NEW EDICT PUTS PEP IN DEPUTIES LOS ANGELES, July 30.—Deputies of the lower Sheriff's office tumbled out of bed with unusual alacrity when their alarm clocks aroused them from their slumbers today. The reason for the extraordinary burst of speed on the part of the law enforcers was an edict handed down to the affect that all tardy members of the force would be relieved from duty. HOLLYWOOD, July 30.—Traffic jammed in the downtown district here today when a bevy of potential movie stars were seen paddling serenely through the business section on bicycles. The extras at the studios, it developed, have tired of foot locomotion, and are going from one lot to another on two wheelers. TO TEST VALIDITY OF NEW MOTOR LAW SACRAMENTO, July 30.—Will H. Marsh, director of the State Motor Vehicle Department, announced today that the boards of supervisors, of the state are being malled contracts by his department covering the employment of traffic officers as provided by the 1923 Motor Vehicle Act. District Attorney Lovejoy of the Fresno district has announced, however, that he will bring suit to test the constitutionality of the new Motor Vehicle Act when it becomes effective August 21. Lovejoy holds that the state is usurping extraordinary powers when it reserves the right to appoint an officer paid by the county.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 30.—State departments in this city were busily engaged today in re-vamping their annual budgets, after a visit paid the various state agencies in the bay district by Mrs. Neille Brewer Pierce, Governor Richardson's budget-maker. The author of the economy budget went over the financial documents of virtually every state bureau here, being assisted in her work by H. R. Braden, newly appointed member of the Board of Control. She renewed her demand that 10 per cent of all appropriations be put in the unbudgeted reserve to prepare against emergencies next year. The suit of the State Railroad Commission to test the right of Mrs. Pierce to divert revenues of that board to the general fund will probably be brought early this week. 4 DIE WHEN CAR STALLS IRON MOUNTAIN, Mo., July 30.—Four persons were killed while returning home from Sunday school when the engine of their automobile was stalled on the tracks of the Missouri Pacific Railroad, according to witnesses of the accident today.

CHALLENGE PASTOR TO PROVE CHARGES AUBURN, July 30.—A grand jury investigation is in process here this week into charges recently brought by C. R. Fairfield, acting pastor of the Roseville Presbyterian church, to the effect that girls in the Roseville High school had become dope flends from attending school dances. Demands that Rev.

HOW OTHER SEE US ANAHEIM AND WAY POINTS (By Peter Sterling, in the Canon City, Colo., Leader) One notable thing to me about California is the beauty, the cleanliness and the up-to-dateness of the smaller cities and towns. They all seem to be lively and prosperous. Being a small town man I naturally felt more at home when I didn't have to take my life in my hand every time I crossed a street. Of all the smaller cities which we saw, Anaheim appealed to me the most because it more nearly approached Canon City in appearance. Of course, it has paved streets and many newer and more modern structures than Canon City but at the same time it is along the general lines of this city. The thousands of acres of orange and lemon orchards all about it undoubtedly gave it the atmosphere which I like so much about this town. Undoubtedly these same features have appealed to other Canonites because there are many of them living there. Bud Holland has a big electrical store and business located just a half block from the main thorofare. It was just our luck not to see him because he was in Los Angeles visiting his wife and children who in turn were the guests of friends there for a few days. But we inquired about him and found that Bud is well liked as he was here and is doing a very big business for his kind of an establishment. There is much building going on in Anaheim and Bud is getting most of the electrical contracts. Gene Bradbury said that Bud and he were working on a patent for an automobile traffic signal so I would judge from that that Bud still has his old hobby. We saw the beautiful little bungalow residence which Frank Thomas as recently constructed and which he sold a short time later at a handsome profit. Frank wasn't home either because the fish were calling on the Gunnison and he had to get them on time so as not to disappoint by C. K. Fairfield, acting pastor of the Roseville Presbyterian church, to the affect that girls in the Roseville High school had become dope flends from attending school dances. Demands that Rev. Fairfield either retract his statements or produce proof of them were made by civic bodies of Roseville and the grand jury probe followed. The clergyman said that he unwelcomed an investigation and was prepared to offer proof of his charge.

ANAHEIM AND WAY POINTS (By Peter Sterling, in the Canon City, Colo., Leader) One of the successful yards of the Gibson Lumber Company is located at Annheim and Herman Loehr is in charge as general manager with several of the other yards of the company on the coast under his supervision. It was a pleasing sight to read the name "The Gibson Lumber Company" at the various towns along the road from Los Angeles to San Diego. The Loehrs have a very pretty home and friends told us they like the town very much but we did not get to see them. Just our luck Sunday is a poor time to look anybody up in California. The roads are so good and everyone seems to have a car so that nobody stays at home. We visited the ranch of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Sidnam. They have one of the prettiest orange orchards in the entire district and it is one of the biggest revenue producers. It would sell at from $6000 to $7000 an acre and was developed by Mr. Sidnam who originally purchased the land for a trifle of that amount. It is set to Valencia oranges which ripen in the summer time when the Florida crop is off the market so that they command their own price practically. The navels which come on in the winter time have to compete with Florida which sometimes makes the price to the grower rather low. Mrs. Sidnam will be remembered here as Miss Dewer Dozier daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Dogier. While we did not find them at home we helped ourselves to an orange or two right off the tree, which was a new experience to me, and spread the peelings all over the front porch and the lawn, which of course was not a new experience to me. We wanted to do something to make them regret they were not at home when we called and they probably were when they had to scrape up all those peelings. After we had gone we were sorry we had not swiped four or five bushels of the oranges. SEVEN ARRESTS L. A.
