OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) By WALDO HUNTER We once read in a magazine of considerable literary stature that the raccoon couldn't be beat as a pet. The writer of this article either didn't know what he was talking about or was guilty of prostituting his craft by knowingly and maliciously spreading base untruths. On the strength of his recommendations for the ideal pet, we bought one of the things, and I am here to state that as a pet, it CAN be beat. Only the other day I was forced to beat it on the head with a feeding pan to persuade it to unfasten a pair of steel-trap jaws from my index finger, left hand. It is true that as a baby, the raccoon is somewhat manageable, and very "cute," but then so is the human animal. As both grow older they become intractible, sometimes vicious, and demand too much to eat. Our 'coon's first stay in the house was of short duration but ridden with violence. First off, he endeared himself to us forever when he jumped onto a small table and flicked two goldfish out of a bowl, swallowing them as quick as a wink. "Well, there's one thing about having a 'coon around the house." I said. "We'll never be pestered by goldfish." Mr. Coon then gave other demonstrations of his agility, curiosity and potential for outright destruction. He darted to a book case and started yanking books out onto the floor. With his hand-like forepaws he grasped a lamp cord and pulled the plug from a wall-socket, upsetting the floor lamp. Monkey-like, he scrambled to the top of a desk, reaching his paw into a fine old beer stein which had been sent to us by a soldier friend in Germany. "Isn't that cute," remarked my wife, a split second before the stein shattered on the floor. THE RACCOON: Man's Best Flend buy him, the deal is final. I won't take him back." In fairness to the 'coon, however, it must be written that he is unusually clean in his habits, far cleaner than a cat or dog. But he can be a sight more ornery. The 'coon will eat anything edible. It is because of this that those who have eaten them say they taste like pork. I wouldn't know, but one of these days I might find out. He has bitten me four times. It is a playful bite, though. His canine teeth are just a little too short to reach the arteries.

SOUTHERN COUNTIES GAS COMPANY Live better County Seeks to Enjoin SA River Water Use by Kraemer Estate Heirs Whether the Orange County Water district will attempt to halt dumping of water from the Santa Ana river to irrigate lands of the Samuel Kraemer estate heirs in the hills above Yorba depends on whether the Santa Fe railroad owns fee title to its right-of-way along the river, thereby cutting off riparian water rights of the Kraemer lands, it was indicated today. Directors of the water district late yesterday instructed their attorneys, Rutan, Howell and Tucker, to "continue" investigation of the status of the Santa Fe titles, thus disclosing that the matter has been under study for some months. Attorney H. Rodger Howell, of the law firm, reported to the board that copies of deeds now in his hands indicate that the railroad "owns most of its right-of-way." The official records, Howell said, are so confused that all title companies in the county have refused to undertake a title search. However, attorneys for the Santa Fee have furnished him with copies of deeds which appear to show most, if not all, of the right-of-way is owned in fee, he stated. Under water law, Howell said, such ownership would block riparian water rights on the Santa Ana river for lands beyond the railroad line. Directors of the water district have indicated their intention to take legal steps to halt pumping on the Kraemer lands, which lie in a valley beyond a acreage paralleling the river. Several hundred acres of truck crops are being irrigated there, and hundreds of acres more could be developed with irrigation, directors said. The valley has not used water from the river area heretofore, it was stated. Some of the first development there probably has established water right by usage, but later increases in water use would be cut back if legal action was successful, said Howell.
