 From the above correct statement, the company begins business with an actual surplus of $1O0,OOO, and an es- tablished business on money-mak- ing basis. In addition it has valu- able five-year contract with the Cali fornia Development Company to buy and sell the securities acquired and issued by said company, consisting of notes secured by mortgage given by the Imperial settlers and investors in land located in the Settlements, to purchase and negotiate the sale of the bond issue of said last-named com pany, comprising half million dol January, 1903, to purchase 892 addi- each in the California Development Company at satisfactory price. It has the right to promote and develop the water power and to convert the same into electrical energy from the canals owned by said company.
 The Imperial Land Company, the stock of which is owned by the Delta Investment Company, has a valuable ten-year contract with the California Development Company as the exclu- sive agent for such company for sell ing and leasing all of it's water shares and lands, running up into the mill lions of dollars. One-fourth of the gross proceeds from all sales and leaseholds is the compensation to such general agent, and by virtue of it's position as general agent for said California Development Company, 1t owns and controls the right of way throughout the valley for the building of railroads, telephones and telegraph lines, and to take advantage of such, railroad company is being promoted to enter the valley for the accommo- dation of settlers, charter for which has been prepared and is ready for execution.
 By reason of it's ownership of all the capital stock of the Imperial Land Company, it owns and receives all of the profits derived from the location and establishment of all townsites throughout the valley and settle ments, under the control of the Cali fornia Development Company. Three of such townsites have been plated, and lots therein are now being placed on the market for sale at the price of $1O0 to $150 per lot, spot cash, and are Tn excellent demand at such prices, which will be doubled soon. Three other towns will soon be located, plated and lots therein placed on sale.
 In view of the fact that the prin- cipal and most valuable asset owned by the Delta Investment Company is composed and consits of stock in the California Development Company, the reader, therefore, is entitled to infor- nation concerning the property repre-

A new corporation has been formed on a solid financial basis that will take a very active part in developing the resources of the Imperial Settle ments. This corporation is composed of some very solid business men, mostly citizen of Los Angeles, and the property held by the corporation when It starts business is ot a substantial character that will increase in value rapidly as the Imperial Settlements increase in population and wealth. Any one can readily ascertain this fact by examining into the financial status of the California Development Company and the Imperial Land Con- pany one year ago, and compare the standing then with their status today. Also by comparing the values of land and water rights in the Imperial Set dement's one year ago with their values today.
 N w. Stowell an oldtime success full business man of this city, is the president of the company, with George Chaffey vice president, Rusk Harris ! second vice-president, A. M. Chaffey secretary and treasurer, A. H. Heber general manager, and Harris & Swan wick attorneys.
 This corporation is able to refer, by permission, to the Farmers and Mer- oh r and the Southern California Savings Bank-all of Los Angeles, and East ern references can be furnished on ap- plication.
 The company has just issued a neat announcement in pamphlet form and in that announcement the future work or the corporation is so tersely told that we cannot do better than to in- corporate the salient points of that official statement in this article for the benefit of the readers of the Press, as follows:
 The Delta Investment Company is incorporated under and by virtue of the laws of the State of New Jersey, with a capital stock of $500,000, divid- ca into 5000 shares of the par value of $100 each, and under such laws and | the provisions of it's charter, it's capi- tai stock is nOn-aSSeSSabe after issue | and delivery.
 Its officers and directors, except the three last named. are representative and successful business men of the | city of Los Angeles, long resident of the city; of financial strength, and are well and favorably known, therefore require no especial mention.
 MT. Heber, the general manager of the company, has recently removed to this city permanently from the city of Chicago. He has been at the head of similar instltutions, and has been suc- cessful He has had large experience in the line of business in which the company proposes to engage. He is also at the head of the Cameron Lake Cattle Company, corporation of which the principal stockholders are Eastern bankers and capitalists, which said company is now preparing to plant to alfalfa and stock with cattle, tract of 10000 acres of land situated in the valley in which this company proposes to transact a portion of it's business.

KENToN, June 13:-Wheat harvest is
rapidly approaching and if, for any
reason, we do not have larger yield,

was very much feared that the recent
blow and rain would knocked down
and tangled up the wheat but it is
found to be still in good shape and
without further damage will be in nice
condition to harvest.
The strawberry crop has about
reached its climax and while there has
been but a short crop, yet we hear some
of the growers says they will realize as
much from them as when they handled
twice as many.
Mr.. Geo. Davis, the oversee of the
road to Clayton has greatly improve d
the same by putting in some large til
ing for drainage. This makes a per-
