This road is planned to be built from Yuma west ward through the Imperial Settle ments via Calexico, Paringa and I'm perial, towards Los Angeles, and will be either extended to that city or con- nected with some other standard gauge railroad tha. will make satis- factory connections with the South ern metropolis. There will thus be one branch line built northward from Imperial to connect with the Southern Pacific, and another branch line southward from Calexico to the head of the Gulf of California. The road from the Southern Pacific to Imperial and thence to Calexico will be graded during the coming winter and will be put in active running order soon thereafter. g->'.

canal system and other hundreds of horses and cattle that would ; be brought into the settlements by act ual settlers before anything could be raised in the spring of 1902. This first trial of the soil and climate was eminently satisfactory s@. >
 A Gigantic Enterprise
 The work of colonizing and reclaim ing the Colorado Delta is one of the most gigantic enterprises ever at tempted in California. Because of it's magnitude the canal system was called the Imperial Canal, and Imper- ial Settlements is the name by which that section of country is known.
 What Has Been Done?
 Settlers have taken possession of 125,OO0 acres of land and secured water rights for the same from the Imperial Canal System.
 This system of canals has been so far extended that water can be used this next season on practically any of the land now taken from the Gov ernment.
 The town of Imperial has been plat ted and business has been started there in good style. There is hotel, a post office, general merchandise store, stage station, a printing office where the Imperial Press twelve page paper with four columns to the page-is printed, church with parsonage-a regular little white New England church with spire-and the First National Bank of Imperial has been organized and will be ready for business by the first of next year.
 The town of Calexico has also been plated. It is located on the boundary line about sixteen miles south of Im- perial. Here is to be found the head quarters of the California Develop ment Company in large, double adobe building. A general merchan- disc store is also to be found here and the town-only few weeks old is growing finely.
 The town of Paringa is plated but no improvements have been made there as yet. It is located midway be- tween the other two towns.
 The town of Imperial is located about 28 miles south of the Southern ooooooooocccoooooococcccc

FROM DESERT TO GARDEN.
THE COLORADO DELTA-THE MOST WORTHLESS DESERT
 7 IN THE COUNTRY NOW BEING RECLAIMED AND COLON1ZED BY ENERGETIC AMERICANS.
LARGEST IRRIGATION SYSTEM IN THE UNITED STATES.


 idly an extensive, prosperous and wealthy community that will in the next few years add many millions to the assessment roll of the State and many thousands of names to the great register and probably one to the fam fly of counties.
 'In the Beginning.
 About fifty years ago, Dr. Wozen- craft of San Bernardino, commenced an investigation of project to re- claim this desert by means of water taken from the Colorado river. He presented his plans to Congress ask ing for a grant of the lands to be re- claimed.
 In 1858 the Committee on Public Lands in the House of Representa- tives reported favorably on the conces- sions asked for. About the same time the State of California conditionally surrendered it's claims to the lands in that county-lands that were abso- lutely of no value.
 Engineers reported to both the State and the National Government endorsing the plans proposed by Dr. Wozencraft which contemplated a heading on the Colorado river at what was known as the Hanlon Head ing and the use of the Carter river channel through Lower California to convey the water from the Colorado river to the lands to be irrigated.
 Other Business On Hand.
 Soon after this the civil war broke out and the project was necessarily abandoned.
 Dr. Wozencraft evidently lived about a half century too soon. Had he suc- ceeded in getting his grant from Con- gress and interested capital to con- struct his expensive works. there is no doubt but that an attempt to have colonized these lands at that time would have been a failure.
 Land, Water and Man.
 Land without water has no value. Water without land has no value, and water and lana without man to utilize them have no value.
 The great question in retaining the Colorado Delta has been: would man come along and utilize the land and water when they were brought together?
 Magnitude of the Enterprise. body of arid land susceptible of irri- gation to be found in the United States, and has a more than abun- dant supply of water in the Colorado river to irrigate the same.
 Tn this Delta there are fully 5OO,OOO acres of choice land that can be irri- gated in the State of California and 100000 acres that can be irrigated across the line in Lower California.
 There are two kinds of deserts-the reclaimable and the irreclaimable. The reclaimable desert consists of a fertile soil that is desert only be- cause of it's aridity. Plenty of water will convert such desert into fertile fields. The irreclaim- able desert is composed of sand,
Imperial press and farmer., 1901-11-30

Another Move Made.
 After the abandonment of the Dr. Wozencraft's' proposition, the question O. retaining the Colorado Delta was lad to rest for nearly forty years. About 1890 other attempts were made to reclaim this great desert, but on account of the panic of 1892 and other causes, nothing was accom- plished in the way of construction un- til 1900, although extensive surveys were made, land was purchased and a valuable property was accumulated.
 During the spring of 1900 Mr. George Chaffey, having made an ex- tensive and careful examination of the entire enterprise, contracted with the California Development Company for an interest in the company and un- dertook to deliver water on the des- ert within a given time.
 A Competent Irrigation Engineer.
 Mr. George Chaffey is we'll known in California and in Australia as one of the leading irrigation engineers o1 the age. He has always managed his own enterprises and has never managed enterprises for other people He founded Ontario and Etiwanda- two successful irrigated settlements in Southern California, and then on the invitation of the Australian Gov ernment he went to that country and established Mildura and Remark furnishing the water to these settle ments by means of mammoth pumps which cost over 5O0,OOO-eight of the centrifugal pumps having discharge pipes four feet in diameter. All of successful.
 Work Commenced.
 In April 1900, actual work was commenced and it has been pushed rapidly ever since.
 In June, 1901, an abundant supply of water was delivered through the new canal system crossing the Inter national Boundary Line back into the State of California, again about sixty miles west of the Colorado River.
 During the year prior to the de- livery of water, the work of resurvey- ing the public lands and laying plans for the settlement of the country pro- gressed favorably, and at the end of the year there had been over one hun dred thousand acres of land filed on by proposed settlers either under the Desert Land Act or under the Home stead Act
 A School District.
 In April, 1901, the Imperial School District was formed by the Super visors of San Diego County, and in the September following a school was opened in ramada, which consists of nine posts as supports sustaining a covering of brush to keep off the sun. Besides this ramada was placed a tent in which to keep the books, etc., at night and Tn which to take ref uge in case of storm although it rare- ly storms. As yet there had been no opportunity to build a school house. and the law required the establish roonf oP school ot ~r;xor &;....
