Ranch Is
Bought by Adams

d. y. Adams, El Centre business
man, who has recently returned to
the valley after two years absence
on the coast, has purchased the NJ.
y. Miller ranch, one mile north of
CaleXico on the state highway.
The property which consists of
l6O acres, is considered one of the
most desirable pieces of land in the
south end of the valley. At pres
cnt it is in alfalfa and the new
owner intends to let it stand as it
is for the present. The deal was
handled through II. p. Pope, local
realtor.
In commenting ON bis purchase
Adams stated that he considered the
land most desirable investment
particularly from the standpoint of
future growth of Imperial Valley
following the development of the
Colorado River. He paid tribute to
the publicity which the Los Angeles
papers are giving to the subject OF
developing the river and declared
that The work they have been doing
IS responsible in large measure
for recognition Of the Colorado riv-
er question as a matter of national
Importance.
When the manner of developing
the river has been decided upon, aud
work is started, Imperial Valley
lands are going to take a large adj
vance IN price, Adams said.

PROLONCATION OF
life IMPOSSIBLE
SAYS SCIENTIST

SAN FRANCISCO, April To-
No matter to what extent the re
finements of science are developed,
it will be impossible to indefinite
" prolong human life, according to
DR.. Samuel J. Holmes, zoologist of
the University of California and
author.
"lt's all bosh,' he said, "this
talk about the possibility of in
definitely extending the length of
life. Although scientists are able to
keep cells from the human body
living far past the normal life of
the organism from which they were
taken. when these cells are in the
body no such unnatural length of
life is at all probable.
The results of ''test tube science
cannot be transferred to the human
body always, he said.
Or. Holmes said that although the
average length of life may have
been increased greatly during the
past century, the number of cen
tenarians living today is probably no
greater than it was IN olden days.
while no man of science would
want to say that immortality of the
body, or increasing life to 100 or
zoo years, is impossible, it is ex-
tremely improbable,' he continued.
In science there is no exact truth,
there is only n probability which
may be large enough to yield Ger
talnty. l should say that it is not
impossible to fly to the moon, for
example, but the probabilities for
this are about one in many mil
