Was It a Mistake? Did the Merchants association make a mistake in turning down the plan of the Bayside Land company for an "Anaheim Day" at Bay City? It seems it did, judging from what was said by a Bay Sider in town yesterday. "You fellows made the mistake of your lives," he went on. "in turning down the celebration. How so? I'll tell you." He took the newspaper man by the lapel of his waistcoat and continued: "Huntington was looking at you fellows when you did it. Don't you know Huntington owns Bay City? Don't you know Engineer Pillsbury is also largely interested there? "The company has been making many improvements there and is spending a lot of money. It was going to advertise an Anaheim Day for its opening day, and have boatraces, bathing, music, dancing in the pavilion, fireworks and all that sort of thing. "Huntington wanted to see how many people were in the county. He is building railroads as a business investment. Do you suppose he will build a line from Anaheim to Bay City before finding out first if it will pay? "I tell you if you people had had a crowd of five thousand people there on the opening day it would have done you more good with Huntington than all your committees sent up to interview him about building the road." Huntington wanted to see how many people were in the county. He is building railroads as a business investment. Do you suppose he will build a line from Anaheim to Bay City before finding out first if it will pay? "I tell you if you people had had a crowd of five thousand people there on the opening day it would have done you more good with Huntington than all your committees sent up to interview him about building the road. "And I have seen that many people at the Landing many a time. "If you people had turned out, from Anaheim, Fullerton, Placentia, Olinda, Buena Park and all the country west of here, what with the crowds from Artesia and Norwalk, as well as from Long Beach and Los Angeles, you would have had the best argument you could have made with Huntington." The reporter said he would go and tell Secretary Spencer all about it.

Fine Patch of Corn Mr. Neff has growing between the trees of his young walnut orchard ten acres of corn, planted upon ground on which peas had been sowed as a fertilizer. The corn was some days ago given its final irrigation and may now be compared to the best patches of the cereal in the county. Mr. Neff is a firm believer in fertilization and is preparing to sow vetches in his older walnut orchard. He finds vetches do better than peas where the larger trees shade so much of the ground. Peas do well in the sunlight, but in the shade are a failure. The cost of this green fertilizer is much cheaper than barnyard manure and much more efficacious. "Put humus in the soil," is the motto of this orchardist, and the excellent appearance of his trees and thrifty appearance of the ranch generally attests the success of his idea. Street Pavino Mr. Spake, president of the chamber of commerce, has a petition in circulation, which will be presented to the city council, asking that Center and Los Angeles streets be paved. The boundaries upon the former street are from Palm to Claudina, and upon the latter from Chartres to Chestnut. Property-owners are signing the petition, and a majority of the frontage is in sight. It is purposed to start paving operations immediately, and later to extend the paved area. Next to our splendid cement sidewalks, nothing will improve the city more than newly paved streets.

Mr. Porterfield who se An investigation into the possibilities of alcohol as a fuel in small gas engines is about to be begun by Professor Charles Lucke of Columbia university for the United States department of agriculture in the laboratory at Columbia. At the last session of congress the internal revenue tax was removed from denatured alcohol, so as to permit of its use for industrial purposes. This law goes into effect January 1, 1907. As a result it is expected that very large quantities of this alcohol will be used as fuel for small engines. It is expected that this will increase the products of the farm, nearly all of which can be utilized for alcohol manufacture. Professor Lucke will collect the results of the experiments conducted on the use of alcohol in engines which have been carried out both here and abroad, and will expand the information by further experiments. All of this data, together with a complete bibliography of the subject will be issued by the department of agriculture in the form of a bulletin, for free distribution on January 1, 1907, when the law goes into effect.

City trustees met in special session Friday evening to confer with Porterfield of the Home tele-company, who came to ask permission to file statements of expenditures made by his company in this city procuring his franchise two years ago. It had been generally supposed some company had practically for its rights under its franchise, inasmuch as with the exception of main-line long-distance connection it otherwise sought to avail itself provisions of the franchise. The advent of a possible third tele-company seems to have changed complexion of affairs, and the meetings called at Mr. Porterfield's re-actor the purpose of considering an beginning of work upon the sys- Porterfield showed that under the law his franchise continued in for three years from date of its sale, despite the provisions of the ordinance to the contrary. He ad- begin work upon a new and efficient telephone system. This looked good to the board, and it voted to grant the request for permission to file statements of expenditures made by the company. Trustees Rust, Fiscus, Kroeger and Stock voted affirmatively upon the proposition. Trustee Darling was absent from the meeting. Mr. Porterfield drove over from Long Beach in his large touring car, and returned to that city after the meeting. Starting from Long Beach in the morning in company of Attorney-General Hadley of Missouri, and Mr. Blake, the latter's assistant, he drove to Pasadena, and thence through Monrovia to Fullerton, this city and Santa Ana. At the latter point Mr. Hadley received a telegram bidding him return to Los Angeles, and he and Mr. Blake went to that city on the electric car. Mr. Porterfield drove to this city to attend the trustees' meeting. Speaking of his friend, the Attorney-General of Missouri, he said this was his first trip to Southern California and he was delighted with what he had seen. "I intend taking him through the Yosemite and other points of interest in the state. We brought him out to address the Chautauqua. He is one of the greatest orators in the country. We had under consideration Beveridge, Dolliver, La Follette and other orators, but we picked Hadley. He is Porterfield showed that under state law his franchise continued in for three years from date of its sale, despite the provisions of the ordinance to the contrary. He added he had failed to file verified events of the amounts of money exchanged here by his company, as reported by the franchise, but this, he did not invalidate the document, cited only to throw a cloud upon it. This verified statement he finished to file with the city clerk, and therefore asked permission of mustees so to do. It was the purpose of his entry to begin work upon the new one system and prosecute the two completion within 120 days. Company would expend $40,000 on the erection of a fire-proof building together with a first-class one system. Admitted the system should have completed before, but the company had been held up on account of receipt of material, and it had been unable to make headway. Other where the company had frankly were in similar predicament. Over the company had in its ware at Long Beach $30,000 worth of real, and was prepared to go right with the work and carry it to an completion. The statements of has expended by the company and them to exceed the amounts estimated in the franchise and were fully verified by officers of the commission of City Attorney Melting asked for on the question of lifetime of rights under the franchise. The company two years ago gentleman stated the fraud did not lapse under the state laws, until three years after the filing of the document. So far as the events of expenditures were concerned, they had no bearing upon the nature of the franchise. The facts seemed to be in excess of the required by the franchise, and he was legal objection to granting that they be filed. Porterfield, who seemed to have General of Missouri, he said this was his first trip to Southern California and he was delighted with what he had seen. "I intend taking him through the Yosemite and other points of interest in the state. We brought him out to address the Chautauqua. He is one of the greatest orators in the country. We had under consideration Beveridge, Dolliver, La Follette and other orators, but we picked Hadley. He is the republican attorney-general of Missouri and the man who has achieved a national reputation as the official who has banished the Standard Oil monopoly from his state. We thought he would do the republican party good out here. One orator like Hadley is worth more than forty newspapers. Hadley is going to be nominated for vice president. The ticket will be Roosevelt and Hadley." Mr. Porterfield was nominated for secretary of state of Missouri in 1900. He was elected by 15,000 majority, but was counted out. He later came to California and settled at Long Beach. He purchased a piece of property for $50,000 and in six months was offered $155,000 for it. He is erecting an eight-story building at Long Beach, and is forming a new $10,000,000 telephone company to absorb the Home systems in the various cities and towns of Southern California.
