OUTLOOK FOR WALNUT
CROP Is FAVORABLE
Special to The Herald.


WHITTIER, July 9.-The outlook for
this years walnut crop is exceedingly
favorable. The yield is expected to
equal that of 1904, when 1S1 carloads
were harvested.
Regarding the production, T. l..
Gooch, president of the Los Nietos and
Ranchito Walnut Growers association,
says:
The prospect at present is that this
years walnut crop will exceed that of
last year by thirty cars. Last years
crop amounted to 15t cars, for which
the association received 1851, ,5874S A
conservative estimate places this years
crop as 181 cars equal to the yield of
1904, when the cash returns for the crop
were 1850, 1861
"At present, of course, the price is a
mere conjecture, but no reduction is
looked for in the price as last year the
supply failed to meet the demand"
An increase of thirty carloads over
last year will add $4,000 to last years
figures, and undoubtedly give the grow
ers the largest average in the history of
Southern California walnut growing.
The loss through the dropping of
diseased walnuts has been compare
lively small.
improvements are being made in, all
the packing houses, the facilities being
practically doubled compared with
those of last oar
The process of bleaching nuts has
given place to the Annison process, an
acid dip not only me e effective but
cheaper, more expedient and giving bet
ter results.

PASADENA, July 9.-For week
past IL has been impossible to reach
the summit Of Mount Wilson by tele-
phone, and persons desiring accommo-
dations at the hotel or the camps there
were Obliged to telephone to the foot
of the trail, their messages being taken
later to the proper destination by
means of the slow but sure-footed
burro train. The trouble was with the
section of the telephone wires which
cross property on the mountain side
belonging to p. ]. McNally Of this city.
Every few days Mr.. McNally was
wont to take his little shears and clip
in twain the busy wires where they
buzzed above his territory. For long
time the telephone wires connecting
the United States government forestry
nursery on Hennigers flats with the
outside world hung from these same
poles, and McNally now and then cut
these wires as he did the others.
He was frequently threatened with
arrest by the government authorities
for interfering with government prop
erty and government messages, but no
arrest was ever made. Some weeks ago
the people at the nursery discontinued
the use Of the telephone wire in ques-
ton. Last week Mr.. McNally cut the
wires again, following the act by loeat-
ing an armed man and a companion
with camera at the spot, warning the
Mount Wilson people that they would
repair the break this time at their
physical peril
Then the coon came down, or, to be
more exact, representatives Of the
Mount Wilson Toll Road company ap-
preached Mr.. McNally with a propo-
sition to settle the affair by mutual
agreement. This was finally done, and
as soon as the papers are signed tele-
phone service up the mountain side will
again be uninterrupted.

GIVES BIG IMPETUS TO
CONSOLIDATION SCHEME
SAN PEDRO coMMENDs IDEAS OF
THE HERALD
Says Editorial In Recent Issue Stated
True Desire Of All Persons In
VoIved In Annexation Plan-Want
Tangible Proposition

Special to The Herald.
SAN PEDRO, July 9.-The ever
present topic of common conversation
on the streets and in the offices of
San Pedro, consolidation or annexa-
tion with Los Angeles, has received an
impetus.
A prominent citizen and heavy tax
payer said this morning:
THAT editorial in today's Herald Is
the best thing in regard to annexation
with Los Angeles that has been put
into print. If the committee appointed
in the larger city had devoted it's time
to formulating a plan of annexation
and then come down to us with tangi-
BILE proposition which we could lay
before the people wherein the benefits
would be laid bare the question would
be better understood and probably there
would be many more in it's favor.
"WIhat San Redro wants the most of
all Is terminal rates and the people will
demand something more than q promise
from the annexation committee or the
newspapers that this will be brought
about before they will favor the move.
There should be a statement from the
head men of the railroads to that effect.
If Los Angeles Is powerful enough to
bring about these rates after consolida-
ton it is powerful enough now to Sc
cure q promise from the roads to that
effect.
"What else are we to get for being
assessed to pay for owens river water?
We do not care for the water here so
much as they do in other places. There
Is plenty of good water under the
ground which can be had cheaper than
going so far away, at least for us.
Majority Favor Plan
"I will guarantee that four-fifths of
the voters in San Pedro today will say
that they are in favor of the annexa-
tion plan if 1t can be proven to them
that it is for San Pedro's best interests.
That is the end we are all working for.
Give us terminal rates and help us to
control our wharves and we will help
to pay for the needed water for Los
Angeles.
"In my opinion it is useless for the
Los Angeles committee to go farther
in the question until it has something
tangible along this line to offer us.
Then we will take up the question seri-
ously and soon give verdict. But my
advice to the committee is the same as
that of The Heralds, Put yourself in
his place."
A number of others were interviewed
in regard to the question and they
nearly all gave the same opinion. Get
ready to frame a freeholders' charter
and, it is claimed, if that goes into
effect. it will be much harder to bring
the issue about.
The selection of competent men to
frame the freeholders' charter is con-
siderable of task The law requires
that fifteen men shall be chosen for
this purpose and their qualifications
are restricted. They must each of them
have been a continuous resident in the
city for the past five years and have
been real estate owners all of that
time.
In the city with its six thousand
people there are but few over one hun
dred men eligible to the places. OF
these many will not take it and some
are not fit for it, so that it will be quite
a difficult matter to select the required
fifteen.

PASADENA. July 9.-The meeting
of the board of equalization today was
devoted principally to the hearing of
two claims, those of c. A. Day and
L. w. Giddings, both of which were
explained in this mornings Herald.
When the objection of Mr.. Day was
put before the board search was i'm
mediately made in the books of the
city assessor to see just what figures
had been placed opposite the name of
the prominent east side leader.
Curiously enough, it was found that
his eight acres of land were there val
ued at but $10,965. Mr.. Day claims that
some one, thinking to make him appear
foolish in the eyes of his friends or
fearing his opposition to annexation,
erased the former figures of $4,000 and
substituted the new ones. Attorney
e. f. Hahn safes that he saw the for
mer figures on the book.
The board gave the laugh to Mr.. Day,
a proceeding which only served to
anger that gentleman the more He Is
not much inclined to force his way
into the city after this trick, as he
terms it, has been played upon him
than when he believed the ranch prop
erty of the east side was likely to be
assessed at an improperly high figure.
Mr.. Giddings formally opposd the
placing Of valuation of $50,000 upon
his five-acre addition to Mountain
View cemetery, especially in view of
the fact that adjacent property not
used as a cemetry is valud at only $3.50
an acre.
Assessor Kellogg informed the board
that in these five acres of land belong
ing to Mr.. Giddings are just five hun
dred burial lots, each of which the
owner holds at $3.50. In view OF this
fact Mr.. Kellogg insisted that his mod
crate figures should stand.
The board was inclined to side with
the assessor in his attitude. but post
poned action for the present. A large
number of other vigorous kicks were
entered and there are more to follow,
indicating an exceptionally busy ses-
sion and probably a long one.

PASADENA, July 9.--Interest in the
crease, although It can hardly be said
that the citizens of the west side are
showing their concern over it. Two
new sites, however, are likely to &c
into the race neck and neck with the
one on North Raymond avenue, an
nounced in this mornings Herald.
The first of these is being engineered
by A. 1. Cannon, who resides on San
Rafael Heights and owns some very
valuable business property on South
Fair Oaks avenue. Mr.. Cannon is
interesting the property owners on this
street from Colorado street to the Hote
Green in the project to keep the post
office in the immediate neighborhood
and will have considerable backing.
When the postofflce inspector or spe-
cial agent was in the city he inspected
the proposed site, but would of course
give no public opinion of it's suitable
ness. 1t is said that the site to be Of
fered Uncle Sam includes the room now
occupied by the Wells-Fargo Express
company and the two adjacent stores
owned by Mr.. Cannon. This may mean
a general shifting of all the business
offices on that side of the street from
the News office to Green street.
Other Site offered
The other site which will enter the
race is the one now occupied by the D.
c. Casterline livery stable at 160 East
Colorado street, a few doors east OF
the Southern Pacific depot.
The neighborhood has long desired
to rid itself of the livery stable and
supplant it by a business block OF
some better sort. Those who are work
ing for this site will offer the fifty feet
frontage Occupied by the livery stable
and 121s feet adjoining in order to OBJ
tain the necessary floor space desired
by the government.
AS now arranged the building has a
depth of 110 feet, with alley room at
the rear. The publication of the state
ment that Uncle Sam will not pay a
rental of more than $3.50 a month is be-
leved to be keeping some property
owners from making a proposition.
While it is unlikely that the post
office department will willingly pay a
higher rental than this it is not an
impossibility or this figure obligatory
If a suitable location cannot be secured
for the figure named it is quite possible
that more will be paid

PASADENA, July 9.-Rumors are
rife hereabouts concerning a possible
independent county ticket at the ap-
preaching election, but just how far
the movement has gone or is likely to
go it is hard to tell. A well-known
Republican, who wants to be a super
visor and has wanted it for SOME time
and insists that he was jobbed out of
the nomination at the time of the last
Republican convention, has had several
petitions out and asserts that he is
going to have 1000 signatures to place
him on an independent ticket.
1t is freely asserted here that Ben
Ward says that if he is defeated in the
convention for the nomination of coun-
ty assessor he will certainly make the
run on an independent ticket.
Ward is an old Pasadena boy, and
II that other Crown city faVorite son,
Cal Hartwell, gets the nomination, as
he seems bound to do, the race between
the two would be pretty one, with the
result in some doubt.
AT one time it looked as though FL
meT I. Moody would be forced to make
the run for state senator on an inde-
pendent ticket, but today that popular
young attorney came out hatfooted
with a statement that he will be a
candidate for the regular party nom
nation, at the same time naming the
following Republicans who will have
his candidacy in charge: Executive F.

chimes and party cliques, opposes the
examining of the statute books with a
great bulk of unnecessary laws, favors

ty, favors uniform marriage and di-
