Christmas Suicide

E. J. Shaw, of Washington, D. C., a stranger in this part of the country, killed himself with a pistol at Calexico last Wednesday evening. He arrived in the town a day, or two before and took a room at the Thacher house, but gave no information about him self. He appeared i'll and de- pressed, and wandered about by himself, evading all inquiries as to%his condition. Early in the evening he went to the depot, sought a dark place behind a cal and put a bullet through his head. He had more than $100 in his nnckptS

Riverside Experts Quick to RecOg- nize Opportunities Opened in
 Imperial Valley
WILL SET OUT ORCHARDS
Citrus Growers Convinced That Con- ditions Are All Favorable For Great Production of Early Fruit, and Unhesitatingy Take the Lead.

Recognition of the fact that Imperial Valley is especially ad- apted to the growing of citrus fruit is spreading, and while farmers who have had no exper- fence with oranges are hesitating, orange growers from the citrus districts west of the mountains are preparing to set out groves, being confident that they are taking no chances. F. A. let ley, formerly of Riverside, is preparing seven acres near Ca lexico for orange trees, and w. G. Record, another Riverside grower, will set out 40 acres next spring.
 Dr. G. M. Dennis, who has been growing citrus fruit for a dozen years or more, has been looking over valley lands and studying conditions, and he is satisfied that Imperial Valley has distinct advantages over other portions of Southern California. Trees grow more rapidly here, bear a year earlier, produce bet ter fruit, which ripens two months in advance of Riverside, and, are not subject to scale because of the dry heat. Two months lead in getting ripe fruit to market IS a great advantage, as is shown by the experience of the Arizona growers, who get very high pri-. ces for early oranges.
 Dr. Dennis has found nothing indicative of danger to orange Erees and has no doubt that this valley will become great orange growing district in a very few years. He is negotiating for land, and when he secures a suit able tract he will put at least ten acres in oranges.
 The citrus fruit industry will be established here by men like these Riverside growers, who have had long experience and do not need to make experiments in the cultivation and care of trees. With their aid and guidance, settlers who lack experience can avoid mistakes and go ahead Tn confidence. Five years from now Imperial Valley will be shipping ripe oranges by the carload early } in November.

Water Company Candidate

The Calexico stockholders of Water Go. No. 1 have nominated E. s. McCullom as their candi- date for director at the election to be held in January. The pre- posed increase of capital stock is not viewed with unanimous ap- proval by water users, and it is not certain that the plan will be adopted. /
 V. Rapp, secretary of the lhl- perial County Abstract Co.,, was in El Centro over Christmas and will return to Los Angeles Mon day, where he will complete the work of transcribing the land records. This work is practically completed so that the company now has a complete record of all land office filings in Imperial Val ley with daily revisions.

IMPERIAL VALLEY STATISTICS
Questions Relating to Soil, Climate, Crops and Profits of Agriculture Answered in Booklet Issued by Fl Chamber of Commerce.

A booklet, giving concise and accurate information concerning Imperial Valley, it's products and its development, has been issued by the Ell Centro Chamber of Commerce, the Ira Aten Land Co. and the Colby Real Estate Co. for general distribution. It is compact and of a size convent ent for enclosure in letters, and it answers the questions asked by persons who contemplate in- vestment in Imperial county lands or business enterprises.
 Following a brief geographical description of the region is this general statement of conditions affecting agriculture:
 RICHES INCOMPATIBLE
 Here, in this valley, the Sun shine Kingdom of the Southwest, lie a half-million acres of the most productive lands within the borders of any continent. Its riches are incomparably greater than can be shown by any other section; depending not upon the mining of metals, which has but comparatively brief span of life nor upon the development of ar tifcial industrial schemes, but based upon the safe and sure re- turns of intensive farming under ideal conditions. No similar area with like physical conditions ex- ists elsewhere.
 What irrigation will do may be seen here to the fullest. In the East the artificial fertilization of the farm soils is essential to their continued productiveness, and the farmer of the humid regions is saddled with the support of a great fertilizer industry. Here, in the Sunshine Kingdom, the fertilizer question answers itself, for the sediments brought by the mountain and desert streams to the Rio Colorado, the source of supply for the Imperial Valley, are constantly renewing and re- vivifvino the soils to which they are applied.
 Questions relating to use and cost of water, climatic conditions, range of temperature, rainfall, etc., are answered fully. Fig ures and facts showing the growth and profits of dairy farm ing and stock raising and the re- markable adaptability of the val ley to those industries are given, followed by a section on inten- sive farming and the great re- turns derived from grapes and cantaloupes. Following are ex- cerpts from the section:
 GRAPES AND CANTALOUPES
 From the first car of grapes <shipped to New York on June n27th, 1907, through the El Cen tro Cantaloupe Growers Assocl- alton. of El Centro, net ireturns were received for the soc crates of $1, 800. This was the first crop for the year; the. second crop from the same vines was marketed in August and the thirC crop in November was placed ir the local markets. Grapes have been picked in October from root ed vines planted the previous January and July from cuttings planted IS months previously.
