STRONG MARKET
T 0 R ALFALFA
THROUGH STATE
Short Supply and Brisk De.
mand for HaU,' lrith Marked
AdUancc in Price

The weekly market letter Of the
California Alfalfa Growers Exchange
is an optimistic one and is har.in-
ger of good times ahead for the pro-
ducer. 1t says:
The market for alfalfa hav during
the week was strong in all parts of
the statef There is a very good gen.
eral demand in central as we'll as To-
cal markets. which promptly absorb
receipts at full prices. even though
these arrivals are pretty heavy, as
was the case last week in Los An
geles.
Consumption of baled alfalfa al
ways shows an increase at this time
of the year, the winter season, but
this year the increase seems to be
more marked than usual. One of the
causes is undoubtedly the fact of
smaller stocks than usual being car
ried by dealers and users lin addition
to this, there seems to be an increase
in the consumption of milk and cream
in the centers Of population all over
the state. Part of this is undoubted-
ly the result of the vigorous growth
in population of the large and also
many of the smaller cities, and in ad-
dition to this there also seems to be
permanent per capita increase in
the consumption of milk, cream, etc.
Another outstanding feature of the
present situation, in view of the COM
paratively small reserve supplies car
ried by dealers and users, are the low
stocks in the hands of growers in
most of the important producing and
shipping districts, which at the same
time have a considerable local mar
ket. In several Of these districts
growers now receive the same prices
on the ranch which their hay would
bring at present in the central mar
kets; that is, up to Sc pef ton above
the shipping parity of central mar
kets.
1t is very probable that these dis
tricts, instead of shipping any more
of their hap to central markets, will
have to ship in some toward the end
of the present crop year.
The alfalfa situation in Nevada,
which during summer looked hopeless
for the growers there, and which for
some time caused many California
dealers and growers to fear a COM
plete decentralization of our markets,
has been improving steadily since
about two months ago, when the
growers commenced to organize, and
it is now in pretty good shape. Ow-
ing to the lack of rain there, the home
consumption for the feeding of cattle
and sheep has increased considerably;
this, combined with much improved
shipping demand, stiffened up
prices considerably and they are now
pretty we'll in line with those of Cali
fornia.
The lack of rainfall is commencing
to also make itself felt in many parts
of California.
There We're 1850 tons of grain and
alfalfa hay received on the Los An
geles tracks the week ending Nov.
10, with carry over of $50 tons.

"A \ S
An All-Star Lineup Will Be
Presented by Ell Centro
and HOltville Next Sum
day Afternoon =

When the Ell Centre and Holtville
baseball clubs meet for their first
game of the season in the Valley
league at Holtville on Thanksgiving
day, the fans of this district will no
doubt witness one of the hardest
fought battles seen in several years.
Both clubs are now rounding into
excellent shape, each being confident
of victory in this big game. We find
that by the playing of both clubs dur
ing the past two games they are GO
ing to be strong contenders for the
pennant. The Ell Centro club was a
little late in starting, but they have
won the last two games played,
which proves that they are now begin
ming to hit their stride in the race.
The Holtville club, which has play
ed but two games, have proved by
their great work that they have high
class club. Holtville was defeated on
last Sunday by Calexico by score of
g to O., only after having all the
breaks of the game against them,
however. 1t is said by many fans
present at the game that Holtville
has club which is equally as strong
las Calexico.
In doping out the two fast clubs
which will meet Thanksgiving Day.
we find both clubs we'll fortified with
stars of the diamond. In the Ell Gen.
tro, lineup we find Billings, who is
rated as one Of the best receivers in
the big league, and Joyce, who comes
from the st. Louis club, with which
he has just finished a big year. FL
Centro was very lucky to secure such
a remarkable man as a playing man.
ager. Then there is Cooper, who is
going at great pace on the slab and
is one of the best beavers on the
coast. His wonderful work won
pennant for Yakima in the P. l.
league during the past season, and his
latest feat was that of pitching a no.
hit, no-run game against Imperial
last Sunday. There is no doubt that
his classy work will finish Ell Centre
first or second in the valley league
this winter.
Another star on the local club is
Lindmore, who played the past sea-
son with Los Angeles Coast League
club.
Thompson, who covers the key
sack, is wonderful young ball play
err. His work during the past four
games has been very clever. and he
will no doubt go to fast company next
season. Other local stars on the Ell
Centre roster is Buck, Jacket, Kirk
land and Seagle.
In the Holtville lineup we find
many minor league stars. Johnson,
who is one of the best young pitchers
in the business, PLAYED the past sea-
son with Portland and Santa Maria.
He is speed merchant with good
curve ball and lots Of control. john
son is hard man to beat, as his
work against Calexico last Sunday
shows. He held that hard hitting
club to only five hits and in only one
inning were they able to put a run
across the plate on him. Frome, who
does the receiving, was with the Tul-
sa club in the Western league this
season. Frome is one of the best

BAD GUN MAN

gus Check Charge

Out at the Ell Centro hospital City
Marshal Henderson Dizney, of I'M
perial, is lying seriously wounded by
bullets from the gun of bandit, and
the brush of the desert is man
known as j. d. Bryer, who did the
shooting, with a Gordon of deputies
and police slowly dragging in on him.
Marshal Dizney was shot shortly
after 6:3O o'clock last night while
he was trying to effect the arrest of
Bryer on a bad check charge. A
short half hour previous Dizney re-
ceived a warrant for the arrest of
Bryer on the charge Of passing a fic-
titious check in the sum Of SIS. He
readily found the man and informed
him Of the charge. Bryer admitted
passing the check, but stated that
there must be a mistake and asked
permission to go and get the money
to make it good.
Marshal Dizney, knowing the man
we'll from having seen him in and
around Imperial for several months,
permitted him to go for twenty min
utes, the length of time he said it
would take to secure the amount and
make the check good.
A half hour having passed and Bry-
er not having turned up, the officer
hunted him up again and informed
him that he was under arrest. With
out word Bryer showed his hand in
to his side coat pocket and drew a
revolver and leveling it at Dizney
fired rapidly three shots. all of
which took effect. One shot entered
the marshal's left breast. second
took effect in the side of his face
and the third passed through his
hand.
As Dizney fell to the ground from
the effects of the shots, Bryer turn
ed and ran away in the darkness. He
was traced to the railroad yards and

Marshal Dizney was given emer-

the shooting and was then rushed in
an ambulance to the Ell Centre hos
pital. His condition this afternoon is
satisfactory, according to DR.. Thomp-
son, the surgeon in charge, and he is
in no danger unless complications
from his wounds set in.
In the meantime Sheriff c. M. Ap-
plestill was notified of the shooting
and with Undersheriff Harry Barker
began the pursuit of the bandit.
More than forty officers were has
