TALE OF WOE AT SANTA ANA BUILDING ELECTRIC LINE REVEALS SKELETON Huntington Beach Board of Trade Passed Resolutions Censuring Sugar Company for Delay—Influences Were at Work to Keep Ranchers from Signing Contracts for Beets Final details in the negotiations for an electric line between Santa Ana and Huntington Beach were arranged this week and work of construction will begin in a few days. This was settled upon at a meeting held at the office of the Pacific Electric railway company in Los Angeles, when James McFadden and F. B. Case, representing the Southern California sugar company; Paul Shoup, representing the Southern Pacific company; and Chief Engineer Pillsbury and General Manager McMillan for the Pacific Electric company, got together and drew up and signed an agreement whereby the electric line from Huntington Beach to Santa Ana will be built at once, and made ready for operation by the first of July next. Chief Engineer Pillsbury said the material was all on hand and available at shortest notice and that now that the agreement has been ratified the work of construction will begin at once. As early as last September a contract had been executed between the sugar company and the electric railway company to build from Hunting- Chief Engineer Pillsbury said the material was all on hand and available at shortest notice and that now that the agreement has been ratified the work of construction will begin at once. As early as last September a contract had been executed between the sugar company and the electric railway company to build from Huntington Beach to Talbert, and have the road completed and in operation by June 15, 1909, but at that time no arrangement could be made to build through to the factory. The sugar company began securing the right of way from Talbert to the factory, and had that work completed by January 1st, this year, and tendered the deed of such right of way to the Pacific Electric railway company, since which time negotiations have been pending for the building of that part of the electric road. Comes the Blade with the following tale of woe: "As we are informed, the same interests that worked so hard to keep ranchers from contracting their beets with the Southern California sugar company last fall have worked diligently to in every way discredit the sugar company with the people of Huntington Beach and along the line of the proposed railway, saying the road would not be built, that the sugar company was working against the best interests of the people, etc., hoping to create some enmity between those who had contracted beets with the sugar company and the railway. The Huntington Beach News by several articles published, has in each instance charged all delays in the building of the road to the sugar company, and even intimated that on account of the position taken by the sugar company the road might not be built. "During all this time the sugar company and the railway company have been working in complete harmony, and have been adjusting all matters looking toward the early building of the complete line. "The sugar company was secured as to the transportation of its beets thanklessly eat large quantities fancy foods; as thanklessly leased yards he had specially made them, and which produced two per week for the lot. Mrs. Timmons, on the other had bought eight hens and a script-looking rooster from a wagon that had passed. They a badly assorted lot of hens, alike, but they were grateful for occasional handful of table scraps gave them, and each laid practically daily. It was maddening. Sitting in his office next day Timmons had an idea. It was an original idea, but he believed would help things along. He buy a few eggs and place them his nests, thereby not only ing Mrs. Timmons, but encourage his hens to lay. That evening he took an old into his confidence, the agree being that every evening he slip in the barn gate and place ven eggs in the nests. "Well," said Mrs. Timmons morning, "your old hens have up. I went back there and laid eleven eggs." "Sure enough," said Mr. Tim delightedly. "They're remarkably yours." Next day it was the same. A ple of days later Mrs. Timmons to him with the eggs in her apothecary are the most remarkable hens I ever saw," she said. "I mine were like them." "It pays to get good stock," Mr. Timmons, grandly. "Why is a world of difference between birds and those mongrels you—" "I should say there is," said Mrs. Timmons, "Why your hens have laid fourteen eggs and one of them is a goose egg." "Hah, hah!" cackled Mr. Tim weakly. "Somebody's let some hens in that pen. They'd better my birds alone or I'll kill some—" WILSON BILL SIGNED Sacramento, April 24.—The mentions of a score of Yolo county account of the position taken by the sugar company the road might not be built. "During all this time the sugar company and the railway company have been working in complete harmony, and have been adjusting all matters looking toward the early building of the complete line. "The sugar company was secured as to the transportation of its beets when the contract was made last September for the building of the road from Talbert to Huntington Beach, but it had promised the people to do the best it could to have the complete line built and has paid out thousands of dollars to accomplish this result. "The Huntington Beach board of trade passed resolutions censuring the sugar company for the delay, and the same were published in the Huntington Beach News. Another instance of the effort to put the sugar company in a false light with the people and at the same time the sugar company was spending its money and time in closing details for the completion of the road the entire distance, that it might keep faith with the people along the line and in Huntington Beach. We have thoroughly informed ourselves as to these conditions, and do not hesitate to say that in our opinion the electric railway from Santa Ana to Huntington Beach would not have been built for many years had it not been for the Southern California sugar company, and that the industry established and the building of this electric railway places the people of Orange county under an obligation to it that invites only commendation and praise and the united support of the people, particularly in hens have laid fourteen eggs and one of them is a goose egg." WILSON BILL SIGNED Sacramento, April 24.—The members of a score of Yolo county ple, who labored with Gov. Gill week or two ago to have him the Wilson bill creating the Yolo sin drainage district, prevailed cause he signed the measure and it is now a law. One of the objects of the act to secure the drainage of the land Yolo basin by means of a canal connecting it with Suisun bay, into all the flood waters will be drawn. While the canal is not calculated drain the basin completely, it will least afford relief and render acres fit for grazing for a long period of the year than at present. The law is so framed as not terfere with the Sacramento drain district, of which the Yolo basin part.

Mr. sevelt was much interested in phase of horsemanship and deed that cavalry officers be required attain proficiency in it, and have remained longer in office would bably have included it in the re-ed tests. and Huntington Beach, long the line between the as we can learn, every has done business or is dowith the Southern Callcompany has nothing but commendation for the comts fair dealing, and we none will be so shortto allow any one, particupersons who have done all over to, discourage and deproposition, to influence the best interests of unity.

When street paving was reached a resolution was adopted that paving be deferred six months, unless in the meantime a majority of property-owners on the streets affected petition for such improvement.
