ALFONSO DIDN'T FLIPFLOP
Report That He Turned Somersaults
for Queen Alexandra Is Now
Officially Denied

MADRID Dec 3O.-The rumor has
been widely circulated abroad that
young King Alfonso during his visit
to England found occasion to make
himself agreeable to Queen Alexandra
by turning a few sOmersaults i'm one
Of the galleries of the Buckingham
palace.
The story is too ridiculous to deserve
formal denial.
The king, it is true, prides himself on
his ability to execute the most daring
acrobatic feats with the precision of a
trained professional, but he is a too
well educated and intelligent young
man TO let his enthusiasm carry him
so far as TO perform his acrobatic
stunts in the presence of no less a
respectable person than the English
queen.

Opportunity Open for
Two Weeks Only

There are thousands Of people in CAL
ifornia who if they knew the actual
facts just as they are would fill our
offices full to the doors. They would
want homes in this colony-where for a
short time land can be purchased at
the average wholesale price of $40 per
acre on easy terms-where the earning
capacity of each acre will i'll our opinion
be from so to 100 per cent greater than
alfalfa, corn, cattle and hog raising. for
which these lands are already famous.
If you are one of those who don't
know, come in and talk it over. Get the
details We already have over 500
families who are securing these lands
and there is only land for about fifty
more families, so you have no time to
lose.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-12-31

The top dressing of silt makes it very
easy of cultivation, naturally retentiVe
of moisture and very well suited Tor
colony home places. Aside from the
physical character of the soil, the al
most even surface renders it ideal for
inexpensive irrigation practice.
This location should not be confused
with the lake-bed lands which are sub
ject to possible overflow, but accord
ing to the map are near the old 1854
survey of the shore line.
TREE GROWTH: We observed
date and fan palms and eucalyptus
trees in this territory on similar soil.
1t is a new country and has been
devoted largely to plain farming
products, although each home was
surrounded with very good tree growth.
We saw some very fine olive trees,
six to eight years old, with good crops
of olives upon them. Pear trees, eX-
cellent grape vines and figs and ons
or two walnut trees were observed.
The walnut tree was probably eight
years old, of vigorous growth but
closely pruned back.
PRODUCTS: To all appearances
this soil is we'll adapted for all of the
general farming products, such as corn,
kafflr corn, alfalfa, wheat, vegetables,
and in our opinion is ideal for potatoes
and peanuts.
"RESOURCES: Many of the ar
tesian wells in this belt also produce
a good lighting and heating gas, which
bubbles up through the water. 1t is n
hydrogen gas, without odor or peril
and in many farm homes is used for
all fuel and lighting purposes. The
wells on our tract are not so strong
with gas, but the immediate adjacent
land is rich therein, all OF which may
prove of great economic value to our
community. A pumping station of the
Coalinga Oil company almost immedi-
ately adjoins our tract on the east.
There Is an abundance Of coarse sand
within a few miles for building ma
terial.

Big Money in Vegetables
Grown for Factory

A factory for concentrating and pre-
serving vegetables will be established
in ALPAUGH, and growers in this
colony will enjoy a better all-the-year
market for small fruits and vegetable
products than either Los Angeles or
San Francisco affords. fixed schedule
of prices will be paid and you will know
exactly what your berries, potatoes,
onions, rhubarb, pumpkins and other
vegetable products will bring per pound
before you plant 1t means a proper
and scientific rotation of crops best
adapted to this soil. This enterprise
promises one of the greatest oppor-
tunities for money making ever offered
to California growers. Come and see
for yourself.

Extracts from Prof.
FOWIer'S Report

This tract is especially adapted for
the production of alfalfa, corn and
various food products.
"Dairying, chicken raising, hog rails
ing and cattle fattening for market,
etc.
"Water will be obtained from ar
tesian wells. All of the tract is well
within the lines of the great artesian
basin.
'The water obtained from the deep
wells is of fine quality, as shown from
analysis of many wells now flowing.
From the ANALYSIS of the soil and
the personal examination of the land,
I should feel safe in securing from
this tract of land for my personal use,
if I were seeking land for the purposes
above described"

Plenty of Water

Water for irrigation is secured from
artesian wells at cost not to exceed
$1.5O for twenty-four hours flow of 100
miners inches. The water and water
system will be owned by the people-no
profits to any water company.

Extracts from
Committees Report

THE land is almost perfectly smooth,
with regular slope of about one foot
to the mile. The subsoil is a sedi-
mentary deposit known as the Lake
bed formation, said to be 100 or more
feet deep. 1t is covered with a silt
deposit of from six inches to seven
feet in depth, all of which is rich in
humus, and we believe it equal to any
of the very best soils in the state of
California for general farm products.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-12-31
The Climate

There is not a more healthful climate
in California. The summer months are
warmer than in Los Angeles, but no
warmer than Redlands or San Bernar-
dino. and under the big trees of the
government forest reserve is a fine
place to camp. The high Serras-a
dozen or more peaks over $1,000 feet
high-border the valley on the west.

Opportunities for
Business Men
and Investors

The new town of ALPAUGH will be
in the center of very large and rich
territory. When you know all the facts
you will agree that Alpaugh will make
a good business town. From 400 to 900
families will settle in and around this
town within year, and you know what
that means from business standpoint.

The Home Extension
Plan

The plan upon which these lands will
be distributed is new. Five hundred or
more families join together and pur-
chase u large tract of land direct from
the owners and suh6ivide it among
themselves at the wholesale price. In
this way the land is purchased for less
than half of what adjoining land is
now actually selling for in retail lots of
ten, twenty or forty acres. Each pur-
chaser agrees to make Improvements
within one year, which bars the specu-
lator. This is not cooperative colony
in any sense; after the lands have been
purchased each man owns his land the
same as if bought in the usual retail
way. The first years payment is $500
per acre; balance in four yearly pay

Town Lots From
$14 to $40

Here is an opportunity to secure one
or two residence lots which you KNOW
will increase rapidly in value. Water
piped TO each lot. No more than two
residence lots to each purchaser. Come
to our office and get the details.
Business lots are graded in price
from $40 to $3.50. which includes a side
walk and the piping of water to each
lot
No profit is made on any lot in the
townsite, except the $40 allotment fee
of the association-all other moneys
above the actual cost of the land go
into sidewalks, street improvements
and water funds
A quarter of a million dollars will
be expended in improvements during
the year. over half this amount is
already guaranteed by contracts.

How This Land Was
Selected

The Homeseekers' club elected by bal
lot a committee of seven experienced
California farmers who made a careful
investigation of soil conditions, water
supply, ETC., and the full report of this
committee, which gives both sides of
the question, may be had at our office.

EXHIBITION OF OFFICIAL CRUELTY
Policeman Chokes Young Man Into
Unconscious.

Policeman Jos. Tauer arrested Emil
Severson Saturday afternoon while he
was in the rear of the Stricken build
ing. The young man was somewhat
under the influence of drink and this is
given as the reason for causing his
arrest. He was taken before justice
late in the evening and the case was
dismissed, there being no grounds on
which to hold the young man.
During the arrest it is claimed, by
those who witnessed the scene, that I'M
usual and unnecessary violence was
used and the young man was shamful-
ly misused. Witnesses say that the
policeman choked the boy until he was
unconscious and the blood came from
his mouth and nose and it was some
time before he recovered, in the mean
time he was handcuffed with two pairs
of handouts and loaded into wagon
to be taken to the county jail.
Witnesses say that it was the most
shocking exhibition of cruelty in the
shape authority in Office that has ever
been exhibited in this city. The un-
fortunate young man is of very
small stature and the policeman is one
of the strongest men in the city. II
there is any excuse for the affair it
has not come to light.

GOESTO HAPPY HUNTING GROUNDS
'Pete' Consigned to Earth With
Impressive Ceremonies.

With simple yet impressive cere-
monies the remains of "Pete," the
valuable pointer belonging to Julius
Krause, which was killed by being run
over by one of the hose carts of the
fire department last Tuesday evening,
were laid to their last long resting
place in the dog cemetery near the
creamery, Wednesday morning.
1t was a short but mournful pro-
cession that followed the remains of
the dumb animal to the creamery that
morning and as its bodywas consigned
to earth in a neat wooden casket there
passed from the sight Of human eyes
one of the most highly valued CANNES
ever owned in this city. He was the
third pointer to be laid to rest at this
place, the other two dogs belonging to
John Muhs and William E. Koch.
"Pete's'' sad death came Tuesday
evening, July 25, 1905. He had &C
companied his mistress down town and
when near the Eckstein corner on North
Minnesota street the animal came in
the way of a fast passing hose cart
that was out for practice. The dog
was in his third year and had been
reared in this city. He was known
among hunters as the best trained OF
his kind and until recently his owner
had been offered the neat sum of 1926
for him but no money could buy the
animal as stated by Mr.. Krause. Many
agreements had been made by numer-
Gus hunters of the city to securesst the
pointer for their annual fall shooting
and their disappointment cannot be
expressed.
