SOUTHfRNFRS LOSE

Lack of Entries i'm All Events
Keeps Pomona From Making
Better Showing
[SpeciaI Dispatch 10 The Call


BERKELEY, April 6.--The Pomona
track team met defeat at the hands OF
California this afternoon on the Berke-
ley oval in the best contested meet of
the season. Although the local ath-
1etes piled up a score of 10 TO 43, the
southern men pushed them hard in
almost every race they entered, the
disparity being due in part to the fact
that Pomona had no entries in the broad
jump, high hurdles or shotput.
One intercollegiate record, that in the
two mile, went by the board when
Fischer won for the visitors in the fast
time of 8 minutes 54 seconds. Again
in the relay the Pomona team, consist
ing of Spurgeon, p. Sloane, Lorbeer,
Parker and H. Sloane, won by a mar
row margin from the Californians in 8
minutes 19 2-5 seconds, closely ap
preaching the coast record.
The results were as follows:

BLEAcHED FLOUR NO GOOD
Government Chemist Says the MIIers Know it is Unfit
 For Use.

Tt is just to please the eye. No good came come from making flour white,' says Chemist Wiley of the de- partment of agriculture. You can not find any amount of bleached flour going into interstate commerce. Ev- cry time I cut a loaf of bread I re- joice, because instead of it's having the whiteness of a corpse, it has that beautiful delicate amber that all bread ought to have.
 Several cases are pending against millers and I do not betray any con- fidence of the millers when I say that the fight on the case is made chief ly by the men who are selling the bleaching machinery The millers themselves would not fight it for a mo- ment if left to themselves. The bak- CTS of the United States were always opposed to bleached flour. They know the flour is injured by the process" "

CARISSO'S LATEST WELL
Water Bearing Gravel Stratum Eneoun tered at Forty Two Feet--Thous-
 and Foot Hole to Be Sunk.

The last we'll drilled by II. J. Stern berg, in the Carisso valley, was for Mir. Hunter. about four miles south and four miles west of Mesquite well, says the Brawley News This well, S-inch with a finch casing, was sunk to a depth of 174 feet At 42 feet a water bearing gravel stratum was found and at S6 feet the main gravel forma- ton was encountered This continued for distance of 55 feet
 This stratum seems to be the same that is in evidence at Mesquite well, as shown from the daily reports of drilling at that hole An apparently inexhaustible supply was found of the best water, free from all taint and clear as crystal.
 MT. Carlisle one of the well drill CTS believes that this gravel stratum underlies the whole valley, and it is only question of going about 100 feet deeper than in the wells previously dug. to find water. The water comes to the surface, while in the other wells it has only approached to with in 30 feet of the ground level.
 The outfit will be moved from Hun ters well to a point several miles distant, where MT. Sternberg and his friends and relatives have land hold ings. Here a well 1000 feet in depth will be sunk in an endeavor to ascer tain what formations underlie the country.

PALo VERDE DEVELOPMENT

The Palo Verde Mutual Water Con- pany has decided to sell water stock to settlers in the Palo Verde Valley on tracts of forty acres or more, and a large number of land claimants have arranged to purchase this stock and get the water onto their lands as soon as possible For a long period development on large area of land has been held up because of the atti- tude of the water company, but the new arrangements gives promise of much progress in the lands along the Colorado river within the ensuing year. Surveyors are running lines for the new distributing systems, and six ty men and as many mule teams have been taken to the valley to begin ditch construction.

WARNING TO MELON GROWERS

To the Editor of the Press, Sir:
 To forecast the coming cantaloupe season would not only be thankless job, but a useless one as well; the action of such distributors as have already opened their lists to the pros pective grower in allowing a mater ially higher advance than they have heretofore given is the best possible augury of the financial outcome that can be made. Here one note of warn ing might well be needed by the grow CT: Be sure that you have a signed copy of the contract, that it is legal ly valid and that the advance has no strings attached to it; in other words, that it is a straight pay ment on account" no part of which can be reclaimed
