SAN FRANCISCO. April 16.-Almost
every sporting writer in this city, to-
gether with every man that could be
pressed into service to aid in the search,
has been looking high and low for Jack
O'Brien, but up to a late hour tonight
he could not be located
One of the morning papers will to-
morrow say that it looks very much
as though there would be no Burns
OBrien fight because the Phiadelph-
ian, who is past master at such
things, had disappeared for the purpose
Of vexing Manager McCarey to such
an extent that the impresario will de-
clare the mill off.
Developments from Los Angeles are
eagerly awaited here, and the con-
sensus of opinion along Fillmore street
Is that Burns and O'Brien VIII not come
together In the southern city IN May.

ACTUAL SETTLER
 GETS THE LAND
General Prescott Decides in Favor of Abraham L. Smith in I'm
 pOrtant Contest

General Frank c. Prescott, register of the general land office, has decided against Charles F, Dearborn in his contest for a desert claim against Abraham L. Smith, who got the property in Imperial valley from Esta R. Phillips.
 The case is one of particular importance in Imperial valley because it involves water rights. MT. Smith has occupied the land and has cultivated it as far as possible and the registrar and recorder of the land office based their opinion on the fact that MT. Smith has worked the land for his sustenance. He has eX- pended a large sum of money in cultivating the land and nothing was shown in the contest to in- dicate that he did not intend to make the place his permanent home.
 The contestee in the case pur- chased thirty shares of stock in Imperial Water Company No. 1 for $375, with the expectation of using the water on his land.
 On December 8, 1906, MT. Dearborn filed his contest, de- claring that no improvements had been made on the claim. The trial of the case was held last April. It developed that the water rights obtained by the holder of the land did not affect this particular claim, but that another water right applied here and could be utilized on this land without affecting any other land.
 Accordingly General Prescott decided in favor of the man who lived on the land.

State Farmers Institute

A State Farmers Institute will be held at the University Farm at Davisville October 29, 30 and 31. The meeting will be significant in that it will mark the inauguration of a campaign of education with the direct object of letting the men and women, the boys and girls of California see and hear what is being done and what it is plan ned to do at this place for the advancement of their agricultur- al interests. The opening of the University Farm marks a mighty stride forward in an up-to-date and progressive educational movement along practical lines.
 There will be present at this meeting men and women from all parts ot the State -individu- als who have been successful in the practical working of their farms s-Who have made the busi- ness pay-and these will tell how this success has been attained and will point the way toward successful work and practice at the aUniversity Farm. On the other hand, the experiment sta- tion worker, the investigator, will be at these meetings to tell of his work and methods and thus both the practical and theo- retical will receive their due need of attention. Men who in the broadest sense of the word stand for material and education- al advancement, the Governor, the president of the State Uni versity; these men will lend counsel and wisdom at the Davis vile meeting.

QUAIL SEASON OPEN
Birds Said to Be Plentiful In Many
 Parts of The Valley

According to the state law the quail hunting season opened on Tuesday of this week. The birds are numerous in most parts of Imperial valley and the sport this season will undoubtedly be good. Many hunters have come into the valley for the express purpose of hunting and reports received thus far indicate that they are having good success.
 The opening of the season has kept the County Clerks office in San Bernardino busy all the week and a large number of hunters have made application for tags.
 "Can one hunt or trap quail destroying crops?" is the old question whidh once again has been put up to the San Bernar- dino District Attorneys office. It seems that in several sections of that county quail are actually overrunning some of the vine yards. w. M. Bristol of High land, owner of a vineyard, has been trapping quail.
 The other day Game Warden James Vale got wind of the affair, and on interviewing MT. Bristol learned from that gentle man that he was acting within his rights under the law. For a time it seemed as though an ar rest would be the result, but the matter being put up to the Dis trict Attorney the old law of self-protection was again enun- ciated with success.

Why Colds arc Dangerous

Because you have contracted ordNary colds and recovered from them without treatment of any kind, do not fox a moment imagine that colds are not dan gerous. Everyone knows that pneu- monia and chronic 'chtarrh have their origin in a common cold. Consumption is not caused by a cold but the colI prepares the system for the reception and cevelopment of the germs that would not otherwise have found lodg- ment. It is the same with all infecti- ous diseases. Diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles and whooping cough are much more likely to be contracted when the child has cold. You will see from this that more real danger turks in a cold than in any other of the common ailments. The easiest and quickest way to cure a cold is to take Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. The many re- markable cures effected by this prepa- ration have made it staple article of trade over a large part of the world. For sale by Fl Centro Drug Store.
