I WELLS COUNTY DRY Local Option Election Yesterday Resulted in Same Verdict AS BY REMONSTRANCE Wets Had No Organization —Bluffton Voted Dry by Majority of 81. Bluffton, Ind., March I—(Special to Daily Democrat)—Wells county voted "dry” Monday by a plurality of 1,532, the total vote cast being 5,154. This was a much larger vote than was expected. The “dry” vote was 3,342 and the “wet” vote was 1,811. This means that there will be no saloons in this county for two years more, beginning with next November. The county has been dry by remonstrance, the last saloon in Bluffton quitting business in February, 1909. In Bluffton the “drys” also carried the city by a majority of 81, the vote for their party being 712, and for the "wets,” 631. There were only five precincts out 1 of the thirty-four that voted "wet,” ’ and these by small majorities. The 1 little town of Vera Cruz, near Bluff- ' ton, the stronghold of the Germans, ■ surprised all by voting “dry” by five votes. The only precinct in Bluffton to vote "wet” was No. 2, and that ' was by only sixteen votes. Poneto 1 went “wet” by four votes. There was great rejoicing Monday ' night by the "drys” and the bells of ! the churches were kept clanging to celebrate the victory. ' o HIS LRM EXPIRES Harry L. Imler, son of Rev. and Mrs. Imler, Ends Service IN THE U. S. ARMY Member of Body Quard Attending President Taft at Inauguration. Harry Lincoln Imler, son of the Rev. and Mrs. I. Imler of this city has ended his term of service in the U S. army, his term expiring Monday, and his parents and friends will welcome his return home. His service has taken him over much of the country and he has many things of interest to tell. When he enlisted at Columbus, Ohio, he was assigned to the Thirteenth Company Coast Artil- . lery Corps, and spent the greater part ot his time at Fort Monroe, Virginia. At the time of the inauguration of President Taft he was one of those detailed as body guard to the president, an honor accorded to very few. During his enlistment he traveled quite a great deal, having the position as clerk to the paymaster, whose duty It was to visit the different ports to pay the men in the service. He has ( seen much of the United States, but thinks "that Indiana it just about “o. k.’’ o ■ ■ THE GOLDEN WEST (Continued from page 1.) • and rich soil. A town has been laid I out and a number of houses are going , up. This company has about 16,000 ' acres of land under water. I mean ’ that they can irrigate. The apple and cherry orchards now there are ' good producers and have some very fine apples in spite of the care they take of them. The owners do not take the proper care of their trees. You will notice by the pictures in the booklet that they let them carry too much fruit. No tree can produce the finest fruit and carry such loads. They do not prove or thin enough. A good orchard properly tilled and cared for would be a money maker. I wish I had about ten acres, or even five, I would try to grow finer fruit than they do. If they saw how the Washington people care for an orchard and would do likewise they would grow much nicer fruit. I suspect the booklet is colored up a little. You know how real estate men do. Ha, ha. But there Is a great deal of truth ■ in what they say. In my humble opinion land will con- 1 tlnue to go up around In southern California. Too many wealthy men have Invested here to ever let land

values go down. There are a great mahy very wealthy men around here and each year brings more of them. I have nothing to speak of about the place you spoke of in the Fresno district. It may be o. k. California has a lot of good places. Trees come Into bearing sooner here than in Indiana. As I said before if I could do so 1 would have a small piece of that land and plant cherries and apples. Ido not want to urge you to do so but I think it would be a good move for you to come here and get hold of a piece of that land. You could get it attended to for you and you could live here in Redlands if you so desired. I think you would find California more juitable to you than any of the other places y#u mentioned. Think of California and then come and see It before you buy elsewhere. I do not blame you for selling out and going to a milder climate. I received a letter from Shorty today. He said it was still snowing and was pretty cold yet. Weather is fine here. Have my spuds planted and a great deal of my garden is up. Peach trees are coming in bloom now. Expect some ripe strawberies in March. Will be later this spring than last on account of the cold winter Last year we had strawberries by this time. I am digging my fall planted potatoes now. Have a few very nice ones. I have only a small patch. I raised about 100 sacks of sweet spuds last year. Before you locate anywhere else come to Redlands. If any questions, just ask them. Hoping to hear from you soon, and with regards to all, we remain, Yours truly, W. F. BOLINGER. LOSES lIF GRIP The Ice King Met Its Waterloo and St. Marys is Now Clear of Ice. THE CRASH AT NOON When Mass Broke Loose and Floated Away—The Spring Nearly Here. • The Ice King, which for several weeks has held the St. Marys river in subjection, today noon met its Waterloo and was forced to give up the reign, the large mass of ice breaking loose from the shores with a crash and floating majestically down tne stream, leaving the waters clear in many places. The break occurred about noon today and attention was first called to the matter by William Jackson, who lives near the stream, and who, hearing the unusual crash, hastened to the water's edge. The spectacle was one bordering upon the grand and impressive. For several weeks the river has been coated over with a heavy mass of ice, and together with the thaw of the past few days and the rains which raised the river above the usual level,the ice has loosened at the banks and raised up. With the rushing current dragging and sweeping below the ice mass could not long withstand the pull, and giving away just at noon today, the floe was carried away. This is but another one of the many signs of spring. WANTED —Girl for genera! housework. Inquire of Mrs. Catherine Niblick, 326 N. Second street. 47t3
