Hearing Begun On Irvine Lands Government Probing Title of Big Rancher to Portion of His Property A hearing was begun this week in Los Angeles by the lands' committee of the United States Senate, involving James Irvine, on a charge of unlawful possession of lands in Southern California under an old Spanish grant. It will be recalled here that several attempts have been made to file homestead claims on the Irvine ranch, and it also will be recalled that in every instance the commissioner of lands, the secretary of the interior and the attorney general have given decisions against the claimants. It is said that approximately 800 persons have tried to get homestead claims at $1.25 an acre. Senator Nye is quoted in Los Angeles as offering the following explanation as to reasons for the hearing: "Our committee has been importuned for some years to take up the matter of titles to Spanish grant lands in Southern California. Two years ago, before I became chairman, a hearing was held in Washington and an investigation here was urged by Judge Summers as attorney for a large number of men and women, who have tried persistently to file for homesteads on these lands. The claim has been that frauds were perpetrated in connection with the old grants, and that lands not included actually in the grants are public lands subject to homestead entry. The committee decided that to put an end to its being bothered about this matter it would hold a hearing and clear the matter up finally. We believe that owners of these lands are entitled to have all questions as to legality of title settled. They must have suffered some annoyance and possibly loss through the rumors of clouds on their titles caused by this situation." and unsupported assertions, or else abandoned. We shall go into that matter. "Inquiry will be made into relations between the attorneys and the clients who have sought to file on those lands. We want to make a clean sweep of the whole subject." OUR GLORIOUS CLIMATE Spring is here again and ideally perfect weather prevails throughout this section. Decidubus trees are filled with blossoms and myriads of roses and other flowers are in bloom. The perfume of the orange blossoms fills the air. A traveling salesman from the East recently here, observed that the country around Anaheim was the most beautiful he ever saw. He was especially delighted with the orange groves lining the highways and the sweet scent of the blossoms. He said he would never be satisfied until he returned East, settled up his affairs and came here to buy a grove. Y. L. I. HOSTESSES AT SOCIETY FUNCTION The annual Easter Monday dance given by the Young Ladies Institute at Elks hall, was one of the most brilliant affairs of the year.

Those in the receiving line were Mrs. Mae LeVecke, Mrs. Lucille B. Sidnam, Miss Marie Robertson, Miss Nell Robertson, Miss Mayme Dillon, Miss Naomie Nenno, Miss Marcella Weber and Miss Lucille Bastien. More than three hundred guests were present.

This makes the precipitation for the season 9.59 against 12.20 to this date last season."

PARKER Union Pacific S Telephone 7 Officials Find No Frozen Oranges Rigid Inspection Has Eliminated All Damaged Fruit The present orange harvesting season has set a new record for co-operation between horticultural commissioners of Southern California, according to an announcement made by Horticultural Commissioner A. A. Brock of Orange county. For the first time on record, Brock stated, deputies of his office have found that oranges shipped in from other counties by truck have failed to show a single frozen orange. This fact signifies a remarkable spirit of co-operation, Brock stated, pointing out that any frozen fruit detected was detained at its point of origin. Yesterday deputies stopped eleven trucks coming through the Santa Ana Canyon and found that in each case the fruit was above requirements. Brock attended a meeting of horticultural commissioners at Riverside, at which an agreement was made for a change in the method of cutting fruit to determine its condition. Heretofore the hesperiden crystal cut has been used, revealing possible chemical changes in sugar content brought about by freezing. The new cut agreed on is the "drying out" cut, which is much less technical according to Brock, but gives the same results in detecting possible frozen fruit. Horticultural Commissioner H. J. Ryan, Los Angeles county; A. E. Bottell, Riverside county; and John P. McCoy, San Bernardino county, also attended the session. The engagement of Miss Clara Parrett, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Parrett, and John W. Harrington has been announced. Miss Parrett spent the Easter vacation with her parents in this city and returned on Sunday to Santa Barbara, where she is completing her senior year at the State Teachers' College.

Doyle and Perry Mathis were awarded judgment in superior court against the Merchants Fire Insurance company for $2,400.

Christian Science Church "Unreality" is the subject of the lesson-sermon Sunday in all branches of lesson-sermon is an account of healing by Christ Jesus, from Luke xiil: "And behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou are loosed from thine infirmity. And he had his hands on her; and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God." One of the correlative passages from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy contains these words: "Our Master cast out deeds (evils) and healed the sick. It should be said of His followers also that they cast fear and all evil out of themselves and others and heal the sick. God will heal the sick through man whenever man is governed by Goa."
