 Magazine we take the following extracts from long illustrated article regarding the Imperial country;
 A record of amazing Prcduoiiveness is presented in a field of sorghum. plaRed June ~. which attained a growth of stalk eigh; or nine fec; high in seven weeks. That record shows a mart of what has been accomplished in retaining inc Colorado descr; ir Southeast California.
 All previous records of plant growth m California. long famous for marvel ous productions. are vastly exceeded by this one. which equals any story lu the anuels of Egypt. showing the fer ,ility of the delta of the Nile. This first crop of sorghum will yield from i've 10 ten tons of cured hay io the acre. which is worth & ion on the ground, thus returning the growers no; less than S2s per acre
 Large fields of uiillei, planted under the same conditions, have made like astonishing growth. the yield being three and half tons ;o inc acre. About fourteen hundred acres have been seeded to sorghum and millet, most of ii near the Mexican boundary y line, where the main canal was first available for supplying the large vol uule of water needed 10 wet down this delta land, which has been as dry as sun and wind could make II where al most no rain has fallen for thousa nd years. Ii is estimated that al leas; S0.O 600 acres will bc seeded this fall nd winter to alfalfa. wheat. barley and other crops. These astounding results of the first applica ton of an abundance of water tO this delta soil, made, too, in mid summer, and as an experiment, only indicate the possibilities of this thirty or forty feet deep by ample winter and summer irrigation for twenty years. with evaporation check ed by the shade of two enormous year ly crops, and by orchards and other trees.
 No malaria has been developed dur ing the summer as the effect of flood ing the land with water and then ir- rigating the crops, and there are more than two hundred people in the valley, most of them without adequate shelter, including many families and a large number of children. for whom public school has already been provided. and vet there has been no sickness among them whatever, and no time has been lost by the men al work oB the canal or tiiling and irrigating the land. by excessive heat.

ket. The town lost the trade of many
of these people.
The uncertainty regarding the future
operations Of the water board had
depressing effect on values.
The witness could not tell how many
persons living in Clinton received set
Elements from the Water Board, and
left town taking the money with them.
He knew of several such persons. John
f. Philbin was one. Philbin removed
TO Lancaster.
Unfortunately crime had increased
since 1895 The witness knew this from
mis- experience in the District Court.
Most of the increase came from the
population brought into town by the
water works. This was not desirable
population. It was neither socially nor
ndustrially allied with the rest of the
community. The men changed as the
contractors changed.
Mr. Hallowell spent a long time in

He endeavored to show, by questions
asked of the witness, that the loss Of
the territory taken by the Water Board

The witness insisted that this terri
tory was not all farming property and
pointed to many locations on the map
in support Of his statement.
About half the territory submerged
might be considered scrub land. But
much of it was capable of development
for building.
