VALLEY PIONEERS
SAY CHANGES ARE
UNBELIEVABLE
Blaschkos Say City of
Ell CentrO Was Turkey
Ranch in 1904

Mr.. and Mrs. f. j. Blaschko of
Woodburn, Oregon, are spending a
few weeks in the valley looking af-
ter their farm interests and renew
ing old acquaintances.
Mr.. and Mrs. Blaschko came to
Imperial Valley in 1904, and filed
on 100 acres of land i'll the early
cantaloupe district, near Mount Sig
nal. Their faith in the valley is
proven by the fact that they have
held the farm all these years in
spite of pioneer Encouragement and
the flooding of the Colorado, which
put their farm under water for two
years.

Changes Unbelievable

During their eight years of alb
sence, Mrs. Blaschko says unbeliev-
able changes have taken place in
Imperial Valley. Their own farm,
which has grown from desert through
crops of corn, cotton and alfalfa,
is now in the center of truck COM
munity, and is surrounded by fields
of lettuce, cantaloupe and veget-
ables. The city of FL Centre, which
was a turkey ranch in 1904, accord
ing to Mrs. Blaschko, has increased
approximately one third in the eight
years of her absence.
These pioneers state that they be-
lieve in the commercial success of
the valley, claiming that there is
no better place for stock, dairy and
poultry on the Pacific coast, and
that the present interest in the
growth of fruits and vegetables is
just a beginning of the variety of
crops which will be raised here even
tually.

COULDN'T REACH NOME

NOME, Alaska, May 15.-The
Amundscn. Ellsworth dirigible Norge
has come to rest, but not in Nome,
where plans had been made for re-
cciving it.
Latest word reaching here during
the forenoon was that the craft,
after being buffeted by high winds
and coursing on a wide circle which
brought il in view of Nome at one
time, descended at Teller, ~ miles
north of here. 1t is assumed here
that the airship may not be flown
to Nome for several days, if at all,
and the expedition s adventure Is
rearded AS finished. The airship
will be dismantled and shipped to
Seattle or San Francisco by the tifSt
available steamer.

Teller, Alaska, is 20 miles over

During the first months of the

are breaking up and the snow has
melted in some sections, it would
take much longer.

sorting that existing advertising rates
are too low, Adolph S. Ochs, publisher
of the New York Times, yesterday
told advertising men at a luncheon of
the Advertising Club that every issue
OF the Times cost the owners $4,000,
or approximately IA cents copy.
He said that the present advertis-
ing rates tend to cheaper newspapers,
and expressed the belief that higher
rates would improve their advertising.
He suggested that advertisers should
spend 90 per cent of their appropria-
tons in keeping existing customers,
while 10 per cent should be used in
getting new customers.
