Mcdonald Dewberry

This most valuable new berry is of that is, it grows into powerful up right bush. very rigid and stout, and throws out hundreds of lateral branches which hang aud droop in most graceful manner. Wherever these branches touch the ground they take root and form new plants. This berry cannot be equaed for produc- tivcuess, as single plant will yield OH an average of p quarts of perfect fruit. Another most wonderful fca- turc is it's extreme earliness, as 1t ripens its fruit fully week earlier than the earliest de wberry. Its bright green foliage is retained throughout the hottest weather, and in California it is perpetual green.
 The berries are of enormous size, deliciously sweet and very highly favored. in fact, their flavor is wonder full. so melting. rich and sweet-like our best wild blackberries. It is re- markably vigorous grower, and stands heat and cold alike. IL is most ex- cellent shipper and will carry in most excellent condition hundreds of miles. Tn color it is sparkling black.
 This berry will, after it's merits be- come better known. be very extensive ly planted, as the early fruits are the greatest money makers. S. l.. Wat kns. Grizzly Flats. California.

TWO GOOD PRODUCES

There are two especially good pro duets of inc soil which everywhere are grown in great danger of loss from early rains which 1t would be well to test or the Imperial lands. These are beans and raisin grapes.
 Ventura aud Santa Barbara counties Is the great bean country of the United States at present. and the farmers have made big profits out of beans as q general thing for a number of years, in spite of the fact that the losses from early rains are often sc- we're. This year there has been con siderable loss from this cause.
 Fresno county produces great per ccntagc of the entire raisin supply of the United States, and the curing of raisins is SO conducted that much loss or expense iu stacking trays results ems.
 On the Imperial lands there is prac- tically no danger of fall rains. and no reason is known why beans would not dc equally as well here as in Ventura county, while raisins ought to do splcn- didly here, II not being necessary to spread the trays iu the sun. as the fruit would in all probability cure in the trays if stacked, so dry and pure is the air This would dispense with great amount of labor and thereby add to the profit of growing them.

Mining Station

While there is as yet nothing to at tract the miner to Imperial. there is little doubt that in the course of time this will become au imports ant outfit ting station for miners. a. the Im- pcrial valley is surrounded with noun tains iOng known to be rich prospects for minerals. Most of those who im past years died of thirst in ti.is valley were prospectors for gold, and they had brought their supplies with them, mainly from San Bernardino. Los An being created in the valley and water is being spread over vast area. il will be possible for the prospctors to outfit hundred miles nearer the mountains than heretofore. Through the Chuckawalla and other ranges to the north there are many claims, some of which are developing into vaIua ble mines. In the mountains a few miles to the west mining has been i'll prog lCNS Iol NCdi -. nuliC III lII1 SdIlIt Ail- rection. in several localities. it is thought evidences of petroleum exist. In Lower California. in mountain ranges which can be seen from Inn pcrial, are many mining claims. and the country is believed to be rich in minerals. Wherever the fa nous Peg leg mine may be, il seems certain that ii is in one of the ranges which the people of Imperial see every day. While in the Pacacho mountains to the east is probably the greatest ledge of low-gradc gold ore iu the Southwest.
 Mining is HOW taking on q degree of activity never before known in the Southwest, and with many mineral bearing ranges surrounding the I'm pes 1l valley. the people of Imperial cal .!o well to cultivate the acquaiut- auce of mining men and interest them m this section.

This is on the theory that the venom of the snake is an acid and an alkali is necessary to neutralize its influence.

Some CaCkles

Six months from the beginning of
 irrigation in the valley, Imperial set
 tlemcnt is self-suppor,iug in the mat ter of eggs. Ii is record which ex- cecds that of any other colony in
 Southern California. Up to d few days ago eggs were imported from
 Los Angeles, and it goes without say ing that in any case the eggs were not only very expensive, but that they were very active by the time they reached Imperial The result is that from cost of about +5 cents. eggs have dropped to B cents here the Los Angeles price. This is the result of every settler bringing in q small flock of chickens, which now number several thou sand. While the chicken is not usually con sidered of great value, there is really no more potent sign of thrift in any community than their presence.
 Meanwhile several chicken storlcs are being waited across the plain, and some of them have much interest. Mrs !. F.. Evans, for instance. in fol- lowing the destinics of her husband as contractor on the canal. had to move seven times while one hen was setting, notwithstanding which fact the faithful hen, which was named Biddy, hatched every egg
 A. ]. Elliott is the owner of d hen which tried to make record by hatch ing a brood of chickens in fifteen days. and every thing would have stood to her credit had not d hen of Charley Nun. of Hotel Imperial fame. brought out brood in fourteen days. This tendency of hens at Imperial to hasten the task of matching is leading on to the time when chickens will be hatch ed while you wait,
 But there is one hen in the valley which is very discriminating, and which has delighted every resident of the prosperous town of CaleXico. There is naturally little good-natured rivalry between Imperial, Calcxico and other sections of the Imperial set dement, as to the peculiar advantages pf the respective sections, and when hen at Imperial wise and knowing hen decided that she would emigrate and followed a freight team over the ,ixtcen miles to CalcNico. and did so

RAILROAD AGlTATION


 well that it is so, for there is nowhere else in the United states that such great distances exist between railroads as in the section finding its northeast corner in Western Colorado.
 Ii is not strange that each locality is reaching out after more roads. I.os Angeles, with three systems sc. cured Is now reaching out for the fourth. San Diego with one. wants two. And each and every town in Southern California has adopted the motto of Mrs. Mcaus; "Git plenty while yer gittin'"
 And while these divers towns are asserting their claims, along comes Imperial, and as cause for action says: There is no spot on the American Con tincnt, having no railroad. which has the productive power of the Imperial lands. Water k being spread out over land with rapidity which already places IL on par iu point of acreage, with any irrigated section of Southern California. By spring there will be more irrigated land in the Imperial settlement than in any other two ir- rigatcd tracts of Southern California. Within three years there will be more irrigated land in this district than in all the remainder of Southern Califor- uia 's seven counties.
 The settled population has grown from nothing year ago to several hundred now, and the present increase in population of the valley is at rate of three or four thousand persons a year.
 This is without railroad. Ii is in spite of the fac, that freight mus, be hauled in wagons from thirty to forty miles.
 But railroads arc coming. They may not come of their own volition. but the people who are making Inn pcrial arc going to sec that they come, if thcv must build road for them selves within year.
 Los Angeles has captured the Salt Lake road. Los Angeles and San Diego are both whistliug for the Rock Island. and San Diego is projecting road to go out and meet ii. Which ever of the cities gets if. Imperial lands would undoubtedly be crossed, and whichever road crosses the plain
 
 will reap a good reward.
 But does the Southern Pacific rail road intend to permit rival to enter this field and capture business with out asserting it's claims? Its line crosses the plain but very few miles north of the land which will be irrig- atcd. This business is within easy reach of the Southern Paci tic, and il is believed that that road is making au investigation of the work in pro- grcss in this region. But what is the object of that investigation? Can 1t be possible that the Southern Pacific ! Company is planning to come out and create business? Is il now to pursue the policy which has made Jim Hill | famous, and which seems to be the l policy of Senator Clark's Salt Lake ! road and of the Rock Island. of going ont to develop business. or is it going | to let other roads enter this vast field l
