Reflecting a steadily increasing value, Southern California Edison Company’s 5½% Cumulative Preferred Stock has met the demands of the conservative investor for a gilt-edged investment. More than 109,000 stockholders have benefitted by the upward trend of Edison securities. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY Owned by Those it Server LOCAL BREVITIES Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Neff were in town several days this week, visiting friends. They have just returned from an enjoyable motor trip through the northern part of the state. The Orange county, board of supervisors will be urged to appoint J. J. Dwyer of Anaheim to represent the agricultural interests on the county flood control board, which is now being organized, it was announced at Santa Ana, following Friday's meeting of the Orange County Farm Bureau, at which Dwyer was named for the position. The supervisors recently appointed five members of the board. Four hundred acres on the Bastanchury ranch have been leased to the Shell Oil Company. The territory lies within the city limits of Fullerton to the north of the city. The consideration, according to the Shell company, was $10,000 bonus, with one-sixth royalty on oil produced. Lumber is being hauled to the lease and the first derick is to be constructed at once. Although it has been rumored that Northgate Height was to be leased to the Union or Standard oil companies, it was denied by Felix Stein, manager of the subdivision, and also by the two oil companies. The packing house of the Anaheim Walnut Growers' Association has been receiving nuts faster than they could be handled. Five hundred tons were on hand Monday, consequently Manager Ross announced that no more would be received at present, as there was no room to store them. Night and day forces are at work, and probably within a day or two shipments will clear the floors, and the house will open its doors for more. The Tri-Counties Water Conservation Association, formed by representatives of the counties of Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino, will meet in annual session, Saturday, at 10 a.m., at the office of the Riverside Charge of Murder Against Talbert Former Supervisor's Son Forces Serious Accusation A complaint in which murder is charged to Gordon Talbert, son of T. B. Talbert, former chairman of the Orange county board of supervisors, was filed Tuesday in the court of Justice Chris P. Pann at Huntington Beach. The complaint is a result of long investigation by District Attorney Z. B. West, Jr., of conditions surrounding an automobile wreck at Huntington Beach on July 29, in which Floyd Covert, 45, who was riding with Talbert, was killed. West stated Monday that the charge might be either manslaughter or murder, and it was believed that the latter charge resulted from the supposed presence of liquor as a factor in the accident. Mrs. Hattle Covert, widow of the deceased, who lives at 1012 Magnolia street, Huntnigton Beach, has signed the complaint, having examined it in the Huntington Beach court shortly after it was filed. West started his investigation shortly after the accident, when a coroner's jury which retrenued a verdict of accidental death, recommended further study of the case. The inquest is said to have shown that Talbert was speeding when he apparently lost control of the car and it jumped the curb, crashing into a tree. Talbert was practically unhurt. The charge of murder, according to the law, is said to be necessary in such a case if the accident took place during the commission of a felony such as driving an automobile under the influence of liquor. All Marriage Fees Belong to Justices New Road Planned Along the Coastline Plans for a new high speed, double track highway that will cut down the running time between San Francisco and Los Angeles by three hours and a half has been disclosed, following a conference between representatives of the California Highway Development Association and the Westside Highway Association. The proposal is to submit the project to the voters at the next general election. Preliminary preparations for a state-wide campaign of education in behalf of the measure are now well under way, it is said. A complete study of the route of the highway, down the west side of the San Joaquin valley has been made by the engineering department of the California highway commission. A method for the financing of the construction of the road has been worked out by the two organizations, the Westside and the California Highway Development Association, details of which are to be announced in the near future. The movement for the Westside Highway Association is being led by Dr. W. W. Goodrich, president of the organization. They have enlisted the support of Senator Roy Fellom, member of the roads and highway committee of the state senate, who has suggested the method and manner of financing the project, which will perhaps be the biggest thing in road construction ever attempted by any state in the Union. “This highway will be of the utmost value to all sections of California,” said Senator Fellom. “The plan has met with wide favor both here and in the south. There is no question but what such a road would do much to bring the north and the south closer together and would greatly stimulate tourist travel to California.” The highway when completed will be unique in the highways of the world, it is declared, and will mark a new era in road building. be handled.

The Tri-Counties Water Conservation Association, formed by representatives of the counties of Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino, will meet in annual session, Saturday, at 10 a.m., at the office of the Riverside Water Company. The organization was created for the conservation of waters in the Santa Ana river, and is the association responsible for the spreading of waters in the debris cone in the Santa Ana river. Operation of the association has been justified by results that have been obtained, as declared in frequent reports indicating the flow of the Santa Ana river in the summer months and in the filling of the underground water basin. Reports of officers will be one of the features of the session, with election of officers as one of the most important points. Congressman Phil D. Swing, who is spending three days in the county, will be at the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce at 2:30 o'clock today. He will be glad to meet as many people as possible and listen to any suggestions they may make. Adolph Hirsch, proprietor of the Anaheim bowling alley, is in the hands of Los Angeles police today as the result of his arrest in San Pedro Tuesday on a narcotic charge. Hirsh was nabbed with a number of alleged narcotic addicts in a rooming house at 933 South Palo Verde street, San Pedro, the police taking 14 ounces of what was said to be narcotics from the place. The Anaheim man came to Anaheim from San Pedro 10 months ago, opening up his present business here at that time. Miss Jane Case, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Curtis Case, 729 North Clementine street, and her grandmother, Mrs. A. L. Bennett of Anaheim, left Sunday evening on a trip to New York City, to be made via the Panama canal route. En route they plan to stop at Salvador, Nicaragua, and Havana, expecting to arrive in New York early in November. They plan to spend a month in the metropolis. All Marriage Fees Belong to Justices Judge Rules That County Not Entitled to Such Perquisites Efforts of George E. Richardson of Santa Ana to compel justices of the peace of Orange county to pay all marriage fees received by them into the county treasury came to naught Friday. Superior Judge James L. Allen denied Richardson's petition for a writ of mandate against Justice Morrison by sustaining a demurrer to the petition without leave to amend the petition. This ruling had the effect of throwing the case out of court. An appeal will be taken, it was said. Former Judge R. Y. Williams and L. A. West represented Justice Morrison, the occasion marking Judge Williams' first appearance before the court since he resigned from the bench last year. His long and close friendship with Justice Morrison, who was clerk of Judge Williams' court before becoming justice, was understood to have brought the ex-jurist from retirement. The defense demurrer, which attacked Richardson's petition on general grounds, contending that it failed to state a cause of action, was resisted by Richardson's counsel, who argued that, under the constitution, no official had the right to keep for himself any "perquisites" of his office. "Perquisites" was defined to include any gratuity, the contention being made that Justice Morrison has no right to keep anything he receives by virtue of his office. Defense attorneys pointed out that formerly, under an enactment of 1907, the law provided that a fee of $3 be charged by justices for performing marriages; that this act was repealed in 1913. They cited the code section which provides specifically that all legal fees shall be turned into the county treasury and argued that since the law had eliminated the marriage fee, there was clearly no intention that the county should have a legal claim upon the moneys received for performing marriage ceremonies. To clinch their case, the defense lawyers produced an Oregon case bearing directly upon the matter in dispute, in which the court held that since there was no fee provided by law, the county had no way of laying claim, nor any more claim upon such moneys, than the official. The highway when completed will be unique in the highways of the world, it is declared, and will mark a new era in road building. The plans call for two roadways paralleling each other, thirty feet wide and separated by a strip ten feet wide which can be used as a parking space. The proposed route of the highway carries it through practically undeveloped territory. The distance between towns will average fully 75 miles. In view of this and the fact that an effort will be made to avoid towns where possible, it is proposed to have no speed limit for the cars traveling this road. All intersecting highways will be underpassed to add to the public safety. There will be no railroad grade crossings. There will be stretches of highway that will be without a turn or curve for 250 miles. The route of this Westside highway will avoid the Ridge route and its attendant grades, using a low level pass hitherto unused. Mrs. Fannie Lyon and Miss Margaret Higgins of Hollywood spent Sunday and Monday in Anaheim, the guest of Mrs. Helmsen.

HAPPY HOME-COMING Allan Melrose arrived from Larkspur on Saturday at noon, coming down to meet Mr. and Mrs. Fred A. Backs and family, who had just arrived from a tour of Europe. He expected to meet them in San Francisco, but was unable to do so, and came on another train following in one hour. A very happy family reunion resulted. He intended to remain a week or more, but returned north early in the week on an important business matter. While in the Ferry building, arranging for transportation, his new Bulck car was stolen from in front of the structure. He carried insurance, and will have a new car within a few days. Mrs. Melrose, who has been visiting with relatives and friends here for several weeks past, returned to Los Angeles Wednesday, and will go north on the steamer Yale tonight. A miraculous escape from death was experienced Monday night by William Sandersfield and Henry Gatgens, both of Anaheim, when a light car in which they were riding turned over on North Flower street, near Orana. The wreck took place at a double turn on Flower street, half a mile south of Chapman avenue, when the youths attempted to avoid collision with a car driven by Mrs. Lee Ellert of Santa Ana, who was accompanied by her sister, Miss Edith Blysma. Sandersfield and Gatgens suffered cuts and bruises, but escaped serious injury, though all the glass in their car was smashed and it was otherwise damaged by rolling completely over. Heavy Fine for Polluting Waters Pollution of the waters of San Francisco bay by careless shipmasters and engineers, who pump bilge water which is many times well loaded with oil into the waters near where the boat is docked or loaded, should get a severe setback as a result of the $300 fine handed to the Sudden Christensen Company in an Oakland police court. The suit filed by the division of fish and game of the Department of Natural Resources came about following the reporting to John Spencer, head of the bureau of hydraulics of the division, and after a thorough investigation Spencer charged that the steamer Edna Christensen, while lying at a wharf of the Hanlon Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, had pumped bilge water containing oil into the waters of the estuary, on August 10. After several postponements the case came to trial on October 6, before Judge McKinnon of Emeryville, sitting in place of Judge Bacon of the Oakland police court. J. L. Bundock, fish and game deputy, testified as having filed the complaint. Police Officer Charles Jennings of Oakland testified to having watched the oil pour from the ship into the waters of the estuary. Spencer testified as to the result of such pollution and, while the officers of the ship claimed there was no oil in the bilge water, it was admitted that bilge was pumped on the date charged. Judge McKinnon found the defendant guilty and assessed the $300 fine. The ship owners served notice of appeal. DESERVED HONOR Nobody will quarrel with the 1927 award of Roosevelt medals for distinguished service, or say that other men were more deserving than the three designated for the honor by the Roosevelt Memorial Association. They are General John J. Pershing, for service in behalf of national defense; John Bassett Moore, American member of the Permanent Court of International Justice, for development of international law, and Herbert Hoover, for his administration of public office. Three Roosevelt medals are awarded annually to Americans who have given their country distinguished service in administration of public office, development of national and international law, promotion of industrial peace, conservation of national resources, promotion of the welfare of women and children, the study of natural history, the promotion of outdoor life, the promotion of national defense, the leadership of youth and the development of American character, which together cover the broad field swept by President Roosevelt's interests and activities. The American people will be particularly pleased because Mr. Hoover has been honored, and the reason for awarding him the medal, for his work as a public official. Only once before has the award been made for that reason, when in 1924, the medal was bestowed upon Elihu Root, who had been secretary of state in the Roosevelt cabinet. It is the first case, however, of the medal being awarded while the recipient is still in office, an unusual recognition of the high character of service Mr. Hoover is performing for his country.
