HARB0R IMPROVEMENT
PROJECT TO BE DISCUSSED
Santa Monica Meeting to Hear as
to Plan to Build Break
water

SANTA MONICA, Jan. 31.-Interest
in the project for improving the har-
Dor of Santa Monica is increased here
by the announcement of a meeting to-
morrow night at the Casino, when
several speakers will explain the aims
of the company promoting the scheme.
According to T. J. Hampton, who is
at the head of the Harbor Improve
ment company, the plan is meeting
with much encouragement as the peo-
pie of this city realize that the con-
struction of breakwater and wharves
will add greatly to its commercial i'm
portance.
Eastern capital is said to be held in
reserve to take up the company's bonds
as soon as sufficient stock is disposed
of TO enable the company to purchase
land with which to secure the bonds.
The company has obtained options on
water front land. The plans of the
company call for the construction of a
great sea wall, completely protecting
three long Wharves, which will be able
to accommodate the largest ships

VENTURA OLIVE PICKING
SEASON NEARING END
Small Crop Means Higher Prices, is
Declaration of Growers Asso-
citation Secretary

VENTURA, Jan. 31.-The picking
season for ripe olives for picking will
end in about two weeks, according to
Frank Simonds, secretary of the Los
Angeles Olive Growers association.
1.-The crop this year will be about
the same as the one of last season" I"
said Mr. Simonds. 1.-The crop last year
was exceedingly light and was well
cleaned up. Orders came pouring in
this season for olives so that the crop
is about all called for even before it
is off the trees.
"The crop in Southern California
this year will amount to about 100000
cases. OF this number "a, 900 cases will
be sent east or north. The large olives
are the ones in most demand and there
will be few of them coming in the rest
of this season.
'rhe Mission olives are the next ones
to arrive and these form the bulk of
the crop for Southern California. About
an equal number of olives are grown
in the northern section of California.
"The small crop" claimed Mr.. ST.
monds, will mean higher prices for
olives. The market already has ad-
vanced and further rises may be ex-
pected because of the large demand and
small holdings.
"In about two weeks olive men will
be picking for oil only. They are pick
ing for oil to some extent now, but
then it will begin in earnest. AS the
oil in the olives does not spoil by being
left on the trees, the growers are in nc
hurry to pick them.
1.-THE quantity of olive oil extracted
from the olives of Southern California
amounts to many gallons. This year
I believe, it will be in the neighborhood
of 10000 gallons"

SAN PEDRO STREET TO
BE WIDENED TEN FEET

SAN PEDRO, Jan. S1.-Work on the
new Elks' building at Seventh and
Palos Verdes streets was commenced
today following a meeting Of the build
ing committee of the Elks' Building as
sociation, at which 1t was decided to
build five feet back of the Seventh
street line.
This action practically assures the
widening of Seventh street from sixty
to seventy feet, from Beacon street and
Pacific avenue. The widening Of the
street has been under consideration for
several months and deeds from nearly
all the property owners dedicating five
feet on each side have been secured.
The remaining property owners have
expressed their willingness to cooper
ate in making the improvement.
Seventh street has the lowest grade
of any street leading from the business
section of town and many believe it
will in time become one of the best
business streets. Fortunately there
are yet no permanent business build
ings ON the street excepting the new
Ferl block, which was built a few
months ago on the lines of the proposed
widening, at the corner Of Beacon and
Seventh.

Block from Destruc.
ton

SANTA MONICA, Jan. 31.-All the
fire apparatus in Santa Monica, ocean
Park and Venice turned out late last
night to eXtinguish a fire which broke
out at the Frisco bakery on Pier ave-
nue.. The flames were extinguished
after half hours work, which if de-
layed fifteen minutes would have been
useless, as the flames had gained great
headway beneath the floors of several
stores in the immediate vicinity of the
bakery and would have swept the
block clean.
Fuel oil, leaking from a tank at the
rear of the bakery into the shallow
basement, is thought to have caught
fire from spontaneous combustion. one
company from the Santa Monica de-
partment answered the alarm, but
when it was found that they We're un-
able to cope with the flames, a general
alarm was sounded and the Ocean Park
and Venice volunteer firemen respond
ed with their apparatus. The damage
is estimated at $780, part of which was
covered by insurance.

RIPLEY MAY ASSIST
RINCON ROAD PLAN
President of Santa Fe Interested in
Proposed Toll Way Along
the Beach in Ventura
County

SANTA BARBARA, Jan. Silt is
very likely that e. p. Ripley presl-
dent of the Santa Fe railroad, will be
one of the directors of the Rlncon
Road company, now being organized
to build macadamized toll road along
the beach at Carpinteria to Ventura
at a cost of 100000.
1t is understood that Mr.. Ripley
will be at least q stockholder. When
asked If the, railroad president Is TO
be one of the directors, Francis I.
Underhill, one of the four original
promoters, said:
1T is very likely, but the matter
has not even been discussed yet at a
formal meeting of the board. -
With E. p. Ripley on the board of
directors or actively interested the
Rincon road is doubly sure of being
built, butt soon and built right. His
name will be an assurance that the
project is feasible and will be well
managed. 1t win do more than any
thing else could do to give investors
confidence and facilitate the financing
of the enterprise.
Mr.. Ripley's interest in the beach
road was first expressed on the day
after his arrival in Santa Barbara
when he first learned of the plans of
II. ]. Doulton. F.. 7. Underhill, Samuel
P. Calef and Joel r. Fithian to secure
a franchise and build the road with
private capital, with the idea of ulti
mately turning it over to Ventura
county At that time Mr.. Ripley eX-
pressed great interest and heartily in
dorsed the plan. He saw in a minute
the great possibilities for making this
road one of the famous scenic high
ways of the world.
Mr. Ripley's active interest in the
enterprise is in line with that of other
wealthy winter residents who largely
through the efforts of the Civic league
have come to feel a personal interest
in the welfare of the community. 1t
is such men who have developed Pas
adena and San Diego SO that those
towns have outstripped competitors.
