LAST NAIL DRIVEN IN
NEW WAVE MOTOR PIER
Bio Structure for Reynolds Power
Producer Is Completed at
Huntington Beach

HUNTINGTON BEACH, June 30
The last nail will be driven tomorrow
in the new 500-foot pier which has just
been erected by the Mercereau Con-
struction company for the California
Wave Motor company. Alva l.. Reyn-
olds, inventor of the Reynolds motor,
says the company of which he is pres
ident will proceed at once with the in
stallation of machinery for the produc-
ton Of power or extraction of energy
from the ocean waves. Some Of the
machinery is already on hand and con-
tracts have been let for more. A big
pressure tank is being constructed and
will be placed on the wharf In short
time. 1t is expected the first installa-
ton will be five units, or five separate
motors. These will be followed by five
more motors. Ten units, 1t Is estimat-
ed, will be sufficient to furnish all the
electricity for heat, light and power
that can be consumed at and near
Huntington Beach
After installation, according to Mr..
Reynolds, the cost of maintenance will
be very light and the power produced
will be sold to consumers, be they indi-
viduals or companies, for domestic use
or for manufacturing purposes, at a
rate lower than fuel burning electric
companies can hope to meet This, the
inventor declares will do much to stim-
ulate manufacture in Southern Cali
fOrnia.

SAYS PACIFIC ELECTRIC
WILL NOT BUILD BRANCH
Company Refuses to Form Loop Be-
tween Monrovla, Sierra Madre
and Pasadena

MONROVIA, June 30.-J. Mcmillan,
general manager of the Pacific Electric
railroad, put an end to all speculation
today by saying that there was on pros
pect that a branch line of the Pacific
Electric railroad would be constructed
between Monrovia and Serria Madre
or between Sierra Madre and Pasa-
dena via the foothills. Mcmillan S
statement holds good for at least the
next two years.
For some time there has been talk
among the citizens of Monrovia of
petitioning the Pacific Electric COM
pany for a branch line, about two
miles in length, between MonroVia and
Sierra Madre 1t has frequently been
pointed ont that at present a IL mile
ride is unnecessary to reach a town 2
miles distant, and also that such a line
would form a loop the circuit of which
would be a most attractive trip from
Los Angeles.
Pasadena merchants have also
wished a more direct communication
with the country trade than is at pres
ent afforded and the proposed line
has been for some time pet project
with residents of the Crown City. AL
though a line connecting Monrovia,
Sierra Madre, Altadena and Pasadena
would undoubtedly afford one of the
most scenic trips in Southern Cali
fornia, 1t is not believed by Pacific
Electric officials that it would be
paying venture.
The strongest feature of the whole
proposition is that the country trade
would be more evenly distributed be-
tween Pasadena and Los Angeles AL
ready merchants of the former city
have made strenuous efforts to secure
more of the country trade than has
hitherto fallen to their share, but as
yet little has been accomplished.

SILVER ANNIVERSARY
OF PASTOR OBSERVED
CHURCH BUILDER IS H0N0RED
BY FRIENDS
Rev. J. H. o. Browne Celebrates Close
of Quarter Century of Work
In Ministry-Has Great
Record
Especial to The Herald

SANTA MONICA, June 30.-Many
notable churchmen, both clergy and
laity. were present this evening at the
quarter century anniversary of Rev. j.
D. II. Browne at the parish house of st.
Augustine's church in this city.
Rev. Mr.. Browne is a native of Nova
Scotia and came to California in 1884,
supplying the Riverside Episcopal
church for time. AS rector of the
church at Pomona. he was instrumental
in building a structure for the worship
of his congregation, and then went to
Pasadena, where as rector of All Souls
he built another church. His great
work, which seemed to be that of build
ing churches, was continued at Covina
and San Bernardino. At the former
place he was instrumental in erecting a
church structure which on being de-
molished by the wind was rebuilt on
larger and better scale. At San Ser
nardino he had much the same eX-
perience. The fruit of his first efforts
being destroyed by fire he got his people
together and erected another larger and
more imposing structure than that de-
molished.
He came to this city in 1900, and TAX
ing a church with a membership of
twenty-seven has seen it grow to POI.
The building has been much enlarged
during his pastorate and many i'm
provements made.
Special guests at the celebration this
evening were Bishop Joseph H. john
son, Rev. j. ]. Wilkins and Rev. Baker
p. Lee. The committee in charge of
the program were w. C. Mushet, E. H.
Scenter H. 1. Thomas and P. ]. Dudley
A monetary testimonial was presented
to Mr., Browne at the instance of Judge
Thomas L. Winder of Los Angeles.
The hall was elaborately decorated
with flowers, the work of a committee
of women, members of st. Margarets s
guild, under the leadership of Mrs.
Robert Dollard. Refreshments were
served by the members of the same
committee

for Redlands orange packers to ship

California also will soon be feeling the
effects of the shortage. Several pack
ing houses have from one to four cars
of fruit in the houses ready for loading
but are unable to get cars, some of the
packing houses being forced to shut
down until cars arrive. Others have
arranged for the loading of Santa Fe
cars at their houses, where they usually
shipped via the Southern Pacific. and
are sending out their fruit by that
route, the Santa Fe not being bothered
by a shortage.
