Lack Of Rain Serious

FRESNO. Jan. 3.-Nurserymen in
the San Joaquin valley and particularly
in Fresno county are clamoring for
rain. The scarcity Of rain, which up to
a short time ago was regarded with in

wet season would set in soon, has be

has taken a sudden slump because of

VALLEY FILLING UP RAPIDLY
BUT PEOPLE ARE SOON LOST

The way people are pouring into the
valley these days is a caution. But
who can tell what becomes of them?
Every train brings in a load, and it is
evident from the constant cry for
houses that the people are becoming
permanent factors in the community.
And yet the fact remains that it is
difficult to tell where these people
are being attached to the general af-
fairs Of the valley.
1t is not the time of year for the
greatest activity in real estate affairs,
but sales are being made in consider
able number. Most people who go to
a strange country remain for several
months before making purchases, and
generally spring is the time Of greatest
activity. which will probably be the
case this year.
Imperial Valley press., 1913-01-03
NORTH WIND STILL INJURIES
FIELD CROPS ON THE COAST

Repeatedly this winter north winds
Of unusual severity have prevailed on
the coast, banishing all immediate
prospects for rain and at the same time
drawing from the ground and vegeta-
ton the scant moisture that remained.
This was repeated again last night,
when very severe winds prevailed and
the prospect for rain was again ban
ished. So great was the wind that the
sand piled up on the Southern Pacific
track to the extent that it delayed
trains three or four hours, the valley
train not arriving here until 1890.
Reports continue to come from
authentic sources that a great portion
OF the state is suffering for lack OF
rain, and the prospect for grain and
feed is growing more remote daily.
II it were not for the fact that A
similar experience last year led to the
shipment OF large numbers Of cattle,
there would already be suffering among
livestock, and even the few remaining
on the coast will soon be short Of feed,
il they are not so now in certain 10
calities.
The condition that exists is not un-
known to the history Of the state, from
the earliest history the records show
ing alternating eras Of scant rainfall
and others of abundance, and with each
recurring period of drought there has
been great suffering and loss among
Imperial Valley press., 1913-01-03

livestock. At such times there may BE-
a series Of years in succession Of scant
rainfall.
When these periods come. they test
anew each section Of the state, demon
strating the water supply and leading to
further efforts to develop water for
irrigation.
But when long period Of abundant
rainfall comes, the drought is forgot
ten by many people and the newcomers,
not knowing Of it, venture upon land
that is avoided by the old timers, and
they remain until new period Of trial
comes.
1t is such experiences as this that
has forced southern California to he
ro'c Efforts N the development Of its
resources, and because Of previous ex-
periences, the land is better fortified
with water than ever before.
So far as the great fruit interests OF
southern California are concerned, they
will probably not suffer from the
drought that prevails for the time be-
ing. but grain and pasture will be az
fected where there is not an abundance
Of water.
The reclamation Of Imperial valley
with its bountiful supply Of water in
the river, has given to southern Cali
fornia protection against serious feed
shortage. and the demand that will
come on this valley will again tax its
resources to the utmost.

Col. Fletcher On Road

Col. Ed Fletcher gives the following
statement on the highway in the san
Diego Union annual number:
1t has been great fight to secure
the state highway from san Diego &c
Ell CentrO. Los Angeles wanted it tc
so via Riverside and lndio, cutting Us
out entirely. san Diego citizens Were
awake, however. and built &c miles o!
road to the east line Of San Diego coun-
ty. over a mountain range as a Sten
in the right direction. But we went
further than that. The citizens Of san
Diego raised $50. 600 more and are now
building approximately 10 miles of
roads in Imperial county as a dOna-
tion and to assure the citizens of that
county of our desire for q closer con-
nectiOn in business and friendship. I'M
perial county already did its part in
helping along the good work. with the
result that we secured the state high =

raise many millions more and to have

against us. Different reports indicate
that an attempt is being made to bring
the ocean-tO-Ocean highway via Tono-
pah and Salt Lake: also via Needles
and northern Arizona. The adoption of
either route would leave San Diego off

Negotiations Broken on
[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS

| LONDON, Jan. 3.-It is reported
| from authentic sources that the Bal.
kan ENJOYS will demand a favorable
answer within 81 hours for the Turks
to surrender Adrianople. If unfavOra-
BILE negotiations will automatically sus-
pend and fighting will be resumed.
LONDON, Jan. 3.-The peace nego-
tiat'Ons between the Balkan and the
Turkish ENJOYS will be broken off, ac-
cOrdng to DR.. S. Daneff. the chief Of
The Bulgarian delegation, unless the
map which the Turkish delegation is
now preparing showing the proposed
boundary between Bulgaria and Tur-
key, should prove to be in accordance
with the terms laid down by the allies.
DR.. Daneff, in the course Of an in
terview said: 1.-The position of affairs
has not changed so much for the bet =
ter as people seem to imagine. 1t must
be borne in mind that from the begin
ming Turkey has always said she would
make certain cessionS in Macedonia and
Eplrus and in part of the province of
Thrace. There remains the question
of Adrianople.
This is one of the most vital points
in the negotiations. If we find that the
Turkish map is not in accordance with
the terms offered by the allies and is
unsatisfactory to use, the negotiations
will be broken off.
"The second difficulty is in connec-
lion with the matter of the islands of
the Aegean sea. There again we will
insist upon our terms.
In TACT, there is no ground for the
impression in some quarters that we
nave the intention of modifying our
terms as regards Turkey. Whatever
we may do afterward is not connected
with our negotiations with Turkey.
I'VE are ready to acknowledge that
some progress was made yesterday.
but it is necessary to bear in mind
That the essential points before the
conference have not been settled. Let
rs hope they will he at today's meet
ing"
Rechad PaSha, the leader Of the
Turkish plenipotentiaries, was equally
emphatic on the question Of Adriano-
pie. In the course Of an interview he
sad:
I'VE have ceded Macedonia in a
spirit OF cancellation and with a great
desire to AVOID a renewal of the war.
On two questions, however, we will
not yield. We will give up neither
AdrianOple nor the islands in the
Aegean sea-"
The question of the Aegean sea
islands is expected to be more easily
arranged than that OF the ultimate fate
of the former capital of the Turkish
empire; the. Aegeans. it is thought,
may eventually be divided among the
1isputants.
In any case, the danger Of a resump-
llon OF hostilities is regarded as elm
mated and the utterance Of threats of
renewal of the war by various dele
gates may be taken as merely the play
ing Of cards in the diplomatic game.
Rechad Pasha and the other Turk
sh delegates now declare that Turkey
Yielded To the allies four fifths of
what she originally claimed, thus go
ing fromothe maximum of her expec
Iations to minimum. which was alb
irre0ucible.
