The steam schooner Twin Sisters Captain J. Ross, ran aground last Friday near the entrance to Newport harbor. The vessel was the property of C. A. Hooper of San Francisco and was loaded with lumber for Mr. McFadden of Santa Ana. The lumber was landed safely on the beach, but the vessel will become a total wreck it being impossible to move her, except in pieces. We understand there was no insurance. Hot Springs — As the summer weather commences, the hot springs are beginning to be crowded with seekers after health and pleasure. The springs are situated off the Mission Vieja rancho, near San Juan Capistrano, and are said to be unequaled as a health resort. In case of rheumatism, they have in many instances effected a complete cure. Many of our townsmen visited them last summer and returned greatly benefitted. There are at present no accommodations in the shape of hotels or lodging houses, and all who go there are obliged to carry with them a full supply of everything needed for comfort. San Juan can be reached by the telegraph stage line, but private conveyance must be depended upon from there to the springs. While the weather last Sunday was unpleasantly warm in Anaheim, we were exempt from the sirocco which blasted the vegetation in and around Los Angeles. The hot air withered the leaves of the willow and walnut trees in the northern part of the county. The new Methodist church at Orange was dedicated on Sunday last. Rev. Mr. Jewell of San Francisco preached the dedicatory sermon. Among those present was Rev. W. A. Knighten, formerly of Orange but now pastor of the church at Ventura.

Weglein, a former well-known resident of this city. Mr. Weglein was a native of Baltimore and was 56 years old.

MUDDLING MILLIONS The United States government has brought suit against the Bethlehem Steel Corporation for the return of $15,000,000 alleged to have been overpaid on construction contracts during the war. According to the reported allegations of the suit the "fly in the ointment" was, that Charles M. Schwab, president of the steel corporation, was also director of the United States Emergency Fleet Corporation, and in this dual capacity did not enforce the "coat plus" rule against his company. Then the Bethlehem turns around and sues the government for a cool $9,000,000, which it claims is due for ship construction. The majority of the people are so accustomed to reading in millions, and so little practiced in handling them, that they are inclined to pass lightly these staggering allegations between a giant industry and a national government. Assuming the respective claims to be correct, even if the steel corporation recovers in toto, there is still a neat sum of $6,000,000 to be reckoned with. While the common citizen wonders how such an irregularity could escape the knowledge of so big a man as Schwab. The honeymoon is over when he begins to feel too masculine to help with the supper dishes. Speaking of Stylish Homes What Do You Think of This? Guy Lovering left on Tuesday for Dawson, which point he expects to strike in three weeks. He goes by rail to Seattle; thence to Dyca, and over the White Horse rapids and Lake Bennet to the land of gold. May good luck attend him. L.

SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS The petition of Joe Skidmore, et al., to vacate and abandon a portion of that certain public highway located in the Fifth Road District was set for hearing for June 2, 1925, at 10 a.m. Supervisor Leon O.

The Santa Fe Creed President Storey says that teamwork, courtesy, and co-operation form the Santa Fe creed. Regional Advisory Boards are an example of co-operation. Every one benefits when the transportation machine works smoothly. The Santa Fe Creed President Storey says that teamwork, courtesy, and co-operation form the Santa Fe creed. Regional Advisory Boards are an example of co-operation. Every one benefits when the transportation machine works smoothly. Community of interest of the railroads, their patrons, and the public is generally recognized without argument. A fine spirit of co-operation has resulted and has become an invaluable aid in rendering transportation service. One outstanding example of co-operation is the Shippers’ Regional Advisory Boards, eleven in number. They are voluntary organizations of shippers, representing production, distribution, consumption, and credit as related to transportation. Each board has separate commodity committees dealing with each important commodity. Railroads are not represented on these boards, but do have separate committees of their own which co-operate with the commodity committees. These boards consider, analyze, and solve many transportation problems. Through them railroads learn shippers' needs in advance and are enabled to distribute cars to care best for such needs. Shippers large the necessity of prompt loading, unloading, cleaning, and release of cars, and the importance of giving advance notice of their requirements. Friendly conferences around the table have been very helpful. All parties have profited thereby. Car loadings in 1923 and 1924 broke all records, yet the railroads moved the traffic offered without car shortage or delay. There was no magic or mystery about this record-breaking performance. Available facilities were used to the best advantage by railroads and shippers. Plain common sense was applied in a co-operative spirit to solving a difficult problem. Such co-operation made it possible to have the products of forests, mines, manufactures, and agriculture delivered without delay at reasonable cost. Everyone benefits when the transportation machine functions smoothly and without friction. W. B.
