MATCHES HIS CRAFT.
!. AGAINST HUNTINGTON.

A few days after Frank permitted his
feeling with reference to Sherman to
explode he wrote Dick he was on the
point of assassinating Dyer. In giving
expression, however. to his thirst for
blood Frank permitted a second
thought to intrude and allowed himself
to realize that the death of Dyer would
bring no money to the Pacific Bank.
He wrote as follows:
=: Il have worked early and late to get
things as far as they are, for I have
to do everything myself. Even Dyer
PSokes So ip giving the data faa about ,ts his
ing him., but that would not bring US
our money, and there are lots of these
things that only keep and work out
!; But the thing from which I hope the
most and which l feel we can all take
If SO, it win only be the beginning OF
q great day for our institution and
ourselves individually, is plan have
worked out to. place section of the
Mohawk land. on the market in an
orange grove something like the AL
'varado coupon stock scheme of which
you know. AS a proposition I think
1t beats anything ever saw in attrac-
tiveness, and the best of 1T is, It's
true. If we can only: get this thing
started, 1t will be a mint to roll money
much of it for so long, and it, will all
be under our control. We call the
company the Mohawk Valley Orange
.64OO shares at 500. a share, yielding
$64O 900, allowing 10 per cent for COM :
missions. etc., in starting, leaving
Pacific Bank. L to be the. treasurer
and one of the trustees for the seven
years management. So You see the
money will stay with us.
Conf1dentially, Edminster, you and
each: to get. $42 900 out of 1T at the end
of seven years, each year $1,000 apiece

F. other trustee SIS 600 and the Mohawk

here in business is so slow it fairly
drives you wild.
at once and find out whether our sec
':tion five in: Mohawk is all proved up
and ready for transfer. because at a
very early date / wish it decided to the
New Orange Grove and Fruit Com
pany. suppose much of what l am
writing seems like wild nonsense, but
I hope the sequel will not so prove.
But this Is only one of many sources
from which in due, time a harvest will
/: come.
:. Dyer saw Huntington and is to see
him again soon. with Stubbs II. is
bitter against Fred Crocker for buy
ing that. Redland road, then not get
ting possession, OF 1t; He les; says IS ne.
amines them. He is willing to pur-
chase, but says 1928 900 is too high for
control of the road; talks about $780,
900 being all that it is worth: Says
he is going to be out there in Noyem-
ber and will look at the road, and If
acceptable will probably purchase if
terms can be agreed upon.
He has bought Mrs. Colton's place
and expects to make San francisco
his headquarters in the future, spend
ing much of his time there. He talks
bitterly about Fred Crocker, and evil
IDENTIFY does not like him for standing
up for Stanford. H. Is very unin--
formed about Southern California, and
has absurd ideas of It's resources and
possibilities. OF course he is trying
to- bear the property, but all the same
he displays great lack of concise in
formation of that part of our State.
1 am doing all can TO bring this mat
ter to a head, but whether anything
comes of 1t 1 am unable to say. How
eyer, we are not looking back, but
ahead. Your loving brother,
FRANK
