HEARD AWAY FROM HOME

It is a notable fact that the geese which saved Rome by their hissing have never had duplicates in the worlds history, and the goose who has been filling the Riverside Enter prise and the Los Angeles papers with stories to the effect that Imperial val ley is disrupted over politics, etc., and that all this is being remedied by the appearance on the scene of F. G. Ravens of Riverside, must take his place with the other geese whose hiss ings have awakened no emotion more serious than merriment.
 As the Riverside story goes, there are two factions at Imperial, each of which, from the lurid descriptions given, might be imagined to have been drawn up in phalanx form, armed with squirt guns and other deadly weapons, each determined to exterminate the other, until Ravens appeared on the scene. Having been bug chaser in Riverside county, ndNcHS WdS iihiSSii SoiiS'hi'S oi "" expert with d squirt gun, and easily succeeded i'll breaking one phalanx af- ter the other and putting the contend ing factions to route, himself mount ing pedestal from which he could be surveyed in all his glory by the en- tire populace.
 This is an interesting story, and would be even more so if it contained the element of truth, even in dwarfed form.
 Another feature of the story is that
Imperial press and farmer., 1901-12-21

Imperial county is to be cut out of San Diego and Riverside counties and Indio made the county seat. This is to be done in revenge against San Diego, which in some mysterious way has won the eternal enmity of the en- tire populace of the Imperial valley. The fact is not stated, but its mean ing can easily be read between the lines, that the people of Imperial ex- pect, as soon as the county organiza- ton is perfected, to send an armed force against San Diego and reduce it to ashes, giving the entire populace to the sword. Of course this will not be until Indio has been made the county seat of Imperial county, and that may possibly never be, for Flowingwell, or Iris, or Volcano Springs, or Rancher- ita, or Eastside, or Ganges, or Paringa, or Calexico, or Blue Lake, or Indian Wells, or Jacumba Valley or Clover Flat-to say nothing of Imperial--may succeed in getting the court house away from Indio. But if Indio ever does succeed in getting the court house, then beware, for the oracle of Riverside has spoken and in clear and unmistakable terms foretold thereby the doom of San Diego.
Imperial press and farmer., 1901-12-21

Along New river, three and a half miles northwest of Imperial, is one of the spots which is we'll worthy of study, and which comparatively few people have visited. It is in that vicin- ity that a bed of sharp river sand is found, covered with thin layer of small fragments of shale. About a mile further west is a pyramidal pile of broken sandstone, though with some indications that portion of the rock is in place. It is evident that the sand is not related to the rock, for the for mer is of granite nature, while the rock is of sandstone.
 To all appearances the sand deposit is the bed of an old river and yet 1t lies at higher elevation than the sur rounding plain, and is in the form of a gentle rise, being traceable for about a half mile from the northwest to the southwest From the topography of the country it would seem that this might have been the bed of San Felipe river, which comes from the San Ja- cinto mountains, and now leads to Salton basin, though it seldom carries water in these days. Whatever may have been the origin of the sand, 1t Is certain that in this portion of the val lev, when the sand was deposited, the general level of the plain was higher than at present, and that in long years the soil has been slowly washed down and carried northward, all but the small fragments of the river bed having disappeared.
 As to the pyramid of sandstone, there is field for speculation. 1t is within a quarter of mile ot New river, and there are some reasons to believe that a chain of such hills eX- isted leading across the western portion of the plain to Superstition mountain, but in the deep gorge of New river no sign of the extension of the rock for nation is to be seen. The rock Ill places shows erosion from water, but to no such degree as would be expected in rock which had lain in the ocean, There are places where the rock seems to be laid in pavement form by human hands, and as no great boulders are present, and as even the rock which Is apparently in place is broken into rother uniform blocks of brick or adobe size, there is possibility that

Alfalfa not Killed

It is an interesting fact that alfalfa which had just appeared above ground, hsv wing two or three leaves, has not been injured by the frosts. Many people expected the small plants to be killed, as they would have been in many localities.
Imperial press and farmer., 1901-12-21
IT IS A LAND OF MYSTERY

in this pyramid is the handiwork of the lost race which has left so many evidences of its existence through the Southwest. This is simply a pos sibility, there being nothing in the rocks to either make this certain or impossible. There are many frag- ments of Indian pottery scattered over all the plain, and much of it is to be seen near the pyramid, a fact which is more clearly than that for many gen erations various Indian tribes, and especially the Cocopahs, have been frequenters of the plain.
 There would certainly be nothing strange if the future would lead to discoveries of remains of the half civil ized people who built cities and irriga- ton systems through Arizona and New Mexico. Tradition has it that at least two waves of humanity and there were probably morel, known as Toltecs and Aztecs, have moved southward through the southwestern portion of the United States into Mexico, leaving d chain of ruined cities in their wake, just as the waves of the Aryan race pressed to the westward from Asia into Europe and to the southward into India. Those olden people were in
 1Nsl f~ln SnIx v~p1nt tad tn tt,., cliff-dwelers and to the pueblo Indians, many of whom lived near or in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado river or in smaller ones leading into the great one. They built their cities and their irrigation works on land watered by the Salt and Gila rivers and other streams tributary to the Colo rado. That people numbering hun dreds of thousands of individuals should be ignorant of the country below them on the stream from which hardly conceivable, especially wher they were intelligent enough to emf grate in great bodies in the genera course of the river to lands hundred of miles further away in Mexico.
 Outside of any evidence to show tha this valley was ever inhabited by tha ancient race, the proba bility mus remain that they knew of the valley and present inhabitants will do we'll tt be continually on the lookout for evi dences of their works.

imperial NdllSy' Iioodoiy HioiS lives are to be sacrificed during the next year than all the people who have pcrished by the sword in all American wars, and in this wholesale slaughter which is being enacted, and which is to be continued for some that of the right of might, for those who are doomed to perish are simply the rodents, the lizards and other creatures whose ancestors have made their homes on this broad plain for tens of thousands of years, and the pretty creatures have no rights which man feels bound to respect.
 Still there is s pathetic feature to the wholesale destruction of these minor beings, for they have made an heroic fight against forces which have banished from the plain all animal life save themselves and prowling coyotes. The latter have found no ! portion of the desert which they could
 
 were secure against enemies. Now the coyote will be driven away by the advent of man. A few of them will be shot or trapped, but the great majority will simply be driven back into the mountains.
 Not such, however, will be the fate of the rodents and lizards which have managed to subsist, for they are be- ing drowned by the tens of thousands as the irrigation water spreads out over an ever-increasing area of the valley, finding it's way into the under ground homes which they have con structed with wonderful diligence and wonderful pains.
 The trading rats of the desert; the r kangaroo rats, with white bellies and l. long hind legs; a speces of ground s squirrel and lizards, all dwarfed to pu- , ny size, have their holes scattered over the entire valley, in places where 1t : would seem impossible for animal life to exist on account of tlie absence of water or even moisture in atmosphere or soil How the privations of drought have told upon the species can be seen in the tiny forms to which they have shrunk, and one cannot consider their long generations of conflict with drought without feeling that after all there is an element of pathos in their wholesale destruction. Could these harmless creatures but read in the Bible the pledge, solemnized by the creation of the rainbow, and specifi- cally made to both man and brute, that the world would never again be destroyed by a deluge, what would be their thoughts as they witnessed the steady advance of the water, bringing wholesale death to their race? It is not an evasion of the pledge, but could the petty brutes comprehend the necessity of promoting human welfare by the wholesale destruction of them selves?
 It is true, however, that these petty creatures might easily become pests to prey on mans productive energy, were it not that the irrigation of the country is extermin- ating them, and hence, if looked upon
