Business for a Railway.

The report brought over from Inn perial, which was on the desert, but which is no longer on the desert be- cause the desert has moved, or rather has been moved-is mighty encourag- ing to those who would see the San Diego Eastern hallway constructed and operated distinctly as an inde- pendent and always locally managed railway. Mir. Holt shows that 2000 acres of barley are now growing. which it is estimated will alone pro duce 300 carloads of grain.
 This is the result of the very first season of irrigation-the water it will be remembered was not turned on un- til last July. There are over in that Imperial region 500.000 acres within easy reach of present irrigation facili- ties and another 500,000 within possi- ble reach of irrigation, and which will ultimately be irrigated. so sure as there is demand for the products of irrigation.
 If 2000 acres will produce 800 car loads of grain. what will be the output of 500.000 acres? The figures would show ten trainloads a day. more or less but it is certain that it would be enough to keep more than one rail way line busy.
 The great bulk of this grain output would be exported through this har- bor as the shortest cut to market, and there can be no doubt therefore about business for an independent line, whether it has or has not con nections with any trans-continental line.

More Reports from Imperial.

The San Bernardino Times-Index publishes the result of an interview with D. c. Whiting of that place. which reads as follows:
 D. c. Whiting, the creamery man. has just returned from Imperial. and is full of enthusiasm over that country. Mir Whiting has recently purchased an entire section of land about eight miles from the town of Imperial, and is preparing to plant it to alfalfa. In fact he already has 320 acres plowed and ready to SOW and the seed will soon be in the ground.
 Mir Whiting is very confident that he will get crop off the land that will surprise alfalfa growers of a less favored section He intends to trans fer a portion of his thoroughbred Jer- sey herd to the ranch and breed on a larger scale than ever,
 Work on the railroad from Old Beach, a point on the Southern Pacific four miles from Flowing Wells has begun, the survey having already been completed. The surveyors are also busy running the lines and set ting the stakes for the road that is to run from San Diego to Imperial
 Hay is still high in the colony and bids fair to remain so as hundreds of cattle are being driven that way with view to fattening them on the al falfa raised there. Some of the barley sowed last fall is already headed out and ready to cut, while watermelon vines are in bloom and will soon have young melons on them.
 Altogether the outlook from MT. Writings point of view, is very en- couraging, and he is greatly pleased with his prospects.

Richardson of Lincoln, Neb.. left to- day for the New River country over land, where Mir Richardson has taken up large amount of government land. Mir.

Richardson has taken up a home stead on the desert he will make his home there most of the time.

A delightful evening, and one that will be valuable for the instruction im- parted, will be provided at Polls to- morrow evening, when William H. Josselyn will give his magnificent pie torial illustration of Ben Hur,'' This great dramatic reproduction of General Wallace's famous novel, as is well known, has necessarily been confined to Boston in New England, and so it has been seen only by those who have been able to bear the expense of a trip to New York or the Hub. Mr Jossely1A however, has secured 116 elegant col ored illustrations of the play. and these are thrown on the screen enlarged into pictures 32x34. so as to give a com plete detailed idea of the production. The famous chariot race is shown in thirty-eight scenes and an accompany ing description is given which makes the entertainment as interesting as it IS instructive. Admission 10, 20 and 30 cents.

Their conception of the Irish serving girl is a natural type that has no breath of caricature or exaggeration in it, and is about as neat an exposition of the Irish character as refined art can make it. The act ought to prove a great success here, as it has in every city of importance on both continents, for it must be remembered that the Russells have played in this role all over Europe.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR GROUP.

(From the Atchison, Kan, Daily Globe
 This is the season when the woman who knows the best remedies for croup is i'll demand in every neighbor- hood One of the most terrible things in the world is to be awakened in the middle of the night by a whoop from one of the children. The croup rem edies are almost as sure to be lost in case of croup, as a revolver is sure to be lost in case of burglars. There used to be an old-fashioned remedy for croup, known as hive syrup and tolu, but some modern mothers say that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is better, and does not cost so much. It causes the patient to ''throW up the phlegm" quicker. and gives relief in 9 shorter time. Give this remedy as soon as the croupv cough appears and it will prevent the attack. It never fails and is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by all druggists.

The Allied Printing Trades council of Chicago recently received the fol- lowing communication:
 Allied Printing Trades Council:
 Gentlemen:-I was referred to you for information pertaining to the use of the union label. I publish a local paper, and conduct job office in con- nection with it. For the past two years or more have employed no help outside my own family. My two boys, one aged thirteen past, and the other fifteen past. have worked in the office over five years. They are com petent compositors, and the older one is a fair job printer. Now, the ques- ton wish to submit to you is this: Are my boys entitled to membership in the union, and if they become mem bers would the office be entitled to the use of the label? We have city of 1000 people, with two printing of fees, but as both publishers are print CTS, and each have good-sized families, they manage to get along without any outside help. We have large num- Der of union men here, and they are anxious to have the label so that their work can be done at home. Any in formation will be duly appreciated.
 Respectfully, -
 Of course the council was glad to hear of the increased demand for the label, but at last report it's use had not been granted to that city of 1000 peo- pie.

ions so long as their principal duty, as members of the militia, is to aid in the breaking of strikes. In regard to this J. N. Bogart, the well known labor writer, says: Suppose a union goes out on strike and the strike becomes so big that the militia should be called out to watch the strikers and prevent trouble. Tn several cases a trade union contains quite number of militia members. When man must forswear one for the other what course should his conscience dictate? He might know that there was not a minimum chance for bloodshed, but the question would still have to be de- cided by the man quite as earnestly and finally"

The Winchester Repeating Arms Go of New Haven has been laying off many men of late, and the cause has been the subject of much comment, the company refusing to give any req son. As there has been considerable trouble between this concern and the Machinists' union, owing to their re- fusal to recognize the latter or grant the nine-hour day this may have some thing to do with their lack of work. The case was taken up by the Machin- ists' International union and it is said that very effective war has been waged against the products of the Winchester factory. The outside world has known but little about the matter, but it is asserted that some of their very best customers have discon- tinned their orders while many others have greatly curtailed theirs.

respondent sends the following regard
Ing the finding of four skeletons in
that place yesterday
While excavatlng a place in which
to put the elevator the men unearthed
several skeletons These bones were
in good state of preservation and are
supposed to be those of white people,
although one has much the appearance
of belonging to an Indian. There
were four skeletons found, the skulls
and Jaws of which have retained their
natural form and siza. They were
found about three feet below the sur
face The place where they were found
was located almost directly under
where the old elevator stood and their
discovery has created quite a sensa-

as to why, when and how they came
there. Some think that they could
not have been buried more than 90
years. The bones were all taken to
the lumber Office, where they can lie
seen at any time.
