LOST HIS LIFE.
Edgar Daniel Loses His Life In
the Colorado.

Edgar Daniel Loses His Life In
the Colorado.
Edgar Daniel, the 12-year old son of
Mr.. l.. E. Daniel, lost his life by drown
ing in the Colorado river yesterday in the
forenoon. Death under any circum-
stances is sad, but when mere boy loses
his life in attempting to save the life of a
comrade, the poignancy of the blow pen
etrates with redoubled force. This I'M
fortunate affair occurred about 1920
O'Clock. Johnnie Mitchell, Joe Ludwick
and Edgar Daniel were in bathing
in the river at the foot Of
Water street. At this point the river
makes bend and the recent high water
has cut out deep hole. While the boys
were frolicking in the water Joe Ludwick
got into this hole and sank. Young Daniel,
although he could not swim, bravely leaped
into the water beyond his depth to save
his companion. Young Ludwick was saved
by Johnnie Mitchell, but Edgar Daniel
came up once and after calling for help
sank to rise no more.
The news of the affair spread rapidly
over the city and soon large crowd gath
cred at the river near the scene of the
drowning. Sergeant Palmer with a num-
Der of Others worked vigorously and in
dustriously trying to raise the body. At
about $3.50 last night the work was sus-
pended until O'Clock this morning, when
1t will be resumed. Sergeant Palmer de-
sIres as many as can help to meet him this
morning, when efforts will be made to
raise the body by means of dynamite.

California papers are prophesying that
the raising of beets for sugar will in a
short time become one Of the important
industries in that state. During the last
few years farmers have been planting
beets for the sugar refneries, and in most
cases have found it quite profitable. A
number are going into the business on a
large scale. One gentleman has entered
into contract with Mr.. Spreckels to this
end, and is about to plant 1000 acres in
sugar beets on the Rancho Chino, in San
Bernardino county. Mr.. Spreckels has
contracted with the southern Pacific
railroad people to transport the crop
north to his refinery. 1t is calculated
that the land will clear $500 an acre in
refined sugar, or $4,000, 600 on the crop.
This crop on the Rancho Chino, it is be-
lieved, will be a profitable one to three
parties, the producer, the railroad COM
pany and the refner.
