What effect will the opening to ac-
tual irrigation of 100000 additional
acres in the next twelve months hav Q
on the values of realty in Imperial
county?
This is a question which is peril
nent now and in which every land
owner is interested.
First of all, it must be understood
that every foot of the land which will
be brought under water has been filed
on. If any person thinks it will be
possible TO rush into the new district
and get land for nothing, he will be
disappointed, for no such opportunity
exists.
II is taken as established that the
land of this valley, brought under good
cultivation, now has market value Of
from 800 to $3.50 an acre, and it can
be believed that the people who have
claims to the land to be brought un-
der the new canals will base their
demands when they offer it for sale
on the conditions which exist in the
older portion of the valley
Taking the average farm of the val
ley. ii probably is true that the cost
Of grading. seeding and getting wa
ter right has reached S75 an acre, and
placing the new land at an average
value of 800 when developed, it be-
ing mainly we'll off the railroad, it
would appear that there is a margin
OF profit of about s25 an acre between
the value and the cost of develop
ment.
Will the land claimant take less
than S25 an acre for the land in its
raw state with the knowledge that wa
ter is to be provided at once? The
Press does not believe he will, but
that the cost to the purchaser in the
new territory will be as great as it
would be to buy an improved farm.
For this reason this journal does

EFFECT ON REALTY VALUES
OF 100000 ACRE ADDITIONS

not look for any depression of values
of farm land by the opening of so
large an area, but does look for an
actual increase in values from the
fact that there is certain TO be an
active demand for land in all parts of
the valley this season.
Already land buyers are appearing
in the valley, brought here by the pre-
vailing stock shortage throughout the
coast. and as the pressure on live
stock owners elsewhere increases the
demand for this land will be aug
mented.
1t is probable that this demand for
land this year would have forced val
ues upward this year abnormally had
it not been that the plans were an
nounced for the new project in time
tC prevent it.
Work to Begin at Once
Engineer Allison of the California
Development Company this morning
informed the Press that the work OF
digging the bypass for the new gate
is completed. and the erection of the
structure will be begun Immediately.
From this new gate, which is locat-
ed in the United States, water will
be diverted for all the canals on the
east side, including the new high line
canal, with which the great new ter
ritory is 10 be irrigated
This will be known as the Allison
gate, and it will have the advantage
of avoiding the conflicting internation-
al questions which sometimes prove
annoying
Under the new project, within a
year irrigation will probably be car
ried as far north as Imperial Junction,
and there will be continuous irrigation
for a stretch of about fifty miles in
the United States from the Junction
to the international line at
the southeast.

ITALIAN GANG SLEW
GIRL FOR REVENGE is
NEW POLICE THEORY

GEORGETOWN, CONN, Nov. Ii
That the young woman whose body
was found early Saturday morning in
the mill pond near here was murdered
for revenge by a gang Of Italians and
that the murder was committed at some
distance from the scene where the
corpse was found and brought to the
scene in wagon, was clearly estab-
lished by the state police today.
Little progress has been made toward
positive identification of the body. The
initials, "G. c." embroidered on cloth
wrapped around the body and the gold
ring which the woman wore furnish
practically the only clews to her iden-
tity.
The theory that the woman was killed
as an informer in the local liquor raids
OF a week ago is believed to have been
practically abandoned and Prosecutor
Bars, of Danbury, says that no woman
gave any evidence.

LIVE DEAD MAN
MAY FACE TRIAL

That Augustus J. Fem, the promi-
nent south Georgia lumberman who
disappeared several years ago and was
reported drowned. may. be prosecuted
in the Georgia courts for conspiracy to
defraud two insurance companies was
intimated by an officer of the Southern
States Life Insurance Company today
r. H. Roberts. one of the men who
swore in open court that he saw Fem
fall out of an open boat and disappear
beneath the waters of the Appalachf-
cola river one moonlight night almost
three years ago. already has been lodg-
ed in the Crisp county jail charged with
perjury and his partner, ]. S. Land,
who swore to the same thing, is being
sought by the officials of the county on
the same charge
The officials of the Southern States
Life expect the trial to bring out some
unusual developments. II their expec-
tations are fulfilled, Fem, who now is
in Texas or Mexico, will be appre-
hended by detectives and brought back
to Georgia to face the charge OF con-
spiracy. He was released at New Or
leans several weeks ago after being
found at the end of twoyear search
by the Pinkerton detectives.
Land, who was said to have been in
the boat with Roberts and Fem, has
disappeared and no trace Of him can be
found in Crisp county or the surround
ing country Roberts, who is in Jail,
absolutely refuses to talk. The insur-
ance officers say they will prove that
but two men started down the river in
the boat those two being Land and
Roberts, and that Fem framed it up
with the two to pretend that he was
drowned.
When Fem was apprehended In New
Orleans, his wife, who actually believed
him drowned, according to the insur-
ance officials. was winning suit for
SIS, 900 life insurance which he carried.
The trial OF Roberts and of Land, If
he is caught, will take place at the next
term OF the Crisp superior court. If at
that time a conspiracy IS proved the
insurance company will seek to have
Fem returned and sent to the peniten-
tiary for conspiracy to defraud.
