WANT A RELINQUlSHM MENT?

Yuma Sun:-The Sun has on the best of authority that a number of the homesteaders on the Indian reserva- tion are very anxious to sell or give away their relinquishment on their homesteads in the Indian reservation. The cause for which is not very far to see. A great many of the persons who secured allotments under the marvellous plan devised by Secretary Ballinger for the opening of this land had never seen a farm. They were druggists, calico merchants, black smiths, carpenters and citizens of Los Angeles, almost with an exception. When they came down to Ymua they expected to find their land flowing with milk and honey" They found it, however, covered with a dense growth of cottonwood and a costly job of leveling ahead of them. They were not used to the climate or the heat. Some of them consequently have had enough and are willing to let go and let some real farmer have a chance.
 These are undoubtedly among the greatest lands in the world. Yet it is pioneer work of the hardest kind to clear and level and build with the high temperatures and few conven- fences. Those who stick and develop their properties will have fortune, Those who quit will make room for a man who knows the soil and loves the work. At last it is survival of the fitest in farming as in everything else.

I have passed upon the Egyptian cot ton raised at Yuma, Arizona, last year and which was sold for thirty one cents. l feel much interested in the golden opportunity that the Imperial Valley offers for the raising of Egyp- tian cotton and other long staple cot tons.

LOVE LETTER
 LEADS TO AN AWFUL TRAGEDY
Especial from United Press.

NoPON1c~A
 Denver, July 25.-Because Frank F'erres, of this city, permitted an- other woman than his wife to write him an affectionate love letter he is dead today slain by his wife, and Mrs. Ferres is dead by her own hand. The double tragedy occurred after Mrs. Ferres had spent four hours reading and re-reading the letter she had found in her husbands pocket.
 Mrs. FerreS suspected her husband, the police ascertained yesterday and while he was out she seized the op- pOrtunity to go through his pockets She found a long letter signed Marie expressing her undying love for Ferres
 Mrs. Ferres waited until after her husband had gone to sleep and then placing a revolver against his temple, blew out his brains. Neighbors found her sitting on the bed, gazing into her dead husbands bloody face and still grasplng the revolver. She appeared in a daZe but before they aroused her she calmly told them what had hap pened and then fled. In the rear yard Mrs. FeIres blew out her own brains.
 Marie in her letter told Ferres that she had been married ten years and that she wished she were a g. separation. The letter continues:
 Yes dear, I will be careful. Oh Frank, how you do love me. If I was free woman I would return every bit of it but Frank you know I am far from free. And if anything you ever intend living with your wife again? You have all my sympathy in your troubles and may God make you good always"

THROUGH SMOKED GLASS BUSINESS MEN READ
 COL. HALLS RECORD
Say That He Dumped Utilities Bill in the Heat of the Fray in 19O9--And He Wants to be Comptroller, an Office
 in Which Big Computations are Much Interested

i. Colonel William Henry Hall of Will lington. in a letter to the State Busi- ness Mems Association which was re- gently published in most of the State papers, dismissed in very superior manner the inquiry of the association as to his position concerning the utili- ties bill. Says he:
 Your letter, in my opinion. has a rather coercive tenor" Continuing among other things. ne says: ''I am personally acquainted with many mem bers of your association in different parts of the State, and they know what I did as a member of the House last winter
 This is so. - They certainly do know what Colonel Hall did last winter. He sat tight and said nothing until those interested in an efficient bill, and who stood on the firing line. rescued the bill and brought it into the spotlight. Then when he saw they were likely to wink he jumped into the fray in a spectacular manner. with some of his Holland county supporters back of him.
 The friends of the bill were at once warned against Hall. They were eau tioned that he would probably throw them when the time came.
 The history of the close combat is we'll known. The friends of the bill won at first but when the second and crucial fight came, and votes were needed, Hall voted against the enact ment of an efficient biIl He not only Topped to the railroad side of the con- test. but he took enough Holland coun-

 KILLED IN BUGGY
Special from United Press.j

Greeley, Colo. July 25-Fee1sng runs high today in this section of Colorado as the result of the murder yesterday of Jerome McGahan. known as '@Wild Horse Jerry. a wealthy ranch owner. and Edna Cobb. an 11-year-oId girl They were shot by a man in ambush as they were driving to Raymon. north of here.

ty men with him to beat the bill Colonel Halls letter implies that the business men naG no business to ask him, as as candidate for the office of Comptroller. his views on this piece of legislation. This is a surprising piece of assurance on his part. As Comp troller it would be his very important duty to validate the securities which promoters of public service corpora tions wish to unload on the public. The fees make it very profitable for a Comptroller to look favorably upon such fotations
 The State Business Mems Associa- tion is informed that Comptroller Bradstreet has declined to give his ap- rroval to the listing of securities, when an affirmative action would have been a source of considerable profit to him. Indeed the Comptroller is the only official. with the exception of the Gov ernor, in whose election public service corporations are directly interested.
 Now for Colonel Hall to talk about coercion and treat the communication of the business men so 1oftily may prove two-edged sword. not only to him but to some of his pilitical friends
 The State Business Mems Association is not in politics. nor is it interested in any mans candidacy for office, but it is fighting for a principle that it be- lieves should be established in this State. It also believes it is not dis courteous, coercive or impertinent to inquire of candidates whether they are in favor of this principle
