The following through freight in carload lots was shipped from the Tustin branch of the Southern Pacific Railroad for the year ending December, 1891: Thirty-seven cars of stock, 3,690,000 pounds of barley, 000 pounds of corn, 120,000 pounds of pounds of onions, 30,000 pounds of peanuts, 30,000 pounds of walnuts.

30,000 pounds of beans and 17,750 boxes of oranges. The above shipments represent but a small portion of the products of Tustin, By a close approximation the last year's crop of oranges. for Tustin was 70,000 boxes. or 233 carloads. Had our total ange crop been shipped from the Tustin depot it would have made it the third largest orange shipping depot in Southern California, Riverside and Los Angeles being the Arst and second.

Our local railroad is not patronized as well as it might be for various reasons. First, the storage aceommodations for shippers are entirely inadequate. There is at present stored in Santa Ana between 50.000 and 60,000 sacks of barley that were hauled from the San Joaquin ranch right past the Tustin depot. The ranch raised last year about 200,000 sacks of barley and 5000 sacks of wheat, besides hay, corn, beans, etc. this is a favorable year a much larger acreage will be culti.

vated and the. barley crop alone will probless than half the distance between the ably reach a 300.000 8 sacks. Tustin being ranch and Santa Ana, it is reasonable to suppose it would be the shipping point, if storage facilities were afforded. Our local passenger train. as it is run at present, is no accommodation and our people have got into the habit of going by way of Santa Ana.

Our people friendly toward the freer Southern Pacific Railroad, and there is no reason why our depot cannot be our princi. pal shipping point.

Mr. Storke had promised to send him away to school, and afterward refused to do so.

The cross-examination of the wit. ness began about 2:30 yesterday after. noon. The deposition of Mary Hillis-Short, Mrs. Storke's aunt, introduced on the first day of the trial, related some of the acts of Mr.

Storke, which she claims to have wit. nessed while residing with Mr. and Mrs. Storke in Santa Barbara. One of them was that Mr.

Storke seized Mrs. Storke and threw her on the bed and shook her severely. also stated that the plaintiff was cruelly abused by both Mr. Storke and Tommy, that Mr. Storke often used obscene language in the dining-room, and that he attempted to kill his wife at one time when she was ill by administering morphine and whiskey, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
