Next Party of Colonists to
Come to |. V. Early in April;
Much Depends ON Next Trip

l.. G. Smith of Smith and Rogers,
the well known colonization agents
'of Kansas City, Missouri, left I'M
perial Valley on Saturday afternoon
for Kansas City, where he will help
organize and bring to the valley
~otller parties of colonists with the
idea of interesting them in settling
on Imperial Valley lands.
Owing to the fact that the spe
cial railroad rates promised viii not
be in effect until April, it is not
planned to bring another party west
until that time, according to Mr..
Smith, who touched on many inter-
esting points in connection with
the project, in an interview with
a Press representative.
sSHf5ae to the fact tnas the colon
ization rates expected March l,
have not as yet gone into effect, -
declared Mr.. Smith, "and will not
be effective until the first Satur-
day1 ipolApril, and due also to the
fact, that we hesitate about bring
ing too many people in as yet, on
account of the unorganized condi-
tons locally, and the lack of suf-
ficient acreage, being signed up to
carry on the sale campaign for the
time THAI we would wish to carry
it on, we concluded that it would be
wise for us not to bring our. next
party in until the ninth of April.
In the meantime, it will give the
local representatives an oppoltuni-
Imperial Valley press., 1924-03-17

tv to option more land. and we
hope that the required acreage may
be available at that time, when we
can be assured of a selling campaign
covering "a year and q half to two
years, as we feel that proper re-
suits to ourselves, and to Imperial
Valley cannot be obtained unless a
long, steady selling campaign is
carried on. .a.
N'We are leaving NJ. M. Lucy as
our representative in the local field
and anyone who desires any infor-
nation as to our future plans, will
be able to get in touch with him
at the office OF Best and Casey in
Brawley, or at Edgar Brothers Real
ty Company, FL Centre.
Explains Brawley Sale
eve understand that there has
been some criticism as to Il certain
sale. made out of the U. s. DeMou-
lin Tract adjacent to Brawlcy on
account of the high price obtained,
and we feel, out of fairness to the
people supporting us in this move
mcnt, that some explanation is due:
eve had a very limited number
of buyers with us on our first trip,
who were men of large means and
not interested III farm lands as such,
but were so impressed with the
possibility of the valley, that they
made investments in elose-in prop
erty, which had a distinctive loca-
ton, and subdivision value. These
men expect to plant the properties
purchased by them to citrus trees
or vineyards, and in all probabili-
ties, will establish their residence
in the city of Brawley.
EARN lands in Imperial Valley
are beyond question, undervalued at
the present time. This situation can
only be corrected by bringing in a
large number of practical farmers
who will settle upon, and improve
the property purchased by them.
''Our plan of operations will re-
quire us to add considerable
amount per acre 10 the option price,
but this increased valuation will
not result in selling lands above
their normal worth to actual farm
ers unless we are forced to over
value property by the high prices
demanded by the optioner.
we will be in the valley with
another party of actual home seek
ers not later than April ninth. Our
decision as to continuing operations
thereafter, will depend somewhat
upon the outlook then, as to acre
age available for sale under our
plan

Two Carlo ads
of Wild Horses
at Coming Rodeo

Two carloads of wild horses
have been secured from the Ne
vada ranges for the Southern Cali
fornia Rodco which will be held at
Riverside on April 4, 5 and 6. This
is a wild and woody bunch of big
western horses that have never had
a rope on them, The "wild horse
race" which will be part of each
day s entertainment, is one OF the
thrills in a day of thrills. The
wild bronchos are driven on to
the track in front of the grand
stand and the contest consists Of
the innocent pastime of roping
bridling, saddling and riding one
of these wild brutes once around the
track.
The best riders in America will
be at Riverside.

A spotted adder in an electric

We've heard of boa constructors
twining themselves ornamentally
about the lighting fixtures in ban
quet halls in the Central American
countries, but spotted adder in a
Portage, Wisconsin, basement is
indeed rather novel.
Some wood was put into that
basement last week. The colored
clothing was lying along side the
wood before it was put into the
machine. The water was not SO
hot as to scald the reptile which
not only survived the process of
being Numbered with the colored
clothing but went through the
wringer as we'll uninjured.
1t was as the snake was passing
through the wringer that it was
discovered by the good housewife.
Need it be said that there was no
more laundrying in that basement

Daily Is Thirty Years
Old an d Weekly
Passes the F0i 9Th
Milestone

The birthdays of The Baraboo
Daily and Weekly News are cele-
brated this year by moving into
a new home and employing new
equipment. The Baraboo Daily
News was first issued on June 4,
1894, and The Baraboo Weekly
News on May &c, 1884. The
growth of the business, due to
the liberal patronage of the large
News family, enables the proprie-
tors to progress at this time.
For about twenty-five years the
paper has been located on the sec
ond floor of the Powers building on
Oak street and this property was
purchased by the owners of the
paper more than year ago in or
der that a permanent home might
be provided The plant has now
been moved to the ground floor
and basement, giving much need
ed space for the business.
AS stated in the second part Of
this issue, a new press has been
installed, one that prints from a
roll OF paper-feeds itself. In but
few towns the size of Barabco may
these presses be found-in fact
the use of this machine places the
paper ahead Of the town but no
newspaper can lag behind the
times. People read more, they de-
mand better papers, and with this
machine the edition may be print
ed with dispatch.
Besides the press, new linotype
direct from the factory in Brooklyn,
New York, has also been installed.
This machine can almost talk.

paper you now hold in your hand

city, and the metal is heated by
means of the. same wonderful force.
The News now has two sof these
machines in operation and this will
enable the paper to serve its read
ers with the latest news in the
briefest possible time When the
Baraboo Daily News was first is
sued almost all the type was set
by two persons; these machines
do the work of eight people.
Cases and Cabinets
Besides the above some new
steel cases and cabinets have been
purchased. These enable a great
er amount of work to be done in
the required space.
Building RemodeIed
The ground floor and basement
have been remodeled for the news
paper plant A large concrete
foundation was construction for
the press, partitions have been re-
moved, new heating plant installed,
and other improvements made.
The business has been divided as
much as possible among the local
firms, the following being among
those who have had something to
do with the changes made:
Isenberg Brothers, carpenter
work.
James Heffel, cement construc-
ton.
WEIGH Plumbing & Heating Co.

Wisconsin Power, Light & Heat
Co., wiring.

Fred Burdick, painting.

OFT Hdwe. Co. metal work.
1t will require some time before
everything is in place and every
wheel turning as it should, but the
work will be completed as rapidly
as possible. With this issue it is
the desire of all those connected
with the paper to give more col
umns of reading and the freshest
news.

TAKES life BY
HANGING TODAY

Harry A. Wilkinson, 25 year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Viii.
kinson, was found dead in tie
barn on their farm home five
miles norteast of Baraboo about
six o'clock this morning. The young
man had arisen about five o'clock
and went out presumably to do The
morning chores. His mother pre-
pared his breakfast and about
six o'clock went out ito call him to
the meal, when he failed to reap
pear. She found his body hanging
in the barn, a ladder having been
placed across the rafters ten or
twelve feet above the ground and
a rope fastened to this support.
The young mans neck was broken
and death must have been al
most instantaneous.
County Coroner F. E. Tryon of
Baraboo was summoned and de-
cided that no inquest was nee
essary, the case very evidently
being one of intentional suicide.
The deceased had been much
worriea about his work on the
farm and the act was probably
due to his worry and overworked
condition. He was the only child
and had been managing the farm,
which is located on the former
Portage road.
