Mai.-Gen. Bell Visits
Valley for Inspection

of the government not to place troops
Immediately on the border, as at Ca
lexico, where no strife has developed.
Such movement cf the troops would
in ali probability be construed as a
direct challenge by the residents on
the other side of the line.
General Bell is expected to return
to Ell Centro this evening and will
probably remain in the valley for two
or three days.
Companies L and M, which were
sent from the local camp on hike
to Calexico few days since, will re-
main there a few days, it was learned
today. Supplies have been sent to
them to make this possible. There is
no intimation that this may be a per-
manent arrangement. but undoubted-
ly the disposition of the soldiers in
the valley will be determined by Gen
eral Bell according to military inter-
ests, regardless of what the citizens
of any Of the interested towns may
desire

citizen, no matter to what length that
may carry.
There is much conjecture heard re-
garding the probable moves of this
country if break in the relationship
of this country to the Central Powers
is to come, and few persons expect
that there will be passive disposition
shown in that event.
The severance of diplomatic rela-
tions, it is believed, would lead to at
tacks on American merchant vessels
by German submarines, and this in
turn would force actual conflict,
though it's nature is not easy to prog
nosticate.
In one way this country would take
an important part in the war if forced
into it. This would be in the financing

to mean a reduced cotton acreage
throughout Texas. Mr.. Bradford. who
is himself the owner of three farms
there and who studies farm conditions
through the state, says there had been
dry weather for considerable time, and
this had led to the publication of the
statement that ground which had been
seeded to grain would have been plowed
UP and planted to cotton. But he
does not believe that this is to follow,
as the rain has come in time through
out the entire state to mature the
grain.
Close observers of the cotton situa-
tion had felt that the drought would
lead to a greater acreage of cotton
this year, but according to Mr.. Brad
ford's observations this will not fol-
low end the early reports of small
acreage will hold good.
Imperial Valley press., 1916-04-03

Major General J. Franklin Bell,
commanding the Department of the
Pacific, arrived in Ell Centro this
morning on tour Of inspection OF
conditions along the southern border
of his department.
In company with Major James T.
Dean, commanding the Third battal-
ion Of the Twenty-first infantry, sta
toned at Ell Centre, Sheriff Charles
M. Applestill and others, General Bell
later left on an auto trip to Holtville
and Calexico, personally to acquaint
himself with conditions in the south
ern part of the county.
The visit of General Bell was not
as rumors have been rife
for a week or more than General Bell
was contemplating an inspection tour
of the southern part of the state.
General Bell spoke freely of his rea-
sons for sending the Third battalion
of the Twenty-first infantry to Ell
Centro, stating that it is the policy

Little Jim Got Through.

Columbus, N. NJ, April 3.-Because
t"Little" Jim Dick, years old, has a
mans size heart, the freedom of the
soldiers camp here is his.
A few nights ago. as evening was
falling over the camp where tons of
supplies are shipped daily to the
American columns pursuing Villa and
his bandits, two refugees stumbled in
from out across the sandy waste over
the line-a big tall gaunt man and
little Jim. They had struggled in
from an S7-mile hike.
"The little feller," precocious be-
yond his years and nervy as the
toughest border veteran, has been
adopted as the ward of the border
guard. His father, J. B.. Dick, has
found a place as watchman.
The heart of the camp went out to
little Jim and the bronze men in khaki
found time for sentiment when he
came trudging through to Columbus,
clinging to his fathers hand.
"Give the kid some water, for
Gods sake"'gasped the man. His lips
were cracked and purple, his nostrils
fringed with alkali dust. An officer
caught little Jim as the boy fell limp
to the sand, and tipped canteen to
his lips. The haggard man clutched

London, April 3.-The total casual
ties in Zeppelin raids in three days
are expected to reach 300 dead and
wounded.
The populace of hotels and clubs
have urged that the crew of the
wrecked Zeppelin LIS be treated with
severity as a lesson to other raid
ers.
Feeling is likely to cause parlia-
mentary inquiry into prisoners of the
LIS dining with British officers.
Berlin, April 3.-Zeppelins Saturday

Sunderland iron works and other in

TEXAS CLIMATE IS
STRANGE THIS YEAR

C. A. Bradford of Austin, Tex, for
merly Of Ell Centre, arrived here last
evening and told a strange story of
the climate of Texas this year. On
April he rode from San Antonio to
Ell Paso through a snowstorm, the
snow being two or three inches deep.
Aside from this, almost his entire
trip was through rain.
This experience has notable bear
ing on affairs in two ways. 1t tells
of the hard weather the soldiers in
northern Mexico are finding, and un-
doubtedly of much suffering by those
in the mountains during the last few
days.
Aside from this, the rain is believed

While there has been an extension
this year of about $4,000 acres in the
cotton acreage on the Mexican side
of the line, that is not so great as
the extension expected next year, for
already there are preparations in hand
for breaking in 10000 additional acres,
which will be ready for planting in a
year from this date. At that time
there will be about 10000 acres un-
der irrigation below the line.
There are now living on the delta
in Mexico about 6,400 persons. and
it is expected that number will be in
creased to 5000 or 5000 by fall, on
account of the increased number of
persons required for the harvest of
the cotton crop, while the next year

Washington, April 3.-President

about 100000 acres.
Under the canals of the irrigation
system there are now about $4,000
acres, and, with the Mexican lands,
within the next year there will be un-

take about 100000. and we must look
forward within five years to the irri-
cation Of 1,250,000 acres on the two
sides of the line, all in enc compact

There would be no means of staying
this order of development if we were
disposed to do so, and because of that
fact it devolves on the people Of the

of nearly 100 per cent, for the same
reason.
These facts indicate how important
factor in the, valley the Mexican
portion is becoming, which is to say
that there is now well under way a
colonization which has for years been
expected to materialize at some time.
AT the same time, there is evident
on this side of the line similarly

Gates the vast development In the

1t is believed that the events will
not be slow in developing. Germany

the sinking of the Sussex, no matter
with what apology, after the promises
heretofore made, diplomatic relations
will be at once severed, and the issue
be presented at once.
Berlin, April 3.-The tension that
was manifest in the Lusitania and
Arabic cases is not manifested by the
public in relation to the Sussex case,
which is due to the impression that
the Sussex was mined and not tor

The increased activity of submarine
warfare is well received by the public.

Soldiers and officers are betting
even money that Villa will be killed

the pursuit is a climax of the rein
