Texas Wheat Growers Beat All
Records

Texas growers produced this year the largest wheat
crop ever raised in the commonwealth. or as. 900
bushels. This is an increase OF 100000 bushels over
the crop of 1880. Texas oats crop will be far greater
than last year. Texas peach crop will be about $50
100000 bushels larger than In 1880 with an indicated
production Of 100000 bushels. According to Victor Fl.
Schoffelmayer. agricultural editor Of the Dallas News,
the big fact stands ont that Texas farmers will have
more crops or all kinds than they have ever produced
before; they will be IN a position to raise more live
stock and to live better and have a greater net in
come than last season because crops and animals
have been produced at much smaller cost"
Texas continues to be the big white spot on the
map Of the United States. A reminder that Pres

Increase In Freight Rates
Demanded

And now the l. c. c. IS facing another knotty pro-
biem. On the plea that they are facing a financial
emergency the railroads Of the country have asked
the commission TO approve a general Is per cent in
crease in freight rates. Furthermore. the commission
Is asked to permit the schedule submitted to. be effec-
tive at once. It is announced there will be no deci-
sion until the commissioners have time to familiarize
themselves with the rail petition. Bus and truck COM
petition has resulted in a huge loss OF revenue to the
American railways. Now, their chief spokesman say
they are confronted with an emergency threatening
impairment OF their financial resources and their
capacity TO assure the public a continuance Of an eff
ficient and adequate service. This old world seems
to be upside down but II viii right itself in the re-
adjustment and prosperity and plenty will fall upon
those who battle on just as II depressions never

GERMANY WANTS
YANKEE Aid TO
PROVIDE TEAM

BERLIN. Feb. TO- U.P)-German
candidates for the Olympic winter
sports at Lake Placid in 1892 are
worrying less about their chances of
taking some of the events than
their chances of making the trip
at all. No money has been provided
for expenses and it is up to the var
ious sports clubs and individual
subscribers to find the fare. for
whatever group finally is chosen to
compete.
The German Olympic committee
estimated that, with discounts from
the German railroads and steam :
ship companies, $500 marks tabouG
5000 will send one candidate. The
total cost for both the Lake Placid
and Los Angeles games will prob
ably exceed 100000 marks (about
S50,000). .f
The committee is now conducting
campaign to raise this sum. 1t
hopes that German Americans will
contribute at least one-third of it.
The other two-thirds would come
equally from the Reich, and from
various sport clubs.
Sweden will send 80 men to the
Lake Placid games, including ice
hockey, ski and skating teams
Switzerland will enter teams in
bob Shedding, figure skating and
skiing, totaling Is to 18 persons.
Denmark has not yet fixed the
number of her teams, nor has Fin
land. That probably will be done
before the end of February.

surreptitiously removing her bag
gage. On testimony of two detec
tives, she was convicted. The de-

DELAYED BOXING
CARD READY FOR
COMING FRIDAY

Rain prevented boxing fans of
Imperial Valley from seeing great
boxing card last week, but they will
lose nothing by it, the bouts being
merely delayed week.
AS soon as the weather made it
necessary to call of the fights, the
directors Immediately got busy and
resigned the entire card for this
week.
Heading what is without doubt one
of the best balanced cards offered
in many weeks, is the main event
between Baby Sal Sorio and Viven-
clio Alicante.
Sorio is rated as the topnotch man
among the Mexican welterweights
and previous TO putting on pound
age he was great lightweight and
featherweight. He is fast as chain
lightning, good boxer and packs
a punch tough enough to set down
any good boy.
In Alicante he faces coming

ting in solid blow. Fans have seen
the Filipino in several fights here
and know that he is a tough hon.
bre for anyone to beat.
Homer Gaines, erstwhile Imperial
resident, but now big shot among
the fighters on the coast, is booked
for the semi-final against Russ
Bradford, who showed the fans
plenty two weeks ago when he
trounced. Teddy Palacios, a sup
posedly "bigger and better'' boy.
Bradford is one of the classiest boys
seen here in long time and if he
has a punch which he kept secret
the night he fought Palacios, Homer
IS in for big night of it.
Andy Armstrong is in the special
event, with Cal McMullen of San
Diego as his opponent. Andy is
travelling at fast clip just now and
having found that he packs con-
siderable punch, he is anxious to
show it and use it.
Joe Figueroa of this city and Kid
Pancho of San Diego are rematched
to open the show. Pancho took the
decision in their first encounter and
the local boy is out to change the
verdict Friday night.
