RIVERSIDE COUNTY
RIVERSIDE

RIVERSIDE, Dec. 27.-(Regular Cor
respondence.) Today was the day set
for the postponed sale of the furnish
ings of the Rowell hotel, which has been
closed under attachment for some weeks.
The furniture was purchased by the
company which holds the mortgage
against the property, the German Saw
ings and Loan Society of Oakland, for
the sum of $21OO. The house will, SO it is
understood, be opened at once by H. w.
Bordwell, one of the trustees of the city,
who is an old hotel keeper.
The officers are looking for the man
who stole whole load of Christmas tur-
keys from a resident Of the Corona Sec
ton the day before the holiday. The
thief and birds were traced almost to this

were sold here.
The case of ]. F. Miner was called in
the superior court today again for about
the sixth time. This time Miner was
up to hear what decision the court would
make in the motion of his attorney for a

give the opinion and the case went over
until next Monday.
City Tax Collector Marshal Wilson has
succeeded in collecting all but about
$4,000 of the tax levy for the city for this
year. The levy was about $45000, show
ing that he did very well, considering the
fact that the city authorities changed
the time of delinquency from March back
to December, and many taxpayers did
not post themselves on this important
fact in time. Marshal Wilson expects
that he will be able to collect more than
half Of the delinquent $4,000 before the
date at which the property will have to
be sold.
The Ladies' Circle of the Woodmen of
the World will give social in Odd Eel

man thirteen acres of land on Victoria

sidered big buy by those qualified to
Judge. Mr.. Ormand will improve the
property at once.
H. K. Pratt, the we'll known Redlands
orange dealer, was in the city yesterday.
The weather here is warming up fast.
and the result Is that oranges are rapid

A PENSION RULE
Action Taken to Prevent Delay of
Business

WASHINGTON, Dec. PA commit
tee order was today presented which it
is believed will expedite the disposition
of pension claims now pending. The
order was issued by Commissioner
Evans and is as follows: Hereafter
claims for an increase of pension will
not be considered within twelve months
from the last action or rejection
'"rhe necessity of the new order," said
an official of the Pension Bureau today,
grows largely out of the calls for a
statement of the status of the pending
cases by means of Congress These calls
have been answered to the exclusion OF
other claims pending which should be
taken UP in their order. 1t is only fair
to those cases which have not had any
consideration that they should be taken
up as promptly as possible. The office
does not think that injustice or hardship
will result to claimants by refusing to
reconsider case, after it has been once
acted on, for period of twelve months.
If pension Is allowed new disability
of such character to bring about se-
riOus results Is not likely to develop
within that period while if the claim is
rejected because of lack of disability
the claimant in all probability will not
become so disabled within the twelve
months as to make the postponement OF
the case hardship. The order is alb
solutely necessary for the prompt pro-
secution of the work of the Bureau and
its enforcement will aid materially in
bringing this about
Commissioner Evans, of the Pension
Bureau, has in preparation an order
to be addressed to members of Congress
asking them to desist from making
special calls concerning the status, etc.,
Of cases, in order that the business of
the office may not be delayed unduly
by the required time in answering them.

AZUSA

AZUSA. Dec. 27.-(Regular Cores
pOndence.) The officers of the Azusa
Citrus association met last week to con-
slider the eastern market situation. and
the conditions surrounding the fruit at
this end of the line. The association has
shipped seventeen carloads of fruit, and
1t Is arriving and selling at it's destina-
tion in good condition, and at very sat-
isfactory figures, and the prospect is
good for continuation of favorable sales
ON all the fruit shipped.
In talking over the frost effects all
over Southern California, the board
finally decided to hold its fruit until the
conditions in localities acknowledged to
be damaged by frost had been heard
from. We understand similar action has
been taken by the Covina and Glendora
associations. The board takes the
ground that as this valley has as clean
reputation for frostless fruit as any in
the state, it would be foolish to leopard
ize 1t by rushing into the market when
localities with frozen fruit are unload

The petition for the formation of a

the boundaries. The limits have been
placed in accordance with the report of
the committee at the second meeting
held at Azusa to forward the work.
There seems to be but little opposition to
the enterprise.
