COUNTY NOTES

Citizens of Imperial have organized a company to build an auditorium at cost of Si1,OOO.
 The Holtville brickyard is working its full capacity, and even with this is behind with its orders Brick from Holtville is being shipped to every town in the Imperial Valley.
 Water Company No. 1 has ordered poles and equipment for thirty-eight miles of telephone line. The existing telephone system in the valley is an affliction and an incentive to crime.
 The Holtville creamery has been leased by the Los Angeles Cream and Butter Company. At present the out put of the creamery is 400 pounds of butter per day; but 1t is the intention of the new management to increase this output to at least 1000 pounds a day.
 Under order of the Governor of Lower California, the stockholders of the California Development Company have been given control of the books of the Mexican corporation. Dr. lief fernan has been elected president and MT. Flores secretary. The annual meeting of the company will be held next Tuesday.
 County Clerk D. s. Elder was over at his ranch in Mo- recently, and found that of the 160 acres which he had seeded to alfalfa two years ago, before the irrigation water was shut off, not more than fifteen acres re- quired reseeding. Eucalyptus trees on this ranch which have gone through the same period without watering have made a good growth, some of them having attained a circumference of fifty inches.

 q was more than surprised with the results of my observations on the trip, and firmly believe that every foot of the land there IS worth on an average S2OO an acre, a-rhough the present selling price is from $40 to S1OO. I believe that within 10 years the Imperial Valley will be of greater value as a farming proposition to this country than the entire valley from San Bernardino to Los Angeles"

The build ing is to be one story in height and to contain sixteen rooms. It will have all the conveniences of an up-to-date hospital, including electric lights, solar heaters, etc., and will cost, when fur nished and equipped. about $60OO.

''LAVOLAS" DOING
WONDERFUL WORK
Really Remarkable Display
at Opera House.

No one in Americas makes a mis-
take who goes to the opera house
this week and sees the Lavo1as in
their wonderful work on the slack
wire 1t is safe to say that nothing
to equal their performance has been
seen in this city before From the
beginning to the end it is a series of
marvellous exhibitions that surprise
the audience and awaken enthusiast
tic applause.
The feats of the Lavolas would
be considered a drawing card n
the theatres of the great cities Their
engagement by the Hub Comedy Com
pany for week in Americas, at the
cheap prevailing prices here, is an
evidence of enterprise that should be
appreciated.
Anyone who fails to see the per-
Torrance given this week misses a
remarkable display. One feat alone
is worth the admission price, that
of Lavola himself holding a ladder
in position on the wire, balancing a
lighted lamp on his head, ascending
part way up the ladder and then, in
that position, using three Indian
clubs effectively. Without seeing this
one would undoubtedly deny that it
would be possible for any man I'M
aided to do it. 1t is a revelation of
skill in balancing that is probably
unequalled.

PRESIDENT CAUGHT

WASHINGTON, d. March %

parte is not the onSS member of the
administration who has been hit by
the financial depression. President
Roosevelt has felt the effect.
The President hasn't lost any mon
ey in bank failures, so far as can be
ascertained, and he isn't advertising
any farms for sale; he hasn't any
farms, except the one at Oyster
Bay. The Presidents money, what
there is of it, is invested almost en-
tirely in securities, largely railroad
securities. All of these have declin-
ed with the rest of the market. AS
they were not bought on margin, but
as investments, Mr.. Roosevelt has
not had to sacrifice any of them yet
But every blow of the Big Stick-if
that is the force that has been de-
pressing stocks-has driven the Pres
ident's holdings down a notch.
While there has not yet been any
acutal decrease in income, it is not
expected at the White House that in
the present state of the country s
business dividends can be kept up tC

One Dollar Bid for German Myth

Twenty-Five persons named Rupp
came from various parts of Pennsyl-
vania to attend the auctioning off of
the right and title to the Peterholtz
succession. The sale had been or
dered by Alfred 10y, of Reading, an
heir" who had devoted 16 years of
his life to the effort to induce the Ger
man Government to recognize the
American claim to the estate. But
there had been quarreling among the
heirs, following declaration by the
German authorities that there had
never been such an unsettled estate;
and that, even if there had been, it
would long ago have been merged
in the State property, under the laws,
both provincial and imperial. A char
acteristic scene was produced by the
making of formal protest against
the proposed sale by a lawyer rep
resenting some of the claimants. Logs
right to order the sale was denied,
1t proved, however, that all this was
needless, for when it came to the
making of bids there was only one,
and that was for the pitiful sum of
81, which the auctioneer, in grieved
accents, refused The disposition of
the estate, therefore, remains as
much in doubt as ever.

CLAIM TOFSTATE
GOT BID OF 81
Public Shy of Alleged For.
tunes in Old Word

PHILADELPHIA, PA, March 25.-
(SpeciaD EARLY this month a
sad instance of claim to a rich aris-
tOcratic estate going begging at an
auction was given in Philadelphia
The story of the claim has plentiful
spice of sentiment and romance. The
estate, which is in Alsace-Lorraine
belonged toward the close of the
eighteenth century to Count Johann
Heinrich Won Peterholtz and his wife
Noble Maria Urula Won Peterholtz
Countess Maria, is said to have fed
to Pennsylvania about 1850 with Geo
Rupp, servant of her father, whom
she married.
The estate was said to consist of a
small principality on both sides OF
the River Rhine, including the vii
lagos of Mittelweir, Millenheim, Reich
berg, Marienwerder and Schlessen
thousands of acres of vineyards and
one or two ancient castles.
Countess lIaria never went back
to the old country. According to the
archives of the Rupp family, Coun-
tess Maria lived very happily with
her plebeian spouse near Chapman
Station, in Northampton, now LeheigI
county. She bore him nine children
of whom seven survived. From these
seven are descended hundreds oil
Rupps scattered throughout Pennsyl-
vania and Maryland The value Of
the estate in Germany is estimated
by some of the heirs at $100,000,000
| including the castles, vineyards, vii.
lagos, etc., over which Count Peter.
