GREAT CaNTALoUPE ACREAGE
PLANNED FOR THIS SEASON
Shippers Feel Rather Anxious Over
the Outlook, Though Encouraged by
the Shortage of Citrus Fruits to Be
Marketed

In acreage, at least, this will be one
OF the greatest cantaIoupe seasons in
the history of the valley. Those who
are keeping tab on things report that
there is now in sight an acreage of
$500 to be planted, and it usually zap
pens that the actual acreage exceeds
that which il announced.
With this great acreage OF canta-
loupes in sight, the shippers are some
what anxious over the outcome, though
there are features Of the situation
which are favorable. The two. vari-
cites OF fruit which come into closest
competition with cantalOupes in the
markets are oranges AMI the peaches
OF Georgia. The orange crop being
practically wiped out, there would ma
turally be bigger demand for canta-
loupeS. 1t has been reported that a
great part of the East recently expert
enced uDSeaSOnably warm wearther.
which brought fruit trees into bloom,
and it is believed this was the case in
Georgia, in common with other east
ern and southern states, and that the
colder weather now being experienced
is certain to reduce the peach crop of
that state.
Should it 'happen that the East is
barren Of competing fruits during the
cantaloupe season, it might still be
that the demand would be great for
even the large quantity OF melons
which the valley will have to ship.

TWO NEW cRRTERS SPLIT
SIDES OF MOUNT coLIME

GUADALAJARA. Feb. 3.-With
earth trcmhlings which We're felt for
many miles around the base Of Mount
Golima, there burst from its crater
two weeks a-o one Of the most violent
eruptions Of fire, ashes ana lava in It's
cvcntful history. The eruption is in
creasin@ in intensity and volume. Thou
sands Of people within the danger zone
have lied To places Of safety. Hun
dredS Of them poured into GuadaIajara
during The first few days Of the erup-
ton and other hundreds took refuge in
ManZanilIo and other towns outside the
range Of the showers.
The present eruption is character
lied by the opening Of two new craters
ON the eastern slope Just below the
| fiat summit. 1t was in 1903 that the
apex Of the mountain was blown off
and two new craters We're opened on
The. western slope. The lava poured
through these openings and flowed to
Imperial Valley press., 1913-02-03
the base Of the mountain through deep

the base Of the mountain through deer
barranoas
Close up to the base Of the noun
tain on the eastern slope are the towns
broken stretch of cultivated country
with many small communities.
Up to this time, the wind has been
favorable and has carried the smoke
and gases to the south and out to sea
Ashes have fallen over a great scope
of territory and in some places are
more than two feet deep.
Z The altitude of the upper crater OF
Mount Colima is 1880 feet. The 9TH
er two craters on the east are about
400 feet below.
eruptions Of Mount COlima, together
with the recent severe and protracted
earthquakes at Guadalajara, are said
to pOrtend the beginning OF activity
Of other volcanoes which have long
been dormant. 1t is predicted that PO-
pOcatepetl, which has not had an erup-
lion in a hundred years, and lXtacci-
huatl will awaken from their long slcel
within the next few years. Should
they do so the destruction Of the City
Of Mexico is in the line of pOssibili-
ties.
Another volcano that is showing
signs of activity is JoruilO, 1880 feet
high According to tradition Jorullo
rose out Of the earth in a night and
was for many years an active volcano.
1t had its last eruption in 1860.
Other former active volcanoes in a
line parallel with the axis OF the Sierra
Madre, and including Mount Colima,
are Tancitaro and TascO. The San An
dres group of volcanoes has also re-
Gently given evidence Of renewed activ-
ity. Their craters are filled with boil
ino water.
The eruptions of Mount Colima were
rare during the eighteenth century, but
beginning in 1869 they have become
more and more frequent. One Of the
most violent Of its discharges took
place in 1885, when clouds of ashes
from il We're borne by the wind aS
far northeast as San Luis Potosi, $50
miles.
Situated adjacent to the main vol
Canic peak are several lateral cones
which are known as the "sons Of CO.
lima" One Of these is CebOrucO peak.
400 feet high, which has not ceased
to emit gases and igneOus vapors since
1870.
No more awe inspiring spectacle IS
to be witnessed anywhere than the
nightly display of Mount COlima. Ris-
ing from the craters brilliantly red fire
hlaZcs intermittentlyl hundreds of feel
into the air, lighting up the country
for ffffv miles around in fact the glare
may be seen 100 miles. Accompany
ing each discharge Of fire and lava are
terrific subterranean detOnatlons and

tast-Minute Coup

LONDON. Feb. 3.-SOmething may
happen at the last moment to prevent

In well informed diplomatic quarters

prevent the resumption of hOstilities
But their success is doubtful.
One Constantnople correspondent
places the number of Turkish troops al

peninsula at 10000, in Constantinople
at $4,000 and facing Constantinople on

SAN DIEGO WATER BONDS ARE
TURNED OVER TO SPRECKLES
This Is Expected to Expedite Resump-
tion Of Work on the Construction Of
the San Diego and Arizona Railroad

Some weeks since the city Of San
Diego issued bonds in the sum of two
and half million dollars for the pur-
chase OF the Southern California Wa
ter Company system OF John ID. Spreck-
les. it being the general understanding
that this deal would assist in the fl
nancing Of the construction of the San
Diego and Arizona railroad.
The transfer Of the bonds to Mr.
Spreckles took place Saturday in San
Diego, and there is hope that this
means that work will now be resumed
very quickly on the building of the
railroad.
1t has been announced that the
building of the road would be re-
Sumed about February 1, and the stu
alton will be watched very closely to
see any developments in the next few

Owing to the Exceptionally Heavy

This Year

There will be no volunteering of cot
ton this year in Imperial valley, owing
to the severity Of the frosts which have
prevailed during the winter 1t is pos
sibIe that a good many Of the plants
would come forward under irrigation as
usual, but the growers do not believe
they can secure a full stand, and con
sequently will reseed the entire acre
age.
There are very few localities where
the crop can be volunteered, annual
seeding being the rule, but here great
success has been achieved in the or
binary year by simply turning water
on the old field in the spring, thus

Semi Centennial

Gettysburg, Pa, July 3.-Cooler
weather followed the raiustorm Of
yesterday, and for the FIRST time the
veterans Of the blue and gray we're
really able to enjoy themselves.
Today's feature Of the semi-centen.
NAL celebration Of the battle of Get
tysburg was q picturesque one. It
took place at the Bloody Angle. when
the Philadelphia brigade Of the
Union army and survivors Of Pick
ett's division were formed on opposite
sides Of the stone wall where the
charge stopped. The veterans charg.
ed As best they could with their bur-
den Of years. but when they reached
the wall they stopped and shook
hands. On this spot they picked out
a location for a S25O.O0O monument
which they hope to have congress
erect there.
Many thousands left camp today for
their homes. The army officers In
charge threw a Gordon over the roads
leading out today and examined the
baggage. Many government blankets
supplied for the encampment were
discovered and removed.
