MUST HAVE FRANCHISE Telephone Company Get Peremptory Orders at Santa Ana City Attorney Heathman of Santa Ana made legal demand on the Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph Co., that it proceed to take steps to take out a franchise in Santa Ana. The telephone company has operated without a franchise, but now that the supreme court has ruled that the company is not immune from franchise taxes by municipalities, demand is made that it do the thing the company has persistently refused to do. The demand was served on Local Manager Morrow and will be referred by him to headquarters. The demand was worded as follows: Gentlemen: At a regular meeting of the board of trustees of the city of Santa Ana, Cal., held on the 4th day of December, 1911, I was instructed by said board to make upon you the following demand: That since the supreme court of the state of California has refused a rehearing of the Pasadena case, and has affirmed by its decision the power of municipalities to exact franchise and enforce its regulations upon the streets, lanes and alleys of said municipalities in regard to public utility corporations having poles and wires on said streets, the board of trustees has instructed me to demand from you that you take the legal steps required under the franchise law of the state of California to acquire a franchise of your company in the city of Santa Ana, to carry on a telephone business with the right to maintain poles and string wires on said streets under conditions and restrictions that will be granted by the board of trustees to your company in an ordinance to be duly passed, approved and published as required by law.

Robert Athey, a student of the University of California, son of a Wisconsin lawyer, received the greatest shock of his career one day last week, when Justice Cox of Santa Ana sent him to jail for ninety days, which added to the thirty the young man has already served will give him 120 days' experience in sociological studies as furnished by the Orange County jail. Athey was arrested for defacing placards on freight cars. He declared he was a lecturer for the I. W. W. and the advice that he was writing upon the placards was along the line of the doctrine of that organization. He pleaded guilty to vagrancy, and was sent to jail for thirty days. Though he could talk a lot, Athey was not much good at actual work. He was taken out on the chain gang of prisoners that is being used to clean streets. He ran away, and gave the officers a merry chase before he was finally captured near Bolsa. On Wednesday Athey's time under the thirty day sentence was up and Jailor Boynton swore to a complaint charging Athey with breaking away. Athey was brought into court. He pleaded not guilty to the charge, and Justice Cox had put Constable Squires on oath to testify when Athey quickly changed his plea to guilty. "I want to get back to the University of California by the first of the year," said Athey. "I took a year's work there in pathology, and I want to continue my studies." "What were you doing down here?" asked Cox. "I had to lay off one semester because the courses I wanted were not being given."

The siphon at the upper end of the right-of-way must be at least two feet beneath the bottom of the channel. Concrete arches must be used where the pipeline crosses Ditch No. 1 of the Talbert Drainage District. The sugar company may use the pipeline for water and sewage.

"The decision holding the Alaskan claims to be fraudulent supports the contention I made when the department of the interior attempted to patent them," he said today.
