SCARCITY OF LAND FOR
RENTAL NOW APPARENT

Fo1' the first time in the history
OF the valley much difficulty is being
experienced in finding land for rental.
Alfalfa land is being rented for cash
as high as Sl5 an acre, an increase of
so per cent over previous years, and
there is great scarcity at this price.
There is also considerable demand for
land on which it is proposed to grow
corn during the summer, and it looks
as though every available acre would
be utilized this year in growing some
sort of crop.
Another feature that shows the
trend of affairs is the seeding to al
falfa this season of a considerable
acreage, with the result of greatly in
creasing available hay during the COM
ing summer.
The search for rental land is having
the effect Of increasing the rate of de-
velopment on the frontier of the val
ley Heretofore there have been sec
tions rather remotely situated where
some difficulty was experienced in get
ting tenants, but the latter are now
taking everything available, and com
pactness OF cultivation will be appar-
ent this year not before experienced.

CONTINUOUS COLD WIND
THROUGHOUT SOUTHWEST

The entire Southwest is experience
ing a remarkable period of cold wind,
which is proving highly disagreeable.
Los Angeles and other coast cities
have suffered considerable damage
from this cause
In this valley the winds have not
been severe enough to do damage, uu-
less to the small acreage of canta-
loupe vines just appearing above
ground. In this case it would illus
trate anew that nothing is gained by
planting too early.
The winds may have been cool
enough to check the growth of alfalfa
and barley for two or three days but
the abundance of feed makes this of
little Importance.
The wind has done nothing more
serious than to wreck the temper of
a portion of the population and set a
good many nerves at an unpleasant
tangent to affairs in general.
The wind on the coast has tended
to- destroy the last particle of life in
grain and range grass, sapping it of
the scant moisture and rendering
more complete the drought that ex-
listed.

Here goes for the Personal EXpe-
rience and Prosperity Edition" OF the
Press. 1t is intended to make of this
the great eye-opener of the resources
of Imperial valley, telling of many in
dividual cases of great successes
achieved here and presenting the story
Of Prosperity in the aggregate.
1t is the first step in the great cam
paign of publicity inaugurated by the
Press with d view to compelling the
outside world to give heed TO our re-
sources.
The time is now at hand for the peo-
pie OF Imperial valley to do great work
in this line, and they naturally look
10 their leading newspaper to take the
initiative.
If the people of this valley will give
due support to this campaign, now but
just begun, there will be added, in one
year, from ten millions to twenty mil
lions to valley real estate values.
The exact date for this great issue
of the Press has not been decided on.
The preparatory work is so big task
that the date cannot now be fixed, but
it will be within from four to six
weeks and will be particularly de-
signed to help make the coming spring
and summer the greatest period of col
onization in the history of the valley.

causing a large number of dairy cows,

extent is this work going on that it
seems certain the number of dairy

WILSON ORR
SHOT TO DEATH
Seven Shots Fired at Him
and Every Shot took Eff
feet.
Dies Almost Instantly and
Without a Struggle.

Last Saturday the first tragedy
took place in Kenna that has
ever occurred in the town, and
Wilson Orr one Of the oldest
citizens was the victim. His
son, Walter Orr, lad only a.
bout Is years old, had been ar
rested, charged with a petty
offense, and the case was to be
heard in Justice Cooper's court,
which was held in the hall a.
bove the bank. About twenty
five citizens were present. Mr..
Orr, Senior, appearing for his
boy, asked for "a change of venue.
His application was denied, ard
he became enraged and used
such violent and abusive Ian
guage that the Justice imposed
fine ana ordered the constable,
@. e. Woodbridge, to proceed at
once to collect it. At this Orr
became insanely mad and at
tackled Justice Cooper, Striking
him and knocking him out of
his chasr, and violently 70 ow-
ing up the attack. AT this time
a revolver shot rang out, follow
ed in quick succession by six
others fired SO rapidly that they
evidently came frcm an auto
matte gun. Every shot took
effect, and one of them also
struck Justice Cooper Oh the
side of the head, cutting quite a
cash but not making Il serious
wound. Orr never spoke after
the first shot was fired, but
slowly began to droop and sank
to the floor, evidently stone dead.
One shot had entered his open
mouth, coming out at the back
of the neck, another passed
through his side, and the rest
centered about the breast, both
lungs having been penetrated
When the trouble fist began
quite number of those present
ran out of the hail. aud the ex-
citement was so great that none
of those who remained seems to
have located surely the person
or persons who did the shooting.
Hysell and Boyd Smith have
been arrested charged with the
crime, but the ares appears TO
have been made chiefly upon
circumstantial evidence, based
upon past troubles between
the deceased and the accused.
The Smith boys have a splen-
did reputation here, and have
always been looked upon as
quiet, law abiding citizens, and
everyone in this community is
hoping they may come clear Of
the charge of murder, as, even
