ERRONEOUS SURVEY
Discrepancy of ThCee Niles Troubles
 Claimants in East Townships

Desert land claimants in the eX treme eastern part of the Imperial Valley find themselves in an embarras- ing predicament as the result of the resurvey The land in question is all out of reach Of the present canal system.
 All land lying east of the center of Range 16 east, has been for several years withdrawn from entry under the Laguna Dam project of the Reclama- ton Service, and is subject only to homestead entry under the provisions of that act Numerous desert land entries have been made on the west side of the center of range IS. ac- cording to prevailing surveys On the issuance of the plats of the resurvey it is found that the center of range 16 has been moved west about three miles and that the desert land claim ants find themselves plated on the cast half of the range, and therefore under the ban Of the Reclamation Service.
 Attorney Dunlap, Of Los Angeles, is representing a number Of the entry men. He took the matter of adjust ment up with the officials of the Rec lamation Service, but they informed him that the land had been officially withdrawn and that entries made thereon could have no recognition.
 Failing here Mir Dunlap presented the case to the officials of the U S Land Office at Los Angeles, and they /agreed to support action for relief
 The case will now be taken to the Secretary of the Interior for adiudi cation-Brawley News.

"One Touch of Nature Makes the
 Whole World Kin"

When a rooster finds a big fat worm he calls all the hens in the farm yard to come and share it. A similar trait of human nature is to be observed when man discovers something exceptionally good-he wants all his friends and neighbors to share the benefits of his discovery. This is the touch of nature that makes the whole world kin. This explains why people who have been cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy write letters to the manufacturers for pub lication, that others similarly ailing may also use it and obtain relief Be- hind every one of these letters is a warm hearted wish of the writer to be of use to someone else. This rem edy is for sale by Dunaway & Lowe. Druggists.

v Aiexicali is making progress toward Nhe goal of her citizens ambition, and that is the position of first importance among the towns of Baia California. Mexicali hopes to be the capital of the district, and to it herself for that ex- alted honor she has acquired a bull Ting or Plaza de Toros."
 On the fifth of May-"Cinco de Mayo"-the first bull fight will be pulled of under the management of Rubio, the Spanish bull fighter who learned his business in old Spain, managed the Plaza de Toros in the City of Mexico and more recently con - ducted similar exhibitions at Tia Jua a7 ma. Rubio has obtained twelve wild bulls from the ranch of Gen Terrazos in Chihuahua, and they are said to be of fighting breed. Because Of the ob- jections of Americans to the revoltine slaughter of blind folded horses, no horses or picadors will be in the ring.
 The matador, or chief bull fighter, who kills the bull with a sword, is Francisco Alonzo PaQuiro, of Madrid. He will be assisted bv five agile ban derilleros."

NEW METHODS IN
SHIPPING FRUIT
GOVERNMENT EXPERT URGES
THAT 1T BE PRE-COOLED
PomoloSist from the Department of
Agriculture Urges That More Care
BE Used in Handlins-Says the
Northwest VIII Get Experiment
Station When the Money Is Voted.

Salem. Ore.-Although the Pacific
coast states are already far ahead of
the rest of the country in the science
of packing and shipping deciduous
and citrus fruits, the possibilities for
improvement of the market area is
almost unlimited. This is the belief
of G. Harold Powell, pomologist in
charge of fruit transportation and
storage Investigations, United States
department Of agriculture, in outlir-
ing the result of his investigations in
the northwest and reviewing the cont
ditions of the green fruit Industry
generally.
The department of agriculture be-
gan about five years ago a series of
experiments to determine the causes
of the early decay of green fruit
shipped to distant markets. AS a re-
suit. through handling of fruit to
avoid the slightest bruising and The
adoption of the method of preceding
the fruit before packing it IN refrig-
Grating cars for shipment, the grow
ers of California have been able to
save over $1,000,000 a year the past
four years in the marketing of their
citrus and deciduous fruits. In time
when funds given by congress make
it possible to place more experts in
the field, this work will be extended
to the northwest Mr.. Powell said:
"The green fruits of the northwest
are far superior to those Of other
parts of the country in several re-
spects 1t is more solid with re-
markable carrying and unusually
good keeping qualities. if properly
handled. The first thing to be done
to insure perfect soundness. is to ev-
ercise diligent care in handling while
picking and packing, selecting only
the most perfect Of the fruit without
the slightest bruise, and the second
very important thing to do is to cool
the fruit as soon as possible after
picking and keep the temperature
even until safely loaded in the re-
frigerated car. Scientifically cen
Quoted experiments the past five years |
have demonstrated that when fruit is |
placed in the car at about the tenn
perature of sixty degrees Fahrenheit, |
the process of refrigeration is slow,
and by the time that temperature
Of forty-five or fifty degrees is attain
ed the fruit will have passed through
the ripening process and have begun
to decay.
Before being loaded and as soon
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-07-29

as possible after picking, the fruit
should be cooled to at least forty de-
grees, and when placed in the cold
car at about the same temperature
the ripening process will be retarded
and the fruit he preserved much
longer. The average grower would
be very much surprised when he
thought he had exercised great care
in the handling of is fruit if he were
to realize the percentage of injured
fruit in the packages.
Rapid improvement has been
made the past few years in the trans
portation of both citrus and decidu-
Gus fruits. The transcontinental rail-
road companies are cooperating
heartily in the work of the depart
ment, and are establishing pre-cool-
ing plants in California, partly be-
cause it lends encouragement to the
development of the industry and part
ly because it has been demonstrated
that more fruit can be loaded into a
car after it has been cooled than be-
fore, because less space is required
for ventilation"
Mr., Powell says great interest has
been aroused in the northwest and
the conditions could be much i'm
proved by cooperation between the
shipping interests and the department
of the interior. All sections are anx-
ious to have the experimental work
extended and are certain of co-opera-
tion from the department which, as
soon as sufficient funds are available.
will doubtless establish a group of
stations in the northwest for expert
mental work. The Salem Fruit union !
Is preparing to take the matter up
with the department Of |
agriculture. both through represen-
-atives in congress and its own in
iluence.
