LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug. g.
DR.. Rebecca Lee Dorsey of Los
Angeles has become the most ex-
tensive grower of dates in the
United States.
DR.. Dorsey and her associates
own the Big Four ranch of 1852
acres and the Indio Date and Cot
ton Co. ranch of 378 acres, and
control the old Durbrow ranch, all
three close to Indio in the Goa
chella, and it is on one of these
properties that they will establish
a plantation of imported dates.
DR.. Dorsey and her associates
started In the date business this
spring, purchasing 600 offshoots
imported from North Africa-all
of the Deglet Moor variety, which
has SO far been THO favorite In
the United States. The supply of
this variety is now exhausted, and
they are turning to the more
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1912-08-06

famous Persian Gulf varieties to
complete their holdings.
DR.. Dorsey is about to retire
from her profession and give all
her time to ranching. Most of her
real estate holdings have been in
the city and around its harbors
until the last two years. when she
has begun to operate in the Indio
region, in whose future she is a
great believer. AS date growing
is conceded to the Coachella val
ley, she decided to concentrate her
energy on this. with the result
that she will have, when the ship
ment of offshoots she has now or
dered is received, the largest sin
gle holding of anyone In the
country.
At the present time the finest
plantation of imported dates in
the state Is probably that of the
California Date Co. at Heber, in
the Imperial Valley.

In some parts of Europe forks were
considered a great luxury and for a
long time their use was looked upon
as sin by the church.
In Germany the ordinary people
held that anyone who used fork was
trying to put on airs" The clergy
men considered them an insult to
divine providence. They insisted that
God had given man wholesome food

their horses were ferried across to the
village. There the Spaniard's mask
Of courtesy seems to have been cast
aside. The sight of Cofachiqui's pearl
necklace had awakened In the adven'
turers the typical Spanish craving for
plumber. De Soto ordered the princess
to produce all the precious metals the
village could boast.
She meekly consented. and soon q
long line of Indians was bringing to
De Soto's feet vast quantity OF shin
ing yellow and white metal. The Span
iards crowded frantlcally around the
hoard; then with curses they spurned
il from them. For the yellow metal
was nothing but copper, and the shin
ing white substance was a sort OF tin.
The wanderers had not found the FL
Dorado they had expected. And the
friendly Indians and their princess
were made to feel the disappointed
mems anger.
But the pearl necklace was proof
positive that there were precious
stones in the neighborhood' De Soto
ordered the princess to tell where
these gems could be found. BY this
time Cofachiqui had learned that her
peaceful subjects were no match for
the grim, we'll armed Spaniards. SO,
without resistance, she led the way to
temple where the royal dead were
inferred. With each body was buried
quantity of pearls. The adventures
fell to eagerly and looted the sacred
place OF its treasure.
Unable to get rid Of her brutal
guests by force, Cofachiqui hit on
clever trick for freeing her village or
their presence. She told them that far
to the north lay city so full OF
wealth that her riches were worthless
in comparison. De Soto and his men
readily snapped at the bait. Leaving
the larger part Of their huge pearl
treasure behind, to be taken on the
return trip. they set off in haste for
the mythical treasure city.
De Soto at the last moment seems
to have suspected that the princess
story might not be true, for he sudden
" ordered her to accompany the expe-
dition as a guide. The fair young
ruler protested in vain. But she would
NOT permit her Indians to fly to arms
in her behalf. Instead, she finally con-
sented to go, leading the line OF Span
iards with such seeming Willingness
that De Soto after a day or two re-
Taxed his vigilant guard over her.
Then, one morning, as they were pass.
ing through dense jungle, Cofachiqui
slipped quickly into the underground
and vanished.
She vanishes at the same moment
from history. For no white man saw
her again. AS she was familiar with
the surrounding country, she doubtless
returned safely to her people, too wise
TO court a second experience with
civilization"
