COLORADO RIVER
FROM A|RPLANE
Ch0s. Queens. Takes Air Trip
from CalericO OUer Valley,
Will DraU Big Map of Col
OrddO and Imperial Valley
Basin.

CALEXICO, March 13.-Prelimin-
airy to drawing a relief map of the
Colorado river basin and its present
and prospective development, Charles
H. Owens, Americas noted topograph-
ical artist. made a remarkable trip by
airplane day before yesterday start
ing from CaleXico. Mr.. Owens viewed
the country from an altitude of 2OOO
to 5000 feet on both sides of the river
from the Gulf of California north over
the boundary line. thence to Yuma
and the Gila river country and over
much of the country irrigated by the
river in the Imperial valley and Ari-
Zona.
The dav was one of the clearest for
years. There was no haze and Mr..
Owens was able to see long distance
in every direction. After returning
from flight of one hour and 40 min
utes Mr.. Owens said he had obtained
much better and greater comprehen-
sion of the entire region, although he
has already made a study of the Col
orado river project.
Mr.. Owens was impressed with his
view of the big river, whose source
is far north in a region of perpetual
snow, and the contiguous lands, which
have been made the most productive
on earth by the application of the
waters of the river. He also noted
with interest other basin lands, which
are now ronproductive, but which will
be cultivated when the river is har-
messed.
Upon his return to Los Angeles
yesterday Mr.. Owens began work on
a map to show the Colorado river, the
basin lands, present development and
how the waters of the river. controlled
and put to work. will serve communi-
ties of several states. The Colorado
river project is regarded as the great
est constructive enterprise now before
the people of this country. Engineers
| figures show that the river controlled
can provide water enough to irrigate
100000 acres of land and will de-
velope many time as much power as
the total now developed west of the
Rocky mountains.

JACUMBA HOT
SPRINGS LOTS
PLACED ON SALE
Messrs. Vauch and Wegeman
are Spending More Than
Quarter of q Million in I'M
prOUments on Popular VAL
ley Resort: TOWnsite Laid
Out.

Announcement of the beginning of
sales of Jacumba Hot Springs town
lots is made in this issue of The Press.
The owners of the Jacumba property,
Messrs. Vaughn and Wegeman, have
subdivided 40 acres of their holdings
into lots averaging 40x100 feet, and
are offering the property through
their Imperial valley agents, Greer
Bachman Co., the local realty dealers,
to residents of the valley for summer
home sites.
Jacumba is rapidly becoming a city
in the mountains. Messrs. Vaughn
and Wegeman are spending more than
$25O,OOO in improvements on the
property. New buildings seem to
spring up over night, and nearly every
line of mercantile business already is
represented in the popular resort
town. A magnificent all-year hotel
entirely constructed of granite will be
the center of many big improvements
already under construction and being
planned. The hotel construction will
be commenced as soon as sufficient
material can be assembled on the
ground to keep the workmen going.
Among the other big improvements
now under construction are a concrete
swimming pool. which will be the
largest enclosed pool in California.
The building plans call for glass
enclosure for the winter months,
which can be readily taken down dur
Ing the summer thus converting the
pant INTO an open air pool. The ma
tural hot springs supply the necessary
water on the ground. and it is tenn
pered by the flo wfrom the cold
springs. A constant runoff insures
the best of sanitary conditions.
Above the swimming pool big con-
crete reservoir has been constructed.
This will store fresh spring water for
domestic purposes. From the reser-
vOir the water will be delivered by
gravity to the middle of the street in
front of each lot, and the purchasers
of lots will be furnished free water
flor all domestic purposes for three
years from date of purchase. In addi-
tion to the free supply of cold water
each lot purchaser virtually becomes
a part owner of the hot mineral
springs, for they are guaranteed a
perpetual supply of the proved medi-
cal waters as long as nature con-
tinues to operate the hundreds Of
boiling springs on the tract.
\ Another unit in the water system of
the town will be a beautiful artificial
lake, which is to be constructed on
the forty acres adjoining the tract
now subdivided on the west. Both
fortys front south on the paved
highway. This work is to be rushed
as soon as the material and labor can
be obtained. Boating, bathing and

swimming will be the amusements on

The new paved highway is complet-
ed nearly to Jacumba and work on
widening and eliminating blind turns
on the Mountain Springs grade has
been started. A standard road of a
minimum width of 20.5 feet will be
constructed all the way up the noun
tains; many steep points in the grade
will be eliminated, and it will be pos
sible to drive from any point in the
valley in less time than at present and
over "fool proof" highway. The
new S. D. & A. railway stops all
trains at Jacumba. The combination
of paved highway and railway offers
transportation facilities unexcelled
between any points in Southern Cal
ifornia.
The realty firm expects to make a

the tract. There are only 352 lots to
be sold and the local realty dealers
believe the valley should absorb them
in very short time after the selling
campaign commences.

SUMMARY OF WEATHER AND
CROP CONDITIONS IN IDAHO

The week ending Tuesday, June /,
1920 was cold, dry, and windy-too
cold and too dry for normal crop de-
velopment. There was abundant
sunshine but this favoring factor was
| not enough to overcome the detri-
mental effects of other conditions not
so favorable. Frost occurred on
several nights but was most severe
on the molning of May &c and again
on June l. The former damaged
apples and prunes as we'll as garden
and truck crops, in the Payette,
lower Boise, and Snake Valleys the
damage done by the latter extended
into the middle and upper Boise val
ley and into tie counties of eastern
Idaho. Potatoes in the Deerflat dis
trict were frozen back in some fields
while other fields escaped injury
Both alfalfa and clover were frosted
in spots. The extent of the damage
by frost is not yet fully known but
reports indicate that the damage
done will not materially reduce pro-
duction Of fruit or potatoes.
The cool weather prevailing was
not unfavorable for the cereals,
which for the most part made quite
satisfactory progress. Wheat is gen.
orally looking fine. The several
cereal crops are in all stages of
growth.
The growth of alfalfa and pastures
and range grasses is greatly retarded
by the drying winds, but alfalfa har-
vest has begun in few scattered To-
calities of tie lower Boise-Payette
valley. The range in Gilmore and
Adams counties is backward by rea-
son of cold and lack of moisture, but |
in Bannock, Bear Lake, and Camas |
counties moisture conditions have |
been more favorable during the
spring and the range is in good con-
dition, especially in Bannock county
where it is the best in years.
Corn is up TO good stand in many
fields and cultivation has begun. The
plants look pale and yellow and are
in need of warmth to promote more
rapid growth Beet seeding is gen.
orally about completed. Cultivation
and thinning are under way in the
early planted fields. The plants are
growing slowly on account of the
cold.
Most farm work is well in hand
but warmer weather is needed to
bring crop advance up with the
season.

Another thing that candidates are

or the address or part of it, with the
result that the paper cannot be de-

Gently received copy of army gen.

actioxeneir son, Captain Stewart w.
eHoover, who was killed in action
in the Toul sector, France, March
l, 1918. Captain Hoover was among
the first American soldiers sent to
France, having joined the 18th in
fantry, 1st division, at New York,
Immediately after short vacation
at his home in Blackfoot. He had
just been graduated from West
Point and received the commission
of second lieutenant.
Captain Hoover was the first West
Point officer to lose his life in the
great war in Europe, and in recogni-
tion of this fact the first American
Legion post formed at the academy
was named for him. The Black
foot post of the Legion also bears
the name of Stewart Hoover.
At the time of Captain Hoover's
death in France his brother Clayton
had just enlisted in the army and
was stationed at Camp Kearney, Cal.
He subsequently went to France with
the 145th field artillery, and is now
attending Stanford university.

1t is quite evident that all aspir-

worth about 100000 votes.

decide who they will be.
Interest is Great
Out in the country and suburban
districts the public mind is largely
centered on the outcome of the race.
The same is true of the city district.
Nearly everyone has favorite can

bring home honor to the many
friends whom she represents as we'll

some cases the entire neighborhood
seems to have risen to the occasion
determined to see that their favorite

False Stories
1t is no doubt natural, with such
an intense interest being shown in
the great race, that some candidates
would attempt to discourage others
by circulating rumors more ingen-
ious than accurate. One hears of
immense vote reserves stored away
to dumbfound participants at the
end, etc. But the tales one hears
are so highly embellished with frills,
so utterly uncomfortable, that their
untruthfulness is readily apparent.
They are deserving of no more con-
sideration and the wise candidate is
too busy to lisetn to them.
The big feature of this club offer
is the great number of second sub
scriptions that are coming in. A great

Mr.. Shoemaker, the missing man,
is believed to be about feet, s

Just before his disappearance,
Shoemaker was married. Since the
recent letters have been received,
relatives have come to the conclu-
sion that Shoemaker has not heard
from either his wife or any other
members Of the family. Both his
father and mother have died dur

also have died, OF which Shoemaker
evidently knows nothing.
