eral Passenger Agent Batturs Of
Southern Pacific for Favors.

An extensively signed petition from
the civic bodies of Yuma and individ-
uals of Yuma and the Yuma Valley has
been sent to General Passenger Agent
Batturs of the Southern Pacific, asking
that one-way rate be granted for the
round trip from Los Angeles to Yuma,
in order to encourage prospective set
tiers of the Yuma Valley to make an
inspection of lands there. The asser-
ton is made by the petitioners that
should such rate be granted they be-
lieve they could, through this Cooper
alton, secure from 800 to 1000 families
to settle on small tracts in the Yuma
Valley and that many tourists who
yearly pass through Yuma and pro-
ceed to Los Angeles would come back
to make an investigation.

IMPORTANT DECISION
FROM THE LAND OFFICE

Some OF the most important OF the
many land contests involving rights
of entrymen in the Imperial country
have Just been decided by Register
Buren, and Receiver Robinson of the
Los Angeles land Office. Four sec
tons of land and approximately 5000
acres in smaller lots were included.
The contests grew out of the differ
ences in the surveys of the public
lands in that section of the country,
made by the government in 1856 and
1909, and score of claims overlapped
each other making the final ADJUST
ment very difficult.
The persons holding claims in the
disputed section were George Ste
phenson, Alva T. Vaughan, Mary Koch,
Edward and Thomas Donnelly, John
R.. Seifert, Maude Markwell, Robert
NJ. Davies, Judson H, Payne, Eugene
Cannon, David F. HARRISON, Thomas
w. Davies, Robert Berry, D. D. Copen-
hauer, Milton, p. Adams, Roy c. Hol-
brook, Peter ]. Sterns. Elliott McMul-
len, George H. Wooliscroft, Arthur
Ewens, Nat r. Titus and Jennie E.
Scott. ~. .".,-.. ......
OF the various parties interested,
all but Mary Koch, Ed Donnelly, Nat
R. Titus, Jennie E.. Scott and Arthur
Ewens were settled by compromise.
In the contest between George Ste
phons and Mary Koch, the officials
decided in favor of Stephenson; for,
Mary Koch against Edward Donnelly;
for Nat r. Titus against Donnelly; for
Arthur Ewens against Jennie Scott.
One of the features of the case was
the dilemma of Mary Koch, who had
entered 800 acres of land under the
desert land laws, and after the de-
termination of the various contests
she finds herself the posessor of three
nom contiguous tracts of land, and
must now elect to accept q acres, 60
acres or 80 acres, for under the law
she can only enter and secure patent
for one as the lands do not adjoin.
She has improved nearly all of her
original entry, and now finds that she
has lost it about all. Some of the de-
seriptions were so mixed that it will
be necessary to have them replatted.
These decisions are the initial and
most important of the many cases in
volving differences in the various sur
veys Of the public lands. ~ Brawley,

Dear Sir.-Referring to our CONVEX

order % do also what we can to make
a success of the fiesta, we will also
give reduced rates on the railroad for

Ave cents round trip from Ell Centre
to Holtville. You will remember that
your committee suggested to me that
We keep our rates at the regular fare
Of one dollar for the round trip, and
make q subscription of two hundred
and fifty dollars, and by keeping our
fare at the high rate this would help
us to pay this larger subscription.
] consider this fiesta very impor-
tant affair for Holtville and the East
side, as we'll as an enjoyable affair for
the people of the whole valley. | also
consider it good for the valley, as it is
a great advertiser of it-being spoken
of great deal each year by the news
papers, and others throughout South
ern California-and in this way adver-
tises ali of Imperial Valley.
We are very anxious to do all We
possibly can to make it success.

But most of the comments ON the
