SANTA ANA C. F. Krauss, manager of the big Irvine ranch, Miss Kathryn Irvine, daughter of James Irvine, owner of the ranch, and Miss Louise Jerome, whose home is with the Irvines, were thrown from a surrey. Krauss' knee was badly wrenched and he will be laid up for some time. One eye and one hip were severely bruised. Miss Jerome received a painful injury to her left elbow. Miss Irvine was but slightly bruised. The accident occurred on Main street. The horse shied and jumped out of the road. Krauss pulled him back too short and the surrey was overturned. Mrs. Eva M. Parker, who has sworn to a complaint charging her husband, Charles H. Parker, with desertion and failure to provide, has applied to the county for an allowance to care for her child, aged 7 years. Parker was collector for the Edison Electric Company and disappeared a few weeks ago. Three hundred dollars of the company's funds vanished at the same time. The Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county are preparing to entertain an excursion of members of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce on August 31.

The board of directors of the Southern California Sugar Company organized by electing James McFadden vice-president and Gen. F. H. Case secretary and treasurer. James Irvine had previously been elected as president. LAGUNA BEACH The big freight auto just arrived for Trefern and Warling for Laguna Beach business is giving satisfaction in every way and the demonstrator, Fred Nelson, has taken his departure. The auto was taken on a trip to Anaheim, making the journey in one hour and three-quarters, with Trefern at the wheel. Seats were improvised on the big truck, those in the party being Mrs. Fred Trefern, Ernest Trefern, Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Dungan, Bertha Thoemke, Ella Brunworth, Mr. and Mrs. Dietrich, Clara Baum, Tom Fullerton, Caroline Yoch, Lucile Shari Paula Chemnitzer, Mr. and Mrs.Coulter, Miss Aust and Miss Rinker. The automobileists are doing a rush business these days, being loaded with passengers both ways. Mr. Greaves, assistant city editor of the Times, returned to Los Angeles after a two weeks' sojourn at the beach. His wife, her mother and the children remain at Laguna. Miss Aust and Miss Rinker returned to their homes in Anaheim after spending two weeks here. FULLERTON Walter E. Davis, a popular young man of Santa Paula, has a marriage license that he would sell at a big discount for cash. The license was issued in Los Angeles about a week ago for Davis and Miss Bessie M. D. King of Glendale. The young man rented a handsomely furnished residence in Fullerton and went to Los Angeles one evening last week to be married. He had purchased a valuable ring and had an official on hand to perform the ceremony but the lady failed to keep her end of the agreement for the evening, to the disappointment of all present. A day or two after the ceremony was to have taken place, Mr. Davis received a telegram from Miss King who was far... hour's ride on the bay will be given. From Santa Ana automobiles will be taken to Tustin, Hewes Hill, Orange, Placentia, Fullerton, Anaheim and Garden Grove, where the electric cars will be taken for Los Angeles. The board of directors of the Southern California Sugar Company organized by electing James McFadden vice-president and Gen. F. H. Case secretary and treasurer. James Irvine had previously been elected as president. C. Venable, a Cypress dairyman, was taken to the Santa Ana justice court on Monday, charged with disturbing the peace. He pleaded guilty and paid a fine of five dollars. The complaining witness was S. H. Druce, a deputy dairy inspector, who lives in Anaheim, and has his commission from the Los Angeles Health Department. Details of the case are said to be that Venable was at Cypress station shipping milk to Los Angeles and was in the act of filling one can from another when Druce stopped him and told him that was against the law and would result in his milk being condemned by the Los Angeles authorities. Venable is said to have resented Druce's interference with his business and forthwith is said to have cursed Druce. Druce thereupon swore to the complaint. THE OIL WELLS There is more development under way today on the various leases of also heavier than at any time here-in the history of the industry in this country and the monthly output is also heavier than any time herefore. Hundreds of people are employed. The fact that oil has recently been struck on the Bastanchury ranch, it is believed, will mean the extending of the field southward from the hills now lined with derricks. There is a demand for oil land, but there is little if any to be had at the present time. The Hualde ranch, which adjoins the Bastanchury, has recently been leased for twenty years for oil development, and it is expected work will begin in the near future. Only a few miles east of this property the Graham-Loftus Oil Company will drill the first well on its new lease in La Habra valley, just north of Placentia. If oil is tapped there, it will mean another extension. The Graham-Loftus Company has great faith in King of Glendale. The young man rented a handsomely furnished residence in Fullerton and went to Los Angeles one evening last week to be married. He had purchased a valuable ring and had an official on hand to perform the ceremony but the lady failed to keep her end of the agreement for the evening, to the disappointment of all present. A day or two after the ceremony was to have taken place, Mr. Davis received a telegram from Miss King, who was far down the line toward San Diego. It is understood that she wired him to meet her in Santa Ana on Saturday. Davis went to that city and Miss King again failed to show up. Mr. Davis returned to Fullerton that night and made a further reduction on the price of his marriage license but up to the present has found no one who can use it. A Santa Paula paper published a long account of the marriage, giving full details, telling how the ceremony was performed, who was present and all that sort of thing and it makes good reading matter but the people of Santa Paula will be surprised when they read the true story. The bridegroom-to-have-been is a son of former Supervisor Davis of Santa Paula, one of the best known residents of Ventura county. The young man has been in Fullerton several weeks, having accepted a position with a firm here in which his father is interested. The order for the residence has been cancelled by Mr. Davis, who says he will not rent a home again until the ceremony has been performed and he has returned from the honeymoon. The young man is still holding his position and does not seem to lose much sleep over the fact that Miss King failed to keep her promise. After Mr. Davis and Miss King went to the courthouse in Los Angeles to get the license they parted at Spring and Fifth streets and that was the last meeting between the two young people. It is stated that the Pacific Electric Railway will extend its road twelve miles from La Habra valley, eastward through the valley and to a point up the Santa Ana river. The first twelve miles of the road was completed last year, it going now to a point below the mouth of Brea Canyon. The new road will pass just north of Placentia, running south of the Olinda oil fields and on to Yorba. It is stated that the twelve miles will take it to a point up the Santa Ana River where one of the best growers were there.

SCHOOL OF Exhibits Made Sacc Among the new State Fair just by the University of Agriculture at tutions are of su that one is surp interesting exhibi work now actual at the present ti on a young graft rootstock. Only support of the f could have made development in The Hualde ranch, which adjoins the Bastanchury, has recently been leased for twenty years for oil development, and it is expected work will begin in the near future. Only a few miles east of this property the Graham-Loftus Oil Company will drill the first well on its new lease in La Habra valley, just north of Placentia. If oil is tapped there, it will mean another extension. The Graham-Loftus Company has great faith in that part of the valley and will expend thousands of dollars prospecting there. There are 180 wells on the pump in the oil district twenty-four hours a day, which is an increase of fifteen over a year ago. A large part of the product is of the higher grade, selling at $1.05 and $1.10 a barrel, while the small portion of the lower gravity oil sells for 65 and 75 cents. This gives a good average price for the total output and means a big source of income to the owners. Thirty-five new wells are being drilled on the various leases, as follows: Santa Fe Railway 4, Graham-Loftus 5, Columbia Oil 3, Fullerton Consolidated 5, Union 6, Brea Canyon 2, Fullerton (in Brea canyon) 1, Orange 1, Pico 1, Olinda 1, Puente 2, Syndicate 1, Whittier-Des Moines(Coyotes) 1, Murphy 2; total 35. A large barn, 200 tons of hay, harness, and a $300 road wagon were destroyed by fire on the lease of the Union Oil Company, a mile east of Brea Canyon Monday morning. Several horses, two belonging to the Union, four to P. Nicolas, and the other to James Boswell, were burned to death in the barn. The cause of the fire is unknown. The flames burst forth as if there had been an explosion. tric Railway will extend its road twelve miles from La Habra valley, eastward through the valley and to a point up the Santa Ana river. The first twelve miles of the road was completed last year, it going now to a point below the mouth of Brea Canyon. The new road will pass just north of Placentia, running south of the Olinda oil fields and on to Yorba. It is stated that the twelve miles will take it to a point up the Santa Ana River where one of the best gravel beds in Southern California has been located. The company is anxious to reach this gravel bed as hundreds of carloads of this road material are needed on the company's other lines. ORANGE "Not guilty," was the verdict brought in by the jury in the case of Wm. Kogler vs. the City of Orange. The charge, the violation of a city ordinance by blockading the sidewalk, was not established, and the jury returned the verdict after being out about an hour. Chas. Messenger and J. E. Malles were called as witnesses by the city and the defense called no one. The testimony was to the effect that the defendant had allowed his wagon to stand across the sidewalk near the Pixley warehouse on North Olive street, to the inconvenience of passers-by. Attorney Williams, for the defendant, argued that the city ordinance under which the allegation was made, was invalid, being in conflict with a State law.

BOOZE AT STATE FAIR Barmaids Serving Free Wines Are Popular Sacramento, Aug. 30.—This was Women's Christian Temperance Union Day at the fair and the rival booths of the water wagon and the wine growers were the center of activity. The white ribboners served many visitors with ice water and tea, but the booths below, where the four "pretty barmaids" held forth, seemed to be quite as popular. More than 2000 persons have been served with free wine since the opening of the fair. At this rate, with the larger crowds which are sure to attend later in the week at least 10,000 will have visited the wine booth and partaken of its hospitality.

PLAINTIFF GETS DECISION Wins Point in Damage Case Against Edison Company In the United States District Court in Los Angeles, the demurrer to the special defense of the defendant in the case of Harvey Miller vs. Edison Electric Company was sustained, and gives first blood to plaintiff in the fight to recover damages for death of his son, Clarence Harry Miller, who was killed on June 19, 1906, by coming in contact with an electric wire while working at his father's pumping plant at Garden Grove. In the answer to the complaint, defendant made the special defense that a clause in the contract with Miller held the company blameless in case of death or damage caused by apparatus installed by the company for the transmission of electrical energy to operate the pumping plant. Judge F. O. Daniel, who represents the plaintiff, demurred on the ground that such a contract was not good in law and the court evidently saw the matter in the same light, as the demurrer was sustained. Miller is suing for $10,230. ARTICLES FILED Articles of incorporation were filed with the County Clerk on Tuesday by the Southern California Edison Company, with capital stock of thirty million dollars, nine thousand of which is actually subscribed. Directors are S. M. Kennedy of Alhambra, O. P. Schoonmaker, J. A. Lighthipe, E. W. Sax, A. A. Maxwell, William Dieterle, A. E. Murphy, John Otto, all of Los Angeles and F. W. Balfour of Pomona. The thirty million dollar capital stock is divided into 300,000 shares of the par value of $100 each. Four mil- BUILDING HOUSES Home Investment Company Putting Up Residences The Home Investment Company commenced the erection of a residence on Palm street this week. The company now owns a very desirable residence tract in this city and is in a position financially to build homes on the easy payment plan, which will fill a long felt want in this community. Mr. Olmstead is to be congratulated in securing the services of Mr. Slatman who has been contracting and building on a large scale in Buffalo, New York. He has built several Catholic churches and schools in and around Buffalo, on which he has been highly complimented by the church. He expects to build a home and locate permanently in this city. The Home Investment Co. is just completing a residence for Dr. Hall in Fullerton, and contemplates the erection of several houses within the next few months in Anaheim and Fullerton. They are now receiving the support of all live business men and investors in this community. DEFENDANTS FILE ANSWER Defendants' answer to the complaint has been filed in the Superior Court in the case of Ed Reinert vs. Braman Loveless and George W. Railey, as well as a general demurrer to the complaint. This is the suit brought by plaintiff Reinert to have declared void the deal by which defendants secured possession of his twenty-acre ranch at Cypress and as a middle man in which C. N. Gary was accused of cheating Reinert and was shot by the latter last March. BALBOA State Fair just held was one made by the University Farm and School of Agriculture at Davis. These institutions are of such recent growth that one is surprised to see such an interesting exhibit illustrative of the work now actually being done there at the present time: like early fruit on a young graft, it indicates a good rootstock. Only the interest and support of the farmers of the State could have made possible such rapid development in an institution exclusively their own. The exhibit was not designed to include illustrations of all branches of work being done on the Farm; the space allotted for the exhibit was too limited to permit it. Indeed, only three branches were included—soil fertility and fertilizers, dairying and veterinary science. In the first, samples of different crops containing a given amount of a certain plant food were displayed, and beside them the amount of fertilizer needed to replace the food in the soil. For example, 125 pounds of sugar beets and 31-8 pounds of barley straw contain the same amount of potassium, which may be replaced by applying less than 2 1/2 ounces of potassium chloride. The veterinary science exhibit was devoted to tuberculosis in cattle and swine; its effects, and methods of control. A set of veterinary instruments, disinfectants and remedies for farm use were also displayed. The dairy exhibit consisted largely of up-to-date apparatus, charts, etc. Sacramento, Aug. 28.—Land owners along the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers are meeting this afternoon at Rio Vista to discuss a project for widening the rivers by moving the levees back, in the hope of preventing further damage by floods.

BALBOA William Richards was arrested by Mr. Bulger, United States inspector of hulls and boilers, for a failure to live up to the requirements, with reference to whistles, foghorns and light on his launch.

He is requesting each person to send in, during the week, the name of their favorite hymn; a committee will select ten of the old fashioned, heart stirring hymns, and they will be sung by the congregation during the evening. HEAVY RAIN AT RIVERSIDE Riverside, Aug. 30.—A fall of rain amounting almost to a cloudburst, accompanied by a wind velocity of 50 miles an hour, occurred here at 12:30 today. Inside of 20 minutes.41 of an inch of rain fell. Lightning and thunder accompanied the downpour. Considerable damage was done in this city, trees being uprooted and streets flooded. Such a violent storm at this season is almost unprecedented. EIGHT CENTS FOR 'COTS Apricot growers who had the backbone to hold for the price they thought conditions warranted, are now being offered 8 cents for their dried cots. Some who sold early in the season received only 7 cents and all who sold prior to three or four days ago received between that figure and 7 5-8c. per pound. Some growers are selling at 8 cents, which buyers have been offering for the past three or four days, but there are others who believe the product is worth more and are holding for 10 cents. "Cold feet" is rather a bad and expensive disease for farmers to take when they have a good crop and market conditions warrant topnotch prices. SAVINGS BANK ANAHEIM Money to Loan On Real Estate
