CALIFORNIA
IN ILLUSTRATED LECTURE
z---A~-r--A

! John p. Clum tonight will give 200
lantern slides in natural tintS and
many interesting moving picture films
at a free entertainment.
A rare opportunity is offered the
citizens of Ell Centro and vicinity to
see some of the beauty spots and
scenic grandeur of the Golden state.
| There will be splendid array of
beautifully colored slides, interspersed
with a pleasing display of most inter
esting and instructive moving pic
lures.
The Imperial valley will be the first
of California's rich and beautiful gar
dens to be presented and moving
picture taken in the valley will be
shown. A few glimpses of southern
Californias famous citrus belt will
follow, and then the audience will take
a dip in the delightful surf at Long
Beach.
The steamer "Cabrillo' has been
chartered for a special trip to Santa
Catalina, that fairy isle on a sum-
mer sea-"
At Santa Barbara that impressive
film, THE March of the Mission
Monks" will be shown. The superb
beauties of Del Monte will appear
realistic upon the screen, and some
thing of the dramatic story of dear
cid Monterey will follow. A gala day
at far-famed Santa Cruz will be hand
somely portrayed.
The incompatible Yosemite valley
impressively illustrated with slides
and films, will be the concluding feat
ure of the lecture. Those majestic
columns of water will be seen falling
as they appear in nature.
Having one of the latest improved
high grade, double dissolving stereop-
ticons and moving picture machines.
and a thorouogohly first class equip
ment throughout, under the direction
of a skilled operator, Mr.. Clum is able
to secure The most artistic effects in
the projection of his rare collection
of views.
During last fall and winter Mr.
Clum lectured in Canada, Washington
and Oregon, and this spring he has
presented his delightful lectures at all
the large resort hotels in southern
California. At the Moore theater in
Seattle he had an audience OF 5000
and the next evening he addressed
more than 5000 people in the Gipsey
Smith tabernacle at Tacoma.
Speaking of Mr.. Clum's work at the
recent land show in Los Angeles, the
Express of March 26 says: THE
evening lecture program will close
with the superb illustrated address on
Yosemite by Mr. John P. Clum, this
feature having been one of the most
popular at the land show"
The lecture will be gwen this even
ing at the Christian church, commenc-
ing at 7:3O o'clock. 1t is entertaining,
educational and patriotic. The fact
that no admission is charged should
not persuade anyone to underestimate
it's merits.

MOBILE Town SITE IS v
TO Be ABANDONED

The townsite of Mobile is to be
abandoned and the matter was brought
before the supervisors today
The Seeley Land company, owners
of the Seeley townsite, which adioins
Mobile, has made deal whereby it
will take over the Mobile site and ad-
jacent lands and engage in an exten-
slve subdivision project. This prom
ises to be one of the biggest realty
in the history of the val
ley, and it will result in placing about
the new town of Seeley a density of
population which will greatly add to
the importance of the town.
Messrs. Conley, Ferguson and Comp
ton and others interested in Seeley
are understood to have associated
with them in the bigger deal some
large capitalists, who. will assist in
making of the big venture an unusu-
ally big success. 4g<

EGGS CONSUM ED

NEW YORK, May 6-Some startling
figures as to the appetite of this city
have been gathered by the marketing
committee of the state food investi-
eating commission here. 1t appears
that each year New York consumes
between 1896 100000 and 100000, 900
eggs, and that before now there have
been put away in cold storage ware
houses of the city no fewer than 319,-
SOC, 900 eggs. Each week the inhabi-
tants of this city eat over 1,350,00
pounds of butter, and in the course
of the year manage to make away
with 72,000,000 pounds. Last year the
market for cheese was considered un
usually poor, but in spite OF that fact
the amount consumed in the city was
so 900, 900 pounds.

SUBDIVISION WORK PLANNED
TO BEGIN FALL CAMPAIGN

Imperial valley will in the fall open
up subdivision work on an extensive
will be number of large operators
in the field.
One reason why colonization has
not proceeded even more rapidly in
the valley is that the time was not
ripe for subdivisions into smaller
holdings than the original filing. But
the demand is now growing up for
tracts of from five to twenty acres,
Imperial Valley press., 1912-05-07

and many persons are preparing to
meet this demand.
No one locality in the valley is to
have the benefit of this subdivision
work, but it is being taken up about
all the towns, with garden effect
promised in each place
Hundreds of thousands of people on
the coast are looking for just such
opportunities as this valley has to Of
fer, and score or more real estate
operators now intend to bring the
people and the land together on salts
factory terms.

WAS foul PLAY THE
CAUSE OF MANS DEATH?
GRUESOME FIND OF SKELETON
ON CASCADE CREEK SAID TO
INDICATE MURDER.

ASHTON ENTERPRISE, June 49,
A gruesome find of the skull an
bones OF man was made by MI
Fitzmeyer of the Cascade road hous
about eight miles from his place OF
Cascade Creek, some two weeks ago
i The remains are supposed to b,
of Philip Wagner, a man about %
years of age, who was working a,
the road house last fall for Messrs
Fitzmeyer and Dan Smith.
Wagner Is supposed to have had
$17O In cash. He and Smith had
decidede to do trapping all the win
ter and left the road house for the
camp eight miles distant, where they
were to build cabin for winter quar-
ters. 'a
A fewdays later Smith returned to
the Casade road house without Wag-
ner but did bring two hinl quarters
of Elk meat with him. He later
drove back to the Jackson Hole Val
ley, disposing of team and wagon
and cashing some of Wagner's checks
supposedly going out through Tenton
Basin to the railroad at st. Anthony.
The skull which was found had
hole through as If made by a bullet
going in at the back of the head and
coming out at the front. Mr.. Fitz-
myer also found a shoe and thinks he
can find enough other clothing to
make the indentification certain. Wag |
ner's mother lives at Phillpsburg,
Pa., and she has been Communicated
with and has heard nothing from her
son since last summer.
Smith owed several hundred dol
ars in Ashton to those with whom he
had traded during his three year
tay in this section. He was seen
everal times during the past winter
n Salt Lake City but no effort was
made to apprehend him as the disap-
of Wagner had not been
olved.
If Smith is guilty of foul play
'hich is the general opinion-he 7
ught to be found as he has natural ;
eformities by which anyone would !
him who had once seen G

Don't Be Deceived
On Lumber Prices

There's a big difference in buy.
ing just lumber and in buying
the kind Of lumber we sell.
Your contractor or carpenter
will tell you that some lumber
can BE nailed right into house
without a plane ever touching
1t. That means the saving Of
hand labor. OF course, the
lumber deal, r has to charge a
little moro for this smoothly
finished lumber, but in the end
1t really means a big saving to
you. Right here Is where a
lot of mistakes are made when
lumber is bought solely on
price-without regard to quail
ity. True. Is to 20 years ago
lumber sold for from 10 to
25% cheaper. but you do your |
self and your pocket book a
great injustice when you COM
pare that lumber with tho 500
to 1870 greater values you
really get today. Come In and
see tho difference.
