A DAGGER IN HIS HEART Tim Monterolla Meets Death at the Hands of Cholo Adolph Rimpau on Sunday evening at 6:45 received a telephone message from his brother Frank, who lives in Los Angeles, that Tim Monterolla, who was employed on the Rimpau ranch west of that city, had been stabbed and instantly killed by a cholo at the Hotel Italia, in Los Angeles, at 6 o'clock that evening. Mr. Rimpau went to Los Angeles on Monday morning. He learned the name of the murderer was Aniceto Fuentez, and that the killing was unprovoked. From him we gather the following account of the murder: Monterolla was with a few friends in the cafe of the Hotel d'Italia, No. 651 San Fernando street. The young men were in a merry mood. Seeing Fuentez standing gloomily in a corner, Monterolla suggested that the crowd buy him a drink, a proposition which was turned down by the other members of the party on the ground that they knew nothing of the stranger. A little later Monterola was standing with his arms folded, talking with his friends, and all had forgotten the presence of Fuentez until he stepped quietly to a position immediately in front of Monterola. In another second, and without a word, he raised his arm as high as he could, and before his purpose was realized he brought his knife down with all his might, sinking the three-inch, blade into Monterola's heart. As Monterola sank lifeless to the floor, his companions pounced upon the murderer, who clung to his knife and fought savagely. He was forced to the floor and was disarmed by Dan Cornacy, a railroad man. The body of Monterola was sent LEMON RATE INCREASE Growers Will Put Up Stiff Fight Against Railroad Grab A. G. Kendall, secretary of the Citrus Protective League, this week outlined a fight that is to be made against trans-continental roads to prevent the increase of the freight rates on lemons from $1 to $1.15 per hundred. Resolutions have been sent to all lemon associations affiliated with the league, lining them up for the contest, which will be the most strenuous ever waged in behalf of fruit-growing interests. A protest will be filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission and an appeal for an injunction will be made to the federal court. This requires a large bond and to protect the sureties, the Protective League is securing agreements from lemon growers that in case an injunction is granted, they will pay the roads the dollar freight charges and deposit 15 cents per hundred with the league, thus providing a fund to cover damages if the case should finally go against the growers. If the latter win, deposits are to be returned. Secretary Kendall says the growers are sending in agreements rapidly and that they are greatly encouraged by the attitude taken by Senator Flint and Congressmen Smith and Needham. They feel sure of the influence of a solid congressional delegation behind them in their contest with the trans-continental lines.

He was forced to the floor and was disarmed by Dan Cornacy, a railroad man. The body of Monterola was sent to the receiving hospital and later to an undertaking establishment. Fuentez, securely handcuffed, was bundled into the wagon beside the corpse. Only once on the trip to the station did he manifest any interest in the condition of the man he had stabbed. This was when the officer was endeavoring to learn if Monterola still lived. "How is he?" asked Fuentez coolly. "I think he's dead," replied the officer. Fuentez made no comment. His examination by the detectives at headquarters finished Fuentez was forced to wait at the door of the jail while the body of his victim was carried from the receiving hospital to the morgue. The prisoner looked calmly at the willow basket, then looked up at a newspaper man standing near him and smiled. Fuentez repeatedly admitted having done the stabbing. He said he was punched on the chin by Monterola, but this is denied by witnesses of the affair. Monterola's body was brought here on Tuesday for interment. ANAHEIM-FULLERTON REALTY DEALS The Williams Bros. Co. through its Anaheim office has just closed the following realty transactions: The 34-acre ranch about three miles southwest of Anaheim, known as the Tanglewood ranch, Fred Jenson being the owner, the purchaser being John F. Roe, a recent arrival from Pennsylvania, the consideration being $18,000 cash. This property has fine improvements, having one of the finest pumping plants in Orange county. About half of the acreage is in alfalfa, and Mr. Roe, the new owner, will immediately arrange for the planting of ten acres of Valencia oranges. The 20-acre orange and walnut grove of Walter Wuesthoff, located about one and one-half miles east of Fullerton eleven acres being set to FOREST FIRE DESTRUCTION Last Year Memorable for Extent and Character of Losses Forest fires are causing considerable damage in many parts of the country at present. It will be several months before the total destruction is known, for the fire season has considerable time to run. In figuring out this year's losses, it will be natural to make comparison with losses for last year which, according to Treadwell Cleveland, Jr., in the Year Book of the Department of Agriculture, will cause 1908 to be long remembered. "A dry season, combined with what seemed to be even more than the usual indifference toward small fires which might easily have been extinguished at the start," says Mr.Cleveland, "caused destructive conflagrations in practically every state, with losses aggregating $100,000,000. In comparison with the havoc wrought elsewhere, the damage done to Nation al Forests was exceedingly slight.Had fires raged within the forests as they did outside, they would have destroyed timber worth $30,000,000—enough to run the forest service for six years. Moreover, it is practically certain that most if not all of the damage which was done might have been prevented had the forests been fully manned." PLACENTIA About twenty of Placentia's young people enjoyed an out-door party on Saturday evening in the schoolyard. The large pepper trees were decorated with Japanese lanterns. The brisk chilliness of the night was relieved by a log fire. The evening was spent in toasting marshmellows and playing good old-fashioned games. Several of the boys entertained with vaudeville sketches. The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Vincent got hold of a cup containing about a teaspoonful of coal oil. The little child drank it but became strangled and as a result the oil went into the lungs. He is now out of danger. W. A. Phillips and family expect to move to Orange soon.

The 20-acre orange and walnut grove of Walter Wuesthoff, located about one and one-half miles east of Fullerton, eleven acres being set to three year old Valencias, nine acres to twelve year old walnuts. The purchaser is Louis H. Vogel, a newcomer from Pittsburg. Mr. Vogel is arranging to further improve the property, as he intends to make it his permanent home. The price paid was $17,-500 cash. The 20-acre improved ranch of J. A. Thorpe, located about one mile east of Anaheim, has been bought by Mrs. Belle Clemens of Santa Ana consideration being $14,000. One-half of this property is set to four year old oranges.

The society wishes to know where are the three largest eucalyptus trees in the state, for it is interested in their preservation for the purpose of observing, scientifically, their growth for a period of fifty years to obtain valuable data concerning their adaptability as a means of commercial reforestation of California; and to further this end, the organization wishes to receive at its headquarters 1601 Delta building, Los Angeles, reports of measurements made of eucalyptus trees in any part of the state. The society will take steps to have these trees preserved, the ground on which they stand purchased if possible, and strong effort will be made to have the trees maintained by the State. In Australia, the eucalyptus rivals our own Sequoia in height. It is possible that there are some in California as high and it would be of advantage to the state to preserve them as natural wonders. The following data signed by the owner of the tree must be given: Species, when planted, where, height, diameter, and whether first or second growth. GARDEN GROVE Shipping at Garden Grove is increasing very materially. At present there SHERWOOD LOSES OUT Sold Two Horses Which Died Of Glanders G. W. Sherwood of Fullerton sold two horses to A. R. Marsom of Buena Park, guaranteeing them sound in limb and wind. Inside of two weeks both horses died of glanders, and Marsom refused to pay $85 remaining due. Sherwood sued to collect it. Marsom put in a cross-complaint asking that the note be declared void, that he be given $25 to cover a veterinary surgeon's bill and burial expenses and $50 for loss because he could not use the horses for the purposes he bought them. Marsom asserted that the animals were not sound, that they had glanders and that both died from that disease. Sherwood won in the justice court, and Marsom took an appeal. The jury brought in a verdict in favor of Marsom in the sum of $10, with costs taxed against Sherwood in the amount of $50. Sheriff Lacy has appointed two game wardens on the Lomita gun club preserve as his deputies. Their appointments were filed with the county clerk this week. The names of the deputies are James Carkins and William La Forge. The men are gun club employees and draw no pay from the sheriff or county. FIGHT FOR DIRECTORS Santa Ana Water Company Has Spirited Contest The stockholders of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company are split into factions over the policy of the present board of directors. Five directors are to be elected at Orange on Oct. 5 and two tickets have been OUR NATURAL RESOURCES Practice of Forestry Important Issue In National Development [Contributed to The Gazette.] "A very few years ago forest conservation was little more than a phrase; today it is a vital issue in our national development," says Treadwell Cleveland, Jr., in a circular on the status of forestry in this country, which has just been issued by the United States Forest Service. "In connection with the general plan to conserve all natural resources, it is the most important and far-reaching economic policy ever adopted and pursued by any nation. "The forest is one of the chief supports of the whole material fabric of our civilization. The forest means not only a permanent supply of wood and the life of all the industries depending on it, but also the control of the waters for human use. There is only barrenness in the future of the nation which has lost the use of wood and the control of water. "The sort of use that was made of natural resources during the pioneering stage, while right enough at the time, is far too wasteful to be carried on into the new industrial era. In order to know how to use a thing, however, it is necessary first to find out how much of it there is to use, and taking stock of our forest resources has led to startling results." "It has shown that we are still destroying the forest as we use it; that we are taking from it every year three and a half times as much wood as is added by the new growth. It has shown that less than one-third of the growing tree felled by the lumberman is ever used at all, so that two-thirds of all the timber cut is simply destroyed. It has shown that one-eleventh of all the forests are swept by fires every year." GARDEN GROVE Shipping at Garden Grove is increasing very materially. At present there are five cars of freight daily and on Monday seven, as follows: Three beets, one of chiles, one of miscellaneous products and two of hay. So the station is a very busy one. This does not include the eggs that are sent by express daily, the heaviest shipment being on Friday. School will be dismissed on Friday, Oct. 1, during the Carnival, but all of the scholars will be expected to be at school today. PROPERTY CHANGING HANDS Long List of Realty Deals Reported This Week William Gregg of Orange has purchased from Resh & Company, twenty-five acres, unimproved, near town for $4000 and will set the tract to late oranges. John Suchy has sold ten acres, unimproved, east of town to W. M. Mitchell for $4500. John Berg has sold his ten acres, improved, east of town, to a newcomer from the East for $5000. RECEPTION TO MR. AND MRS. MITCHELL Rev. and Mrs. Mitchell were tendered a delightful reception at the Presbyterian church Wednesday evening last. Rev. and Mrs. Hopkins and Rev Bailey of Fullerton were special guests. The church was prettily decorated with pink carnations, pink amaryllis and ferns for the occasion, which was a welcome from the various organizations of the church to its pastor and his bride, the latter well known here as Miss Daisy Swerd feger. After a program of choice music, orange ice and cake were served. The bride and groom were then presented with a purse containing $80 in gold, a wedding gift from the church and its various activities. In addition to this substantial gift two FIGHT FOR DIRECTORS Santa Ana Water Company Has Spirited Contest The stockholders of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company are split into factions over the policy of the present board of directors. Five directors are to be elected at Orange on Oct. 5 and two tickets have been placed in the field. The contest promises to be an exceptionally strenuous one. The present board declares that the thing to do is to buy the Bixby holdings in the Santa Ana river and develop water on them. Its opponents believe it would be best to revise the old bylaws of the company and develop water by a series of pumping plants along the lower river. The opponents have nominated for directors L. E. Smith of Orange, Henry Gruenenwald of Olive, Coleman Travis of El Modena, E. M. Nealley of Tustin and N. H. Leanard of Santa Ana. No opponent of Nealley will be named. The friend of the present board have named A. G. Finley of El Modena and Fred Bohrs of Santa Ana, both members of the present board. THE AUTOMOBILE INVASION Perhaps, in ten or twenty years from now, the Age of the Airship will have arrived, but that the present is the Age of the Automobile can not be doubted. The automobile came by leaps and bounds; an experiment one day, the next day it was an established institution. At the beginning of 1895, or less than fifteen years ago, there were but seventy automobiles in the United States, and these were valued at $157,500, or $2250 apiece. In 1904, scarcely ten years later 20,000 machines were constructed and sold at an average of $2200 apiece—not much of a decrease in cost, but a mighty increase in number. Just four years later, in 1908, 55,000 were built and sold, while the output during this year is placed at 82,000, at an average price of $1-250, a great increase in number which is hardly offset by a notable decrease in price. It is estimated that 200,000 machines will be manufactured next year at an average of $1200. When these have been built and sold, it is claimed that one person in every 250—or say, one family ces has led to startling results. "It has shown that we are still destroying the forest as we use it; that we are taking from it every year three and a half times as much wood as is added by the new growth. It has shown that less than one-third of the growing tree felled by the lumberman is ever used at all, so that two-thirds of all the timber cut is simply destroyed. It has shown that one-eleventh of all the forests are swept by fires every year, and that on the average since 1870 forest fires have yearly cost $50,000,000 in timber and fifty lives. It has shown that over ninety-nine per cent of the forest in private hands—which comprise three-fourths of all the forest land and four-fifths of all the wood—is thus devastated by destructive use and the scourge of unchecked fires, while less than one per cent is properly handled for successive crops or effectively protected from fire. The forest as a resource is rapidly being obliterated." "But the inventory of the forests has had yet other ugly facts to reveal. With the disappearance and deterioration of the mountain forests the Nation is losing control of the streams, which are useful in our civilization in ways and degrees unparalleled by any other resource. Pure water for domestic purposes is, of course, indispensable; usable water at the right seasons is the sole reliance of the great projects by which the arid lands are vivified by irrigation; cheap water transportation is a matter of dollars and cents to every citizen; trustworthy power streams are the key to the age of electricity, at the gates of which modern industry is standing. Yet the guardian of the waters is steadily compelled to retreat before the ax and fire." "In waste alone we reject more than two-thirds of the lumber that might be taken from the standing trees. At least half of this waste is unnecessary. In the first place, we waste the forest by refusing to take advantage of its full capacity for growth. Protected and properly managed, our forests will produce far more wood than they do at present. But while it is wasteful to cripple the forest by a violent lumbering which destroys young growth—the promise of the future forest—it is doubly wasteful to lock up the forest and let the ripe timber die and decay, for in the former case the forest at least contributes a temporary MUST SUPPORT HIS CHILDREN The father of Milton and Helen Kelsea of this city must pay their mother, his wife, the sum of $10 per month for the support of the children. This was the order of Judge West in the juvenile court on Saturday when the application of Deputy District Attorney Finley that the children be declared dependent children came up for hearing. The mother, Mrs. Sarah Kelsea, lives here with the children, and is in circumstances that made her and the children objects of charity. The father lives in Los Angeles, and he has refused to care for the children or give anything for their support. He must now pay $10 a month, show cause why he cannot or be fined for contempt. GLUED THE SIXPENSE TO THE PLATE A newly appointed Scotch minister on his first Sunday of office had reason to complain of the poorness of the collection. "Mon," replied one of the elders, "they are close—vera close But," confidentially, "the auid meenister he put three or four saxpense into the plate hissel', just to gie them a start. Of course he took the saxpense awa' with him afterward." The new minister tried the same plan but the next Sunday he again had to report a dismal failure. The total collection was not only small, but he was grieved to find that his own six-pences were missing. "Ye may be a better preacher than the auid meenister," exclaimed the elder, "but if ye had half the knowledge o' he world, an' o' yer ain flock in particular, yed ha' done what he did and glued the saxpenses to the plate." Sheriff Lacy has sent out cards giving a description of Rosario Sainz, the Mexican wanted for the murder of Jose Machado at Carrisosa's sheep camp near Bay City last week. The description is as follows: Mexican 31 years old, 5 feet 10 or 11 inches tall, weight 165 or 170 pounds, medium complexion, black hair and moustache blue eyes, slim face.
