One of the most Significant re-
ports received here at a late hour

quest to the War Department IN

Prices for STABLE Products

Optimism is growing with Imperial

Here they are: The increase in price
for hogs WHICH have risen in the val
ley. at leas, 40 per cent in the last
ten days; Pima or long staple cotton
which is being sought at a price of "a
cents against no market at 30 cents
six weeks ago: barley which is hover
ing around 81 after lingering in mid
season at 80 cents; milo maize which
is showing strength although this is
the off season; the favorable turn to
the big ,$6.000,000 cantaloupe crop;
the increase in rental prices of lands
from standard of around $40 and
little demand to $27. so, and even to
$35 in some cases; the, much more
stabe irrigation situation; the pro-
liability of getting the Boulder Canyon
project under way at an early date;
the increased aeeage and large net re-
turns on grapes and figs, although as
yet comparatively small crops. All
these things have tended to bring a

GET THEIR BONUS
(By Associated Press)

OLYMPIA, Wash, Aug. 2.-Pay-
ments of the cash bonus voted by the
state of Washington for the world war
veterans will be completed some time
in September. it is believed.
Each Washington resident who
served in the army. navy or marine
corps is being paid $15 for each month
of service. Already more than $7,000,-
900 has been paid out and there is ap-
proximately $3.000,O00 left to pay.
Approximately 10000 claimants
have been paid to date and additional
payments are being made at the rate
of 430 day. Thus far, $4,000 form
er soldiers. sailors and marines have
filed claims for the tonus.
Originally the people voted $11 ,000,-
900 for the bonus but it is now believed
the sum will not be sufficient and
state Officials are trying to devisoe
some way to raise the additional sum
so that no veteran will be required to
wait until the legislature meets again
in the fall of 1923.
