REDLANDS, June 25.-(Regular Corre-
spondence.) The funeral of DR.. VIM. E.
Lockwood, who died in this city Wednesday
afternoon, was held from his late residence
this afternoon. The death of DR.. Lock-
wood is regarded by all who knew him as
distinct loss to Redlands. He was grad

partments Of Yale university and after
wards an instructor in the same college.
Later he was appointed fellow in phys
iology at Clark university Worcester,
Mass. Here his health broke down from
overwork. He came to Redlands in 1892.
Although he suffered constantly from a
complicatio of diseases, finally ending in
consumption. yet he was one of the un-
complaining men whose physical condition
always seems to be better than it really is,
and his death was sudden and unexpected.
In his social, church and business rela-
tions he had the universal respect and es-
TEEN of all his associates. He leaves a
widow and two children.

RIVERSIDE

RIVERSIDE, June 25.-(Regular Corre-
spondence.) This is the season when the re-
ports go out that the oranges are all drop
ping off the trees. Some of them are drop
ping-more than the growers like to see
but the most reliable information indi-
Gates that there is little cause to be
alarmed. The outlook for seedlings Is bet
ter than last year, that is, the outlook
was worse last year than this and yet we
had a fair crop. Proportionately speaking.
1t would seem from reports that navels are
dropping worse than seedlings, but it must
be taken into consideration that one navel
counts for two or more seedlings in the
market. which bases the judgment of
growers. One other thing should be borne
in mind in estimating the situation. towit.
that this years crop set fuller than for
many years, giving promise of an enorm-
Gus yield: therefore, the dropping may be
very heavy and yet leave a fine crop on
the trees. But after all is said and done,
the fact remains that the consensus of the
best opinion is to the effect that too many
oranges are dropping
A joint committee of the Riverside hor-
ticultural clubs has prepared a list of
subjects from which to select topics for
discussion during the ensuing term and for
presentation at the congress of clubs to be
held in Los Angeles next winter. They are
as follows: Rural Mail Delivery" GLOW

The Herald has made arrangements for

newspaper train will be started on the
Terminal railway, leaving this city at $3.50

popular.

ANAHEIM, June 25-(Regular Corre-
spondence.) The question as to who will
succeed Mrs. Maria j. Gardiner as pest
master of this city is now agitating the
minds of citizens. There are four candi-
dates in the field. and the friends of each
are working very hard and the contest is
becoming interesting to those who are not
in position to take an active part in the
fight Sheldon Littlefeld, an old-time resi-
dent and one of the best citizens, is clearly
the choice of the Republicans, but it is
never certain who will secure a govern
ment position until the battle is won.
The work on the new electric light plant
and water system is nearing completion
and in few days Anaheim will be pro-
vided with an electric light plant and a
water system that is second to no city of it's
size in the state, and the beauty of the
whole business is that the city owns it.
The supervisors are having about a mile

dition.
