 their growing season and are as thrifty as they could possibly be. The canta loupe men are all Hon velvet" so to speak and hereafter we expect to see barley ranching at a discount where the lands are close in to shipping facil- ities or especially adapted to canta loupes. The L. M. Lyon Go. is hand ling all the melons in the Valley and this we believe to be good thing for all concerned. It causes all the mel ons to be handled through one head and by causing a proper distribution of the crop prevents any market from getting glutted and breaking prices. By handling the cantaloupes in this way the markets can be kept keen for them, highprices can be maintained and everyone of the cantaloupes grown in this Valley can be marketed so as to bring the grower big money. There is no doubt but that the cantaloupe crop of this Valley will bring the growers at least three hundred thousand dollars or an average of nearly two hundred dol lars per acre for the entire acreage planted. Mir. Lyon tells everyone to take just as good care as possible of their vines, for he can sell every canta- loupe they can raise until August 2Oth and get big money for them for the growers. As that is seven weeks away it can be seen that the growers with the late melons will get just as big slice of the pie as the earlier ones.
 And the quality of the Imperial Val ley cantaloupes as compared to those raised in Florida and Georgia. This is best shown by the market reports re- ceived. While Georgia and Florida cantaloupes are quoted at $l.5O per crate those from this Valley are selling for $4.50 to $5,5O per crate right along side of them. It is the quality that counts and that gives us the market Our cantaloupes are fit for kings breakfast and it is no wonder the east ern market gobbles up all of them they can get and cry out for more.
 The cantsloupe harvest is making a big difference with business in all the towns of the Valley where they can be raised and the value of such crop and of having good land in close prox- imity to the town has been amply de- monstrated. During the height of the season the farmers find their hours are pretty long. We judge this to be the case by the fact that they all come to town after sundoWn with loads of can taloupes which must then be loaded in the cars and the cars iced and gotten ready for shipment out on the morning train. The men in the shipping shed work nearly all night loading and icing cars. It is a busy scene and the beau ty of it is that it is as near perpetual motion while it lasts in making money for the farmer as one could imagine.
 Nearly every day Hart and Griswold bring in one hundred crates of canta- loupes and they have brought in as high as l28 crates in day. With these netting them five dollars crate as several hundred of them did they have Klondike gold mine beat a mile. Every farmer who has a good canta- loupe field no matter whether it is early or late has little Klondike of his own right here at home And as long as sane business principles pre- vail and they don't cut the business up and get to competing against each

LIGHT ON BUREE MYSTERY
Startling Developments Said to Point t.
Solution Of Problem.
BOY NOT KILLED ~a,LLY BY ACCIDENT
CeRseless Vigilance OF Family,
Through Detectives, Brings out
InterestinE Facts which
May Reopen the Case.

Startling developments have just come
to the surface relative TO the death of
Herbert G. Burke at Florence the night
Of October Z. and it is believed they will
result in the solution Of that mystery in
the near future.
While the matter has been permitted TO
languish apparently, for several weeks, the
family Of young Burke has not for an
hour relaxed its efforts to probe the mys-
terry to the bottom by the employment of
the best detective talent in the country.
Some of these men are now in Omahn clos
ing up q web Of evidence which they shy
will show that Herbert Burke came to his
death not wholly by accidental means ana
that the body was carried from the scene
Of his death aud carefully laid where It
was found at an early hour Monday morn
IN. October 8
They have very definite theory as To
the exact manner OF his death, but this IS
ono point they viii not divulge for while.
May Recall same Jury.
The details Of the Investigations made by
the cOroner's jury are still fresh in the
memory Of the public. Il is further prob
able the same jury may be reconvcned to
make IL re-examlnation into the case to
consider the new evidence recently discov-
cred.
This new evidence will disclose the fact
beyond dispute that Burke did not meet
his death by falling from the dump car,
but that he was killed some distance from
where the body was laid. that his death
occurred some hours before the body was
carried to the point where discovered, and
that the body was rigid in death when laid
where found. Whether he came to his
death by accidental or purposely foul
means remains yet to be definitely determ-
!ned.
In any event sufficient new evidence has
been unearthed to warrant the possible re-
call. of the coroner's jury at no distant
date to take further cognizance of the de-
plorable affair

John W. Alexander was president of the New
York Life Insurance Company and a person.
age of ample paunch, exceeding self content
and evident prosperity. He was called a
captain of industry by the trainboy maya
zines. and he thought very well of himself.
Then came the insurance investigation and the
deluge. Today Mr. Alexander is a mental
aud physical wreck, with none so poor TO do
him reverence He has paid the price.
A year ago Messrs. McCurdy and Mccall
we're also the objects of great popular envy.
They we're pointed TO by DIR. 0nson SWEET
Marden aud other professional moralists as
shining examples for the youth of America.
They represented virtue incarnale and chrys
talized pie,y. They dined frequently and
fJndly; they bought automobiles; they laid
down rules for success in life; they dwell: M
marble halls. Today McCurdy's press agent
is trying to arouse sympathy for him By send
ing out moving stories Of his remorse, and
MEGA is an invalid at Lakewood. Both of
them have paid The price.
Six months ago Justice Deuel. WAS an orna-
meut of the New York Judiciary. He held
the scale Of Justice over his fellow men by day
aud operated upon them with literary black
Jack al night He made speeches at bauquets
and got his portrait into the illustrated week

sudden, came the Town Topics case-and

He grew i'll; he took to his bed; today he is
miserable old man with the canker Of regret

a dangerous occupation.

are paying the price-Ihe bitter price Of wrong

Cuba is free, and great will be her future.
Her laws are uo1 generous and just
Cuba is now free to worship God according
TO each ones dictate. This will make her peo.
ME better; competition in politics makes bet.
ter statesmen and better laws; competition in
church makes better churches and raises the
standard of morality. As goes America, so
goes Cuba, so goes the world. We now go TO
the tomb where Christopher Columbus was
buried, said TO be the place where he first
landed and kissed the ground. From here to
to the Castle where the cremated ashes OF his
bones were kept for many years after they
were taken from the tomb. But alas! Spain
took the last remains back with her when she
surrendered her last territory in the Western
Hemisphere. We forgot to mention the sub
urbs of Havana In the suburbs you find beau
tiful cottages surrounded with all kinds OF
tropical plants. Here the country people
bring their fruit and sell it cheaply. 1t is so
delicious that it is sometimes difficult to Judge
when you have eaten enough. Our party
went to Matanzas, "a miles from Havana.
There the American Navy planted the hrst stars
and stripes, and landed the first soldiers to
defend it. We went by rail, and more inter
esting scenes are rarely witnessed in any part
of the world. Palm groves wherever you look;
here and there an orange groves banana
groves everywhere; miles of sugar cane fields;
hundreds of farmers hauling their cane to the
mill with four to eight yokes of oxen hitched
to heavy cart; hundreds of native huts made
of the leaves of palms. In fact the entire
country looks royal. like Paradise. | shall
never forget my trip to the Island of Cuba.
