Saturday morning Tim Tye, who was
arrested with Ben Tyler and AL. Meyers
at San Bernardino last week for arson,
made full confession. He said that
| they burned the saloon at Calico

erty in that town. He set fire to the sa-
loon opposite the Santa Fe depot in San
Bernardino January 1st, for which Tyler
was to give him $3.50, and finally they

We learn that the people of Orange
have offered the Rochester hotel to par
ties in Santa Ana for $22 900 for the pur.
pose of establishing college. While
this is slight reduction in the estimated
value of the psoperty, yet it is undoubt-
edly cheap and the building would make
an excellent educational institution. Ii
the liberal minded men of Orange county
would take hold OF it and establish
non-sectarian college, where facts and
science could be taught, and not relig-
ious superstition, the school might be
made one that would be the glory and
pride of Southern California. Such in
stitutions get their reputation from the
men who manage and control them. The
less politics and religion they have inside
of the walls, the better fer tie country.
If more empty churches were turned into
school houses the country would enjoy
greater blessings, the people have more
liberty and rising generations more sense.

Mr.. VIM. Shut, who lives in the east
ern portion of the city, has an acre of
land set to blackberries. The vines are
now two years old, and the crop is being
gathered. Mr.. Shut estimates that he
will have four tons of berries. He con-
tracted to sell the crop to the Cotton can
merry early in the season for four cents
pound. If the yield does not fall short
of Mr.. Shuts estimate he will get for
his acre of berries 1920. Mr.. Shut says
he has lost just cent pound for his
berries, for if he had not sold 80 soon he
could have got five cents per pound for
the entire crop, which would have
brought the figures up to $500; $400 per
acre for berries the second year is not
bad. The gentleman has also a half
acre Of Strawberries in bearing, from
which he has gathered and sold to date
$2l5 worth. The vines give excellent
promise of considerable yield yet be-
fore the season closes, and Mr.. Shut
confidently thinks he will be able to
swell the figures to $3.50 before the end
