HUNT TRACT SUBDIvIDfD

Oakiey-Paulin Company are meeting with much success in subdividiug thc sOCO-acrc Hunt tract, which they pur. cha scd few days since. This tract lies about the town sites of Paringa and Caiexico, and is being taken up rapidly in small tracts by new corners, thus working tO the interest of both those towns by making possible a more dense population than would re- suit with SD large tract held by one person.
 This is in line with much of the work now iu progress, some of the first settlers having taken larger hold ings than they find it convenient tO cultivate or tO make payments on. with the result that the tendency of the times is toward subdivision. As a result, there will be few holdings in excess of 320 acres. while the average holding will be iu the neighborhood of lGO acres, many farms consisting of 40 and SO acres.
 There are also being formulated plans for placing on the market con- siderable body of land near Imperial in ten-acre tracts, suitable for fruit and vegetable growing, which will be sold at prices within the reach of every body.

Not Hard to Swallow

Manager Swallow of the Yuma Oil company has returned to San Diego from this country and recites for the Union d story which is interesting. As for the railroad, the allotment of time my be too brief, but it is not impos- sibe. He says in part:
 MT. Swallow reports d great amount of interest in the Imperial country. He saw many people on the way there. He was told by an agent of the Southern Pacific that that road would be run ming trains between Flowing Wells and Imperial within three months. One of the most interesting sights was the terl-mule teams hauling nillet, sorg- hum and sugar cane from Calexico to Imperial Most of the feed was baled and it was surprising what load ten mules could get away with. The yield of these three kinds of feed in the New River country this season has been ex- traordinary and yet up to now it has found ready market at Imperial.

THT SUBMARINE

Indio has newspaper. Inc Subma rinc. which made iis appearance last week. It obtains it's title from the fact that it is published tweniy.two feet below the level of the sea, and not, as might be supposed, printed in the fa- nous ship Nautilus or Hollands ia. nous craft. There arc no waves to beat above it, and yet if if meets the usual experience there may be many to beat against it. There isa natural feeling of fellowship on the part of the Press and Farmer for SO near q ncighbor. This paper is itself pub
 ished 74 feet delow the level of the sea, yet it is not n crustaccan. it is covered by no hard shell that makes it impervious to sentiments of friendship for it's fellows.
 Between Indio and Imperial there should be feelings of kinship. They lie in what is practically the same val. ley. Their climatic conditions are practically the same. There is di- versity in soil and in methods of ob- taining water for irrigation. This gives room for each section 10 think itself superior, and these differences may at times awaken some degree of rivalry. But rivalry is stimulating, and out of it may grow a stronger friendship, with a possibility of ulti- mate intimacy extending beyond that now in evidence. The new editor is Randolph K. Freeman, and he will un- doubtedly be accorded the place he merits in the ranks of pioneer news paper workers.

Not Standing Alone

The town of Imperial, while thus far attracting most attention, is not to be alone in the Imperial Valley. Calcxico is now in a prosperous con dition, and it is evident that Pariuga. between the two towns mentioned. will will soon be heard from. Work has been begun on the irrigation distri- outing system for the Braly tract. north of Imperial, and the town of Ranchcrita will be mapped ou, in due time for that tract
 Thus far Imperial stands in the lead, however, in the matter of general bus mess, and so many lines of industry are taking form for the future that it seems very proble this will continue, the town making rapid strides as forced along by tln development of the country.

Working Near Imperial

J. Garnett Holmes of the bureau of soils of the United States Agricultural Department, who has made his head is now actively at work in the neigh borhood of Imperial, and expects to close his work in the Imperial valley before Christmas. The data which he is gathering regarding the soils of the valley will be used by the Government as basis for a bulletin making re- commendations regarding crops best adapted to this section, th ugh the bulletin will probably not be issued for year or more.

WORK ON GRADERS

George \. Carter & Co. have taken a contract to run two graders, or ditch ing machines, the second of which will be in Imperial within very few days. They will both bc at work on the lat cral to run half mile cast of town, where one is now at work. This one is making splendid hcadway. and can be seen from town, but mile to the southeast.
 Mir. Carter will add 10 his force eleven mules and five horses brought in Sat urday by Charles La,hrop, this giving him about seventy head of stock at work in the valley.
 One of the sights of the valley is the grader at work on the ditch. Mir Cartcr's camp is mile south and d half mile east of Imperial, in the mid dlc of an cight-milc stretch of ditch IS fee, on the top and l4 feet on the bot tom, which he is to construct. Sixteen mules are hItched in front and four behind the grader, and they are able 10 make d round trip over four miles of the ditch each half day, taking out four furrows each day, the furrow be- ing foot wide and about ten inches deep. For digging the ditch three furrows deep and four miles long about two weeks are required The machine is of iron frame work, like d road machine. with q single blow with large shear. This throws the dirt on continuous belt, which carries it to the bank of the ditch. As the machine is forced along Il steady stream of dirt is poured out, there being no waste of mule energy. The level nature of the earth iu this section permits of most successful work with the grader, the ditch made by it having far more even banks than one made with scrapers.

Rice as a Product

Many persons more or less acquaint- ed with rice growingin other countries have visited Imperial valley and have expressed the opion that rice could be grown here with much profit, especially in such a locality as the low land sur rounding Mesquite lake, where tKey thought il would be easy to keep the land flooded during the time required I, is not impossible that some effort in that line will be made in the course of short time. Ii now ap- pears that other portions of the state are considering the same matter of testing rice in California, and the Fruit World says:
 "It is reported at Stockton that K. r. Lane is to make scientific expert mcnt with rice culture OH the tract of the old River Land and Reclamation Company. Some parties have been stimulated to action by reason of what is being done in Louisiana, where land
  per acre since the planting of rice fields, $50 to $40 per acre being cleared on the crop.
 Many experiments were made in the early days of California. which are reported fully in the proceedings of the State Agricultural Society. It may be that varieties of rice may be found that will succeed in the Sacra- mento and San Joaquin river bottoms, and on reclaimed tule land, but the conditions existing in Louisiana and California are so different that success with any special crop in one would not mean success with the same in the other"

More Ducks Coming

The Los Angeles Herald IS keeping close tab on duck migrations, and says:
 Duck shooting during the past week has been extraordinarily good. The recent storm about San Francisco has sent the mallards aud canvas backs south in large flocks, and hunt CTS are beginning to bag larger pro portion of these ducks than in the season thus far
 Of course those ducks are coming 10 tine various lakes in the Imperial val ley. for there is where all well informed ducks assemble to hold their annual conventions, but if this thing continues they will find standing room only. There are already more ducks and other water fowl on the lakes than an army of hunters could slaughter

GettinQ Green

During the last few weeks a consid- erablc acreage of ground in the valley has been sown to barley, with a view to making early feed for horses and mules, and as d result green is becom- ing the prevailing color in many DOT tions of the valley. Present indica- tions are that this first. winter crop will make as great showing as did the first summer crop of sorghum and mill let. A number of small tracts are also being sown to alfalfa with equal sue cess so far as determined, but the im- mediate need of feed for horses is greater than for cattle, and barley is consequently being given the prefer ence thus far.

Bank Opening

Unless there is disappointment in the receipt of supplies now on the way from Los Angeles. the First National Bank will open it's doors in temporary quarters next Monday. The bank will begin business in the building occupied by the Imperial Mercantile company, removing at an early date to the brick block to be erected on the corner of Eighth street and Imperial avenue.

ROCK ISLAND ROAD

The repeated claim that the Rock Island railroad will find an entrance 'nto California via Yuma and Imperial valley, thence proceeding either Co San Diego or los Angeles seems to take or new features from the follow ing statement published by the Den yer Post.
 Senator William X. Clark of Mon tana and Thomas r.. Walsh of Cobra do have, it IS rumorcd, joined issues in railroad construction and will build practically new trduscOutincntal railroad.
 "The Chicago. Rock Island and Pa ciiic is said to be tn with Senator Clark and Mir. Walsh.
 "Thc new trauscOutiucutal line would give Senator Clark an outlet for his Los Angeles and Salt Lake road, which has been left without one through the absorption of the two Colorado mountain lines by George Gould. The Rock Island would get new and short route to California.
 MT. Walsh some time ago iucorpor- dtcd q railroad to be built from Ouray via Gunnison to Pu.b.o. II his al- ldnce with Senator Clark is perfected, he will build on probably to Liberal, Kan, where he will connect his road with the Rock Island.
 "lt is said that Senator Clark aud Mir. Walsh will meet this week in Washington and there complete the deal whereby they will become part ucrs in railroad constructions.
 The statement has seemed 10 be well founded that the Rock Island would soon reach Yuma. in which case II would seem certain that the road would be continued to tide water, and fl relationship is established between Senator Clark's road aud the Rock Island, there would be but about 2OU miles To build from Yuma through the Imperial valley ,o a junction with the Clark road al Rcdlands, thus giving the system of roads two routes to the East, one reaching to the northeast and the other to the south.

Vines may be set in the spring and

while the wistaria, h~oneysuckle and ia

One reason why plants often do not

of moisture in the air. Anything that
tends to supply this lack is so much
gained. On this account plants often
do best in the kitchen window.
The petals of a single flower fall

MAXlMSs

Old Time Rules For the Table BY h
German Poet Won Zirkler.
That our ancestors were not so well
managed as we are is evident from the
following rules, which were laid down
by Tommasin Won Zirkler, a German
poet, in regard to the conduct of a host
and his guest at a dinner party. These
singular maxims were recently I'M
earthed and have now been reprinted:
every host should take care that
his guests have enough to eat and that
they are not served with dishes that
they do not want. In return the guests
should behave properly and should be
satisfied with whatever is placed be-
fore them.
GA guest should not eat all his bread
before the first dishes are served, nei-
Their should he eat with both hands nor
drink mol talk when his mouth is full.
1T is not polite to turn toward ones
neighbor and to offer him a winecup
from which one is still drinking.
zone should not eat greedily and
hastily, as though the dinner had been
paid for, neither should n take any
food from his neighbours plate. In a
word, each person should accept what
is offered and ask for nothing else.
'When there is some one or the right
hand, it is permissible to eat with the
left hand. q
"WhiIe one is drinking the eyes
should be steadily fixed on the wine
cup.
"It is improper to place ones hand in
a dish while another person is taking
some food from IL.
zone should always have the hands
clean and the nails cut short, as other
wise those persons who are eating from
the same dish are likely to become dis
gusted.
GA guest should never put his ell
bows on the table, neither should he
chatter all the time nor clean his teeth
with a knife. "-Chicago Herald.
