Nv. F. HOLT BACK IN CITY TELLS OF
new DEVELOPMENT PROJECT in UTAH
Bv c. w. BARTON

The Jefferson Worth of fiction is
Icreating situations for romance per
lhaps more stirring than 1.-The Winning
! of Barbara Worth. -
Ii is all unfolding in a peaceful val
llev of southern Utah where w. +. Holt
lhas brought hope, happiness and pros
Iperitv to a people abandoned to power
ltv and despair and is preparing a dcs-
|crt to become u valley of wonderful
productivity.
W. F. Holt arrived in FL Centre yes
|tcrday afternoon, coming in over the
San Felipe road just for the enjoy
ment of travelling unfrequented trails
and broadening his acquaintance with
|Southeru California. At the Barbara
Worth last night he told the story of
his latest adventure in empire build
ing.
Two or three years ago some persons
with whom Mr.. Holt had had business
dealings, finding themselves unable to
pay, insisted upon deciding to him u
tract of land in Utah as partial COM
pcnsation for the debt which could not
then be otherwise liquidated. On his
way east to visit his aged father in
Missouri, Mr. Holt stopped off to in
spect his new possession and found Il
property excellent enough if it could
only he watered. The thing, however,
which really stirred his interest and
his sympathy was the condition of the
people. Everything had gone badly
with them for long time until they
had quite given up. Those who could
were moving away and the others were
in state of wretched poverty.
Finds Stream of Water
Investigation developed the fact
that there was stream of water with
.run-off enough to irrigate the land of
the valley if the waters could be stored
in season when irrigation is not needed
there. Mr.. Holt had the canyon sur
veyed, bought up the necessary ripar-
ian rights and now has a tiny lmper
ial valley ready to turn over to Il new
people. The people are the same in
dcd, but they have new spirit, new
hope and new resolution, for they now
see prosperity made certain by sup
ply of irrigating water.
Mr.. Holt describes his Utah adven
ture rs one of the most gratifying ex
Imperial Valley press., 1922-10-20

periences of his career. The people
| there are Mormons, a simple pastoral
people, leading clean religious lives
and trained to hard work. They respond
| to efforts made in their behalf and are
| joining with will to help Mr. Holt
in working out their problem. MI
Holt has spent about half the time dur
ing the past several months i'll super
vising his new enterprise. He tells the
story with enthusiasm emphasizing
the friendly experiences with the pee
PIE into whose life and amusements he
has been. compelled to enter and for
whom he has come to have the highest
esteem. 1t is real pioneering again
and Mr.. Holt finds that his old pie
neering instinct has not failed him,
Living there has not been altogether
without its hardships, but Mr.. Holt
has found his health improved by the
rough life and plain food and counts
himself already u distinct gamer,
whatever may be the outcome of the
venture.
Follows Imperial Plan
Being that the project is now about
ready to begin, Mr.. Holt counts his
work as accomplished. He is Il pioneer
and blazer of trails. When the thing
becomes easy it is ready for someone
else. 1t is probable that the land will
be sold 'out to the natives upon some
such plan as was employed so success
fully in Imperial valley in disposing of
the Edgar brothers property. The plan
makes it possible for Il man without
funds to capitalize his future and bor
row money on it for present necessi
ties, one of the clcverest and most
practical that was ever devised for n
growing country. The thing will soon
be done and then w. f. Holt, still
young in enthusiasm, will be ready for
something else, perhaps to return here
and help Imperial valley work out her
WORTH He is Jefferson Worth ana
new problems.
In closing this story, the writer is
reminded of the passing of years.
Hundreds of new residents of lmpcr-
ial valley, readers OF the Press. may
not know that W. F. Holt is the orr
ginal hero of Harold Bell Wright S |
book, 'The Winning of Barbara
FL Centre is the scene of his most sue
eessful enterprise.

ATEN POST CLOSES
LEGION CLUBROOMS

Members of Boyce Atcn Post of the
American Legion have decided to give
up their clubroom quarters on SIXTH
ioritv of the membership that the
clubrooms are too expensive for the re-
turn obtained by the club.
According to f. a. Anderson, com
mander of the post, the members have
always been more or less handicapped
in trying TO maintain their club quar-
tiers for members of the post only, be
cause of the soft drink bar in the same
place as the clubrooms. This bar was
originally operated by the AnSriean
Legion but was later disposed of and
taken over by Harry Woodbury.. Be-
cause of the public patronage give, to
the bar, it was difficult to keep non
Legion men out of the club rooms ana
soon the general public was usiag the
furniture and amusement facilities OF
the Legion more than the members
themselves.
The post has realized for some time,
that the clubrooms have ceased to at
tract members of the Legion and III
order to save the expense of maintain
ing tncn, IL mas Dreh utcidta ~ o"i
render the lease on the place, and store
the furniture until such time as the
Legion can find morc suitable quarters.
Until this is accomplished, the post will
hold its meetings in the county court
house.
Mr.. Anderson said there has been no
friction whatever among the members
of Royce Aten Post and it is the in
tention of all members TO keep up their
interest in the legion ana work 20
gether for the good of the cX service
man and the community at large. In
this connection, Mr.. Anderson said,
members of the American Legion ar"
deeply grateful for the assistance rcnd
cred to Boyce Atcn in the past and it
is chiefly to avoid having to make an
other call for assistance that the abaE-
dominant of the present quarters was
decided.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
TELLS REASONS In
new APPLICATIONS
Asks Commission for Permit
Only Til Final Policy
Is Outlined

7 SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20.-Follow
ing statement was issuedeby the South
ern Pacific company here yesterday.
The action OF the Southern Pacific
under the railway transportation act
of 1920 applying Yesterday to the Inter
state Commerce Commission for autho-
|rity to lease the CcntTai Pacific is
merely designed to bridge a period of
until the Interstate Com
|merce Commission shall reach a final
determination as to what shall be done
with the Central Pacific.
The Central Pacific has been ordered
from the Southern Pacific
under, the Sherman Antitrust Act of
|1s90 The new transportation act of
|1920- gives the Interstate Commerce
Commission affirmative power to au-
(thorize the consolidation of railroads
without regard for antitrust acts.
The new policy of the government
Hooks to the power of regulation and
government control to protect the in
|terests of the public in connection with
RAILROAD operations, instead of anti
thrust legislation such as the Sherman
lact of 1890 in connection with ques-
|tions of association or consolidation of
Railway companies.
Started Under Old Act
The suit decided by the supreme
lcourt against the Southern Pacific was
fbegun under the antitrust act in 1914,
l.before the passage of the railway
Transportation act of 1920, and this
Hast named act was not considered in
the decision, of course, because no

Its tentative plan for the consolidat ion
| of the various systems under which
the Central Pacific was consolidated
| by the commission with the Southern
Pacific. Until final conclusion is
reahed by the commission nothing per-
manent as to the relations of the Cen
trail Pacific and Southern Pacific can
be determined.
No other railroad could buy the pro-
ipcrty without the consent of the Inter
state Commerce Commission under the
| law. The commission has large pow
ers over questions of joint use of ter
minals and the like.
1t is the policy Of the United States
as declared by the transportation act
lof 1920, to arrange for the consolida-
tion of the railroads of the country
into limited number of large system,
and manifestly the Central Pacific in
the end must belong to one of these. If
the application be. grantd by tn Intr-
state Commerce Commission, it simply
means therefore that there will be no
disruption until the question is finally
and definitely determined as to where
the Central Pacific shall 90.

GAMBLING TRIAL
OPENS; CALHOUN
NEGRO DEFENDANT
Chief MatlOck on Stand
Clashes With Attorney
AtchinsOn

With counsel for the defense an
prosecution fighting every step or tht
way, the trial of jim Calhoun, wei
known colored character of the east
side. charged with operating gamb
ling house at 495 East Main street
occupied the entire day in the poleo
court yesterday. Immediately after
disposition of several minor eases, the
Calhoun ease was called by Judge
Thompson and the work of selecting
n jury to hear the ease started.
1t was n slow, long drawn out pro
cess, with frequent clashes between
the attorneys over the questions asked
Jurors, many of whom held views on
the testimony of white people as prefer
red to eolored and were promptly ehaI-
lcnged by the defense. Several "omeh
were called in the Yenire and added
a touch OF color to the scene.
AT 4 clock the jury was completed
and the taking of testimony started
with the story of the raid on Calhoun 5
place last month by members of the FL
Centre police department. Officers Ot-
to Reber, y. c. Dcaton, and Otto End
erton told of forcing their way into
1.-The Home of the Hunter which was
the name of TIE club conducted By
Calhoun, and finding several men there
playing cards. The Officers swore
there was money on the tables before
they entered the room, but ii had dis
appeared when they finely got inside.
Chief Testifies
Chief of Police Matlock was called
To 10 ..rt tr= ifini Al n II
a delegation OF colorcd people who had
visited meeting of the city council
some time ago and requested the au.
thorities to assist them in Kidding the
cast side of undesirable colored char
acters. Following the visit of this
delegation, the chief sand ne Was in
strueted by the city council to keep 4
strict watch OH conditions on the east
side and arrest yiolators of the law.
At times the chief, testimony was
by NJ. c. Atchinson, coun-
sci FOR Calhoun. who asked several pert.
iuent questions, in IN effort to draw
out evidence that the colorcG people
had been Disseminated against. On
enc occasion re asked ;ho chief why
white clubs such as the Elks were not
and the. chief stoutly denied
there is ever any gambling at the Elks
rlub rooms and told the attorney that
as I. brother Elk, he (Atohinson) should
know that gambling is not permitted in
The club rooms of the order.
Chief Matlock also denied that the
raid On Calhoun S place had been
prompted by Political motives and
