INSATIABLE COLLIS

NOW ON RIVERSIDE
STREET CAR SYSTEM
FOR FREIGHT AS WELL AS j
PASSENGERS

THEIR PATH IS BLOCKED
By Riverside Trust Co.—Trustees May

| Victoria Is Exempt
"
The Southern Pacific Railroad company
apparently ls doing some line work In se
curing street railroads In the city of River
side.
Several years ago Riverside granted lt a
franchise for a street car line down Mag
nolia avenue, and the line was built and
operated as a horse car line. Frank A.
Miller, then of the Glenwood hotel at
Riverside, but now the manager of the
Southern Pacific hotel, Arcadia, at Santa
Monica, was manager of this Magnolia
avenue street car line.
A few years ago a motor line was built
between Riverside and San Bernardino,
passing through Colton. This road was
built ostensibly for passenger traffic, and
the streets were utilized as right of way
for most of the distance of twelve miles
between the two places.
The franchises from cities and counties
Were so carefully drawn In the Interest of
the railroad company that lt became pos
sible for the company to run freight, as well
as passenger cars, and heavy engines as
well as light motors, but until recently no
advantage was taken of the liberal pro
visions of the franchises.
This motor company finally became bank
rupt, and the property was sold. The road
was purchased by the Southern Pacific
company and the line was then gradually
transformed Into a regular railroad for
the carrvlng of freight as well as passen
gers. A commodious passenger depot Is
at present being erected ln the very heart
of the city of Riverside, at the intersec
tion of Seventh and Market streets, only
one block from the postoffice.
For several years the Southern Pacific
company has tried to get a right of way
for a line down the valley, so as to extend
this motor line from Riverside down the
valley to South Riverside—now known as
Corona; thence In a northwesterly direc
tion to Chlno, where It would connect with
the branch line built from Pomona to
Chlno, thus making a loop line—ln fact, a
kite-shaped track—so that the traveler
could leave Los Angeles on the old maJn
line and go to Colton via San Gabriel,
Puente, Pomona and Ontario, thence from
Colton to Riverside, Corona and Chlno
back to Pomona, there crossing the main
fine and returning to this city via Lords
burg, San Dimas and Oovlna, reaching the
main line again at Bassett. It was de
sirable, of course, to make this line as at
tractive as possible for tourist travel; hence
the next step ln the program. I
Frank A. Miller, manager of the Mag-[
nolla avenue street car line, recently se
cured a new franchise from !he city of
Riverside for the purpose of electrizing
the Magnolia line. It ls ln connection
with this franchise that the Southern Pa
cific ls getting in its fine work. This fran
chise is so nicely drawn that under it there
is absolutely no protection ugainst (he
company's running freight as well as pas
senger cars.
In connection with this franchisee down
Magnolia avenue Mr. Miller also oslred for
a similar franchise down Victoria avenue—
another fine double drive laid out parallel
to Magnolia avenue by Matthew Gage,
under the Gage canal system.
The amount the Riverside Trust company
expended on this double drive was about
tV.roO. lOn either side arc to be found tine
orchards and beautiful homes, and event
ually Victoria avenue will rival the far
famed Magnolia In its wealth and beauty.
The city granted Its franchise over this
avenue also, but there was an obstacle in
the way, and the city could not deliver the
goods. When Matthew Gage laid out this
tract and deeded this avenue to the city
of Riverside he reserved the right lo build
6treet ear lines over this thoroughfare.
The Riverside Trust company—an Eng
lish corporation—is the successor in In
terest to Matthew Gage in this property.
A. Lowes Dickinson, a director of the
Riverside Trust company and president of
the Riverside Orange company, ls now
here from England inspecting the prop
ery. Mr. Dickenson says that his com
pany will absolutely refuse to grant to Mr.
Miller a franchise similar to that he has
secured from the city of Riverside. To
day, however, a franchise will be given
Mr. Miller allowing him to construct an
electric line over Victoria avenue for a
pasengpr car service only, with the privi
lege of carry ing'"domestic freight," such
as parcels, etc., but not the right to run
freight cars. The latter, In Mr. Dicken
son's opinion, would enormously depre
ciate his company's property.
This program will, however, be eventual
ly satisfactory to Mr. Miller and the South
ern Pacific company. They will then be
able to run an electric car service from
the Riverside business center down va
rious streets to the head of Magnolia ave
nue, thence down that avenue some three
or four miles to Van Buren street, thence
on Van Buren street to Victoria avenue,
thence on Victoria avenue back t» the
business center, crossing Turquesquite ar
royo on Victoria bridge. Such a pro
gram would be satisfactory from the local
passenger traffic, though not as desirable
as spoiling these splendid driveways with
refrigerator cars and other eyesores.
Now for the amended freight program.

Fred A. Pollock
Manager
Mr. Addlstn, manager of the General
Electric company in San Francisco, has
practically admitted that the new lino
down Magnolia avenue will be built for
freight as well as passengers.. This line
down Magnolia avenue can be extended
down to Corona, thence to Chlno, and the
kite-shaped track will be completed; the
regular passenger and freight trains will
be run from Colton to Riverside, thence
through the business center on Market
street —only one block from Main street—
thence by some practical route to Mag
nolia avenue, thence down the avenue to
some point ln the lower end of the valley,
thence by some practical route to Corona.
The Southern Pacific, with the assist
ance of their Ingenious manager, appears
to have come out ahead In its negotiations
with the city of Riverside, and as a result
the magnificent Magnolia avenue, the pride
of Southern California, will be converted
Into a simple right of way for the Southern
Pacific freight and passenger train traffic.
The city trustees of Riverside seem to
have fallen easily into the trap thnt Collls
P. Huntington set for them. The River
side Trust company, with more and com
mendable astuteness, has seen the trans
parency of the Job, and Victoria avenue
will not be sacrificed to the omnivorous
maw of the Southern Pacific railroad.
KILLED A TRAMP

Down
REDLANDS, Oct. 13.—Word wns re
ceived here this afternoon that a tramp,
wanted for stealing some harness and
robes at Highland yesterday, was pursued

Ontario Notes
ONTARIO. Oct. 13.—Rev. N. B. Shaw cf
Fallbrook, foimer pastor of the Baptls*
church here, vltited with his uncle at North
Ontario and friends yesterday.
Dr. S. H. Hatcher ar.d bride returned yes
terday from Nashville, Term.. where they
were married a few weeks ago.
The well recently sunk on Lyman Stew
art's orange grove an West Fourth street
is considered a complete success. A strata
of water-bearing gravel 176 feet ln thick
ness was passed through, altd water Is now
standing In the well at a depth of over 200
feet. It Is believed that this well will sup
ply- an immense volume of water.
A Paralytic Stroke
Shortly after 10 last night Officer Zlgler
found a man lying unconscious In the alley
near Second street between Wall and San
Pedro. It was first supposed he had
taken poison, and he was rushed to the re
ceiving hospital, where Dr. Hagan pro
nounced lt a paralytic stroke, due to ex
posure. For some time his life was
despaired of, but after working over him
for nearly an hour he showed signs of Im
provement.
He ls a man about BO years of age, heavy
set, with short, bushy whiskers, and was
dressed ln well worn working clothes.
IF THE HORSE COULD TALK
He Might Tell Who Cut a Gash in His
Shoulder
Oliver Thompson, a H-year-old youth of the East End, whose chief characteris
tics were a large, expressionless face and a pair of small, shifty, black eyes, was on
trial before Justice Owens yesterday charged with maliciously mutilating one of H.
Fisher's horses In the starless gloom of Saturday night or the early hours of Sunday
morning last.
Fisher Is a Junk peddler and lives at 823 East First street. When he opened his
stable Sunday morning he found his hor«o bleeding from a deep cut In the shoulder
three or four Inches long, thut showed clearly that it had been inflicted with a shnrp
instrument, presumably a knife. His first thoughts were of spirits or goblins, etc.,
but a second glance at the ugly gash, soot ihellged them to more material channels.
It was undoubtedly the work of an enemy, but who?
Some days before he had trouble with a neighbor's boy, one Oliver Thompson, over
some work he had hired the l>oy to do which had rot been carried out according
to the agn ament. He refused to pay young Thompson all that he had agreed to pay
and the boy had left him with a threat on his lips.
On emerging from the barn he spied Thompson, and according to the prisoner's
story on the stand yesterday, Fisher rushed up to him and struck him on the face.
Fisher denies this and said that when Thompson saw him he asked how he liked the
cut of his hors*e. On the stand yesterday Mrs. Fisher corroborated her husband's
story on this phase, and Ed Dorsey said that Thompson told him Sunday night that
he had cut the animal.
Ralph Marsh testified that he and Thompson went to the theater Saturday night
and that they did r.ot get back until ofter 11, and that he had left Thompson at the
tatter's door at that time.
The prosecuting attorney asked that the case be continued until 2 oclock today so
that he might bring another witness who would testify that Thompson had asked him
to lend him a large knife. This was granted.
CAMERA OBSCURA WINS
WILL SOON BE PLACED IN WEST
LAKE PARK
City Park Lands to Be Leased—Third
and Spring- Street Crossing-
Repaired by City
Westlake park will have the camera ob
scura as an attraction for the park fre
quenters. The park board so decided at
their regular session of yesterday, when
the committee appointed at a previous
meeting reported that they had visited
Santa Monica and examined Mayor Jones'
camera, finding it a very neat and interest
ing contrivance. Commissioner Work
man, who occupied the chair, ventured the
Inquiry whether there was any objection
able feature to the exhibition, as some com
munication In a newspaper had alleged.
"Naw," answered Commissioner Teed,
disgustedly, "the fellow that wrote thot
article ls an Englishman, and ls not even
a citizen of the United States." This proof
of the entire morality of the entertainment
was so conclusive that Mr. Workman's sug
gestion was dismissed without further
consideration. Mayor Jones was present,
and ln answer to the pork board's adver
tisement for bids, he submitted a proposi
tion for a two-years' privilege, offering to
construct the necessary building at his
own expense and pay a cash bonus of $60
per year. The matter was referred to the
city council, with a recommendation that
the proposition be accepted, and Commis
sioners Jones and Teed and Superintendent
Garey were appointed a committee to see
that the necessary building Is properly con
structed.
A communication from Piedretto San
ttnl asked the privilege of a lease on the
Solano avenue tract of Elyslan park. The
tract In question Includes about 40 acres,
and has been rented for a year past to a
man named Casulo, who ls now said to
have left the city. The board left that as
he was unfortunate with his cropß last
year, he should have the first chance at a
second lease, and therefore Instructed Su
perintendent Garey to ascertain whether
he has really left the city before negotia
tions are opened with Santlnl. Casulo
paid $65 a year for the land and Santlnl of
fers the same.
The park superintendent reported that he
had been Informed by George Lockwood,
the Griffith park watchman, that a man
named Martin ls making very general use
of the park lands for grazing purposes.
Martin had a lease on the lands under Mr.
Griffith's ownership, paying $3700 a year for
a certain tract, part of which Is now owned
by the city. It was the understanding
that he should have a right to the use of
the city land until the lease expired, the
rent therefor passing to Mr. Griffith. The
lease expired some time ago. but the graz
ing has continued uninterruptedly, and the
city has seen no "coin" for lt. The super
intendent has been trying to lease lt to
other parties, and was instructed to order
Martin off unless he ls willing to pay $26 a
month for the land. There are said to be
several hundred acres of It.
PETITION'S AND PROTESTS
What the Good People Want and What
They Do Not Want
With an expression of regret that cir
cumstances should require such action,
Carl Relss and others enter a protest
against the revised report of the commis
sioners ln the opening of Hoover street from
Washington to Bush. The protest ls en
tered In the cause of equity and Justice,
the complaint being that the commissioners
have not given the relief the council In

ance with the original petition, and that the
object of the opening Is not carried out.
Abandonment is therefore prayed, and a
hearing le asked for. J. Lougheed has
filed a separate protest on the same
grounds.
D. Botlller petitions the council to
change the name of Delgado street to Ce
cilia street.
Lucy A. Miller asks for the cancellation
of the sale of a lot in Daman A Willard's
subdivision on the ground that she offered
to pay the tax on lt. but was prevented
from so doing for the reason that the tax
collector could net find the property on
the assessment roll.
The Los Angeles Infirmary. through
President Sister Eugenia, asks the council
to improve Beaudry avenue from Bellevue
avenue to Alpine street, by grading, grav
eling, curbing and guttering.
CHARGED TO BOTH COMPANIES
Third and Spring Street Crossing Is
Finally Repaired by the City
After permitting ten days to elapse since
he notified the Los Angeles Hallway com
pany and the Traction company to repair
tho street at the Intersection of Third and
Spring streets, City Street Superintendent
Drain has had the work done at the city's
expense and charged one-half of the cost
to each company. It ls a matter of only
$30 or $40 as a whole, but the Los Angeles
company contended that the street was
torn up by the Traction company, and
should, therefore, be repaired by that
company. The Traction people Insisted
thnt both companies should bear the ex
pense, and consequently the street re
mained torn up.
Mr. Drain reported the matter to the
council, and was Instructed to notify both
companies that the street must be fixed.
The notification had no effect, and the
street department has now made the re
pairs.
Glass Skylights
In accordance with a request from the
builders of the Douglas block at the cor
ner of Third and Spring streets. Chief
Moore of the fire department has carefully
examined a new material for the construc
tion of skylights, and will recommend, at
the next session of the fire board, a change
In the fire ordinance so as to admit of the
use of the material In question. At pres
ent the ordinance requires the use of a
wire netting over skylights, sufficiently
strong to bear the weight of a fireman.
The new material consists of two plates of
heavy translucent glass with a layer of
woven wire Imbedded In the center. It Is
very strong, and ls an entire compliance
with the Intentions of the present ordi
nance.

Westlake Association
The Westlake Improvement and Protec
tive association held Its regular meeting
last evening at the corner of Seventh and
Alvarado streets.
The association decided to petition the
park commissioners to permit the improve
ment of Sunset park by private enterprise
amd its use as a children's playground.
More crosswalks are needed ln the West
lake cVstrict, and the following ccmmlttee
was appointed to present a petition to the
council: H. G. W'.lshlre. J. F. Jenkins, Lud
Zobel, John R. Reynolds. Oscar E. Farlsh,
W. E. Cummlngs and E. C. Magauran. The
»ome committee will also present to the
council a petition from the association ask
ing ;hat a cement sidewalk be laid around
Westlake park, and that the driveways be
paved with porphyry as soon as practica
ble.
Resolutions were passed that the associa
tion, through its executive committee, re
■quest the chief of police to enforce strictly
the city ordinance regulating the operation
of oil wells, and also to have all sidewalks
:n the Westlake district cleaned and swept
thoroughly as socn as practicable.
So many new members and such a large
amount of money were received that the
association will be enahled to push Its
work with vigor and success. The services
of four prominent lawyers have been se
cured to assist the city attorney In de

Flexible Rubber
Dental Plates
OUR NEW PROCESS of Flexible Dental
Plates ls as yet but little understood by the
public and less understood by dentists In
genetal. It has many advantages oyer the
ordinary rubber plates—even gold plates—
being lighter and thinner. This plate being
flexible—only a trifle thicker than heavy
writing paper—fits closer to the mouth,
will last longer and Is tougher than any
other rubber. Once tried, no other plate
will be desirable. Brought to the notice of
tbe public through Dr. Bchiffman only .
