the plums. The office that affords the most
position in this county is the horticultural
COMMISSIONS, and as the new board OF
supervisors will have the appointment OF
new board OF commissioners, there Is great
rivalry among the party workers 20 get the
places. Three commissioners, whose pay is
about 500 month, will be appointed, and
these in turn will have the employment OF
a large number of inspectors. ~'
The district attorney has begun foreclos-
ure proceedings against Oscar L. Zinckelson

lecting $25000 on account of current taxes
so far this month"; which, with $4,000 col
lected last month, makes only $4,000 of the
$4,000 of the first installment of county
taxes for this year. Taxes are coming in at
the rate Of something like $1,000 per day,

linquent on a week from Monday next.

reputation as an orange shipper. has begun

dates at last Tuesdays election have begun
filing accounts of what it cost them to make

goes, the candidates were very saving of
the dollars One hundred dollars is the
highest amount yet reported, being the sum
District Attorney Gill paid out in his race
to succeed himself Many of the lesser can
didates, like justices and constables, report
no expense.
| A comparison of the vote cast in many of
the smaller towns and settlements of this
county shows that the growth has not been
very rapid in the past two years. Many of
the localities have just barely held their
own, while few have actually lost ground.
The town most prominent in this last re-
spect is Perris, which lost nearly so voters
in the past two years. The failure of the
grain crops the last season has been the cause
of the standstill in some places and failing
off in Others The total vote of the county
was less by 200 than at the presidential elec-
ton of two years ago.
