loan fund, two new fast vessels of at least 45,000 tons to round out the first-class services of the Leviathan. The government has taken an important step toward its retirement from the shipping business. There remains to be sold 254 ocean cargo vessels, for which a call for bids has been authorized. The sale of which would dispose of all the government's laid-up fleet, with the exception of about 100 vessels retained for shipping boar operations and 40 lake cargo boats. The speedy and business-like disposal of the United States and American Merchant Lines should seep the sale of the ocean cargo vessels. The Chapman company bears the goodwill of the entire American people in the course it has undertaken. In its hands lies the hope that the American merchant marine will be rebuilt until the American flag again files proudly in every port of the world. Cable dispatches announce that they are getting ready to hold an election in Italy. It is assured that the name of M. Mussolini will head each ticket on the ballot.
