A Boom Relic

RIVERSIDE, March 19-The South
ern Pacific company today began tear
ing up the old motor track on First
street. This track is one of the relics
of boom days, for it was put down in
those days by a company composed of
Riverside and San Bernardino boomers
prominent among the number being j.
Button of Cotton and o. T. Dyer of this
city. When the motor road was first
projected it was the intention of the
promoters to run the road as far south
as Corona, but the capital gave out by
the time the road was completed be-
tween this city and San Bernardino. The
original company struggled along under
a load of debt for several years. Finally
the line went into the hands of a receiver,
and later on it became the property Of the
Southern Pacific company, which COM
pany has greatly improved it in the past
few months. The company has no fur
ther use for the line on First street, for
the reason that a new cutoff line has
been opened north of that street.

The liquor question. which has always
been an important and disturbing factor
in municipal elections in this city, has
been eliminated this time by both par
ties pledging their candidates to give the
city a high-Ilcense or prohibition ordi-
nance, in accordance with the expressed
will of the people at the polls. The cleo
ton. which will take place on April 11th,
promises to be hot one nevertheless

there is quite large share Of the peo-
pie who think that the present rates

Oxnard News

OXNARD, March 19.-Vice- e-President
H. E. Huntington and Chief Engineer
Hood of the Southern Pacific system
inspected the new roadbed from Mon
talvo to the sugar factory yesterday.
Paper Carrier Adamson. at the sugar
factory has built up prosperous route
in this neighborhood, having many sub
scribers of The Herald, of which he is
the local agent.
The magnificent brick office building
is going up rapidly at the sugar factory.
The beet sheds are also under good head
way, over 260,OOO feet of lumber being
required.
The factory officials entertained the
newspaper men last Tuesday Repre-
sentatives of Los Angeles journals were
present.
The railroad people are erecting their
new depot near the sugar factory.
Chris Reiman, formerly of Los An
geles, is building $4,000 hotel opposite
the new town of Oxnard.
Robert Oxnard of the Oxnard COM
pany, who has been inspecting the prog
ress at the subar factory, departed for
San Francisco Tuesday.
Some friction has occurred between the
VIII udNC Sl6ACQ COHlldClS Will
the factory people over planting beets
this dry season. The farmers are satis-
fled that the seed will not grow, and the
factory officials think that it will and
are insisting that the necessary acreage
be sown. Nevertheless we note consid-
cradle land being prepared for planting.
Some farmers aver that they will stand
suit rather than buy seed and plant it.
A good soaking rain In the next few
weeks would relieve the tension.
The sugar factory will be completed by
July, so says Manager Duff1ll.
Ventura county is being exploited for
lime rock, numerous samples bein test
ed from all parts of the county.
A prominent official of the Oxnard COM
pany states that at least 5000 acres will
be planted to sugar beets In the valley
this season. The contracts with the
farmers call for 10000 acres, but owing
to the dry season only the best land
will be planted.

Riotous Railroad Rumors

SANTA BARBARA, March 19.-Rail-
road rumors are becoming ludicrous
Today the city was thrown into high
fever by the statement that train had
passed through before daylight. bear
ing one thousand men, many mules and
carts and other implements for the i'm
mediate commencement of work at ELL
wood. 1t was also stated that con-
struction train would arrive later in the
day.
Inquiry at the railroad offices brought
out the information that nothing but
the regular train went out to Ellwood
Santa Barbara people have been SO
often deceived by unfounded reports dur
ing the past ten years that nothing but
through train from San Francisco by
way of the "shore line" will convince them
that work has actually been commenced.
In other words, they will believe that
Huntington intends "to push it through
to rapid completion" when it is finished.
The many stories that have been circu-
lated of late are discredited here. No
great addition to the force at Surf has
been made yet; neither is one probable,
although a small increase has been, or
soon will be, made.

Debatable SURVEYS

SANTA BARBARA, March 10. - Ar
interesting fight is promised over the

conflicting surveys of Santa Barbara

ions to date have not conficted, but
there has now appeared another liti-
giant who threatens to test the matter
once again.
by these decisions, ordered the city mar
shall to remove fences that project into

room. There she stood until her trunk
