CUT SEVEN CROPS rENRLY.

Arizona has established an experiment station in the heart Of this big valley, which is some twenty-fouT miles long, and in spots ten 10 twelve miles wide, down on the lower level. The results are wonderful. Last week they were cutting a crop Of alf;rYia on this ex- perimental farm, and for seven consecutive months they will cut succeeding crops. The only months when the crop IS not cut here are December and January.
 Gotten and tobacco grow with the greatest luxuriance, and this rich alluvial soil will be noted in a very few years as the ideal spot in the whole country for dairying, hog raising the production Of poultry andvegetables, which one hesitates to call early or late, as they will be perennial. New potatoes will be produced in the middle of January, tomatoes will be ripe by the first of March, ripe grapes will be gathered in the early days of May, and apri- cots by the middle'of the same month. Chic kens and turkeys flourish there ia the winter time beyon5 all experience anywhere else.
 The rainfall is exceedingly light and comes only three or four times in 9 whole winter. WNh an abundance of green alfalfa and veget- afie She dry and not overheated climate prevailing in. the winter months, chickens are free from the disease that make their raising difficult elsewhere. There is no spot in South Crn Illinois CT Missouri so adapted to the pro- duction of corn as this valley along the Cobra do RfTer. Withalfalfa and corn, the butter cheese. eggs, poultry and pogiE % be raised on a twenty y-acre farm will amaze those who have the. experience in! American agrioultural affairs
 The winter climate around Yuma is ;s thing so intoXicGtingly salubrious lhaI no worls can describe it. Those deserts of Anerica, as we have regaTded them heretofore. seem to defy the ills that human nature elsewhere is so prone to contract and suffer from. The atmos phere is as dry as punk, the skies cloudlessly clear, the air mild possible, and every bpeath seems 10 be an inspiration of new life.

TRIAL OF ACCUSED WIFE
MURDERER IS OPENED
Frank SkeIIey, Santa Ana Lum-
ber Merchant, Begins
Struggle for Life

SANTA ANA, Cal, July 1S.-Frank
NJ. Skelly, lumber merchant, contrac-
tor and prominent lodge man of west
minister, was placed on trial in the
superior court here today for the muir
der of his wife in May of this year
Il is believed that the selection OF a
Jury will occupy several days.
Skelly was accused by his wife on
her deathbed of having sought her
death by, a horrible method. According
to the testimony of the mother of the
murdered woman at the coronerS IN"
quest, Skelly met his wife on the
morning of May as she entered the
kitchen to prepare breakfast. He car
ried bottle of gasoline, and as soon
as Mrs. Skelly was within reach, ac-
cording to the witness, he dashed the
gasoline upon her and then applied
match. This was the story the dying
wife told her mother, at the same time
imploring her to keep it secret for the
sake of her children.
Several neighbors testified at the IN
quest that Mrs. Skelly had run into
the yard with her clothing and halr
ablaze, and while efforts were being
made to extinguish the flames she up
braided her husband, excla1mlng:
"Oh, Frank, how could you do II
Whv didn't YOU shoot me instead OF
taking this horrible way?"
Skelly testified at the inquest that
his wife had been burned as the result
of the explosion of a gasoline stove. He
was himself terribly burned in the eff
fort to extinguish the flames that en-
veloped her, and spent several weeks
in hospital.
Indications are that the insurance
on the life of Mrs. Skelly will be gone
into as a possible motive for the al
legged crime. A number of insurance
men have been called as witnesses.

to Argue for ConcIave in
Angel City

At the meeting of the Los Angeles
Convention league held in the assem-
bzly room of the chamber of commerce
last evening, Motley H. Flint was
unanimously elected president. Other
officers elected were L. NJ. Cole, first
vice president; w. G. Hutchison, sec
ond vice president; Charles H. Toll,
treasurer, and Frank Virgins, secre-
tary.
Though organized only a short while,
the league has a membership of 326,
and by next meeting expect to reach
the thousand mark.
H. B. Goodell reported that he had
secureu the convention of the State
Electrical Contractors association for
Los Angeles in 1911.
At last evenings meeting matters
pertaining to the securing of big con-
ventions were discussed and the league
decided on a concerted action toward
securing the G.. L. r. in 1912, the Bien-
nial conclave of knights Templars in
1918, and the sovereign grand lodge OF
Odd Fellows in 1912.
President Motley Flint stated that
a special train of California Knights
Templars will leave for Chicago dur
ing the fore part of the coming month
for the purpose of securing the
knights Templars' convention. Five
cities are in the field for this conven-
ton, but California is going to strive
hard to have the Knights in Los An
geles during 1913.
At Mr. Flint's suggestion, the league
board decided to supply the California
delegation with suitable souvenirs,
they having decided that small boxes.
each containing two big oranges, will
be used. The California Knights will
also distribute expensive souvenirs of
California, these souvenirs being given
by the Los Angeles commandery.
A vote of thanks was extended the
Los Angeles newspapers for their as
sistance and vote of thanks was also
rendered G. NJ. Swindell, the acting
secretary.
With the exception of few changes
the board of directors for the ensuing
term will be the same as the board
appointed when the league was or
ganized; The board follows; oI F. Def-

.ELLERY HERE TO
| MAKE CAMPAIGN
Candidate Opens Headquarters
in Alexandria HoteLfor Stay
in Southern California
WILL SPEAK IN MANY TOWNS
Satisfied with Results of Work in
North, but Refuses to
Make Prediction
WILL SPEAK IN MANY TOWNS

Nathan Ellery state engineer and
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for governor, arrived in Los An
geles last evening for a ten days cam
paign throughout Southern California.
Mr.. Ellery has been stumping the
northern portion of the state, and will
do the same here, beginning today,
when he goes to Pomona to address
the voters of that section.
Mr.. Ellery last evening opened head
quarters at the Alexandria hotel, which
will remain open during his stay in
this portion of the state. He will start
out this evening by automobiling to
Pomona, and make a speech this
evening. Thence he will go to San
Bernardino, Redlands, Riverside, Co
roma and Santa Ana, and then return
to this city, where he will be heard
July 26 Following this present trip he
will visit the towns and cities farther
south, including San Diego.
Last evening Mr.. Ellery stated that
he was satisfied with the outlook.
81 am making this fight for the
nomination alone and unaided by any
party or faction of a party" he said.
"I am a Republican, and always have
been, but 1 am not affiliated to the
slightest degree with either the So
called machine Republicans or Ine
Lincoln Roosevelt Republicans I stand
alone on the record I have made dur
ing the past ten years while serving
California as state engineer.
"I can say nothing in regard to the
chances of my opponents. You see. L
am SO busy advancing my own cause
that have had no chance to consider
their progress. To be perfectly frank,
1 do not know and do not think they
know any more than anyone else how
things are going. This new primary
law is making it very hard to judge
just where any of us stand. No one
can tell until after August 16.
From my personal contact with the
people all over the northern portion
of the state I am led to believe that
1 have a good chance. And 1 am not
deceiving myself. The old-time poll
ticians who believe old-time political
methods are going to be used to ad-
vantage in forecasting the results are
going to be fooled. You can tell moth
ing until you get out and mix with
the people, and then you very soon dis
cover how you stand"

Latest News and Notes in Realm of Politics

10. Are you in favor of eliminat-
ing from our politics the Southern
Pacific Railroad company and
political bosses?

sive and such as to insure full
opportunity and freedom to the
people to nominate their own candi-
dates?
70. Are you in favor of the ex-
tension of the civil service to

tablish civil service in county and

titude and intentions towards them

HARD QUESTIONS
LinCoIn-RooseveIt Choice for a
United States Senator Sends
Machine 'Stunner'
FEW S. P. CANDIDATES REPLY
Legislative ASpirants Seem Un-
able to Locate Their Plat
forms or Principles
FEW S. P. CANDIDATES REPLY

Judge John D. Works, Lincoln
Roosevelt candidate for United States
senator, has sent q "stunner" to the
various machine candidates for the
state legislature. When interviewed
yesterday, Walter Leeds, one of the
machine sacrifices, said that he didn't
think he would reply to it, because it
would take several volumes to explain
his answers to the various questions
propounded by Judge Works. George
L. Saunders, another machine aspirant
for the legislature, said he would issue
a reply today, "if he has time" Similar
answers were made by other candi-
dates for the legislature, none of whom
seem to know just what to do when
they are squarely asked for a, state
ment of their platform and principles.
Following is Judge Works letter to
the various candidates:
Dear Sir: AS you are candi-
date for the legislature 1 am in
terestel in knowing what your at
titude is towards certain questions,
vital to the people OF this state,
and of personal interest to me,
personally, as a candidate before
the people for United States Sena-
tor. That the people may be in
formed on that subject I submit,
herewith, certain questions to
which 1 would be glad to have
your answers.
These are tho questions:
1. Will you, If elected to the leg
islature support and vote for the
candidate for Uunited States sena-
tor that receives the highest num-
ber of votes in your district?
g. VIII you vote for the candi-
date for United States senator
that receives the highest number of
votes in the whole state?
Will you vote for the candidate
for United States senator that re-
ceives the highest number Of votes,
both in your district and in the
state?
Your answer in the affirmative
to any of these questions will be o
taken to mean that you will con-
sistently and continuously vote for
such candidate in good faith so
long as there is reasonable hope
of his election and will not be
satisfied by complying with the
letter of your answer by voting for
him once or more, not with the
intention of supporting and secur-
ing his election.
4. Are you in favor of tho cleo
tion OF United States senators by
direct vote of the people
5. VIII you support any measure
that may be introduced to estao-
lish the right of the people to
elect United States senators by di-
rect vote?
6. Are you in favor of the initia-
tive and referendum in state az
fairs?
7, viii you, in good faith, and
with the purpose of securing its en-
actment or adoption, support and
vote for such measure or measures
as will secure to the people of the
state the initiative and referen-
DUN?
s. Are you in favor of nom
partisan judiciary in this state:
9. VIII you, in good faith, and
with the purpose of securing its
enactment or adoption, support and
vote for a measure providing for
the non-partisan election of judges?

Striking Brewery Workers Talk
of Prohibition Petition to
inconvenience Brewers

Prohibition is the weapon which
union men are planning to use next
against employing brewers Of Los An
geles. At mass meeting of union
men in the Union Labor temple yes
terday morning a movement was start
ed which, if it eliminates as the lead
ers are confident it will, will make Los
Angeles a "dry" town. 1t is said that
Immediately a campaign will be opened
to seal the cork In every liquor bottle
in the city.
1t is intimated that a petition will
be put in circulation next Monday
morning asking for a vote by the peo-
pie of the city on the question of pro-
hibition. A meeting will be held Sun
day night to inaugurate the crusade.
Every union In the city. 1t Is said,
will lend it's support, and representa-
tive union men have expressed their
belief that it will take only few days
to secure the required number of
names to the petition. The necessary
number is 10 per cent of the total
number of votes cast at the last cleo
ton in order to base initiative proceed
ings. It is claimed by union men that
sufficient names can be secured in
their own ranks.
The last attempt to establish prohi-
bition in Los Angeles was defeated
June 5, 1905 The vote was SS49 for
and 15,4S7 against.
A meeting will be held today at
which it probably will be decided what
action is to be taken aggressive to
the anti-picketing ordinance passed by
the council last week. No plans have
been definitely arrived at yet. 1t is
understood that drastic measures will
be taken, but union men are not In
clined to state what their plans are.
w. B. Hoswell secretary of the
Founders and Employers association,
said yesterday that no picketing was
being practiced by strikers and that
there have been no recent develop
ments in the strike unfavorable to
