John Boyn, residing near. Princeton,
Mimi, was an heir to the Seryian
throne,oit has developed that there are
other descendants along the same line
in .Winona.. AS there are several lives
between them and the throne along the
Obrenovitch descent it is unlikely that
even in the remote event that the
Oprenovitchs were again made the
royal line they would never have an
opportunity, to ascend the throne.
Nevertheless, the story is interesting.
''The facts are related by Miss
Emma Speckman, teacher in the
Winona public schools, who has two
other sisters residing here, one, Miss
Bertha Speckman, teacher in drawing
in the Winona normal school. and
also a brother, John S. Speckman,
employed in a hardware establish
ment in Duluth. While at first disin-
clined to speak, Miss Speckman finally
said that her grandmother was con
versant with the whole affair and Of

G., Speckman,; in his lifetime had Of
ten jocularly reminded them as chill
idren that they should be careful and
good as they were of one of the ro,val
families of Europe.
"But while he did not explain, the
facts, as carefully ascertained, are
that August .Boyn, who claimed to be
t the rightful heir to the Servian throne
and who died in Belgrade in 1877 at

was married to David Irmscher in

SALE OF BANK
George A. Carter Succeeds to Interest
 of Messrs. Holt

Thursday morning there was con- summated the sale of the interests of W. F. Holt and Leroy Holt in the First National Bank of Imperial to George A. Carter of Pomona and a prominent Los Angeles banker.
 Mir. Carter was prominently identified with Imperial valley industries for about two years, leaving a year ago. For months he travelled through Pacific coast states looking for an opening, and finding nothing that promised so we'll as Imperial valley, he decided to return here. The result was the purchase of the bank.
 Mir. Leroy Holt some months since acquired the larger portion of the inter est of his brother in the bank, but has found the rapid growth of business to confne him too closely for his physical good, and was consequently will ing to part with his interests.
 Messrs. Holt will remain in the valley, and their capital will be used as hereto fore in promoting local affairs.
 The organization of the bank will re- main unchanged for time, with w. F.. Holt as president and Leroy Holt as cashier, though Mir. Carter will at once join the working force of the bank, and will go on the directorate.

SOME MORE NONSENSE
More News Which Drifts In From Far
 Away

away
 A subscriber sends the Press copy of the Chicago South Side Daily Sun in which appears an absurd article regard ing this country, which is mistakenly placed in Arizona, instead of California. If the editor was to look over the 10000 acres of growing crops on what was once the Colorado desert, he would realize his ignorance regarding Imperial valley. The article follows:
 Tn the western p'rtion of Arizona and extending down into Mexico is vast area of arid land that is now useless. More than this, the land is a detriment, since it is here the hot winds originate that sweep eastward through Arizona, New Mexico and even extending into Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. With his field crop approaching maturity and prospects favorable for an abundant yield the western farmer has seen his hopes wither into shriveled leaves by the hot winds that come out of the west springing originally from the Great American Desert"
 On the counter-action of the effects of these winds in large measure depends the success of the semi-arid regions of the west as an agricultural country. There are two ways open. One Is lrrl- gation that will counteract the effects of the hot winds, and the other is to end the winds themselves.
 In a late issue the San Angelo (Texasi Standard calls attention to proposi- ton that suggests no less than the gi- gantic undertaking of turning the American desert" into large lake by diverting the Colorado river from its course and turning it into this area. In one instance on record high water drove the Colorado from its bank and flooded an area of nearly 100 square miles with mean depth of ten feet. It is claimed that this arid section con-  tains at least tract of l75 times 800 miles, with considerable portions at least 400 feet below the level of the sea.
 Men who have studied the matter claim that a vast lake can be made here that would contain something like S7 800 square miles, and that instead of being the birthplace of hot, whitening winds it would furnish an unusual amount of humidity to the atmosphere and mate rially change the agricultural prospects over hundreds of thousands of square miles of territory to the east.
 This proposition is as startling as it is unique, while the possibilities that the scheme holds are wonderful. Irrigation experts can do no less than investigate the feasibility of the plan.

VALUE OF CROP
Farmers This Year Receiving
 Large Revenue
HEAVY HAY SHIPMENTS
Over Half Million Dollars Will Adu-
 ally Be Received for Products

It is very difficult matter this year to determine even approximately what the revenue of the valley will be from the products of the soil, for the reason that it will come from a number of sources, some of which cannot be we'll estimated.
 R. F.. Toomey, local manager for George W. McNear & Co.,, has been looking into the grain and hay situa- tion, and he estimates that over 1000 tons of grain hay will be cut in the val ley this year. At valuation of s to $9 ton, this implies that about $l25 900 will be received for the hay. Of this possibly as much as 10000 tons will be shipped to Southern California mar kets.
 Last year about 100000 sacks of grain were shipped from the valley, for which the farmers received about f120,0OO. But in May last year the price of barley was 65 cents, and now 1t is 92 cents in Imperial. The present indication is for yield about equal to that of last year, but the increased price should bring the farmers fully sl50,OOO, giving for the harvested grain and hay crop about s275,0OO. l This revenue is far below what it was expected the crop would bring, but the shrinkage is in large part due to the i'm portation of thousands of head of cattle, which were pastured on the grain fields. In some cases the farmers pastured the cattle on the fields by the month with out damage to the crops, but in other cases they sold the crops outright to the cattlemen for pasture at from $6 to $l0 an acre. It is probab ble that in the neigh borhood of s75, 900 has been realized by the farmers in this way.
 The dairy industry is now estimated to be bringing farmers $S,0O0 month, or $l00, 900 year, and this leaves but s50,0O0 lacking in the production of al ialfa, hogs and other commodities to bring the total revenue of the farms of the valley to about half million dol lars
 To this, then, is to be added the sum- mer crop of Egyptian and kaffir corn, and it will be by far the largest crop of the kind yet grown in the valley. There is every reason to expect that the de- mand for the crop will be heavy, and that many more cattle will be imported | to consume 1t.
 Taking everything into consideration, it is probable that the :, 1000 people in the valley will this year produce $700, GOO worth of grain hay, grain, alfalfa, butter, pork and beef, or $l00 for each individual. This is an average of $500 for each family in the valley.
 1t is true there has been water short age which has tended to keep down pro duction. It is true that many mistakes have been made by farmers who are not accustomed to this kind of farming. It is true that the farmers have not had time to get their farms in first class con dition. And yet, in spite of all these conditions the results are highly en-
