Will be Lou Weston Beck, former
prospector, but now philanthropist,
who has dedicated his life to the
chartering and posting of the in
definite trails which traverse the
great inter-mountain region, and the
indication to travellers, by plain and
effective means, of the posts where
water may be obtained.
Mr.. Beck's mission has been made
possible by wealthy and generous
citizens of Pasadena. acquainted with
his work, who have subscribed the
necessary funds to purchase the car.
Mr.. Beck has christened it the
"Chuckwalla Flanders 20" in
honor of the famous bloated lizard
which is the only creature able to
live in many parts of the terrible
waste.
An annual tribute of 25 victims
is, 1t is estimated, exacted each year
by the grim region which lies be-
tween the Rockies and the Coast
Range. Practically all of these are

his work until the entire desert is
as well chartered as a main travelled
highway. In the completion of his
task he is trying to enlist the SER
vices of the United States govern
ment. which. by installing large
signs on buttes and mountain tops
could fulfil a purpose very similar
to that performed by the lighthouse
and life-saving departments on the
coasts and great lakes.
In his work Mr.. Beck will be

finds himself signing for the heat,

along at the rate of 100 or more

COTTON GROWERS PLANNING TO
GROW LONG STAPLE VARIETIES
WHICH BRING $40 TO $40 MORE

BLYTHE, Cal, December 80
Floyd Brown. while in Blythe last
week, announced that the new freight
rates of the planked and oiled road
Santa Fee agent at Blythe Junction,
would go into effect January L. He
stated that the new schedule is al
ready arranged and would be pub
lished before the first of the month
Arrangements have been completed
for building a freight and ticket office
in Blythe This terminal building
will be constructed at the Brown
lumber yard. R. w. Phillips, the
Santa Fe agent at Blythe Junction
is to have charge of the freight and
passenger business at this terminal.
The Motor Truck line has recently
incorporated as the Santa Fe-Blythe
Motor Transit company and plans
have been made for the addition of
other trucks as the business will war
rant. The passenger truck which
was brought through from Phoenix
is to be replaced by another six-ton
Saurer similar to the present one
and the passenger business will be
handled by two new Ford cars which
Mr.. Brown says have already been
ordered. After thorough test it
was decided that the Mack truck
was too slow for the service
The Saurer truck is running day
and night now getting out the cotton
which has been ginned The truck
makes the trip out to the Junction
in the daytime and comes back at
night. The big machine hauls half
a car load at trip and has double
deck platform which makes it pos
Sible to haul load of hogs and cot
ton at the same trip.
To Grow New Variety.
Long staple varieties of cotton are
to be grown extensively in the Palo
Verde Valley next year if the local
growers are successful in securing
the seed which they are seeking.

RADIO river valleys and as this cotton
is worth from $40 to $40 a bale more
than the short staple, it seems like
ly to form an important part of the
crop within the next few years.
NJ F.. Shouse, manager of the De-
velopment company ranch, has or
dered 100 pounds of a long staple
variety Arthur Butts, Fred Springer
and B. E. Hoch are among the other
local farmers who expect to plant
the new varieties.
The price received for the long
staple cottons runs from II to p cts.
per pound and averages about so per
cent better than for short staple va
ricties This high price is largely
due to the fact that very little Of
the cotton raising soil in the United
States is adapted to it. At the
present time a large part of the sup
ply comes from Red River county in
Texas. Imperial valley growers have
proved that the sandy soils of the
Colorado river valleys grows an ex-
cellent grade of long staple
While local growers have not tried
the ong fiber cotton, they figure
that the similarity of this soil to
that of the Imperial valley will make
the crop successful here.
r. L. Estes, the local gin mama
ger, who has had some experience
with Aliens Improved long staple,
referred to the matter as follows.
From all of my observations |
am certain that Palo Verde soil will
raise the long staple cottons success
fully and the additional price receiv-
ed for them will make it we'll worth
while for local ranchers to make the
change l would not advise them to
plant the new varieties entirely the
first year Rather, they should give
them a good test season and if they
do we'll as | believe they will they
will Rave the seed to plant them en-
tirely the following year.
'Some ranchers have asked me
whether the long staple cotton could
be ginned with this machinery. 1t
can successfully, by running the gin
little slower 1t is not like Egypt
ian cotton which requires a different
gin entirely Long staple cottons
grown on the proper soil yield more
than short fiber varieties. The best
yield have known was by Coach
ella valley rancher who got 4,300
pounds of cotton to an acre. be-
lieve you can do even better than
that here in this valley.
"Palo Verde valley has the finest
cotton conditions, both soil and
climate, | have seen and | believe
there is a great future for this coun-
try in the cotton industry 1t will pay
the local growers to give much atten-
ton to seed and varieties and keep

CANAL BILL AMENDED

WASHINGTON, August 1.-The
house and senate conferees reached
an agreement tonight on the Panama
canal bill. finally eliminating the SER
ate amendment to extend free tolls to
American ships enga sed in the foreign
trade The extension of free tolls to
this class of vessels probably would
have pSeci,itated international COM
plieations and would have reinforced
the protest of Great Britain. Under
the conference agreement ships en-
gagged in the coastwise trade of the
United States have free use of the
canal.
Section IL. divorcing railroads from
competing steamship lines and closing
the canal to trust-owned vessels of all
kinds, was rewritten, but is in sub
