SANTA ANA A deed to thirty-seven and a half acres of land in West Orange was placed on record at the courthouse last week. While the deed bears date of Sept. 23, 1905, it was recorded after the property had been attached by Sheriff Lacy and after notice of attachment had been recorded. The property attached is the John C. Keefe ranch. Keefe is defendant in an action brought by two Chicago women to recover from him the sum of $6355.36, alleged to be due them from a trust fund in his care. Notice of attachment was recorded Friday. The papers were served on Keefe on Monday. Now comes the 1905 deed, which describes the same property attached. The deed is from John C. Keefe and Maria H. Keefe, his wife, to Clarice C. Keefe. The deed was signed before S. M. Craddick of Orange on Sept. 23, 1905. An unusual situation has developed in the northwestern part of the city. Property owners, by the selection of a schoolhouse site, hope to force the City Trustees to build a $5000 sewer line that will accommodate them. The school board is to build a $20,000 schoolhouse in that section. A number of sites were offered. The school board decided to consult the property owners. The property owners quietly got together and decided to vote for a site where there was no sewer. This they did by naming two acres at the corner of Seventeenth and Greenleaf streets. Now it develops that the city has not enough money in its sewer fund to build the necessary line on Baker street. The school board may decide to put a sewer line through private property, but at present the school board contends that it has no money to spend on sewers, that the money week filed by the Shiokusau Company, with principal place of business at Santa Ana. The stock is capitalized at fourteen thousand dollars, all of which has been actually subscribed. The directors and stockholders are Numinosuka Date, Tatsunosuke Ishibashi, Jutaro Yamishita, Selchi Kako, Yusei Egawa, all of Santa Ana. The object of the association is to buy, own, hold and develop farming lands and sell real estate and to buy stocks and bonds of other companies. Mrs. Eva Parker today swore to a complaint charging her husband, Chas. H. Parker, with desertion and failure to provide for her and her 16-months old child. Parker was collector for the Edison Electric Co. On Tuesday of last week he disappeared. An apparent shortage of $300 was reported found in his accounts. So far no complaint has been asked for here, making any charge against him on account of the reported shortage. The Edison Electric Company is not going to seek prosecution, and his surety, the American Bonding Company, has not yet applied for a warrant. LOS ALAMITOS Following are the purity and sugar averages of the Los Alamitos refinery for the week ending Aug. 21, 1909: Purity Sugar August 16...86.75...21.88 August 17...87.57...21.58 August 18...86.22...21.44 August 19...86.79...21.72 August 20...86.78...21.43 NEWPORT BEACH Though the hot weather has been unfavorable to the development of beans, the crop on the San Joaquin Ranch, owned by the Irvine Company, will be the largest in its history. There are 17,000 acres on the ranch planted to beans—the largest field in the world owned by one firm. Every share of stock issued was re- etly got together and decided to vote for a site where there was no sewer. This they did by naming two acres at the corner of Seventeenth and Greenleaf streets. Now it develops that the city has not enough money in its sewer fund to build the necessary line on Baker street. The school board may decide to put a sewer line through private property, but at present the school board contends that it has no money to spend on sewers, that the money it has was voted to build a schoolhouse. Developments will be watched with interest. Mrs. B. A. Smith of San Pedro has brought suit for $299 damages against Henry Warren, an aged spectacle dealer of Santa Ana, on the ground that Warren maliciously had her prosecuted on a charge of disturbing the piece. Mrs. Smith and her husband took possession of premises Warren had rented in order to keep him from getting the walnut crop, which both claimed. Warren had the man and his wife arrested. They were tried and acquitted. The civil complaint for damages followed. By a judgment of condemnation entered by Judge Bledsoe of San Bernardino in the Superior Court here the Santa Ana High School district comes into possession of all the property it wanted for a $17,000 addition to the high school. The suit was against Louise and Ruth Smith, minors. Judgment was for $2950, the price settled upon out of court. Santa Ana's fire hall is elaborately decorated with old shoes and placards in expectancy of the homecoming of Montgomery Jackson, now on his honeymoon. Jackson has had charge of the fire hall and has driven the fire wagon for a number of years. A release of a $73,000 mortgage on the famous David Hewes ranch of El Modena has been filed. The mortgage was given by Hewes in December, 1907, to raise money to put up the David Hewes building at the corner of Sixth and Market, San Francisco. The notes were given to the Whitehead & Kales Iron Works of Wayne, Mich. Judgment by default was today entered in favor of Joseph Holz against the Black Star Coal Corporation of California for the sum of $374.50 principal and interest on a promissory note given plaintiff to defendant. A foreclosure suit was begun in NEWPORT BEACH Though the hot weather has been unfavorable to the development of beans, the crop on the San Joaquin Ranch, owned by the Irvine Company, will be the largest in its history. There are 17,000 acres on the ranch planted to beans—the largest field in the world owned by one firm. Every share of stock issued was represented at the meeting of stockholders of the Southern California Sugar Company at Santa Ana on Monday afternoon. The directors, with one exception, were reelected. H. S. Haddall retired from the board and was succeeded by Gen. F. H. Case. The other members are James Irvine, Jas. McFadden, R. T. Harris, F. P. Nickey, R. J. Blee, Dr. J. M. Raugh, A. J. Crookshank and Dr. H. S. Gordon. James Irvine was elected president. C. L. Whipple, the well known real estate man, started a subscription at Balboa Wednesday evening to buy a cup to be presented to the man catching the largest fish or shark in the bay during the month of September. F. W. Beckwith, being the official weigher for the Rod and Reel Club, will weigh the catches submitted for the prize. The trophy will be well worth winning, as $13 had been subscribed to the fund up to Thursday morning. The state fish car was here Wednesday and put up some cans of striped bass in the Santa Ana river.The bass were all of good size, some of them measuring nearly a foot in length. The fish car is well equipped for the work it is cut out for, and is provided with a steam engine which pumps water through the fish cans and keeps up a circulation necessary to keep the fish alive. A few striped bass were placed in the bay last year and later developments have shown that the work has borne fruit, as a number of small ones have been caught from the wharf. BROOKSHURST G. L. West had as guests for a few days last week I. O. Wilson and family of El Toro. Morris Smith was in Los Angeles on busineses Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Mason of Los Angeles spent Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Steinberger. Misses Anna Fulton and Rosa Judgment by default was today entered in favor of Joseph Holz against the Black Star Coal Corporation of California for the sum of $374.50 principal and interest on a promissory note given plaintiff to defendant. A foreclosure suit was begun in the Superior Court of this county by N. M. Shaulis against W. H. and Abbie Landreth. The note on which the action was brought is for $456.77 and was signed on March 19, 1908. A Los Angeles firm represents the plaintiff. Estimates of the probable bean crop of the county, based on investigation made by Supervisor G. W. Angle, who represents one of the best firms of buyers in the state show that the recent hot weather has caused considerable damage, which will possibly aggregate twenty-five per cent. of the total crop. According to Supervisor Angle's figures there will this year be 175,000 sacks of lima beans in the county and probably 30,000 sacks of blackeyes. Last year in the San Joaquin ranch there were raised 106,000 sacks of limas and 33,000 sacks of blackeyes. This year there will be more limas but less blackeyes grown on the San Joaquin ranch, but altogether there will probably be as many sacks in the aggregate as last year, as the crop before the damage by hot weather promised more than the average. The price is low, the figure offered so far being $3.75 for limas and $3.25 for blackeyes, for choice, re-cleaned beans.

S. Armstrong in Victoria R. Mayworth, formerly of this city, writes to the editor from Steveston B. C., an interesting letter, from which the following excerpts are taken: Steveston, B. C., Aug. 20. Editor Gazette.—I also enclose cutting from Vancouver Province, which explains itself and may be of interest. May state that your humble servant has charge of Mr. Steves' very fine horse ranch. I am taking about 12 head to the Seattle fair October 1st, where we expect to do ourselves proud. Vancouver is a hustling city of 100,000 and growing fast. Steveston is a salmon cannery town and pretty lively in the canning season. It is situated on the banks of the majestic Frazer river, the scene of many a stirring drama. Quite recently a wild "human interest" melodrama was enacted on its mighty bosom. Picture to yourself the scene. Thousands of fishing boats are out. Dead of night and the moon at the full. (Slow music.) Suddenly volces are raised in anger, and sounds of a bitter quarrel are heard. The sounds proceed from a boat in which two Greek fishermen are partners, and before the astonished eyes of that huge audience of fishermen, one of the Greeks, like John Silver, unscrewed his cork leg, and dealt the other a smashing, crashing blow, and milk. Mr. Steves is milking at the present time over thirty cows, the product of which is sent into Vancouver. Every cow being milked is given a thorough cleaning, udder washed, and stands each one on clean cement floors. Mr. Steves told me he had weighed the milk given by one young cow, which was 512 lbs in seven days. Mr. McCulloch also has a fine lot of dairy cows, he being one of the directors of the Richmond Dairy and Produce Company. As to the area and extent of some of the grain crops on the islands, I was shown a field of oats, on the 300-acre farm worked by Mr. McCulloch, that contained 100 acres of as fine a crop of oats as I ever saw and two other fields with 50 and 60 acres respectively. I was shown a field of hay where they were baling and getting a ready market at $15 per ton. A fine class of horses is noticeable on the islands, as well as in The Street Paving Company Closed the street in front of our Store, but remember we have an entrance on Chartres street, in the rear of our Store, between Los Angeles and Lemon streets.

FOREST RANGER EXAMINATION To Fill Many Vacancies on National Forests San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 24.—A examination to fill vacancies in the ranger force on all National Forests in District 5 will be held October 22 and 26. From this examination it is expected that 75 appointments will be made on National Forests in this District. The examination will be held at the headquarters of each National Forest in California at the following places: Alturas, Bishop, Hot Springs, Los Angeles, Northfork, Nevada City, Quincy, Red Bluff, San Diego, Salinas, Santa Barbara, Sisson, Sonora, Weaverville, Willows and Yreka. While the examination is entirely along practical lines, and knowledge of field conditions rather than box-learning is considered essential th Thousands of fishing boats are out.

The sounds proceed from a boat in which two Greek fishermen are partners, and before the astonished eyes of that huge audience of fishermen, one of the Greeks, like John Silver, unscrewed his cork leg, and dealt the other a smashing, crashing blow, and now is at Victoria, awaiting his trial for murder. Congratulate you on increased size and scope of the Gazette. I admire its honest independence. Read with interest the account of my erstwhile employer's rambles in Costa Rica. Like yourself and some of your readers, am rooting hard for the "Pirates," who are doing well, albeit those pesky "Cubs" will always be a source of danger. It is possible I will drop in on you before the year is out. While this is a fine country, it is strictly a cold one. Your sublime faith in continuing paper to a rover like myself is simply wonderful, and I hope, well merited. By the way, a friend of mine, who was sentenced to be hung, was asked by the chaplain, who was paying a farewell visit. Now, my dear friend and brother, have you any unfulfilled wish or desire to communicate before you go forth to die? Well, said he, I'd like to see Naples first. With best wishes and kind regards, I remain, yours truly, R. Mayworth. Mr. Mayworth encloses the following clipping from the Vancouver Province, written by our well-known fellow-townsman T. S. Armstrong: Editor Province.—Having attended the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific fair at Seattle and hearing so much of this "far west" country, I took advantage of the beautiful sail on the Princess Victoria to visit Vancouver and surroundings and to note the possibilities of a western city in comparison to our southern cities in California. To say that your city's growth and development outdoes anything we have in the "'sunny south" would be putting it mildly. No matter where we turn the tap of the hammer and the rasp of the saw is heard in erecting handsome residences, business blocks and so on until we find that the outlying district. The examination will be held at the headquarters of each National Forest in California at the following places: Alturas, Bishop, Hot Springs, Los Angeles, Northfork, Nevada City, Quincy, Red Bluff, San Diego, Salinas, Santa Barbara, Sisson, Sonora, Weaverville, Willows and Yreka. While the examination is entirely along practical lines, and knowledge of field conditions rather than book learning is considered essential, the opportunities for those applicants with educational advantages are considerably increased. The rapid development of the National Forests is making continually increasing demands upon those engaged in their management, and men with ability to assume responsibility and serve in supervisory capacities are in demand. These more responsible positions of National Forests are filled by promotion from lower grades, so that anyone entering as a ranger is eligible for promotion to any of the more responsible and higher paid places, including that of Forest Supervisor. Only those men who are at least 21 years of age, not more than 40, or good character, temperate, and if good physical condition, are eligible to take this examination. The salary paid to beginners is $900 a year. Applicants can secure information concerning the examination from the District Forester at San Francisco Forest Supervisors, or the United States Civil Service Commission Washington, D. C. HIGH CLASS SHOOTING The world's record for 200-yard was broken at Camp Perry by Private A. J. Doerman of the United States Marine Corps team. Doermann scored 98 in two strings of 49 each. Capt. James L. Fecht of the Ninth United States Cavalry won the Halt match by seventeen bulleyes. Private T. W. Marshall of the Marine Corps, Lieut. D. McDougall of the Marine Corps scored sixteen and thirteen bulleyes. Of the 106 competitors who attacked a 600-yard bull eye, fifteen inches wide, only eight failed to make a perfect score and they failed only by five points or less—a record for the Halt match. BUTTERMILK BENEFICIAL VICTORIA to visit Vancouver and surroundings and to note the possibilities of a western city in comparison to our southern cities in California. To say that your city’s growth and development outdoes anything we have in the "sunny south" would be putting it mildly. No matter where we turn the tap of the hammer and the rasp of the saw is heard in erecting handsome residences, business blocks and so on until we find that the outlying districts have to be taken in, new districts cleared up to meet the demand from new settlers coming from all parts of the east. It gave me great pleasure to meet an old friend of my younger days in Mr. James McCullough of Steveston, who kindly took me through some of the agricultural districts of Vancouver, namely, Sea, Westham and Lulu Islands, and the crops I saw growing and being harvested on these islands are away ahead of anything I have seen in the south or even in the east. To think that these lands will produce from four to five tons of hay to the acre and sell at $15 per ton year after year is beyond my comprehension. Then the dairy business, which is carried on extensively on the islands, is bound to forge ahead to supply the demands of the city, and if the sanitary conditions of all the dairies supplying the city of Vancouver with milk and cream are kept as clean as that of Joseph M. Steveson, whom we called on, then the city need fear no disease from using C. W. Almes et al to Stern & Goodman, lease of land at southwest corner of lot 10, block B, Kramer Tract. Five years. That Los Angeles county will soon establish a strict quarantine against the entrance of fruit from other sections unless outside counties enforce strict measures against all pests is stated in the annual report of the Los Angeles Horticultural commission filed yesterday by A. R. Meserve and Herbert Dingle. DISCOVERIES IN THE MOON. There was an old woman Who lived in the moon; She made a rice pudding, But cut it too soon. When she found 'twasn't done, She gave it a throw; It came to our planet And we called it "snow." When her little boy saw What his mother had done. He scowled and made faces That clouded the sun. He'd lost his dear pudding, And to wish was in vain; His tears fell in torrents, But we called them "rain." The Man in the Moon, who Had been off to town, Heard his little boy crying, Which caused him to frown. He gave him nice sweetmeats, And told him to dine; O, then there was smiling, We called it "moonshine." —Philadelphia Ledger.

Holman of Long Beach, who was formerly Miss Hershman of this city, filed a suit Lily of Pittsburgh, and is said to be in receipt of an income of $7000 a year. SECOND YEAR'S WORK Agricultural School at Davis Preparing for Increased Usefulness MRS. HOLMAN SEEKS DIVORCE Husband Was Cruel to Her, She Avers Mrs. Anna E. Holman of Long Beach, who was formerly Miss Hershman of this city, filed a suit for divorce on Saturday in the Los Angeles Superior Court against Guy W. Holman. Judge Wilbur issued an order to prevent the husband from touching any of his wife's property. Holman is a real estate man of Long Beach and Los Angeles. Mrs. Holman alleges that she was married in Anaheim in April, 1907, and ever since has been treated in a cruel and inhuman manner. June 19 last she states, her husband beat her, and since then he has appropriated $3500 of her money. She charges that he has called her "crazy" and a "dope fiend." In seeking the order to prevent Holman from disposing of her property, the wife said her husband has duplicate keys to deposit boxes in the All Day and Night Bank and the Commercial Bank of Los Angeles, in which there are said to be, besides deeds and other valuable documents, diamonds and jewelry worth $4000. Holman, who was served with the papers in the suit Saturday morning, denies the charges. He says his wife has been in very poor health, and that until recently he has taken care of her. He alleges he can prove she uses drugs. Mrs. Holman is a member of a wealthy family, and, it is said, has an income of $7000 a year. She has a brother, O. A. Hershman, in Pittsburgh, who is the editor of the Press of that city. Judge Wilbur of Los Angeles this week issued an order restraining Guy W. Holman, formerly a real estate dealer of this city and Long Beach, from interfering in any way with the property of his wife, Anna E. Holman, who has started an action for divorce. The wife owns real estate in Long Beach, Los Angeles and Fresno, and is possessed of valuable jewelry in safe deposit boxes in Los Angeles. Mrs. Holman owns her house in Long Beach, but since July 16th has been in the Long Beach sanitarium. The Holmans were married in lily of Pittsburgh, and is said to be in receipt of an income of $7000 a year. SECOND YEAR'S WORK Agricultural School at Davis Preparing for Increased Usefulness The School of Agriculture at Davis, which first opened for instruction in January of the present year, will begin its second term's work on September 20th. Several additions have been made to the teaching staff for the coming year. M. Roberts has been appointed Instructor in Farm Practice. He was graduated from Cornell in 1901; taught for a year in the National Farm School at Doylestown, Pa., and has been very successful in agricultural pursuits. Mr. L. M. Davis, Kansas State Agricultural College 1909, will be Instructor in Dairy Industry. Mr. A. J. Gaumnitz, B.S.A., Minnesota 1906, M. A. California 1906, has been for two years conducting investigations in Experimental Agronomy at the Farm. During the next year he will also be Instructor in Chemistry in the School of Agriculture. Other appointments are to be made. Miss Katharine Winans will be Matron of the School, and will have charge of the dormitory, and of the new dining-hall now being erected. The social life of the School centers around the dormitory, and thus the position of matron is a most important one. Miss Winans has ability, tact and experience, and will fill the place very successfully. Under present conditions, only boys can be received as students at the School of Agriculture. The dormitory will accommodate sixty students; rooms will be assigned in the order of application for them. Applicants for entrance to the School should have completed the work of the eighth grade in the public schools, and should be at least fifteen years of age. The course of study is for three years of eight months each. It gives practical training in up-to-date scientific methods of agriculture; a large proportion of the instruction is in field and laboratory. To supply further information about the School, a circular has been prepared, and will be sent upon application to the Principal at Davis. MARSHAL OF THE MARINE STATUTE. D.

Mrs. Holman owns her house in Long Beach, but since July 16th has been in the Long Beach sanitarium. The Holmans were married in 1907, and in her complaint she alleges that he has treated her in a cruel and inhuman manner, but that she trusted to his honesty until June 19 last, when she says he beat her, and since then the petition states, he has misappropriated $3500 of her money. She charges that he has called her crazy, a dope fiend, and a user of drugs to excess. Holman has a defense, and he alleges that his wife has been in poor health and that until recently he has taken care of her. He asserts that he can easily prove that she is addicted to the use of drugs. Mrs. Holman's property, according to her own statement, includes an eighty-acre farm in Fresno county, with buildings worth $500, with horses, mules and implements, near Raisin City, and property in Long Beach and Los Angeles. In safety deposit boxes are said to be besides deeds and other valuable property, a lot of diamonds. To these boxes Holman has the key, hence the restraining order.
