Carpenter has traded his twenty acre orange orchard near Orange for a stock of musical goods in San Bernar dino. Riotous Railroad Rumors SANTA BARBARA, March 19—Rail road rumors are becoming ludicrous. Today the city was thrown into a high fever by the statement that a train had passed through before daylight, bear ing one thousand men, many mules and carts and other Implements for the im mediate commencement of work at Ell- wood. It was also stated that a con struction train would arrive later in the day. Inquiry at the railroad offices brought out the information that nothing but the regular train went out to Ellwood. Santa Barbara people have been so often deceived by unfounded reports dur ing the past ten years that nothing but a through train from San Francisco by way of the "shore line" wil convince them that work has actually been commenced. In other words, they will believe that Huntington intends "to push it through to rapid completion" when It is finished. The many stories that have been circu- lated of late are discredited here. No great addition to the force at Surf has been made yet; neither is one probable, although a small increase has been, or soon will be, made. Municipal Nominations RIVERSIDE. March 1». — The Non partisans of this city completed their ticket for trustees this evening by the selection of George Thomas, a well known fruit-grower, to take the place on the ticket made vacant by the refusal of Alex Grant to accept the nomination tendered him by the mass meeting held last week. This now completes the two tickets —Non-partisan and Republican— which have put up the following names, respectively: Dr. C. C. Sherman. Brad Morse and George Thomas, and W. L. Peters, John Slmms and L. V. Brown. The liquor question, which has always been an important and disturbing factor ln municipal elections ln this city, has been eliminated this time by both par ties pledging their candidates to give the city a high-license or prohibition ordi nance. In accordance with the expressed will of the people at the polls. The elec tion, which will take place on April 11th. promises to ba a hot one nevertheless, as the water rate question is live, and there is quite a large share of the peo ple who think that the present rates are too high. A Boom Relic RIVERSIDE, March 19.—The South ern Pacific company today began tear ing up the old motor track on First street. This track is one of the relics of boom days, for it was put down ir. those days by a company composed of Riverside and San Bernardino boomers, prominent among the number being J. Button of Colton and O. T. Dyer of this city. When the motor road was first projected it was the intention of the promotors to run the road as far south as Corona, but the capital gave out by the time the road was completed be tween this city and San Bernardino. The original company struggled along under a load of debt for several years. Finally the line went into the hands of a receiver, and later on it became the property of the Southern Pacific company, which com pany has greatly Improved it in the past few months. The company has no fur ther use for the line on First street, for the reason that a new cut-off line has been opened north of that street. Orange Items ORANGE, March 19. — The Christian Endeavor society of the Christian church gave a very nice social in the Music hall, Orange on Friday evening.

Elli ott, who owns a ten-acre tract of land just on the north edge of the city, has been boring a well on his premises lately, and the result of his labor has been the discovery of a large How of sulphur water at a depth of fifty feet, which has a tem perature of 76 deg. The find has de cided Mr. Elliott to make use of the water for bathing purposes, and he has begun the plans for a bath house which he expects to put up the coming summer. The discovery of this stream of water will be a great thing for the city. A Missed-Fire Cartridge REDLANDS, March 19.—Frank Joseph of Yucaipe met with a painful accident ye sterday, which will necessitate the am putation of his right thumb. He had been out bunting Friday, and had one shell which missed fire, and it was ln trying to remove the cap from this that he got into trouble. The shell ex ploded, tearing his thumb badly and lacerating the hand. Dr. Sanborn am putated the thumb at the second joint. Riverside's New Park RIVERSIDE, March 19.—Another en thusiastic meeting of citizens interested in the improvement of the Fairmount tract as a park was held last evening, and steps were taken which will insure for this city, in the course of a very few years, one of the finest picnic or recrea tion grounds to be found in the state.

For two years the knights at Redlands have extended an Invitation to the commanderies to hold Easter services with them, but on both occasions the clergyman who was to preach the sermon was taken ill just in time to prevent it. Oxnard News OXNARD, March 19.— Vice-President H. E. Huntington and Chief Engineer Hood of the Southern Pacific system inspected the new roadbed from Mon talvo to the sugar factory yesterday. Paper Carrier Adamson, at the sugar factory has built up a prosperous route in this neighborhood, having many sub scribers of The Herald, of which he is the local agent. The magnificent brick office building is going up rapidly at the sugar factory. The beet sheds are also under good head way, over 260,000 feet of lumber being required. The factory officials entertained the newspaper men last Tuesday. Repre sentatives of Los Angeles journals were present. The railroad people are erecting their new depot near the sugar factory. Chris Reiman, formerly of Los An geles, is building a $3000 hotel opposite the new town of Oxnard. Robert Oxnard of the Oxnard com pany, who has been inspecting the prog ress at the subar factory, departed for San Francisco Tuesday. Some friction has occurred between the farmers who have signed contracts with the factory people over planting beets this dry season. The farmers are satis fied that the seed will not grow, and the factory officials think that it will and are Insisting that the necessary acreage be sown. Nevertheless we note consid erable land being prepared for planting. Some farmers aver that they will stand suit rather than buy seed and plant it. A good soaking rain in the next few weeks would relieve the tension. The sugar factory will be completed by July, so says Manager Duffill. Ventura county is being exploited for lime rock, numerous samples beln test ed from all parts of the county. A prominent official of the Oxnard com pany states that at least 5000 acres will be planted to sugar beets ln the valley this season. The contracts wfth the farmers call for 10,000 acres, but owing to the dry season only the best land will be planted.

Pishon, a native of New Hamp shire, and one of the pioneers of San Bernardino, who for several years was compeleld to reside at Oceanside on ac count of failing health.

For several years there has hardly been a time when there was not a case before the supreme court for a decision as to the proper street lines. The opin ions to date have not conflicted, but there has now appeared another liti gant who threatens to test the matter once again. Tho council at its last meeting, backed by these decisions, ordered the city mar shal to remove fences that project into Micheltorena street.
