ORANGE GROWERS MEET AT SANTA ANA AND DISCUSS SITUATION Shortage of Cars and Poor Service Play Havoc With Citrus Industry—Better Time Demanded In Transporting Shipments of Fruit. A number of orange growers met at Santa Ana on Saturday for the purpose of discussing the present condition of the orange business. J. A. Booty called the meeting to order and Clyde Bishop was elected chairman and J. J. Zielian secretary. Mr. Booty gave a history of his experience and that of his neighbors in shipping their oranges the past season through the Citrus Union, whose methods he condemned in the severest terms. He claimed that they had held out false promises to the grower in order to get their fruit and had withheld their returns for months. Mr. Booty submitted the following resolution, which carried: WHEREAS, The orange industry is now in such a condition that it imperatively demands the prompt and united action of all the orange growers of Southern California. It is hereby moved that the counties hereafter named be urgently requested to unite with us and select five delegates from each county to meet as promptly as possible to advise and deliberate as to what can be done to prevent the orange industry from going at once to ruin. San Bernardino, Riverside, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Orange and San Diego are the counties named. From now on the meeting began to be spirited and as each speaker finished it became more and more evident that an agreement upon any plan would be impossible. The friends of the Southern California Orange Growers' Association were plainly in the majority, and they could not consent to the formation of another association when there was one already. ELECTRIC RAILWAY FRUMORS Right of Way Desired Between this City and Buena Park—Garden Grove Line Said to Have Been Abandoned. Reports are in circulation to the effect that the Pacific Electric railway people are in the field securing deeds to rights of way in Orange county between Buena Park and West Anaheim. Yesterday the statement was made upon good authority that several deeds have been placed in escrow in Los Angeles, and that more would follow before the week is over. Beyond Buena Park rights of way have been procured in Los Angeles county south of Los Nietos, where it is now said the line to Santa Ana would diverge from the main line to Whittier. It is given out on good authority that the ronte contemplated some months ago through Garden Grove has been abandoned, and that the line will run through Buena Park and West Anaheim to this city and thence southerly to Santa Ana. Reports are also in circulation to the effect that Huntington is securing deeds to right of way through La Habra, where some persons sought last fall to hold him up for extortionate prices for easements. Huntington has already secured rights of way through the Santa Ana canyon, and he recently purchased from Don Tomas Scully a 200-foot deed through the ranch of that gentleman near Rincon, a distance of two miles, paying $6000 therefor. It is said he intends building a sub-station for power purposes on the tract. Other reports prevail that the line will run through Fullerton and this city, from La Habra, and thence on to Santa Ana. Huntington has a franchise through the streets of this city, and has laid rails on Los Angeles street near Broadway. Graders for the electric railway have passed Anaheim Landing on their way to Pacific City, but it is said the road will not run thence to Newport Beach. Owners of land between Pacific City and Newport Beach ask in the neighborhood of $30,000 for rights PROGRAM FARMERS INSTITUTE Meets at Opera-House Today and Tomorrow—Many Notable Men To Be Here. This morning at 10 o'clock the Farmers' Institute will meet at the Opera-house. Two sessions will be held, morning and afternoon. On Friday three sessions will be held, morning, afternoon and evening. The meetings will be in charge of Prof. A. J. Cook, whom our citizens have had the pleasure of meeting before. Prof. Cook will find a warm welcome awaiting him, as will the others accompanying him. The Institute program is as follows: OPENING DAY, THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 10 A.M. Music Invocation Rev. W. H.

Baker TO DISCUSS CHURCH TOPICS Great Missionary Gathering of Episcopal Church of the West A great missionary gathering, to include all jurisdictions of the Episcopal church on the Pacific coast, is to be held in Los Angeles April 13th to 17th inclusive. San Bernardino, Riverside, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Orange and San Diego are the counties named. From now on the meeting began to be spirited and as each speaker finished it became more and more evident that an agreement upon any plan would be impossible. The friends of the Southern California Orange Growers' Association were plainly in the majority, and they could not consent to the formation of another association when there was one already in the field that was being honestly and economically administered. Mr. N. A. Clifford, Mr. R. B. Guthrie and Mr. S. J. Beals were the principal advocates of the association. They pictured the struggle of the association in trying to unite the growers of Southern California, but had never succeeded in getting more than half. They also entered into the discussion of the cost of picking, packing and all other expenses connected with the marketing of the fruit, and showed that the charges were not excessive. Mr. Beoty submitted another resolution outlining a plan for disposing of the oranges: "The following is respectfully submitted as the outline to be adopted for the marketing of our fruits in the future: First—Let the Fruit Growers' Association remain as an nucleus to which all members of the Citrus Union and independent growers may unite. Second—That we handle this fruit through the thousand or more commission merchants in the East. That on each day we receive bids by wire from these commission merchants as to how much cash they will advance on a car of oranges; and that no cars be consigned to any one who does not pay cash for packing, and in additional a fixed minimum price for each box. By adopting this plan we will have the commission merchants in every city in the United States offering every day the highest cash payments for a consignment of fruit. The manager for marketing the fruits could then also notify by wire every commission merchant how many cars, and also the grade of fruit that was en route to his city." A second to this motion was secured, but outside of Mr. Booty it received practically no support on the floor. After a wordy tilt between I. Naylor of Los Angeles and M. V. Hartrandt, editor of the Fruit World, a vote was taken and the motion declared lost. SEVENTH GRADE.

Huntington has a franchise through the streets of this city, and has laid rails on Los Angeles street near Broadway. Graders for the electric railway have passed Anaheim Landing on their way to Pacific City, but it is said the road will not run thence to Newport Beach. Owners of land between Pacific City and Newport Beach ask in the neighborhood of $30,000 for rights of way, and this the company will not pay. Huntington has five shiploads of steel rails on the water from Antwerp and as soon as these arrive he will probably begin extensive railway building in this county. Surveyors have already run a line from the center of this city westerly and on to Buena Park, and although great secrecy is maintained relative thereto, an officer high in the councils of the railway said this week that the line would undoubtedly run by way of this line. POISONED WINE AT CHURCH If Effects of Imbibing Communion Wine at Christian Church on Sunday. After partaking of the communion wine at the Christian Church on Sunday, the pastor, Rev. Markle, and many of his congregation, became deathly sick, and many had to be assisted from the church. Investigation made later revealed that the bottle in which the communion wine had been kept had previously contained varnish such as is used by furniture dealers. The attendance at church was unusually large and there were many communicants. The officiating clergyman poured the communion wine out of the bottle in which it had been kept into the small chalice in which it was to be passed among the members of the congregation. He did not notice anything unusual about the wine. First one member of the congregation partook of it and then another. The clergyman had not returned to his place before looks of suffering came into the faces of those that had drank the wine. Several of the worshippers got up and left the church. Then others followed. The services were not cut short and some of the more stoical members of the congregation stayed until the end. Then they consulted physicians at once and antidotes were administered. It was found that the wine cruit had been used last year as a receptacle for turpentine and varnish and that the communion wine had been placed in the bottle before it had been thoroughly rinsed.

FULLER MUST BE GOOD Fuller's appeal to the Supreme Court for a writ of censorari reviewing Judge Bledsoe's judgment restraining him from diverting river water upon his non-riparian lands, was this week heard and denied by the higher tribunal, without hearing argument in support of the water companies' contention. This means that Fuller must respect Judge Bledsoe's decision until such time as the case is finally passed upon by the Supreme Court. Dainty Collars for Easter at Woman's Exchange. What Fullerton people think of Photographer Hartsook: I have had work from some of the best photographers in Germany, as well as from some of the leading artists of Los Angeles, and have paid double the price that I paid for the work from Hartsook, and it is no better; in fact, we are better pleased with Mr. Hartsook's work.

Darling, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Darling, breathed her last, after a lingering illness of many weeks, at the home of her parents, at 9:30 o'clock on Tuesday evening. She had suffered from a complication of illness from which it was impossible for her to recover. She bore her sufferings with true Christian fortitude and sank gradually, uncomplainingly into the silence of the shadow of death. Grief-striken relatives were about her bedside as her spirit wafted its flight into the regions of eternal rest. Deceased was in her twentieth year and her many sweet traits of character endeared her to a host of friends, who deeply regret her untimely end. Her sorrowing parents and relatives have the sincere sympathy of the entire community in their great loss. Interment occurred on Wednesday afternoon from the Catholic church. Rev. Father Dubbel conducted the burial services. The casket was covered with floral offerings from friends near and far. A sweet and winsome girl, just blossoming into young womanhood, has gone from the heartstone, and aching hearts remain to hold requiem over the spirit that has gone into eternity. Mrs. Darling, mother of deceased, is herself seriously ill with heart trouble, and the family feels deepest anxiety lest she too may succumb. Year of Prosperity. Mike Reagan was in the city this week from Los Alamitos and reports recent rains insure bountiful beet crops in that section. Mike has eighty acres of alfalfa which promises handsome returns. He has lived in the sugar belt a number of years and has not failed to clean up a goodly stake each season. This year he purposes to discount all past achievements in fattening up his bank account. He states the sugar factory will begin operations on syrups some time next month. A new process for extracting sugar from syrups formerly turned to waste has been installed whereby hundreds of pounds of refined sugar will be added to the output. Baseball. Olinda had sweet revenge on Apex at Busher park on Sunday afternoon, the score standing 6 to 2.
