and created the sensation of the week
by stealing the only laps of the race

A Valuable Addition.

Andrew Davis will leave next Mon day with his teams for Imperial, San Diego county, where he has bought 16O acres of land with water rights. He will take two men with him to help in improving the land this winter
 MT. Davis is a living example of the practical California rancher.
 He settled a few years ago on a tract of swamp land south of this city, where nothing but tulles had before grown. It was expected that he would starve to death for the support he would re- ceive on such land, but MT. Davis dem onstrated the fact that the soil of that swamp land was exceedingly rich and for the growing of small fruits and vegetables he cannot be excelled
 It is understood that Mr. Davis has cleared as high as $500 in cash in a single season from the product of about 20 acres besides what he used for his own table.
 It is compliment to Imperial that MT. Davis has decided to farm 16O acres of land here. He will come as near getting the limit out of it as any one.-San Bernardino Times In dex.

A census bulletin just issued on ag- riculture in Delaware discloses the in teresting fact that in the last decade nearly half the peach orchards in that State have been destroyed. Over 4,5OO- poo peach trees were reported in 1890 and only a little over 2,4OO,OOO in 1900. The yellows and other diseases have proved a serious setback to the in- dustry. The tomato crop now far ex- ceeds the peach crop in value; 4,622 farms almost 16,OOO acres, are devoted exclusively to the raising of toma- toes, and the annual yield is over D. 30O,000 bushels. The total acreage and value of tomatoes is exceeded only by the corn, wheat and hay crops Riverside Press.

the irrigation systems of California; and in forming the system for the Im- perial Settlements they have sought to make the very best system possible from water users point of view, for if the water users are satisfied the system will be success, and if they are not satisfied it will be a failure.
 Experts who have examined this system pronounce it the very best that could be formed, and this is the conclusion that all reach who have given the matter careful study so as to understand the program as out lined.
 Now there are several Mutual Water Companies-each named I'm perial Water Company but each Com pany i is numbered. At present these numbers run from l to 6, but each company is a duplicate of each other and a stockholder in No. has noth- ing to do with No. 2 or any other number Hence this multiplicity of Mutual Companies cuts no figure but makes matters more simple; for if person sells out in one locality, under No. 1, for instance. and purchases again in another locality under No. for instance, he knows that the sys- tenn is absolutely the same and he has nothing new to learn as regards his water system, only he applies to an other Zanjero for water.

Party From Chula Vista.

Our former neighbor G. w. Nichols has gone again to the New River country, but did not take his family, having first to have the house, etc., ready. Mr. Morrison, the manager of the Mathes place, since MT. Nichols quit, has returned from his trip to Imperial, which was satisfactory to himself and wife and the son and daughter of MT. Mathes who were with him. They went by way of Campo and Jacumba, but returned by way of Julian which is the better road of the two at present. They were on the road four and half days.-National City Record.
