Against the Road Tax.

Garden of Eden, Aug 2l l9o6.
 Editor Times: There is q great deal being written and said pro and eon about the licensed saloon. 1 think the oyerburdened taxpayers, with surplus in the state and county treas ufles. should feel more interest ill the road tax than any other question to be voted on September 3rd.
 Bill Williams, the collector, paid Laughingheuse, the treasurer, in the ! fy settlement $l2. 4s9.H. Now, fellow citizens. are our roads ill half as good condition now as when we paid no tax under the old law, but worked the roads? Of course. the collector gets commission for collecting, and the treasurer com mission for paying out, and the over seers get good fat office by appoint ment. But we, the people, get noth- ing but bad roads. MT. John Gatling owns farm in Griggs township, which he values at S60, GOO, and although he has spent hundreds of dollars on the public roads, and built bridge him. self independent of the road tax, it is almost impossible today to get to his farm in a buggy. From what l can learn this same condition exists in every township and road district in the county.
 l would suggest that we, the voters. on the third day of September next, be like they were on the dayof Pente- cost, ''of one accord in one place" ." and let Us vote down the road tax. and our next legislature may give uS a law requiring roads to be worked as they should. by taxation-le out under contract by the mile, to the lowest and best bidder with gilt edge bond.

HARTMAN PLANS
TROLLEY FEEDERS
BUYS RIGHT OF WAY TO SANTA
BARBARA
syndleates Get Vast Tracts In Los An
ueles and Ventura Counties paral-
lellns the Southern Pacific.
Railroad Budget

Los Angeles capital, headed by e. II.
Hartman, is credited with having pur-
chased control of a right of way large
ly paralleling the Southern Pacific,
which will be the nucleus for a system
of electric feeders for that system.
Trolley cars will be run near the
ocean edge of Los Angeles county and
Ventura county as far north as Santa
Barbara, with spurs extending into the
country districts. They will have their
southern terminus in the new million
dollar station at Fourth and Hill
streets, Los Angeles
These will stimulate not only pas
senger traffic, but freight, including
orchard, ranch, stock farm and pasture
products from adjacent lands.
Apparently there is division of ter
ritory, Hartman extending northward
and Huntington southwark as far as
San Diego and inland toward River
side and San Bernardino.
Hartman agents as well as those of
Senator Clark have their eyes on the
Observation-Disclosures road-the John
Burson nterprise-which will soon he
sold by order of court, thus forming
another link in the growing chain of
transportation projects dotting South
ern California.
The four capitalists said to be as
sociated with the Hartman interests
who are buying up ranches as well as
a right of way, will help to develop the
territory by selling small acreage
tracts, putting in irrigation plants and
giving the tenants perfect shipping fa-
cilities, insuring highest market prices
for their produce.
Hartman agents have purchased the
Santa Barbara electric line from the
Edison company and the antiquated
Ventura street railway, thus insuring
rights of way in Ventura county.
The Dixie Thompson ranch also fell
into the syndicate's hands, followed by
thousands of acres in the Simi, Santa
Paula and OXnard districts.
These operations are regarded as a
part of a vast and growing scheme to
give every hamlet in Southern Cali
fornia electric as well as steam Service.

GRAN TED DIVORCE
AFTER FIVE DAYS
JUDGE BECOMES WEARY OF
TRIAL
Decree Given on Testimony That
Husband "kicked" on Pie That
Was Not Like His
Mothers

After five days of bitter contest be-
fore Judge James of department Z of
the superior court, Mrs. Lillian w.
Curtis yesterday won her interlocutory
decree of divorce from DR.. Charles G.
Curtis, together with an equal division
of the property and an order from the
court restraining DIR. Curtis from an
noying her at her home.
The case has been one of the most
bitterly fought of any of the divorce
proceedings of the year, Mrs. Curtis
accusing her husband of having been
extremely cruel to her and he answer
ing with a like allegation.
The entire first and second day of
the trial was occupied alone by the
testimony of Mrs Curtis, who stated
her grievances at length. She had
married DR.. Curtis, a man much older
than herself, in 1897, and from that time
on they had anything but love feast
at their home.
The physician, according to the testi-
mony of the woman. became trouble
some about the house and annoyed
the roomers. Mrs. Curtis is owner of
one of the down town hotels and the
couple went to live at the place.
Pie Not Like Mothers
According to the testimony Of the wo-
man, her husband flew in a terrible
rage because he did not like the kind
of pies served him at one of his meals.
Mrs. Curtis further testified that ON
one occasion her husband took possess
sion of the house, locking himself in
the office and refusing to admit amy
one.
I'VE did the best we could, but we
could not get him to leave" testified
the woman at the trial.
Il called through the door to him
and tried to tell him that 1t was put
ting the house in a bad light for him
TO hold up the place that way but still
that did no good. The clerk made fran
tic efforts to get into the room, for the

Thinks Stockholders Sanction It
SEEKS INDUSTRIAL PEACE

For the purpose of organizing a local
branch of the National Industrial
Peace association p. H. Scullin, gem
eral secretary of the association, is in
Los Angeles by authority of the board
of directors with letters of introduce
ton from many eminent citizens of
this and other states, all of whom
highly indorse the movement. Mr..
Scullin also comes here with the edi-
torial Endorsement of the press from
San Francisco to Washington, d. q.
With reference to the association Mr..
Scullin said last night:
THE National Industrial Peace as
sociation had it's first origin from the
speech delivered by Theodore Roose-
welt in 1900 in one of his campaign
speeches. l read the speech in a news
paper in Seattle, where was residing,
and it gave me the idea to formulate
a plan for harmonizing the interests
of the employers, employees and the
public. then formulated crude plan
and presented it to the Carpenters
union, the Master Builders association
and the Building Trades council of
Seattle.
ter Builders and the Carpenters union,
but was rejected by the other unions
of the building trades.
The result is that the carpenters
of Seattle have never been on a strike.
They have the eight-hour day, half
holiday on Saturday and have received
an advance from 81 to $5 per day to
begin January 1. and they are the
proud possessors of hall and grounds
valued at 100000 owned by a mem
bership Of 1900.
Il then saw that through certain
men who We're making a profession OF
bringing about labor troubles for their
own benefit 1t was impossible to bring
about Industrial peace without the co.
operation OF the best elements OF all
classes"

season I would favor an agreement by
which we might go ahead with our an
nexation projects unhampered by law
suits.
Mr.. Huntington and other owners of
the grounds, 1 believe, are tired of the
trouble the race track is causing and
would be glad enough to let 60 after
the present season is ended.
THE only way any compromise could
be reached, enabling the annexation to
be unmolested would be by the city
council repeating the ordinance against
pool selling, while restricting such
gambling to the race track inclosure,
and follow it up by new ordinance
forbidding the sale tof pools after the
date of the seasons close. This would
enable us to go ahead with our plans at

register was in the office and several
guests had to be charged what the
clerk thought was right because we
could keep no tab on them. The guests
could not register or see their bills, and
all the time DR.. Curtis pretended that
he was asleep. He had thrown most
of the things out of the Office before
he had locked himself inside.
THE next day 1 managed to get him
to open the door and, by hiring a
watchman to sit in the doorway all day,
managed to keep the door open. My
husband later accused me of having
stolen silver vase which belonged to
him and which he had thrown out of
the Office along with other things when
he took possession"
Husband Contests
Mrs. Curtis recited other instances of
petty annoyance by the score and her
husband returned like allegations.
In that way the case dragged on for
five days, both husband and wife con-
testing every step of the way.
Late yesterday afternoon Judge
James refused to listen to further evil
dence about to be introduced
Il have listened to this case now for
the past five days" said the judge. 1T
is evident to me that these people can
never live together again. They have
tried as hard as possible and have be-
gun all over several times. 1t is not
extreme cruelty as the wife alleges,
but rather incompatability which
causes this divorce There Is no use
in people being compelled to live to-
gether when they cannot get along.
Mrs Curtis is granted her divorce and
one-half of the property"

BLUBEARD MYSTERY KILLED
Twenty-eieht Pairs of Women's Shoes
Found Where Thief Had
Thrown Them

A near" mystery was reported at
the sheriff's office yesterday when the
driver of a wagon for local brewery
reported to Sheriff White the discovery
of twenty-eight pairs of women's shoes,
found in ditch near the Pasadena
road.
At first the mystery workers began to
imagine the presence of some modern
Bluebeard or Johann Hoch who might
have slain twenty-eight wives and left
their shoes as evidence in the ditch.
Deputy Sheriff Gilbert brought the
shoes to Los Angeles. They were all
new shoes of varying sizes and it is
supposed some tramp stole them from
a freight car and left them in the
ditch with the intention of returning
later for them

F. A. Delano, president of the Wa
bash, goes further than James j. Hill,
president of the Great Northern road,
in the belief that the railroads of this
country have not kept pace with the
growth of the increase of traffic. Mr..
Delano shows that from 1890 to 1905 the
miles of main line increased go 3-5 per
cent and the total mileage, including
yards and sidings, increased AL per
cent. During the same period the ton
miles of freight, which is the total

Seventy Roads Assess Charges

Present indications are that the
charge of so cents a day for cars which
are detained over the allotted time by
the railroad agreement is to become
general. Seventy of the leading roads
in the country have entered the agree
ment and the other roads will doubtless
follow in the near future.
