Grafton branch around by Highland tc
this city, and also an extension of its
Riverside line to the Corona orange dis
trict Both Highland and Corona dis
tricts are now exclusively Santa Fe ter
cars of oranges annually the Southern
Pacific naturally desires to tap them.
The completion of the loop line in this
valley would entail the building of but
few miles of track and would give the
Hartman interests a better loop line
than that of the Santa Fe, as it would
take in large district.
The California Citrus Union packing
house at Cotton is reporting some good
prices for Mediterranean sweets
shipped this summer. In the first pool
the fancy fruit netted the growers $2,6S
per 100 pounds or $1.79 per box, and the
shoice $2.1S per 100 pounds or $1.4S per
box. The second and last pool was even
better than the first, netting the growers
S2.74 per 100 pounds for $1.S6 per box for
fancy fruit and SLIGO per box or $2.35 per
100 pounds for choice The average
price netted to the growers for all
grades, including culls, was 1928.
The date of October has been fixed
for the dedication of the new First
Baptist church. The services will be of
an elaborate character and will include
a number of speakers from the various

church is just now nearing completion

Buchanan made a desperate attempt
at Louisville to bribe the officers to
allow him to escape, and then fought

three Of the best attorneys in the city
