TO RAISE CELERY
AT CALIPATRIA

After looking over the situation
carefully and studying condition, E. G.
RomatkA is planning to raise celery
on a large scale at Calipatria, and he
believes this industry will jump into
prominence here in very short time.
Mr.. Romatka has been operating in
different parts of Southern California
and has grown great deal of Gel
cry, and he says that he can get $500
per crate for celery shipped out of
Calipatria either to eastern markets
or to Los Angeles.
Mr.. Romatka was first attracted to
Calipatria by the wonderful reports
he had heard of Imperial Valley and
more especially by the bonus offers
which the Imperial Valley Farm Land
Association are making their Cali
patria Eastside Farms of y. S. pat
ented decided lands.
He had heard about Imperial Val
ley for some time, but thought that
the reports were exaggerated. Now
he says the reports do not do the val
ley justice and he expects to double
any previous output of his favorite
product with the ideal conditions pre-
vailing on the Calipatria Eastside
Farms.

SETTLEMENT SEWER
PROBLEM DEFERRED

The reply of the Imperial trustees to
the proposal of the trustees of this
city for joint sewer system with an
outfall in New river has suffered q
double determent-a continuance by
the Imperial trustees until March %,
and later a delay of another week un-
til the return from Sacramento of En-
gineer Frank Olmstead, March 80. Ohm
'sted has been appointed one of COM
mission from Los Angeles county to
place before legislators at Sacramento
proposals of an irrigation project.
Mayor A. w. Swanson recently dis
cussed the proposal with members o.
the Imperial board who, while declin-
ing to commit themselves to any def
mite statement, affirmed that Impe-
rial probably would cooperate with
this city in the construction of the
sewer system.
Thus far no definite reply has been
received from Imperial regarding the
attitude of that city in the matter of
the joint system, but the occasional
favorable comment of members of the
Imperial board has given rise to the
belief that satisfactory settlement
will eventually be reached.

One OF the most important business
deals in Ell Centre in recent months
has taken place, being of a double ma
ture.
Ross & Stuart have bought the Pure
Food Grocery, at the corner of Sixth
and State streets, of Ferguson & Straw
hun. and will hereafter conduct their
business exclusively from this CEN
ter. This is an important change in
a real estate way, as it puts one of
the strongest business houses on
Sixth street, which had already shown
signs of developing into an important
business street.
Varney Brothers & Co. have
bought the Ross e Stuart Grocery
on Main street, not only acquiring the
stock, but also buying the building, as
well as the buildings occupied by the
Palm Cafe and the Valley Book Store.

What The War Moves Mean
CBy J. W. T. Mason)

! tformer European Manager of thu
United Press
New York, March 22.-The neces
sity for serious land operations, il
cooperation with the Allied battleshiJ
bombardment of the Dardanelles, i.
being suggested in London.
The delay in ADOPTING this course
as well as the desultory nature of the
bombardment, Indicate that the Allies
entered upon their Constantinople ad.
venture unprepared in advance for al
eventualities. 1t seems apparent that
the campaign was regarded from the
flfst as an experiment, presenting
many possibilities Of difficulty, and
that its success could not be predict
ed at the start.
Ihere are many reasons which sug-
gest that 1t was Judged necessary in
London and Paris TO attempt the con-
quest of the Dardanelles with a min
imum effort. The belief in London
that the bombardment dwindled on ac-
count Of an exhaustion of ammunition
suggests this Interpretation. Several
landing parties attempted to secure
lodgment, but they were too weak.
The Turks are now making new mil
itary concentrations to defend the
forts against field operations. This
must mean that the Turks have re-
ceived information concerning the
movement of the enemys transports.
Athens has heard that an army corps
is on its way to the Dardanelles from
Smyrna. If this is true it probably
means that Pertev Pasha, Turke S
most brilliant military leader, is being
put in charge Of the Sultan's opera
tions. Pertey Pasha has been in COM
mand Of the Smyrna military distric.
and it is understood that he has been
held there for an emergency such as
the present one.
Pertey Pasha made the Smyrna
troops the finest in the Turkish en-
pire and if he accompanies the corps
to the Dardanelles the Allies will have
worthy foeman.
How strong a land force the Allies
can employ in the Dardanelles opera
tion is difficult question. They
need every available man in France
and Flanders if an attempt is to be
made to drive the Germans back to
the frontier. The danger. therefore,
if economies are made. is that too few
men to subdue the Turks will be sent.

Framing Protest. j..

Washington, March 22.-The Ameri-
can protest against the British block
aae of Germany will be shaped at a
cabinet meeting tomorrow. 1t will not
be so vigorous as at first proposed,
Ambassador Page has receiver assur-
ances that the Allies will limit the
war zone to the smallest possible limit.
No definite figures have yet been Civ
en- out, but it is understood America
will be satisfied if the zone is con-
fined to 1000 miles of the coast. The
Allies are unwilling to guarantee this.
The government, however, has aban-
doned the plan for strenuous pro-
test.
Imperial Valley press., 1915-03-22

claim has ever been made that the
contest was a charity movement on
the part of the Press. The paper
wants all the business that can pos
sibly be obtained, but it also intends
to be fair to every candidate and with
that end in view has afforded every
possible protection to the steady rust
lers who went ahead regardless of
foolish rumors and discouragements.
The most liberal bonus offers have
been made early in the contest. No
bonus offers of any kind will be in
force on the last two days. On the
last day of the contest all who so de-
sire may submit their final subscrip-
tions, with cash to pay for same, in
sealed envelopes, which will be opened
only by the jury of awards.
This renders it impossible for any,
one connected with the paper to give
out any information which will insure
the winning of any of the prizes to
any one person. All have an equal
chance. No one can tell what any
candidate will have in those sealed en-
velopes until the final count is made
by the jury of awards. Contestants
and their friends will witness the
final count of ballots which will be
held Saturday night Immediately after
the close.
Last Bonus Offer.
The last bonus vote offer expires
April l and is for new subscrip-
tions for year or more each, or year
extensions of new subscriptions given
prior to the announcement of this Of
fer. The bonus is $4,000 votes and
1t may be won two or more times by
the same candidate.

Big Business Deal That
Involves Two Large Firms

This gives the firm 10 feet frontage

these rooms will be occupied by the
big Varney store, though for the

afternoon, in honor of her sister, Miss

Keen competition is developing in
the race for the big prizes offered by
the Press Four powerful rivals seem
to possess almost equal chances OF
victory one week from Saturday
night. All four are popular and
seem to possess hosts of friends who
are eager to see them win and arc
doing all in their power to promote
their chances of success.
Big Subscriptions Come In.
Big subscriptions are coming in now
as the contest nears its close. Sew
eral have subscribed for two-year pc
riods and a number have added a year
to subscriptions already given for a
year period, while some candidates
have even been fortunate enough to
secure one or two subscriptions for
three-year periods. Those big sub
scriptions are rare with all candidates,
but are all the more welcome. One
such subscription, if new, counts 75,-
900 votes, and $4,000 votes make a
big difference in the scores of even
the strongest candidates.
Entry Lists to Close.
No new candidate will be permitted
to enter after Saturday of this week.
Every possible advantage is being Civ
en- to candidates who entered early in
the race and have done their best
right along. Such candidates had the
benefit of the biggest and best bonus
vote offers and even at this time may
win the $4,000 bonus vote offer many
times before its expiration on April /.
If anyone expects to win by the use
of money on the last day, there will
be some big scores to overcome, for
by that time it is possible some can
didate may have nearly 100000
votes, besides a possible reserve held
until the last day.
= 1t is still possible for a new candi-
date TO enter and win the $1.400 Olds-
mobile, for new candidate would
find that her friends had not beer
approached, but it would now require
serious effort and determination.
Object of the Contest.
The object of the contest is, O
course, Il practical one with the Press
Increased circulation. as well as casl
returns, are to be considered. N,

No Agreement Reached
For Work on the Canal

All the water companies of the val
ley were represented in Los Angeles
Saturday, when a final effort was
made to get the court to order work
done by Receiver Holabird on the
main canal. In this they failed, Hola-
bird being determined to coerce No.
6 into submission to his orders and
to compel the other companies to help
force No. into line.
No. |, however. has force of teams
at work, and will continue work on
the canal regardless of Holabird's at.
titnda
Imperial Valley press., 1915-03-22

Holabird's latest move is said to be
threat that unless the water COM
panies pay in advance for water he
will Immediately shut down Hanlon
gate to cut off all supplies except for
those that have paid in advance. Those
are Nos. 3 and I.
The indications are that if an eff
fort is made to carry out this threat
there will be real warm time over
at Hanlon's, for none of those pres
ent We're inclined to acknowledge his
power to carry it out.
