FARMERS REJOICE
OVER PAL0 VERDE
Valley in Southern California Is
Destined to Become Great
Cotton Growing Section

Palo Verde valley. title to which has
been stuhoornly fought since it was
opened to settlement by the govern
ment last April, is to become another
valley of the Nile in cotton production,
according TO John w. Rannells, III
North Main street, and others of this
city who are to plant their first large
crop in the valley the coming spring.
Settlers in and near the town of Ram
pells are so iubilant over the outlook
as the result of experiments made on
small scale last season that they are
predicting that the Palo Verde valley
will in a few years equal if not exceed
the production of the great Imperial
valley in the staple.
This year about 5000 acres will be
planted in cotton in the Palo Verde val
ley, according to Mr.. Rannells. OF
this the Blythe ranch settlers will put
in between 1000 and 5000 and the Ran
nells settlers will plant about 5000 acres
Until the Palo Verde was opened for
settlement by the United States land
office last April. the possibilities of the
section were unknown, except upon the
Blythe ranch patent to which had been
issued prior to that time" said Mr..
Rannells yesterday "Cotton had not
been experimental in at Blythe, so
when the settlers swarmed into the
valley last spring a number began
clearing ground, and the result was
the planting of a small plot of long
staple cotton. Some idea of the pro-
ductiveness OF the soil may be obtained

viser'' to the politically unemployed,
was before the joint investigating COM
mittee today He expressed surprise
that there should be any doubt as to
how he earned $1,000 from the Jockey

Testimony connected his name with
such work, but it was not brought out

1904 of NJ. Lynn Bruce for lieutenant

His employment by the Jockey club,
he says, came about through Joseph
E. Auerbach of counsel for the club

NATIONS WILL SUPPORT
SAN DIEGO EXPOSITION
Worldwide interest Now Taken
in Elaborate Plans for
Foreign Exhibits

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 9.-That world
wide interest is being taken in the
unique exposition to be given in San
Diego throughout the year of 1915 is
evidenced by letters received almost
daily by Director General D. G. Collier
from foreign countries. Closely fol-
lowing a letter from the president OF
Guatemala stating that that country
will participate in the exposition; have
come others from Brazil, Honduras,
Belgium. France, England, Guade-
loupe, Yucatan, San. Salvador and
other far away countries. In some
instances the governments will send
exhibits of national character, and in
others the chambers of commerce or
other government or civic bodies have
taken charge of the matter and VIII
prepare the collective exhibits to be
sent.
The announcement contained in the
letter received from the secretary OF
ley, touching the towns of Blythe,
Neighbors, Rannells and Palo Verde,
and is prepared to build a line as soon
as the productiveness of the valley war
rants. The cost of the haul is not ex-
pected to exceed $40 ton,
A gin will he erected on the Blythe
ranch and also at Rannells, according
to Mr.. Rannells to handle the crop
next season. If the coming years crop
should be successful. it is predicted
that much Of the 100000 acres of the
valley will blossom with cotton in the
next few years.
Mr.. Rannells says if is prOba BILE that
Joseph II. LOTUS cotton king Of the
Imperial valley will go into the PalO
Verde on a large scale.

Y.M.C.A. HAS NOVEL
TENNIS GROUNDS
Members Enjoy Racket Game
Among the Clouds S-IncreaS-
ing Interest in Sports

Tennis among the housetops is the
latest innovation presented to the fans
of Southern California. The local
Young Mems Christian association has
just laid out a court over the plunge
annex. The floor is of cement and is
so situated that view may be had of
sea and mountain while the play
ers chase the bounding rubber about
the floor.
The court formerly was used for
basket ball. but it has been changed
into a tennis court in response to
numerous demands for the racket
game. Next to handball, which has
been encouraged by the addition of
two new handball courts, the game
of tennis seems to appeal the most to
business and professional men.
Another feature of the physical work
which has been put on by reason of
considerable request, is the opening
of the gymnasium and baths at
o'clock in the morning. This feature
appeals to business men who desire
their exercise and plunge before break
fast. The dining room in the ninth
floor is open to those who desire to
secure breakfast at the building.

when it is stated that the yield was at
the rate of two bales to the acre.
"Of course, no one expects to main
tain that average, but the result was
so satisfactory that the settlers of the
valley became convinced that cotton
could be successfully grown in the val
ley at a very good profit.
Settlers are so confident that the
state claim to the land under the over
flow act will be thrown out by the
United States surveyor generals office
that they have gone ahead with the
development of the land.
arrangements have been made with
the Palo Verde Mutual Water company
to bring water down to Rannells from
Blythe.
"Palo Verde, unlike the Imperial val
ley. will be strictly long-staple dis
trict from the beginning. The Allen
improved long-Staple cotton from Ten
nessee will be grown, and experts will
go to the districts free from the boil
weeVil to obtain seeds. AS the price
of the long staple is from to Is cents
better on the pound than that of the
short staple, the policy of this course
will be seen. Growers in the Palo YER
de expect to get $1OO cotton the coming
year, and if they get a bale to the acre
they will be highly pleased.
"The soil of the Palo Verde valley is
alluVial, and the entire valley is COW
cred by from six to eight inches of de-
composed vegetable matter. This makes
a richer soil than is found in the I'm
perial valley. 1t is covered with mes
quite, pigweed and grass, and may be
brought under cultivation with little
difficulty"
Mr. Rannells says he will plant 100
acres in April. w. n. Hamaker of the
First National bank will plant 100, and
a number of other persons of this city
who have land in the valley will plant
small tracts. Small acreage at the be-
ginning is being urged among the set
tiers, and of the 100 families near Ran
nells it is expected the average planting
will be forty acres to the family.
The product Of the Rannells settle
ment win be hauled by wagon five
miles to the river and sent up the Col
orado on barges to Parker, thirty miles
up the river. where the Santa Fe cutoff

the chamber of comm cree of Yucatan,
southernmost of the states of Mexico,
was highly gratifying to the Panama
California exposition officials, mas
much as it is expected that from this
country will come exhibits of the
relics of the first civilization on the
American continents. Here in the IN
teresting spot the Mayas lived and
thrived before the Aztecs and the Toll
tees, and the population of that coun-
try today is largely made up. of de-
scendants OF this ancient people.
The natural products of Yucatan
are rubber, coffee, hemp, spices and
hardwoods such as mahogany and
rosewood. The natives are deft work
ers in metals, the flisree work in gold
and silver and their wrought
articles of brass and copper being
notable in all the markets of the
world. Doubtless the exhibit at San
Diego made by Yucatan will be one
of the most interesting of the expo
sition.
M. Sainte-Croix de la Ronciere,
president of the chamber of COM
merce of Guadeloupe, in the French
West Indies, and councillor of the for
eign commerce of France, has written
Director General Collier that he has
been designated by the chambers of
commerce to solicit articles for an eX-
nlDlt at Lfle san OltSO thpOollloii rum
Guadeloupe and the Lower Antilles
and also to be the representative of
that French colony at the exposition.
This should be no less interesting
than that of Yucatan.
1t is now planned by the building
and grounds committee of the expo
sition to break ground for the first
building early in the coming spring.
This will be the art museum, one OF
the nermanent buildings of Balboa
park in San Diego, where the expo
sition is to be held 1t win be COM
pleted at least two years before the
opening of the exposition on January
1. 1915, and the art exhibit will be
installed Immediately upon its COM
pletion.
Plans for the ceremonies to attend
the breaking of ground for the expo
sition next spring are already under
way. and IL is expected that thousands
of people from all parts Of the country
will attend this celebration, which
may last for three days

EIGHT TEAMS kept IN
RACE BY STIMULANTS
Riders in Six-Day Grind
Are Far Behind World
Record

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-Far behind the
record, eight weary teams were still
grinding around Madison Square gar
den tonight in the six-day bicycle race.
The end will come at 10 o'clock to-
morrow night
At midnight, the 10th hour. the
teams stood:
Moran Root, Fogler-Hill, Hahrir-Gou
let, 1885; Mitten-Thomas, Collins
Drobach, 1855; Cameron-H -Halstead,
West Demara, 1884; Rutt-Clarke,
1858. The record is 2232, made by
Rutt and Stol in 1908.
The record for the 11Sth hour is
21S5.5, made by Demara and Hill in
1908.
Every rider is beginning to show
effects of the strain, and only constant
urging by trainers and a substantial
supply of stimulants keep the men on
their wheels.
Ever since Wednesday the riders
have dropped behind the worlds record.
Clarke and Rutt are in better condi-
tion than the others, and the specta-
tors were calling on them constantly
tonight to sprint.

NEW YORK, Dec. s.-The new football
rules will come up for critical consideration
at the fifth annual meeting of the Intercol-
legiate Athletic association, which convenes at
the Hotel Astor on December 2s. Thirty-eight
universities and colleges are included in tie
association membership. Most OF Nthe better
known football colleges are represented. Wit
the exception of Yale, Princeton and Cornell
II was this organization that first advo-
Gated reform in football five years ago and
brought about changes which eventually
merged into the present rules. Capt. p. E.

PALO ALTO-L.A.H.S.
STRUGGLE TO-DAY
Champions of Northern and
Southern California Clash
on Bovard Field at 2::3O

The value of the open and mass play
in the English game with the inter
scholastic championship OF the state at
stake is the football program for this
afternoon at Bovard field, Thirty-fifth
and Wesley avenue when Palo Alto
high school will meet the Los Angeles
high fifteen. The northerners, fresh
from a victorious season in the north,
came into town yesterday on the Lark
and went through a preliminary pass
ing practice yesterday afternoon. The
local youngsters, ready to make the
greatest battle of their lives to land the
state championship for the Angeleno
school, have been living football during
the past week, and are slated to make
it warm for the northern little holders.
In close play the Los Angeles high
school team has decidedly the advan-
tage. Superior in weight and strength
to their Palo Alto rivals, they expect
10 make their longest gains from drib-
bling from serum and following in from
touch On the other hand is arrayed
the speedy backs of the Cardinal ba-
bies, backs, according to runor, the
greatest the interscholastic ranks have
ever developed. 1t will be test of the
two styles of play, with the open work
and the fast backfield on the heavy side
of the balance.
Roofing such as the Wesleyan field
has never known is promised for the
clash of the two sectional chmapion
fifteens, and when it comes to sirens
and the general collection of noise pro-
ducers the local school has never taken
the count, even from the systematized
array of roofing talent the Southern
California conference colleges have pro-
duced.
The teams will line up as follows:
L. A. H. S.-Lynn, Wilson, Blades
Crowen Cass, Hodges, Pettingill, Con-
dron. Brown, Dorne, Beach, Fisher,
Patterson, Mcclure, Conway Newman.
