ABLE ADDRESS OF
WILL H. TUNNARD
Delivered Before Winn Parish
Fruit and Truck Growers
Association at Dodson.

Somewhere stored IN the cham
bers of memory is defined the
height of impudence.-to borrow
an umbrella from an Obliging
friend, during heavy rain storm
and neglected to return it to him.
Presumably a more glaring In
stance of this character would be
for q theoretical farmer to attempt
to instruct a thoroughly expert
enced and practical tiIler of the
soil how to raise his products.
However, my knowledge is not
altogether theoretical or book
learned nor yet gained by the
mere study of farming, as / pos
sess some practical experience in
that pursuit that dates back a
period of 60 years. My advent
into Winn a year ago was fresh
from seven years experience on
a valley plantation engaged in
raising truck on a limited scale
and studying the nature and
habits of the boil weevil.
A dear lover of nature, a warm
admirer of those who handle the
hoe and the pillow, i esteem 1t a
special honor and privilege to
have been invited to actively par
tcipate in the exercises of this
important occasion in view of the
contingencies that have arisen of
late, SO vitality affecting the suc-
cess and independence of the
agricultural classes, this depart
ure into new channels of cultiva-
ton. bids fair to relieve them of
the incubus of debt and force the
production of the necessities of
life for the home consumption.
Thus and thus only can the farmer
hope to reap the benefits of his
labor and receive the legitimate
profits arising from the sale of his
products.
Gambling in the futures of corn,
cotton, wheat, meat and other
necessary products have forced
the farmers into Cooperative
Associations for self-protection
and actual existence, to save
themselves from this Unsuitable
greed of the accumulators of
colossal fortunes, and the rapacity
of corporations, combines and
trusts.
Il would seem today, as if the
toilers Of the land, the actual
prodncers Of wealth, were being
formed to achieve second lnde-
pendeuce and they have chosen
the right road to its accomplish
meat. Let them shake of the
incubus of debt incurred by the
credit system. Let them acquire

SIX GAMBLERS FINED
TWENTY DISCHARGED

Mary, alias Felieitas, alias Monkey,
alias few other names, a Porto Rican
| damsel, is spending the next few days
as a guest of High Henry, on the Reef,
gong down yesterday afternoon, via
the patrol wagon route, in company of
c. Christensen. These were the only
ones lined up before Judge Andrade
Yesterday who dallied around the lock-
up after the trials. They had spent
their money for the Drumming bowls
and had nothing to settle up the fines
with.
There were twenty-six gamblers on
exhibition in the court, six being con-
victed. The six unfortunate ones
were of crowd of thirteen gathered
in on Wednesday night at sup-chai
party in Kakaako. At their trial they
endeavored to repeat the trick. turned
week ago, accusing Detective Ali
of slipping evidence money among the
dominoes when he made the raid, there
being two dimes produced as the
stakes for which the gamesters were
playing.
After the arrest, when searched at
the police station. one of the Chinese
was found to have in a money bag
carried on his belt large sum of
GOLD, amounting to about $50 There
was nothing to connect this with the
pame. although there is a suspicion
that this was the gambling bank. The
Chinese now have grown wise to the
law and in their games use nothing
hut chips, redeemable at the bank.
Thus there is never any money in
sight and the prosecution is stumped
to show that something of value is
being lost or won in the game, with
out which proof no conviction can be
secured. At the trial yesterday Will
lie Crawford was on the stand as an
expert on gambling.
Another batch of gamesters, also
thirteen in number. were discharged.
There was no money in sight in their
sup-chai game.
Ahuna, who is charged with having
stolen a pair of shoes from the S. s.
Columbian, was up for trial, his case
going over until today.

A CASE OF IDENTITY.

"It's a great help to be able to
size up the men you come in contact
with, ~ said business man to Ills
son, "but it's more important still
that YOU should first know yourself.
E'For instance. A noisy bunch
walked out of the Elks club late one
night and up Gale Real. They
stopped in front of an imposing resi-
dence. After considerable discussion
one of them advanced and pounded
on the door. A woman stuck her head
out of second story window and de-
manded none too sweetly: what do
you want''
- FIsh this the residence of Mr.
Smith, inquired the man on the steps,
with an elaborate bow
/" 1t is. What do you want?'
" Dear Misshus Smith! Good Mis-
shus Smithhi VIII you-hic-come
down an pick out Mr.. Shmithh. The
rest of us want to 90 home!' Ma
Mia Gossip.

WONDERFUL STRIDES.
Barren Lands Changed in Few Years
 to Richest Farms On Earth.
[Redlands Facts. l

The trip was one of great pleasure to all who were permitted to enjoy it. The run into the great valley, which has in a few brief years been changed from a barren desert to one of the most productive farming sections on the face of the earth was fast one

several newspaper representatives in the party, were passed, as expressing in a small way the pleasure, gratiflca- tion and profit of the guests on this most pleasant trip.
 Astounded at Results.
 Some sixty excursionists, principally from Los Angeles and Redlands, have for the past two days been privileged to enjoy very novel experience, con sisting of a journey into the heart of the great Imperial Valley, with side trips to Holtville and Calexico to- gether with entertainment of varied nature furnished by the good people of this valley. We have been fur nished with a fine train in which to make our temporary abiding place, through the generosity of the South ern Pacific Company and Mir. w. K. Holt; we were afforded an opportunity to be present at the formal opening of the Holt Opera House, and to there enjoy an entertainment which we join with the builder of the house in hop ing will be but the first of many brightening and benefiting amuse- ments. We have been permitted to look upon the magnificent material progress of this section, as shown in it's industrial enterprises-a railroad and equipment, machine shops, ice plant, lighting and power plants We have been shown farms that rival in productiveness the famed ones of the Valley of the Nile. In short, we have been astounded at the wonderful progress we have seen on every hand

Amiable Comment.

The event was in large part signed to add to the glory of w. Holt, and in brief address by admirer the unquestioned fact was cited that it was he who made perial Valley, kwho carved out Grand Canyon Npf the Colorado, rected the waters of the mighty ri hither and who drew the plans specifications for the peculiar clin of this region.-Imperial Standard

RedIands Capital.

A fine train of Pullmans was fur. nished for the journey to the valley undertaken Thursday morning. Ar. irving at four o'clock in the afternoon the town of El Centro was inspected and much enthusiasm shown at the character of the business buildings of the city. Substantial brick ones, most of them are, the fire limits having been so placed as not to allow of the building of any structures that might endanger the safety of the town. There are a dozen or so of fine brick struc. tures-mostly erected by Redlands capital, by Redlands contractors, and Redlands mechanics-it might be men toned in passing.
 The opera house has a seating capa- city of 500 and is little gem.
 Evidences of Wealth.
 Calexico, with her glorious sur rounding country, the miles interven- ing between El Centro and that place being almost one solid farm, was wis ited. Probably the immense gorge that the water cut in the face of Mother Earth there attracted as much attention as anything from the merely curious, but the materialistic could not get their minds and eyes away from the great herds of cattle, the droves of hogs, the great fields of alfalfa and the other evidences of wealth that grows from the soil The section between El Centro and Calexi- co, and mainly tributary to the former, is a magnificent stretch of farm land. It has no appearance whatever of a desert. There has gone even that whiteness of the sand, as the waters have flooded the face of the earth.
 Back to Fl Centro and over to Holt vile, riding in one of their own coaches, rolling on their own rails, and pulled by one of their own en- zines, the excursionists went past more and more of the fertile farms. As a matter of fact, the farmer who invests in Holtville soil gets the choic- est in the valley-light and free from alkali; easily worked and productive.
 The Banquet.
 Back to El Centro went the party and in the evening there was one of the finest banquets served them, at the hotel, to which mortal man ever sat down. Twelve courses, served and prepared in way that would make any caterer in Southern CalifOr- mia feel proud, was the menu. Decora- tions were exquisite; every appoint ment was perfect. Nothing finer could have been served in Los Ange- les-or Redlands. The guest of honor at this function was General Manager E. E. Calvin of the Southern Pacific Co.,, who came in with his daughter in their private car to attend the ban quet.
 MT. Holt was toasted again and again, and outlined very briefly some things yet in store for the Holton Power people, which seemed to please them. It was a great success. Reso Iutions were passed at this time by the party expressing their gratitude and pleasure at the many kindnesses shown them by MT. Holt, the Southern Pacific Company, and the people o the several towns.

HoItviIIe's Fine Farms.

Holtville probably has as many Red lands people living in and around 1t as any place in the valley, and per haps more. Many of the fine farms of this section are owned by present and former Redlands people, some hay ihr gone down there to wrest com petence from the soil. others being content to leave the actual work in the charge of others and to merely superintepd by an occasional visit. The fine character of the soil around Holtville was very evident, and the magnificent crops grown there, togeth- CT with the substantial character of the Improvements. were very impress sive.
