TO RUN PROPERTY LARGELY
AS PUBLIC PLEASURE PARK

REDLANDS, Dec. 26.-The most i'm
portant sale in real estate made in this
section for several months was closed
this week when w. S. Fletcher of Los
Angeles and Pasadena purchased 24O
acres just west of Iona Linda through
the agency of the Williams-Curtis COM
pany. The property is known as the
James Stuart ranch and has been
owned for the past few years by j. H.
Kelly.
the purchaser proposes to develop
the property as a residence place for
his two sons, and a large force of men
will be at work soon setting out twen-
ty acres of oranges, while several arte-
sian wells will be drilled and surface
water developed. He will also do much
to make this a pleasure ground, having
1t surrounded with a high mesh wire
that he may have pheasants, black
bass and duck ponds and a number of
deer put on the property.
Mr.. Fletcher has done much work
for the government by breeding fine
pheasants, and expects to continue in
this line.

ORANGE SHIPMENTS MOVE
\ RAPIDLY AT GOOD PRICES
This Years Sales Made Generally on
Definite Orders, Growers Having
Decided This Is the
Best Policy

REDLANDS, Dec. 26.-During the
week ending Christmas day lit cars of
oranges went out from, Redlands dis
trict, bringing up the total almost to
the shipments at this date last year.
This years shipments are more on
definite orders than those of previous
years, the orange men deciding 1t is
much better policy to know where the
fruit is going than to ship 1t out to
wander around aimlessly
1t is thought the heavy demand for
Redlands oranges at the present time Is
due to the fine condition of the early
shipments made for the holiday trade.
The orders coming in are at prices sat
isfactory to the associations. 1t is es-
timated that almost 10 per cent of the
Florida crop has been marketed, thus
making way for the California fruit.
The fruit being shipped is nearly all for
the middle west, few cars going beyond
Cleveland, O., and the bulk of 1t to the
northwest, with Chicago as the central
market. Today from twenty to twenty
six cars were loaded and sent out.
SHIPMENTS were made also from Men
tone and Bryn Mawr.

WORK TO HAVE SAN PEDRO
APPOINTED PORT OF CALL
Secretary of the Harbor Commission
Writes Chamber of Commerce Re-
specting New Line of Steam
ers from the North

SAN PEDRO, Dec. 26.-With the CO.
operation of the merchants of Los An
geles, the harbor commission and the
San Pedro chamber of commerce 1t Is
believed that the steamers Of the Jeb-
sen & Ostrander line, which will be
established the first of the year be-
tween Puget sound, California ports
and the principal ports of Central
America, will make San Pedro q port
of call.
The matter has been before the har-
Dor commission for some time, and to-
day a letter was read at the meeting
of the chamber of comerce here from
Secretary A. P. Fleming asking for the
support of San Diego in the task of
securing the line for this port 1t is
evidently the intention of the Jebsen
& Ostrander line to make either San
Diego or San Pedro the port of call
for Southern California, and Los An
geles naturally wants the vessels to
call here.
The steamers Ella and Erna are now
on the way from Japan to Puget sound,
and the line will be In operation from
Puget sound, via San Francisco and
San Pedro or San Diego, Manzanillo,
Salina Cruz and the principal Central
American ports within a few weeks.
The local chamber of commerce Is
using every effort, in conjunction with
the commercial bodies Of Los Angeles.
to have San Pedro selected as the port
of call for Southern California.

CHIEF OF SECRET POLICE
IN RUSSIA ASSASSINATED
Fierce Encounter with Revolutlonists
at Hills Near Moscow Ends in
Death of Several
Officers

MOSCOW, Dec. 26.-Baron Cote,
chief of the secret political police, and
several officers were killed and Colonel
Muraki was wounded in a fierce en-
counter today with revolutionists who
were intrenched in a suburban villa.
During the fight several policemen
were killed and others wounded.
Troops were summoned to the aid of
the policemen and a regular battle en-
sued. Artillery had to be finally
brought up to lombard the villa be-
fore the revolutionists were subdued.
The occurrence Is the most serious
since the uprising of December, 1905.
The villa where the fighting took
place, occupies strategic position on
Elk island, an isle in the river near
Moscow and a favorite summer rseort.
The leaders of revolutionary move7
ment were holding a meeting in the
house. The police got wind of the af-
fair and surrounded the villa with the
purpose of making arrests. AS they
approached the house the revolution
lists opened fire.
This resistance was unexpected and
the police withdrew.
Then infantry was sent for, and with
this reinforcement a second advance
was made. The police and the soldiers
had to retire a second time, and 1t was
In this encounter that Baron Cote was
killed and Murad wounded.
Several soldiers were killed in the
onslaught
When the artillery appeared a few
well directed shots put an end to the
trouble.
The losses sustained by the revolu-
tionists are not known, but they are
doubtless heavy.

and the city council for passing the or
dinance requiring all cars to stop at
every street. Citizens say that the
councilmen should have exempted, al
least, the short line cars, and required
the old cars to stop. These old cars
are lighter and more easily handled
for quick stops, while the short line
cars are heavier and, II is claimed, not
suitable for frequent stops.
On the other hand, there are large
number of the residents who advocate
raising money, either as q bonus OF
for the construction of a competitive
road to connect with the yellow cars at
Pico Heights.
A number of persons renting houses
here have signif1ed their intention OF
moving back to Los Angeles If the
flyer service is not resumed.
Arguments both for and against the
policy OF the company probably will
be made at the council meeting next
Monday evening.

DESIRES PASSAGE OF
CONSOLIDATION LAW
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HAS
PASSED RESOLUTION
Members of Legislature Asked to
Adopt Measure Whereby cities of
Any Class May Unite Their
Governments
[sneolal 70 The Herald.l

SAN PEDRO, Dec. 26.-without
making any reference to the efforts
being made by a large majority of
local residents to unite even a portion
of the city with Los Angeles, the San
Pedro chamber of commerce today
passed a resolution requesting the
members of the thirty-eighth session
of the California legislature to place
on the statute books a law by which
two or more cities Of any class may
unite under one government, and thus
remove the unjust and unfair discrim-
ination now existing between Los An
gees and San Pedro
As the dividing of the city for the
purpose of consolidation with Los An
geles was last resort, employed be-
cause of the failure of the legislature
to enact a. law allowing consolidation,
it is con6eded by many here that,
should the legislature now pass such a
law, it would be far better to take the
city in as a whole in one election than
to take it in piecen1eal, which is the
cn1y method available at the present
time.
