LAND QUICKLY IMPROVE

ID. V. Bangle left for Eel Monte last
Saturday. Mr. Bangle has only been

town and moved out onto the same

it was in wild desert state, rich
fertile tract, but not a foot of it was
in cultivation. Since June Is, Bang e
has cleared off the entire eighty acr-

sixty acres planted to crop. In addit-

substantial buildings and other i'm

piece of land and were admiring it

CORRECTS ERROR.

paper showed a ready willingness to
correct the error in a neat little
editorial notice. Would that other Los

it of fairness:
In the issue OF July II mention was
made OF the cotton crop of California
this year. In the short story it was
said that the IA 90 acres planted to
cotton in the State this year was all
in the Imperial Valley. The mention
OF Imperial Valley alone was an III

(Palo Verde Valley Herald)

In the month of November, 1912,
w. S. Wilkinson and his son-in-law,
S. z. Hanlin, moved onto a wild des.
ert tract Of land four miles southwes
OF Blythe The tract comprises one
hundred and sixty acres. 1t was
grown up to thick mesquite and

particular piece OF land is one OF the
best improved and most beautiful.
reyenue-producing ranches in the val
ley, showing what energy, and pluck
will do here coupled with our rich
soil and ideal climatic conditions.
Last spring Messrs Wilkinson and
Hanlin sowed sixty-five acres to
barley and harvested fine crop
that Is now in the stack awaiting the
thresher. AS soon as this barley was
cut the land was planted to corn that
now promises a big yield. thus Sc
curing two crops OF first class feed
from the land the same season.
Sixty acres was sOwn to alfalfa last
spring and from this they will cut
at least four hundred tons of hay.
They have been selling this hay in
the field. without the expense OF
even stacking it, at ten dollars pei
ton. This crop will bring them il
at least four thousand dollars from
the sixty acres of alfalfa at the first
years cutting.
In addition to the above Messrs
thirty-five acres of Durango cottOf
that promises to be bumper yield
and should net them at least fifty
dollars pc. acre.
When these gentlemen moved OF
to this land eighteen months ago
they had 10 grub out the brush anG

plant any crops. They did most Of
this with their own labor When the
land was feared, 1t had &c be level

This is only one OF the dozens OF
such instances that we can mention
where farmers have come here to the
Palo Verde valley and with a small
amount of capital mixed with little
enterprise, have in remarkably
short time placed themselves in com
Portable circumstances
Rich soil, perfect climate for the
growing of crops and plenty of cheap

International Commission
Will Adjust American
Losses From Rebellion.
CLAIM IS $5oo,ooo,ooo
Original Value, Depreciation and Its
----.- Present Value to BE Con.
sidered.
CLAIM IS $5oo,ooo,ooo

-
Washington, Aug. 30.-Mexico will
have to settle to the last cent millions
OF dollars damage done properly owned
by Americans in the southern republic
when the reign of rebellion began
three years ago ends. During the
present lull in the negotiations be-
tween the United States and the Huer-
ia government, the State Department
is turning it's attention to the i'm
mense Indebtedness that Huerta is pill
ing up to be settled by his successors
An international commission would
ascertain this indebtedness, it was ue-
finitely stated to the International
News Service today.
Officials Of the State Department
said today that by reason of the Ma
dero rebellion and the present dis
tufbance, Americans already had sus-
tanned a loss of $5O0.OOO,00O.
The international commission will
be charge with ascertaining:
First-The original value of the
property.
Second-Its depreciation.
Third-What would have been it's
present value.
The same officials say that fair
International commission in determin-
ing claim would take the three items
at their full value for the reason that
both Madero and Huerta were given
full opportunity to make some move
for the arrest of depreciation by the
restoration of peace in the country.
There is now a so-called commission
sitting in Mexico City, but it is COM
posed entirely of Mexican officials and
they say it is making the minimum
progress; in other words, that very
few claims have reached the stage of
settlement and settlement except on
promissory note appears to be now
an impossibility with the Huerta gov
eminent.
The commission which the State De-
partment has in mind would, however,
be composed of Mexican and Ameri-
can officials and it's decision would
be final, because both the Congress
in Mexico and the Congress Of the
United States would give it power to
act.
