SEVEN COUNTIES TO ADOPT LOAD LIMIT With a So. Calif. branch of the State Supervisorial association organized in Riverside this week, the first co-operative step to be undertaken is the adoption of 1 uniform truck load limit law for the seven counties represented in the branch. It was stated here today. Twenty-nine supervisors, representing Ventura, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, Imperial, San Diego and Orange counties, were present, including a majority of each board and the entire board from Orange-co. That paved highways all over the state are being damaged by excessive trucking and that the supervisors agree that the necessary step at this time to save the highways is to set low load limits, was brought out in a number of talks at the meeting. The failure of the legislature to pass a state law lowering the trucking load limits was commented upon, the declaration being that the present state load limit of 25,000 pounds is entirely too high and that the state law in numerous ways is inadequate. Representatives from Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties explained to the other supervisors that the three counties had got together upon a load limit ordinance which is now likely in San Bernardino and Orange counties and will be in effect in Riverside county October 19. Provisions of this law, fixing a load limit of 22,000 pounds gross, were outlined and seemed to be generally acceptable to the seven counties. However, in order that details might be discussed it was decided to name a committee of one members from each county to go over the tri-county ordinance with a view to making any changes found advisable. The seven counties as quickly as possible will have the same ordinance. It is quite likely that Los Angeles, Ventura, Imperial and San Diego counties will adopt the tri-county ordinance.

The rally was opened with the singing of many songs and yells. Gertrude Griggs announced that the Seniors would sell salted peanuts and candy at the game tomorrow. Mr. Geo. Hedstrom told the assembly that there would be a big soda fountain out near the bleachers so the crowd could get all the liquids that they desired. Captain Bill Cook was called to give a few words. He declared that the boys are in good shape and ready to show Santa Ana that we mean business and that we are going to be right now in taking the victories. Marlowe Janas made a plea for the students to buy more tickets as the boys needed the support of everyone, financially as well as physically. Some kind hearted senior got up and made a motion that the freshman be compelled to gather firewood for a bonfire to be used at the big rally this evening. Of course the Freshmen protested, but to no avail. The Sophomores have as their task, the painting of the goal posts. One end post is to be painted in Blue and Gold for good old A. U. H. S., and the other post in Red and White for Santa Ana. The Juniors have to make a dummy to represent Santa Ana. This will be burned in effigy this evening. The Seniors will furnish the entertainment.

BUILDING RESUMED IN PITTSBURG AFTER SUMMER OF IDLENESS PITTSBURGH, Oct. 14. — The unemployment situation here has been greatly relieved by work being started on over $3,000,000 worth of building contracts. The building trades have practically been idle all summer and there are millions of dollars worth of accumulated contracts awaiting settlement of differences in the building trades. It is believed these troubles are practically ended and a tremendous amount of construction both in business and residential districts will soon be under way.

Fruit Growers' exchange. The scheme of operation is explained in a series of letters sent to the associations by the exchange committee of three men who made the investigation of the possibilities of the project. A. E. Bennett, representing local association, former Tustin orange grower, was a member of the committee. C. S. Whitecomb was chairman and R. H. Wilkinson the third member. Bennett is decidedly and positively in favor of going ahead with the steamship project. He believes that through water transportation the growers of So. Calif. have a source of relief from high railroad rates. The directors of the Calif. Fruit Growers' exchange are anxious that the association members inform themselves concerning the details of the project. Every effort to get available information to the growers has been made, and the campaign of understanding will be kept up until it is felt certain that the project is made plain to the growers. A plan of financing the project has been studied out and pronounced entirely feasible and safe. Under the plan of finance, the citrus shippers are to contract to ship 5000 cars a year by steamship, for three years, the freight rate not to exceed 78c a box from the dock. "To each Director of Association Member of California' Fruit Growers' Exchange" For more than six months past this committee has been making an exhaustive study of the question of water transportation fr citrus fruits from San Pedro thru the Panama canal to the markets of the Atlantic seaboard, more particularly the cities of Philadelphia, New York and Boston. On Aug. 31 last a report in detail was made to the board of directors on this investigation. SCHNEIDER'S MEAT MARKET EXPANDS Due to their largely increasing business, Schneider's meat market on West Center-st, a few doors west of Los Angeles-at, has found it necessary to enlarge its facilities. The considerable improvements will be completed within a week. A large new ice box 15x20 is being installed. It is put out by the Commercial Fixture Co. of Los Angeles, and is said to be the very latest in meat market equipment. The counters are also being set back in order to give more room, and therefore greater efficiency in the serving of patrons. CHARGE WAR TAX EMBEZZLEMENT PLOT LOS ANGELES, Oct. 14.—Deputy U. S. Marshal Montelone today arrested C. G. Wilford, San Bernardino, said to have been connected with a social athletic club, on a charge of conspiracy to embezzle war taxes. WEST VA. INDUSTRIES SHOW CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT CHARLESTON, W. Va., Oct. 14. According to a statement issued by the state bureau of labor, reports from its field agents show a very noticeable improvement in the industrial conditions of West Virginia during the past two months. The reports show that a large number of plants have resumed operation after having been idle for months, and have given employment to hundreds of men. INTEREST RATES REDUCED TO PRE-WAR LEVEL OF 5 PER CENT NEW YORK, Oct. 14.—Evidence that the financial interests are not worried over prospects is furnished in the reduction to 5 per cent of the rediscount rate of the federal reserve bank of New York. This is the first time since 1914 that the rediscount rate has been as low as 5 per cent. This is the fifth reduction of interest rates made by the federal reserve bank since the first of March, at which time the rediscount rate was 7 per cent. The action of the New York bank is expected to be followed soon by similar reductions in other federal reserve districts. Million Volts May Be Transmitted Now WASHINGTON, Oct. 14. — The announcement of the General Electric Co. that they have succeeded in transmitting a 1,000,000 volt current in their laboratory is assurance that there need be no further question about the attainment of sufficiently high voltage for power transmission to any reasonable distance. For this is higher potential than will be commercially necessary for transmission of power from any part of this country to its place of use. This is the opinion of Charles E. Oakes, electrical engineer for the Federal Power Commission, that is concerned with the large hydro-electric power projects of the country. Large amounts of power are not likely to be transmitted across the continent from coast to coast, Mr. Oakes believes. The transmission problems will be confined to within large areas of power producing and power using, such as the super power zone area, and these areas will be relatively independent of each other. In fact, for many years to come, it is improbable that a voltage higher than 330,000 will be used on commercial lines. The highest voltage line in the country is that being erected to feed San Francisco at 220,000 volts. This pioneer line will be placed in commission this year. A much longer line, operating at 150,000 volts is that in So. Calif., supplying Los Angeles from the Big Creek power plant on the San Joaquin river 245 miles away. LUMBER SURVEY SHOWS INCREASE CHICAGO, Oct. 14. — Reports from all lumber producing sections of the country reveal a steady improvement in business, attended by buying in considerable volume. The increase in buying is well illustrated by the manner in which the total volume of orders booked has forged ahead of production in the last few weeks. Figures compiled by the National Lumber Manufacturers' to exceed 78c a box from the dock. "To each Director of Association Member of California Fruit Growers' Exchange For more than six months past this committee has been making an exhaustive study of the question of water transportation fr citrus fruits from San Pedro thru the Panama canal to the markets of the Atlantic seaboard, more particularly the cities of Philadelphia, New York and Boston. On Aug. 31 last a report in detail was made to the board of directors on this investigation, the board accepted the report, and requested the committee to bring in a recommendation. On Sept. 7 the committee presented the following recommendations: "That it is to the best interests of the Exchange that an independent steamship company be organized and financed in So. Calif., having its first object the (transportation of citrus fruits from San Pedro to Atlantic ports, and: "In order to lay a foundation on which to finance the steamship company, we further recommend that the management be authorized to take the necessary steps with its citrus shippers to contract as much as two million boxes (about 5000 cars) per year for a term of three years of citrus fruits for transportation by water from San Pedro to Philadelphia, New York and Boston, in ships equipped with cold air refrigeration system, especially for fruits, and at a freight rate to be fixed on a sliding scale for the term of the contract, the freight rate the first year not to exceed 78 cents a box from the dock at San Pedro to the dock at Philadelphia, New York and Boston with a reasonable additional rate for transporting the fruit from the packing houses to San Pedro and pre-coiling the fruit at San Pedro." "The board considered these recommendations on September 7 and again on September 14. "It is recognized that this is one of the most important questions that has ever come before our board that the most serious problems confronting our growers at this time are transportation and the charges levied against our products for transportation. Therefore the board looked upon these recommendations with favor. However, in order to give more time to consider the question, and distribute more information on the subject before final action is taken, the matter was laid over for three weeks (until Oct. 5) and the committee requested to send out as much information as practicable during the intervening time. The chairman of the committee, C. S. Whitcomb, has volunteered to attend meetings of growers, whenever invited to do so, and present the matter in detail." "You will receive six letters during the next three weeks (this is the first one) in which you will be quin river 245 miles away. LUMBER SURVEY SHOWS INCREASE CHICAGO, Oct. 14—Reports from all lumber producing sections of the country reveal a steady improvement in business, attended by buying in considerable volume. The increase in buying is well illustrated by the manner in which the total volume of orders booked has forged ahead of production in the last few weeks. Figures compiled by the National Lumber Manufacturers' association show that for the 33 weeks ended Aug. 20 production has been exceeded by orders approximately 61,000,000 feet; since that time the excess of orders booked over production has increased, until for the 35 weeks ended Sept. 3, it was approximately 86,000,000 feet. Although definite figures, showing the increase in orders for the whole country since Sept. 3 are not available, figures from individual association and market reports make certain that orders booked continue to gain over production. New business continues to come from all sources, though retailers remain the backbone of the market.
