A. F. AND l. eNYART. RANcHERs.

This is probably the best known firm

county
l.. Enyart. the senior member of the
firm. Is resident OF Nebraska aud IS
considered one OF its wealthy and sub
stantial mcG. Mr. Enyart is hero OF
the Confederate army. going South
with General Price in 1861. and serv-
ing through four years OF the most ex-
citing times Of the war OF the Rebel
lion. In 1865 he was discharged and
given transportation to Nebraska City.
Neb., at which place he arrived pos
sessed OF nothing but the clothes he
hod on. He is now president OF the
Farmers Bank Of Nebraska city and
has been continuously since its organ
ization in 1884.
\. F. Enyart came to Colorado first
in the summer of 1870. AT that time
there was no one living on the south
side of the Arkansas river between
where Manzanola now stands and three
miles east OF the present city of Rocky
Ford, Mr.. Enyart fitted up ranch on
the river three miles west of Timpas
creek in 1871. and purchased n small
bunch Of cattle. He and l.. Enyart be-
ing in partnership. after a few years
had elapsed they concluded to settle
up. Going over their books for a day
or two and finding their accounts did
not balance. they agreed to, and did.
destroy all papers and accounts and
decided that brothers could do business
with each other without any formality
This plan has been followed up to the
present time and has proven highly
satisfactory. While A. F. & l.. Enyart
are equal partners in their business in
Colorado and elsewhere. they are not
incorporated and there is net a scratch
of pen to show the relationship be
tween them.
A. f. Enyart was one of the smallest
taxpayers in the Rocky Ford precinct
in 1872. To-day the firm is rated as
one of the strongest in the county

Land and Water Company there would
be no Ordway.
This company furnishes all the water
that makes the Ordway country YER
liable garden. Its source of water sup
ply is ineXhaustible, coming from two
sources. The first, and perhaps the
largest supply comes from the Arkan-
sas river. When this supply fails, which
it sometimes does,a supplemental flow is
obtained from the Twin Lakes. which
have been converted into the largest
storage reservoir in the country. These
lakes are situated in the heart of the
Rocky Mountains, near Leadville. They
cover an area of over 1000 acres and
have depth of more than eighty feet.

The Twin Lake Land
And Water Company

Under the laws OF Colorado water can
he stored during the season OF plenty
and then draw on as occasion demands.
This is what Twin Lakes Land and
Water Company Is doing, and hence it's
magnificent supply OF water
The company has limited quantity
OF land on the market which can be
purchased at a reasonable price. Land
near ordway can be bought at from
$50 to $50 per acre. At points little
farther away some Of IL Is sold as low
as s35 per acre. These prices Inclgde

WHO WAS BUYER?
Imperial Telephone Company Passes
 to a Trust Company

The San Diego Union says: Coinci- dentally, or otherwise, three documents having a bearing upon the telephone sit uatioli in this county were filed at the court house yesterday. In view of the fact that it is reported from the north that the Home Telephone company is about to again attempt to invade this territory, now exclusively occupied by the Sunset company, another struggle seems to be scheduled.
 Document No. l was filed with the county clerk. It was certified copy of the articles of incorporation of the Sun set Telephone and Telegraph company. The company is capitalized at three mil lion dollars, the stock being divided into 30,000 shares at $100 each. Seven trus- tees in 1889 had subscribed for $l00, ,000 worth.
 Document No. was record of the sale of the Imperial telephone system, its routes, its franchises, it's wires, its instruments-in fact all it's interests by w. F. Holt to the Imperial Telephone company. The purchase price was $35,- GOO. The deal was consummated August $, 1903. MT. Holt's system serves Inn perial, Brawley, Calexico, and Old Beach and includes rights guaranteed by the Imperial Land company and the Blue Lake Town company.
 The third document is a trust deed of the Imperial Telephone Company to the Los Angeles Trust company, dated July l, 1903. It sets forth that 250 shares of the capital stock at $l0O each had been subscribed and that the directors had passed a resolution authorizing the ere ation of a bonded indebtedness of $lO,- 900 for the purpose of buying and taking over the Holt plant.
 The consideration named in the deed is one dollar The telephone company's entire interests, with the exception of

duction of such staples as grain, beef and pork.
 Taking into consideration the limita- tions on irrigating water and demand for fruit, the growth of Southern Calif- ornia industries henceforth, at least for a few years, must be almost wholly con fined to manufacturing, mining and ag- ricultural pursuits looking to the pro- duction of such staples as grain, meat and dairy products.
 The manufacturer will naturally cen ter his work in the cities. The miner will have city home, but the agricul- turist will seek the place where he can get the most water and the best land for the least money. The new conner who wishes to engage in fruit growing several years ago discovered that it was better to buy grown orchard than to plant a new one, and each person who enters horticulture simply releases another candidate for Imperial from the list of fruit growers.
 Because there is no other section where so good land and such bounti- ful supply of water can be obtained for so little money, Imperial valley is in a fair way to get the overwhelming pro- portion of the influx of people to South ern California. The one thing needed to bring that about is to make the mer- it's of the valley known, and that is be- ing done better than ever before. To have gained 400O people for the valley in three years, thus starting the rapid development of the valley, is greater accomplishment than anything we can do in the future. We will get from 10,- GOO to 15,0O0 new people this winter with less exertion, and this will begin when the vacation season is ended after the ball is over.

Rev. IT, c. Mullen will preach at the hall in Imperial Sunday morning and night. The sacraments of the Lords s Supper and baptism will be adminis- tered, and the services in the morning will begin promptly at 10 80. Every body is cordially invited.
 Each evening the train brings in a delegation ofnew people and old settlers returning from vacations at the coast. Tuesday evening the car was well filled, and the indications are that within q month there will be need for an extra coach on the Imperial train.
 D. R. Russell has found a perfectly preserved skull while at work on the eX- tension of the canal of Imperial Water Company No. 5, the skull being turned up by plow All the teeth were in place, and they indicated that the skull was that of an Indian boy about eight cen years old.
 Mrs. Hector White returned Thursday from the coast. She was joined at Ban ming by MT. White, who accompanied her, suffering renewal of the asthlnatic trouble at the coast and being forced to return to Banning, where he was quite sick for several weeks, Mrs. White re- mainlng with him until he had consider ably improved.
 The warehouse of George w. McNear 6l Co.,, which has been under construc- tion, will be moved back further from the track, to enable the Southern Pa cific Company to lay two side tracks be- tween the warehouse and railroad, in- stead of one, as was intended. A civil engineer has been sent here to lay out the side tracks. As the company al- ready has two side tracks a half mile in length, it looks as though the railroad people expect to do big business at Inn perial.

AFTER THE BALL IS OVER
Southern California Now Given Over
 to Summer Vacations

This is the time of year when business cares everywhere are laid aside as com pletely as possible, that everybody can have the needed summer outing. Dur ing the last few days the editor of the Press has made a flying trip to the coast, finding all of the towns of South ern California which were seen almost deserted. Even Los Angeles streets were quiet. The people were seen at the beaches, by the tens of thousands, and nearly a thousand people were found on one of the Catalina steamers. This condition will last another month, when, about the middle of September, people will return to their normal occu- pations and by October business of all kinds will begin to boom once more.
 Then it will be that Imperial valley will make the greatest strides in its his tory. There is no other agricultural section in the Southwest which is so much talked of, or which will be seen by so great a number of home seekers as our own section. All through Southern California are thousands of persons who express their intention of visiting the valley so soon as the vacation period is over, and the few who are now coming in are but the advance forces of the great army of invasion soon to material ize.
 The fact is that all Southern Califor- mia is enjoying a period of industrial growth exceeding that 'of any previous time. The tide of immigration from many older States has unquestionably started toward this State, but there is a general realization of the fact that fruit growing has about reached the maxi mum of its possibilities from market ing standpoint, and there is great ten deney to reach out into the field of pro
