WHY IMPERIAL VALLEY WILL
 PROSPER

dGIlOu III UuOlllNoO SlA NlNo III ChAC Valley in the very near future is apparent to anyone who will take the trouble to consider the many factors that will bring 1t to pass. To begin with 1t can be said that August is proverbially the dull summer season, when business everywhere is at low ebb. Then 1t should be borne i'll mind that the more than 5000 people who have gone out of the Valley to spend their summer vacations have taken ott at least $I50,000 from local circulation, This for the causes of present time dull ness. Now for the causes that will make the sharp reaction.
 First, the wanderers will re- turn, and a large number of new settlers will come, too. These people will bring i'll new energy and new capital, to employ i'll upbuilding our Valley. The California Development Company will carry out their plans to con- trol the inflow of water from the Colorado and every feature of their great work of controlling the floods will be complete and safe before another high water stage. The Southern Pacific will build their line through Mexico during the coming winter and begin running their overland trains through Imperial Valley. The dairy industry will be given a great impetus by the introduc- tion of better methods of market ing it's products. Our farmers will sow an enormous area to alfalfa and will prepare to con- duct their operations on different lines, grain growing giving way to dairying and the raising of cattle and hogs
 While all these factors will be active, there is another that will contribute it's full share to the development of our Valley. We refer to the Holton Power Com p ny. During the past week we have talked with MT. w. F. Holt the president and general manager of this company and We find him all optimist to the core on everything connected with Imperial Valley, He states that his company is going to expend a quarter of million dollars in construction work 1n this Valley during the coming season. He has his campaign of development we'll planned and in hand. The poles are already delivered at Ho,tville for thirty five miles of transmission lines to carry electricity tor light and power to Calexico, Imperial and BrawIey. The power canal is completed and tested, the pen stock for tue power house is also in place aud ready for use, the foundation for the great power house of this Company is now done, the machinery is on the ground, the brick is already burned aud everything is in readiness for the rapid comple- tion of their works and the in- .stallation of their business. It IS also tue intention of MT. Holt and his associates to build an up to date ice manufacturing and cold storage plant i'll the Valley with a view to the handling of the milk output on entirely new lines, and n a much more profit able manner to the farmers than Is possible by the ordinary cream cry method.
 A number of other enterprises are being planned by other capi- talists and we confidently predict tbatas soon as cool weather re- turns. Imperial Valley will be on of the Hveliest places Ill the west. There is a number ol factors that has been vol king

bages, turnips and beets, containing lit

why a crop Of potatoes II properly

Canned Fruit For Dessert.

Canned fruit may be used for des-
serts In many ways. The juice In the
can should be heavily sweetened and
boiled down TO a strip. This makes the
fruit richer. Common canned peaches
heated in thick strip and served with
cream are very good indeed. Canned
raspberries make delicious Bavarian
cream or charlotte russo.

JENKINS MASTER
OF FRANK G0TCH
Iowa Man Unable to Do Anything
With Big Cleveland
Wrestler.

New York, May 20.-In the toughest and most
exciting wrestling match ever seen here Tom
Jenkins defeated Frank Gotch two out of three
falls in Madison Square Garden last night
Those who witnessed the match never will forget
it, Biting, scratching pulling and similar
methods-in fact, everything that is contrary
to the universally accepted wrestling rules was
INDUCED in.
Gotch began the first bout with his usual
roughing tactics, but soon found Jenkins his
equal in this respect. So fierce was the Cruel
ling that both men were forced halfway out
of the ring numerous occasions. Gotch pro-
tested strenuously against jenkins methods, but
Referee Hurst ordered him to resume wrestling.
Finally after 1:27:57 of the most desperate
kind Of wrestling, Jenkins gained the first fall
with what was announced as mug hold
and half-Nelson.'' To those around the ring
side it was plainly strangle hold that made
the 1owan roll over on his back
Gotch went at jenkins Wcously in. the next
bout He threw Tom around the mat as If
the latter We're rag doll. He cornered the
elusive CleVelander and obtained : the second
fall with a strangle hold in O:36:23 seconds.
Both looked tired as they came ON for the dc.
Gliding fall. Gotchs aggressive work in the
preceding bouts now showed its effect and he
was, obliged to; assume the Defensive, after
squirn1ing out Of several dangerous holds, he
fell Into a body hold and a half Nelson and his
shoulders We're forced to the mat in Q :11:lO.

The Lucky Seventh.
The seventh marked the next outbreak of the
Indians and the millers. 1t a scoring time
for both sides with the Watkins aggregation
coming off with the best y the contest. Roth
landed fair and square on Stovall for beaut1-
full hit. 1t sailed to the fence, Cy Coulter not
being able to knock it down 1t went by. Roth
romped to third. Ostenn came up and drove
singing clout to right and Roth came home.
That the first and last score of the In
dians.
Stovall led off at bat for the millers and
made clean single. Reidy threw wild to catch
Jones at first base and StOvall gained second,
with Jones safe first. Sullivan made a sim
gle and Stoval scored. Coulter flew out to deep
right and Jones came across the pan, bringing
up the to Al. where it stood thruout the
remainder Of the contest.
Louisville is on this afternoon. and from the
!. ball the milers have played in the last two
days it looks as tho the Tebeau .'tarriers''
should go home with cans tied to them. Min

Play Of the Week.
The play of the week has been better in that
: the Minneapolis team has been hitting better.
The out1eld is hitting satisfactorily, but the
inheld is not up to the proper, work yet Free
man is showing that he is still in the world
of lambasts, but Fox. Oyler and Greminger have
not been doing well. Fox's play and head
work at second excuses him from not being
strong with the willow, but Greminger and
Oyler should lace 1t out. The big third base
man has string Of hitting history back of
him, scattered thru three leagues. The fans
know he and will hit and have been patient
with his lapse. They are squeezing" for him
every time he comes UP and all he lacks is
gaining of confidence. Oyler is getting to the
: pitchers all Of the time but seems to be un
lucky in getting outfelder under his belts. He
generally drives the ball to the outfeld and
seldom strikes out. He, too, is favorite, and
the fans would like to him crawl higher in
the hitting column In fielding the team has
it over anything which has appeared here this
year.

TAKE FINAL GAME
FROM INDIANS
Minneapolis and Indianapolis Put
Up Rattling Battle in Con-
test of Yesterday.
BY O'Louqhlin.

Beatitude an inch thick and harmony like unto
Quaker quarterly meeting prevailed at Mic
ollet park yesterday afternoon. Minneapolis
suppressed the indianapolis team in one of the
best baseball exhibitions Of the year. The
weather conditions ideal, n large crowd
present and Stovall pitching in mid
season form. The field cleaning house every
time stray bat-raveling hoa ted out the
heather and the rascals hitting. That was
about all there to it. Indianapolis managed
to squeeze in onte run. but they made it thru
clean-cut hitting. and We're entitled to it.
Both pitchers, Reidy and Stovall, We're steady
and effective. The game started off we'll when
the first three Indians up were scalDed, altho
Farrell drew four balls He tried to steal sec
ond. but Herr Schmidt shunted the ball ahead
aand it waited for Farrell at the base. Thrice
the Indians tried larceny Of second and just as
often did Constable Schmidt rebuke them by
throwing them out.
Jones, first IN for Minneapolis, put the wood
against the leather for single and Sullivan
sacrificed. Freeman's out put Jones at third
and he came home Coulters single. The
game passed quietly until the fourth, when
Greminger started the disturbance by a single.
Fox pumped foater between the helders and
Schmidt got half-nelson Reidy and drove
