INTEND TO INTERN
EITEL FREDERICK

Newport News, Va, April 8.-The
formal internment of the Prinz Eitel
Friedrich is delayed, pending receipt
of instructions from Washington. Ad-
miral Helm has requested definite or
ders.
Washington, April S.-Secretary of
the Navy Daniels has ordered the Of
ficers and men of the German cruiser
Prinz Eitel Friedrich paroled and
the vessel interned at Norfolk. The
men must remain in America until
the end of the war. Formal instruc-
tions were sent to Admiral Helm to
intern the Eitel.
Washington, April S.-Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Peters an
nounced last night that the German
cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich would
intern at Newport News, Va. The
ship will remain in the custody of the
United States until the end of the war
in which Germany is now engaged.
The period fixed by the government
neutrality board within which the
Eitel Friedrich should leave the ter
ritorial waters of the United States
unless it was to be interned, expired
at midnight tonight. At 8 o'clock
Secretary Peters received a report
from Collector of Customs Hamilton
at Norfolk transmitting a communica-
tion from Captain Thierichen of the
German ship stating his intention to
intern.
The German captain disclosed for
the first time that he had expected
assistance from the other warships of
his government in order to make it
possible for him to dash for the open
sea with some hope of success. In
his communication he gave no details
as to the basis of his expectation that
assistance would be rendered him,
but il. was inferred that he expected
German warships to divert the Brit
ish and French cruisers from their
patrol outside the Virginia capes so
as to permit the Eitel to steam away
to safety.

From all parts of the county come
reports of extensive planting Of grape
fruit, it being the common verdict
that this fruit has passed the expert
mental period and is being found high
ly profitable.
The coast country has never been
highly successful with this fruit
while Florida has stood supreme. Now
it is proven that the product of the
valley is fully up to the Florida stand
ard and the few trees in bearing are
paying big dividends.
For 10 years experimental work has
Leen proceeding through the valley,
and both favorable and unfavorable
results have been obtained, while the
grapefruit has apparently been the
most successful from financial point
Of view.
The extent of the planting of grape
fruit is shown by the report of Hor-
ticultural Commissioner Waite, as du-
ring the month he inspected 1892
imported nursery trees, or enough to
plant 200 acres.
In this connection it is interesting
to note the number of trees and plants
of all kinds inspected during March,
as they indicate the wide diversity
of industries being built up here:
1892 grapefruit trees.
loquat trees.
S02 umbrella trees.
feijo trees.
900 pepper trees.
13,495 eucalyptus trees.

CUSTOM WILL BE
MADE TEST CASE

The case of A. c. Fell VS.. Imperial
Water Company No. |, protestation
against the custom whereby water
companies acquire without purchase a
right of way across land before per-
mitting the location of water stock,
this morning was decided in favor OF
the defendants. The case will be APP
pealed, according to Attorney Bert
u. Noel, who represented Fell, and
the decision handed down by the high
cr court undoubtedly will be of great
moment to every rancher in the val
ley.
According to Attorney Noel, no
provision for the acquisition of a right
of way by the water company has
been made, aside from the custom that
has been established.
Imperial Water Company No. /, he
said, refused to deliver water on the
Fell land, 4 miles east of Imperial,
without the acquisition of a right of
way. Suit was instituted to force the
delivery without this provision and
according to Attorney Noel the de-
cision in the case was in conformity
with that of a similar case heard
here some time ago.
The case has now developed into J
test case and will be taken to the
higher court with a view to establish
ing a precedent.

John Ehler.-Many Colorado people
whom I saw in California would be
happy to get back here in order to
make a living. After seeing condi-
tions on the coast I am more than
ever convinced that there Is no better
farming country in which to make
money than right here in Colorado.
Some former residents told me that
IL they could only sell their Cali
fornia property they would be happy.
California boosters draw many thou
sands there by their wonderful
stories of raising oranges. lemons and
so on-fine climate in winter. Those
on the inside say that raising those
fruits makes little money. IT is a
rich mans plaything. More money
can be had right here in cabbage and
wheat.
