RISING SUN AERIAL SERVICE
Government Mail Plane Forced t.
Land There by Storm

Rising Sun vicinity had quite an
honor conferred upon it last week
when one Of the government mail
planes descended near that point. Not,
however, from choice, as the big birds
only stop at one point between Chica-
go and Observation-Disclosures. Pilot
Garrison lost his bearings IN storm
and was forced to land. His plane was
somewhat damaged in landing, and an
assistant came from Lacrosse with
repairs on Friday. The mail was TAX
en- on to Minneapolis by train. A few
days before, one Of the planes missed
Lacrosse in a storm and landed at
Holman.

S. P. MAY ROUTE
TRAINS THIS WAY

The talk of the Southern Pacific
running it's through transcontinental
trains. one each way daily, through
Ell Centre, Calexico and Old Mexico,
heard at frequent intervals in the
past year or two, has been revived,
but so far as local railway officials
have been advised no conclusion has
been reached.
The two trains referred to carry a
great deal of tourist business, and
a trip by the most southerly route,
with its scenic attractions, especially
as the coast section is reached, is one
that great many tourists would pre-
fer, especially in the winter months.
It is pointed out, as one of the rea-
sons why the Southern Pacific Off
cials have not favored the change
more heartily, that the distance be-
tween the coast and the eastern points
is greater through Ell Centre and Mex
leo, and that the increased distance
means the addition of about one and
half hours to the running time of
each of the trains. With the public
demanding a decrease rather than an
increase, in running time, this is
matter to be considered.
This loss of time, it is stated, would
be incurred between INLAND and Yuma.
BY the present route, the distance
from INLAND TO Yuma is 65 miles, and
the train makes but few stops.
Through +. @en:ro the distance is 100
miles, with many towns where stops
would be cpmt,,talsOry

ADDITION TODAY

Residence Park, new addition to
the city of Ell Centre, will be opened
today. The site Of the new addition
is that recently plated by Dickinson
e Gillespie of Minneapolis, promoters
and developers Of city subdivisions.
1t is situated OH Holt and Tenth
| streets adjoining the high school
grounds.
The lots are staked off in liberal
sizes, and the wide streets are marked
with attractive street signs.
| The First National bank will at
{ tend to the business of making col
iections from buyers after the sale.
The addition office is in tent on
the lots, where representatives of
the company are stationed during the
day and evening as long AS the sale
lasts. The downtown office is at 534
Main street.
The firm which is presenting to the
public the new addition has been in
this business for ID years, and is still
operating on its original plan. 1t has
sold an average OF 1000 lots year
in various cities throughout the coun-
try.
The lots in the Residence Park ad-
dition will be sold on their merits as
sites for homes and as Investments.
The original selling plan of the
firm commends the purchase of lots
upon the easy terms of S. a month
with no charge OF interest during the
first year. The plan is not a lottery
promoters say, nor is anything given
away, but every lot is sold at bar
! ac1 ,,1o, of
to everybody. Every lot is tagged
with the price and terms so that
everybody can see what he is buying
and know what he is paying for it.
Lots are sold on the ground while
they last, and the rule is the first
come the first served.
The company has sold lots in record
breaking time-300 having been sold
in Minneapolis in single day. An
other instance is Of the disposal of
| 214 lots n ten hours, and on many
other occasions from 100 to 300 lots
have been sold in from one to three
days, and at many sales a great many
people have been disappointed in not
getting to the lots before they were
all gone.
Mr.. Gillespie, who arrived in Ell
Centre yesterday, was asked how he
happened to select Ell Centro as a
field in which to operate, stated
"After having carefully estimated
population figures and percentage
and the rapid strides that Ell Centro
is making, and which are very ap-
parent, l came to the conclusion that
not only was Ell Centro growing in
population and Importance but that
there must be a spirit Of cooperation
among it's citizens, for their civic
pride is very evident; and from the
looks. their admirable little city, with
prosperity of the valley. one does not
have to look far into the future to see
plair' that Ell Centro is the nucleus
of not only one of the most beautiful
but one of the biggest little cities in
the u. S. A

.SALTON SEA FOOT
H|sHER FROM RAIN

INLAND. March 3.-Just 13 years
ago. March, 1907, the wild waves of
the Colorado were harnessed after
thrilling runaway to the Salton Sea,
since which time the peculiar body of
water has been steadily receeding at
the rate of around half mile or less
per year. Thirteen years ago the
waters of the Salton Sea were 7G feet
deep. Now it is around 30 feet at
maximum depth but strangely enough
it has. during the last wek shown a
rise Of one foot and has extended back
over land that has been dry for a year
in some places.
The cause of the rise in the Salton
Sea has nothing to do with the flood
ed Colorado that is now requiring such
close attention but comes from the
rains Of week ago. For three days
it rained steadily throughout Imperial
valley and this water is now reaching
the sea. Scientists predict that in
another ten years the sea will stop
receding because of the fact that there
will be sufficient water pouring into
it from waste irrigation waters used
by Imperial valley and from the rains.
Their best laid, plans and prophecies
will be doomed to disappointment if
the rainfall continues to increase in
the valley as it has during the winter
now passing.
So far the homesteaders along the
sea have not become unduly alarmed
at the prospect of the Colorado break
ing through the Volcano levee. not at
the rise from the rainfall but thev
