Water Works Preparations

Ground was broken this week for the domestic water works for Imperial, which will be operated in connection with the ice plant. There will be a brick settling basin into which water will be drawn from Date lateral. The water will then be drawn through a filter into d tank, which will be used jointly by the ice factory and the do- mestic system. Water will be piped through town and distilled water will be sold by the ice factory, all ice being made from distilled water.
 The Imperial Light, Water and Power Company has elected the fol- lowing officers: President, J. w.. Oakley; vice-president and general manager, H. C. Oakley; secretary, F. C. Paulin; Urea asurer, w. F. Holt.

Growing beets but once in three years in the same field, there will be enough land in California under this irrigation system for ten factories like the one at Oxnard, and the record of the OXnard factory la st nll

SENSIBLE RAILROAD PROJECT

lined what it believed to be the inevit- able future of the Southern Pacific railroad in this section, which was to pass south of the sand hills forming the eastern border of the desert, and then take a long sweep through Inn perial and Indio, in section destined to be one of the richest agricultural possessions of the country.
 When the article referred to was written it was not presumed that the idea had ever been considered by the officials of the company, and now that the Los Angeles papers bring reports that that is just what the Southern Pacific Company is preparing to do at once, the surpassing modesty of the Press does not permit it to imagine that the men who control the destiny of the great railroad are coming to the Press for advice regarding the management of the railroad.
 But the universal comment oil the story republished from the Los Ange- les Herald on another page is that it is the most feasible and sensible railroad project yet outlined for this section.
 To say that it is the best thing for Imperial does not imply that it is not best for all parties in interest.
 Particularly does it seem that this would be a good move for Los Angeles and San Diego, for the interests of those cities are not essentially antag- onistic. A Southern Pacific branch from Imperial to San Diego would make of that town one the western termini of the road, and would take to the bay from this valley and Arizona thousands of people who wish 10 re- pair to the coast during the heat of summer. It would also lead to the ere ation of large commercial dealing be- tween this section and San Diego. As for Los Angeles, whatever the future may develop, for the present it is the supply depot for all the far Southwest, and as such is steadily increasing in importance. There is not a town but is benefited by close business relation ship with that most progressive of American cities.
 The half million acres which are being brought under irrigation in San Diego county will yet be paying to some railroad or railroads from $5 to $1O all acre each year for freight, and it is not probable that the Southern Pacific road is blind to the possibili- ties of country which is getting ready to contribute millions of dollars a year to its gross earnings.
 We do not understand it to be cer- tainty that the road will be built to San Diego. It may simply go on to Los Angeles as of old, except on new route. But with the road within 125 miles of San Diego, at Imperial, it would seem highly probable that a branch would be built there, or that the San Diego Eastern would have it's eastern terminus at Imperial, instead of at Yuma, until it is ready to make connection with some etranscontinental road other than the Southern Pacific.
 Railroads are not in the habit of taking the general public into their confidence, and the exact plans of the Southern Pacific are not yet revealed, oil h, p,tf

~ VIII Not be Moved.

In behalf of the Belding City Gem
etery association would ask through
your columns to say to all interested
In TINS cemetery to not be alarmed by
anything they hear or read about
moving our city cemetery, as every
thing Matched up by those heartless
enough to want such thing done has
been thoroughly investigated and
nothing found to Justify any cause
why that cemetery can't be left where
1t Is. Before they have any more to
say we would like them to find out at
least which way the drainage is, we
have never known water to run up
hill without being backed by some
power. Our association has done well
financially in the short time we have
been organized and we are sure in the
near future to have our cemetery
credit to our town instead of the for
lorn looking place it was getting to
look like. We don't mean by this that
our City councils have all been blamed
although everyone knows that it was
the duty of the city to have kept
this cemetery fenced but we find that
there has been quite an effort put
forth by some parties for private gain
to do away with this cemetery, that it
has interferred with what the city
might have done, but we hope the
city is now awakened to what is going
on and will with us do better in the
future. AS for typhoid fever we add
NIT there has been cases in every
part of the city but there is more than
one cause for that. The present cpl
demic of it in Grand Rapids is laid to
bad milk used we are informed. And
again we would say don't forget to go
to the cemetery next Saturday after
noon the oath with tools to work.

1t is not generally understood-ex-
cept by the so called tax title sharks
Just how, and the length of time
after purchase, tax title becomes a
valid lien or title against the proper
ty that may be sold for delinquent
taxes. The time for redemption is
one year, during which time the own
er of property may redeem by paying
the tax title holder 100 per cent on or
over the amount that was paid for
said tax title certificate. After the
sale the owner has one year in which
to redeem his property. If he does
not redeem it in one year, then the
purchaser gets title from the State,
which is good against any other title
for whatever title the deed calls for,
provided always the proceedings in
the case have been regular. The own
er must then make the best terms he
can with the tax title holder if he
wishes to get back his property.

Canada continues to increase her
purchases from the United States,
despite the tariff advantages accorded
Great Britain in the fiscal system of
that country. During the nine
months of the present fiscal year for
which details are available, British
North America showed a larger in
Grease in its purchases from the
United States than any other political
division of America, as compared
with those of the corresponding peri
DDS of 1900 and 1901. Our total eX-
ports to British North America in
creased from 800. 1853, $50 i'm the nine
months of 1900, and 81, 1874, 1873 in the
same period of 1901 To $50, 999,004 in
the corresponding months of the cur
rent year. To Mexico the increase
during the same period compared
with that of last year was but two
million dollars and to the West Indies
one million dollars, while the Central
American States showed a decrease
of about $500, 900 and South America
about $4,000,000 in their purchases
from the United States during the 9
months of the present fiscal as com
pared with the same period of the
preceding year.
The continued growth in our com
merce with Canada is the most re-
markable when ii is remembered that
ever since April 1897 the United King
dom has enjoyed tariff advantages in
the Canadian market. the discrimina-
tion in her favor having ranged from
1919 per cent. in that year to 3315 per
cent from and after July /, 1900. Yet
the exports from the United States
to British North America have i'm
creased year by year, and our total
exports to that market in the nine
months under review are 81 ,235, 400,
or l6 per cent. i'm excess of those for
the same period of 1900, and S3, l04, $3.50,
or per cent. i'm excess of those of
the corresponding months of last year.
