AN AN OPPORTUNITY
TO BUILD FOR
THE FU TURE

Within the next SIX months farmers
of the Imperial Valley will have the
greatest opportunity ever offered TO
establish themselves on basis OF real
permanency Within that time .the
money realized from the sale of the
water bonds will be available. In a
vast majority of instances disposition
of this money will be up to the mort
gage holders who have been holding
water stock as collateral security.
MANY of these security holders have
evineed their willingness to allow this
money to be turned over to the indI-
vidual farmers on whose farms they
hold mortgages; but on certain eondi-
tions.
What these conditions are will de-
pend upon the circumstances in each
individual case; but it is certain that
they will all ask that the money he
applied in one way or another on the
farms-that il will be spent in upbulld-
ing the valley and not outside of the
valley. These mortgage holders are in
majority of instances, either wealthy
individuals or large corporations ana
they realize that ther security will be
made better by allowing the money to
be applied on the farms. Several OF
them have written letters to certain
financial Institutions here in the valley
outlining just what they vii lexpect
They all speak sof better fertilization
of the soil, better farming methods
permanent improvements, etc.
In other words, many men in the I'm
perial Valley, who have not run then
place with an eye to the future, viii
be forced to do so, if they want to use
this money. OF course it goes without
saving that they do want to do so, nc
sane man could want to do otherwise
This means that the valley will enter
upon an era of real advancement, which
will mean great things to the valley
and all who inhabit it.
1t seems that this comes at an oppor-
tune time, for hardly a day passes
without someone writing or say
ing somthing about the need of better
farming methods and better homes
here. Men are coming to realize that
the pioneer stage is passed and that
for most people the Imperial Valley
is not just a stopping place, but 4
home. The more progressive farmers
are planting permanent crops, snch rs
grapefruit, grapes and other long-iived
products, and not depending solely oi
the more speculative, though often
highly profitable ones. They are also
giving more attention to their ehabita,
tions, and here and there better homes
are springing up.
Why not make Il virtue of necessity
and resolve all to get together and

SERIOUS WRECK

Auto Driver Tries to Dodge

one is seriously hurt; bnt fine new ear
is a wreck, hundreds of dollars to be
spent in repairing it and at that it will
never be quite as good as before.
And all on account of lack of pre-
narration. The driver was ineXperiene-
ed and he was not paying attention TO
his job. In that moment of time allow
ed him before the accident, a man
wh6~knew his business and who knew
the road would have seen that there
was ample room for two ears to pass

DIR. M'LAREN HEARD
BY MANY IN CITY

An unusually interesting feature OF
the church life this week, was the lect-
ure and representations by Dr. James
McIaren. The program given by Doe
tor McLarem Tuesday evening included
impersonatiOns of Lincoln and Burns.
Like magic the speaker seemed TO
transform himself into the likeness OF
the two men so widely different in type,
and the readings from the works Of
each were most delightful as well as
impressive.
From Lincoln he read the Gettysburg
Address, the Farewell Address, and the
address on the union. 'Cottcr s Sat

"To Field Mousse" and other poems
were given. Doctor McLaren once Wis
tied the home Of Robert Burns in Scot
land and gathered wealth of material
from the surroundings as well as en-
abling himself 10 get into the atmos-
pherc of the works of the Scotch poet
and better interpret them. 1t was a

 HONOR GUEST AT
 BIRTHDAY PARTY
Friends of Ben Williams, Who Formerly Lived Here, Will
 Entertain Him in North

Mir. and Mrs. James s. Douglas. of Douglas, were on the Golden State Limited last night, when it passed through Bisbee Junction, on their way to Jerome. The special purpose of their going at this time is to partici- rate in a birthday dinner which is be- ing arranged in the Yavapai copper camp by MT. and Mrs. Louis Doug- las for Ben Williams, uncle of Mrs J. $. Douglas and great uncle of the host. Williams will arrive in Jerome from his home in Los Angeles, ac- companied by Mrs. Williams His birthday will come on Friday of this week and will mark the completion of his sixty-ninth year.
 Ben Williams is well remembered by the pioneers of thiS part of Ari- zona. as general manager of the Cop per Queen Consolidated Mining Con- rany, during the early days of Bisbee and up to the year 1901 when he re- tired from the Copper Queen and with his brother, Louis Williams, went to California to establish their home. Louis Williams was the father of Mrs. J. $. Douglas and passed away sev- eral years ago.
 Zen Williams, as manager of the Copper Queen, not alone established proficiency in the development and operation of the original Copper Queen properties in the Warren dis trict, leaving splendid record, but he gathered into his small organiZa- tion number of young men, seeking fortune in the west, whose names are yet prominent in the industrial prog ress of the southwest. They are J. s. Douglas, c. E. Mills, J. s. William. Jr., ad Joe Curry, all of whom have played important parts in the mining industry of Arizona in later years.

Burglars Attempt
 to Loot Homes in
 Johnson Addition

Attempts were made Monday night to rob two houses in Johnson Addi- tion, but in both cases the would-be burglars were frightened away.
 Late Monday night Mrs. NJ. Carl son heard someone in one of the rooms of her home. Arising, she saw man crawling on the floor. of the bedroom. Mrs. Carlson screamed and the man made a nasty retreat. Several neighbors,. awakened by Mrs. Carlson's screams, saw two men run- ming away from the house in the di- rection of Naco Road. Tine man who had entered the house, said Mrs. Carl son, was we'll dressed, but she could give no accurate description of him.
 Another house ir the same locality had been visited by the two men. At tempts had apparently been made to pry open screen door and a window. Entrance to the house was not gained however It is believed that the two men were frightened away from this house by miners going off shift.
