H. L. Sullivan is planning to make
a trip down the river to Blythe in
the motorboat Arizona, on the Fourth

make preliminary arrangements for
hauling freight up to Parker landing

The Mohave Indians on the reser-
walton at Parker have about 900
acres in cultivation this year accord

eminent employee at the agency.

Pasadena He expects to spend
couple of weeks on the coast and
then go to Kansas to visit at his

months Mr. Dunn stated before
leaving that he would probably
remain on the coast during the com

opening occurred before that time.
The Colorado river is rapidly re-
ceding and all danger from high wa

The high water mark this season did
not come within two feet of the point
it reached last year. Most of the
irrigation projects up and down the
river were much better prepared to
withstand the flood so that no dam

GAVE UP RICHES FOR LOVE
German Prince Sacrificed Career and
Estates for the Sake of the
Woman He Loved.

1t was with a proud spirit of self
sacrifice that Prince Eberwyn zu Ben
theim-Steinfurt, cousin of the queen
of Holland, gave his hand short time
ago in the London registry office to
Fraulein Lanfenfeld, the daughter Of a
tradesman who had begun life as a
peasant. The German emperor him
self had in vain tried to dissuade him
from such a mad step" He turned a
deaf ear to all the threats and en-
treaties of his family and formally re-
nounced his heirship to $1,250,000 a
year to his younger brother, Prince
Victor. And when. he had thus con-
demned himself to poverty and OBJ
security, he declared, L need not say
that | am more than happy. AS long
as l live, | shall rejoice that l had the
firmness to place my happiness and
that Of my bride above the medieval
prejudices of my house"
When Prince Eberwyn was thus
gladly sacrificing rank and riches for
love, Count Hans Won Hochberg, heir
to the Duchy of Rohnstock, was stand
ing at an altar in New York state
with Fraulein Louise Carow German
shop girl, for whose sake he had aban.
doned his claim to the family estate
and dignities. Il am going to earn my
living as a chauffeur" this young
hero of romance said; "and l know
that l shall be happier sharing poor
home with the woman love than if
were Duke of Rohnstock with $780,
900 a year but without her"
Such romances of today could be
multiplied almost indetinitely-from
the love adventures of the Archduke
Leopold of Austria to the nephew of
the emperor, who was content to be a
royal outcast for the sake of Fraulein
Ritter, farmers daughter and domestic
servant, to the Prince de Broglie, who
not long ago was conducting an or.
chestra in New York theater, while
the wife for whom he had sacrificed
everything but happiness-the great
est thing of all-was singing on the
stage.

GRAIN FIELDS BURN.

Ell CENTRIC, June 81. Fire,
famed by a stiff western breeze,
swept through the heart of the
growing grain belt of Imperial Valley
last night, moving down hundreds of
tons of growing barley and leaving in
its wake nearly thousand acres Of
charred feed, the loss of which is es
timated at nearly $4,000.
Three score men valiently fought
the flames, in an unsuccessful at
tempt to keep the fire within the
boundary of the big canals on four
sides of the fire zone A dense pail
of black smoke hung over the entire
valley, and in Ell Centre the electric
lights were hardly discernable. The
fire started on the Lyal Brothers
ranch of 500 acres, at keystone Sta
LODI, seven lHlleS uOIJH6dSU vi Iiii-
periai,, shortly after 5 O'Clock. The
origin has--heen assigned to incen
diarism, the work OF tramps who
were refused work on the Lyal ranch
earlier in the day.
Shortly after the fire was discov-
cred it became apparent to the own
ers that it could not be controlled
without outside aid, and telephone
messages to Imperial and Brawley
for help brought out the fire-fighting
apparatus from both these towns, but
the aid furnished by the engines was
fruitless as the chemicals were soon
exhausted and the fire gained
steadily.

LABOR UNIONS EXEMPT.

WASHINGTON, June %. = The
president signed the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill today with the state
mant that he would have vetoed it
# he could the provision in it eXemp-
ting labor unions and farmers organi-
cations from prosecution under a
certain 100000 fund designated for
the operation of the Sherman anti
trust law
The president characterized the eX-
emption as "unjustifiable in charac-
ter and in principle" but called at
tention to the fact that the depart
ment Of justice possessed other funds
with which to enforce the antitrust
law. The urgent need of the various
government departments for funds
appropriated by the bill influenced
the president to speedy action on the
measure.
The bill carries a hundred and six
teen millions in appropriation and
was vetoed by President Taft on
March 4 because of the labor exemp-
ton clause. When the bill was rein
troduced as it was passed by both
houses, in identical form, by the pres
ent congress this provision was the
subject of sharp debate

sugar schedule as reported by the
majority members of the finance

AS to Drowsiness in Church.

The discovery has been made by a
western art professor that drowsiness
in church is due not SO much to the
sermon as to a clashing color scheme
person listen to an address when the
decorations Of the church are inharm-
onious? When the curtains are pink,
the cushions red and the decorations
are yellow and blue the emotions of
the audience are affected and they be,
come drowsy." Yet pale pastel hue
in the pulpit doubtless has a somno'
lent effect on the congregation.

OLD STAGE LINE RAN NEAR
BLYTHE.

But few people remember or are
even aware of the fact, that the old
Butterfield Stage line, that. carried
the first mail and passengers over
land, from the states to the Califor-
MIA gold diggings, came by the way
of Ehrenberg, crossing the river
somewhere near where Blythe now
stands There are but few living who
could point out the place where the
stages and contents were ferried a.
cross the Colorado river
. In the river bottom the old trail
is entirely obliterated but out on
the desert it can be followed with
ease. 1t is now for the most part
the present road from Blythe t) Nee
ca. The person who was born when
the first stage crossed the Colorado
river at Gutenberg would n,w be
sixty years old-ten years before
Blythe came to the valley and fifty
seven years before Blythe CITY was
founded. This data should ii be
gathered and presented for future
history 1t would form the romance
to a wonderful climax Of reclining
desert and Transforming it ITO one
of the most verdict spots on arth-
the rich Palo Verde valley.

No Easy Task to
Win Davis Trophy

II must be confessed that the lawn
tennis team of this country which will
go to England in quest Of the Davis
cup is called upon TO face difficult
task.
1t must leave here in time to COM
plete the first round by June 21st,
rather early to insure the neces-
sary amount OF practice; it must meet
in the first round the representatives
OF Australia, who successfully defend
ed the cup for several years; IL vic
tory comes over such a strong foe it
must then met the winner of the
match between Germany and France
and dispose of another worthy oppo-
nent before coming up to the chal-
lenge match with England, the pres
ent holder of the trophy, on July 25th.
The Australian team, however, will
suffer under an even greater handi-
cap, as some of the members at least
have much further to so to reach the
scene of the struggle, Moreover, the
dashing Norman +. Brooks VIII stay
at home.
II must not he forgotten. either, that
the credit will be greater If the cup Is
returned to this country than If the
American players were on the easy
side of the draw. Anyway, here's hop
Ing. That cup is needed and wanted
in this country after a laspe of sew
eral years II may he recalled that
Australia has never been beaten by
the United States in competition for
the trophy.
