JAPAN TO BUY
IMPERIAL COTTON
Japanese Banker Visits the Valley
and Declares That His People Are
Ready to Spend $6,000,00o With
Southwest Cotton Growers.

Japan is ready to spend $4,000, 900
with the cotton growers of the Impe-
rial valley this year, according to Yu-
kinori HoshinO, managing director OF
the Kajima Bank of Osaka, Japan.
Toshino declares that because of
southern states, Japan must now
look to the Imperial valley for cot
ton with which to run its mills.
Last year large orders were placed
with the Imperial growers for ship
ment to the Orient.
'The only objection we had to
this cotton" said Hoshino, was
that the fiber was too short for our
mills. l have just been through the
Imperial valley. have made care
full and comprehensive study of the
product there and | find that they
are growing long fiber now. This
means that we will place orders for
large shipments as soon as | return
to my country and have confer
ence with the mill owners and the
bank
II was we'll pleased with what
| saw in the Imperial valley, and
| believe that the cotton industry
there will become one of the great
est industries of your state, and
that in a comparatively short time
it will outdistance the south. l base
my belief on the excellent climatic
conditions here, which make it pos
sible for cotton growing without
the losses that are periodically suf-
fered by the southern growers.
Japan will be delighted to become
the patron of the Imperial valley.
We will gladly divert the expenditure
of our money to Imperial valley, be
cause we can save tremendous sums
in freightage of the raw material"
THE statement of the Japanese
banker will undoubtedly be hailed
with delight by the cotton growers OF
Imperial valley, as the crop condi-
tions are now declared to be better
than at any time since this industry,
still in it's infancy, was started.

and served the people well. In
a letter issued to the voters Mr.
Jordan pledges himself to oppose
any extravaganza in the expen-
diture of the peoples money.
J. B. Smarr is out for anoth-
er term for the office of coun-
ty superintendent of roads, and
his card appears in this weeks
issue of The Post Smarr has
ably filled the position for the
past few years and relies upon
his record to bring him the nomi-
nation at the coming primaries.
While candidates for the office of
county recorder are more numerous
than for any other one office one
of the most popular men to announce
himself for recorder is James T.
Hodges of Yuma, whose card ap-
pears in this weeks issue of The
Post. Combined with his popularity
through the county Mr.. Hodges pos
sesses the ability necessary for con-
Quoting the office of recorder in a
competent manner He will visit this
part of the county sometime before
the date of the primary election.
For Justice of the Peace.
In another column C. w. Graves
announces his candidacy for the Of
flee of justice of the peace OF Par
ker precinct at the coming primary
election. Judge Graves has filled this
office for nearly four years to the
entire satisfaction of everybody in
the precinct. He is we'll qualified
for the position and numbers his
friends from both political parties
He will probably have no opposition
for the office, and it is also quitl
probable that the democrats will en-
dorse him. Judge Graves is a repub.
lican, but in the selection of pre-
cinct and county officers the people
should choose the most capable men
regardless of party affiliations. JUS
tice of the peace is an important pre-
cinct office, and the people of Par
ker could do no better than nOmin-
ate and elect Judge Graves. Beside.
filling the office of justice, Judge
Graves is also postmaster of Parker
and u. S. Commissioner.

All over the territory there is
wall going UP from justices of the

DUNKIRK MINE
MAY RESUME
Negotiations Pending For Compro-
mise With Party Who Jumped
Property For Failure of Company
to Do Assessment Work.

Ben Holmes, formerly manager
of the Dunkirk Gold Mining com
pany was UP from San Bernardino
last Monday to meet other officials
of the company, who arrived during
the past week, for an inspection
of the Dunkirk mine Mr. Holmes
was in Parker and stated that an
effort is to be made to settle the
dispute over the ownership of the
Dunkirk.
1t will be remembered that on
December 81 of last year the Dun
kirk company sent a representative
to the property to do the annual
he was run off the property by
unknown parties, and told to hit
the trail back to whence he came.
He went, and, it is said, lost nc
time in beating it back to Videl,
where he told of his experience
with the claim jumpers
1t appears that the parties who
originally jumped the property got
cold feet, fearing that the Dunkirk
company would invoke the aid of
the law for the possession of the
mine, which is said to be valua-
sle However, the officers of the
tcompany were slow in making their
nexl move. In fact, their visit to
this section the past week is their
initial effort to regain possession.
Now they have a different state
of affairs to contend with, for. after
the original jumpers got out Of the
country, another man, Herman An
nalno. quietly slipped down to the
mine one day the latter part OF
january and finding no recent To-
cation notices posted and the as
sessment for 1910 not begun by the
Dunkirk company he assumed that
everything in sight was open to
location. Accordingly he posted
his notices, and now the company
is endeavoring to effect a compro-
mise with Annamo.
Mr.. Holmes met the other Off
GERS of the company, who arrived
from Winslow Tuesday, and started
for the mine, where they expect to
convince Annamo that he is in
wrong because he failed to re-
cord his notices before May, while
the law states that but thirty days
must elapse after location before
the same must be filed with the
county recorder.
Mr.. Holmes stated that if the
Dunkirk company succeeds in com
promising with Annamo active work
on the property will be resumed at
once The work is to be done in
the ol0 shaft, where some very
high-grade ore was found during the
progress of sinking, and it is believed
that the vein can be picked up at
depth by running a cross-cut.
Up to the time of going to press
the result of the negotiations for a
settlement with Annamo could not
be learned.

TREES ADAPTED
TO THE VALLEY
Those Who Have Planted Trees in
Palo Verde Valley Feel Amply
Repaid For lnvestment.-Apr
and Peaches Flourish.

BLYTHE, Cal. Sept 22.-Now
that the fall has arrived in
quiries daily increase in regard -tC
trees best adapted to the valley
The pianeers thus far have not de-
voted much of their energy to the
planting of orchards, but those who
have planted a few trees about the
ranch as well as the few small
paintings scattered about the valley
feel amply repaid for their trouble
and investment
The newcomer is amazed at the
wonderful growth and early bear
ing of many of the trees. Mr.. Fred
Springer has a small orchard which
has done especially we'll. One year
ago this spring he planted among
h + trees few apricOts
and now they have obtained a growth
of fifteen feet and he enjoyed fruit
from these trees this past season
His peach trees have flourished and
also bore fruit this past season.
Mr.. Springer expects to plant TWEEN
ty acres to apricots in the spring.
Figs, olives and almonds have
made good showing and have every
appearance of bearing a good crop
in the valley. The Riverside Devel-
opment company has few acres
planted to grapes and for two-year-
old plants bore a good crop this
past season. The grape, | think, has
made as good showing as any
other fruit. Many in the valley have
also enjoyed blackberries and they
seem to flourish here with but lit
tie care.
Although the valley is still in
the experimental stage for many
things l feel that many of the above
mentioned trees have made suffi-
cient showing for those who are
interested in fruit growing to feel
assured that decedeous fruit can be
grown commercially with much
profit. The home lover can also
be supplied with an assortment of
fruit with but little trouble and
many homes now have their places
adorned with flourishing fruit trees.
Geo. r. Kelsey has decided to sub
divide his 160-acre ranch southwest
of Blythe and cut it up into 20 and
40 acre tracts or more, to suit the
purchaser The land is all cleared
and leveled and ready to go to work
on at once and is now being seeded
to barley The land has water stock
and lies we'll and the soil is all that
could be desired. The idea of di
viding the land into smaller tracts
means much in any country. for it
is the small farms that are we'll
farmed and makes land valuable
and supports the large population,
and as the valley is cut up into 40
acres and less, the more rapid the in
crease will. be to the acre and the
more produce will be raised

Buys the Noel Mine.

M. E. Griffeth, California mine
operator, has secured the l. P. Noel
mine, situated on the southerly slope
of Big Harquahala mountain and has
begun operations there of practical
sort, which would suggest that he is
strictly on to his job. The first
thing in order was the laying out of
a good wagon road, and Mr. Griffeth
stated to the writer that he had sue
ceeded in getting a line of grade that
would not exceed IL per cent, which
will run quartering along the range
in an almost direct course to Wen
den. The distance from the mine
to town will be about eleven miles.
The grading will cost about 5000.
Teams and men have already been
engaged for the work and when com
pleted a stamp mill will be install
ed near the mine, which will place
that worthy old property in the pro-
ducing class from the word go.

EXPERIMENTING
SPINELESS CACTUS
Will Be of lnestmabI Value to the
Farmers of the southwestern
Diego Man to Plant Considerable
Acreage of Nuts Near Wenden.

WENDEN, Ariz., Sept 22--To the
everlasting credit of the Southern Pa
cific railroad officials that company
has established experimental gar
dens at Phoenix for the purpose OF
testing and trying out the merits OF
the different grains, grasses and for
age plants that seem best adapted
to the arid regions of this country
George Gam, travelling freight and
passenger agent of the Arizona East
ern, in Phoenix, at his grounds at
624 North Fourth avenue, is expert
menting with the various kinds of
spineless cactus and will soon be
able to enlighten the public as to
the merits of that interesting plant.
Some of the latest creations in
the cactus line that Mr.. Gam has
secured from the u S. propagating
station at Washington, D. c., is now
being tried side by side with the
Burbank perfected spineless cactus,
and results are being carefully noted.
Their report, when issued will be of
great value to the farmers of Arizona.
An idea of what may be accomplish
ed in growing the Burbank perfect
ed spineless cactus is in evidence in
small field near Wenden, where
the cuttings were planted two years
ago Out of fifty cuttings that were
planted forty nine have gOrwn to be
large, healthy plants, many of them
seven feet high and six feet across.
The tonnage from a full acre Of such
plants would loom up like a fish
story Besides, the yield of fruit the
past season amounted to considerable.
With the exception of three irrigat-
ings these plants received the first
year they have made this wonderful
growth from the natural rainfall.
