IS INVITED
TO COME OUT TO THE BOARD OF
TRADE MEETING SATURDAY
NIGHT-IMPORTA MATTERS
TO BE ACTED UPON.

There will be meeting of the
Board of Trade Saturday night, Oc-
tober IS, in the room next to the post
office, and everybody is cordially in
vited to be in attendance. This means
every citizen of Parker who owns
property or has business interests
here
The principal business to be trans
acted at Saturday nights meeting will
be the election of officers and a board
of directors. The people of the
town are asked to come out and
have a choice in naming these vari-
Gus officers to be elected, and to
make suggestions for the future con-
duct Of the organization.
| The time has arrived for every clti-
zen to become AFFILIATED in work
1t is only through such al organiza-
tion that effective recognition can be
secured from those with whom we
are at present seeking assistance.
| Every citizen Of a community
should feel that the burden Of govern
ment in his town rests partly with
him. In the absence Of municipal
government he should at least be
come identified with an organization
that for the time being may take
its place.
A special invitation is extended to
! the ladies, for it is believed that
the ladies will be enabled to instlll
some of the burdens of citizenship
upon some OF their side-stepping
"'worser halfs" An additional reason
why the ladies are needed in ihc &
ganiZation at this time is because
they can help immeasurably for it's
success in other ways.
BY all means let's hang together.
~cr we may all hang separately.

PALO VERDE COTTON BEST.

According to the official word OF the
United States government as set
forth in a bulletin just issued by the
census bureau the cotton crop OF the
Palo Verde and Imperial valleys rank
the best of any community in the
country.
California is credited with 1OO-cor
ditions absolutely perfect.
The state ranking next to Califor-
MIA, so far as the condition of the cot
ton crops is concerned, is Florida,
with a mark of IS. Then comes Vir-
ginia, with Is; Georgia, with 72;
South Carolina, H. North Carolina,
70; Tennessee, 68; Alabama, 81; Mis-
souri,, Ca Mississippi,63; Texas, ,63; Ar
kansas, 63; louisiana, go; Oklahoma,
AZ.
According to good authority, there
has never before been a case wherein
perfect mark for cotton crop cOndi-
tions has been given by the experts
or the census bureau"
California, at the time of the last
report, was credited with a mark of
"a, which was even then far above
the rank of every other cotton-raising
State in America.
Because of the ideal conditions for
the raising OF cotton in the Imperial
and Palo Verde valleys, California is
rapidly. Increasing in importance as a
cotton "a sing state. Each year there
is a greater acreage planted to cotton
in these alleys, and each succeeding
year the production is much greater
than the last This year is no eXcep-
ton.

BUSY DAYS
AT CALZONA
CORRESPONDENT WRITES OF IN
TERESTlNG VISIT TO OUR SIS
FUTURE.
CBY MRS. G. w. BROWND

A visit to our sister village across
the do-Calzona-gave us some
interesting information. :
Morgan & Bradley are working
their mines in the Riverside Mts,
in sight of town, and are shipping
some good paying ore. And assess
ment work is being done on other
claims in that vicinity.
Mr.. Jack Jarvis of the Tuscorora
was also in town with crew of men
awaiting a large shipment of supplies
and equipment for the work in this
we'll known mine.
While waiting they were unload
ing several carloads of lumber for
transportation to the mine for the
erection of necessary buildings for
housing the employees and machinery;
among il was some finely finished
humber for building a bungalow for
one of the owners, Mr.. w. S. Col
Inns, who expects to spend much time
there in the future.
They also had teams at work haul
ing and distributing telephone poles
along d line tc their mine which they
expect to have in talking order soon.
Mr.. Jarvis informed us that they
were installing powerful hoisting
machine, and were soon to make
other and more expensive improve
ments. This company has great con
fidence in it's property.
Calzona is certainly beautiful
townsite, surrounded in the distance
by a rim of blue mountains, and slop-
ing gradually to the green-fringed
Colorado ON the southwest. Its citi-
zens are confident that it will be the
terminus of a railroad from Blythe
up the river tapping the Santa Fe,
which is being surveyed at the pres
ent time And as there are about
Is, 900 acres of good land contiguous,
which will produce fine crops when
watered, they rightly feel that Cal
zona has a future.
A pleasant incident of our visit was
an informal social gathering which
was made pleasant by all the latest
music, and plenty of the best candies.
Thanks to Mr. Morse, Mr.. Jarvis, and
Mr. Whitman. Those present were:
Mr. and Mrs Beviert, Mr.. and Mrs.
Harger. Mr.. and Mrs. Owens and
children, Mrs Enz of Los Angeles,
Mrs G. W. Brown and daughter. and

TAKE OVER ARIZONA LINES.

At last the much-talked Of change
in the management of the Santa Fe's
Arizona lines has taken place 1t is
announced that after November L,
the S. F. P P. and the A. & G..
will in the future be part OF the
great Santa Fe system. Hereafter
only one Management is to be figured
with when considering the Santa Fe
lines, and only one set of officials
are left to be consulted.
So far as known at the present time
the change will not effect Parker ma
terially, but it is presumed that in
time the Santa Fe will make this one
of it's important division points.
For some days it has been ru-
incurred that change is to be made
on November 1 in the running time
of the passenger trains, the west,
bound train arriving here about 9
o'clock In the evening. and the east
bound train arriving at a. M, in
stead of 2:15. If this change is in
augrated it would be more convenient
for Phoenix as we'll as Parker. The
westbound train would arrive in Los
Angeles early in the morning, while
the eastbound would not leave that
city until in the evening, which would
| be a more convenient time than is at
present the case.
