MILTON YOUNG REFERS TO
GRIDER TRIAL
Statements Were Made in Reference
to Transaction Involving River
side Property--May File
Accusation

Asserting that periured testimony
had been given in the trial of Charles
c. Grider, convicted by jury in Judge
Davis court Friday on charge of the
grand larceny of a diamond ring be-
longing to Mrs. A. d. Van Houten,
Milton Young, one of Orders attor-
neys, notified G. Ray Horton, deputy
district attorney, yesterday, that no
surprise should be occasioned If ahlda-
Wits are filed accusing Mrs. Van Hou-
ten of making false statements while
on the witness stand.
Did Not Want Property
The threatened charge of perjury is
in connection with Mrs. Van Houten's
testimony with reference to the trans
action involving ten acres of land in
Riverside county secured by Grider for
her from j. A. Pease. Mrs. Van Hou-
ten, in her story of the dealings with
Grider, stated that she did not see the
deed to this land until long after the
deal was consummated. 1t was not un-
til she saw the document, she said, that
she realized Grider had exchanged her
Venice lot for property she did not
want.
Attorney Young stated yesterday, ac-
cording to Deputy Horton, that he mad
received a telephone message from the
county recorder at Riverside stating ne
had received the deed and abstract OF
title to the Riverside property from
Mrs. van Houten a short time after
the exchange was made, and that the
woman had requested him to record the
papers,

1t is with regret that we chronicle
the shutting down of Smyrna's tile
industry. Mr.. Samuel J. REYNOLDS,
the proprietor, was obliged to do so
for the reason that he was unable
to get a supply of clay within c,ose
enough proximity to Smyrna to make
it profitable The industry which was
founded by W. NJ. Bell, has been
identified with Smyrna for a number
of years and was the means sof put
ting considerable amount of money in
circulation in our midst. 1t is sorely
regretted that we have to lose this
industry.

sources began and has continued
The waters. at first recognized only
as aids to commerce in supplying
transportation routes, were largely
neglected. In time this neglect began
to be noticed, 'nd along with it the
destruction and approaching exhaus-
tion of the forests. This, in turn, di-
rected the attention to the rapid de-
pletion Of the coal and iron deposits
and the misuse of the land
The public conscience became awak-
ened. Seeing the increased value and
noting the destructive consumption
and waste of the natural resources,
men began to realize that the perma-
nent welfare of the country as well
as the prosperity of their offspring
were at stake
The reWly awakened sense of duty
found expression in a call by the
president upon the governors of the
states to meet him in conference, and
in the declaration of this conference
at its sessions in the White House
in May, 1908. The action of the con-
ference led to the appointment of the
national conservation commission,
with authority to collect information
and cooperate with similar commits
sions appointed by the states in the
great work of conserving the natural
resources of the country.
In the growth of the country and
gradual development of the natural
resources there have been three note

worthy stages. The first stage was
that of individual enterprise for per-
sonal and family benefit. 1t led to
the conquest of the wilderness.
The next stage was that OF collec-
tive enterprise, either for the benefit
of communities or for the profit Of
individuals forming the communities.
1t led to the development of cities and
states, and too often to the growth of
great monopolies.
The third stage is one we are now
entering Within it the enterprise is
collective and largely cooperative,
and should be directed toward the lar
ger benefit of communities, states and
the people generally
In the first stage the resources re-
ceived little thought. In the second
