ANCIENT PUEBLO
 NOT PIPE DREAM
Ruins of Stone Dwellings In San Jacinto Mountains
 Definitely Located,

k. F. Bond, William E. HlnShaW, q member of the board of public works; l.. D. Mallory, w. J. Hinshaw, treas urer of the Long Beach Trading Com pany, and o. F. Thorne returned to Long Beach last week after several days camping near the ruins discov- cred in the San Jacinto mountains by Mir. Bond recently.
 The party took number of photo graphs showing the nature of the ruins, and Mir. Bond traced a map of them showing their extent and con- tour. Members of the party believe the dwellings were inhabited about the time the ocean covered the floor of what is now the Coachella Valley and Salton Sea.
 The ruins are approximately 150 miles from Los Angeles, in Riverside county They lie on the north slope of the San Jacinto mountains, border ing the Coachella Valley on the south ten and a half miles due south of
 lndio and about eight and a half miles due west of Mecca, formerly Walters, on the line of the Southern Pacific railroad to Yuma. It is eleven miles northeast of the nearest point of the Salton sea The ruins are on unsurveyed land in the Cleveland for est reserve, but if the lines were eX- tended would be at the interception of sections II, 12, 13 and fl, town ship south, range east, s. B. M. The ruins extend along the side of the mountain a distance of a mile and quarter They are imposed in ter races built along the mountain side, following the contour of the hill from sea level up distance of 440 feet above sea level and in places slightly below sea level.
 In the opinion of Mir, Bond, the dwellings were occupied by a tribe that followed the receding ocean,
 building nearer the water as it re- ceded. There are more than 500 rooms visible yet, although owing to their great age they are almost obliterated. These rooms were sunk in the rocky { terraces a distance of two and one half feet, and the walls were piled
 up a number of feet higher That they were roofed with hides or thatch is the opinion of the men who have seen them, as no traces of any roofing remains. One group of the rooms are
 better preserved. These have two openings leading into them; most M the others have but one.
 Thirty or forty of the rooms located on the fourth terrace Of the seven that are yet distinctly visible, are all con nected by a well-deflned passage way leading from one to the other along
 the front of the row. All the other
 rooms are separate and front merely on the general roads along the ter | races.
 1 Evidence that the ocean was still
 covering the valley when the resi-
 dents of the ruins lived there is
 shown by the fact that the trail from one gathering of the ruins to another does not cross the dry wash separating
 the two settlements but climbs the
 mountain side by a clrcuitous back
 trail and comes down on the other
 side. This trail would never be used
 under the present conditions A well-defined trail into the noun
 tains shows another collection of ru-
 ins in such bad state of decay that the outlines are barely visible

Reclamation Service Takes First Step Into Imperial
 Valley.
Northern and Eastern Townships Withdrawn From Entry Pending h. aupuration of Project to lrrieate Valley Through High Line Canal From Laguna Dam.

A Washington dispatch to the Los Angeles Times says:
 The Reclamation Service is making a survey to determine the feasibility of establishing an extension of the Yuma reclamation project in Imperial Valley.
 The Secretary of the Interior, on the 2nd inst. approved request of the Reclamation Service to withdraw tenn porarily about 350,000 acres of I'm perial Valley lands, in order that the question of irrigating them might be determined
 There has been much discussion throughout the county of the pro- posed government project and finally when many persons urged the govern ment to establish new project in the valley, it was decided to make sur vey. The first step necessary was to withdraw from entry all lands that might be included in the new project These lands are supposed all to be above the present Imperial canal sys- tenn. It has been impossible as yet to tell where the new canal will be located, or where the irrigation work will be- That will depend on the top ographical survey now being made Water for this project would be fur EIiShed from Laguna.

Imperial Valley press., 1909-04-17

The land withdrawn is not all above existing canals. It takes in nearly the whole of Number Five's main canal and large part of District Seven, and if the resurvey is followed, the withdrawal includes most of the re- claimed land east of Holtville and all north of the third standard parallel It looks like declaration of war by the Reclamation Service upon the c. D. Co, and the Southern Pacifc's in terest in the irrigation system.

THOUSANDS OF ACRES OF IMPERIAL COTTON
  Planting Will Begin Soon and Extend Through Month
 of May,
Southern Planter Positive That This is Best Soil and Climate tn United States for Cotton Growth--Machin- cry Ordered by American Nile Com pany.

Orders for 15,000 pounds of cotton seed have been booked by the Amer ican Nile Cotton Company at it's of flee in El Centro, and as soon as the planters finish the work of preparing land, the seed will be taken out and planted. Warm weather is somewhat laggard in it's arrival this year, and it will be safe to plant up to the first of June, in the opinion of cotton ex- perts.
 From all the data now accessible, it is safe to estimate about 1000 acres as the cotton acreage in the center of the valley this year. The seed al- ready spoken for will plant half that area. By the middle of May it will be possible to make a fairly con- plete statement of the number of acres devoted to Imperial Valleys first venture in cotton growing on a. commercial scale.
 B. F. Mcdonald, who was cotton planter in Louisiana and Texas for many years, has 320 acres of land in district twelve and proposes to put as possible He says he will plant in May and June.
 Mir. Mcdonald has observed the eX- periments conducted in this region for some years and says there is no question at all that cotton makes bet ter growth here than in any other part of the United States. He sees no reason why anyone should hesi- tate to plant cotton in Imperial Val ley. The seasons of growth and pick ing are more favorable here than else where, water is absolutely under con trol of the grower, and there can be no failure of crop properly culti- vated The land is richer than in the old cotton states, and it will be easy to produce at least two bales to the acre.
 MT: Mcdonald says cotton does not need much stirring of the soil during growth of the plant. The important thing is to avoid forcing the growth and to keep it regular. It is import ant not to let the regular growth stop when the plant begins to fruit. The supplied with enough water, but not over watered.
 If any farmers in his neighborhood wish for advice in the management of their cotton fields, MT Mcdonald will gladly put his experience and knowl- edge at their service. He is confident that cotton growing will do more than anything else to establish standard value of land and enhance the value of property and products generally.
 Comparison of samples of fibre talk en from a lot of Mebane cotton grown in Texas with samples from Ira Aten's field near Fl Centro is distinctly fav- orable to the local product. The Fl Centro fibre is pure white, firm in texture, clean and long. The Texas cotton is tinged slightly with yellow by dew and emulation from the shell of the boil, and the fibre is shorter and more fuzzy" The El Centro fibre grades much higher than the Texas product.

Tho Pest That Kills Plums

The quickest ana most economical
method OF lighting the curcuio where
there are only few trees is TO place

morning as soon AZ the insects appear
and jar the trunks. When they fall

twice Il week for two or three weeks,
when most. if not all of them. can be
caught before the fruit is injured The
plum, the damSon and the apricot are
the fruits most injured. SlugS that at
tack the pear and other trees may be
killed by duStinE the leaves when

fruit is One-third grown and when half
grow. The bordeaux and paris green

Keeping Surplus Eggs.

When eggs are only required to be
preserved for tv or three months
they keep very well packed In dry
salt or bran. The meat OF the egg
may shrink and rattle within the shell
when shaken, but its cdibility is not
impaired. Coating the egg with vase
line or butter will also keep it fer 4
short time. or any application which
effectively seals the pores Of the shell
and excludes air Will prolong the
freshness OF eggs. If the egg is even
