power.
 The Union believes, however. that the agitation of this impor- tant question should not bc com fined to this city, but should bc carried on throughout San Diego county, especially at the places along the proposed line or near it. At these it would bc~wcll to have mass meetings, at which the cit- iEens will be given au opportuui- ty to acquaint themselves with the details of the proposed un- dertakiug, and to take steps to render all the assistance of which they are capable.
 The need of the proposed rail- way IS conceded on all sides. this is a branch of the subject that calls for no consideration. The chief question is one of ways and means. These will be forth coming. and the road will be built, provided the people take harmo- nious and vigorous action to that end.

Ii is settled that a mass meet ing will soon be called to take action upon the question of build ing a railway to connect this city with Imperial and the New River country generally, says the San Diego Union of the 7th.

X REGENT writer from San
 Diego in the Ramona Sentinel seeks to retard immigration into the Imperial country by pointing the poor man to the disadvauta-
 ges he will be up against" when he leaves his old home to go to the desert. When this gentle man stated that this land is per fectly worthless without water,
 a fact that is universally known he failed to add that water is now flowing in the canal; and when he stated that the water rights cost Sll.25 per acre. he failed to add that the land costs SIPS per acre, making total of Sl2.5O an acre, which is the cheapest land with water right ever offered in Southern Califor- nia, and that the payments of these water rights are scattered over a period of six years, thus bringing 1t in easy reach of the poorest of men who have the en- ergy to get-up-and-go. In sta:- ing that the white man stands little chance at working for wag- es he was perhaps not aware of the fact that more than 300 men and teams are now em- ployed in the country, receiving recompense at the rate of $5.50 per day, and that laboring man has never applied for work here without getting it. Perhaps this gentleman knows of a coun- try where land and water is cheaper and wages better. but if he does he is saving the informa tion for his bosom friends-he didn't give it to the public.

VIII THf RAILROAD Bt BUllR

This Is hard question to am swer-so hard indeed that few men would care to shoulder the responsibility of answering it. either yes or no. Ii now begins to look. however. like the road to connect this country and San Diego is in fair way of becom- ing a reality.
 At a meeting of the railroad committee of the chamber of commerce. held in San Diego last Saturday, at which large num- Der of progressive business men of the city were present, an inn portant step toward putting the long-talked-of and much-needed road through. According to press reports the business men who took part in this meeting are of the kind that accomplish what they attempt and the word to fail IS unknown to them. The city and county have long felt the need of such men as these becom- interested in this railroad propo- sition, and now that these gem tlemen are showing a willingness to push the matter 1t certainly behooves every citizen of the county to cooperate with them and lend every assistance in their power. There is little doubt but that San Diego would long ago have had a railroad to the east had there not been so many who are always watching for an op- portunity to throw cold water on any progressive enterprise.
 The necessity of a railroad from San Diego through this part of the county is no longer discussed. With the proper sup port from the people of that city the road is an absolute certainty. With the road built San Diego would profit by the business of a section of country that in pro- ductiveness is unsurpassed on the continent. Whether this part of of the county shall be tributary to San Diego will be determined by the support the citizens give the railroad project.

HtAD6ATtS 0f IMPERIAL CANAL
 ARt PERFECTION

The past ten days have been a severe test for the headgates of the Imperial canal. But while the test has been a severe one, ii has been most satisfactory Tn ev- cry respect. The headworks and canal. although new and fresh. remained uninjured throughout the recent heavy floods of the Colorado. withstandiug the se- verest strain to which they could be subjected.
 The California Development company had built a strong levee between the river and the canal to keep out any floods even at the high water mark. and had exteu- ded the levee 10 the south to pre- vent any ordinary food water from entering the Salton chan nel. For several days. howeg ger, the river was at a point which sent large stream of water down the channel independent of that going through the headgates. but did no damage. The river has been several feet higher this year than is usual, but has uow receded and all danger IS past.
 Some damage is reported on the Arizona side both to the ca nal works and to crops. Some people being forced to seek high lands.
 The Imperial canal was con- structed in a substantial way by a man who knows his business from a to izzard.
 Water is now flowing in the canal through the Cameron camp and farmers who are putting in feed crops about Cameron are en- abled to get water for irrigation purposes.
