Huetson, of Minnesota, was a guest this week of his old-time army comrade, Rev. A. B. Markle. The two were members of the 129th Illinois regiment, and participated in many of the bloody conflicts of that struggle. He was here a year ago, when he met Mr. Markle for the first time since the war. He is spending the winter in California and leaves shortly for New York, where he will visit relatives, and will go thence to Gettysberg for the annual reunion and encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic July 2, 3 and 4. Mr. Markle hopes to meet him. The Standard Oil Company, which is sinking a pilot well three-quarters of a mile northeast of Olive, has attained a depth of several hundred feet. One day last week when a depth of 100 feet had been reached, the crew lost its string of tools in the hole, but later recovered them without much difficulty. Drilling continues day and night, two shifts being engaged on the job. The company is prepared to go to a depth of 4,000 feet. Mr. and Mrs. Bird V. Beebe and Norman E. Beebe and family spent two days the first of the week automobiling through Ontario, Riverside, San Jacinto and other points of interest in the upper valley.

There was no money available to meet the interest on bonds due February 1 of this year, and the officers and a large majority of the stockholders, it is said, are in favor of closing up the present company or consolidating it with some other concern. The committee had an expert auditor go over the books and his special report shows that the company has, during the past year, received $19,110.45 in cash for operation expenses of the company and that it has received $19,334.62 in cash, which under the terms of the trust deed, the expert accountant has designated in his report as funds which should have been reinvested. The report further shows that $35,-398.80 in cash was actually used in operating expenses and $3,546.26 in cash was actually invested by the payment of taxes, interest and betterments for the property. In addition to the cash, $5,754.66 in values was used in operating expenses; in other words, the report shows that there has been used during the past year the total sum of $22,043.01 for operating expenses over and above the amount that has been received for that pur- is to elect some prominent Southerner, probably a governor of some state, as president. Congress will be asked to appropriate $25,000,000 toward the construction of the highway. The South has been virtually neglected by Congress, in the matter of highway appropriations, since the Civil War, and with the Southland's representatives in control of the affairs at Washington, it was considered probable that this section, as the location of such a highway, would receive more friendly consideration there than would any other. San Diego pledged $10,000 toward the expenses of the convention at Ashville and the campaign at Washington, and within two days $2,000 of this sum was raised by C. W. Fox, a director of the San Diego exposition, who was made chairman of the finance committee. Collier, Jackson, Col. Ed. Fletcher, and Rufus Choate, of San Diego, and Dell N. Potter, of Arizona, were named as delegates to the Ashville convention. San Diego has been made the southern terminus of the Pacific coast highway skirting the ocean from Vancouver, B. C., and the western terminus of the California state highway extending inland to El Centro. All of this road would become a part of the round-the-country circle of the proposed highway. The suggested route would give to auto tourists the shortest and most direct route from ocean to ocean, open to travel in comfort almost the entire year, with easier grades through the mountains than any other that could be devised. Arizona and New Mexico have entered enthusiastically into the plan, the only way whereby those states could be placed on the ocean-to-ocean highway and from the Southern States further eastward is coming every the terms of the trust deed, the expert accountant has designated in his report as funds which should have been reinvested. The report further shows that $35,-398.80 in cash was actually used in operating expenses and $3,546.26 in cash was actually invested by the payment of taxes, interest and betterments for the property. In addition to the cash, $5,754.66 in values was used in operating expenses; in other words, the report shows that there has been used during the past year the total sum of $22,043.01 for operating expenses over and above the amount that has been received for that purpose, and therefore that the assets of the company have been reduced by the said sum of $22,043.01 during the past year. The conclusions the committee draws from the report is that the resources of the company amount to practically $56,284.82, and that the liabilities of the company approximately are $101,536.24. The committee states that the resources represent about 50 cents on the dollar to the bondholders. As stated, some of the stockholders are in favor of closing up the affairs of the company at the earliest date possible while others favor consolidating with some other building association. One Los Angeles company has offered to take over the stock a 50 cents on the dollar with the understanding that the valuations placed on the National Home Builders' property is not too high. The report shows that there is only $4.10 on hand, and that it is necessary to raise about $1,000 to take care of bills which must be paid immediately. The expenses of making the investigation will cost the stockholders $718.65, which includes $460 for the expert accountant. About $60,000 worth of stock in this company is held by residents of Orange county and the remainder belongs to residents of Los Angeles and other places. Another meeting will be held today in Los Angeles to either take steps toward consolidating with some other company or to close up the affairs of the company. Experts hold that if the company discontinues business and does not go into some other building association, that present stockholders will not receive more than 15 cents on the dollar. P. Gildea of this city has $3,000 worth of stock in the company, and a Fullerton woman also has $2,000 worth of stock in the concern. It will be remembered that a large majority of the stockholders of the Orange county concern voted to go into the National Builders' Company of Los Angeles about two years ago. At a meeting of stockholders in Los Angeles on Thursday last, an assessment of 1¼ per cent was levied upon bondholders to raise money for the purpose of meeting bills now due. A number of bondholders will consult an attorney for the purpose of inquiring into the legality of this act. IN AND ABOUT COUNTY Big Realty Deal at Santa Ana The Mayberry ranch of 377 acres at Santa Ana has been sold to E. A. Farnsworth and Leo. Borheard, who reside near Huntington Beach, the consideration being about $85,000. The land is especially adapted for beans, beets and alfalfa, and other products. It has been used for general farming purposes at intervals. It is not known what the new owners plan to do with the property. This is one of the biggest realty deals of the season at the county seat. Santa Ana Gets Convention Resolutions favoring State insurance on school buildings but opposing assembly bill No. 1577 as framed new, were adopted on Saturday by the delegates to the convention of mutual fire insurance companies of California in session in Woodland. Santa Ana was selected for the 1914 convention. C. F. Crose of Orange county was elected president and J. J. Fox of Napa, vice-president, and G. F. Cromer of Los Angeles, secretary-treasurer. The main discussion revolved about the proposal to make a flat rate of 50 per cent of the standard board rates for all mutual companies in the State. The discussion was warmly waged by both sides and will not be finally determined until the report of the committee on resolutions is filed. Frank Ey's Grand-Daughter Burned Frank Ey, mayor of Santa Ana, received a letter some days ago from his son at Berkeley, announcing a frightful accident to Frances, the 5-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Ey, at Berkeley, Tuesday afternoon. The little one was playing with Buddy Lindsay, at the latter's home. The little boy lighted the gas, and Frances attempted to turn the gas off. The right sleeve of her dress caught fire, and the skin was burned from her arm from the shoulder to the fingers and her right side from the waist up to the neck.

Mickle, Proprietor SLACKED LIME for Sale in Pound or Ton lots, at New and Second Hand Store 403 East Center Street NATIONAL HIGHWAY ASSOCIATION FORMED Preliminary Organization Effected at Meeting Held at San Diego Preliminary organization of the Southern National Highway Association has been affected at San Diego, and at a convention held at Ashville, N. C., some days ago, this was made permanent. The organization will include ten states of the Southland, the purpose being to secure a permanent highway across the United States, swinging around the Atlantic coast to the national capital. This would connect with a projected highway through New England to the Canadian line, and at San Diego with the Pacific highway through California, Oregon, Washington, to British Columbia. When this is completed the auto tourists may travel over a magnificent road in a great circle around the United States. Col. Dell M. Potter, of Clifton, Ariz., was elected temporary president; D. C. Collier, of San Diego, who is president of the San Diego exposition in 1915, general vice-president, and Fred Jackson, of San Diego, treasurer. Already telegrams are pouring in from the governors and prominent residents of the Southern States through which the highway would pass. Each state is to select a route through its territory. The plan for permanent organization received a letter some days ago from his son at Berkeley, announcing a frightful accident to Frances, the 5-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Ey, at Berkeley, Tuesday afternoon. The little one was playing with Buddy Lindsay, at the latter's home. The little boy lighted the gas, and Frances attempted to turn the gas off. The right sleeve of her dress caught fire, and the skin was burned from her arm from the shoulder to the fingers and her right side from the waist up to the neck. A milkman, who happened to be passing by, heard the screams of the children and rushed into the house and tore the burning clothes from the little girl. She was taken to the Roosevelt hospital at Berkeley for treatment. Her burns are pronounced second degree burns by the physicians attending her. A telegram from the father stated that she was doing well, but that she was not yet out of danger. Money in County Treasury The usual monthly counting of county funds took place this week, the task being imposed by law upon T. B. Talbert, chairman of the board of supervisors; Cal D. Lester, county auditor, and L. A. West, district attorney. They found that the county money on hand totals $804,008.83, and in addition to this sum there is $37,502.52 in trust funds. To various banks of the county there has been loaned a total of $138,800. The county receives interest at the rate of 2 per cent on this sum. For February County Auditor Lester reports warrants aggregating $42,046.75 drawn on the school fund. This sum includes salaries of officials and teachers, purchase of supplies, etc. The supervisors have audited bills this month to a total of $40,088.54 for general purposes, including road improvements, care of indigent people, hospitals, salaries of county officials, Detention Home expenses, and other routine bills.
