A HAPPY VALLEY.
THE CROPS IN THE LA HABRA VAL
LEY DOING WELL.
Condition-Some Oil Wells Which Are
Yielding Large Returns.

A HERALD representative yesterday
spent several hours riding about through
the La Habra valley, in which are sit
uated the towns of Whittier, Rivera,
Santa Fe Springs and several smaller
places.
The object OF the ride was to discover
the condition of the crops in that val
ley, variety of products being raised
there, and their condition, it was
thought, would be fairly indicative of
the condition of the same crops in other
sections of Southern California.
Major Toler, who owns $40 acres near
Whittier, acted as guide and conductor.
and conveyed the reporter from point to
point in his carriage, acting as an in
formation bureau meanwhile.
Major Toler's men were just getting
in his barley, and it proves to be very
heavy crop, as does that of all the fields
examined. The straw is large and firm,
the heads full. and the grains plump
and perfect. Any rancher who would
grumble at such crop would complain
in paradise. The majors corn crop
was also very promising, the stalks be-
ing bright colored, strong and healthy,
and a few ears gathered from different
parts of the ranch showing up large, full
and perfect.
Further up the valley plantation OF
beans was encountered, equal to any
thing Ventura county can show.
Barley, corn and beans form the staple
crops of the valley, but near Whittier
small paintings of potatoes, peanuts,
melons, pumpkins, and one large planta-
ton of sorghum were found, all uni
formly growing well and unaffected by
any blight or insect pest.
About every place visited had -four
ishing vegetable garden and variety of
citrus and deciduous fruit trees, which
were loaded with green fruit, and prom
ised as bountiful harvest in their way
as the more extensively planted cereals.
incidentally visit was paid to the
oil wells of Mr.. Chandler, near the
Sanborn ranch, and those of Mr.. Rollin,
further south.
Mr.. Chandler has two wells, from
which he is pumping about twenty bar.
rels day each, though the most prom
Using of the wells is to be bored deeper,
and will probably yield more.
The Rollin wells, of which five were
seen, are said to be yielding 200 barrels
per day. This is a crop which is the
most uniform in its productiveness of
anything raised in the valley.
1t is the impression in the valley that
the Santa Fe intends to build cutoff
from Rivera up through the La Habra
valley to Yorba on the Riverside branch,
providing a ready means of transporting
the crops and saving considerable time
les. In case this branch is built, the
uniform excellence of the crops and
the productiveness of the land will
create demand for property in the val
ley which will make land values much
higher there than they now are.

request, but that in case substitute

On motion of Commissioner Lewis it
was decided to ask the council to refer
all meat bills and supplies for the police
department to the police commissioners
before any action is taken by the coun-
Gil.
Mr.. Robinson acted as secretary of the
meeting, and, 1T was stated, will con-
tinue to do so.
Upon motion, it was decided to re-
quest the council to repeal so much of
the salary ordinance as affects the may
or's clerk, and that Mr.. Robinson con-
tinue his relations with the board.

The Southern Pacific Invades the
Santa Fe's Territory.
The following dispatch from Redlands,
received last night, simply states what
the HERALD published here last week !:
San BERNARD1No, July S.-The Red
lands and San Bernardino Motor rail-
road has been sold to the Southern Pa
cifc company, the first payment of the
purchase price having been paid. The
consideration of the sale was $120, 900.
The road will be changed to standard
gauge, and connected with the main
line near old San Bernardino, and trains
will be run to Los Angeles direct from
San Bernardino and Redlands.
This move on the part OF the Southern
Pacific is indicative of an aggressive
policy toward the Santa Fe, and will
probably produce retaliatory measures.

they had buried him, telling him about
the rude pine coffin made from the boards
taken from the bridge. After many days
Of tireless search Mr.. Jackson failed to lo-
