Arrangements were made this week for enIarging the irrigation system and the devel- opment Of the maximum amount of water necessary for the entire ranch of 4640 acres and contracts were made Yesterday with F. w Bigham for the immediate sinking of more wells in the neighborhood of the present plant.

 Irvine Agency

The J. l.. Irwin real estate office last week did not fall down on ite regular custom of each week selling close in property of big dimensions This week he closed a deal where by he sold for L. w. Coggins the block of ten lots on West Washing ton west of Sixth avenue ana south of Washington street.
 This was sold to Sid Henry Harry Kay. D A. DonofriO, II. w. Berry man and Joseph Cope, and the con sideration was $36,00000. Mr. Cog gins purchased this property about four years ago, paying for it $10,O00- Since that time he has spent about 5000. on sidewalks and street pave ments. so it is readily seen that his profit approximates $2O,000 for his four years holding.
 The new owners are convinced. however that they have made good buy and real estate circles admit that the present purchasers are due to make as much money in the same length of time as did MT Coggins.

Call on President, and Then
Organize For Work of Prob

Initial steps in their work, which will
cover as broad a field as any ever under.

day by the nine members of the Indus
trial Commission recently appointed BY
the President to investigate labor condI-
ions in every section OF this country,
including causes for dissatisfaction
among wage-earners and the smuggling
OF Asiatics into the United States in
violation of the immigration laws.
When the commissioners met at the
New Willard this morning several of
them were strangers to each other.
Their first act was to call on President
Wilson. Immediately after returning
they were called to order by Chairman
Frank p Walsh and were addressed
briefly by Samuel Gompers and. Frank
Morrison, president and secretary of, the
American Federation OF Labor, and
Julius Il. Cohen, of New York city.
The members of the commission are
Mr.. Walsh, Of st. Louis, chairman;
Prof. john r. Commons, of Wisconsin,
temporary secretary; Mrs. ]. Warden

louisville, KY; John b. Lennon, or
Illinois, James O'Connell, of Washing
ton, and Austin B. Garrettson, of Iowa.
The organized labor members of the
commission are Mr.. O'Connell and Mr..
Lennon, respectively vice president and
treasurer of the American Federation
of Labor, and Mr.. Garreson, president
of the Order of Railway Conductors.
This afternoon the commission is sit
ting in executive session. Chairman
Walsh said that he believed they could
