Congratulations 4ss1s Sunset ISL
REPORT NO OPPOSITION
TO SANTA MONICA RACE

SANTA MONICA, Sept. H.-No op-
position to the Santa Monica road race
on Thanksgiving day could be found
among the citizens, according to the re-
port of the special committee appointed
by the city council. The report. which
Is signed by L. B. Goodrich, chairman
Of the-committee, was filed today with
Mayor Dudley and recommends that
the city officials close a contract with
Dick Ferris, promoter of the big event,
at once and proceed with the prepara-
tions. In the opinion of the commit
tee the necessary funds required here
to make the race a success can be
raised by public subscription.
The committee was chosen by the
council following the circulation of ru-
mors that opposition would make itself
felt in time to defeat the road race
plans. Recently one or two citizens
voiced their objections to the council,
but to all appearances they are alone
in their position. On the other hand,
practically the entire citizenship of
Santa Monica, Ocean Park and Venice
are in favor Of the race.
Action on the report Of the committee
is expected to be taken by the council
in committee of the whole tomorrow,
in the next few days the matter will
be so arranged as to leave no doubt
about the holding of the road race at
the time planned. The street superin-
tendent will thereupon Immediately
place men to work repairing a number
of small ruts in the race course.

RIVERSIDE DIMES TWO
NOTABLE SOIL EXPERTS

RIVERSIDE, Sept. 27.-That a great
responsibility rests upon the orange
growers of Southern California in the
matter of spreading the gospel Of
maintaining soil fertility throughout
the country was the declaration Of
DR.. Cyril G. Hopkins at dinner ten
dered him and DR.. F. H. King at the
Mission inn last night. These gentle
men are investigating soil conditions
throughout Southern California pre-
liminary to the soil convention to be
held in Los Angeles next week. The
character of the horttculturists of
Southern California, who are largely
from the ranks of the business world
and the professions, and their large
acquaintance in other sections of the
country, offered a great opportunity
for creating a sentiment that would
have a far-reaching effect, was the
opinion of DR.. Hopkins. Starting at
the Atlantic coast, he declared that
the soil had been badly depleted half
way across the continent. If the west
allowed the same conditions to pre-
vail, the country would be confronted
with a serious situation.

RANCHERS ASK REMOVAL
OF RAILROAD DIKES

REDLANDS, Sept. 27.-Ranchers in
the mission section are comforting with
attorneys relative to the bringing of
some suit to require the county super
Vlsors to take action in the protection
Of property in the mission section, by
forcing the Santa F'e railroad to with
draw from a stormWater ditch two
dikes built to protect the railroad en-
bankment. The supervisors two years
ago fathered a movement for the repair
OF the ditch by the forming Of an as
sessnent district, and the Santa Fe
railroad was assessed for $500, but
begged off on the plea that the road be
permitted to do the work along the
right of way This the road has not
done, and officials also refuse to remove
the two dikes, which Supervisors Hor-
ton and ranchers in the Mission sec
ton state are causing the ditch to fill
UP with sand and the water to cause
damage.
Last spring ono bridge was washed
out as a result, and at the Cotton ave-
nue. bridge sand has filled the ditch for
four feet in one winter, threatening
change In course in another year. 1t is
claimed that the work done on the
ditch, which cost several thousand dol
lars, is all wasted because Of the OBJ
structions of the Santa Fe.
The county supervisors were asked to
order the distractions removed and to
complete the ditch, but the officials re-
fused.

RIVERSIDE GOOD ROADS
MEN VISIT SAN DIEGO
Tentative Promises Are Made for
Opening Auto Highway to
Imperial Country

RIVERSIDE, Sept. 27.-The Riverside
county highway commissioners are
we'll pleased with the results of their
visit to San Diego for the purpose Of
comforting with the commissioners
there relative to the preliminaries of
good roads campaign. One of the
striking facts learned was that the San
Diego good roads system had been out
lined without the purchase Of single
piece of right of way, with one ex-
ception. Public sentiment had been so
insistent upon fair dealing that the re-
calcitrants were impelled to come forth
with deeds.
The San Diego roads will average
only $2700 mile in cost, no macadam
being used. The latter form of con-
struction has been settled upon by the
city of Riverside at least as the wisest
plan of road building. The informal
promise was made the Riverside COM
rnissioners that If Riverside will COM
plete a permanent road through Te-
mecula to the Rainbow canyon road
and Imperial county can be persuaded
to carry on the work from their county
line, that San Diego will put through
several miles of fine road, completing
the highway from Riverside to the
settlements of the Imperial valley.
Last night the commissioners were en-
tertained at Miramar, the home of E.
w Scripps.

come home to roost" is a trite old

A nelghbor, who was called by tele-
phone, took four shots at the depart

to the belief that one of the men had
been shot.
In the wee, small hours last night
Sanderson heard a familiar racket in
his chicken yard. and upon closer In
vestigation his vision, aided by a
lamp, he found the chickens which
had been reported missing. They were
in their usual places on the roost.
Sanderson has asked the detectives
to try to throw some Light on the
mystery.
