Should the boundaries of the proposed city and county of Los Angeles be finally placed as suggested by the Chamber of Commerce of that city, and referred to elsewhere in this issue, a territory in excess of 400 square miles will be excluded from the present area of that county—more than half the area of Orange county. In this territory are located the towns of Pomona, Azusa, Covina, Vineland and other communities in the upper valley, and La Mirada, Northam, Artesia, Norwalk, Clearwater, and other places geographically adjacent to our northern boundary line. Residents of this latter section are, we learn, most anxious to become part of Orange county, rather than become part of a possible new county, having Pomona as the county seat. Norwalk is fifteen miles from Santa Ana, the county seat of Orange county with electric railway connection is a place for them in County. W. E. Curtis in his letter to Santa Barbara to the Washougal Star, says: "When Henry Tennant, president of the Amity Beet Sugar Company, as they is called, was trying to secure election to the United States stateate, he took up his residence in the town of Oxnard and could not be a citizen of California mediately after his defeat in Republican State convention fall, when he could not even the vote of his own choice he packed up his lares and moved to New York. It not been seen here since, but interests are still very large." ENLARGEMENT of the city house and expansion of the limits have been the two uppermost in the public minding the week. Dollar gas and cent electric light have a fairly sound, not only to citizens of the municipality but to our as well. It is believed the position to issue $69,000 for improvements will carry somely, despite the fact that croppings of opposition proposition have appeared off-the-way places. Opposite improvements has, it seems strange bad fellows; but the paign is going yet and time for all hands to put s water, and other places geographically adjacent to our northern boundary line. Residents of this latter section are, we learn, most anxious to become part of Orange county, rather than become part of a possible new county, having Pomona as the county seat. Norwalk is fifteen miles from Santa Ana, the county seat of Orange county, with electric railway connections near. The distance to Pomona is twenty-five miles, with a mountain range intervening. Of course these towns wish to ally themselves with us, and a cordial invitation will be extended them to come and be of us. The Chambers of Commerce of Santa Ana, Fullerton and this city have taken the matter up earnestly, and committees have been appointed to confer with the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, as well as with residents of the territory affected, to the end that the addition may be made to this county. In the suggested boundaries of the city and county, it will be noted, Pomona is excluded. Will that town seek to erect itself into a new county, or will it be tempted by the Owens river water to remain in Los Angeles? If the latter course be pursued, what is to become of the upward of 350 square miles of territory cut off in the upper valley? Will its residents prefer Riverside or San Bernardino? Geographically it belongs to either one or the other of those counties. Much of it is desert land and worthless, as compared with the rich fields of Orange county. Yet a great part of it, notably about Pomona and Azusa, is rich land and valuable. Should Pomona seek to form a new county, all this upper valley will doubtless be included, yet the area is too small to be successfully erected into a new county. Will Pomona claim the forty square as compared with the rich fields of Orange county. Yet a great part of it, notably about Pomona and Azusa, is rich land and valuable. Should Pomona seek to form a new county, all this upper valley will doubtless be included, yet the area is too small to be successfully erected into a new county. Will Pomona claim the forty square miles of territory across our northern boundary? There are other questions of paramount interest to our people in this new move upon the part of Los Angeles, and it behoves us to be up betimes and doing to the end that the rich section contiguous to us be made a part of Orange county. To our friends in this section, we extend salutations and a welcome to come and be of us. Orange county was once a part of Los Angeles. We severed our relations with her, taking the richest, most fertile and best watered part of the old county into the new county of Orange. We have waxed fat and prospered in this gem county of the southland. Residents of the affected area will find here friends of former days. We have met them in business, we have met them on pleasure bent, we have met them in our party conventions, and everywhere have found them to be upright, honorable and patriotic citizens. There We believe the interests of gas company should be respected gentlemen forming the committee into the enterprise in good faith are entitled to consideration they ask $33,500 for their place the city's engineer makes rent a first-class plant can be in $15,000. There exists a wide here. Cannot the city and people get together and an satisfactory solution of the problem. AN item in a Los Angeles some days ago was to the extent the state pathological station located at Whittier. The cording to those posted in there is without foundation, it proving the work of some lineal officer of Baron Murchansen temporarily employed upon the angel city of Anaheim is still in the run hopes to land the station. CONSUMERS of electric pay $15 per month for them and there are in town many pay approximately $10 for service when the enlarged house gets into running order of 33½ per cent in elec charges is confidently here is a saving of $60 per these business houses. The increased taxes made by the issuance of the bonds or 70 cents on the hundred ARTIS in his letter from Santa Ana to the Washington City "When Henry T. Oxndard of the American Company, as the trust was trying to secure his residence in Oxnard and claimed taken of California. Imafter his defeat in the State convention last he could not control state of his own county, up his lares and penates to New York. He has seen here since, but his life still very large." MENT of the city power expansion of the city has been the two topics in the public mind durink. Dollar gas and tennic light have a fascination not only to citizens of capitality but to outsiders it is believed the proposue $69,000 for public events will carry handspite the fact that outof opposition to the city have appeared in outplaces. Opposition to events has, it seems, made and fellows; but the camming yet and there is all hands to put shoulder level of progress and push paying taxes on $1,000 of valuation would pay $6.50 or $7.00 taxes the first year of the use of the bonds, and the amount will decrease each year. If a firm can save $60 by paying $7.00 or even twice or three times that sum, it ought to be considered a good business proposition. But it is not in thus saving money that the enlarged and improved power-house should be approved by the people. The reason for supporting the proposition is to provide water and light not only to our own people who cannot now obtain these utilities, but to offer them as well to the scores of homeseekers looking this way for places of investment. How will our city be made attractive to the thousands of easterners now flocking into Southern California?—by saying to them, they can obtain these utilities here cheaply and in abundance, or by telling them we cannot furnish them with these essential to a city's existence? Shall we tell them our present water and lighting plants are being worked to the very limit of their capacity, and that new consumers cannot be supplied, or shall we do what other progressive Southern California towns are doing—provide means of obtaining water, light and fuel for them, and make our town attractive as a location for permanent residence? These questions should not be hard to answer. Those who have at heart the good of their city will vote for these improvements; yet we have with us those who would oppose progress and turn this incoming throng of home-seekers away. These objectors opposed new school buildings, they opposed the high school, they opposed the recent special tax for sidewalks about the school-houses and for providing sanitary closets and additional school facilities Prices of walnuts were fixed at a meeting of Associated Growers in Los Angeles Saturday as follows: Soft shells, first-class, 13 cents per pound; seconds, 9 cents; standard soft shells, 12½ cents; seconds, 8½ cents. These prices rule one cent higher than those of last season. The following officers were elected: W. H. Spurgeon, Santa Ana, president; T. Z. Gooch, Rivera, vice-president; J. A. Montgomery, Rivera, secretary and treasurer. These objectors opposed new school buildings, they opposed the high school, they opposed the recent special tax for sidewalks about the school-houses and for providing sanitary closets and additional school facilities for our rapidly growing school population. In a word, they are against progress because it might cost them a dollar on taxes. Shall the municipality be guided by such people, or shall we join the procession of progressive towns and go onward with the incoming tide of prosperity. The municipal water works have turned into the city treasury during the past ten years a total surplus of $2973 93. This amount, as in the instance of the surplus derived from the electric lights, has been used in making improvements to the service. The water rate is 10 cents per 100 cubic feet, equaling 750 gallons. The minimum monthly rate is $1, which gives consumers the right to use 7500 gallons of water in their households, upon lawns and for other purposes. This rate, it is considered, is sufficiently reasonable at this time, and no reduction is contemplated, although a cut in them may be made when the enlarged power-house gets in running order.

The story, acto those posted in the matter, found foundation, it probably bework of some lineal descendant Murchansen temporarily empon the angel city newspaper. It is still in the running, and and the station. MERS of electric lights who oper month for the service— are in town many such—will approximately $10 for the same when the enlarged power gets into running order. A reof 33½ per cent in electric light is confidently looked for. A saving of $60 per year to business houses. Increased taxes made necessary insurance of the bonds will be 65 bits on the hundred. A man Prices of walnuts were fixed at a meeting of Associated Growers in Los Angeles Saturday as follows: Soft shells, first-class, 13 cents per pound; seconds, 9 cents; standard soft shells, 12½ cents; seconds, 8½ cents. These prices rule one cent higher than those of last season. The following officers were elected: W. H. Spurgeon, Santa Ana, president; T. Z. Gooch, Rivera, vice-president; J. A. Montgomery, Rivera, secrtary and treasurer. The meeting represented San Fernando, Oxnard, San Gabriel, Saticoy, Santa Barbara, Santa Paula, Mountain View, Santa Ana, Golden Belt, Fullerton, and Los Nietos and Rivera associations. Secretary Montgomery issued the following information regarding the coming season: "The demand is increasing at a greater rate than the product and a market could be found for twice the present output at prices as great as those prevailing at present. Orders are already in from eastern dealers nearly covering the output from Southern California for this season. There is no objection made to prices asked and the cash for each car is with the treasurer before the car is shipped. "The Southern California Association represents 25,000 acres of walnut groves; 6,000 acres of this is centered around Whittier and Rivera. The output last year from the general association was 506 cars of 20,000 pounds each. "The prices this year are one cent higher than last year, owing to a shortage of nearly seventy-five cars, which it is estimated there will be in" Prof. Sholl, teacher of give a social dance and Tuesday night, at operanning Oct. 3d.

William Jackson is agent at Orange for Maier’s Walnut Huller, a machine extensively used and giving excellent satisfaction. The machine is simple in construction, easy to run and does the work perfectly, shucking nuts that could not possibly be shelled by hand. The machine conforms itself perfectly to the size of the nuts, hulling both large and small at the same time without damaging the larger nuts. Major Jackson last year sold nine machines in this vicinity, which are doing good work. The machines are strongly built and nicely painted. With a No. 2 machine, two men can hull three tons of nuts in a day. The price is $68.00 delivered on the ground where the machine is to be used. The No. 3 machine requires a three horse power and will hull six tons of nuts in a day; price, $90.00 delivered. Major Jackson’s territory includes Santa Ana, Anaheim, Fullerton, Orange and the adjoining country. His headquarters are at the office of J. P. Small & Co., Post Office block, Orange, where samples of the machine may be examined by anyone interested. Sept. 28, 2t
