What Does This Meant

A perusal of the history of railway trans
actions during the past four years shows
us that this period has been the most dis
astrous, from financial standpoint, of any
other OF the present decade. Under the
circumstances it would almost seem as
though the further development or inn
provement of railway facilities must cease.
Yet, strange to say, many notable instances
prove that the contrary Is true. In numer-
Gus instances frst-class roads, despite the
hard times and general business depres-
sion, have made very decided advances, not
only in the improvement of the material
condition of the roadway but like.
wise the equipment and'servtce. And the
public has been a great ganer by the pub
lie spiritedness of the roads.
One of the most notable cases of rail-
way development is the Nickel Plate Road.
which seems to have forged right ahead
with its improvements and has exhibited
an unrelenting determination to give the
public the best possible facilities, in spite
of the hard times. And how well this cor.
poration has succeeded in its laudable eff
forts, the excellent condition of its SYSTEM
this success is obvious. The people have
responded very generously to a generous
effort to give them the worth of their
money. That is all. The peoples money
has enabled the road to better its facilities
in every respect; thus the work has been
" mutual anu lecipIoVii cHaiaCtel' lie
liberal patronage accorded the road has
brought handsome return to the people
in the shape of improved facilities for
travel, yet at the same time at lower rates.
And now, it seems, the Nickel Plate Road
is still engaged in further efforts to serve
the people well. 1t has highclass roadway
to begin with; most excellent equipment
to end with, and a safe, fast and reliable
service for the delectation of its patrons.
All in all, it offers most attractive menu to
travellers bound east or west in the shape

A New Park

RIVERSIDE, March 12.-When this
city bought quarry lot on the north
side of the city two years ago one of the
conditions of the sale was the donation
to the city by S. C. Evans of 10 acres of
land lying along the river bottom ada
cent to the quarry for park purposes.
Since the sale nothing has been done to
improve this park tract until last even
ing, when there was a mass meeting held
of delegates from the different churches
and societies in the city for the purpose
of arranging some plan for the improve
ment and planting of trees on the tract.
The meeting, which was called original
ly by the local G. A. r post, was enthu-
siastic, and from the steps taken it is al
most certain that those 0acres will soon
present a very different look from what
they do now 1t was decided to lay out
the tract, and to appoint an arbor day,
when all interested can come forward
and aid in the work of setting out trees
and shrubbery. The tract of land is
located admirably for park purposes, and
can in a very few years be made one of
the finest picnic grounds in this part of

PEOPLE VS.. BONDS
Rialto Irrigation District Is Again in
the Tolls


SAN BERNARDINO, March 12.-Hav-
ing been knocked out on the first round,
the people have sought state aid in their
contest with bondholders of the Rialto
Irrigation district. The ruling of the
demurrer in the case of Butterfield VS..
Weston ct al, by which the intervenors,
the bondholders, won q decided victory,
has caused the plaintiff, who is simply
a representative for the settlers, to take
a new tack and file new suit in which
the case is between the people of the
state Of California, ex-Rel. M. C. But

Dyer, q. G. Pickett, G. E. Tibbott and
Devillo Robinson, directors; James e.
Mack, secretary; J. E. Cox, assessor;
Eugene Weston, collector; and Truman
Reeves, treasurer. The plaintiff de-
mands judgment against the defendants,
that the district be declared to have no
title, rights, interest, authority, warrant
or franchise, nor ever had any to act as a
corporation, and the other defendants
have no title, franchise, authority or
right to exercise the functions Of the
respective offices they claim to exercise.
This complaint is signed by w. F. Fitz-
gerald, att6rney-general of the state of
California, and by Otis, Gregg & Hall,
attorneys for the settlers. 1t is ac-
companied by document from the at
torney general entitled, leave to Sue

More Water

POMONA, March 12.-The San Antonio
Light and Power company of Pomona
has force of men at work putting line
along Towne avenue for a distance of
about two miles, 1000 feet of which will
be laid underground. Wooden conduits
will be used in this work as an expert
ment. The line will be used to transmit
power for pumping water for irrigation
purposes from wells located in the Palo-
mares and Kingsley tracts. Power will
also be furnished the Del Monte Irriga-
tion company for two pumps in wells To-
Gated near Claremont. San Bernardino
parties are also negotiating with the
company for power delivered west of San
Bernardino for the same purpose.
Owing to the scarcity of water in the
mountain streams wells will be more
generally resorted to for irrigation than
at any previous time.

A Reckless Scorcher

RIVERSIDE, March IA. w. Cir
rard, a cycle scorcher, came very near
losing his life late last evening while en-
gagged in the dangerous work of scorch-
ing On one of the public streets of the
city. Girrard and wife were coming
down town, and passing neighbor who
was driving along in buggy Girrard
bantered the latter to race, and at once
started off down the street at rapid
rate of speed. At the corner of Eighth
and Orange streets the reckless rider
collided with a buggy, which was being
driven across the street, and the result
was to upset the buggy and throw Cir
rard violently to the ground. Girrard
was badly cut over the right eye, and
otherwise bruised up. The two men in
the buggy escaped unhurt, but their
team ran away, and the buggy was
wrecked.

of Melton Baca brought in verdict of
forgery, and the prisoner was remanded
to the sheriff to be brought up for SEN
