U. P. OFFICIALS VISIT ORANGE COUNTY PRESIDENT GRAY AND OTHERS INSPECT THE WORK OF ROAD EXTENSION Visit Will Mean Speeding Up Construction of Branch From Whittier to This City—Extension From Anaheim South is Still a Matter of Conjecture—Road to Spend Vast Sums on Improvements in Southern California. Prepared carefully to canvass the situation from its various angles and determined to ascertain what can and should be done to hasten the extension of the Unoin Pacific system from the northern part of the county to Santa Ana, a party, headed by Carl Gray, president of the railroad, visited Orange count ylate Thursday. Prior to the departure of the party from Loh Angeles, Marius de Braun made late yesterday by President Carl Gray and other Union Pacific executives of the company's vast 1000-acre holdings on the east side, where repair shops, classifications, freight yards and industries will be established, it was revealed that the first major improvement in the colossal program will be a $1,000,000 plant built by the Pacific Fruit Express in the western portion of the huge tract. This concern, manufacturing and operating refrigerator cars, handles the bulk of vegetable, citrus and deciduous fruit shipments from California to the east. "Maps for the first unit of the industrial sites, comprising 250 acres in the westerly section of the railroads' holdings, have been prepared and will soon be filed with the city council, it was stated. "This area lies just west of the intersection of the proposed extension of Ninth street and Lorena street in Union Pacific Manor. Approximately $1,000,000, it is understood, will be expended on street improvements and other incidentals in this unit, exclusive of the cost of buildings, which will be financed by the manufacturing concerns leasing the sites. "Experts on land values declared that the Union Pacific system's concrete announcement regarding the certain and immediate development of this extensive industrial area already..." Prepared carefully to canvass the situation from its various angles and determined to ascertain what can and should be done to hasten the extension of the Unoin Pacific system from the northern part of the county to Santa Ana, a party, headed by Carl Gray, president of the railroad, visited Orange count ylate Thursday. Prior to the departure of the party from Loh Angeles, Marius de Brabant, assistant manager of traffic stated at the Angel City, when asked as to when work on the Santa Ana extension might begin: "Perhaps it would be possible to give a definite answer were there a little more public sentiment in our favor." De Brabant hastened to make it clear that in this regard, however, he was not speaking for President Gray nor for other executives. "We have been ready for five years, have we not?" De Brabant asked. "We are continuing to meet with opposition in Santa Ana and other cities in Orange county, but if the people of this county were cognizant of exactly what the coming of our extension means, public sentiment would be more in our favor" De Brabant indicated that the visit of President Gray and his party to Orange county might have for its object the removal of some of the obstacles. Asked what the views of the Union Pacific were with regard to the proposal of the Merchants and Manufacturers' association, that a union station be built at Santa Ana, De Brabant said: "That would depend entirely upon the desire of the public of Santa Ana. If it favored a union station, then the Union Pacific would be willing to enter into the project. It has always been the policy of this road to meet the desires of the public it serves." Others in the party with Gray were H. N. Adams, vice-president; E. E. Colvin, in charge of operations, and J. L. Haugh, assistant to the president. That the Union Pacific Railroad company is planning a line south from Anaheim in the future was indicated by Carl R. Gray, president of the Union Pacific, in an interview recently. "Los Angeles is growing so fast that the railway companies cannot conserve enough land, unless they of Ninth street and Lorena street in Union Pacific Manor. Approximately $1,000,000, it is understood, will be expended on street improvements and other incidentals in this unit, exclusive of the cost of buildings, which will be financed by the manufacturing concerns leasing the sites. "Experts on land values declared that the Union Pacific system's concrete announcement regarding the certain and immediate development of this extensive industrial area already has increased property values in that vicinity by at least $1,000,000. Coupled with the adjacent development of the Central manufacturing district by Chicago capitalists, it was declared that the combined gigantic projects represent an assured improvement of not less than $50,000,000." RICHFIELD ORGANIZING PROTECTION DISTRICT Raising Funds for Extension of Work Above Anaheim District An influential and enthusiastic meeting of the Richfield-Anaheim river protection committee was held at Anaheim Chamber of Commerce with G. F. Collins in the chair and C. R. Besper as acting secretary. Messrs. F. A. Yungbluth and H. F. Dierker, representing the Anaheim flood control committee, and the local secretary were present; also the following property owners in the Richfield district under whose care the raising of a large fund for the immediate construction of river protection work will be expended: Messrs. A. Harms, S. M. Hayes, M. Smith, S. M. Whisnant, R. L. Coons, E. D. Luzier, E. A. Rodleck, J. W. Walls, A. Van der Beke and Dr. L. C. Demming. The Richfield committee has been in the field about a week with a petition indicating that they are out for funds for immediate work in the construction of their river frontage north of the Santa Fe bridge, which is the northerly terminus of the Anaheim embankment and planked piling now being completed under Contractor Hill for the local committee. The present plan of the Richfield committee is to drive square posts in the river bed and lay heavy cables from the bridges along a line thus made i norder to draw the volume o fthe flood waters out into the river bed, thereby practically eliminating danger of inundation of lands north Five thousand lodge every lodge in Calico Anaheim Elks baseballs Monica Thursday while plainship for the seas time.

N. Adams, vice-president; E. B. Colvin, in charge of operations, and J. L. Haugh, assistant to the president. That the Union Pacific Railroad company is planning a line south from Anaheim in the future was indicated by Carl R. Gray, president of the Union Pacific, in an interview recently. "Los Angeles is growing so fast that the railway companies cannot conserve enough land, unless they buy it now, to meet the demands that grows in proportion," Mr. Gray said in talking of a program of expansion planned by his company. "Because of the astounding growth of southern California our company decided to forestall, as far as it could, the future necessity and extra expense of destroying tracts so we have bought a large expanse of land for our future growth. "We are building a branch south as far as Anaheim and the route runs through orchards and towns and fine property. We'll go to Anaheim and then we'll have to step to catch up for building a railway through this country is no piker's job." The Union Pacific has spent more than $2,000,000 for land in the last year, Mr. Gray said. He would give no details on the proposed extension of the road beyond Anaheim, but it is believed the system plans to enter into competition with the Southern Pacific on a southern route through San Diego, Arizona and Texas. That the Union Pacific contemplates extensive improvements of their holdings in Los Angeles will prove of interest to the residents of Orange county. The following appeared in a Los Angeles newspaper of Saturday, October 14: "Following a personal inspection Accepting a report on water conservation rendered by engineers of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, regarding the Santa Ana river channel, the board of supervisors appropriated $2000 to be used if carrying out suggestions embodied in the report.

Five thousand Elks, representing every lodge in California, saw the Anaheim Elks baseball team at Santa Monica Thursday win the state championship for the second consecutive time. By a decision of the umpire the score was 9 to 0, but according to the score board it was 5 to 3. The Santa Rosa team, which defeated everything north of the Tehachapi, which included the northern and central sections of the state league opposed. ROYER'S HOUSEKEEPER GETS LARGE BEQUEST Mrs. Feraud Under His Will, Gets Property Worth $193,900 Mrs. Marie Feraud, for twenty-eight years housekeeper for Gen. J. O. Royer, was the chief beneficiary under his will, which was filed for probate at Santa Ana last week. He bequeathed to her 975 shares in the Anaheim Investment company, valued at $193,900. To Mrs. Royer and to his son, Max, he left $32,000, with the provision that they forfeit this if an effort is made by them to break the will. Royer has a yearly income of about $5000, it was shown, and personal property valued at that figure. "I further order that my offices at 2209 Cambridge building, Los Angeles, be maintained and continued, intact after my death," was one request contained in the will. The will was drawn in Los Angeles September 16, 1922, and Royer died in a Los Angeles hospital October 7. WATER ASSOCIATION MEETS The annual meeting of the Water Conservation association was held at the office of the Riverside Water company, Riverside, Friday, October 13 all members of the association being BOND ELECTION TO BE HELD ON NOV. 28 TRUSTEES DECIDE ON DATE OF ELECTION AT SESSION LAST FRIDAY NIGHT Ordinance Calls for $100,000 for Municipal Park, $40,000 for City Hall and $25,000 for Street Improvements—City Divided Into Four Precincts for the Election—Chamber of Commerce Backing the Proposition—Board Denounces Measures on the Ballot. November 28 is the date fixed for the bond election at which the people will decide on the proposal to borrow money for construction of the city park, completion of the city hall and street improvements. The trustees Friday night set the date and heard the ordinance calling the election read for the first time. It will be adopted at tonight's meeting. Five thousand Elks, representing every lodge in California, saw the Anaheim Elks baseball team at Santa Monica Thursday win the state championship for the second consecutive time. By a decision of the umpire the score was 9 to 0, but according to the score board it was 5 to 3. The Santa Rosa team, which defeated everything north of the Tehachapi, which included the northern and central sections of the state league, opposed the Anaheimers. Walter Nagel, famous coast league player, is manager of the Santa Rosa team. Unfortunately Anaheim won the decision on a forfeit. In the fourth inning the Anaheimers began batting Schmidt, the Santa Rosa pitcher, all over the lot, and got five men across the plate. It became evident to the Santa Rosans that a disgraceful score would be chalked up against them should the game be fought to a finish. In the last half of the fourth, a Santa Rosan named Smith, attempted to sidestep a pitched ball, but it struck the bat and rolled into the pitcher's box. Hughes threw it to first, and the batter was called out. But Smith complained that the ball hit his person, and emphasized his complaint by laying down on the home plate and playing dead for ten minutes. The Santa Rosans swarmed into the diamond and demanded that the umpire change his decision. Jack Bedford coast league umpire, was in charge of the game, and he refused to change his decision, stating that he saw the play and wasn't going to be hoodwinked. He finally gave Manager Nagel three minutes time in which to resume the game or forfeit it. Nagel saw disastrous defeat staring him in the face, consequently he called his men off the field and refused to play the game to a finish. Bedford declared Anaheim the winner by a score of 9 to 0, and the championship flag abides with us for another year. The action of the Santa Rosans in refusing to play the game to an end was a grievous one to the Anaheim boys. They were unanimous in declaring that they would rather have been defeated than to have it end in such a manner. Manager Billy Knott said: "Smith's action in claiming that he was hit was only a subterfuge to give them an opportunity to withdraw before meeting a disastrous defeat. We had them going and they knew it. The boys had got wise to tact after my death," was one request contained in the will. The will was drawn in Los Angeles September 16, 1922, and Royer died in a Los Angeles hospital October 7. WATER ASSOCIATION MEETS The annual meeting of the Water Conservation association was held at the office of the Riverside Water company, Riverside, Friday, October 13 all members of the association being present. The reports of the officers of the company show that the past year was the most successful one in the history of the organization, both in the amount of water spread and extension of conservation works. $15,000 was subscribed and used in construction and operation during the past year. The association plans this year to extend the work as far as possible with the funds available. An assessment was levied providing for the raising of approximately $15,000. The following directors were elected for the ensuing year: Geo. S. Hinckley, J. S. Jones, J. W Catick, San Bernardino county; W G. Fraser, E. O. Rickard and Francis Cuttle, Riverside county; H. H. Hale George Dierker and S. H. Finley, Orange county, and the association was organized by the election of the following officers. President, Francis Cuttle; Secretary-Treasurer, C. J. Kettering; Superintendent, C. S. Wilson BILL PROPOSED TO LIMIT TRUCK LOADS Supervisor Talbert Helps Make a Report on the Proposal Orange county will have energetic reprent e astitioethnn representation in the movement, instituted by southern California supervisors, to limit the weight and speed of trucks throughout the state.

Packard, of Riverside, and Henry Wright, of Los Angeles county, were appointed to report on a proposed bill to make these limitations, at a meeting of the 'Southern California Supervisors' association in Los Angeles October 18. The bill will pass a 22,000 pound limit on trucks, according to Talbert. At present the state laws limit the weight at 30,000 pounds. November 28 is the date fixed for the bond election at which the people will decide on the proposal to borrow money for construction of the city park, completion of the city hall and street improvements. The trustees Friday night set the date and heard the ordinance calling the election read for the first time. It will be adopted at tonight's meeting. The total amount asked is $165,000—$100,000 for the park, $40,000 for the city hall, and $25,000 for street work. The city is divided into four precincts for the election, and the ordinance establishes the following polling places, and appoints the election officials: Regular precinct Nos. 1, 2 and 11 have been consolidated into Precinct No. 1, with the polls at the Anaheim union high school.

They were unanimous in declaring that they would rather have been defeated than to have it end in such a manner. Manager Billy Knott said: "Smith's action in claiming that he was hit was only a subterfuge to give them an opportunity to withdraw before meeting a disastrous defeat. We had them going and they knew it. The boys had got wise to Schmidt's pitching and would have batted him all over the field. When Smith got up from the plate, where he had sprawled for ten minutes, he claimed the ball hit on the arm he played usconscious for ten minutes, and then tried to limp in both legs after he got up. It was a fake play, and Jack Bedford, the umpire, knew it. In fact, everybody on the ground, who understood baseball, knew it. I offered to wipe the play off the score card and let Smith bat again, but they refused. I am sorry the game ended the way it did, but we were not to blame. We had them outclassed and would have won easily, but I would rather have lost the championship than have won it in this manner. The Anaheim boys play a clean game, and want to win or lose on their merits." course are of gravel base, the report stated, and could absorb much of the water, should it be turned into them. In a letter to the board, Finley recommended Engineer Hinckley to supervise the work, in these canyons stating that Hinckley had had extensive experience in this line. His work was to be governed by the size of the boards' appropriation. The board accepted the entire report, with Finley's suggestions. The fourth district congress of Mothers and Parent Teachers' association held its annual meeting at Brea Saturday. Dr. Raymond C Brooke, of Pomona college, was the principal speaker. More than a hundred deelgates were present and were pleasantly entertained by the ladies of Brea. Mrs. G. H. Goodale represented the Anaheim society. Metcalf; judges, Mrs. Mona Price Warren F. Mathis; clerks Eva Merritt, Mrs. Lizzie Huntington and Mrs Alige M. McCann.
