YAQUI VALLEY LANDS
UNDER DEVELO PMENT

Word comes from the Yaqui valley
Sonora, Mexico, of the unprecedented
development of those lands. The canal
system is being rushed to completion,
contractors working forces day and
night to get as many acres as possible
under water service in time to plant
for the early markets of next spring.
Two townsites, Yaqui and Delta, have
been located near the center of the
valley and others will be established
as the irrigation system is extended
This development is in the hands of
the Richardson Construction company
of Los Angeles, which owns virtually
all of the irrigable lands In that great
seacoast valley. The company has
modelled its work much after that of
the large United States federal reclaim
alton projects. 1t is believed that the
American farmers who are buying the
lands will live in these towns and ride
in trains or drive to their nearby
ranches
Virtually all of the lands for miles
about the town Of Yaqui have been
purchased by Americans, and many
new ranches will be under cultivation
by spring. The farms about Delta also
are selling rapidly.
Contractors who operate steam plows
are already on the ground and finding
employment in preparing and seeding
these lands for the first settlers.
Rapid Growth to Come
1t is quite probable that the next
year will witness a rapid growth IF
these towns, on par with the develop
ment of those in the irrigated zones
of the United States, where cities of
several thousand population are not
unusual before the lands had been
opened for settlement one year; such Il
town existing where year before only
sage brush and cactus grew.
Every few days large parties of land
buyers reach the Yaqui valley. These
men come from Canada and all parts
of the United States. A party of Call
fornians is now on the ground and an
other group from the same state is
on it's way there.
During the last two weeks approx
mately 1000 acres have been purchased
by Americans, among whom are the
following:
Walter w. Allen, so acres; c. P. Far
field, 100 acres; David Slater, 80 acres;

There is a manifest destiny in store

ating unexampled opportunities in real

rious progress in the past, exceeding
in scope and results all known prece-

famous and given to it an enticing
glamour that resists diagnosis and Is
drawing thousands yearly within our
gates. For proof: Los Angeles had
10000 people in 1883, and today, but
twenty years later, one-third of a mil
lion is her measure.
But let us dilate on some of the UNI

of the country was called, but the
idea of having the party return to
Englandvia. Canada was enthusiast

and accompanied by a fiotilla of war

ice CREAM WAGER
Hearst News Service.

Hobart, Okla. July 21-One man is
dead and another dying as the result
of a wager testing their appetite and
capacity for ice cream. Fred Wake
Held and Thomas Mcmillan, two we'll
TODD farmers, living near Hobart, met
here on the Fourth of July at a cele-
bration. They made a wager of $40
on who could stow away the most ice
cream.
A stand on the picnic ground was
the scene of operations, and almost as
fast as the vender could dish it out
they consumed it. Wakefield ate al
most gallon before he quit, winning
the bet.
Mcmillan was but few saucers be-
hind him when the contest ended.
Both were taken i'll in few hours,
Wakefield died in 10 days. Mcmillan
is not expected to live through tonight.

Perhaps the most notable of royal
