FROM PUENTE TO CHINO
Oil Pipe Line Delivering the Fluid by
Gravity
It Is Just Completed and Its Delivering Ca.
pacity Is Fifteen Hundred Barrels Daily.
Large Expense Saved

The new pipe line between Puente and
Chino, which the Puente Oil company
has been engaged in building for the past
few months, was completed on Wednes-
day, and oil was turned in for the first
time. The distance between Puente and
Chino is fourteen miles, and the time
required for the oil to make this distance
is exactly twelve hours.
The line is built on the gravity syste m
which, by its own weight carries tn e oil,
without the necessity of pumping.
After measuring the delivery capacity
OF the pipe at the Chino beet sugar fac
tory, the parties to whom the oil is being
delivered, the daily capacity was found
to be 1900 barrels, or twice the amount
which the factory will consume. The
factory requires about 1000 barrels during
the two or three months in which it is
making sugar. Last year they paid S25.
600 in freight on oil alone to the South
ern Pacific company, but by the new pipe
line this freight expense is saved.
The Puente Oil company has expended
in pipe line and in storage tanks the sum
of $50, 900, and will have, probably. one OF
the most complete and extensive systems
on the coast, and the fact that new line
has been completed and is found to be
working so successfully will inaugurate a
new system in the handling of oil in
Southern California.

Small Boy and the Horse

At 80 O'Clock yesterday afternoon a
dark bay horse, attached to buggy, stood
hitcted at the sidewalk on New High
street. A small boy came sauntvrng by
free from al. care ii cheerful whistling
in his bard. Passing the horse the small
boy gave it a cut. The horse started. In
dong so it broke the strap by which it
was secured. The horse became rattl Sd
and started on a wild gallop. it turned
into Franklin street to Broadway and
down Broadway TO Sixth, where it was
topped, forum ately with no damage to
itself ana but little to the vehicle it drew
behind it. The intelligent but frightened
animal threaded its way among street
cars and earrings without injury, but it
WAS marvellous how it did it.

DANGEROUS ELECTRIC CURRENTS
The Western Union Demands Perpetual In
. junction Against the Electric Company

The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany Yesterday filed a complaint III
equity against the Los Angeles Electric
company in the United. States circuit
court. After briefly reviewing its rights,
what it has done, ior, the. public good .an9
that of the governme mt. and reminding
the court that the corporation has at all
times been ready to comply with the pro-
visions of section 5267, of the Revised
Statutes in reference to- the sale of its en-
tire plant and property to the United
States, the Western Union comes down to
business.
The company says that it built tele-
graph line from Second street to A la
media, thence to Stephenson avenue and
the Santa Fe depot in 1889. This line is
connected with the main office of the
Western Union and is used to send dis
patches to Arizona. New Mexico tn e
eastern states of the union, Canada, and
by the Atlantic caole to Europe. between
the several departm ents of the govern :
ment and their officers and agents, beside
private messages.
In May of this year the Los Angeles
Electric company built a line upon the
same streets mentioned above. placing its
poles in an exact line with those of the
telegraph company, directly under its
wire. The Los Angeles Electric COM
pany's business is to supply electric cur
rents for lighting purposes to the city at
various points, and its arc lights are from
1000 to 5000 candle power, some poles
having lamps aggregatlng from 5000 to
l2,O00 candle power.
The currents used by the telegraph
company in transmitting dispatches are
much weaker. The duplex and quadru-
pick instruments are very sensitive in
struments worked by reversals of polar
lty. They must be carefully balanced and
adjusted in accordance with the strength
OF the electric current generated in the
main office of the Western Union. The
company has reason to fear induction
currents from the wires of the Los Ange-
es Electric company, and that they will
mutilate tho Geographic signals and cause
such disorders as to render the Western
Union line unmanageable. 1t is also
pointed out that the examination o. the
lineI in case of needed repairs, would be-
fraught with great danger to linemen en-
gagged in the work.
The Western Union company points
out a number of accidents and damages
to which the proximity of the two lines
might lead and how easy these misfor-
tunes might occur, and asks chat the Los
Angeles Electric company be perpetually
enioined and restrained from maintaining
and operating the line running from Sec
ond street to the Santa Fe depot.

A New Armory Needed

1t seems that the lease OF the armory OF
the Seventh regiment, N. g. c., located
on Broadway between Sixth and Seventh
streets, is about to expire and that the
owners OF the building have signiied
their intention of converting the build
ing into an apartment house. The reg
iment is now considering the advisa bill
ity of appealing to the business men of
the city to take stock in an armory build
ing association sfor the purpose of
erecting one that would be independent
of landlords. The plan is said to meet
with favor and deserves the thoughtful
