VALLEY TO LOSE
'LAGUNA FOREST,
FORESTRY THREAT

L. E. Marshall, one of the owners Of
Hulburd grove near Laguna National
Forest and a booster for this ideal
summer park for Imperial Valley peo-
pie, was in the city yesterday and
stated that the forest service had in
formed him that the rights and priv
ileges accorded to valley people during
the summer months would be with
drawn unless the people Of the valley
show their appreciation of the summer
playground this summer to a larger
extent than heretofore.
Washington is not satisfied with
the popularity of the reserve" Mr..
Marshall says the forestry service Of
ficial put the matter to him.
There are 500 plats in the forest
suitable for summer homes and to
date but 60 of them have been leased
under the leasing privileges granted
by the government.
The government has expended be-
tween $4,000 and S75, 1000 in cleaning
up the floor of reserve. in building
and developing roads and in finding
suitable water and this has not beer
generally used by the people of the
valley.
The reserve has been growing il
popularity each summer, but tn,
| Washington officials seem to think i
should become popular more rapidly.

S.P. AGENT TELLS
cant" SECRETS

Cultivating cantaloupes is not exact
ly a simple process as so many seem to
think. Agent w. G. Eaton of Brawley
says that more than sunshine and good
soil are needed even in Imperial Valley
to ripen cantaloupes by the latter part
of May. Says Mr.. Eaton
'In order to produce this early crop
considerable labor and expense are me-
cessary. First, only the finest Of land
is selected, that which is of a rather
sandy loan and very rich. Land that
has been devoted to alfalfa for a num-
ber Of years is almost always desirable.
This is prepared by plowing in the late
summer and then again in the early
winter months. 1t is then worked down
into fine loose condition and then it is
ready to be worked up into bed, which
is n sort of a ridge rounded Off and
about eight feet wide. This ridge near
" always runs east and west so that
seed can be planted on the south side
in order to get the direct rays OF the
sun and be protected from cool winds.
The seed is planted in January and
February and each hill is covered with
a piece of wax paper Is inches by Is
inches shaped up like small tent,
which acts as an individual hothouse
over each hill and is left there until the
young plant shows about five leaves at
which time it is taken off and the regu
lar cultivation such as is given in any
locality, begins.
planting is in full swing now and
estimates of acreage for this crop are

including the belief that it was done by
enemies of the management, believers
of law and order, or men who were re-
vengeful because of the fact they had
not secured gambling concessions
No Reason Known
Il cannot venture reason for the
fire, or for the slashing of the hose" de-
clared Mr.. Coburn this morning.
At the fire Mr. Coburn, hatless, coat
less, with his vest wide open. excitey
directed the work of saving as much
of the Owl games and tables as posSi-
BILE.
Jose Flores, member of the Mexicali
police force, made his way to the line
with a large sum of money taken from
the tops of the tables, and when he ar
rived on this side of the line an Ameri-
can sought to seize it, with his arrest
resulting.
Huge Sums of Cash
Late last night, possibly IL o'clock,
watchers on the line witnessed sight
such as it has been the privilege of few
to witness. Automobiles and truck
loads of silver and gold paper money
and bank checks more than 700 pounds
for safe keeping! The amount constitut-
ed a fortune This morning the man.
agement announced that all books of
the company had been saved as well as
all the money with the exception of a
few dollars.
Hundreds of men rushed to the line
when the fire started and by showing
their passports were allowed to cross
and assist in quenching the blaze which
had burned itself out by 8 o'clock
Liquor Saved
The famous "dugout" in the rear of
the building which is housing S273,0O0
worth of liquor was undamaged Like
wise the other buildings at the rear of
the theatre We're saved.
Camera men, representatives of press
associations and others We're soon ON

But one movie camera was IN operation
and as the operator of this attempted to
move to a new set he tripped and went
flat in the mud.
Imperial Valley press., 1920-02-10

The first alarm of the fire was given
by an excited Chinaman who ran
among the crowded gambling tables OF
the theatre and shouted "Fire, Fire"
He had been on the second floor of the
building at the rear and had seen the
fire and smoke. issuing from one of the
musicians rooms.
Alarm is misunderstood
At the height of the evening when
hundreds of people in the immense
by from six to two dozen people, the
crowd took the cry of the Chinese for
Fight, Fight" and made wild rush
for the doors.
During the melee it is said several
people attempted to. seize the money
on the tables and several shots We're
fired. Last evening it was reported
that three people were shot by MeXi-
can police. when they attempted TO
make away with the money, but this is
still unverified.
Thousands Of dollars We're on the
tables when the alarm was sounded.
Musicians Stick to Posts
Manager Sid Coburn of the theatre,
ordered the musician to stick to their
posts and above the roar of the advanc-
ing flames could be plainly heard the
strains of the famous Owl orchestra.
The orchestra did not leave the building
until the flames We're licking their
way into the main game room.
Some of the gambling tables, includ-
ing the roulette tables We're saved and
