ELECTRIC RAILWAY TALK NOW INTERESTS PEOPLE Ties and Bridge Material on the Ground for the Huntington Electric Railway—Work to Begin Immediately. Right-of-way matters between Huntington and Los Nietos farmers who have been holding out for steep figures for an easement through their property, have been settled by the payment of $1200 to them by citizens of Whittier. Three farmers owning land near the San Gabriel river, on the line of the proposed railway, have succeeded in delaying the beginning of work on the road for several months, but as Huntington was about to take the matter into court on condemnation proceedings, which would have tied the matter up for a long time, Whitter men stepped in and put up the difference. During the past fortnight ties and bridge material have been put upon the ground, and in Los Angeles yesterday it was said at headquarters that work would begin as soon as weather conditions permit. It is expected the road will be constructed to Whittler within sixty days. The bridge across San Gabriel river will be completed inside this time. Material has been put upon the ground and work will begin upon it probably this week or next. From Whitter the road will continue through La Habra valley on right-of-way already secured by Mr. Hole. The road will run through Brea canyon and on to Placentia, where a commodious freight and passenger depot will be erected. Mr. Huntington has applied for a franchise to operate an electric railway upon the streets of Riverside, and the fact that he has run several lines of survey from Placentia east through Santa Ana canyon to Corona and Riverside, indicates the truth of the report current last fall that he would operate his railway as a short line along this route between Los Angeles and Riverside. That Huntington's electric railway will run from Santa Ana through this city and on to connect with the line at Whittier is undeniable. This work will in all probability be taken up after the completion of the road to Riverside. Right-of-way has already been La Habra valley country that it begins to look as if the Huntington line would have some increased competition from the steam roads. The Southern Pacific, the Santa Fe and the Salt Lake all have an eye peeled on the La Habra section clear to the Placentia. President E. P. Ripley of the Santa Fe is known to be thinking seriously of extending his line from Los Nietos, while the Harriman interests are said to have under consideration pushing a Southern Pacific spur over toward the rich fields of Placentia. "But the most interesting report in this connection is that which makes Senator W. A. Clark interested in that country to such an extent that two or more surveys have been run for him. They are said to run a little west of the Huntington route. The senator is expected in Los Angeles in the near future and when he arrives, arrangements are made whereby he and his brother, J. Ross Clark, will carefully look over the ground in person and weigh the opportunities offered for another line. "What are the traffic possibilities of the section?" was asked of Col. Tuffree yesterday. "Why, sir," said he, enthusiastically, "if all these four lines are actually planning to invade our territory down there, there is traffic enough for them all, and to spare. I have had occasion recently to compile a detailed report of the freight tonnage down there, and it is enormous — simply wonderful. What with horticulture, agriculture and petroleum, it is an exceedingly productive country. God couldn't have done much better for us there if he had made a special effort." "Should the Clark's go into the territory, there is a possibility that they will do so with the trolley rather than steam. This point has not yet been determined." Obituary VICENTE YORBA. Vicente Yorba, one of the oldest and most highly esteemed residents of Orange county, died at his home in Yorba on Friday night of a complication of diseases. He was aged 59 years and was widely known throughout Southern California.

Funeral NEWSY ITEMS ROUNDABOUT SPLENDID RAINFALL. The sun peeped through the clouds yesterday for the first time since Sunday, but the rain storm which has prevailed for the past four day was not over. Heavy clouds hung overhead and the indications were good for more rain. Mr. Dickel's guage measured 2.56 inches for the storm, and a total of 15.14 for the season. Last year to date we had 9.52. Mr. Darling's guage measured 2.44 for the storm, and for the season 17.55 inches. Last year to date 10.14. The season is the most favorable in many years. MAY DAY PICNIC Co. E. contemplates giving a May-day picnic at the county park in Santiago canyon. A ball game and athletic sports will be features of the program. Galery Season Closes The last carload of celery from the peatlands has been shipped. The season is practically closed, although there yet remains a few small lots for local and Southern California dealers. Shipments for the year amounted to over fifteen hundred carloads, which is somewhat in excess of last year's crop. Prices have been good and as a result an increased acreage will be set next year. Electricity and Gas Talk From a reliable source it is learned that the Brea Canyon Oil company is figuring on installing a large electric generating plant, the juice to be utilized by the Edison Electric company. Natural gas from the oil wells will be used for fuel. Still another report is to the effect that the Brea canyon people are contemplating the laying of a pipe line through Fullerton and extending on to this city for the transmission of natural gas for lighting and heating purposes. Standard Oil John D. Rookefeller passed through Anaheim in his private car which was attached to Conductor Clegg's train some days ago. The train carried eight coaches and was half an hour late. way upon the streets of Riverside, and the fact that he has run several lines of survey from Placentia east through Santa Ana canyon to Corona and Riverside, indicates the truth of the report current last fall that he would operate his railway as a short line along this route between Los Angeles and Riverside. That Huntington's electric railway will run from Santa Ana through this city and on to connect with the line at Whittier is undeniable. This work will in all probability be taken up after the completion of the road to Riverside. Right-of-way has already been secured through this city and rails have been laid down for a short distance in order to hold the franchise. Which direction the line will take northerly, whether it will run through Fullerton or Buena Park, is at present unknown. So many surveys have been run over these routes that it is doubtful if any one has been selected, but a recent interview with Mr. Huntington by citizen of Anaheim leaves no doubt that the road will be constructed through this city. It is also considered certain that a feeder will run from this city westward and northwesterly to connect with the rich and populous district in those directions. Apart from electric railway talk is the fact that Senator Clark is due here within a few days, and together with his brother, J. Ross Clark, will go over the country between Los Alamitos and Soquel canyon for the purpose of selecting a route for the Salt Lake route to extend from tide water at San Pedro to his main line in the Pomona valley. The route from Los Alamitos where the Clark's maintain their beet sugar factory to San Pedro is already selected and persons in a position to know say there is no doubt that the road will continue eastward through this city. J. Ross Clark recently stated that the Salt Lake railway would undoubtedly build through Placentia and wise ones say the road will continue through the oll wells and Soquel to the main line in the upper valley. Senator Clark will probably be in Anaheim during the coming week. These rumors concerning the railroad situation have revived reports concerning the extension of the Southern Pacific from Anaheim to Placentia and on to a connection with its lines in the upper valley. The Santa Fe will also in all probability construct its line from Fullerton to Richfield. The recent offer of Mr. Ripley of $75,000 for a tract of land belonging to Sam Kraemer indicates that the Santa Fe company is alert to the possibilities of railroad construction in that neighborhood. Altogether the railway checkerboard contains many interesting moves to be made in the near future in this portion of Orange county. A Los Angeles newspaper publishes the following interesting information regarding it: "Whittler and all that prosperous country on through the great La Habra valley, will rejoice to know that Mr. Huntington's new interurban electric line from this city to them is set to be known as weather steam. This point has not yet been determined." Obituary VICENTE YORBA.

Judgment went by default, but as yet Judge West has failed to enter the final decree, being uncertain as to whether the new law regarding divorces has gone into effect. Attorneys for des Granges procured a copy of the new law, which proved to have no emergency clause, and they will therefore file it with the court in the expectation of securing the coveted final decree.

Electro Energy We have been favored with an invitation from the Edison Electric company to accompany its officials on a tour of inspection of its waterpower plants in Santa Ana and Mill Creek canyons. The trip is for the purpose of making public familiar with the conditions under which electric energy is generated, and invitations have been extended to newspaper representatives from the various towns in which its service is rendered. The excursion will occur probably the latter part of the week. Those accompanying the party will be shown the latest and most modern methods of waterpower application and the generation of electric energy. The invitations are issued by John B. Miller, president of the company, and the trip will be under the auspices of officers of that corporation. Union made black suspenders at 19c at Rice's Bazaar.

Altogether the railway checkerboard contains many interesting moves to be made in the near future in this portion of Orange county. A Los Angeles newspaper publishes the following interesting information regarding it: "Whittier and all that prosperous country on through the great La Habra valley, will rejoice to know that Mr. Huntington's new interurban electric line from this city to them is actually to be begun as soon as weather conditions permit." "Tis safe to say, then, that further delay is short-lived. Right-of-way privileges have all been obtained, and work when once begun, is to be pushed as rapidly as practicable." "From Whittier into the La Habra valley all preliminary details have also been arranged; rights-of-way have been secured along a route that will take the road through ranches belonging to Col. J. K. Tnfree and in the heart of the Placentia district a big passenger depot is to be built on land belonging to the colonel. It is believed that this depot will accommodate nine-tenths of the traffic of the whole Fullerton region. To many people, Mr. Huntington has expressed his utmost satisfaction over conditions that prevail between this city and Placentia. The country is fertile and richly productive, the people are very generally prosperous; oil, nuts and fruit have given them lots of money, and the valleys and hills fairly teem with a population eager to avail themselves of the excellent transportation facilities that an electric road will afford. The route from Los Angeles to the Placentia district is about thirty-seven miles long. It would be possible for the working forces of the Pacific Electric Railway Company to lay about three miles of track a day, but about a third of that amount will probably be accomplished per diem. Estimating the length of time that will elapse before the proposed road is in operation, Col. Tuffree placed it at between two and three months. Much of the material has already been distributed along the right-of-way. "So rich is the whole Whittier and R. H. Gilman, 40 acres to oranges; Edwin Brewer, 20 acres to oranges; P. H.

Our Fruit for Europe An international company has been organized by Ralph Merriman, former United States government architect, in Washington, for the purpose of supplying California fruits to European markets. Recently he has been in consultation with the United States Embassy and Consulate in Paris concerning the scheme. They and the French government have promised to do all in their power to facilitate relations between this State and French consumers. Contracts have already been entered into with three San Francisco concerns and the first shipload of merchandise is expected to reach Paris in May. The produce will be conveyed from San Francisco by rail to New York, and from there shipped by boat to Havre. The promoters on the other side include the Marquis of Crevecoeur and M. Durand and Gautier, who are well known on the Paris Produce exchange. American residents in Paris are elated at the prospect of soon being able to eat California fruit at reasonable prices, which hitherto has been impossible in France. The man that trades at Rice's Bazaar is never broke, if he is, he don't trade there. Antis Busy at Santa Ana Dr. E. S Chapman of Los Angeles, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league, addressed a large meeting in Spurgeon's hall, Santa Ana, Friday evening, on the liquor question.

The temperature was considerably above normal during the week, and the weather was generally cloudy in all sections. Rain fell in all sections of the state, the precipitation on the 24th and 25th in Southern California being the heaviest of the season. San Joaquin valley and the southern coast counties received very beneficial rains. Grain and grass made rapid growth and are in excellent condition in all sections. The outlook for heavy crops of wheat, barley, oats and hay was never better at this season. In portions of Northern California the grain acreage is smaller than usual, owing to continued wet weather. Early grain in portions of Southern California is heading out. Hay harvest commenced. Pasturage is plentiful and stock in good condition. In Southern California, on the soil is reported in better condition than during the past ten years. Deciduous fruit prospects are excellent in all parts of the state. Apricots, almonds, plums and early peaches are very thrifty and apparently have not been injured by frost. Cherries and prunes are in bloom in the Sacramento valley. Figs are thrifty. Strawberries are late, but give promise to large yield. Vineyards and citrus orchards are in good condition. Los Angeles and vicinity, with warm weather following goods rains, started crops growing finely. Some early barley headed. Orange shipments delayed by rain.

They lived together a little over a month, and she alleged that he was intolerable as a husband. She said that he was not ooly rude and ungentlemanly toward finding out his nature and customs were different from here; that he attempted to make her eat dried rats, and in consequence she became ill, lost her appetite and became loathsome to her. Dried rat, or what had the appearance of one of those rodents in a mummified form, was exhibited in evidence. The exhibit was apparently strong enough for the purpose for which it was intended, as a decree of divorce was immediately granted. She was also permitted to assume her maiden name, Barrett. The month of bliss which terminated in the divorce cost Jung Toy $1500, but he says he is glad to get rid of his "Melican wife" even at that price. Before the lady consented to the marriage she required the unsophisticated heathen to sign notes in her favor for several hundred dollars. She had been previously married and divorced. LIQUID AIR.
