HUENEME-SANTA M0NlCAR0AD
BEING BUILT
OPENS UP BEET COUNTRY
Much Land Being Purchased North Of
Santa Monica by Real Estate
Men Who Have Heard
of Plans

Largest and most far-reaching of the
electric railway enterprises to be un-
dertaken by H. e. Huntington is the
building of a coast line between Santa
Monica and Hueneme, distance of
sixty-seven miles, the completion of
which, it is stated on reliable authority,
will be accomplished within the next
eighteen months
The statement giving the details of
the proposition to bind Los Angeles
with the cities of the north by rapid
transit line was unwittingly made pub
lie yesterday by person having close
understanding of Mr.. Huntington s
plans.
1t is stated that the road will be of
standard gauge and will open up a
large territory for beet sugar and bean
growing, which has hitherto been left
untouched by agriculturists because of
its inaccessibility and lack of transpor-
tation facilities. A number of places
along the right of way on the coast
offer abundant facilities for the max
ing of beach resorts.
1t is further stated that the con-
struction work is to be carried on un-
der the name of the Ventura and Bak-
ersfeld Railway company, of which
Eben Smith is president, Mai. H. M.
Russell general manager, both of Los
Angeles, and r. M. Burson, a promoter
of Hueneme, also an official
Eleven Miles Graded
Eleven miles of grading now already
completed out of Hueneme are reported
to be part of the construction work
on the new line.
Certain parties who have been given
an intimation of what is about to take
place returned yesterday from points
north of Santa Monica, where they
made purchases of land and took large
options on other property. Frederick
H. Rindge, president of the Conserva-
tive Life Insurance company. who for
years past has possessed large land
holdings in and around Santa Monica,
is said to be one who will profit by
his cognizance of Mr.. Huntington's
plans by making other Investments
This could not be verified. as Mr..
Rindge is in the north and could not
be reached by telegraph last night.
Maj. Russell was interviewed yester-
day at his office in the Wilcox building
He stated that he knew nothing about
a Hueneme- Santa Monica line. and fol-
lowed this remark in response to a
question as to where the line on which
grading is now in progress will termin'
ate by saying he did not know with
in the next two weeks believe We
shall be willing to make public oul
plans" he said. but at this time dc

Burson was i'm Los Angeles Wednes'
day night to confer with officials OF
his company and returned to Huenem'
yesterday morning. When seen at tho
Hollenbeck wednesday evening he ex
hibited a close understanding of th'
conditions which would have to b'
overcome. but like Maj. Russell wat

AGED POOR FARM WARD
SUFFERS MEMORY LAPSE
UNABLE TO FIND WAY ABOUT
YARD ALONE
Often Wanders From institution and
Is Lost in Adjoining Forest for
Several Days Because of Inability
to Remember Directions

Bowed with age, yet able to fight for
mis- rights, "Pappie" Aikens, 80 years
of age, and known to officials at the
county poor farm as the nestor of that
institution, appeared before the insan-
ity commission in Judge Wilbur's court
yesterday afternoon and, after nearly
an hour of examination, convinced the
commissioners he was only suffering
with loss of memory and not with in
sanity.
Aikens, according to statements of
the county farm officials, has been caus-
ing all kinds of trouble during the past
year. If allowed to stray fifty feet from
the building, he becomes lost and is un-
able to find his way back.
Lost for Eight Days
On one occasion it is said "Pappie"
started to the poor farm stable. When
ne reached a point about midway be-
tween the buildings, he becomes bewil-
6ered and wandered into the woods and
was gone eight days.
He was returned by a deputy sheriff,
who found him sleeping under tree.
How the old man survived the exposure
is mystery to the officials, but Pap
pie" asserted he had been fed by kind
hearted people along the route and the
officials accepted the explanation.
