terest in Imperial Valley as a winter

representative was again sent TO the

port of B. A. Harrigan, agricultural
commissioner. Southern Utah, the
Arizona Strip-a large district ly-
ing north of the Colorado river,
central Nevada and western Wy

that Arizona and Utah have a con-
siderable supply Of cattle ready to
move to Imperial Valley, Nevada
expected to ship portion of their
feeders here, and Wyoming, having
shipped but very few, has a large
supply yet to be provided for.
with this idea in mind, a group
of Utah and Wyoming cattlemen
visited Imperial Valley last week to
inspect our feed conditions and the
coast markets." the report says.

/. F. Gary Was Out In Boat Alone
When Accident Occurred
Body Recovered

I. F. Cary, secretary and manager
OF the Citizens Loan and Invest
ment company since it's organiza-
ton three years ago, was drowned
Monday night at about 10 o'clock
in Pleasant lake. The body was re-
covered just before seven o'clock
this morning after an all night
search by friends and authorities.
After the finding the coroner was
called to the scene and the body
was removed to the Tschumperlin
funeral home. Funeral arrange
ments have not been completed.
The drowning occurred when Mr..
Cary was alone in a boat. The Cary
family had been spending the sum-
mer at the Erwin cottage. 1t had
become habit to Mr.. Cary to take
a "ducking" before retiring. About
20 minutes later, when Mrs. Cary
saw the unoccupied boat near the
shore, she became alarmed. She
called to her husband, and not re-
ceiving an answer, she called Hal
Erwin, her brother, who was at the
cottage.
News Of the absence of Mr.. Cary
spread hurriedly, and Immediately
the search was organized to find
the body. The office Of Sheriff B.
e. Schooner was notified and sever
al deputies came to help. Many
others Joined the force. Four or
five boats were on the lake, equip
ped with graphing hooks. Some
men dived about in their efforts,
and the inhalator was brought to
the scene. Lights were used to
scan the bottom of the lake. Just
before seven o'clock this morning
the body was brought from the bot
tom nearer the shore than had
been expected.
It Is believed that the boat was
carried away from Mr.. Cary by a
rather strong wind which blew over
the lake last evening. His habit
was to dive into the water and re-
turn to the boat Immediately. He
was not good swimmer, it was
said.-St. Cloud Times-Journal.
The deceased was quite well
known in this city.
