Tnf RETURN TRIP

The return trip was as pleasant as the outgoing one. We left Imperial at s:30 Monday morning, at which time the thermometer registered S2. Just before our departure Supervisor Jasper made short speech on behalf of the crowd for the courtesies shown by Col. Ferguson and the people of Imperial and Col. Ferguson made short re- ply. Then another vote of thanks was rendered to Chinese Charley, the cook. for the really splendid meals he had served.

Melons and Grapes Now Being
 Shipped
They are Proving Very Popular in the San Francisco Market far
 Tier Than Elsewhere

MATURE has so favored the section " of country so widely known as the Colorado Desert that by uniting water with the soil it is possible to produce all kinds of garden truck, melons, ber- ries, grapes, etc, and place them on the market from two weeks to two months in advance of any other part of the country, and the capacity of the United States to consume the early productions of the country insures a market for the products of this valley that can never be over-supplied, thus in- suring fancy prices.
 Indio, which place is coming into considerable notice this year for it's capacity to produce, earlier than any other section of California, Thomp sons Seedless grapes, and the famous Rocky Ford melons; is on the same plain of the Colorado which surrounds Imperial from every direction. The only material difference in the two places is that Indio has railroad ac- commodations, while Imperial has d railroad coming; and that Imperial has thousands of acres, while Indio has hundreds, making it possible to re- claim its land by the use of artisan water, while all artificial river has been dredged from the mighty Colorado and run through the Imperial country for the purpose of retaining its fertile lands from the grasp of the desert.
 For more than month Thompson's Seedless grapes have been shipped from Indio to different markets, which Is two months earlier than they are produced in any other section. The the coast with melons for several weeks. All this can be supplemented several times over in the Imperial country. We have precisely the same climatic conditions, and the exact quality of soil. The one thing which was lacking-water-w now have, and an abundance too.
 Relative to Indios melons the San Francisco Chronicle of recent date says: San Francisco is this season re- ceiving melons from district hereto fore unknown as fruit growing sec ton. The desert around Indio, River side county, Cal, has been made ac- cessible to a water supply, and the re- suit is that the vicinity is now largely engaged in the production of nutmeg melons. The seed is said to be that of the famous original Rocky Ford melons of Colorado.
 The melons from Indio are consider ably earlier than the Rocky Ford crop, and are now arriving on the San Fran cisco market in ample supply, bring ing fancy prices.
 Indio has also been supplying san Francisco with watermelons, the first arrivals bringing upwards of 7s cents each.

AFTER A FAT

Another Curious Home Rule
Measure Which Sets Organic

DR.. Nicholas Russell, ex-President of
the Senate and now only an ordinary
legislator, wants to be president of the
reorganized Board of Health There is
a good, fat salary attached to the office,
which will go along with the honor If
House bill &c passes both Houses and
the Governor attaches his signature
thereto.
House bill IS was introduced by Rep
resentative F. w. Beckley on March 81,
but it is generally conceded that Russell
is the author of the measure, and that
he will back it in the Senate for all it
is worth. Every member of the Board of
Health under the plan drafted by DR..
Russell, will have a salary, ana a good
one at that. In fact, the reorganization
Of the Board of Health on this basis,
for the salaries of the officers alone,
will cost the taxpayers just $4,000 per
year. There are general officers most
of whom shall be members of the Board
itself, while there is an unspecified num-
Der of sanitary officers and sanitary po-
Icemen. The full list of persons to be
paid until the reorganization, and it GER
tainly looks easy, until the salaries are
footed up, is as follows:

OF recourse except the old European
idea that Knight makes right" the
shop or factory is burned or the
breaker blown up, property is dis
troyed, the militia ls called out, some
of the strikers are shot, some impris-
oned while great many scatter over
the country in every direction, burning
with hatred of our Institutions, while
their places are filled With fresh sup
ply of the same kind
Some of these men IN time drift into
organizations of their craft as their
only hope of, it may be, retaliation,
and they are to be condoned and sup
pressed. We do not wish to be under
stood as placing all foreign labor in
this class. The Intelligent foreigner
who comes to this country to better
his condition, to learn our language
and customs, and to become an Amer
lean citizen, constitute large per-
:centage of our honest, upright, manly
laborers, and are desirable addition
to our citizenship. But there is y
class, not laborers but thugs, who have
brought much discredit upon labor.
These are the scum found in all our
large cities, (and SIN Ill ones too, for
that matter) who delight in the de-
struction of property, whether there Is
any benefit i'll it for them or not, and
in case of a big strike their opportun-
ity occurs and property of all kinds is
destroyed, stores plllaged and buildings
burned, and labor beers the blame.
1t is a noticeable fact, that in the
arrests for the destruction of property
during the strikes ofthe last ten years,
not one man in five was in anyway
connected with the strike. AS we
have said before, the great body of
American laborers are mon of intelli
gence, aud they are we'll aware that
every dollars worth of property dis
troyed, lessons just that much their
opportunity of employment, so when
laborer destroys property he injuries
his own prospects of employment and
loses public sympathy as we'll. But of
course. whenever anything of this
kind occurs during strike, it is al
ways the strikers who don't and the
Stigma is laid at the feet of labor.
Our next will be on the necessity for
the organization of labor.

1t is reflection on mans reason that
he often refuses to do what common
sense dictates, until he is forced to do
1t. Common sense tells man that he
cannot live irregularly and keep his
health. He is warned and admonished
time and again that hasty eating and
irregular meals result in diseases Of the

UNHEEDED WARNINGS.
It is only when all her warnings have
been UNDECIDED that Nature no longer
says uYou should not" but vYou shall

when the lover of high living has to give
up dainty dishes, sweets and condiments
and come down to diet of oatmeal or
tea and toast.
There are thousands of dyspeptics
whose condition shuts them out from all
the pleasures of the table. There are
Thousands of others who are on the high

The great fact is that every man and
