AN EDITORS TROUBLES

The publisher of a newspaper has one thing to sell and one thing to rent. He has the news papers to sell and the space in his columns to rent. Can anyone inform us why he should be ex- pected to give away either the one or the other?
 He can, if he choses, and he does, as matter of fact, furnish a great deal of space rent free. But it does not follow that he ought to be expected to do so, unless it be recognized as a con- tribution, exactly as would be the giving away of sugar and coffee by grocer. But strange to say, it is not looked upon in that light at all, and yet every body knows that the existence of the newspaper depends upon the rental of its space and the sale of its papers, just the same as a merchants success depends on selling his goods instead of giv- ing them away.-Cottonwood Report.
 The trouble is, too many peo- people think that newspapers are run just for fun.-Alameda En- cinal.
 The PRESS is the happy pos sessor of the liberal patronage and hearty cooperation of every man, woman and child in Impe- rial.

 The first number of the IMPERIAL PRESS is at hand, and down it goes on our exchange list right from the start. It is very neat eight-page paper pub lished at the town of Imperial, San Diego county, in the very heart of what is called the Colorado desert. There are but half-a-dozen buildings in the town, yet Editor Reed has made no mistake ill thus setting up shop in the wilderness. Imperial is absolutely cer- tain to be the center of population for a farming region as rich and productive as anything ill the world-bar none. It requires considerable faith and en- terprise to embark in any kind of bus mess venture in such an embryonic place, but we look to see the Editor of the PRESS reap rich reward for his grit and pluck, Hurrah for him and his PRESS!

 The Sun has received copy of the first issue of the IMPERIAL PRESS, the new San Diego county paper published at Imperial, over there on the desert that is now being made to blossom. The PRESS presents decidely up-to- date appearance, and indicates, even in this first issue, that it knows its business, which is to tell the world all about the desert and the Improvements that are being made there. In other words, it is essentially a local paper, and on these lines it will be of great benifit to that section. There have been circulated so many absolutely false reports about that desert that Editor H. c. Reed will have 'copy" at hand for the next ten years.

Reed is editor and manager, subscription $1.5Oa year. The first number gives much infor- nation about the land, water, etc.

separate this part of the county from San Diego.
 General Manager s. W. Fer gusson said: "When the engi- neer was looking over the lay of the land, he asked me what it was the Imperial company want ed, and I replied that it wanted communication with tide water the best way possible. Itdid not take him long to decide that with the immense power which we will have at our command, the scheme of an electric line toward the city of San Diego, to a point where it could be met by a steam line would be the most suitable for us.
 "We have plenty of power. The canal takes three drops on its course, and since the drops have to be put in, the power can be developed without difficulty. At one place, quite close to where we take the water from the Sal ton river, the engineer estimates a development of 1,2O0 horse pow CT, at another 2,OOO horse power, and still another 4,OOO horse power.
 "There would be plenty of bus mess for such a road, and the utilization of electricity as power on standard guage rail- roads is no longer a dream. It has been tried, and is a success. They are not for electric cars, but for electric motors drawing cars, all ot standard guage just as they might be delivered to the road from any other standard guage road in the country"
 It is hard telling just now which of the above projects will be solution of the transporta- tion problem, but at any rate there is no doubt but that this problem will solve itself at an early date after the beginning of the cultivation of these lands.

 The Imperial Colony in San Diego county California, has a new paper, IMPERIAL PRESS. The paper is one of the neatest of our exchanges and we wish it success. The colony which it issues from is in fair way to become one of the richest agricultural regions of the state of California. A man. moth ditch has been taken from the Colorado river conveying water suf- ficient to irrigate thousands of acres of the finest land in the world. The big ditch will be used as a canal to bring produce to marked by boat.

THE TRANSFORMATION PROBLEM

Prospective settlers in the I'm perial country need have no fears regarding a means by which to market the products of this sec tion.
 With 100000 acres of the most fertile soil in the world under the flow of the mommoth Imperial canal, the largest in the United States, furnishing the most abun- dant supply of irrigation water, the minimum amount of hay that can be raised is 5OO,OOO tons an- nually, which means 10000 head of cattle and town of 250O peo- pie. With this condition of af- fairs the volume of business will be indeed great, and there is not a shadow of doubt but that rail- roads will come to handle the traffic.
 Only twenty-eight miles of road is required to connect this town with the city of Los Ang- eles by way of Flowing Wells over the rails of the Southern Pacific, while but about one hundred and twenty-five miles is required to connect Imperial with San Diego by rail, and we gre on direct line with all prof ects for a railroad from that city to Yuma, and the citizens of San Diego are quite alive to the situation, and the chamber of commerce committee is taking active steps towards establishing a better means of communication between that city and Imperial.
 An expenditure of only about $5O,O0O would be required to con- meet this country with tide water by way of Hardy's Colorado.
 And an electric railroad line over this country is among the possibilities of the not distant future. In fact this project has already been deeply considered by the Imperial Land company, who have had an eminent electrical en- gineer, who was for years em- ployed by the General Electric company, looking over the ground and examining the conditions, and of the seventy projects into which this gentleman has looked and which have resulted in the building of electric roads, he said he never saw anything which would compare with the project of an electric line from here to the top of the mountains which
