Fremont Valley is located almost
in the suburbs of Los Angeles on

BIG DEAL PROCEEDS - Every
indication points that the big land
deal whl be 60, although there
have been considerable changes.
The mineral rights fol 100, 900
acres or more asked for has been
entirely discarded and nothing but
fee simple titles will be accepted.
The amount asked for l. 100, 900
acres and 1t is estimated that the
required number of acres will be
secured by the first Of next week
at which time the Easaern partie S
interested will return to Mt. Yer
non and the deal will be 60 or a
failure. The price paid does not
exceed s. per acre for the land
and those whose lands are wanted
and who intend to sell, should do
so at once. The failure Of the
proposition will only be brought
about by the inability to secure the
required number of acres. Ii
might be well for US to say that
the price not to exceed $500 is
the established price, and for any
one to hold back for more money
will result in many falling to sell
for any price after the required
acres have been securee. B next
week we fully believe hat W viii
be able TO make de6aite state
ment of the situation and Il at /,
will be most satisfactory one tc
the people of Rockcastle.

Quite tragedy was narrowly
averted at London on Friday the
last day of the London fair when
Johnny Green. the aviator who
was engaged to make flights in
his aeroplane. fell to the ground
from height of about so feet.
He suffered a fracture of several
ribs, and his face was badly cut
and bruised but luckily, his in
lurieS were not more serious. His
machine is said to have been
splintered to kindling wood. A
large crowd of spectators who saw
the accident almost had heart fail
ure, 1t is said. On account of the
inclement weather conditions.
Green did not try to make flight
until the last day of the fair. He
was picked up and removed to a
hotel at London where he is being

me consent Of. the Unreal lelgue
which has control OF its territory
General Discussion.
4 general discussion of the CLINTON
entrance was then started. Pre- sident
Justice thought that in all fairness
Clinton should be mads to buy
franchise in order to get into the
league as other cities have been made
to follow this principal He made It
plain that the c. A. would not favor
the proposed city anas thought that
they should BE- treated the same as
any other place.
1t was brought up that it would b.
most unwise for the CA. to g.ve a
fifteen day option on franchise a.
it would delay action for a long psriod
and might end up with the fling OF
only seven clubs to make " the
league. II was aisa said that this
would be near the time When the
season would open and that the shell
ule could not be made UP with any
degree OF accuracy.
Mr. Frank Boyle then addressed the
meeting and proposed that c-mmir-
tee of three composed OF Messrs- Bel
don Hill. A. S. Lawrence and Press
dent Justice. be given full power to
investigate conditions in the cities
mentioned and report at the call OF
the president This motion was unan
imously approved. Mr.. Boyle then
went into a detailed discussion as t.
towns seeking 5erths in this associa
ton He said that it was clea Il
shown Clinton was after q place an
he is o. the opinion that Rock Islam
would like nothing better than to fol

team would readily consent to thi
plan concerning Rack Island, but tina
/ the affair rested in the hands OF tht
Three | magnates II was thought
however. that they would release Rocl
Island from their organization.
President Justice was Of ths opfn
ion that this was 70 matter to go int
blindfolded, and said that the utnaos
care was necessary and that act o:
shoul6 not run away from flcts.
It was decided not to grant I'll
! teen Gay option to Clinton nor to Civ,
a written proposition. The matte
was thoroughly explained to the repre-
sentatives and II is now up to tn
people OF Clinton to decide prett

President Justice was al. lo-izsd 70
change the rule concerning the use
of extra players in the start Of the

which permits twenty men
TO be held for twenty days without
violating the salary limit.
President Justice was also directed
to rsvise the constitution and bylaws

since the printing Of the present book
OF laws. OF the league.
Manager Boyle advocated limiting
the power of the umpire 70 assess
fines. CREATING lively discussion In
which he was about the only man who
took that view. President Justice ad.
rised the directors to let well enough
alone and that suggestion was agreed
to.
