SOUTHLAND GETS MUCH MONEY FROM STATE APPROPRIATIONS FOR EIGHT COUNTIES THIS YEAR AGGRE-GATE $6,859,115 TABULATED STATEMENT OF ALL FUNDS ALLOWED ORANGE AND OTHER COUNTIES The southern part of California fares immeasurably better in the matter of appropriations at the hands of the state administration than ever before in the history of the state. The manner in which the state's revenues were apportioned this year on a scientific and business-like budget, drawn by the state board of control, shows that the administration has recognized the justice of properly caring for the needs of the south. Including as part of the south eight counties, it is shown by the record that, out of the state's revenue, not less than $6,859,115 will be spent in Southern California. This will be done, although equitable provision has been made for the support of all departments of government which of necessity are located in the capital city, and in spite of the fact that the University of California and 18 state institutions are located in the north. In so far as the records show, the amount apportioned to the needs of the south this year is approximately $2,000,000 in excess of any amount heretofore devoted to that section. Of the total $7,970,000 which will be branch offices and courts in south 100,000 Total $2,799,115 Schools 4,060,000 Total $6,859,115 IN AND ABOUT COUNTY Bishop Conaty at San Juan Forty persons were confirmed on Sunday at San Juan Capistrano by Bishop Conaty, of Los Angeles in the ruins of the old mission church. This was the first class confirmed since 1908. The occasion was one of much interest here, and with the services taking place within the walls of the historic church and upon the floors where about two score neophytes were crushed to death when the tower of the church fell in the earthquake of 1812. Forest Acreage Opened President Wilson has signed a proclamation which cuts approximately 100,000 acres from the Angelus national forest of Southern California. The land is located on the north side of the forest in Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties. A considerable portion is fairly level and the soil of good sandy loam. A number of homesteaders have already applied for land under the forest homestead act of June 11, 1906. Bastanchury Ships Beans D. J. Bastanchury is making a shipment of ten carloads of beans to Los Angeles. It is a part of the crop left over from last October, which was held for a higher price. The ten cars will bring to the producer $13,000. All of these beans were grown between rows of fruit trees and part of the output is of the Lima variety, which will run about $90 an acre. This is said to bring in a good income while Bastanchury is waiting for his fruit and walnut trees to bear. ning a hay-baler.

In so far as the records show, the amount apportioned to the needs of the south this year is approximately $2,000,000 in excess of any amount heretofore devoted to that section. Of the total $7,970,000 which will be available for the common schools of the state, approximately $3,560,000 will be apportioned to the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Santa Barbara, Ventura, San Diego and Imperial. Of the $1,325,000 which will be available for high schools, approximately $500,000 will be devoted to those in the counties named. Following is a tabulation of amounts available for other Southern California institutions: Southern California hospital at Patton ... $845,015 New Southern California hospital (to be founded) ... 250,000 Whittier state school ... 245,000 Girls' training school ... 200,000 Los Angeles Normal school... 323,800 Los Angeles medical college... 45,000 Los Angeles exposition bldg.

Run into by Train Charles Robertson, 78 years, was struck Sunday afternoon about 2:30 at Myford station, on the Irvine ranch, by a Santa Fe train. The man's right arm was broken and his shoulder severely wrenched and he may have sustained some internal injuries. In spite of his advanced age he was resting as easy as could be expected at the Santa Ana hospital. The old man was walking from Colton, where he has worked for a number of years, to San Diego, and did not see or hear the train approaching. Standard Oil Procuring New Leases Standard Oil agents continue to keep things interesting in and about Olive. All reports are to the effect that the indications of oil are excellent, and that it will not be long before the well being put down by the Standard on the Bixby ranch will be producing. That the Standard people have faith in the well is said to be indicated by the fact that their agents are anxiously seeking leases. Agents have also been buying land, and offers for purchases have been made to several owners in that vicinity. About a month ago the MacMullan ranch was sold to Alonzo Bonestall for $12,500. Bonestall has sold to a Standard Oil man for $13,500. The man may be buying as an investment on his own hook, or he may be representing the oil company. A Standard agent is negotiating with C. F. Isaacson for the purchase of 30 acres of land. Mrs. Watson has leased four acres to the oil company. Chispa Chapter Entertains A very interesting meeting was held by Chispa Chapter O. E.

After the work of the evening was finished, a short program was rendered. A reading given by Mrs. Robeson, entitled "The Five Points of the Star," was very appropriate and especially good. At the conclusion of the program refreshments of ice cream, cake and strawberries were served and a social hour followed. This evening, July 3rd, Chispa Chapter of Anaheim will give a card party and social dance in the Odd Fellows' hall of this city. The public will be cordially welcomed. John Boosey a Suicide Despondent and unbalanced from drink, John Boosey on Sunday blew the top of his head off with a shotgun. The tragedy occurred at the ranch of his brother, Fred Boosey, on the San Joaquin ranch. Boosey had been a hard drinker. Before taking his life he wrote a letter addressed to his brothers. In that letter he said: "Too much whisky has been my trouble." He stated that the thing he was about to do was a hard thing for him to do. Ending the letter he wrote: "We should trust in God and not mankind." Boosey's brothers came here from Ventura county about four years ago, and have been farming on the San Joaquin. John came from Santa Paula about two years ago. Recently he has been run- ning a hay-baler. Yesterday he went to the ranch house of his brother George and there acted in a queer manner. He seemed to be much depressed and in a deeply despondent mood. He said the detectives were after him. Those who heard him talking thought he was somewhat unbalanced. John then went to Fred Boosey's ranch house. The only person there was a cook, W. C. Simmons, who was lying down. Simmons heard a shot, but being very hard of hearing did not locate the sound as having come from within the house. He paid no attention to it. Later Henry Boosey came to the place, walked in and found his brother on the bed dead. John had taken a shotgun, placed the stock on the floor and the muzzle to his head, and pushed the trigger. Standard Oil Man Buys Olive Ranch D. F. Martin, leasing and purchasing agent for the Standard Oil Company, stated that he is the Standard man interested in the purchase of the MacMullan ranch at Olive for $13,500. The purchase was made by him and his brother-in-law, William E. Burke, a retired capitalist, who recently sold a cement mill at Hidalgo for $1,000,000. Martin hopes to get Burke interested at Olive. Martin says that the investment is a personal one. Under the rules of the company a purchasing agent cannot make personal investments until they are first passed up to the company so that the company can have the chance to buy. He says the MacMullan buy was planned by him as a personal investment, and that the company had rejected the buy for itself. Martin said the Olive oil well is now down 1,300 feet and that the prospects for oil are good. The well is now in shale, having already passed through shallow oil sand. He says the company will drill other wells on the Bixby lease should the well now going down fail to strike oil. COAST HIGHWAY THROUGH CITY IN SIGHT STATE COMMISSION BENDING ENERGIES TO COMPLETE ROAD NEXT YEAR WORK UPON COUNTY'S LATERAL ROAD SYSTEM SOON TO BEGIN The state highway commissioners are bending every energy toward having ready a completed San Francisco-San Diego coast road before fair year—1915—and they are now attempting to negotiate the sale of $2,500,000 of state highway bonds to complete the $5,500,000 fund necessary to this enterprise. This information is of interest to Orange county travelers at this time, because of the fact that the road will pass through this city and county. Work upon the county's lateral road system, for which bonds in the amount of $1,270,000 have been voted, will be in progress within a few weeks. Commissioner Darlington, who returned from a meeting with the other commissioners yesterday, says that the entire project depends on the cooperation of cities, counties and private individuals along the line. The bond market at present is admittedly demoralized, and the low figures, practically, if the highway bonds has made it impossible to dispose of them in bulk through the usual channels—the bond agents. The only recourse, the board has decided, is to Ana burned down, and since then he has been living in his tank-house. Sunday afternoon Yaeger, an old friend of Jackson, drove into the place with A. R. Blum of Los Angeles, who was expecting to buy a small engine left at Jackson's place by Yaeger. Yaeger opened the door and found Jackson dead in bed. The coroner was notified, and the remains were brought to the morgue. According to Yaeger, who seems to know more about Jackson than does any other person yet found, Jackson's parents died when he was quite young. Yaeger met Jackson the first time in 1880 when Yaeger was enlisted as a scout and sharp-shooter at Fort McKenzie. At that time Jackson was in the service as a scout. About 20 years ago, soon after Jackson came to this county, the two men met again, and Jackson recognized Yaeger immediately as the man who fired the first shot in an Indian battle in a canyon in Colorado. The two men were intimate. About two years ago Jackson sold his 160 acres above Yorba to Mohrenstrecker and Kenyon, oil men from Long Beach. Two payments on the contract have been made. From that land it is believed Jackson still had $15,000 coming. Public Administrator Winbigler, who will probably be appointed by the court to look after the estate, has learned that Jackson had $3,100 in a bank at Anaheim. The 20 acres west of the river is sandy and is not worth over $250 an acre. Yaeger says that Jackson told him he was never married. He says he knows of no relatives of Jackson. So far as can be learned Jackson left no will. When seeking the best table wines, sweet wines, and champagne, seek no further than the Anaheim Winery, opposite West Anaheim Southern Pacific depot. Another Exam For 8th Grades The county board of education has concluded to give a special examination on August 20 to those pupils who failed to pass their examinations for graduation from the 8th grades of the county. The test will be given at the office of the county superintendent of schools. This arrangement will give pupils who desire to do so a chance to study during vacation, and if successful in the August 20 examinations they may enter high school in the fall. This examination does not apply to the Santa Ana 8th graders, who are not under the jurisdiction of the county board. There are only 37 failures recorded against those who were examined at the end of the school term, and many of these may turn failure into success. In some instances illness or some other unavoidable circumstances caused the student to drop behind his class. Several of the 37 received a percentage almost sufficient to allow graduation. By studying this summer those pupils ought to be able to satisfy the school board on August 20. As a result of the examination conducted last week by the school board for those applying for teacher's certificates, three certificates were issued. Six applicants began the examinations, and three were successful. The three who secured certificates are Rose Stanford, Fullerton; Raymond C. Farmer, Long Beach, and Grace Allen, 702 Spurgeon street, Santa Ana. Postmasters' Examination The United States Civil Service Commission announces that on Saturday, July 12th, an examination will be held at Orange, Cal., as a result of which it is expected to make certification to fill a contemplated vacancy in the position of fourth class postmaster at El Modena, Cal., and other vacancies as they may occur at that office, unless it shall be decided in the interests of the service to fill the vacancy by reinstatement. The compensation of the postmaster at this office was $232 for the last fiscal year. Age limit 21 years and over on the date of the examination, with the exception that Commissioner Darlington, who returned from a meeting with the other commissioners yesterday, says that the entire project depends on the cooperation of cities, counties and private individuals along the line. The bond market at present is admittedly demoralized, and the low figures, practically, if the highway bonds has made it impossible to dispose of them in bulk through the usual channels—the bond agents. The only recourse, the board has decided, is to sell the bonds in small allotments to counties or cities, or to banks or other private enterprises which would be benefited by the hastening of this important road work. On the ground that "Los Angeles will skim the cream" of benefits from both fairs, practically if this highway is completed before 1915, Commissioner Darlington is attempting now to interest bankers and wealthy men in this section in the bonds. "If we can sell $2,500,000 worth," he said last night, "we can raise the balance necessary and finish the road in time for the fair. We have decided that this is the most important and pressing work we have before us. Los Angeles will get great benefits from the fairs without the necessary risk and burden imposed by such an enterprise." "It is primarily for this reason that I believe we can dispose of a large share of this amount of bonds in Southern California. The counties down here have sinking fund moneys laid away which is bringing in little or no interest. Under a new state law it is possible for the counties to buy state bonds. The returns would not be in cash as interest, but in added business and wealth in the community." According to Mr. Darlington Santa Barbara officials are now taking this matter up and he hopes that other county officers will follow. The state commission has found comparatively little difficulty in disposing of its bonds to localities along the lines of the proposed roads where the commission will pledge that the money thus raised will be spent in the county raising it. In this case, as he points out, there are several counties and communities on the line, particularly in Monterey and San Luis Obispo counties, where they cannot raise a considerable sum of money. The project depends entirely now on financial assistance from the people and local governments of the state and the commissioners really have their hands tied and must wait to see what action the people will take. The Pacific Implement Company has received the agency for the Cadillac automobile. This is one of the first-class machines on the market and will no doubt hold its own in the contest for customers. Herman Stern, the manager of the company, is a hustler, and will know how to demonstrate its good points. The compensation of the postmaster at this office was $232 for the last fiscal year. Age limit 21 years and over on the date of the examination, with the exception that in a state where women are declared by statute to be of full age for all purposes at 18 years, women 18 years of age on the date of the examination will be admitted. Applicants must reside within the territory supplied by the postoffice for which the examination is announced. The examination is open to all citizens of the United States who can comply with the requirements. Application forms and full information concerning the requirements of the examination can be secured from the postmaster at El Modena and the local secretary at Orange, or from the United States Civil Service Commission, Washington, D.C. Applications should be properly executed and filed with the commission at Washington at least seven days before the date of the examination, otherwise it may be impracticable to examine the applicants. Old Army Scout Dead In Tank House Leaves an Estate Estimated at Upward of $25,000 John Jackson, aged 77 years, was found dead in his bed at his ranch near Santa Ana by Jake Yeager of Fullerton Sunday. He had been dead probably since Friday night. He leaves an estate valued at $25,000 and so far as can be learned he died without heirs. Thirty-three years ago Jackson was a government scout under General McKenzie at Fort McKenzie, Colo. He served as a scout for four year, and took part in some stirring Indian fights. Jackson was never married. He came to this county about 20 years ago and purchased two ranches, one of 160 acres in the foothills north of Yorba and 20 acres near Santa Ana. He lived part of the time at one place and part of the time at the other. He was a bachelor, and was generally alone. A few months ago his house at Santa WHERE BIG RED APPLES GROW Yucaipa Valley Big returns are being made from Yucaipa Apple Lands. 3,000 acres of young trees are now flourishing here and hundreds of acres more will be planted at once.
