Imperial, Seeley, Calexico and El

pleted the ranks of the ball players
and it is not considered practical to

The first practice game of the local
team was held yesterday afternoon
when in a hot sun the local boys lim-
bered up their muscles, both in field
ing practice and batting.
According to present indications
the following men will comprise thu

Imperial county supervisors today
recognized the appeal of scores of I'm
perial Valley farmers and wired the
United States district attorney at Los
Angeles to use his influence to have
the Delta Land e. Water Company
officials indicted for fraud.
Although suits involving hundreds
of thousands of dollars are now pend
ing against the Utah crowd of land
sellers, filed by Imperial Valley
farmers IN an attempt to save their
lands here, the Milford and Beaver
land developers, it seems, are under
the protection of the Utah courts and
may go forth scot free with the pro-
ceeds Of the sale Of land that is al
legged to be nearly worthless. The
local farmers, therefore, believe that
the best interests of the state of Cali
fornia would be served by the indict-
ment of these men.
The telegram sent by the super
visors is as follows:
I'VE ask the Indictment by you Of
of the Delta Land and Wa
ter Company, if events warrant it,
and we think they do. More than one
half million dollars in cash and mort
cages have been received by these men
in grossly fraudulent representations
TO Valley farmers. Intense public
feeling here. We think the recent
decisions of Judge Willis demands
your recognition"

PREPARING REPORT
HORTICULTURAL COMMISSION.
Err is BUSY.
Thinks Egyptian Cotton Is Best fo,
the Valley as It Is Scare
This Year.

County Horticultural Commissioner
F. w. Waite is preparing his annual
report to include the twelve months
ending September 80, and to be filed
with the state commissioner, George
II. Hecke. The report will be a sum-
mary Of the work done by his office
in the past year and is to be practical
~ a summary Of the monthly re-
ports made to the board of super
visors.
The state commissioner has asked
Mr.. Waite to prepare an article on
Imperial Valley to be published in
the monthly bulletin issued by the
Sacramento office. Mr.. Waite said
he will probably treat with cotton in
the valley as the leading product at
this time. In the opinion of the hor-
ticultural commissioner, Egyptian cot
ton is the coming fibre crop for the
valley. He said reports received by
him indicated that annually $l6,0OO,-
900 worth of Egyptian cotton has beer
imported into the United States. LONG
staple cotton in the South and East
has become badly affected by the boil
weevil. according to his reports, which
means that Imperial Valley shoult
take advantage of the opportunity tt
produce the highest priced fibre O.
all.

Petrograd, Oct. 1.-The imprison-
ment Of Alex Berlsman and the Moon
ey trial in San Francisco may have
a direct bearing on the question of
whether Russia continues to fight.
Harangued by American Anarchists
and rapid Socialists, the Petrograd
populace is being worked into fren-
zy regarding the fate of Mooney and
Berkman, who, Petrograd hears, has
been condemned to die.
A demand may be made on the
Council of Soldiers and Workmen that
they insist that these two men be
freed, otherwise the Russians may
forsake the Allies.
Several thousand members of the
Bolseviki party at a mass meeting
today protested against the imprison-
ment Of Berkman. Agitators from
the United States harangued the
crowd. The agitators scoffed at
American liberty, saying the bour-
geoise ruled this country.
A threatened demonstration against
the American embassy was not car
ried out. The government sent an
armored motor car to the embassy
and detachment of troops was also
sent. They were recalled after the
meeting adjourned
Preparing for Air Raids.
The Russian capital is preparing to
resist air raids expected from Riga.
A series Of observation posts within
a radius Of 200 miles have been es-
tablished. Preparations have been
made to darken the city at night.
General Gurko, commanding the
southwest front, has been expelled
from Russia via Archangel, due to
letter he wrote to the former emperor
expressing loyalty.
Russian troops advanced in the
Riga section, German posts being
pressed back south of the railroad in
the Spitals farm section.

Both Cantuists and Carranzistas
join today in stating that the report

San Francisco, Oct. 1.--As a nout-
growth Of the morder Of Mrs. Emile
Turner, an aged Berkeley woman, by
tow boys recently, demand is to
be made on the state legislature that
California provide an institution for
the care and detention of youthful
criminals such as the two boy mur-
derers.
Attorney Donald Mcclure, who
represented the boys--John Baker and
James Fee--has announced his inten-
ton of presenting the matter to the
legislature. The boys have been sent
to the reform school at Whittier, that
being the only action possible under
the present California laws.
81 hope that this case will prove
a precedent and impress on the peo-
pie of this state the necessity for
having a special institution where
boys like Baker and Fee will be placed
under pathological observation, SC
their youth and vitality will not be
thrown away" Mcclure declared.
"It is abhorrent to think of plac-
ing young boys in penitentiaries with
hardened criminals. On the other
hand, it would be unjust to send then
to an insane asylum because, while il
is dangerous to have boys who are IL

Of each and every farmer being pres

signers of the agreement:
"'My Dear Sir: It is now impos-
sible to raise money on the corn and
cotton labor agreement which you
and 300 other farmers signed. Some
business interests in the valley fee
that it would work against their sue
cess to agree to deduct the amount
which you authorized them to deduct
at the time OF ginning.
"The Globe Mills has agreed te
make the deduction wherever the
farmer has authorized and now agrees
to make the deduction, but one gin
agreeing does not permit any money
to be raised. Several grain buyers
have also agreed to make deductions
on corn as authorized

forward, as outlined in the accom-
panying sheet. We cannot afford to
drop it now. You are urged to come
to this meeting Of farmers, cotton
and corn growers, to be held in Ell
Centre Tuesday afternoon, October 2,
at the Palace theatre, at 2 p. m. Your
suggestions and advice as to complet-
ing this important work will be well
coined. Do not miss this meeting.
Upon your presence depends an ade-
quate labor supply for this season,
and from all indications the next few
years will find labor less plentiful,
hence the necessity Of your being

it is your patriotic duty to this coun-
