GOAT COLONY TO
Be ESTABLISHED

RIVERSIDE, Calf, Aug. Or. Y.
Hampton, representing syndicate of
Portland, Oregon has arrived here to
inspect land for leasing as a goat
range.
lie has applied to the forest bureau
of the Department of Interior at
Washington, d. c. he said, for lease
of $4,000 acres in the San Jacinto
mountains, in Riverside county.
The plan, he said, was to begin with
5000 goats and the hope they would
increase to 10000 in five or six years.
The thickness of the brush in the Ore
gon forests, he said, caused the syndi-
cate to look to Southern California.
The goats, he declared, became en-
tangled in the undrebrush of the north
and starved to death.

Make Ends Meet.
COOPERATION OF
THE RIGHT SORT
Facts and Figures Show
Right Way to Larger
Profits for Producers in
Imperial Valley. o

Notwithstanding, an increase in the
world-fxed price of butter fat during
the past two years that should have
brought prosperity to every dairyman
that total production of butter-fat in
California during 1918 was nearly
9,OO0, 900 pounds less than in any prev
ious year.
The chief reason for this as shown
by reports to the California Dairy
Council, a cooperative organization
formed to help all dairymen is that
out of 100000 dairy cows in Califor-
MIA probably as many as 85 per cent
of them do not return to their owners
any more than the cost of roughage
and possibly half of these do not do
even that. This estimate that there are
only $4,000 money-making cows in the
State is based an average production
for each cow in the State of 10 pounds
of butter-fat.
Most of these money-losing cows
are in districts near to the great
markets Way up in the northwest
corner of the State, several hundred
miles from the centers of population
is Humboldt county where the aver
age of butter-fat produced per cow
is near if not quite double the general
average for the State; where the
dairymen are so prosperous that it is
difficult to buy any of its limited
area of dairy land at any price.
If the Sacramento banker who, un-
der the pretense of disinterested
friedship, has split the dairy interests
of the State into hostile camps were
a true friend to the dairymen he would
have used some Of the millions has
has made out of the farmers by assist
ing them to increase the average pro-
duction of butter-fat in the Sacra-
mento and San Joaquin valleys. He
could have done the dairymen Of his
section millions Of dollars worth of
good by arousing them to double their
very low production of butterfat.
. Dairymen in Humboldt county turn !
ed deaf ears to the siren call of the |
though they are, They want to make
more money. They intend to make
more money. They have co-opera-
tive association which has brought |
them to their present prosperity. They
are cooperating with the California !
Dairy Council to still further increase /
their production and reduce their cost.
The Humboldt Dairy Association has
pledged itself to put every herd i'll
Humboldt county into a COW testing

ty 100 per cent pure bred sires.
Imperial valley has natural advan
tages over Humboldt county, and be-
cause of these natural advantages
should make more money for dairy
men. All that is needed here is the
kind of cooperation that is to be-
found in Humboldt county to make
Imperial county the most prosperous
dairy center in the world.

DISTRICT ATTY.
INVESTIGATING
LEASES WHICH
v OR TILL ESS'
Business Lease Holders at
Jacumba Springs find that
Turner's Leases are Not
e Valid.
MATTER REPORTED
TO DISTRICT ATTY.
Ten Year Leases on Business
Property are Said to be
Worthless by Owner of
Jacumba Springs.

Lease holders of business property
at Jacumba Springs woke up on the
morning of August and found that
the ten year leases which Lee Turner
former leasee, from Nat l. Titus,
the owner, were not worth the paper
they were written on.
Several Of the Turner lease holders
were in Ell Centre yesterday in order
to ascertain just what could be done
to protect themselves and the leases
which Turner had signed with them.
The matter was reported to the office
of the district attorney, who is in
vestigating the affair with probable
charges of obtaining money under
false pretense hanging over Turner's
head.
Since the Fourth Of July when Tur-
ner and his associates staged cele-
bration at the springs, following which
Turner is alleged to have run away
with the entire gate receipts, leaving
his co-owrkers in the enterprise hold
ing the sack, many complaints or risky
financial ventures of Turner's have
been heard in the valley.
The lease on the mountain property
which Turner held expired on the first
of this month and the owners took
possession at that time. Only one or
two of the business men at the springs
are secured in their leases as these
men leased their holdings direct from
Titus, before the place was turned
over to Turner.
Before the Fourth of July celebra-
ton, preparations were made by Tur-
ner and his associates for a record
breaking crowd and it is said that Tur-
ner in expectation of reaping an i'm
mense harvest at the celebration, pass
ed out several mo funds" checks and
went heavily in debt for merchandise
and equipment to be used at the
springs at the time of the celebration.
When the celebration fizzled out
and the number of people who stayed
at the springs over the Fourth, con-
stituted only one tenth of the number
anticipated, Turner, it is stated, got
cold feet and beat it to San Diego,
taking with him all available cash
and reporting that he was convalesc-
ing from nervous shock in San
Diego sanitorium.
Word was brought to the valley
short time afterward, when the
tradespeople and others were clamor-
ing for their money that, Nat l. Titus
of San Diego, had agreed to make
good all of the checks and outstanding
bills against Turner and the springs.
This fact was accepted for its face
value and the creditors of Turner
. awaited patiently for the day when
Titus would make good their ac
counts.
Titus was seen in San Diego and alb
sOlutely denied that he had ever made
such statement and refused absolute
r3u n be held accountable for Turner's
debts.
Turner, as far as is known is still
in San Diego, and no information has
been received in the valley that he
ever returned here or ever made good
any of his checks or debts.
Just what action will be taken on
the leases is not known but the mat
ter has been referred to the district
attorney who is investigating the af-
fair. Vt-tIi.ti..i IL In
