PLACENTIA

PLACENTIA, March 2S-(Special Cor
respondence.) To the east of Fuller
ton and to the northeast of Anaheim is
a beautiful and rich section of country
known as Placentia. This section has
no town of its own. but is tributary to
the two towns above mentioned. 1t has
q postofflce. however, and some very
thrifty people, who grow oranges, cab
bages, lemons, and other fruits and vege-
tables, to say nothing of walnuts.
w. M. McFadden is one of the leading
citizens. He has lived here nearly thirty
years, and he now has a fine orchard
that gives him annually from twelve to
twenty carloads Of oranges to market
as we'll as several carloads of walnuts.
In this same settlement is also the or
chard of the Southern California Fruit
company-over 100 acres. This company
was incorporated in Healdsburg, Sono-
ma county, twenty-five years ago by
the writer. 1t is now a fine paying prop
erty, giving dividends annually to the
stockholders, although the company
spent much money years ago In expert
menting. The par value Of the stock is
500 share, while the actual value must
be about 5000 share.
Just to the northwest of this settle
ment is the celebrated Puente oil well

ORANGE COUNTY

district, and on the south slope of the
Puente hills is to be seen from this val
ley a cluster of derricks over wells from
which oil is now being pumped. This oil
is piped to Chino, where a portion of it
is refined and the remainder is being
used as fuel in the Chino beet sugar
factory.
To the northeast of Placentia the Cali
fornia Southern railway company are
at work developing new oil territory
The first well is now down over 300 feet
with good prospects of oil. If this we'll
proves a success a half dozen we'll bor-
irg outfits will be set at work at once
in search for more oil. This work is
now in charge of e. L. Doheny, the man
who started work so successfully in the
hilly section of Los Angeles city, and
he feels just as confident of success here
as he did there. This move would indi-
cate that the Santa Fe system is not
yet abandoning the use of oil as a fuel
with view of going back to coal.
The Placentia country is under the
flow of the canal of the Anaheim Union
Water company-a company that has
water for from 10000 to $4,000 acres of
land. The area over which the water is
spread is being extended from time to
time as the system is improved and the
water is saved. The water supply is
taken from the Santa Ana river in Bed
rock canyon.

PASADENA

PASADENA, March 2s.-(Regular
correspondence DR.. Norman Bridge
lectured before a good-sized audience
at the Universalist church this after
noon at 4:3O o'clock upon the subject,
1.-TWO Sorts of Conscience" The speak
er was presented by Rev. w. X. Jones,
the pastor, who also announced that a
series of lectures upon socialistic, his
torlcal literary and like subjects would
be commenced today. The two sorts of
consciences as laid down by the lecturer
are Individual and Glass corsoienoes. a
number Of instances of the workings of
these consciences We're given The first
sort Is an impulse and guide to individ-
ual action. 1t can be educated and
controlled, but is largely born in one.
Different men are governed by differ
ent kinds of consciences. 1t tells man
what he ought to do, stimulates bravery
or cowardlce. Men In battle are worked
UP by their consciences to do brave
things or cowardly things. This is
where the other. or class conscience,
comes in. 1t influences to good or bad.
A man In company will do things which
he would not dare to do alone; he will
do things alone which he would not dare
to do In company. Human selfishness
Is necessary and unavoidable. Wrong
in one man may be right in another, ac-
cording to his conscience. Conscience
rewards good and avenges wrong. The
individual conscience makes the collec-
tive conscience possible. 1t Is the col
lective conscience which rules mobs.
Yet the individual conscience may mod
ify and influence the other. Passion is
the expression of the collective standard.
The objective expression is of the mobs.
The good expression caused the Decla-
ration of Independence and the aboli-
tion of slavery. A forceful individual
conscience often influences classes.

Among the humorous memories con-
neoted with English judges is one Of
Justice Byles and his horse. This emf
nent jurist was we'll known in his pro-
fession for his work ON "Bills," and as
this gave a fine opportunity for allitera-
ton his associates were accustomed to
bestow the name on the horse, which
was but sorry steed.
There goes Byles on Bills" they
took pleasure in saying. and as the
Judge rode out every afternoon they ill.,
dulged daily in their little joke. But
the truth was that the horse had anoth.

his man. and when too curious client

is a unit on annexation as q policy,
it is said that two of the members

ton whether Hawaii shall seek
unconditional annexation or
whether Uncle Sam shall be ask
ed to take Hawaii into his family

has to offer entitle it to impose
certain conditions and restrictions
in the event of annexation; one Of
these being that all Federal ap,.

the territory of Hawaii must be
from bora fide citizens of the isl

Owing to the lateuess of the

THE FIRE HALL CoNTRs CT AWARD.

EDITOR BULLETIN: AS there
are many conflicting rumors and
statements in circulation in refer
ence to the awarding of the con-
tract for the new Fire Hall, it is
due to the public and
the Government itself that an
official explanation be publicly
given at the earliest opportunity.
Few are willing to credit the
statement made in daily paper
recognized as an official organ,
that the contract was given to a
contractor whose bid for the work
was nearly $1,000 higher than
several others under him sim ply
because he offered sample
of stone pronounced to be better
than the samples submitted by
his competitors. 1 shall not, in
the absence of an official explans-
ton, discuss the merits of the
case, or at least 1 feel that the
Cabinet should be given reason
able time to make state
ment. In countries where
the members of the government
are required to give an account of
their stewardship to parliament
once a year, and to the people
every four or five years, taxpayers
have not as a rule much cause for
suspicion or to fear that the pub
lie business is not being conduct
ell on strictly business liues,
but under existing conditions in
this country it is not to he
expected that the taxpayers will
view with implicit confidence any
action of the executive involving
large expenditure of money that
does not bear on the face Ut it en-
tire absence of questionable cir
cumstauces.
The usual object in calling for
tenders for Il public work is to
guarantee the community against
jobs and favoritism. Specifications
setting out the quality of
workmanship and material to
he used are submitted
for the guidance of those who de-
sire to submit prices. If the con
tractor who puts in the lowest Of
fer can give security for the faith
full performance of his contract and
will sign an agreement embodyiug
the specifications, that should de
eide the question. 1t does not
matter whore he gets his materi-
ais SO long as he complies with
the working specifications.
In the case in point | cannot
but believe that the Executive
has been misrepresented and that
satisfactory explanation will be
forthcoming. A MECHANIC.
