ROMANTIC HISTORY OF OLD EHRENBERC

Fifty years ago there sprang up, like thousand mushroom towns that characterized the west after the rail roads linked it to the already estab- lished east, a booming mining center that held in its daily life all the rich ness, the depravity, the crudeness. and the ineradicable picturesqueness that is attached to the history of the van ished frontier-Ehrenburg, once a refuge for 5000 pioneer souls, now is but crumbling mass of adobe in the Arizona sun.
 The traveller, making a slight de- tour as he follows the southern high way, glimpses its sandy skeleton blocked vividly against the blue sky. But he does not ayways know that once, within those same nondescript walls, lived the church, the school, and the homes of men and women who formed a fierce and gay little city that died, as they themselves, when the vivid spirit waned.
 To see, to feel, and to love the his 1 tory of such landmark of the old West is the experienced of Jesus Dan- iels, and it is from this familiar pioneer of the southwest that much of the material for this account is gleaned. Thirty years resident of l the place, MT. Daniels is indeed an historian to whom one may turn for uncolored annals of Ehrenberg's bril- liant days.
 Upon the fall of La Paz rose the success of Ehrenberg. La Paz, which was the most important of the two cities, was started about 1860, and for ten years flourished with the phen- omenal growth that has attended the entire development of the west. At one time it was even the capital of Arizona, but the government finally ordered the citizens to evacuate, as it was in tn Parker, Ariz., Indian reser- vation slimits. It was then that the La Paz populace moved to Ehren- burg, illustrating the rapidity with which western cities took root and bloomed. Founded in 1870, Ehren- berg increased to 5000 inhabitants by 1872-73. .@
 Some of Ehrenberg's business men and their descendants are known to pioneers of the Palo Verde Valley, and there are residents of Blythe and other valley towns who recall no little of Ehrenberg history themselves. The most important business men were Goldwater Brothers, who con ducted general store, Jack Swartz, proprietor of one of the leading sa- looms, and Abe Frank, brother-in-law of Jesus Daniels, who conducted a general merchandise business, ran a |boarding house and was also the post master of the town. In it's palmy days Ehrenberg boasted two large blacksmith shops that -fattened on the then profitable business of the stage coach lines. ..... ?. When Abe Frank moved to Yuma in 1883, he sent his brother-in-law, MT. Daniels, to take his place in the

At the time Blythe began to settle

AL tne Clme BlyChe began Co settle there were still three saloons in Eh- renberg. For quite a while these few remnants of the better days were the only props in the little towns tagging existence, and when the state of Ari- zona went dry, they too closed, fore ing the few remaining inhabitants to move across the river to Blythe.
 Ehrenberg's history is a represen- tative story of many a settlement in the West, whose suspicious location in rich mineral field gave it quick life and quick death.
 As one wanders through the de- serted city today, one wonders that a community so favorably regarded for a decade could be so utterly deserted. Every year adds to it's measure of loneliness to the place and strips the remaining walls of some relic of olden times. No so long ago the treasure seeker might have gathered enough discarded household articles to set up a living place. A short time ago one found a roulette wheel still intact, orderly rows of seats in the old school house, and the picturesque walls of the two Catholic churches festively decorated in palm fronds and brightly hued pictures of the saints.
 Today as one roams among the de- serted walls, one finds only the vel lowed page of lost account book, the battered metal of scales. or the rotting round of a chair. The pas

At hand, the cemetery, that is filled with graves whose weather beaten markers bear faint Spanish inscriptions and whose forms are piled high with stones to barricade the coyotes prowling, offers mute testimony of gay lives, many of which were cut short by swift and revengeful weapons.
 Ehrenberg remains a sightseeing place for the unsuitable tourist, and it is indeed one of the most profitable and deeply interesting one that the Southwest has to offer-The Blythe, Cal, Evening Review.

Poetic

, When Alice Smith had attained the age of sixteen she undertook to alter the orthography of her given name to what, it seemed to her, was more poetic form. Accordingly, she bcgGr to sign herself Alyce. Thus designat- ed she entered new school and, of course, the first question put to her was with reference to her name.
 "Alyce Sm'i h., she said. "A-l-yc-e."
 "Thanks," said the teacher. "And how are you spelling Smith now?'- Philadelphia Ledger.

TOPICS OF WALL STREET.
Buying Investment stocks.

The arrival of the semi-annual inter-
est period and the recent decline In
money rates has brought about rather
heavy demand for preferred stocks and
for the better grade of so-called invest
ment common stocks. For a long time
those issues were more or less in the
doldrums and by neglect rather than by
persistent selling they were allowed TO
slide down to levels which seemed
mighty cheap to some bargain hunters.
In the last few days. however, there
has been a gradual and steady improve
ment, indicating the methodical pur-
chasing movement. Steel preferred,
which only last Monday sold at l05s4
touched 1O91s yesterday, while Standard
Oil of New Jersey, which sold on Mon
day at l05B. touched yesterday 1V1h.
The July interest payments will release
considerable funds for reinvestment and
in investment circles continued stiff
ening of investment issues is antici-
pated.
