FIRE AT POOL HALL.

Blythe pool hail. owned by J. B.
Evans, was discovered to be on fire
last Friday night at eleven O'Clock
and it was only after a hard half
hours fight between the flames and
a bucket brigade of Blythe citizens
that the fire was conquered. The
damage to the building and equip
ment was less than $10O.
j. B, Evans who sleeps in a tent
in the rear Of the building was a
wakened at about II O'Clock by the
noise of the flames. He spread the
alarm and within a minute a line
OF men in pajamas was passing wa
ter from the we'll to the interior OF
the building.
The fire started inside the build
ing near the south wall and, is
believed to have been due to a cigar
stub or match thrown into a box
Of sawdust. When discovered it had
burned through the floor and the
wall, was blazing to the ceiling. The
flames had gained such headway that
it seemed almost a miracle that they
could be stopped. The men forming
the bucket line were much handicap
ped by smoke

RAlLROADW WILL
DOUBLE VALUE
(Palo Verde Valley Herald.D

With the driving of the first spike
in the construction of a railroad into
the Palo Verde valley there is every
reason to believe that the value Of
every acre of land will increase from
80 to 100 per cent both here and on
the mesa.
Many land buyers who know the
productiveness of the reclaimed des-
erts of tthe southwest have invested
here during the past few months. In
most cases these men have come into
the valley direct from Imperial and
other places where soil, water and
climate are similar to this place,
The Palo Verde they say, has all the
advantages of other places where i'm
proved land is selling from $50 to
$500 an acre, excepting the railroad.
and it is the absence of better means
OF transportation that makes land in,
vestments so desirable at the pres
ent time.
The Palo Verde valley does MOI
want speculative investors and the
time is fast coming when such will
be eliminated by the natural forces
at work here. Few of those who
have purchased the thousands OF
acres of land sold by the Land &
Water company during the past
spring expect to keep their land idle
Some of them are under contract tC
improve it and others already have
forces of men clearing the mesquit,
and leveling the rough places.
The fact that hundreds of acres O.
land have been added to the guilty.
ated area during the last three
months and that thousands will bt
added before another year, makes
the coming of a railroad an abso
lutte necessity. At the present rati
of growth the valley will have to
have steam transportation before
long or it's development viii be ser
iOusly handicapped or entirely
stopped.
Ii rancherS and business men O..
the valley do not take the initiative.
before that time comes and get th$
preliminary work under way they ar
going to feel the handicap seriously.
The freight congestion of the pas
few months should have taught thi@
lesson.
Whether Palo Verdeans wish to of
fer a bonus or take stock in a cor
pOratiOn formed for the construction
of road is point that will be dt,
termined by the committee working

HORSE HILL
BITES THE DUST

Wiley Hill, the only broncO-buster
who has successfully ridden Cyclone,
and the cow-puncher who has won
more prizes for conquering bad
horses than any other one man, met
his Waterloo last Sunday when a
two-year old pony belonging to Nc
Intyre and Talbert tossed him to the
ground in half minutes time.
Wiley changed saddles on the pony
and on the second trial stayed with
him.
The bronco busting exhibition was
given at the baseball park after the
finish of the game and there was
half hours rough-riding of the
kind that made the wild west famous.
The exhibition was started by a
lanky cowpuncher from Texas who
rode Ace Gardners pony. The
Texans riding was unpopular for the
reason that he pulled leather" con-
stantly.
Wiley Hill then tackled McIntyre's
pony Sky-rocket and lasted about
three jumps. Ace Gardner took next
trial and he touched the saddle just
once. Joe Sortillon, the hope Of the
Mexican population, followed and
stayed in the saddle until the pony
did a double bow knot and left him
picking himself out of the dust.
Friends persuaded Ace Gardner to
climb into the saddle again and this
time Ace stuck it out by pulling
leather
The Fourth of July committee
signed the pony up for an Independ-
ence Day exhibition and will offer
a prize for the successful rider

INDIAN BOYS WANT WORK.

Mr.. Babcock was in the valley last

place the Indians on ranches around
Blythe and Neighbours and have an
Overseer here to look after their in
terests and maintain regular reser-
vation discipline among them.

sPINELEss CACTUS FOR FEED.

OCEANSIDE, May 21.-There have
arrived from the Burbank Propoga
ton Gardens twelve tons of spineless
cactus leaves, TO be used in planting
forty acres of the Crouch ranch
recently bought by Los Angeles in
yestOrs.
The leaves average about a foot
in length, look much like the aver
age flat leaved common cactus but
are entirely free from spines. A
few small spines are to be noted on
the fruit The leaves are set out
III dry land by the simple eXpedient
OF burying the leaf firmly about half
its length in the ground.
1t is claimed by the promoters of
the project that the spineless cactus
is going to revolutionize the question
Of cheap forage for cattle and stock
Of all kinds. 1t is prolific pro
ducer, conservative estimates placing
the production of twenty-five tons
per acre year for young plants
while older ones will produce twice
that amount. More sanguine grow
ers allege that as high as 200 tons
to the acre can be produced. It's
feeding value is variOusly placed at
from three to as high as fifteen dol
lars a ton
