In a report received at Southern Pa

dent Engineer Ellison, now supervising
the work of making repairs on the road
bed of the Southern Pacific in the Salton
sea district, It Is stated that IL the in
take of the California Development
companys irrigation works is handled
properly no alarm need be felt concern
ing the safety Of railroad property.
Since Tuesday section crews from
Los Angeles to Indio. with hundreds Of
other laborers, have been hastened to
the flood district in the vicinity Of the
Salton sea.
When Superintendent II. v. Plat ar
rived on the scene last Tuesday 1t was
thought that the track would have to
be raised and detouf made. Mr.. Eli
son, in his report says neither is now
considered necessary.
Three miles of Southern Pacific tracks
have been exposed to the waves. At
noon yesterday two and one-fourth
miles had been entirely protected BY
banks of sand and gravel against wash
ing and waves driven by ordinary
winds. The remaining exposed portion
of the line It was expected to thor
oughly protect by 6 o'clock last night.

for Outrage
Aroused by the sight of team Of
horses, one with a nearly hoofless foot
and the other with great sores on its
hind legs and body, a crowd of angry
citizens vainly attempted to prevent
w. P. Williamson from driving away
from the side entrance of the Hollen-
beck hotel without changing teams. So
horrible was the sight of the miserable
animals drawing the heavy oil wagon
that busy professional men stopped TO
join the throng about the driver.
When Superintendent thinner Of the
Los Angeles Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals appeared. over
a score of cards were thrust at him by
prominent citizens who were desirous
to testify in the case when brought.
Within a short time Mr.. thinner ap-
peared before Judge Rose and secured
two warrants, one for the arrest of
Williamson and another for George
Kinganan, the foreman of the oil
wagon line.
Officer thinner said the oil wagon
and team are owned by Mrs Emma A.
Summers. He also says that Kinga-
nan has been repeatedly warned not
to drive horses In the condition of his
team yesterday.

cents box, but the icing commences
in April, when 40 per cent of the crop
still remains to go forward.
In figuring $7,253, 1880 as the returns
to the growers, an average. price of
seventy-five cents box is used. One
company handling IS per cent of the
crop states that the prices it has re-
ceived will average slightly over that
amount.
For the transportation of the fruit,
the railroads have received an amount
OF 81, $50, ,627.50 over that paid the grow
ers. In other words, the producer gets
about IL per cent less than the car
rier. not considering the icing charges,
which on the 40 per cent of the crop
at twenty cents box amounts to a
considerable sum.
This is one of the reasons why the
large shippers have been waging q
war for lower price freight charges

Predictions overthrown
At the opening of the season, grow
ers and shippers united in a predic-
ton that this seasons crop would not
be more than per. cent of that of last
year. 1t will exceed last years figures
by fully per cent. This is due to two
causes, first a slightly increased acre
age and secondly the fact that many
thousands of trees are just attaining
the haarino age

pect it to be in the history of the cit

ANSWER IN
RAILWAY SUIT
CITY ATTORNEY DENIES PLEA
AS URGED
UPH0LDS ACTION OF THE CITY
Contends That Council Cannot Grant
Franchises Except by Consent Of
Mayor or by Acting Over
His Veto
JPHoLDS ACTION OF THE CITY

City Attorney Mathews yesterday
filed his replication to the brief of
Judge Chapman in the proceedings
brought by the city against A. N. Da-
wilson in the superior court, to prevent
him from building a street railway on
Vermont avenue between Tenth and
Eleventh streets.
In his brief Mr. Mathews argues
that the franchise granted by the city
council is void and of no effect, because
it was not approved by the mayor
within the time limit prescribed by
law; that the mayor has the authority
of law for this action; that the fran
chise is an ordinance and non-effec-
tive until signed by the mayor or re-
passed over his veto, which was not
done; that the franchise is for a period
of thirty-one years, in violation Of the
amendments to the city charter which
were ratified by the Legislature before
the veto of the mayor; that the action
of the city in the premises is proper
and according to law and should be
sustained.
History of Case
The history of the proceeding Is BRIEF
ly as follows:
Davidson secured franchise from
the city on February 6 for the con-
struction of a street railway on Yer
mont avenue between Tenth and
Eleventh streets. The mayor opposed
1t and held the ordinance granting the
franchise for the ten day limit, which
expired February i6 In the mean
time the legislature ratified the city
charter amendments which reduced the
life of franchises from thirty-one years
to twenty-one years. On that date he
returned the ordinance to the city
council without his approval and the
council did not pass it over his veto.
Afterwards, Davidson was notified to
call on the city treasurer for his pur-
chase price, $500, which he paid for the
franchise. He refused to do so and no.
titled the city that he would proceed to
build the street railway under the
terms of the franchise granted. The
city filed suit to prevent him from pro-
ceeding without a franchise.
chapman's Contention
Judge Chapman filed a brief denying
the right Of the city to repudiate the
franchise. contend4ng that the law
compelled the city council to sell the
franchise to the highest bidder ana
permitted of no choice by that body.
He alsoacontends that the mayor has
no veto authority in the premises, as
the law directs that the franchise shall
be awarded to the highest bidder, and
that Davidson was the highest bidder
in this case and received legal fran
chise.
1t is believed that the case will be
fought as test OF the law and of the
charter amendments and will be car
ried to the supreme court Of the United
States before finally adjudicated. The
prospects for a bitter and long drawn
out fight in the courts Is first class.

CITRUS FRUIT SEASON NETS
ROADS MORE THAN GROWERS
ALL PREVIOUS RECORDS ARE SURPASSED
ALL PREVIOUS
AS Charges for Hauling Great Crop of Southern California
Carrying Lines Get II Per Cent More Money
Than Do Producers

AS their charges for hauling the cit
rus fruit crop of Southern California
to the eastern markets, the railroads
have received this season to date an
amount in excess of $S,7O3765. The
growers have received $7,253,137.50.
The sum paid out for picking, packing
and packing materials and selling ex-
ceeds 3,432, ,SS5.75.
These figures, prepared from inter-
views with railroad officials and ship
pers and from official reports, amply
sustain the claims made for Southern
California as being the largest citrus
fruit growing district in the world.
All records of previous years have
been broken and the prospects for the
coming season are for more abun-
dant crop than that of any other pre-
ceeding year.
Conservative estimates for the citrus
fruit year, which ends November 2,
1906 places the yield at $4,000 cars, or
HOO cars in excess of last years ban
ner crop.
Up until last night 1881 cars left
Southern California for the eastern
markets. This represents a grand to-
tai of s,e7O,S5O boxes.
The citrus fruit year commences and
ends November g. The following fig
ures are for the past three years:

Railroads Grateful

The railroads feel that they have
cause to be grateful to nature and the
grower. The sum of $S,703.765, which
they have thus far received is based
on the average cost of ninety cents a
box for freight and does not include
icing charges of twenty cents a box.
All the figures quoted are placed upon
the lowest possible basis. For instance,

charges at ninety cents, is rated at two
