Will Close Large Deal
A large deal will be closed up in
Riverside this week by which Vail &
Gates will become owners of the 1000
acre Pauba ranch, which includes the
town site Of Temecula, and the 22OO-
acre Temecula ranch which lies just
east of the Temecula station The price
for these properties is not made public
but is said to run well into the thou
sands of dollars.
The firm will use the properties in
carrying on their extensive cattle in
terests, they being owners of the War
ner ranch and extensive ranch proper
ties in Arizona. The low lands of these
ranches will be sown to alfalfa and will
be used largely for stopping place for
cattle being brought into the Los An
gees market to get them in prime con-
diton before taking them into that city
or surrounding markets.
To Guard Against Tuberculosis
Many prominent citizens of Redlands
are becoming aroused over the danger
of infection there from the numerous
tubercular patients who visit that city
and are urging action on the part Of
the city trustees to enact stringent or
dinances regarding them. The COM
plant is made that these people are
very careless about communicating their
surroundings, endangering others who
are free from the disease.
Many times houses are rented by con-
sumptives and rerented without being
disnfected Often families containing
tubercular patients rent house and
furnish It, then after the person dies
the furniture is sold and scattered and
the house again rented. there being
absolutely no disinfection.
The claim is made that this condition
of affairs is driving away desirable
tourists. and the city trustees will be
asked to take cognizance of it.
Devotes Life to Corporation
Thomas Saunders, crossing watch
man for the Santa F'e in Redlands for
n number of years, has been taken to
Los Angeles hospital for treatment for
rheumatism and paralysis, but owing
to his age 1t is believed he cannot re-
cover.
Saunders, while occupying this humble
position for years, was at one time one
of the best known officials of the Santa
Fe system. For some years he was
superintendent of the Colorado division
of that road and had much to do with
the developing of the line through
Texas, Colorado, New Mexico and Ari-
zona. Too close application to his
duties broke down his health and he
was sent to San Diego as yardmaster,
but continued falling health caused him
to be sent to Redlands as crossing man,
where he has been for some years.
He Is being cared for by the corpora
ton that he has served so faithfully so
many years, in fact has given his
life to.
