HOLT OPERA HOUSE.
ElIefords and the Osborne Children
 Give Entertaining Shows.

The Elleford company of players gave three evening performances and matinee in the Holt Opera House this week, furnishing entertainment that was on the whole very satisfac tory and up to the standard of popular dramatics.
 The company presented the "Ameri- can Girl" Hoyt's Texas Steer" and "The Princess of Patches" at the eve ming entertainments, and played to a well-filled house each n1gnt. It's work was better in comedy than in melo- drama, and was particularly good in the Hoyt play "The Princess of Patches" attributed to Mark Twain, is the sort of thing that would fill that humorist with grief if he should see the stage version. It is roaring, howl ing, reeking melodrama, in which the villains are awfully villainous and mouth and rant raucously. Most of the company played as well as the lines would permit, but the man who personated the saddle-colored malefac- tor was an afliction. The only miti- gation of his offence was that nobody could understand what he was talking about He was the "big noise" of the show, literally.
 But there are many people who like that sort of thing, and no doubt that is an excuse for it's existence. It Is hardly worth while to criticize the stuff.
 Nothing but praise can be given to the work of the two Osborne children, who are the real stars UH the company. Their cleverness is almost uncanny. In consideration of their delicious com edy and of the excellent work of most of the leading members of the com pany, particularly Matte Luce, Leila Fallom and Clarence Ferguson, even the libel on Mark Twain may be for given. The Ellefords entertained the public well, had good houses and will be sure of a good reception when they come again.

THE TAFT REPORT.
Copies of Document Available For Dis
 tribution at Press Office.

Senator Frank P. Flint, who pro- cured publication as Senate docu- ment of Irrigation Engineer c. B. Tait's exhaustive report on irrigation in Imperial Valley-which the Silur- ians of the Agricultural Department had buried because it alscredited and made ridiculous some or their pre- vious reports on the valley-has sent to the Imperial Valley Press num- Der of the pamphlets to meet the large demand for authentic official informa- ton about the soil, climate, water supply and development of this re- zion.
 The document consists of 56 pages of matter especially valuable to water users and instructive to anyone who contemplates making home on an Imperial Valley farm. Copies may be obtained at this office.

FLOOD DAMAGE CASES.

At the meeting of damage claim ants, held in El Centro last Saturday, 1t was decided to rescind the action taken two weeks before, and to make A. N. Jones of Silsbee trustee to bring the suits, with Messrs. Luce, Sloan and Luce, of San Diego, attorneys. MT. Jones is one of the first settlers in Imperial Valley, and at one time had considerable irrigation plant on New River. His water right was re cognized by the courts and in a suit with the California Development Co., he came off victor. The flood de- stroyed his entire property, so he is one of the largest damage claimants.
 Another meeting will be held at El Centro, Saturday, April 25, 1908

MELON TWELVE DAYS AHEAD.

Produce men these days are watch ing the growth of melon vines witff calculating eyes, and comparing close ly with conditions at the same period a year ago. Dodge Hale, general man. ager for the H.

SEEK BETTER TERMS.

A concerted movement is being made by land holders in the territory GOV cred by Water Company Mo- to se- cure from the California Development Company delivery of water to these lands. Recently the latter company offered to deliver water on the pay ment of $25 per acre, or which pay ment S5 should be cash, and the bal ance in four payments of $5 year. Many of the land owners feel that they are not able to meet this, and they have submitted counter propo- sition, but this has not yet received final consideration. Much new work has been done in District No. 9 this spring, and if water can be secured late crops will be planted.

Associations of Growers Debate Cues tions and Will Abide by Decision of New Central Organization Formed by cantsloupe Shippers of the Valley.

Representatives of the eight melon growers associations of Imperial Val ley met in El Centro a week ago to form a central organization for the purpose of handling problems of dir ect interest to the meSon producers of the valley. The meeting adopted a resolution which pledges each as- sociation to stand by the decision of the central body as to whether all white laborers or Japanese be em- ployed in the fields for melon picking.
 This central organization has adopt ed the name of the Imperial Valley Fruit and Vegetable Growers Ex- change, and George Cline is the chair man, s. M. Bixby secretary. The first meeting of this new-formed associa- ton took place at El Centro last Tues day. w. H. Hartshorn was elected general representative of the associa- ton, but withdrew on account of stress of other duties, and F. c. Grimes was placed in this position.
 All associations of the valley are to hold meetings at once to express their preference as to whether white or Jap help be employed, and H. B.. Pearson has been appointed to secure from the railroads the most favorable rates possible for the transportation of melon pickers to the valley from the larger towns of the coast.
 This afternoon at 2 o'clock another meeting of the central association will be held in El Centro, at the office of the Fancy Melon Growers Association.

BACK AFTER SEVENTEEN YEARS.
After Long Stay in Oklahoma W. R.
 Beavers Thinks Arkansas Best.

w. T. Beavers, the aged blind man who lives out few miles east of town, was iu with his wife Friday afternoon and while in the office of The Star renewing their subscription Mir. Beavers face brightened as he ssid% "I'm blind, but we can't get along without The Star and I've got a good news item for you. Every little while my wife reads in The Star where some of our people who went to Oklahoma are com ing back to Arkansas. Well, my boy is coming back, too. He left us 17 years ago and has been in Oklahoma ever since, but he's got tired and is coming back. We are ia this afternoon to meet his wife and the grandchildren, and he is coming with a carload of his household goods and stock"
 The old man was happy that his boy was coming home and enjoying to the fullest extent the fact that after long years away from Arkansas the son had de- cided 1t was yet the best place of all.
 Mrs. w. K. Beavers came in on No. } with the children as was expected, and her husband will be in with the car in day or two.

ARKANSAS HAS
 A PURE FOOD LAW
Became Effective January 1 but There Is No Appropriation or Salaried Officers to Look After Its
 Enforcement.

Little Rock, Jan. 3.-The peo- pie of Arkansas now have a pure food and drug law after many years effort, and it rests largely with the people to see that the law is enforced.
 The act provides that the state treasurer shall deliver to the secretary of mines, manufactures and agriculture, upon his request from time to time, samples of foods and drugs which are being manufactured in this state, or offered for sale, bat does not pro- vide any appropriation to enable the treasurer to secure these samples. State Treasurer Yates states that he sees no way iu which he eau secure these samples unless they are brought to him voluntarily. According to the members of the board, they will be compelled to rely largely upon the people of the state to bring any alleged infractions of the law to their attention. The desire of some dealers or manufacturers to compel others to conform to the provisions of the law will also be relied upon to secure evidence up on which to base prosecutions.
 Another serious trouble is that while the law makes 1t the duty of the State Board of Health to examine all foods and drugs pre- sented to it, yet its members draw no salary and there is no appro- priation to cover the expense of work.
 The law, if it can be properly enforced, is expected to have very beneficial effect in control ling the sale of certain class of gooGs. It is almost an exact copy of the national pure food law and its main effect will be to extend the operation of the national law to cove- all food and drugs manu. factured in Arkansas. It will have no effect upon such articles as are manufactured outside the state and shipped into the state for saIp

SHOP CAPACITY IS
 INCREASED IN MENA
Kansas City Southern Bringing Carloads of Machinery for Use in Repairing Engines That Formerly Were
 Sent Elsewhere.

Among the improvements be- ing made by the Kansas City Southern at this place is the en largement of the shops, and dur ing the past few weeks consider able new and latest improved machinery has been installed aud the facilities for doing all kinds of repair work have been greatly increased.
 During the past only a small force of lchiuists has been employed here, the shop facilities being small and only light re- pairs could be made, the heavy work on engines being made at the shops at Pittsburg and Shreveport. These conditions, however, have changed, owing to the fact that Meua is the central division point on the line and also on account of the expense and inconvenience of having to send all disabled locomotives to other shops.
 The officials saw the advisa- bility of increasing the facilities at this place and at the present time the shops here are being equipped with the best of ma chiuery preparatory to doing all kinds of repair work, equal to that of the shops at Pittsburg and Shreveport.
 F. F. Smith, foreman at the roundhouse, in nyersation with a Star representative yesterday, stated that during the past week several carloads of machinery, consisting of large turning lathe, drills, planers, etc, had been received, and were being in- stalled in the roundhouse and would soon be in running order. He also stated that other machin- cry would follow and that he was of the opinion that in the near future Mena would have one of the best equipped shops on the line of the Kansas City Southern.
 The shop boys have also re- ceived large new hose cart with full equipment of hose and they will organize a fire brigade for the protection of all railroad property In the yards.
 IL is reported that among other improvements tue officials are contemplating putting in an electric light plant for the pur- pose of lighting the yards, round- house and office buildings.

WOOD FOR PAPER COSTS MILLIONS
The Publisher Pays More for His Stock
 Than He Did Last Year.

Today there is a general complaint among publishers that printing paper is growing dearer. In the Middle West many local papers are raising their subscription price 50 per cent in order to pay for the paper.
 In the face of a threatened short age of timber, the amount of wood consumed each year for pulp has increased since 1899 2 million to 8 1-2 million cords. The year 1906 marked an increase of 93,000 cords in the imports of pulpwood, the highest average value per cord for all kinds, and consumption greater by 469, ,053 cords than that of any previous year.
 New York alone consumes each year over a million and quarter cords of wood in the manufacture of pulp, or more than twice as much as Maine, which ranks next.
 The total value of the wood con- sumed in 1906 was $26, 400, 900. The chief item determining the price of paper is the cost of pulp. An example of the increased price of paper is found in the case of a pub fisher of daily in the Middle West, who recently paid S1 200 for car load of paper. The same quantity and grade of paper cost year ago but $500.
 Circular l20 of the Forest Service contains discussion of the consump- tion of pulpwood in 1906, based on statistics gathered by the Bureau of

A BOX FACTORY
 LOCATED AT MENA
Company Organized by Home People and Has Already Secured Site and
 Machinery.
ASKED NO FAYORS OF CITY
Contracts Made for Fifty Carloads of Egg Cases and all Boxes that Can
 Make in Year.

Mena is to have new industry that will give an impetus to it's growth along a line heretofore almost wholly neglected.
 This will be primarily box factory, making cracker boxes, fruit and egg cases, etc, but will soon also manufacture wagon spokes, show cases and other hard wood products as fast as the demand grows and prepara- tions can be made.
 The company will be known as the Mena Box an Manufacturing Company, and it's members are James E. Schooley of Granniss, Lee Dusenbury of St. Louis, and K. Dusenbury, James l.. Hogan and w. J. Falls, all we'll known citizens of Mena.
 A site for the factory has been secured in the south part of the city. It comprises GA acres and lies between the railroad and the Huston Brick Works, and will have a railroad trackage of 1250 feet It already owns a g, 500 sawmill, planer and three heavy logging teams and wagons, and will have much more machinery within two weeks, including veneering machine and a resaw.
 It is expected that active oper- ations will be begun within thirty days.
 As further indication of the magnitude of the business it is proposed to do, it is said that the new company has already a con tract for fifty carloads of egg cases from Omaha and for all the cracker boxes, etc, that it can manufacture from the Loose Wiles Cracker and Candy Com pany of Kansas City. The Loose Wiles Company will also have made here large number of fine show cases.
 The new company has gone about its business in very quiet and unassuming manner, asking no favors of Mena or its people, either in cash bonus or site for factory, the course usually pur- sued in similar instances. The company is composed largely of local .men who investigate the market and found there was a demand for the goods it pro- posed to manufacture then pre- pared to supply 1t.
 The Star has known of this matter for several weeks but was requested to say nothing of it un- til all preliminary work had been done.

Would Restore Confidence.

I think that the conservative farm CTS and common people of the state are almost universally in favor of the proposition to guarantee bank deposits. All the people may be about the wisdom of this but l am inclined to believe on the whole that they are wise.

Wall Street and the moneyed inter- ests East which have been using the banking system of the country for the purpose of floating all kinds of fiction and disturbing the legitimate business interests in furtherance of their own speculative schemes, would doubtless be solidly arrayed against any action along this .iae by Congress.
