The first work on the construction of the Imperial and Gulf railroad was ahead until the roadbed and bridges are completed between the Southern Pacific line and Imperial.
 w. F. Holt, president of the Imperial and Gulf Railroad Company has been in the valley for some days. and on Monday he let the contract to George A, Carter X Go. for grading the road, the work to be done by the cubic yard. MT. Carter at once set about getting his equipment of mules and graders ready, and OH Thursday ground was broken for the new road.
 It is expected to push work on the roadbed and to then put in the bridges which will be required. IL is expected that there will be a delay of several months in getting ties and rails. so great is the demand for them, and it is not considered probable that the laying of the track will be begun be- fore fall.
 Engineer J. H. Mather and his party are at work OH the permanent survey, the country being so level that it was

GRADING OF RAILROAD
 WAS BEGUN THIS WEEK

not considered necessary to complete the survey before beginning grading.
 The thoroughness with which Mir. Carter has done his work on the irriga- tion system and his fine equipment of mules is assurance that good work and great activity will mark the construc- ton of the roadbed of the Imperial and Gulf.
 The present contract calls for the grading of the road from Imperial to Old Beach, though it is the intention later to extend the road through Pa ringa and Calexico to the Gulf of Cal ifornia.
 President Holt has had his eye OH the future, and has acquired d very valuable right of way for the road through Imperial This includes a tier of town blocks mile long and embracing all the land between M and N streets. The road will traverse the west side of the strip, with the depot between Eighth and Ninth streets. The raiload company will not only have ample ground for freight and stock yards, but it will have much land to lease for such lines of business as cluster about railroads.

fASTSIDt PROGRESS

An eastern correspondent who owns land east of Carter river writes the Press making inquiries regarding lm- perial Water Go. No. 5 and the East side lands, which he says he under stands are III trouble. It is not known the water company in Eastside are in any trouble, aside from the annoying delay which has been occasioned by a failure on the part of the Sunset Com mercial Company to complete the irri- gation system on stipulated time, but which system is now being built by the California Development Company, and which is nearing completion.
 There was all agreement made be- tween the California Development Company, owner of the main canal, and the Sunset Commercial Company whereby the latter was to market the Eastside water shares and build the distributing system on that side. Pledges were made to the buyers of shares that the system would be com pleted by given date. For some reason the Sunset Commercial Com pany did not put in the system, though water was sold for 5000 acres. Fin ally the California Development Com pany took oil itself the task of con structing the system in Eastside, as it had done in the Imperial section be- tween the two rivers. For months a large force of men and teams have been at work on the Eastside system, and, as stated, it is now nearing com pletion to the extent of irrigating the 15,000 acres filed on.
 There is some ground of contention between the Sunset Commercial com pany and the California Development Company, but that contention is not believed to directly or indirectly affect the interests of Imperial Water Com pany No. 5 nor of the owners of land in Eastside, so long as their water sys tenn is completed promptly and satis- factorily, which is now certainty of the near future.
 It has also been developed during the last few days that there is conten- tion between stockholders in the Sun set Commercial Company, but these are matters entirely foreign to the actual development of the valley, the !

Lent Durfee's Health Ruined


Oshkosh, May 6. Lieut.. Oscar
Durfee, who has just been re.
leased from a Cuban prison, after
two years of confinement, is said
to have been SO changed by his
Imprisonment that his friends
could hardly recognize him. He
has changed in appearance from
a young and vigorous man to one
apparently old and feeble. He
hopes, however, to recuperate
with his liberty.
Lieut.. Durfee is "a sonof Mrs.
James Durfee of this city. He
was formerly a lieutenant in the
United States army, commanding
the second company of United
States engineers.
He was charged with embezzle-
ment of funds belonging to the
Cardenas and San Fernando rail
road. In an official investigation
it was shown that Mr.. Durfee
was not supplied with the
proper government blanks at
first and in making payments
received only commercial re
ceipts for such amounts, which
are not acceptable to the govern
ment. Later, when the proper
blanks we're supplied, he used
that form, but the former
amounts were charged up to him
as shortage. He was denied a
trial under the United States
jurisdiction and was convicted in
a Cuban court. An Investigation
was finally made and he was
completely exhonerated.
An offer was made to LIEUT.
Durfee to release him some time
ago, but he would accept free
dom only under the condition
that it was with an exhoneration
Of all suspicion Of any shady
transaction. His sentence was
for eight years, Of which he had
served nearly two.

JU DGE PARISH TALKS OF THE
SOUTH.

SOUTH.
JUDGE PARISH is quoted in the
Biloxi, Mississippi, Daily Herald,
at some length, and his opinions
of the southland are given par
ticular Importance. The Judge
has spent two winters in the
Mississippi town, where he has
recuperated his health, and en-
joyed the vacation from the cares
and the responsibilities of the
life on the bench. The judge
says among other things that
"the south is fourishing, and
the prosperity there seems to be
greater than ever before. The
section lines are fast fading
away, and many Of the most IN
telligent men who bore arms
against the union in the civil
war, now frankly acknowledge
that it was best for them that
the war for the preservation of
the union terminated successful
/ ly.
"During President Arthur IS
administration, scientific test
was made of the atmosphere
along the Atlantic seaboard, and
the gulf coast, and it was demon
strated that the air between
Ocean Springs and Pass Chris
ton (Bilox being the most per-
manent town between these two
places) contained more ozone
than elsewhere. The more
ozone there is in the atmosphere
the more pure and healthful it is.
Biloxi, like many other southern
cities is supplied with artesian
well water, which is so pure that
it is shipped to adjoining states
for that reason, and prescribed
by physicians. With the pure air,
pure water and semi TROPICAL
climate, and with great abund-
ance of sea food, which can be
had at a nominal cost, Biloxi is
an exceedingly popular resort for
the tourist and for those seeking
to regain their health.

Shortly after the close of the
war between the states, and DUR
ing the time when the negro ele-
ment controlled the politics OF
the state, there was much pre-
judice against the north and
against the republican party, ex-.
listing on the part of the whites.
This is fast disappearing as evi-
dence by the fact that the vote
polle6 for President Mckinley in
1900 was more than double that
polled for him in 1896. The race
question has been eliminated
from politics by certain restric
ton which have been placed upon
the ballot. The south is inviting
and receiving the aid of northern
capital in developing it's wonder
full resources.
