WORK FIRST OF YEAR
Los Angeles Financiers Deeply Inter-

REDLANDS, April 15.-The Yucaipa
& Oak Glen railroad will be built.
At meeting of the stockholders, held
nouncement made that work will be
under way on the first section of the
line by May 1 and the twenty-five
miles completed to Oak Glen by fall.
The ultimate destination sof the road,
as outlined by the promoters, is Beau

some very rich agricultural districts.
The officers chosen are: President,
J. F. Neeland of Los Angeles; vice
president, C. S. Chestnut of Redlands:
treasurer, M. N. Newmark of Los An
geles. These, with w. d. Larrabee and
A. p. Maginnis of Los Angeles, consti-
tute the board of directors. The orig
inal promoters of the line, CfS. Chest
nut and G. II. Dunn of this city, still
each retain a one-seventh interest in
the line.
The first section of eight miles to the
Yucaipa settlement will be first built
and be operated by gasoline motors,
but when the line is completed to Oak
Glen the entire line will be electricized.
Whether other interests are behind
the line than those appearing directly
on the surface is only surmised. A. p.
Maginnis is prominently identified with
Santa Fe interests, while w. ID. Lar
rabee is a Los Angeles-Pacific man.
The developments following the build
ing of the line will be watched with
interest

of Ocean Park to determine the
amount of money due the latter city
for taking care OF the sewage of Santa
Monica, last night presented COM
promise report ON the matter to the
city council, in which 1t is stated that
the amount owed by Santa Monica to
Ocean Park is $4,000 minus $1,000 already
paid, leaving a balance of $4,000 still
due. The report was referred to the
city attorney, who will present an
opinion as to the city's right to pay
the claim.
For three years the Santa Monica
sewage has been taken care of by the
Ocean Park septic tank and electric
pumping plant. Some time ago Engin-
eers Cobb and Hawgood were appointed
by the respective cities to determine
what proportion of the expense should
be met by each city. Their findings
differed widely, but a compromise was
arrived at to the effect that Santa
Monica should pay for 40 per cent Of
the electric current used and 80 per
cent of the cost of labor and operation.
Ocean Park will continue to care for
Santa Monica's sewage until June i.

the action against number OF de-
PENDANTS, claiming that they jumped
his mining claims in the Bellevue u1s-
trict and have been holding them by
armed force, and under guard have
worked the property, extracting large
amounts of rich gold ore.
The group was located by Kaine as

work the defendants sWooped down on
the property, destroyed his monuments
and relocated the claims as the Bo-
livian gold and copper claims. He
tried several times to wrest the prop

In his suit he asked for possession,
