PARTY OF S. P. SURVEYORS HERE A Line Being Run From Benedict to Smeltzer—Make Headquarters Here For a Month A party of ten Southern Pacific surveyors arrived in town on Tuesday evening and registered at the Commercial. The party is in charge of F. D. Brown and it is said will make headquarters here for three weeks. Mr. Brown was seen by a reporter yesterday and stated that his first work will be the running of a line from Benedict station to Smeltzer, a distance of about 7 miles. This road will tap the celery belt and the shipments of that vegetable, which amount to some 1500 cars annually, will go east over that line instead of by way of Santa Ana. Asked whether he would have other work in this neighborhood Mr. Brown said it was bad for a railroad surveyor to talk to newspaper men. "I can't tell you what other work we will do, for I don't know," he said. "We have been ordered here, and will make headquarters here for several weeks. The road to Placentia? I don't know a thing about that." All was bustle about the hotel yesterday as the party were arranging their surveyors instruments to take the field as soon as possible. About town rumors spread thick and fast that inasmuch as the line between Benedict and Smeltzer would not require all the time allotted to the surveyors here, that other work would be undertaken by them and that a line would be run for the Placentia road. A report also prevailed that the Santa Fe would have a gang of surveyors in the field running a line from their road at Los Nietos through the La Habra to the Placentia country. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA The annual six-weeks summer session of the University of California for this year, from June 25th to August 5th, has come to take on a national scope in teaching force and in student body.

From all the chief American universities scholars recognized as leaders in their specialties will come to California for the next summer session. Instruction will be offered in philosophy, REGULAR MEETING OF WATER BOARD Quarterly Report of Durkee Ranch Committee Submitted—Three Tunnels to be Constructed Above Yorba.

A meeting of citizens was held on Monday afternoon in Hatfield & Stock's real estate office for the purpose of taking steps to prevent, if possible, the removal of the postoffice from its present location to the proposed new site on the corner of Center and Lemon streets. Business men whose places are near the present location of the office were in attendance, and a committee consisting of L. E. Miller, W. P. Turner and J. S. Hatfield was appointed to circulate a petition protesting against its removal. The report is current however that the postal authorities have about decided to make the change and that plans are now being perfected for a two-story brick structure on the old Higgins corner, where the office will be located. Dramatic Entertainment On Tuesday evening, April 28th, at the operabouse, the members of the Shakesperean club of St. Vincent's college, Los Angeles, will give a dramatic entertainment. The drama will be that beautiful and strong play, "Male-diction." The costumes to be worn are of the finest, and the talent of the students has repeatedly been praised by the Los Angeles papers. Many of our citizens have at various times witnessed performances given by the above club at the Los Angeles theatre, and all speak highly of their ability. Lovers of the dramatic will be given a rare opportunity to enjoy a most pleasant evening and at the same time help a worthy cause, as the entertainment is to be given for the benefit of the new Catholic church which is now nearing completion. The general price of admission is only 25c; reserved seats, 35c. for sale at McCollum's bicycle store. As additional attractions a very laughable farce and some excellent singing will be rendered. Besides the commendable purpose for which the entertainment is given, you may feel assured of full value for your money. Let there be a large attendance. PURCHASES PROPERTY J.

From all the chief American universities scholars recognized as leaders in their specialties will come to California for the next summer session. Instruction will be offered in philosophy, education, history, political economy, Greek, Latin, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, mathematics, botany, physics, chemistry, physiology, zoology, mineralogy, civil engineering, drawing, entomology, forestry, agriculture and physical culture. Among the members of the faculty from other American universities will be Professor George H. Palmer of Harvard for ethics, Professor James R.

All the resources of library laboratories, museums and gymnasiums will be at the disposal of the summer session. Berkeley has a delightful summer climate, cool and stimulating. The university is picturesquely situated on the slopes of the Berkeley hills, overlooking the Golden Gate. Berkeley is a town of 15,000 people, twenty minutes by electric car from Oakland, and near to the manifold opportunities of San Francisco. The tuition fee of $12 entitles the student to all the privileges of the summer session. Special railroad rates are offered by the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe. The recorder of the faculties will supply any detailed information requested. High Pressure Days Men and women alike have to work incessantly with brain and hand to hold their own nowadays. Never were the demands of business, the wants of the family, the requirements of society, more numerous. The first effect of the praiseworthy effort to keep up with all these things is commonly seen in a weakened or debilitated condition of the nervous system, which results in dyspepsia, defective nutrition of both body and brain, and in extreme cases in complete nervous prostration. It is clearly seen that what is needed is what will sustain the system, give vigor and tone to the nerves, and keep the digestive and assimilative functions healthy and active. From personal knowledge we can recommend Hood's Sarsaparilla. Respectfully submitted, Wm. Crowther, M. Nisson. The secretary reported to the board that the report of the superintendent had not been handed in, but that the pay roll shows an expenditure of $1652.80 as having been made in construction of cement ditch on the Cajon canal during the month of April.

Timbering and lagging at $1.25 per lineal foot, with labor for timbering tunnel at 25 cents per lineal foot. Concrete for same $2 per lineal foot. A. Grindl of Colton offered to dig the tunnel for $4.75 per lineal foot and 25 cents per lineal foot for timbering, and the approaches to the tunnel at $4.75 per foot. W. H. Taylor of Los Angeles offered to excavate and place concrete four inches thick in the three tunnels for $6 per foot; also to do the tembering at cost and ten per cent added, and to place the tunnel earth in the fill at 20 cents per cubic yard. On motion of Sheppard, seconded by Hale, the board went into executive session. Moved by Zeyn and seconded by Hale that the president and secretary borrow $1500 at 6 per cent. Carried.

Special Election at Fullerton The vote on the question of a special tax of $1500 for fire protection and the election of a board of three fire commissioners was held Monday and resulted in the election of Wm. Starbuck, J. C. Braly and D. D. Waiteon as commissioners and J. R: Gardiner as assessor and tax collector. The main question, that of the special tax, which was to have been used for the purchase of hose and hose carts, chemical extinguishers, etc., ended in a tie vote. 117 votes were cast, three of them were thrown out as not properly voted and 57 stood for the special tax and 57 against. The commissioners and assessor were elected almost unanimously. It has not been decided whether another election shall be held to decide the question or not, but it is more than likely that both sides will agree to drop the matter as it stands until some future date.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ITEMS OF INTEREST The recent rain has caused the water in Perris valley, Riverside county, artesian wells to rise eleven feet, and those in Temescal valley ten feet. As Corona procures its water supply for irrigation and domestic purposes from those two sources, it is gratifying to know that the supply has been materially increased. The first annual blue rock tournament for the Pacific Coast championship will be held under the auspices of the Ocean Park Country Club at Ocean Park, on May 15th, 16th, and 17th, 1903. The rainfall in Chino to date is 15.87 inches, four inches in excess of the precipitation last year. The lowlands about Chino are so wet that beet planting will be delayed several days. The heavy rains in the mountains have started the San Diego river to running at Santee and it is believed the sands are full of water to the mouth of the river.

SES PROPERTY North of Lincoln, Neb., the Burton property on street, also the lot adorned the agency of Hatfield new purchaser is a man will make Anaheim his COMBINE OF ORANGE GROWERS Exchange and Independent Shippers Effect a Merger which Promises Good for the Producer. A new corporation has been formed, officially known as the California Fruit Agency, through which practically all of the oranges grown in California will be marketed. The Southern California Fruit Exchange and the independent shippers have combined to the mutual advantage of all interested in citrus fruits. A. H. Naftzger, president of the Southern California Fruit Exchange, will be the manager of the new merger. The agreement provides that 50 per cent of the stock of the Fruit Agency shall be controlled by the exchange; that local exchanges shall be represented on the directorate as they are now represented on that of the exchange, and that the independent shippers shall be represented according to their interests. A ten year's contract is made, but it may be cancelled by either party, should the other at any time control less than 33½ per cent. of the output. The exchange now controls 47 per cent of the total output of the southern part of the state while the independent shippers control 42 per cent. Among those interested are the Earl Fruit Company, The Fay Fruit Company, Ruddock, Trench & Company, Gregory Company, Spruance Fruit Co., Moulton & Green, West American, Platt & Lett, and three smaller concerns. The primary object of the new venture is to eliminate ruinous competition, prevent glutted markets and provide equal distribution of the output throughout the United States. The amalgamation of all shippers, it is claimed, will work to the establishment of a uniform price, protect the eastern buyer, and do away with heavy losses from rejections and hurtful speculation. Furthermore, it is urged, eastern consumers will get their oranges at the same price a dozen as they are paying now, but the methods used by the middle man to hammer down the buying price will be impossible, and the grower will reap the benefit. Growers are urged not to look for an immediate improvement in the market, under the new arrangement. Much preliminary work is yet to be done. Besides the fact that several hundred carloads of oranges are in transit to the East, it must be remembered the new machinery will require time to be put in running order. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS First Annual Field Day Held in Ventura—Moch Enthusiast Manifested Contests Closely Contested The first annual field day of the Southern California High School Athletic association was held in Ventura on Saturday, and proved a marked success from a financial and athletic standpoint.

Besides the fact that several hundred carloads of oranges are in transit to the East, it must be remembered the new machinery will require time to be put in running order. Monday the Southern California Fruit Exchange mailed the following explanatory circular from its Los Angeles office: To all Exchange Members—Gentlemen: This will announce to you the organization of the California Fruit Agency, organized for the purpose of marketing the citrus fruits of California for the exchange, shippers and growers, alike on a co-operative basis. This organization will become the selling agency for all parties to the arrangement with similar aims and policies as the Southern California Fruit Exchange. After long and painstaking negotiations, we have reached a plan which we confidently expect will very greatly facilitate the marketing of our fruit. Under the arrangement which we have made, all of the principal shippers who have been for years engaged in the business, join in the marketing agency. They continue in the business practically as packers, putting at the service of the growers not members of the exchange, their numerous packing houses and extensive facilities, and at a less cost to the growers than heretofore. You will not, of course, expect us to set out here the details of the plan. You will obtain from your local management such information as you desire. It is useless to say that menaced by increasing competition from Florida and the islands, as well as from almost every other class of fruit, everything possible must be done to find profitable markets for our increasing crops. The plan we have devised contemplates the use of one selling medium through which a very large percentage of the California crop shall be marketed, a thing we have always sought to accomplish through the exchange. This will enable us to increase our selling agencies, so as to thoroughly canvass all available markets and promote the use of California oranges and lemons. We feel sure that this can be accomplished at a still further reduction of the operating expenses, and yet increase the demand for our fruit, a thing we must do. By the use of one distributing medium, we can avoid the disasters of too much fruit in a single market, and too little in others. By supplying the legitimate demands of all markets, the trade is protected against losses by sudden fluctuations, and we can have better average returns to all growers, without increasing the price to consumers, and thereby limiting the demand.

The Newport schools were dismissed and the pupils armed with clubs dispatched the animals as fast as they appeared. One boy is said to have killed more than five hundred. Arthur E. Thompson left for Manila last week. He goes to take a position in the civil service. Through the influence of some of the officers under whom he served in the Philippines and China he has been recommended for commission, but he has a prejudice against rising from the ranks.Mr We know the man that has the trades at Rice's Bamch26tf of trimmed and street & Falkenstein's. & Kreoger carry the payment and latest styles in city. & Kroeger will sell you a for the same money than you where. the black suspenders at 19c taar.

We feel sure that this can be accomplished at a still further reduction of the operating expenses, and yet increase the demand for our fruit, a thing we must do. By the use of one distributing medium, we can avoid the disasters of too much fruit in a single market, and too little in others. By supplying the legitimate demands of all markets, the trade is protected against losses by suddeg fluctuations, and we can have better average returns to all growers, without increasing the price to consumers, and thereby limiting the demand. With the hearty co-operation of all exchange members, as we have had heretofore, and with a friendly relation existing between all parties interested in the orange business, we are confident that the industry can be kept up on a sound footing and the values of oranges properly maintained. We trust you will believe that we have not undertaken this hastily or without the most mature deliberation, and we enter upon it fully convinced that it may take a little time to work out all the details in an entirely satisfactory way. If it should be alleged that this is a trust, our answer is that we neither seek to limit production nor to fix arbitrary prices, and therefore it is not any more in the nature of a trust than is the exchange. Trusting that our action will have your hearty approval, and assuring you that we shall guard every interest with care, we remain, very truly, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FRUIT EXCHANGE. The directors of the exchange are A. H. Naftzger, G. W. Garcelon, W. H. Young, A. H. Statsman, F. Scoville, W. R. Powell, N. W. Blanchard, W. G. Fraser, F. Q. Story, E. F. Van Luven, P. J. Dreher, F.
