CATERPILLAR IS
NOW ON ROAD

The big Best caterpillar engine to
be used by Floyd Brown in trans
porting freight from Blythe Junction
to the Palo Verde valley, arrived in
Blythe Junction last Sunday and was
loaded up with a fifteen ton cargo
and started out on it's maiden trip
Monday The engine, pulling the four
big trucks, was tried out to a finish
while pulling through the heavy drift
sand north of Browns well. The
results so far are very satisfying.
Freight will now begin to move
in and out of the valley more rapidly
as it is hoped the engine will assist
materially in removing the congested
freight conditions at the railroad
Brown and the Santa Fe have cut
the rates via Blythe Junction and it
is reported similar cut has been
made by the Espee, to Glamis. The
new rate from Blythe Junction to

is COLORADO VALLEY FERTILE

Two hundred and fifty acres of
alfalfa have just been cut and baled
on the Donlin Bros, ranch north of
town This crop of alfalfa, as did
the proceeding one, yielded a little
over two tons per acre, or about
100 tons of alfalfa from the two cut
tings from $50 acre tract
1t required about weeks time to
grow these two crops and care for
them. The LOO tons of hay at the
present selling price of $11.OO per ton
is worth $12,1OO00 or nearly SAT 90
per acre, or a gross income of nearly
$1.0O per day for each and every acre
of the land, so planted.
We cut from to crops OF alfalfa
each season so you can figure it out
on that basis.
In addition to the $50 acres of al
falfa on the Donlin ranch, 40 acres
that was planted to oats and barley,
harvested over 100 tons Of hay worth
more than $1,1OO.0O or a valuation
of more than $25.00 per acre for the
crop.
Donlin Bros. have a fine ranch of
640 acres, 800 of which is in a splen-
did\ state of cultivation. On the
randh herd of 76 head of fine diary
cows are kept as we'll as the neces-
sary harm stock. A power cream sep
aratoA is to be installed and the fresh
prOdu$ will be delivered to the
BlytheNcreamery within few hours
after bling MIXED from the COWS.

Of our Il Srger ranches. Here is what
a man is accomplishing on smaller
scale.
Bert T,dd, who owns a ten acre
tract of land IA mile north of town,
has in five acres of alfalfa. After
feeding fiv. head of horses and one
COW from %he hay grown on the
tract, Todd has a surplus that he
sells for from $500 to $4,000 each
cutting; Todl paid $125.O0 an acre
for his land. At the present rate,
i'll addition to feeding the six lead
Of stock, he could pay for his land
out of the surplus of his crop in
something like two years.
There are dozens of similar exam
pies here in the Palo Verde valley

show that we live n much favored
locality, where good soil, water and
sunshine are all combined to make

KELSEY TAKES CHARGE.

road bonus fund in charge, met
last week and perfected a

Mr. Kelsey was selected to take
charge of the active field work and
is planning to put a number of
assistants in the field and push the
work with vigor, to secure the desir-
ed amount of 100000 bonus for a
railroad into the valley
While Mr. Kelsey is a hustler,
yet it is up to the people to- sign up
for the desired amount:
Both the committee and Mr. Kelsey
are powerless without the assistance
Of the people who are interested in
the valley. If you have not already
signed up for your part do so with
out delay and thereby help yourself
as we'll as your neighbors
1t is a square. fair business pro
position, no more. no less. TO get
a railroad into the valley means in
creased prices on your lands and pro-
ducts. 1t means at least one cent a
pound on everything you buy or sell
It is no free gift enterprise but a
pure cold blooIad business proposit-
ion. And that will take "a long strong
pull, and all together. to reach the
coveted goal

them into great drifts of sand. After
working hard for hours to get

twenty miles from any habitation.
With larger portion of the water
left on hand Miller started out in
quest of help. leaving Young at the
machine.

was to a ranch house, but started out
owards the river. He travelled from
