marshal was asked to give an opinion on
the effect of the present ordinance on the
liquor traffic. He reported that there was
| more beer drinking than he had ever
known in the city, and he attributed the

A case of Importance and general inter-
est is on trial in the superior court Judge
Ballard of Orange county on the bench.
1t is the suit of E. H. Gruwell, county re-
corder against the county to recover some
5000 fees for recording under the new
county government bill. Before the law
was changed the recorder received a sal
airy of $4,000, and had to pay his own assist
ants to do all the work required of his
office. the change was to fix his salary
at $l200 year and allow him cents per
folio for recording. The supervisors re-
fused to pay his bills for folio work on the
ground that the change in the law had the
effect of increasing the salary The court
took the case under advisement
The supervisors were in session all day
today, but did not transact any but rou-
tine business. Tomorrow, however, the
court house matter comes up and will like
ly be finally decided. The matter of re-
moving District Attorney Gill from office
is not likely to come up. Mr.. Gill and the
board, 1t is believed, have kissed and

and wife arrived in this city from Wash
ington Saturday evening and will remain
with relatives until the latter part of the
week, when they will go on to their home
at San Luis Obispo. Mr.. Barlow, in COM
pany with Assemblyman Toland and other
prominent gentlemen will make visit to
Pine mountain in few days in order to
gather accurate information regarding
that region, which 1t is proposed to convert
into a government reserve, and to which
end our congressman has already taken
the intiiatory steps before the interior de-
partment. The slopes of Pine mountain,
which lies just back of the Ojai valley,
are now pastured by sheep men, who burn
and destroy the young timber and drive
the game out of the country. By making it
government reserve a stop will be put
to this destruction and the timber will
grow up and be of vast benefit in preserv-
ing the snow and water fall so much needed
by the ranchers of the valley.
The contractors and surveyors who will
build the Ojai Valley railroad arrived in
Ventura yesterday. Their material will
