CALIFORU A
COLTON, Cal., Jan. 8 (by Associ
ated Press).—This is a story of how
two young ex-service men, one from
the navy and the other from the army,
made $17,008.42 through six months of
hard work and shrewd trading since
they left off their uniforms and put
on overalls.
The young men are Chester Hartley,
aged 23, formerly in the navy, and his
brother, Charles, 21, formerly a sol
dier, They are sons of Mr. and Mrs.
Seth Hartley of this city.
They were discharged from the
service early last March. They took
charge April 1 of the Tropico P.ancho,
south of Colton, on a purchase con
tract. Chester had been employed by
an oil company before he entered the
service, and he rturnd to work fn' it
so he and his brother could have money
to meet the expenses of the ranch.
Charles became manager of the ranch
—about 160 acres.
They planted the land to sweet corn.
At the end of the season they had har
vested and sold more than 300,000
ears of corn, having supplied 10,000
ears daily for a time to a railroad
eating house system, to dining cars of
the Santa Fe railroad, and to sixty
three stores in Colton, San Bernar
dino and Riverside.
All deliveries had to be made be
fore 9 o’clock in the morning, and so
Charles Hartley, the ranch manager,
worked from twelve to sixeten hours
every day.
Their corn harvest called much at
tention to the Tropico Rancho, which
they sold at a profit, taking as part
payment a tract of fifty-five acres set
to alfalfa, near Devore, Cal. This land
they also sold, for $10,000.
When they began operations they
had only their discharge allowances
from the army and navy and what
Chester earned with the oil company.
Their profit on crops and realty spec
ulations has netted them $17,008.42.
they said.
Chester is still working for the oil
company. Charles has bought an in
terest in a business.
Their father, a veteran trader,
thinks they have “done mighty well.”
GOVERNOR SAYS
MORE POLICE
ARE NEEDED
In his annual report to the secre
tary of the interior Governor Riggs
states that the crying need of Alaska
is police protection. He states that
there are four United States marshals,
one for each of the four judicial divi
sions into which the territory is di
vided; there are fifty-five deputy mar
shals, including the chief deputies,
clerks, stenographers, etc.
i
These marshals, the governor de
clares, are so hemmed in by depart
mental restrictions that they can not
be considered a police force in any
sense of the word. They are techni-!
cally process servers, except when
they exceed authority in the interest
of law and order. It is really remark
able that with such restricted author
ity the marshals have been able to
accomplish what they have, but the
fact remains that as a force for the
prevention of crime they are not of
the highest value.

“A battalion of troops divided
among several Alaska army posts
could be withdrawn and the posts
turned over to the constabulary.
Troops are absolutely lost in Alaska;
they have no duties outside of bar
rack routine. In winter there is little
opportunity for outdoor life, and in
consequence the .men are discontented
and unhappy. Aside from a moral in
fluence and the benefit derived from
the moneys spent in towns near by,
they are of little use to the territory
except in marked emergencies. Let a
constabulary be substituted for the
soldiery.”
While many Alaskans favor the
establishment of a constabulary in the
territory, says the Valdez Miner, it is
very improbable that they would con
sider the withdrawal of the soldiery.
These men, it says, are enlisted for
Alaska service, and are far from be
ing the unhappy and discontented lot
pictured' in the graphic description by
the governor. They have as much
outdoor exercise, and probably more,
than the men in the States, as their
work is lighter and hte officers more
indulgent.
