WHERE SOME OF THE ROADS ARE We have now progressed sufficiently far with the good roads movement to know with reasonable certainty that three main lines of roadway extending south and southwest of Santa Ana will be built, viz.: (1) the road to San Juan, 20 miles, costing $120,000; (2) the road to Huntington Beach, 14 miles, costing $140,000, and (3) the road to Garden Grove, Westminster and Bay City, 20 miles, costing $120,000. That these three roads will be among the first to be constructed, admits of no doubt, among those in close touch with the situation. These roads will be insisted upon by residents of the southern and southwestern sections of the county; and we certainly make no objection to their construction if money on hand will permit.

These roads will be insisted upon by residents of the southern and southwestern sections of the county; and we certainly make no objection to their construction if money on hand will permit. We simply ask: Are we to be similarly treated in the northern part of the county? These three highways aggregate in cost $380,000, and with lateral roadways in that section, the total cost may be placed in round numbers at $400,000. How much money will be expended in the Third supervisor district, which polls very close to the vote of these two southern supervisor districts combined? Moreover, Los Alamitos and the populous territory north of the Garden Grove highway is part and parcel of the Second district, yet we are agreeable to charging the cost of a road from this city to Los Alamitos to this district. However, cutting off this northern part of the Second district will leave that portion of the county in which this huge amount of $400,000 is to be disbursed for good roads with considerable less than the population of the Third district. If population is to be made the basis for these good roads, why is this not a pertinent way of looking at this subject? In a word, will $400,000 be expended for good roads in this district? Certainly not, for the limit to which the county can bond itself in this instance is probably $750,-000, and prudence would seem to dictate that the full legal amount be not pressed to the ultimate limit. Here is a condition and not a theory which confronts voters in pended for good roads in this district? Certainly not, for the limit to which the county can bond itself in this instance is probably $750,-000, and prudence would seem to dictate that the full legal amount be not pressed to the ultimate limit. Here is a condition and not a theory which confronts voters in the northern portion of Orange county. Here are matters of the gravest importance to us, yet the committee of education coolly informs us these subjects cannot be discussed, because they are premature. These are matters for the commission to determine, they tell us. We say these matters are pertinent now, and we warn the committee that the personnel of the commission will be a weighty factor in determining the result of the election. Why not discuss these matters? The abrupt adjournment of the Buena Park meeting savors too much of gag law. If these bonds are ever to be carried, these matters, which are of interest to us, must be discussed, and discussed right, or it will be a waste of the public funds to call the election. District Attorney Davis put specs on those blind pigs at San Juan. They ought to be able to see the law quite clearly hereafter. MENTIMENT AGAINST IT Supervisor Linebarger has invited a personal friend in this what he will oppose the name of a highway commission, as is the subsequent calling of a selection, until such time as appears to be a greater sentiment among the taxpayers favoring such proceedings. Linebarger has found variations of his district unanimously opposed to voting bonds for roads according to the prescript program, and he finds that third supervisor district is actually a unit against incurring indebtedness at this time.

Mr. Nickey is said not at all averse to accepting him upon the commission, and understood he can have the fee he wants it. With this assistantman dictating the policy on commission, God help the district! The purpose of these good-enthusiasts to saddle this enordebtedness upon the county active of the needs of this disaffected people will try to carry action in spite of us. But we promise Mr. Nickey that he will have been to a footrace beaten. AN ENLARGED SCHOOL DISTRICT The trustees of the Anaheim union highschool district, which is composed of the Anaheim and Loara school districts, at a meeting on Wednesday evening resolved to ask the Garden Grove, Magnolia and Centralia school districts to join in the formation of an enlarged union highschool district, embracing these five districts. Students from each of these outlying districts are now attending highschool here, and are freely admitted without the usual tuition fee. Present quarters are overcrowded, and if the increase in attendance continues next term probably a nominal fee will be imposed upon students from outlying districts. The Anaheim highschool is regarded as being among the very foremost educational institutions in the state. Its graduates are accredited at the university, and enter the latter without additional examinations. The school was recently declared champion of the Southern California debating league, having defeated Santa Ana high, Throop polytechnic and Pasadena high. At the final championship debate between Anaheim and Pasadena, the former was declared the winner, and now holds the championship banner for '07, and the Stanford silver cup offered the school winning the championship debate. gentleman dictating the policy on commission, God help the district! the purpose of these good-athusiasts to saddle this enor-debtedness upon the county active of the needs of this disThese people will try to carry action in spite of us.

At the final championship debate between Anaheim and Pasadena, the former was declared the winner, and now holds the championship banner for '07, and the Stanford silver cup offered the school winning the championship debate. In athletics the school stands high, and last and not least important of all its faculty is composed of the best teachers in the state. Next year it will be necessary to increase the size of the school building, and it is contemplated adding another story to the structure. It is meet and proper that these outlying districts which furnish a number of students for the school should bear a portion of the burden of maintaining it, and it is to be hoped citizens of these communities will view the matter in praise-worthy spirit. The school offers the very best opportunities for students to fit themselves for the university as well as for imparting education in all the higher branches. The matter will be placed before the districts in the near future, and probably a meeting of trustees of all the districts will be held to further consider the subject. NATIONAL IRRIGATION CONGRESS The Inland waterways commission appointed some time ago by President Roosevelt will be represented at the national irrigation congress to be held in Sacramento, California, September 2-7 next.

The Inland waterways commission appointed some time ago by President Roosevelt will be represented at the national irrigation congress to be held in Sacramento, California, September 2-7 next. This information has been conveyed officially to the irrigation congress management in a letter written to W. A. Beard, chairman of the national executive committee, by Hon. Theodore E. Burton of Chicago, chairman of the commission. The appointment of this commission by the president is regarded as a very important act and deeply significant of the trend toward national conservation and development of the forest and stream resources of the country. Its purpose as outlined by the president at the time of its creation is to prepare and report a comprehensive plan for the improvement of and control of the river systems of the United States. In the course of his letter to the members announcing their appointment, the president said: "The time has come for the merging of local projects and uses of the inland waters in a comprehensive plan designed for the benefit of the entire country. Such a plan should consider all the uses to which the streams may be put great one, yet it is ce- too great for us to apply results which it seems are even greater." The members of the are: Hon.

It will be recollected that it was shown these roads, running through the soft coal region, had formed a sort of trust and pooled their coal freight. They owned and operated a number of mines and reserved their coal cars exclusively for the use of their own mines. The independent miners could not get cars, could not get switches, sidings or rail connections for their mines and were entirely at the mercy of the railroad combination.

To what extent specific work of the commissionure in the discussion cannot be told, but it is certain that the effort in the direction of govern-ment development of the streams and preservation of their water-will form an important topic fororal discussion. having special agents in the two months working up the case, Department of Justice has decided against several of the most pow-terial eastern coal carrying roads. Executions will follow the expose by the Interstate Commerce Commission last summer. The roads shown these roads, running through the soft coal region, had formed a sort of trust and pooled their coal freight. They owned and operated a number of mines and reserved their coal cars exclusively for the use of their own mines. The independent miners could not get cars, could not get switches, sidings or rail connections for their mines and were entirely at the mercy of the railroad combination. This combination had been in force for ten years. The Department of Justice thinks it has a clear case against all the roads named, and the fines, if imposed, will amount to over $1,000,000. It is the most important action ever contemplated by the government against the railroads. There is another and similar suit contemplated against the anthracite roads and if the two are pushed to a successful conclusion, they will do much to break up unfair discrimination of the railroads against independent producers not only of coal, but of other commodities. FORD MAKES TOUGH TRIP One of the most remarkable trips in which a small car ever participated was the non-stop run from Boston to the White Mountains and return made the middle of May by a Ford runabout. The car covered 368 miles over some of the toughest roads imaginable and established a new record for the run from Boston to the mountains and return, doing the distance in 22 hrs 34 min. The car started at midnight from the Bay State clubhouse driven by Arthur Peabody; he was accompanied by Harry Knight of the A.A.A. racing board. On this strenuous journey the little car carried a load of about 600 pounds all told, and it used up only 17 gallons of gasoline on the trip, which figures out nearly 22 miles to the gallon.
