STRIFE IMMINENT
IN D. A. R. CIRCLES
Continued from PaEe One.

Illegal acts on the part Of the present ad-
ministration. The matter has been placed
in the hands Of an able attorney, and
meetings Of the D. a. R. will be held to
take steps looking to an impeachment.
Several months ago the anti-adminis-
tration faction held series of meetings
behind closed doors where ways and
means TO undermine the strength of the
party in power were discussed, but evil
IDENTIFY nothing specific of enough impor-
lance TO be taken before a d. A. X. gen
eral meeting could be found.
When the facts behind Miss Gerald S
case became known, there was rejoicing
in the camp of the conservatives.
The nti-administration Daughters
stand together in support of Mrs. William
Cummings Story. of New York. as the
next president general Mrs. Gerald is,
and has been for months. a stanch sup
porter of the conservatives candidate
When Mrs. Story visited Washington
shortly after Christmas she was enthusi-
astically greeted by her boomers, and
some of the administration Daughters
limited that the New York candidate OBJ
tanned many promises of future support
before she went back to Manhattan.
Charge Too Vague.
The daughters who have come TO the
rescue of Miss Gerald say that Mrs. Scott
should have made specific charges in an
open meeting and produced proof to sup
port them. They assert the word lin
subordination is too vague. and that
even if Mrs. Scott was justified. the
friends of the girl have the right 10 de-
mand details.
Just how soon the case will be thrashed
out is undecided. but friends of Mrs. Ger
aid and her daughter want an immediate
investigation, and hint darkly at legal
proceedings if the affair is not treated
properly by the administration.
Coming within six weeks of a national
D. a. r. gathering, the case has attracted
more attention than it would have OF
dlnarily, and it may be left to a vote of
the national body finally.

CHUCKWALLA VALLEY
IS A GARDEN SPOT
Rich Silt Soil Finest in the West.
Plans by Santa Fe
Railway

There has been &. big increase in the
price and sales of land in the Chuck
walla valley in east Riverside county
since congress passed the bill author
iZing the Chuckwalla Development
company to dam the Colorado river ten
miles above the town of Parker. This
bill passed congress April l, 1910, and
will mean the irrigation of some 100000
acres of land.
The Chuckwalla valley will be in the
not far distant future the garden spot
of the west. The soil there is all uni
form and the valley is frostless, as a
careful record of temperatures for
three years proves.
The fine silt soil and sandy loan,
with no alkali or hardpan, and with
water in abundance at from fourteen to
thirty-five feet, besides many flowing
springs, makes the Chuckwalla valley
the coming fruit country of the west
ern continent. Practically all the land
in the valley is now taken, either by
purchase, desert claims or homestead.
The Santa Fe has planned to build
from Blythe Junction to Palo Verde
through the heart of the valley.
W. H. McComber, who makes a spe-
cialty of Chuckwalla valley lands. re-
ports constantly increasing activity in
sales in that section and predicts a
sure increase in values, as the buying
public realizes the great opportunities
that wait the investor in this promis-
ing region.
