Developing Small Tracts

Work is under way on several of the ten-acre lots west of town, and it is evident that considerable progress is to be made there during the next few months.
 Peter Riedell is new conner who has gone on one of the tracts, which he bought some days since, and where he is making quite extensive improve ments, having built a house and barn and set about getting his ground un- der cultivation. He will act as agent of the Fancher Creek Nurseries, and soon put in variety of fruit and other trees.
 Mir. Snyder, who has been working for the Oakley-Paulin Company on the ten-acre lots for some time, has been so well pleased with the way crops come on that he has bought one of the lots and will plant it to grapes this season.

Contract for BuildinQ

George Varney of Halleck, San Bernardino county, was in the valley for few days recently, and contrac- ted with Harbour x Carter for an adobe building F by 40 feet in size, to be used as warehouse, brick store later to be built in connection, this building to be so by so, and to occupy two lots just south of the bank lots on Imperial avenue.

Weeds for Levers

Peter Riedell, who is a newcomer in the valley, thinks he has found some thing funny, and it may seem that way to people who do not know this country. While driving near Blue Lake his wagon got stuck in the mud, where water had broken into the road, so that his horses could not pull it out. Casting about for lever, Mir. Riedell saw dead pig weed some twelve feet tall and six or eight inches in diameter. Taking this weed, he pried the wagon out of the mud and drove on. That may seem to outsiders like something of q weed story, but it is not strange thing here. The next thing we know, the world will he using Imperial ar rowwceds for ship masts and flag poles. These weeds are simply the way everything grows iii the valley when it gets water.

RAILROAD AND MELONS

The prospect for railroad spur from the Southern Pacific main line to Cal exico, to be built before summer, is growing decidedly bright, and promi- nent railroad men have lent encour- agement to the belief that the road will be completed by May l. in time to ship melons out of the valley this year. Within few days there should be some definite information if this is to be done, though the track could be laid in very short time. One of the largest fruit firms is trying to bring about the early building of the road, as it wants to contract for the grow ing of 300 acres of melons at Imperial this year, and farmers stand ready to make the contracts as soon as the transportation question is settled.
 The grading train and gang of workingmen arrived at Flowingwell Wednesday and ground was broken for a switch and depot. This is something of surprise, as it had been expected that the depot would be at Old Beach. It is fortunate for George McCaulley that the change was not made, his hotel and other inn provements at Flowingwell now re- maining uninjured

in rice growing in southeastern Texas. J. A. Hammers has made a study of the rice industry, and is satisfied that the valley is adapted to its culture. 1t will be necessary to keep at least foot of water on the ground during the growth of the plant. Rice culture is reported to be conducted with much profit in sections where the plant thrives.

Louis Neudecker Killed.

Louis Neudecker, formerly COOK at the Southern Pacific hotel in Yuma, was run down by a street car in Los Angeles yesterday and received in iuries from which he died while in the police ambulance on the way to the hospital.
 The car was south bound on Spring street and was moving at rapid rate of speed. There was another car on another track north bound passing the corner at the same time. Neudecker attempted to cross the street from the east side, and in escaping the north bound car did not see the sOuth-bound car in time to avoid it. He was struck almost head on and knocked car length or more and clear of the tracks. Street car employees and passengers ran to his assistance. Blood was gushing from a long wound in the back of his head. Both his eyes were closed and and bruised.

I've Very Important Industries.

While it may seem broad statement it is probably true that our railroads, with their immense capitalization and army of employees, form one of the most important industries of the coun- try. The other very important indus try is the manufacture of that celebrat- ed family medicine, HOstetter's Stom- ach Bitters- It is compounded with the greatest care and contains nothing that would injure the most delicate system. It is backed by record of fifty years of cures of sick headache, indigestion. fatulency, belching, dys- pepsia. liver and kidney troubles, and malaria, fever and ague. It is Splen- did spring medicine and blood purifier, and as tonic for the rundown system it is unequaled. Try it. Our private stamp is over the neck of the bottle.

Barney Riggs Killed.

A press dispatch dated Fl Paso, April II, says that Barney Riggs was shot at Fort Stockton, Texas, but gives no par ticulars. Barney Riggs was formerly known in Arizona as ':killer" and a dead shot; and his reputation in that respect was doubtless we'll earned. He was at one time on the hill. One day desperate break was made by num- Der of the most dangerous cOnvicts in the prison. Some of them had secured guns. and for time general outbreak of all the convicts seemed imminent. Guard Hartlee shot four of tine desper- adoes, but some of the others had Su- perintendent Gates cornered and one man was close upon him and trying to kill him with knife, when Hartlee fired again from the wall, badly wound- ing the convict, but he still held the superintendent fast by the throat. He was on the point of pluhging the knife into Superintendent Gates's throat, when Barney Riggs, who was a trusty, grabbed d gun from one of the muti- neers and shot she superintendent s assailant through the heart. That was one good act to Barney's credit if he
 never did another.
