MAKING GARDENS OF DESERT

San Francisco Chronicle: An admoni-
tion to the commercial interests of San
Francisco to place themselves in more
intimate touch with the newly re-
deemed Imperial valley in southern
California was contained in an address
delivered by w H. Holabird of Los
Angeles at the luncheon of the Com
monwealth club, in the Palace hotel
yesterday. Holabird, who is a receiv-
er for the California Development com
pany, by which the enterprise was un-
dertaken, likened the results obtained
i'll utilizing the waters of the Colorado
river to a m odern miracle.
Two hundred and fifty thousand
acres of land, nearly all of ii in one
body, has been converted and is in a
high state of cultivation. This land is
producing superior grains. fruits, veg
etables and other crops. 1t is yielding
quality of cotton excelling that raised
elsewhere in the United States and
equalling the best Egyptian staple.
Ten thousand acres are planted to cot

ton this year, and the production will
exceed bale per acre.
There are Ave prosperous towns in
the valley, with Ell Centre as the
county seat. Water power from the
diversion dam generates light and en-
ergy for many thriving Industries in
the valley. There are $4,000 dairy
cows in the valley, which supplies a
large part of the Los Angeles demand
for dairy products.
Holabird estimates that the Imperiai
valley could supply sugar beets for so
factories whose output would be worth
S24 OOO, 900 annually. new canal IS
being built that will reclaim 100000
acres in addition to that now in culti-
walton. The cost of reclaiming land
under this project has been about
S1250 an acre, and the farmers are
paying So an acre yearly for water.
Holabird urged changes in the desert
land laws reducing the acreage that
can be entered by one person from $50
acres, as at present, to 80 acres, and
prohibiting the sale of reliquishments
so az to eliminate speculation. He is
also opposed to that provision of the
present law which permits Foreigners
to file upon public land as soon as they
have obtained their first papers and
would make full citizenship a requi-
site

Great benefit has been bestowed on
Imperial valley by the decision hand
ed down yesterday afternoon by the
state railroad commission in the case
of George A. Long against the Southern
Pacific company, whereby the rates
on fresh meats and packing house pro-
ducts are greatly reduced, the fresh
meat rate being cut from GA cents to
81 cents per 100 pounds from the val
ley to Los Angeles. while the packing
house products are cut from 4s cents
tc 80 cents.
Several years ago Mr.. Long built at
Imperial a modern packing house and
large feeding yards, and since that
time he has been shipping products 10
points as far west as Cotton, beyond
which point he could not ship because
freight differentials made it impossi-
BILE to compete with the Los Angeles
packers.
The result of the decision is to open
Los Angeles and other coast markets
TO the products of the valley, instead of
making it necessary to ship valley pro-
ducts TO Los Angeles on the hoof and
kill them there.
OF course this decision has opened a
great field for the livestock raisers of
the valley, making a ready market at
an average advance price for farm pro-
ducts, but it goes further than that
OF men will be given employment at
packing houses in the valley and that
other packing houses will enter the
field
Mr.. Long has done for the valley a
great work in building up the market
he has created. but there have been
others who have seriously considered
entering the field in the valley, and
row that under this decision it is made
more economical to kill here and ship
the meat than TO ship on the hoof, it
is certain that the industry will assume
great proportions and that there will
be others to occupy the field
The situation as amended bv this
decision is wholly to the good of the
valley, and it makes more certain the
fact that one Of the great industries Of
the valley for all time is to be in the
Of

raising of feed in the valley which will
be required for the proper feeding Of
the livestock, and fortunately there is
to be so great an expansion of the irri-
grated area that it affords opportunity
for a great extension of the livestock
industry in the immediate future.
In all probability more than 100000
acres are to be added to the cultivated
most of the new land brought under
cultivation will find its first production
in barley and kaffir corn, but mean
while there is reason to expect a great
increase in demand for alfalfa, met
by the sowing of a large acreage of
alfalfa this winter
The rapid expansion of the dairy
business itself is calling for a great
increase in acreage Of alfalfa, and this
mand for livestock for fattening pur-
poses.
Barley still occupies first place in
acreage in the valley. as it is destined
to do for number of years, at least
and the coming season will probably
make of this the greatest of barley
years in the valley.
In many ways Imperial valley is ad-
vancing, but no single step has been
more helpful than that found in the
decision just handed down by the state
railroad commission.

LYRIC THEATER.

There is a diversified opinion among the audience that witnessed the illu- sion of an animated doll at the popu- lar Lyric theater, some boldly assert ing it is a clever piece of mechanism while others declare it wonderful piece of acting. They are united however, in the opinion that which ever it be. it is the cleverest turn presented here.
 Proto and company certainly have novel presentation and one that will prove attractive, owing to the possi- bility that either conception as to what it is may be correct.
 Billy Williams, as a black face comedian, is in class by himself He assumes the role of typical levee roustabout and by dialect and gestures sustains the character in a lifelike manner He has an original line of comedy which is a scream and his rollicking style of dancing is in keeping with the style of niger he presents.
 The motion pictures are new and the subjects are a powerful blend of realism and pathos. The one en- titled The Sons of the Fathers is very strong and instructive picture and is culled from Ibsen's story of that name.

THOMAS cHATTERToN.

The Photo-Play theater has receiy- ed another splendid picture for Fri day, afternoon and evening, depicting the life and death of Thomas Chat terton the English boy poet, who, un- able to secure recognition of his lit erary merit, was forced to publish his poems under another's name and hear them read in court and before royalty while another received the praise for them. The picture shows his love scenes with the kings daugh- ter, his poverty, being forced to sell his clothing to buy food, and eventu- ally his death in garret in l77O.
 The picture Is in one splendid reel and is one of the finest human inter. est themes ever shown in the city. In addition to this first run reel, there are two other strong reels to complete the splendid program.
 The has been considerable talk lately of running pictures before the release date The Chatterton reel was released on March 13, and one of the other reels shown at the Pho to-Play today was released on March 20. We ask the people of this city if they ever witnessed pictures run so near the date of the release from the makers.

An1uSementS
AT THE PRINCESS.

It has been demonstrated time and again that the weather doesn't make any difference to the crowd where the vaudeville at the Princess is con cerned, and yesterday was no excep- tion to the rule. for the matinee was largely attended, and the two shows at night had more than their full quota of persons.
 The Edward Zoeller Trio offered one of the most unique features that the Princess has seen in many days, and their interpretation of the great American game of baseball was a de- cided success. Tn connection with this they offered one of the cleyerest acrobatic specialties that one would care to look at.
 Salisbury and Benn are two delight ful entertainers and their act was most pleasing. The violin playing of the latter is a decided treat, while Miss Salisbury's vocal numbers were an immediate hit. She is a woman or charming personality and Benny, with his little fiddle, was the sensa- tion of the evening.
 Murray K Hill offers an act, a
 
 logue timely hodge-podge of vocal and verbal humor, that kept the au- dience laughing from the time he was on the stage until he left, and his act is one of the most entertaining of any single speciality the Princess has ever featured.
 Maude Muller-no relation, howev- CT. to the heroine of the poem, and Ed Stanley, not only have big bun dle of jokes, but their burlesque on Broadway grand opera was the scream of an unusually strong bill, In addition to this, the novelty act presented by the Langslows was also one of the bills big successes, the en tire five acts constituting a program of excellence that will please every one.

MAKING A FARM GATE.
Here's One That Has Been Found &
Work Very Satisfactorily.

Here's One That Has Been Found to
Work Very Satisfactorily.
We have two wagon gates through
which we must pass very often-often
dozen or more times every day-says
a correspondent of Home and Farm.
The boys live on one hill and the old
folks on the other, and between the
two places is cow pasture three-quar.
tiers of mile long. part woodland and
part cleared land
To get down and unfasten these gates
at every such passing would be great
deal Of trouble and in the run of a year
would take time enough to do lots of
other work. So 1t has been arranged to
avoid this. Both gates are hung to
open inward, so that COW, horse or
mule cannot push it open, and are
hung so they win fall shut of their own
accord. They are both light, one be-
ing made OF three by A bars, SO they
will not pound themselves to pieces.
1t is no trouble at all to pass through,
even with a led horse, and there Is

Pinfeathers.

Some good poultry men think by
feeding sitting hens in the morning
they are more apt to remain contented-
~ on their nests all day.
Roupy fowls should be separated
from the rest Of the flock and kept
where they are not likely to contami-
nate the soil or spread the disease.
There is nothing so injurious to
chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese and pi-
geons as exposure to dampness. BY
that Is not meant the occasional ex-
posure to the rain, but living continu-
ally IN damp plnces.
One cannot feed hens barely enough
to keep them alive and then expect
eggs from them. 1t, has also been
proved that some kinds Of foods will
produce more eggs than other kinds.
Supply the elements requisite to the
growing of feathers, bone or frame,
flesh, certain amount Of fat (needful
to conserve the animal heat and O
surplus to be turned into eggs.

great satisfaction in knowing that the
gate will be sure to shut itself and re-
Quire no further thought But there is
one difficulty which no doubt occurs to
the readers mind Will not the wind
blow it open and let stock into the
cornfelds? Yes, it will. And that Is
the point of this letter.
One of the gates has woodland to
protect it from such an occurrence.
Only a very severe wind from the east
win affect it in the least. Only since
a strip was cut through for telephone
line has such a thing occurred at all.
The other one. however, is easily af-
fected by a wind from the west, a
body of woodland of very dense
growth DETECTING even north wind
against It, But we have solved even
that problem with what we call a
wind latch.
s'' A piece OF inch board by II inches
is trimmed to almost a feather ut one
end. A three-eighths inch hole is bored
edgewise near the other end. A seven
inch spike is put through and driven
an inch into the post against which
the gate strikes, near the top of the
post, on the outside, 50 1t hangs down
clear OF the barb wires of which the
fence is made.
A piece of heavy wire three inches
long is driven sidewise and on the
west side, near the top Of this board,
or wing" as we call it. A ring. or
loop. Is turned in the free end, from
which a smaller wire extends down
ward to near the middle of the gate,
where it connects with the latch
proper.
This Is small rod, the size Of a six
penny nail, and 1t passes through a
three-eighths inch hole. bored down
grain through six inch board. The
west end is bent square to the north,
and the wire from the wing is connect
ed with II. The eastern end Is bent
directly downward Now, when the
wind blows hard enough to cause the
gate to open it will raise the wing.
and that will throw the eastern end Of
this rod 30 as to catch the gate.
Like nearly all our gates, this one is
swung to a tree. with the upper hinge
nine feet from the ground. The wind
often causes this tree to sway back
and forth, but this latch always
catches the gate in spite of such.
