members recently motored to Impe-
rial Beach and their report was s,
glowing that the club decided to
adopt it as their summer play
ground.
Imperial Beach is very beautiful.
1t is but one mile from a car line
which connects it with San Diego,
only eight miles distant. It is
smooth, pebbly beach with gradual
slope, making sefe bathing. It is
splendid point for boating and fish
ing, if one may believe DIR. Apples
fish stories. Furthermore, it is more
conveniently situated for Imperial
valley residents than any other beach,
being this side of San Diego.
The following families, who make
up the club, have secured lots and
have mutually agreed to build within
fourteen months:
Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Garland, Mr..
and Mrs. Walter E. Packard, DR.. and
Mrs. Apple, DR.. and Mrs. Carter, Mr..
and Mrs. M. R. Kerr, Mr.. and Mrs.
A. H. Griswold, Mr.. and Mrs. Dan
v. holland, Mr.. and Mrs. w. S. Faw-
cett, Mr.. and Mrs. w. M. Weaver,
Mr.. and Mrs. R. B. Vaile.
While plans for the club house have
not been made, it is certain it will
have a community kitchen and din
ing room. This appeals to the house
wives-outings without cooking and
.dishwashing even of the so-called
light housekeeping type. In antici-
patton of many trips to San Diego
in Big Is and realizing that the ex-
position city will be full and prices
high, the Foresee Club feel very for
tunate in having secured locations a.
Imperial Beach, from which point the
exposition may be seen economically
and comfortably, and they wish to
make public their gratitude to Judge
Banta for his generous gift of the
club house site.

(Joseph Timmons in Los Angeles Ex-
aminer).
Col. D. C. Collier, out of whose
tropical imagination and limitless en-.
ergy the Panama California exposi
ton grew, is in New York, among
strangers, broke. Other men have
the titular honors of an achievement
that never would have been except
for Charlie Collier.
Having spent probably 100000 Of
his own money and allowing his pri,
vate enterprises to go to smash while
he travelled the world over at his owl
expense out of loyalty to his idea and
to his city and State, Collier is
stranded. Those too far away to
know the true story are asking: "What
happened to Collier; who fixed the to-
boggan for him?"
But in San Diego Collier hasn't lost
friend. and practically everyone was
his friend. They have subscribed lib
orally and generally to loving cup
fund, and a handsome token of affec-
ton and esteem awaits the return of
the picturesque big president who was
the exposition, but who now has gone
into total eclipse.
Collier doesn't want the cup, but he
says he is coming home to San Diego
and make a new start. Friends who
saw him in Chicago week ago say
he is blithe in his misfortune, his con-

Fire Arms for Boys

San francisco, March 26.--Almost
100000 Krag Jorgensen 80 calibre RI
fes of the model Of 1898 and $4,000
carbines with ammunition, will be
ready for distribution to the civilian
rife clubs and cadet boys if congress
approves Of the proposed distribution
plan. The arms and ammunition are
held in storage by the government and
are practically useless for the pres
ent army use, but will be fine for
civilian rife clubs and high school
teams. The war department officials
are Of the opinion that the move will
be the proper one for training the
youth of the country in the proper
method of handling guns. At the pres
ent time this country is doing less
than any other country toward edu
eating the youth in the use Of fire
arms.

Ruined by Revolution.

San Francisco, March 25.-Another
tragedy of the Mexican revolution
was revealed when it became known
that Walter G. Campbell, two years
ago a millionaire, but now apparent
ly pauper, had disappeared, leaving
his young wife and infant in this city
practically penniless.
Campbell's fortune, estimated two
years ago at nearly $4,00O,O00, was
invested in Mexican land and lumber.
Campbell and his wife have been
watching their immense fortune in
the state of Sonora fade away dur
ing the past two years, confiscated
by the revolutionists, and they have
seen the stocks and bonds of the
Campbell Land and, Lumber Syndi-
cate of Sonora fall from above par
to nothing. Their annual income Of
$125,OOO has changed to mountains
of debts and they have found it neces-
sary to pawn their personal effects.
It is feared by friends of Camp.
bell that he may have revisited
Mexico and been killed by the con-
stitutionalists, as Campbell was an
ardent Huertist. It became known
today that the police Of Los Ange-
les, San Diego and other California
cities had been searching for him
without result.

Season Is Advanced

Sacramento, March 26.-Early last
week some Of the most prominent
fruit handlers of Sacramento pre-
dicted that the season would open this
year a fortnight ahead of normal. But
it is not in fruit alone that the pros
perry of the Sacramento valley will
rest this year. Every crop of i'm
portance will return yields to the til
lers of the soil, in nearly every in
stance record breaking and in many
cases phenomenal. From Shasta to
Solano county come reports of ideal
conditions in the farming line. Rain
has been plentiful and the warm
weather has not only brought out the
crop, but it has made possible the
farming Of overflowed lands. Alfalfa.
grain and other forage crops are
said to be in fine shape in all dis
tricts.

Jimmy Gilmore, prexy Of the Feds,

camp at Wilmington, N. c., and find
ing the call of the diamond bit too

because Danny panned him after the

for not sending a pinch hitter in to

the ninth inning, when even long
fly meant the game for the Athletic.
Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the Pi-
rates, said:
"If man signs a contract with
me and then jumps he is no good"
Which is not highly illuminating,
Barney-nor is it news. Some months

great player man might be, and
no matter how valuable, he became a
dub and has been in the eyes of or
ganized baseball just as soon as he

Frank Menke's
Sporting Letter

New York, March 26.-The gentle.
man who coined the expression
"shrouded in mystery" must have had
in mind the present day and age when
four yachts are being built for inter
national racing purposes, and the de-
tails of their construction are about
as hard to obtain as the conviction Of
a crooked bank president.
Tom Upton, who is partly respon-
sible for the tango teas, is building a
yacht in England which he hopes will
lift. the cup that Uncle Sam has
guarded for some many years. Tom
has hired an army of detectives to
loiter around the boat house, both
day and night, to prevent any per
son from peeking through the knot
holes and getting a look at the skiff
that is costing him the profit on mill
ions Of pounds of tea.
The conditions are but little differ
ent here. Three yachts are in process
of construction. The one that shows
its stern to all the others in the elm
ination races to be run this summer
will be the one selected to grapple with
Tommy's boat in September.
But no details of the yachts are
available. Of course, from time to
time come rumors that this yacht will
have this and that yacht will have
that, but outside Of these vague ru-
mors nothing is known about the
yachts. And nothing will be known
until the carefully guarded boats slip
into the water as part of the launch
ing ceremonies and curious America
will have chance to give them the
once over-through field glasses.

PRUNING FRUIT TREES.

One OF the greatest problems con
fronting the Kentucky fruit grow
ers today is pruning. Everywhere
throughout the State are to be
found orchards that have been neg.
lected for years. The trees are of
ten too crowded, which forces the
topmost branches to reach up for
sunlight, thus producing tall, un.
even tree with a dense heavy top
The lower branches are either dead
or covered with numerous cankers
because the air and sunlight cannot
get in to aid in keeping the limbs
in healthy condition. Dead wood
is abundant, especially In the center
of the tree.
An orchard similar to the above
cannot be a profitable one. Fruit
borne on trees of this kind will be
small and inferior and will be pro-
duced only at the sides and tops of
the trees. All OF the bearing wood
will be on the outside of the tree
and none ON the inside.
In pruning an old tree that has
been neglected for some time, the
first thing to do Is to remove all Of
the dead branches. Next look for
diseased branches and get rid of
them. If the diseased limb be a
valuable one, the affected part may
be cut out and the wound treated
with good disinfectant. Bichloride
Of mercury may be used in disin-
fecting such areas. l.
Trim out branches that have a
tendency to rub each other or that
grow back into the center OF the
tree across another limb. Cankers

are often found where branches rub
and the removal of such limbs Will
aid in keeping cankers under con-
troll. Parallel branches are also OBJ
jectionable because they have a ten
dency to lock together, thus exclud-
ing the air and sunlight from the
under branch. Usually one good
branch is better than two growing
close together and in pruning one
should attempt TO cut away the
weaker branch.
Watersprouts are very objection
able in a tree because they consume
large quantities of plant food. They
should always be removed unless II
is desirable to leave one to fill in
an open area on the tree, Water
sprouts very seldom produce fruit
until they are six or eight years
old. To induce fruitfulness they
should be cut back every year. III
it becomes necessary to cut back
any of the main limbs, always use
a saw. Great care should be taken
to make the cut parallel to the
main limb and avoid leaving stub,
Avoid removing any limb over three
inches in diameter If possible as
It takes considerable time for such
cut to heal over properly. Where
large limb has been removed the
cut surface should be coated with
heavy paint TO protect 1t from
loss of moisture and to aid in keep
ing fungous diseases in control.
White lead and oil are very good
for this purpose.
1t should be the aim of the prun-
err to head the old trees back. Trim
them down instead of up. In cut
ting back large limbs-e especially
the ones that go up from the cen
ter-always cut them back to lat
eral growths. Where there Is a con-
siderable wood growth 1t is not
best to take out all of the wood at
once because htere will be very
heavy growth of watersprouts the
following summer. Try to prune a
little every year and thus avoid sucf
danger.
A very convenient tool for prun-
: ing is a saw similar to the ordinary
meat saw. The blade is attached
to swivel so that 1t may be turn
ed at any angle, thus allowing the
operator to make the more difficult
cuts in the crotches. A long and a
short handled pair of shears are
handy. Avoid the use of the axe.
1t often takes nature ten years TO
repair the damage done in ten min
utes with this crude instrument.
The best time for pruning Is in
late winter just before the sap
starts to flow. However, any time
during the months Of February or
March will do.

The Jim Grow Car Law.

A Christian couhty jury imposed a
fine of $500 on a railroad company
for violating the provisions of the
so-called Jim Crow car act. The
prosecution was based on the charge
which seems to have been substan-
tiated-.that the road had not pro-
vided suitable accommodations for
negro passengers.
The separate coach law requires
that the accommodations for negroes
shall be equal to those provided for
the whites. In many instances the
railroads have made no particular
effort to comply with this provision.
They have separated the white and
colored passengers, usually by parti-
tioning off a part Of coach and re-
serving it for the use of the negroes.
Sometimes the accommodations are
fairly good and sometimes they are
not. AS general rule it may be
said they are not equal to those sup
piled for white passengers.
If the law is to be enforced literally
it puts the railroads up against a Sc
rious proposition. The number Of
negro travellers is small as compared
with the number of white travellers.
If the railroads were compelled act
ually to supply separate coaches they
would be hauling practically empty
cars for the greater portion of the
time. As the case stands the negroes
do not get equal accommodations ex-
cept on the colored excursions. which
are numerous at this season Of the
year and which probably represent
the bulk of the negro travel all the
year round.
The simple truth Of the matter i
