ALL OF Ell CEN7ROAND PART OFCOUN7YAT MELON FEA ST
Francisco EstudilIO
Valley Pioneer Dead

Don Francisco EstudilI0 is dead
He passed out at his home in Ok
ford avenue, Los Angeles, Wednes-
day morning after an illness of
long duration, in his 10th year, full
of honor and beloved by all who
knew him.
Jose EstudillO of CalexicO, a son,
was called to his fathers bedside
by wire, when it was seen that the
end was approaching, and was able
to be there when the venerable man
passed out.
Mr.. EstudillO was born in San
Diego in 1886. AT an early age he
removed to the San JacintO country
where he was the owner of 5000
acres of land, where the city of
Hemet now stands. Some 5000
acres of this land, which is now
worth hundreds of dollars per acre,
he sold for $40 per acre.
Always Mr.. Estudili0 took q
prominent part in public affairs
and he was trusted by all. Fifty
years ago he was made one Of the
Judges Of the Plains on the Teme-
cula Range, and he was the last of
the illustriOus men of those times
to pass away.
He was at one time supervisor
of San Diego county when the I'm
perial Valley was portion of his
jurisdiction and he made friends
and acquaintance of the early set
tiers which endure today through
their families.
Captain Jose Estudillo, the first
Spanish commandment of the Pre-
sidiO of Monterey was his father
and he was related by ties of mar
riage with all of the most prom
inent Spanish families of bygOne
days. The Estudillo family was
composed of IL sons and daughters
and all rose to prominence in the
civic and social life of California,
and particularly the southern see
ton of the state.
Mr.. EstudillO's greatest sphere
of usefulness came when he was
appointed agent of the Mission In
dams in 1898. No official of the
government treated his wards bet
ter and he was wOrshipped by all
of them.

ACOLAR TO Be
TRIED AGAIN ON
MURDER CHARGE
Jury in Girl Staying Case Dis
charged After DeliberatiRg
More Than rs Hours.

After celebrating for more than 16
hours the jury in the Ramon Aguilar
murder case was dismissed this morn
ing when the foreman informed Judge
Cole that the members of the body
were hopelessly disagreed. 1t is un-
derstood that the jury stood nine for
acquittal and three for first degree
murder verdict. Judge Cole reset the
case for trial on September &c.
The defendant, chaged with the
murder of Santos Ortiz, a Is year old
Mexican school girl, was overjoyed
when the disagreement was announced
in tourt, and it was evident that a
great load had been lifted from his
mind.
The case went to the jury about
o'clock yesterday afternoon and it was
not until about / o'clock this morn
ing that the discussion was discon-
tinued by the jurors. AT O'Clock
this morning the jury again took up
the discussion, but were unable to
bring about change of heart on the
part of three of their number and the
report of a disagreement was decided
upon and made to the court shortly
before noon today
The leader of the minority corrob-
GRATED the statement of the jury fore
man, telling Judge Cole that he, per
sonally would never consent to the
finding of verdict as suggested by
the majority, after which Judge Cole
dismissed the jurors.

Travelling Conference of Ex-
,perts Held Yesterday
Vastly Increases Interest
in Grape Growing in I'M
perial Valley.

That large acreage of grapes is
to be set out in the Imperial Valley
during the next two or three years,
and for that reason the growers are
carefully studying the varieties, the
soil and production, was divulged
yesterday at the grape growers trav-
cling conference conducted by the I'M
perial County Farm Bureau. Forty
seven machines were counted by As
sistant Farm Advisor Ray Ellis as the
big party left the Webster ranch, the
third vineyard at the Brawley district
visited.
The series of meetings held was
arranged by Farm Advisor Garth
waite, after discussion with num-
Der of leading growers. At each
vineyard, one or two particular fea-
lures were studied, right in the field.
The itinerary took the party from
Brawley through a dozen vineyards
to Meloland, where Francis Heiny
described the characteristics of soils
adapted to various varieties of
grapes and Horticultural Commission
er F. w. Waite told about standard
ization. During the day strict
schedule was kept and the party per-
sonally conducted.
At the Emil Steiner ranch. south
west of Brawley, Mr.. Steiner told the
excursionists something about the
troubles caused by the leafhoppers.
He has been using nico-dust very sue
cessfully and found it most effective
against the young hoppers, while the
old ones seem to recover after few
hours. BY consistent use, he has kept
the pest to u minimum and will mark
eddy reduce the number for next sea-
son.
Prof. Bioletti, viticulturist for :hc
University of California, eXplaineG
some methods OF dealing with cut
worms, beetles and cinch bugs.
"The Imperial Valley" declared
Prof. Bioletti, "is freer from insect
pests that prey upon the grapes than
any other vineyard district in the
state" He particularly urged the
need of attacking the cut worms, the
beetles and similar pests before they
actually commenced to prey upon the
vines. The use of various nicotine
preparations such as Black Leaf 40,
for spray, for the pests that eat the
leaves and arsenic and syrup mash for
the beetles and cut worms was recon-
mended Strict guarding against the
phyloxera was urged.
The University of California expert
pleaded for uniformity in names of
the grapes. World wide usage should
govern, he said, and he cited the Black
Malaga as an example of one var
iety with a dozen names in the I'M
perial Valley, lending confusion to the
shippers. The Persians he advised
calling by names rather than numbers
and the Zante currant, he asked for
designation as the black currant,

nature, capricious dame at times,
displayed another strange prank
when she robbed Ethel Burner Fish,
aged IL months, OF physical devei-
Ipment but endowed her with
mental development of child much
older.
The child's mind is that of child
OF two years, but her physical de-
velOpment is really less than that
of a six-months old infant. Her
mental strength is all the more no
ticeable because of her dwarfed
body. Little Miss Fish can talk as
well az the ordinary child of two
years and she shows an intelligent
understanding.
She is only % inches tall, which
is the average for babies six
months old. She weighs only nine
pounds. She can take several steps
without falling, and would take
more if the watchful eye of grand
mother, Mrs. Jennie l.. Fish, did
not curtail her efforts.

{ A I en-
Second Annual MelOnfest
Draws Record Crowd
From All Over Valley
Fine Program Given

Ten tons Of delicious wateimelons
and 1000 fine cantaloupes weighing
more than two tons, disappeared as if
by magic before the onslaught Of n
horde of Ell Centre people last night
at the second annual melon feast given
under the auspices of the Ell Centre
Chamber of Commerce in the city
park, and from beginning to end the
affair was a tremendous success and
the source of unbounded pleasure for
the crowd
The great crowd, variously estilaat-
ed at between 5000 and 5000 people,
came early and stayed late, and there
never was a dull moment after the
program was started. Dozens of peo-
pie from Calexico and other valley
towns participated in the affair and
pronounced it one Of the best they had
ever experienced.
Impromptu speeches and music by
Hawaiian musicians from Coronado
as the opening numbers of the pro-
gram, were appreciated by the crow,
but when the signal for the feast Of
luscious melons was given, it seemed
as if the entire population of the city
was in line for a share of the juicy
fruit.
Due to the efforts of the commit
tees the big affair was carried to a
pleasing conclusion without a hitch.
Otto Jeancon was chairman of the pro-
gram committee and received able as
sistance from J. w. Perrins, 0. L.
Davis, DR.. Brockett, Jack Musser, +.
w. Judy, f. w. Vessey, Mr.. Marshall
and J. S. Jones as members of the
grounds, arrangements and other COM
mittees. Seats We're provided by the
Coco Cola company and the Valley
Lumber company. The Imperial Ice &
|. Development company donated l6
tons Of ice with which the melons were
cooled in a car loaned by the Pacific
Fruit Express, after which they were
hauled to the grounds in trucks loaned
by r. f. Cary of the California Gem
trail creameries. Girls from the
creamery plant assisted in serving the
crowd. The piano used by the must
clans was loaned by the McCune Fur
niture company.
One of the pleasing parts of the
program was booster song written
especially for the occasion by Fred
Nobel THAI and sung by the author.
The song elected o storm of applause
and occasioned many favorable COM
mentS from the crowd during the per-
( lod which was devoted to the feast.
