INDIAN LANDS
SOON TO OPEN
YUMA RESERVATION FILING
WILL BE IN FEBRUARY
Karnak Is Name of ToWnsite Now
Being Settled in Heart Of Res
ervation on Parcel of
Decided Land
BY EVERETT p. TEASDALE

The Yuma Indian reservation, com
| prising 1000 acres Of rich Colorado
/ river delta soil. divided into forty
acre farm units, irrigated by canal;
/ from the reclamation service Leguns
! dam Cfirst completed unit of the Yuma
! projecD, will be opened for filing by
| settlers early in 1910, probably in Feb
| ruary.
Karnak. on the Yuma reservation
is a townsite plated on decided lands
patented before the formation of the
reservation. the lands of which entire
ly surround 1t. Owing to this priority
of location it Will be an established
town before the reservation opens,
with stores and other business ac-
commOdatiOns and transportation fa-
cilities. These facts alone make it
the inevitable center Of the agricul-
tural development that will immedi-
ately follow the settling of the reser-
walton. lands. 1t has in addition num-
erous other advantages that will result
in making it a prosperous and rapidly
growing town.
Karnak is on the main line of the
Southern Pacific railroad, $50 miles
from Los Angeles (now building) $50
miles from the seaport of San Diego.
1t is on the bank of the, navigable
Colorado river, 100 miles from the Gulf
of California, giving direct short-route
ocean transportation. 1t is the near
est accessible trading and transpor-
tation point for nearby producing gold
mines.
Comprises 12o Acres
The townsite of Karnak comprises
120 acres, subdiVided into lots running
from 25X140 to 110x14O feet in size.

cember 1. Prices range from $40 up.
according to location from centra,
streets. The four principal corners
will be sold at auction. Plats are now
being prepared and will be forwarded
to landseekers when off the press.
There have been set aside and dedi-
Gated to public use two half blocks for
school purposes and one block for
public park. Shade trees will be
planted along the various streets and
avenues. The townsite is level and all
in grass. The soil is rich and deep,
and every lot in the townsite can be
used for home gardening. Water for
domestic purposes can be had on every
lot at a depth of about twenty-five
feet, and the town being located on
the river front makes it possible to
construct a water works system at a
minimum cost.
The facts outlined should demon
strate the logical advantage and pos
sibilities of the growth of karnak,
and that investment in it's realty at
ground floor figures will yield quick
and substantial profit.
At least $4,000 or 10000 landseekers
from all parts of the country will at
tend the drawing of the Yuma reserY-
alton lands. This rush will undoubt-
edly produce considerable speculation
and there will be large investment in
land and town property. Those who
buy lots in Karnak before this activity
begins will reap the benefits.

oil PROSPECTS
BOOM LOMITA
WATER WELL DRILL STRIKES
GAS
ExpIoiters Believe Recent Discoveries
Will Cause Unusual Activity in
Lonta and Contiguous
Country

With the prospects growing brighter
every day for the development of oil
at Lomita w. l. HollingsWurth d Co.
announce that business is growing in
proportion. While the exploiters Of
Lomita have known for ii long time
that the chances were good for strik
ing oil, they have said little about it.
When the first well was drilled for
water near the westerly line of Lomita
it was discovered that the water was so
full of gas that it could not be used
\ German device was employed to
separate the fluid and gas and the OBJ
stacle was removed The gas that is
brought to the surface when the water
pump is working is now used as fuel
for the pumping plant
Within half a mile of this pumping
plant Jotham BKby, q millionaire of
Long Beach, who owns the mammoth
ranch adjoining Lomita, is drilling for
oil. \ year ago he sunk a well and
struck oil He was preparing to take
care of the oil when the casing in thy
well became defective and finally use
less. 1t was necessary then to do the
same work over again. Jotham Bixby
is not the sort of man who spends
his money for nothing. If he did not
feel absolutely certain that there was
oil in paying quantities on his ranch
it is a safe bet that he wOu5d not be
sinking wells. Up to date his drillers,
who are working night and day, are
down to a point where a generous flow
is expected.
Would Grow Rich over Night
What it will mean to LIomita if a
good flow of oil is discoered is OBJ
vious. Prices would advance at least
S415 on the acre over night. The gen
eral public knows the situation, and
that is the reason the Loplita agents
anticipate big rush from now on.
Sales at Lomita for the past week
wer as follows:
Alex Galitzin, five acres for $225O.
w. r. Hislop, three acres for 1880
G. M. Wardrum, one acre for Si00.

SHOCKED AT THE LANGUAGE
USED BY THE MfssoURIAN.


in the circumstances the assault was

today dismissed the charge against
Senator William J. Stone Of Missouri
Of having attacked Lawrence c.

The crowd applauded until the magis-
trate raped sharply for order.
The case grew out of an incident Of
the trip yesterday Of Senator Stone
from Philadelphia TO Washington. The
trip was interrupted here last night
when a policeman entered the senator

ton i'm the patrol wagon, accompanied
by Brown.

Senator Stone and his counsel took
their places i'm the ordinary prisoners
dock when the case was called.
An attorney for the Pennsylvania
railroad and the Pullman company re-
quested that the case be dismissed. But
Brown insisted upon the trial.
Brown testified that Senator Stone
used abusive language to him in con-
nectiOn with the order, saying:
II was shocked at what he said, deed
1 was. Then he struck me right in my
mouth"

liable to arrest for any breach of the
peace The court then asked Senator
Stone to give his version. The senator
said he had given Brown an order for
some lunch and also for a drink.

requested and he sent Brown back 10

Up to this point Thaw had acquitted

graduation.

asked Mr. Jerome.
On objection of Thaw'S counsel the
question was not answered, and a legal
tilt took place between counsel regard
ing Mr.. Jerome's right TO introduce a
letter written by Thaw to his wife.
Mr.. Morschauser, for Thaw, insisted
that letters between a husband and wife
were sacred and confidential Justice
Mills postponed his ruling and the let
