BASE BALL SUNDAY'S GAME A GOOD ONE Home Team Loses to Visitors by a Score of 4 to 0 While the local team lost Sunday's game the members individually and collectively showed such a remarkable reversal of form that all has been forgiven and an effort will be made to also forget the many boneheaded plays that have been pulled off the past two or three months. With long Al Mensenkamp pitching one of his good games the team behind him, with one or two exceptions, was up and doing at all times. The San Pedro team was the attraction Sunday and clinched its hold on the pennant by winning over the locals. The visitors were a fast bunch and while they were able to do little with Mensenkamp's pitching, they made every hit count when they did connect with the ball. The loss of the game by Anaheim was not so bad considering the fact that it probably cost Mueller's pet team, the Los Angeles Athletics, the pennant. In the third inning the visitors scored twice on two hits, an error in the outfield and a wild throw and two more in the eighth on about the same kind of a combination. In the sixth inning Anaheim had three men on bases with none out and chances looked promising for a run or two, but the next three batters in a row were easy outs. The local's infield is playing a pretty good game at present, there being only one misplay made by the inner guard Sunday. The outfield, however, is rather weak in spots. Mensenkamp struck out nine men, the season. The local management has been handicapped by a shortage of funds and could not strengthen the locals as was done by every other team in the league. Anaheim was also given the worst of it by the umpires on two or three occasions. Especially was this the case when the Athletics made their only visit here accompanied by their manager, secretary-treasurer-press-agent Mueller of the Southern State League, who was an eye witness to the rotten, thieving decisions of Umpire Abbott. Yes, everybody's glad the league season is ended. STATE HIGHWAY Commission Orders Survey started in Orange County—Hot Meeting in Los Angeles—Riverside wants the Road to San Diego—Orange County Route Shortest by 43 Miles By A. A. MILLS The State Highway Commission has ordered surveying to begin for the new state road. For division 7 are included the following: "The main road of Ventura county, near Punta Gorda and extending to Ventura; thence to Cahuenga Pass; also a line passing through El Rio and Oxnard; also the main Orange county road below San Juan Capistrano via Oceanside, Carlsbad, Encinitas to San Diego; also a possible line beginning near Saugus in Los Angeles county via Castaic Canyon to Goose Lake." This looks good for Orange county, but why the survey should begin at San Juan Capistrano and extend south is beyond the comprehension of a layman.

This looks good for Orange county, but why the survey should begin at San Juan Capistrano and extend south is beyond the comprehension of a layman. Los Angeles Highway Meeting On Thursday last at Los Angeles there was a wild meeting of delegates for a Banning-Brawley-Yuma state highway to connect up or be part of the ocean to ocean highway. After a fierce fight on credentials, in which a "packed meeting" was bandied back and forth, all towns were allowed three delegates, making all told. The "Foothill boulevard crowd" wanted all whose invitations read—"Please keep off the grass," excluded, but there was nothing doing. Foothill Boulevard to the Boneyard That famous corkscrew foothill boulevard route got an early knockout blow by the adoption of the following: "Resolved, That this convention recommend to the State Highway Commission that a State road be built from Los Angeles to the county seat of Imperial county along the route adopted by the Phoenix convention by way of Beaumont, Banling, Mecca and Brawley; and that we hereby pledge our united support for its completion." Phoenix Resolutions "Be it resolved, That the California delegation recommend as a course for the national highway, a route running westerly from Yuma, along and near the Southern Pacific railroad to a point about four and one-half miles west of Mammoth station; thence southwesterly to Brawley; thence northwesterly along the south and west side of Salton Sea to Mecca; thence again along the line of the Southern Pacific railway to Beaumont, Redlands Junction, Colton, and thence by the shortest route to Los Angeles." The last clause, "thence by shortest route to Los Angeles," forever laid low that corkscrew route. Supervisors to Back Up Supervisors Pridham, chairman of the board of supervisors of Los Angeles county, and also chairman of the nine southern counties supervisorial routing association, suggested that he would be pleased to have the association meet again and change their minds and endorse the Banning-Brawley route as against the El Centro-San Diego route adopted by this last-named association some time ago. Riverside to San Diego Despite the foregoing large map in the convex piled by Geo. M.

Business Lil In contrast with these routes the state highway stands out to the goodthe surveys to begin ange county route they reported that he will quit baseball for good. He is a splendid infielder, but a very ordinary pitcher. Joe Backs responded present when the roll was called. The game between the locals and Whittier scheduled for next Sunday has been called off owing to the fact that the corner stone of the new high school buildings will be laid on that day. Cummings, who pitched for the visitors, has been signed by Manager Hogan of the Vernon Pacific Coast league team, and there is but little doubt that he will make good, as he has a world of speed, good control and a splendid assortment of curves. The series of three games between the locals and Oil Wells will be played shortly. One game will be played in Anaheim, one at the oil wells and one at Los Nietos, in case the third game is necessary to settle the argument. It is to be hoped that these games will be played without causing as much friction between the two teams as the games played a year ago did, and with a disinterested impire there is every reason to think everything will pass off lovely. In the opinion of those who have seen both teams play this year, Anaheim will have to strengthen somewhat or will stand but little chance of winning a game out of the series. Sunday's game was the last the local team will play as a member of the Southern State League for this season at least, and it is earnestly hoped by those who have the welfare of the team at heart that league ball for this town is a thing of the past. There are plenty of independent teams and a game can easily be arranged for every Sunday during Supervisors to Back Up Supervisors Pridham, chairman of the board of supervisors of Los Angeles county, and also chairman of the nine southern counties supervisorial routing association, suggested that he would be pleased to have the association meet again and change their minds and endorse the Banning-Brawley route as against the El Centro-San Diego route adopted by this last-named association some time ago. This was provided for by the adoption of the following: "Resolved. That this convention requests the supervisors of the nine southern counties in California to reconsider their action in requesting the State Highway Commission to build a state highway from San Diego to El Centro, and instead to recommend and request the building of a state highway from Los Angeles by way of Colton, Banning and Mecca to El Centro, the county seat of Imperial county." All of the foregoing was accomplished on Thursday after much loud talking in which the chairman was accused of trying to "gag" the delegates. Peace, Sweet Peace On Friday morning after inquiring if it would be safe for innocent bystanders, the writer took a front-seat to see the fun. The peace dove had taken full possession over night and with the reading of the minutes, one Gill, from San Bernardino, asked to have the reference to "gagging the delegates" eliminated from the minutes. This was followed by a motion that such be granted and the maker of the motion said he would be pleased to see all of the "rough stuff" cut out. Next came that always mournful operation of taking up a collection, which amounted to $575 to be used to further the project of the ocean to ocean highway. False Colors This convention resolved itself into a permanent organization and kidnapped the name, "Southern California," though it was composed, only, of a string of towns reaching from Los Angeles to El Centro. The invitation to Orange and San Diego counties, together with all southern counties north of Los Angeles, distinctly read, "Kindly stay away." The Desert Route Percy H. Clark of Los Angeles dropped a bomb in the proceedings by informing the delegates that the desert route fight was not ended by any means as El Centro city and San Diego county would soon go to the bat. That it would be necessary to put the route in such shape as to get the state highway commission over it without the use of a flying machine. Of several big white elephants, the White river bridge seemed to be the biggest. The hat was again passed and $6500 was pledged to make a temporary road to get the big state automobile safely over. Hands Off "The convention here had nothing to do with the coast route for the state highway system, which will come down the coast to Los Angeles, and from this city south to San Diego, by way of Santa Ana." Riverside to San Diego Despite the foregoing there hung a large map in the convention hall compiled by Geo. M. Realson, county surveyor of Riverside county, showing a proposed state highway from Ontario, via Riverside, Allesandro, Val Verde, Perris, Elsinore, Wildman, Temecula, Rainbow, Fallbrook and Oceanside to San Diego. The Orange coun- COMPROMISE EFFECTED AT ANNUAL MEETING (continued from page 1) terests of the company, and said it was up to the meeting to say whether or not an appeal should be taken. The decision was one of far-reaching importance, as it opens wide the door to water diversion up the river. Also the question of separating oil from water would be taken up and discussed. The company had lately come into possession of rich oil deposits in its La Habra reservoir site. The cash coming in from this source of revenue in January was $4000, and the year would net $50,000 or better. A speculative fever had been thus imparted water stock, and what to do to alleviate the situation was for the stockholders to say. Steve McCulloch, who proved to be the goat of the morning session, took up an hour in arguing that he be permitted to vote 134 shares of the Placentia orchard company stock. McCulloch is superintendent of the company, but had neither proxy nor power of attorney. Former District Attorney Davis read law bearing upon the case, which showed that elections held contrary to provisions of the statute are voidable. McCulloch after being turned down by the proxy committee, brought his case to the attention of the assembled stockholders. He fought his case well, being a fluent speaker, and for a time it looked as if he would win out, but the voidable clause in the law held its own, and McCulloch's goat was forced to hike back to the hills. On motion of E. I. Ames of Pasadena, an owner of realty here and a large stockholder, seconded by Victor Schumacher, the board was endorsed in such action as it may take regarding an appeal from Judge Conrey's decision. G. W. Sherwood spoke in favor of separating oil from water stock. He said water stock was quoted at $200, with none offered for sale. He expected the price would go to $250 and even higher. This prevents development of the resources of the county. Land could not be sold with water stock at such figures. He argued that the speculative price of stock must be eliminated, and this could only be done by separation. C. C. Chapman and Jacob Stern, the two largest stockholders in the Riverside to San Diego Despite the foregoing there hung a large map in the convention hall compiled by Geo. M. Realson, county surveyor of Riverside county, showing a proposed state highway from Ontario, via Riverside, Allesandro, Val Verde, Perris, Elsinore, Wildman, Temecula, Rainbow, Fallbrook and Oceanside to San Diego. The Orange county route was also shown via Whittier, Anaheim, Santa Ana and Oceanside. Semi-Circle From Riverside to Elsinore, via East Riverside, Box Canyon, Allesandro and Perris is rather an irregular semi-circle. The proverbial, "crooked as a dog's hind leg," would be a straight expression in comparison. Oh, You Rainbow From Elsinore the route winds on through Temecula and on to the great metropolis of Rainbow, which consists of one 2x4 post office and one or two shacks. Red Mountain Grade From here it goes up hill and down dale and over the red mountain grade, through the thriving town of Fallbrook, then over hills and hollows to Oceanside. Long One The distances given on this map were 175 miles from Los Angeles to San Diego, via Riverside, and only 132 miles via Orange county. As both routes come together at Oceanside, the difference of 43 miles over the two routes is from Los Angeles to Oceanside, the Riverside route to Oceanside being 129 while the Orange county route is but 86 miles, the former being 50 per cent greater than the latter. Hard One The Riverside route would be difficult and expensive to build, owing to the hills and dales and the distance that material would have to be hauled. Bad One Then again this mountainous route would be a bad one from every point of view. The country is practically wild and the grades well nigh impossible. Business Like In contrast with these pseudo road routes the state highway commission stands out to the good. In ordering the surveys to begin over the Orange county route they have shown showed that elections held contrary to provisions of the statute are voidable. McCulloch after being turned down by the proxy committee, brought his case to the attention of the assembled stockholders. He fought his case well, being a fluent speaker, and for a time it looked as if he would win out, but the voidable clause in the law held its own, and McCulloch's goat was forced to hike back to the hills. The meeting discussed at some length proposed betterments, and voted, on motion of C. E. Jones, seconded by A. E. Greggs, to endorse action by the board to borrow not to exceed $50,000, in such quantities as may be necessary, for such work. G. W. Sherwood moved that when the meeting adjourned it adjourn for two weeks or a month, in order to give Mr. McCulloch opportunity to procure a proxy or power of attorney to vote the Placentia orchard company's stock. The motion called out a lengthy discussion. At 12.45 o'clock the meeting adjourned until 1.45, it being understood that Sherwood's motion would be put immediately after assembling for the afternoon meeting. It was not again submitted during the day. The meeting reassembled at 2 o'clock. Clarence McFadden voiced the position of the insurgents when he excitedly declared he was ready to "stand by the guns and go to it," in the matter of electing directors. No such action was taken. A discussion occurred between B. F. Porter and Engineer Kellogg relative to the area of land to be irrigated by the Placentia pipe line. The former contended the area was 2000 acres, while the latter averred it was 300. Porter offered to bet $1000 Kellogg was wrong. When the latter learned the outlet was to be at a point higher than he had understood it to be, he acknowledged the correctness of Porter's statement. H. H. Hale spoke at some length relating to matters of interest to stockholders, including water spreading and other up-river matters, all of which was listened to with close attention by those present. He referred to the Yorba reservoir construction of which he opposed. Engineer Kellogg upheld the wisdom of building the reservoir, and said in the single item of doing away with night irrigation on the southside it had proved the wisdom separating oil from water stock. He said water stock was quoted at $200, with none offered for sale. He expected the price would go to $250 and even higher. This prevents development of the resources of the county. Land could not be sold with water stock at such figures. He argued that the speculative price of stock must be eliminated, and this could only be done by separation. C. C. Chapman and Jacob Stern, the two largest stockholders in the company, each owning or controlling better than 400 shares, spoke along similar lines. Those opposing segregation said nothing. S. C. Hartranft moved, seconded by R. F. Parker, that a committee of five be appointed to devise ways and means for segregating stock, the committee to report to the board, and the latter to submit it to the stockholders for a two-thirds affirmative vote. On putting the question a number of stockholders voted aye, but a chorus of noes showed the meeting to be in no mood for such action. Initial steps taken some weeks ago on the part of G. W. Sherwood for segregation culminated in the insurrection. The majority of stockholders apparently want none of it. At 5.30 the board of audit came in with its report, which was considered at some length, and finally approved. B. F. Porter moved the meeting adjourn until Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. Hartranft moved to amend by making it two weeks. He stood upon points of order, but amid the first confusion of the day, the chair put the question to adjourn until Tuesday, and it was carried with but few dissenting votes. NATIONAL ORANGE SHOW Notable Exhibit of Citrus Fruits Promised at San Bernardino Which section of California produces the best oranges? That question has caused more animated discussions among fruit growers and shippers than almost any other topic. Northern and Central California claim the honors and advance some excellent reasons therefor. Southern California growers equally strenuously insist the only oranges really worth talking about are all Bad One Then again this mountainous route would be a bad one from every point of view. The country is practically wild and the grades well nigh impossible. Business Like In contrast with these pseudo road routes the state highway commission stands out to the good. In ordering the surveys to begin over the Orange county route they have shown wisdom in selecting the rout that is the shortest possible; with practically no grades; one on which the highway can be easily built; and with a route which threads its way through the garden spot of the world. A committee from the Board of Trade made a trip to the river on Tuesday at the request of G. L. Dietrich, for the purpose of determining the amount of work required along the low banks to protect the city and intervening territory from future inundations. The committee decided that something should be done at once as the old levee was in a bad condition, but the job was too big for private individuals to handle. Mr. Dietrich and his neighbors are putting in a line of piling which was donated by the railroad company. W. P. Quarton was a business visitor in Los Angeles Tuesday. H. H. Hale spoke at some length relating to matters of interest to stockholders, including water spreading and other up-river matters, all of which was listened to with close attention by those present. He referred to the Yorba reservoir construction of which he opposed. Engineer Kellogg upheld the wisdom of building the reservoir, and said in the single item of doing away with night irrigation on the southside it had proved the wisdom of its building. He spoke of Judge Conrey's decision, which he characterized as a blow to irrigators in this county. He had been recently approached by a gentleman who had 2000 acres in Orange county which he desired to place under irrigation by pumping water from the river. This gentleman held that by the terms of Judge Conrey's decision he was within his legal rights in taking water wherever he could find it. Kellogg had had an interview with a government engineer some time ago, who came to investigate water resources of this valley. This engineer said the only source of future supply for local irrigators was storage. Relative to the Yorba reservoir he said it was one of the best pieces of work he had ever accomplished. He cited J. D. Schuyler and other eminent engineers who endorsed the building of the reservoir. mised at San Bernardino Which section of California produces the best oranges? That question has caused more animated discussions among fruit growers and shippers than almost any other topic.

Southern California growers equally strenuously insist the only oranges really worth talking about are all grown in their section of the state. Visitors at the National Orange Show in San Bernardino the week of February 19 to 24 will for the first time in the history of the citrus industry have an opportunity of seeing fruit from all sections exhibited side by side and judging for themselves. Generous entries of oranges and lemons from Porterville, Lindsay, Fresno and other Central California districts have been made and the growers there say they have nothing to fear by way of having their fruit compared with that from Redlands, Highland, Riverside, Corona, San Diego, or other Southern California districts. It will be the first time in the history of the industry the two sections of the State have been in direct competition, and comparisons will be made with keen interest both by growers and shippers.

ONE DEAD, TWO INJURED Result of Two Automobile Accidents near Fullerton, Friday J. Nebilenas of Los Angeles is dead and Dudley Harvey-Elder of Whittier and J. Knipp of La Habra are in the Fullerton hospital as the result of ONE DEAD, TWO INJURED Result of Two Automobile Accidents near Fullerton, Friday J. Nebilenas of Los Angeles is dead and Dudley Harvey-Elder of Whittier and J. Knipp of La Habra are in the Fullerton hospital as the result of two accidents on the grade north of Fullerton Friday. The dead man, a Mexican, at the time of the accident was riding with Dudley Harvey-Elder. The two men were bound for Fullerton. Knipp is a wealthy rancher living at La Habra. He was headed toward Whittier. Showers had made the road slippery. According to those who witnessed the accident, and who were on the ground shortly after it occurred, Harvey-Elder, who was driving at a high rate of speed down the grade, met Knipp on the hill, and when he attempted to pass, his machine skidded and went over the bank. After leaving the road, the steering wheel broke, and Harvey-Elder lost control of the car, which after tearing down a dozen fence posts at the side of the road, rolled over the bank, which is about twelve feet high, pinning the occupants under the wrecked machine, the broken steering wheel puncturing the Mexican's head. Knipp witnessed the accident and rushed to the assistance of the unfortunate men. He succeeded in releasing Harvey-Elder, but could do nothing to relieve Nebilenas. Almost frantic with excitement, Knipp boarded his own car and started at top speed for help. When he had gone but a short distance his car skidded and turned turtle, severely injuring him. He was taken to the hospital, where he has been under constant care of physicians.

It will be in charge of Scoutmaster Wayne Goble and Assistant Raymond Elliott. Meetings are held weekly and boys receive practical instruction in first aid to the injured, signalling, health, patriotic line, etc. Frequent hikes, both afoot and on bicycles, are planned. Study of nature, physical geography, and camping will receive due attention. A scout committee of five representative men of the Presbyterian church has oversight of the troop and exercises general supervision of scout activities. Plans are on foot for organization of other troops here and also in other parts of the county, where the Y.M.C.A. is taking it up as part of its work. Ed Carey, a tramp, was stabbed in the abdomen by an unknown Mexican at the Santa Fe depot at midnight Saturday night. Carey says he was set upon by two Mexicans, one of whom stabbed him. He walked up town bleeding profusely, and was taken to the hospital, where it was found the bladder had been sliced open. It was said yesterday he had a chance to recover. 15 per cent discount for one week all Wood, Coal and Gas Heaters Just received another shipment of celebrated Elk Ranges See us for everything in Stove line M.
