MAY BUILD APARTMENT HOUSE

H. J. Hagerman, who recently pur- chased lot on the south side of Olive street, 120 feet east of Sixth street, is preparing plans for the erection of two-story building thereon. The building may be of three wings, sur rounding the three sides of a court opening to the east. Two story porches will face this court, and all rooms will have direct entrance on the porches. The building may be di- vided into three or four-room suites for light housekeeping. It is probable that the building will be pushed to completion during the summer, so as to be in readiness for the great rush of people certain to visit the valley next fall.

MELON MARKETS
PROPOSED METHOD OF DIsPos-
 ING OF RIPE FRUIT.
Small Crates Might be Sent to Coast Cities and Sold by Department stores-Better Than Throwing Tons Away, Thinks BrswIey Editor.

A recent visit to Los Angeles and inspection of the retail market for cantaloupes here, suggests to the Brawley News the need for some ac- ceptable method of packing that fruit for nearby markets, so that the poor CT thousands of the city population may invest in and consume what now goes to waste, either on the ground where raised, or in the stalls of ex. acting middlemen.
 When, very recently, says the News, the Fresno raisin market was glutted and bankruptcy stared growers in the face, some purposeful man designed a neat carton to contain one-half pound of raisins and took it to the managers of the great department stores, who saw the chance for a new channel of trade with the poorer rais- ins, and these houses literally gave away tons of raisins to the small pur- chasers of other wares In this way, thousands of people were led to like and use raisins, and the result to the growers was a ready movement of the standard crop that year, and a grow ing demand since, that insures against loss.
 In the cantaloupe market the poorer people can get the fruit only from the retailer, and at prohibitive prices, for the retailer must protect himself against the greedy middleman, and hundreds of crates of fruit rot, being held for price, that could be sold in smaller lotsand at lower prices by the great department stores, if the fruit were put up in more acceptable form
 Among the many suggestions to meet this need was that of small crates, or boxes, or baskets, each hold ing the number of cantaloupes for which a flat rate of, say p cents could be charged, and placing thous- ands of these in the great department stores where they would be an incen- tive to trade for the owner, and be within the reach of the poorest of the people, creating demand and enlarg- ing consumption.
 Ripe fruit, not fit for the eastern market, could be so packed, and mar keted at special price, and would open an avenue of gain now unknown, and serve to create wider demand.

MAN WHO PLANNED TUNNELS
Inspiration for Great Things Drawn
from Omaha First Rail-
road Bridge.

In 1871 an Individual who was neither a
citizen of New York nor connected with the
business of New York; who was not even
an engineer, although he had been con-
cerned in railroad construction, conceived
the idea of making a tunnel under the
river.
He had come from the Pacific coast via
Omaha. and had seen there the building
of piers for a great railroad bIidge over
the Missouri. This was done by setting
up iron cylinders at points suitable for
piers. In order to sink these 20 bedrock
they were so made that compressed air
could be pumped into them, and workmen
and materials could be taken into them
through so-callsd air locks at the top. The
water having been driven out at the bot
tom by air pressure, the men were able to
remove earth. and drop the cylinders by
degHess until the rock was reached. The
structure was then filled with concrete
masonry, and sure foundations provided
for the superstructure.
Seeing this work, this man Of engineering
turn and enterprise. of foresight and cour-
age, conceived the idea that the iron CYL
inders, fitted with air locks, could be
placed horizontally, starting out below
water level from a shaft provided for the
purpose; that the earth could be excGvated
In front, the compressed air providing a
safe place for the workmen; that success
sive rings OF iron could be added TO the
cylinder, and thus a tunnel might be con-
structed from shore to shore of any river
or arm of the sea.
Having reached his conception he cast
about for a place Of Importance to begin
work, and naturally decided that the best
location would be under the Hudson at
New York. He did not live to see his
great project completed; but II may be
doubted whether the actual would have
added to the gertrude OF his mind, says
George f. Seward, who wrote about the
man in a report on rapid transit in New
York, published by the Chamber of Com
MERGE in 1905. He was one of those men
whose faith in their ideas, Wild though
they may seem to others, is absolute.
So. while the work of sinking the piers
for the Brooklyn bridge was under way,
and no step had yet been taken to string
cables across the East river, he set to
work to solve the problem Of transit to
New Jersey on a different and more ven
turesome line. declaring to his friends that
tunnels. not bridges, were practical, and
that in the long run the world would so
decide.
And so convinced was he OF the merit
OF his purposed enterprise that he would not
seek state or municipal aid, or the aid Of
the great railroads centering in Jersey
City, but would do it all himself. out Of his
own means and the means OF friends. who
might have faith in the enormous values
he proposed to create.
II is almost unnecessary to say that he
died in poverty, He was blind in his latter
days. yet his courage never failed. To the
end, he believed that he had pointed the
way, shown others how = great WORE should
be done. and that he would be called q
great benefactor long after his critics we're
forgotten. The originality Of Mr.. Hsskin .
plan was not more conspicuous than its

LAND GRABBING FROM INDIANS
Conditions I'm Oklahoma Arouse the
Energies of the Gov
eminent.

The attorney generals office In Washing
ton is lending its energies to protect the
rights of Indians menaced by land grab
bcrs in Oklahoma.
Suits which will run into the thousands
are about to be instituted for the pro &C.
ton of Indians against land companies and
individuals that have sought to take their
lands for a paltry valuation. II is con-
templated that there shall be six United
States judges holding court in one district
Of the new state in a short time when
the trial of the suits is begun. Special at
torneys have been sent to prepare for the
trial and Assistant Secretary Jesse f.
Wilson of the Department of the Interior
and other officers are now on the ground
seeking to prevent the Of a
gigantic fraud which has been perpetrated
upon the Indians.
When the original land grants were made
to the Indians restrictions were made so
that the grantees would not he able to
make disposition of the land without the
consent OF the secretary OF the interior
until the expiration OF a given number of
years. Some Of the restrictions having eX-
pired, congress at the last session passed.
an act removing the restriction from the
lands owned by all but the full-blood In
dams. This act, 1t is estimated, affects
S1gO.OOO 900 worth Of property. 1t is 10 60
into effect sixty days after its approval
which was on May q.
Investigation disclosed a situation which
has turned the activities OF two der art
ments of the government into the state Of
Oklahoma. Indians holding from 1O to 800
acres OF and each have sold 1t for a few
dollars OF ready money to persons not
very particular about the clearness Of the
| tgtIa 1~abEng ,1vaptopa ~ tbfz lana roy,-
panies and individuals have purchased
often for sos very valuable tracts and
taken deeds while the land was, stiH re-
stricted as to sale.
Quite a wonderful degree of traffic grew
up under a mistaken impression as to VII n
the restriction would be removed and the
Indian owners be free to deed Il away.
The Department Of the Interior finds the
first land company on the scene would pay
the Indian owner s25 and take a deed OF
his land. Then another would tell him
the deed was invalid and pay him another
sum for a second deed, until some of the
land was decided three times to as many
different companies.
Now that congress has removed the re-
strictions this condition makes It necessary
for the Department Of Justice to institute
suits for the recovery OF the lands thus
deeded away IN oTuer that tne owner may
be able to make disposition Of It at a fair
valuation and to protect him from dishon-
est purchasers. 1t IS desired to accom-
plish the bringing of these suits PRIOR to
the time when the act for the removal o.
the restriction goes into effect.
Another question to be settled Is whether
the lands sold, II returned to the Indians,
are subject to the repayment Of the sums
invested by the land companies-New York

RIGHT OF PRIVACY IN PHOTOS
Printing Pictures OF individuals
without Permission Penal
iEed by Courts.

The 5000 verdict which a New York jury
gave to Mrs. Sass Riddle against Bernard
MacFadden shows the danger in interfering
with the right Of privacy. M~acFadden,
without permission, had published Mrs.
Riddles photograph in a physical-culture
magazine in company with many pictures
Of sparsely clad individuals. Recently a
verdict for 5000 was rendered before Judge
Lacombe in the United States circuit court
against a patent medicine company. Miss
Wynne's photograph had appeared over a
c-ommendatory letter purporting to be writ
ten by her.
In 1895 the New York court OF appeals re-
fused TO enJoln the Woman's Memorial fund
from making a statute Of the late Mrs.
Mary NJ. Hamilton Schuyler for exhibition.
Seven years later in the Robertson case Il
was settled that there was no redress when
the right Of privacy Of a living person
was invaded, The justice at special term
decided in favor of Miss Robertson, so did
four members Of the appellate division. so
did three Judges OF the court Of appeals,
thus making eight Judges for and four
against, but as the minority happened to

peals, they won. Chief Judge Parker in the
prevailing opinion cited the pioneer case Of
Prince Albert against Strange. Here Queen
Victoria and tho prince had made seYera,
etchings. A workman employed to print
copies had kept back some OF them. which
he afterward offered for sale.
Other states, and particularly louisiana
Georgia and New jersey, frown upon tho
unauthorized use Of photographs In before
and after advertisements. The Robertson
case, however, gave rise to such unfavor-
able criticism that the question was settled
in 1903 by a New York statute which gives
a cause OF action, authorizes the Jury to
include punitive damages in its verdict and
Furnishes the guilty party with fine and

CRAY MEN MAKE SUGGESTION
Say Their Man Can win ~ Bryan
VIII Take second Place.

DENVER, July 4-Joslah Marvel and
Richard ]. Beamish, the campaign man
ayers for George Gray OF Delaware. today
mailed an open letter TO all delegates to
the convention urging the nomination Of
Judge Gray for president and William ].
Bryan for vice president. The letter. after
a few words Of preamble, continues as fol-
lows:
You have heard from Mr.. Bryan's closest
friends fOrceful arguments for a ticket
reading Bryan and Gray. Let us place be-
fore your mind a reversal Of that combina-
ton.
1t is argued by Mr.. Bryan's friends that
George Gray's candidacy for the vice presi-
denCy would bring to the party a large
proportion of the Independent and the here
tofore luke-warm democratic vote in doubt
full eastern states. To this assertion we
make the amendment that George Gray for
the presidency would mean the whole OF
that vote and would make certain a demo-
cratic victory in those states.
Gray and Bryan will Insure the electoral
votes of New York, New Jersey, Connecti-
cut, Delaware, West Virginia, Maryland,
Indiana and Oklahoma for the democracy,
and will bring into the party fold Illinois,
Nebraska, Colorado and other western
states. 1t is a combination that is abso-
lutely certain Of success.
This success will give to Mr.. Bryan an
opportunity to sit IN the councils and to
participate in the administrative functions
Of the national government. 1t will serve
as a test for him and his ideas and will
familiarize the people Of this nation with
his ability as an executive. 1t will make
him the undisputed head of the party four
years hence and will ensure his election
for president at that time. 1t will pre-
serve the party from the factionalism that
has rent in recent years and will make
1t the dominant force iE this country for
more than a generation.
We ask your cooperation In this move
ment not only for the good that will come
therefrom to our party and our country,
but also for the good that Will come from
it for Mr.. Bryan.
The Gray forces we're reinforced tonight
by the arrival of their home delegation
from Delaware. including l.. Irving Handy,
the ex-congressman, who will present the
name Of Judge Gray in nomination for the
presidency. The Delaware contingent were
unanimous in declaring that Judge Gray
would be urged for the presidency and
nothing else.
