REAL ESTATE ON
MOVE. AT CALlPATRIA

Real estate is more active today
than it has been for the past three
years, says Mr.. H. H. Clark of Cali
ratria, the general manager for the
Imperial Valley Farm Lands Associ-
alton and the agent for the Calipatria
farms.
Mr.. Clark has been connected with
this association from its inception and
he has personally sold great deal
cf this property, but says tha. there
are now more inquiries coming into
his office today than there ever have
been before.
"A great deal of this is prompted
nv the work on the new Calipatria
railroad" says Mr.. Clark, "for ! am
thoroughly convinced that conditions
are so much better in every way and
that real estate, along with every
thing else, is receiving it's share of
prosperity.

JAP EXPLAINS Plan
TO DEFEAT H0LDUPS

Sheriff Applestill is in receipt of a
letter from a Brawley Jay who be-
lieves that he has solved the holdup
problem. The Jap suggests that the
pedestrian wear false arm, retaining
ones good arm out of sight with
which to whack the thug on the noodle
when he isn't expecting it. The let
ter is as follows:
"Police Court of Sheriff, Ell Gen.
tro, Cal. l let you know New idea
how to fool holdups. Il Is imitation
arms which you use when you meet
a holdup and right arm where pack
age are. When the Borglar looks to
the package, mock him with the left
hand or shot his gun with the left
hands sotgun. Yours helpfully,
"K. SUYEHIEO."

CHANGES IN
NEWSPAPER STATUTES

Some radical changes are contem-
plated with reference to laws govern.
ing newspapers in the State of Cali
fornia. The following bills have been
approved. One bill will repeal the OBJ
noxious signature clause which strikes
at the freedom of the press. A. B
5S5 would compel all city trustees to
have caused the publication of their
minutes, thus making it impossible for
an ordinance to be passed and Sc
creted.
A bill has the provision to publish
all delinquent taxes by township list,
50 that the owner would have a fair
chance of notification.
A. B. 153 would give purchasing
agents power over county clerks and
there has been much opposition ex-
pressed to this move.
In amending Section 4O41 of the
Political Code the bill, if passed, would
give the county purchasing agent full
control of all job matter.
The bills affecting newspapers are
being looked after by the California
Press Association, of which Friend W.
Richardson is president and Oran A
King secretary.

Making Crash Wager.

A bet of $500 was laid this week
that a reckless young man from Braw-
Icy could drive from Ell Centre to
Mountain Springs in one hour. The
youth possesses powerful car and
vas also keyed up with some artificial
power and had it not been for a prom
irent citizen of Brawley it is very
likely thatSthe rash attempt would
kave been made. One other driver had
arranged to follow the youth in or
der to pick the wreck ont of the
ditch.

Chicago, Feb. 22.-The unrest in
the tenement districts owing to the
cost of foodstuffs is so menacing that
the officials are doing their utmost
to secure relief before rioting occurs.
The authorities declare that the
railroad blockade is largely responsible
for the situation. Potatoes are now
81 per peck, with pork chops selling
at 35 cents per pound and they may
go higher today.
Milk producers have also boosted
prices and ice dealers have declared
that prices will mount higher. TIL.
coal situation is the worst and many
small cities are vainly seeking sup
plies of fuel. In several towns the
light and power plants may be COM
pelled to close owing to the lack OF
fuel. Chicago power plants have a
supply sufficient to last thirty days.

WIFE AND SMALL
CHILDREN ARE
DESERTED
Officers Are Looking for
Ben Campbell, Who Left
the Valley for Yuma.

Some time today it is expected that
Ben Campbell, native Of Arkansas,
will be arrested and charged with de-
serting his wife and six children.
Campbell left his family at Holtville
yesterday, taking three horses and a
wagon, and left over the sandhill road
for Yuma. Local authorities have
&C mmunicated with, Sheriff Greenleaf
at Yuma and requested that Campbell
be held for Imperial county prosecu-
tion.
The Campbell family came to I'M
perial Valley from Goldfield, travelling
the entire distance by wagon. The
children range from month to 13
years of age and poverty is depicted
in the garments and features Of all.
Il is considered one Of the most vex-
ing problems that local officers have
lad to contend with in years.
When Campbell deserted his family
in Holtville he took with him So
the entire supply of cash-leaving his
wife and six children to be taken care
of by hospitable people. Officers in
Foltville succeeded in making up a
small purse for the unfortunate peo-
pie and they were brought to Ell Cen
tro, where Probation Officer A. W..
Swanson is endeavoring to provide
quarters and sustenance until some
plan may be devised to permanently
care for them.
Mrs. Campbell is anxious to secure
employment, but it is almost next to
an impossibility for a woman with
a nursing child to do much of any
thing but care for the six children.
