MOURN DEATH OF
LADY OF VALLEY

The many friends of Mrs. Rose
Booher Of this city were shocked to
learn of her death at Avalon, Catalina
Island yesterday. Only two weeks
ago Mrs. Booher, accompanied by
her daughter Beatrice, went to Cata-
lima for a vacation. Soon she was
stricken with an old trouble and after
a ten days illness passed away.
She is survived by her husband,
Alexander Booher, of the Imperial
Valley, three sons, Fay of northern
California, Grant of San Francisco,
Clark of FL Centre, and two daugh-
ters, Mrs. E. Amar of Avalon, and
Beatrice, or Mrs. F. c. Dyer, teacher
in the Ell Centre schools. Most of
the members of her family were with
her in her last illness.
The Boohers were pioneers of the
valley having coming here nearly 20
years ago. They first lived on a
ranch east of Calexico, later moving
to Imperial and three years ago to
/ FL Centre.
/ Mrs. Booher was a woman OF great
energy, of fine character and winning
disposition. A consistent member OF
the Community church of Imperial
she was ever foremost in works OF
charity and good will. Now that she
has gone to her reward there art
many who will rise up to call hel
blessed.

PROCESS TO BE
SHOWN IN BARBARA
WORTH LOBBY


Harry.W. Krotz, former manager
of Varney Brothers, Calexico Store,
will give a demonstration of obtain
ing gasoline from shale in the lobby
of the Barbara Worth hotel here this
evening.
The gasoline is obtained from the
shale by heatin process, and is
not, according to Krotz, a system of
removing gasoline from shale, but of
turning the shale into gasoline.
Krotz says that there. is enough shale
in the nation to more than make up
for the deficiency of the United States
in oil supply, and that by the market
ing of the shale solution to the ever
growing gas problem will be solved.
The system is not, says krotz,> a
new one. For years it has been used
in Scotland, but is practically untried
here. Krotz is certain of the success
of his scheme.

With the passing of L. M. Holt
comes the passing of one of the
makers Of the valley. 1t was he who
gave this valley its name, it was he
who coined the word "Calexico." He
was connected with the first company
to boost Imperial, and his writings
have done much to bring people here
At the age of so years, and after a
life well lived Mr.. Holt has passed
away in Los Angeles. The valley
people can never forget what he has
done, nor can they forget him. The
Press offers to those whom he has
left behind their very deepest SYM
pathy.
The name of Holt is interwined
with the history of the valley. Many
people have confused L. M. Holt and
Leroy and William Holt, with whom
he was not related.

LON GER FIGHTS
IN STATE URGED

When 10 or Is round fights are
again legalized. in California the fans
can expect to see better class of
lighting men than at present. Ore
gon and Washington with their 10
round contests are developing good
men, while the limited four rounds in
California have caused the sport to
Aretrograde, Notwithstanding the fact
chat there are more competitive box
ers in California than ever before.
Many boxers contnd that the four
round game is harder fight than
longer round contests while other
contend that the 20 round fight is
the only decisive limit. On this lat
ter point experts are divided and
one well known eastern fight writer
comes out in support of the 10 round
affairs thusly:
"The idea that 20 round bouts are
more decisive than 10 round affairs
is not aletogether correct. Ten rounds
are ample in which to bring about a
decisive result if the men are willing
to try their hardest. 1t is simply a
matter of regulating the speed ac-
cording to the distance to travel"
This regulating the speed" is just
what makes the four round game so
tough in California. 1t breeds type
of race horse boxer and does not give
the man the opportunity for ring gen
eralship that a 10 round or longer
bout gives. The fast clever boxer is
usually a success at the four round
game once he is up to the ricks, |
whereas the same boxer in longer
route would probably prove a failure.
The real art in long distance boxing
is to make the other fellow do most
of the work, for the moment a boxer
tires he becomes an easy victim. In
the short route of four rounds one
man has to work equally as fast as
his opponent if he wants to win.
There is no question that the short
bout gives the fans plenty of action,
but nevertheless the said fans would
prefer to see the longer affairs. In
when that situation comes |
back in California it should not be
long before some more Jeffries,
Ritchies, Corbetts, Attells, etc. should |
oe produced to put the California !
boxers back in the limelight.
