John Cook who has one of the show places on South Walnut street, and knows also how to raise lima beans down on the San Joaquin ranch, goes on record forcibly and says any man who says smudge pots were worked overtime in Anaheim the past month is a base prevaricator—not to use the shorter and uglier word. Mr. Cook says there is not even a smudge pot in Anaheim or within a radius of two miles from town. Mr. Cook does not like to see these false reports go out from this section. Mrs. Julia Simmons who has been living at the home of her nephew, O. E. Steward, died at the sanitarium Friday morning. The funeral was held at Parks & Terraces Saturday after Suit for $1909 was brought by Able Raphael, owner of twenty acres at Lobo station, between Stanton and Cypress, against the Pacific Electric for damages sustained in the flood of last January. The complaint, filed by Attorney Leonard Evans of Anaheim, states that the Pacific Electric maintained a bridge that was so constructed that it caught debris and sand and was instrumental in causing the Santa Ana river to break out. The embankment of the Pacific Electric, being higher than the surrounding country, carried the water far from the river. It backed up on the Raphael ranch, drowned 1200 chickens, covered the land with several inches of silt, made it impossible to grow a crop that year, and damaged trees and buildings. It is asserted that twice last January the ranch was flooded. Orange county has $538,743.97 in cash and securities, as shown by Auditor Jerome's statement.

Jones, an oil expert writing for a Los Angeles paper makes a statement that is of interest to people of the oil region. Mr. Jones states that there are eight oil channels lying between Newport Beach and Santa Ana city varying in width from 75 to 350 feet. This statement is rather contrary to what the developers have encountered in the local field, as none of the wells drilled on the outskirts of the field in the general direction of the places mentioned have been of any consequence as producers. However, oil is being found in localities never before considered oil bearing and Mr. Jones's statement may be worth something.
