Mir. George has authority to collect internal rev enue on imported articles and stock and to suppress smuggling if 1t is attempted. It Is expected that Calexico will soon have a custom house.

CAIIlI IMPORIAIIONS

It is not generally known that large numbers of cattle have been brought into California from Mexico via the Imperial route for years proceeding the establish mcnt of the town. About a year ago two herds embracing some 1900 head were imported from Lower California and driven through here. That the number will be greatly increased as feed is provided is altogether probable, and there is little doubt that steamers on the Gulf of Cal ifornia will in time gather up thousands of head of cattle on the west coast of Mexico and bring them north to be iattcncd on Imperial lands before being marketed.

Stellar Beauties

The remarkably clear atmos- phcrc of the desert adds to the pleasures of the night, bringing the stars into stronger relief. Just now we are having one of most remarkable groupings of the planets the new century will experience. Venus, the bright est of the planets, Jupiter, the largest and second in brilliancy, and Saturn, second in order of magnitude, but the most remark able bccausc of his rings and bands, are all evening stars, aud hang like sparkling gems in the western horizon in close company. The moon was their passing neighbor last night.

Arm Broken

A young daughter of w. A. Young had the misfortune to fall from burro near the school Monday morning, breaking her left arm between the wrist and elbow. Two other girls drove to town and had returned to the scene with Dr. Blake in such a short space of time that Miss Young was saved much suffering usually caused by delay in arrival of professional aid.

Want Statehood

Arizona wants statehood, and has the power of proving its fit ness for the honor. There is no better test of the character of any people than the newspapers they support. Looking on the Arizona newspapers critically and with no disposition to go out of the way to extend the glad hand, the Press wishes it were possible for every Congressman to be given copy of each with the question:: What State could make better showing of news paper strength and character?"

EARLY WINIfR RAINS

Portions of Southern California are having an early supply of wa- ter. though it is being furnished uncvcnly over the country. Los Angeles has been particularly favored, and the ground is green through Los Angeles county. East of that county there is an evident intent on the part of the grass to grow, but it does not yet make much of 4 showing. A lit- tie snow has fallen on the San Bcrnardino and San Jacinto mountains.
 At Imperial there has been no rain, nor is any anticipated or de- sired. Even in most parts of Southern California there is a desire for winter rains to ekc out the water supply, but on the del- ia of the Colorado river the cli- matic conditions are greatly different, and while rains do come at long intervals, the re- liance of the farmer IS entirely on artificial irrigation, for which there is fortunately d supply of water of unlimited proportions.
 During the storm seasons in Southern California the storm clouds are seen hanging over the crest of the mountain range to the west of Imperial, adding beauty to the scene, and occasionally the wind coming from that direction is somewhat strengthened. That and that only is Imperial's part in the storms of Southern Cali fornia.

Heavy Mail

Mail at Imperial is steadily gaining in bulk. The heaviest yet brought in was that of last Monday, when the stage landed about 300 pounds. Two or three sacks on each of the three mail days is a fair average, while the amount sent out is of about the same bulk. This is considered fairly good for a six-months-old town.
