IN IMPERIAL VALLEY

The vineva~dists of Imperial vallev
met at Imperial February 26 and e.
feCted permanent organization. 1t
is the purpose of this organization to
make arrangements to construct a pre-
cooling plant in the valley to pro id =
for the 1910 crop. 1t is the unanimous
oDinion of the grape growers that there
will be upward of 100 cars shipped dur
ing the coming season There is every
reason to believe that grapes will fe-
come one of the best paying Gro in
the desert country before many years
have elapsed, provided proper pro-
visions are made for handling the
graues during the summer months.
Walter Packard of the state expert
mental station is arranging to plant
about 900 date seeds within the next
few weeks on the land of the Heber
Collegiate Institute for experimental
purposes. He will also plant several
varieties of cotton as well as a number
of cover crops
Thermal will plant out this year an
unusually large acreage to canta
loupes. 1t is said that the growers
are prompted in this move by the fact
that a number of growers in the I'm
perial valley district will devote their
lands principally to cotton this season.
To aid early ripening and to get into
the market with the first shipments,
the growers are warming up their
lands with several good plowings be-
fore planting.
Alfalfa raisers find it to Their advan-
tage to have a few stands of bees. AS
the original cost is slight, and the bees
provide their own food, go after the
raw material for the manufacture of
honey, demand but slight attention and
make such bountiful returns, bee cul-
ture has come to be valuable "side
line" for the farm.
Alfalfa honey is white and clear IN

licious flavor and an aroma that is de-

BEAUTY oF GARDEN FOUNTAINS

Nothing so sets off a pretty lawn or
flower plat as tiny stream of water
playing from a jet in an artistic yet
not necessarily expensive fountain. The
patter of the drops as they fall back
into the basin is as pleasing to the
ear as the tinkle of the tiny wind-bells
seen so frequently in porches. Just a
little out of the ordinary, but speaks
volumes for the culture of the owner
of the domicile.
California with its always green
lawns and blooming flower beds gives
far greater range to the artistic
fancy than is possible in any other
part of the United States; and yet
aside from the grounds of the inde-
pendently rich, the absence of a
dainty little fountain is noticeable
around the pretty bungalows and cot
tages for which this sunny southland
is world-famous.
1t is not necessary to build large, or
nate fountains; and the supplying them
with water is of course expensive
where it is measured but many fami-
lies waste more water through the
common garden hose working hour
each day to no appreciable benefit.
Select a space in your grass or flower
plat, have it shoveled out to a depth
of possibly two feet by ten feet in
diameter If possible, and after placing
your feed and waste pipes in position,
have the hollow carefully cemented.
The cost of such a fountain would be
inside $40. and would add ten times its
value to the Improvement of your
lawn. Then, too, a few water pants
growing in the basin would add to the
effect; and If you were so disposed, a
few gold fish might be added.
OF course If you desire to build a
large fountain it would be better to
have the work or plan laid out by a
landscape gardener. But If you want
to get some real pleasure out of your
garden, put in a small fountain.

Umpire Bush, who was in three-Eye
territory for a short time last season,
as we well remember here in Rock
Island, got in bad in Saturdays game
at Galveston. Not with the home club,
but with Manager Andrews of the
Oklahoma City club. Bush was COM
PEELED to put Andrews out of the field
but he came back again and it was
necessary for a couple of cops to re-
move him. Umpire Bush is a joke"
said the manager of the Oklahoma City
team. Andrews seems to have had a
good time at Galveston and when or
dered out of the park by the umpire,
he perched himself on the left field
fence and gave directions to his men
from that position until he was re-
moved from his elevation by two blue
coats: "I don't mind decisions that
are against my men when they are
substantiated by the rules of baseball
but take it from me, that man Bush
does not know the game. l am sorry
for the teams that have to work under
him. His decisions at Galveston were
extremely bad and resulted in our
losing the game

NOTES OF THE GAME
Jacksonville here today.

JACKSONVILLE here today.
Kankakee will be here Sunday for
probably the last home game before
the league season opens.
The Rock Island team is to go to
Clinton tomorrow to play game with
Ted Sullivan's aggregation. Ted has
promised a big crowd to greet the Isl
anders, who were always popular
there.
Davey's fielding is not quite up to
the standard that the fans want to
see, but his hitting is certainly fea-
ture. Five hits in five times up is
going some, even in game such as
yesterdays.
Again it must be said that there are
three speed fiends in the outf1eld.
Manusch made some wonderful catches
yesterday and 1t looks to the fans as
though anything that gets through or
between them will be real hit
Wee Willy Hunter pulled of his
usual stunt of going to third from first
on q. sacrifice Willie is certainly fast
at covering the base lines. Incidentally

poke that was good for two sacks,
while all the singles were of the nice
clean variety that look SO good when
1t is the home team that makes them.
Slattery held down second place again
in the hitting department, his offering
being three nice clean bingles, one of
which nearly amputated the hands
from Second Baseman Cook of the Wis
itors. Manusch made two hits. and
Vogel was the only one of the regulars
outside of the pitchers who failed en-
tirely TO get a safe one. Callahan
stole two bases, as did Slattery also,
and Manusch and OLeary each pill
fered one.
Pitchers Out of Form.
Both Wagner and Comingor, who
did the twirling for the locals, ap-
peared out of their usual form, and
the result was that the visitors seemed
to have a chance, especially as the
remainder of the team were bound to
make a joke out of the game. Wag
ner allowed three hits and four runs,
the scores being due almost as much
to his own two errors as to the efforts
of the visiting batterS. Comingor was
wild and he issued four free passes in
addition to allowing six hits. The six
hits and couple of errors netted the
Muscatine bunch five runs in a like
number of innings
None of the slants tossed up by
Eyler and Swartslander for Muscatine
contained any terrors for Tighe's re-
cruits and they banged the ball to all
corners of the lot. In addition to this
the visiting beavers were wild and six
passes were issued in the course of the
entertainment The box score just
about tells the whole story of the con-
test Here il is:

LINE OF BLANKS
FOR DAVENPORT
Rowland's Jacksonville Team
Applies Whitewash in Our
Neighboring City.
POOR WORK ON THE BASES
Shafferites Outhit Visitors but Fail
to Get Results After They Are
on Their Way.

Clarence Rowland's Jacksonville team
of the Northern association applied the
whitewash brush at Davenport yester-
day afternoon. While the Shafferites
had the edge in hitting, they could not
get enough of them in a row to secure
runs, and when they did have men
within hailing distance of the rubber,
headwork was lacking.
Jacksonville scored first in the
fourth. Vandine, with two down, was
hit by Nelson, emitting him to first
Dummy Hughes then caught the ball a
vicious swipe so that it sailed far out
on the border of center field out of
reach of Harry Ohland, and the wallop
was good for two bases for Hughes,
but Van was held at third In pitching
to Pagle, Nelson threw an underground
ball that collided with the rubber plate
and bounced over Mutt Waters head
and Vandine had time to romp home
before the ball was recovered.
The second tally was made without
a hit. Morganthaler walked to first on
Nelson's only gift, was sacrificed to
second, made third on a theft, and
COI1pISISu the OulL LII d ldlly, WuSH
Ballet hit sharply to one side of Hick-
man, who secured the ball too late to
catch Morgan. ETC., at home. and con-
tented himself with retiring the pitcher
at first.
PretzeIs' Near Runs.
Nye wasted a chance to score when
he was on third by virtue of his ground
er between second and first, an out,
and Waters hit in the same place.
Marty was caught snoring off third by
Catcher Walsh.
In the sixth everything looked rosy
for Davenport for a while, but that was
as far as it went. Ohland placed a
perfect bunt that Ballet did not even
attempt to throw to first Hilley hit
down past second and Ohland went to
third Hilley closed up the gap by
stealing second and runs were on the
tapis, but it is a good guess they stay
ed there, as Davenport did not get any
Geyer flew out to left and Ohland did
not attempt to score on the throw in.
Strader made a WOODY hit by sending a
high fly over first that Dummy Hughes
did not get near. Ohland attempted to
score on Straders hit and was caught
at the plate. For the third out, Com
ingor grounded to Vandine, leaving
Hilley and Strader on first and sec
ond.

EXCITING GAME
Scores Large and Not Far
Apart and Contest Ragged
but Interesting.
FINAL COUNT IS 10 TO 9
Davey Secures Five Bingles Out of
Five Times Up-Slattery There
With Club Also.

Yesterdays game with Muscatine,
which was won by tne islanders, ID
to 9, was a comedy of good plays and
misplays, and yet it was game in
which there was something doing all
the time, as the score shows. The
Islanders showed streaks of great bril-
liancy and then again they would get
into a strain where they could make
error after error and laugh as the
Pearl flinders chased each other
around the bases in a fruitless en-
deavor to come close to keeping the
score tied. The locals felt that they
had the game won before it was start
ed, as in fact they just about had, and
for that reason none of them attempt
ed to pull off any wonderful stunts.
They showed that they had the class,
however, as their ability to hit the
ball when they wanted to and to en-
circle the bases was something quite
put of the ordinary
Plenty of Good Hits.
Enough good hits were pulled off al
together by the Islanders to win three
ordinary games, and it seemed pity
to waste them all in one contest, such
as yesterdays. Jim Davey replaced
Willie Hunter as the star stick artist
of the team and he went the little
Buffalo lad one better on the record
made by the latter the day before yes
terday. Jim made five hits out of as
many trials and one of them was a
