Burning Tunnel
Bars Ry. Traffic

Santa Barbara, Cal, Sept 30
Abandoning all hope Of checking the
fire in the Southern Pacific railroads
tunnel near Cuesta by smothering It.
engineers opened both ends today to
permit the flames to rage.
For ten days the tunnel, the wood
work of which caught fire from
grass burning at near the mouth,
was closed, but when it was opened,
the heat was so intense and the
smoke so dense that it could not be
entered safely from either end
Cave-ins also had blocked the bore.
AS it could not be ascertaincd
whether the flames were fed by
natural gases, coal or creosoted tim
bers, the engineers declared the prof.
lem one of the most perplexing they
ever had facd.
The tunnel. which is three-quar-
ters Of a mile long, is located in the
Santa Lucia mountain range, north
of San Louis Obispo. While it is out
Of commission the railroad company
is transporting passengers twelve
miles across the mountains by auto
mobiles.

appear with winds from the west and
sometimes those winds stir up a dis
agreeable amount of dust. That has
been the case this year in modified
form, and today there has been
touch of cooling winds, but the fall in
temperature has been an agreeable
feature that has compensated for the
dust.
The new season comes on the valley
with one notable factor that has not
heretofore been experienced. That
is that the real estate operators Of
Los Angeles and San Diego, as wen
as of many smaller cities, are aiding
IN sending here the colonists who ara
seeking homes in the Southwest.
For the first time the coast is com
ing to realize that in ehis valley there
is an opening for tens Of thousands
Of families, and those families are now
being directed here as they never
were before.

BiXby Acquitted
Late Yesterday

Los Angeles, Sept. 3O-George II
BiXby was acquitted by the jury at
$40 last night The jury had been
out since o'clock.
The case of George H. Bixby. the
Long Beach millionaire charged with
contributing to the delinquency of
young girls, was given to the jury at
; o'clock yesterday afternoon. 1t was
not believed the jury would report for
some hours.
Judge Bledsoe's instructions were
lengthy and covered every point as 10
law on which there could be any con
fusion in the minds of the Jurors.
Asa Keyes. deputy district attorney,
who had prosecuted the case, said he
considered the instructions favorable
to the state.
The jury was instructed that the
character Of Cleo Halen Barker, the
girl to whose delinquency Mr.. Bixhy
is alleged, IN this trial, to have con
tributed, previous to the time M.
BiXby met her, is immaterial so far
as the defendants guilt or innocence
is concerned. If he committed the
acts he is guilty even if Miss Bar
ker's character was bad before she
knew Mr.. Bixby
The court also instructed the Jury
that it was immaterial so far as Mr.
Bixby's guilt or innocence is con
cerned whether there was in exist
ence a conspiracy to extort money
from him or not If he did what he
is alleged to have done he is guilty.
the court said, regardless of whether
there was a conspiracy against him
or not.
On the other hand the court IN
structed the jury that the defendant 5
excellent reputation previous to his
present trouble should be given due
weight and that he is presumed inno-
cent until proven guilty. The
burden of proof is on the prosecution.

Inaugura
For G.

Today marks the official close
the summer, and tomorrow morning
should inaugurate a season of unex-
ampled prosperity and progress.
AS matter of fact, however, the
people of the valley this year play
ed joke on the seasons and antici-
pated the coming of the new fall per-
iod month in advance. And to do full
justice to nature, the weather con-
ditions have made this possible.
But officially, the fall will bsgin To-
morrow, and it will find all tne stage
set for the greatest epoch ot advance
ment this section of the country has
ever known.
Already the towns [. The valley,
and especially Ell CenUro, are crowded
with strangers looking for homes, and
with residents of the valley who have
set their hands to the big problems
a month earlier than ever before.
1t is also true that The farmers Of
the valley have taken advantage Of
the early season to begin their years
work at an early date, and it is be-
lieved they will generally take ad-
vantage Of the lesson learned last year
and get their grain in unusually early.
The summer season that is clos
ing today has been one of the most
agreeable in the history of the valley.
