ELECTRIC RAILWAY RUMOR A Line to Run From Ontario Through Fulferton and this City to Newport Beach An electric line connecting Ontario, Pomona, Chino and Newport, which may eventually be operated as a part of the Pacific Electric system to Pomona and Riverside from this city, and the Los Angeles and Newport line of the Pacific Electric Company, is the latest electric railway rumors. The proposed new line is said to be the project of the Ontario Land and Improvement Company of Ontario, and negotiations have been opened with the owners of the Chino ranch for right of way through this big property, which lies directly south of Pomona and Ontario. E. J. Marshall, president of the Chino Land and Water Company, stated yesterday that he had been approached by the promoters of the project, but so far no definite action has been taken. "Charles Frankish, president of the Ontario Land and Improvement Company, has talked with me on the subject of a right of way for an electric line from Ontario through Chino and on to Newport, a distance of about thirty-five miles," said Mr. Marshall yesterday, "but nothing definite has been decided upon. I know Mr. Frankish very slightly, and I am unable to say whether he has sufficient backing for the project." "I told him that the owners of the Chino ranch would not throw obstacles." Ontario Land and Improvement Company, has talked with me on the subject of a right of way for an electric line from Ontario through Chino and on to Newport, a distance of about thirty-five miles," said Mr. Marshall yesterday, "but nothing definite has been decided upon. I know Mr. Frankish very slightly, and I am unable to say whether he has sufficient backing for the project. "I told him that the owners of the Chino ranch would not throw obstacles in the way of any legitimate enterprise of that nature, but we would naturally like to know the plans of the company and have some assurance that they would be carried out before we granted rights of way. Since then I have heard nothing from him." At Ontario the Ontario Interurban Railway Company is being organized with a capital stock of $500,000 to carry out the project. Charles Frankish is the moving spirit in the enterprise, but eastern capitalists are supposed to be back of the company. Speaking of the new line Mr. Frankish said at Ontario Monday. "The object of the company, primarily, is to build an electric line from Ontario to Newport Bay, where the government is considering the building of a new harbor and which is only thirty-two miles from that city. "This line will make an outlet for all the produce of that valley, and will make Ontario one of the best commercial centers in Southern California. "It also is the company's intention to build from Ontario to near-by towns if found necessary to get direct connection from that to near-by cities. The Newport line probably will run via Chino and intermediate points. A great deal of the right of way already has been secured, and it is expected that work will commence soon." Plans thus far approved will provide for the reclamation of 3,171,000 acres of land. The average value of irrigated land in the United States is $47 an acre. This acreage therefore will add $149,037,000 to the taxable property of the United States in land values alone. The approximate total cost of the approved projects is $97,000,000. Under the law the irrigated lands are sold only in small parcels to actual settlers. Farms are taken up under the Home- Fighting Texas Tick Cattle ranchers in the southern county are systematically using the Texas fever tick under direction of the State and county erinarians. All the cattle belong Domingo Oyharasabal of San Capistrano have been treated to dip, and very shortly a similar treatment will be given the cattle of Louis Moulton ranch. A big pit was constructed near San Capistrano for Oyharasabal by W English, who is now building a Santa Margarita ranch for R O'Neil, and will soon commence construction of another near Elk for Louis Moulton. The first pit constructed is about eight feet in About seven feet of it was filled water, and on top of the water se inches of a lightgrade oil were placed the oil naturally keeping its above the water. Into this batch cattle were forced, horns and all each animal came out on the dirt boards with a coating of oil that effectively brought death to every New State of Oklahoma The total population of the state of Oklahoma is 1,408,732 per according to a census taken during latter part of last summer. The relation is almost equally divided between Oklahoma Territory and In Territory, the latter having a more than half. The western part of the new state a treeless prairie, but includes a group of small mountains in which Wichita national forest. The east part of the state has a great de woodland, and it is much to be b that the laws of the commonwe will foster these forests and encourage the planting of more trees. The makers of new states are notably re to adopt improved methods of government, their institutions not being ready set in old ways; and as Mich established a state university; Kansas industrial college training; and W iming, women suffrage; in the beginning of their history, so Oklahoma us hope, will provide for leaving gr ing forests untaxed, that the own may be able to hold them within 90 days. Plans thus far approved will provide for the reclamation of 3,171,000 acres of land. The average value of irrigated land in the United States is $47 an acre. This acreage therefore will add $149,037,000 to the taxable property of the United States in land values alone. The approximate total cost of the approved projects is $97,000,000. Under the law the irrigated lands are sold only in small parcels to actual settlers. Farms are taken up under the Homestead Act and no farm can consist of more than 160 acres, the size of farm which any one settler is allowed to take up being set larger or smaller according to the local possibilities of agriculture. As the government charge averages only about $50 an acre, while the average value of such land is $47, the purchasers of these lands are benefitted by an "unearned increment" to the extent of about 50 per cent of their investment. There is every indication that the subject of financial legislation will be debated extensively in the present session of Congress, in spite of the fact that Speaker Cannon has been of the contrary opinion, an opinion shared by some of the leaders of the Senate. Many plans are proposed and suggestions made as to the currency needs of the country, but the proposition of a "Federal central bank of issue" expressed by Senator Hansborough, member of the Finance Committee, is considered the most likely idea of all, and it is known that the President looks upon it with favor. After all it may be that the Financial Crisis of 1907 will revolutionize the financial methods of the government and in its results may prove a blessing to the nation. Whatever doubt may have remained in the minds of the most sceptical and the sincerity of the President's assent that he will regard the efforts Federal office-holders to promote Presidential boom, or their permit themselves to be sent as instructed to the Republican national convention, as an official impropriety, he been removed by the publication of the President's letter on the subject, which he makes his meaning perfect clear and unmistakable. "You will notify such office-holders as is necessary that their acceptance of election delegates for the purpose of their advocating such indorsement will be considered a serious violation of official propriety and will be dealt with accordingly." There is nothing subtler or arbituous in this sentence. It is plain statement of the President wishes in the matter, and must be taken as such even by those politicians who have lost no opportunity to impugn the motives of Mr. Roosevelt in almost every move or appointment to office that he has made.

Coroner Smith was notified and held an inquest. It was learned that Jargott had been drinking heavily of late, and was in a despondent mood. Thos. Powell called on him Saturday morning and found him sitting on the bed in his underclothes. He was just recovering from a spree and told Powell he wished he knew of some easy way of dying. Sunday afternoon about 3 o'clock two men drove by his place and found the body. They notified W. H. Coughran, a neighbor, who went to the house and later notified the coroner. The body was found in a sitting position on the floor, with the back against the wall, with no clothing on except an undershirt. Near the body was a muzzle-loading shotgun, with both barrels empty. The muzzle had evidently been placed against the forehead between the eyes for the whole top of the head had been blown away. It is believed that only one barrel was used by the suicide in ending his life. A. L. Bennett, who lives within a few rods of Jargott's house, at the inquest testified that the deed must have been committed Saturday afternoon, as he was away from home during that time, and would have heard the report of the gun had it been committed on Sunday. The suicide was the father of Mrs. Charles Griffith of Buena Park, and had resided in that vicinity for a number of years. The funeral was held in Anaheim Monday. So far as is known to the coroner he left no estate. The coroner's jury was composed of A. L. Bennett, Wm. Abplanalp, Frank Surber, S. Huff, R. Neifert and F. L. Austin.

Carpenter Water Company brings into issue points that the courts will have to settle. The paper just filed is the answer of a portion of the irrigators, who are willing that an agreement signed by them should stand. Under the agreement the Irvine Company may take water out of the Santiago Creek watershed during the seven wet months of the year, and in return it gives the irrigators the right to develop water in three side canons and to use a reservoir site. The portion of the irrigators not represented in today's answer will fight any agreement whereby the Irvine Company is allowed to take water out of the watershed. They claim that the other irrigators have no right to sign away their water rights. The boards of directors of the Serrano Water Association and the John T. Carpenter Water Company have signed the Irvine agreement. The court will be called upon to decide whether or not these boards had a right to deal with water rights when the companies are formed merely for the purpose of distributing water.
