Sent out of Town

Since Imperial was founded there have been several wagons taken through town carrying stocks of liquor. One of these stopped at Flowingweli few days since long enough for the sale of considerable liquor. after which the driver brought his outfit to Imperial. reaching here Monday. Before he had time to do any business he received a call from Messrs. F. C. Paulin. Fl. C. Oakley and Dr. J. W. Oakley. who informed him that if he undertook to sell liquor in Imperial he would at once find himself in trouble. The man wanted to argue the case, but the callers would not have 1t that way. No liquor was sold here, and early next morning the man moved on to other sections. There are men who make a business of peddliug liquor through the sparsely settled portions of the country in defiance of law who need attention. But what ever they are permitted to do in other sections, the sale of liquor will not he tolerated in any way in Imperial. either by the land company or by the people. and the wider that fact is um-

More Brick kilns .

When the first brick kiln was burned by Harbour & Carter some weeks since it was understood that 1t was but a test. The kiln included 6O.OOO bricks, enough to start work on the brick buildings. Now that work has been begun on one of the buildings aud several others are in sight for inmed- fate construction, work is being crowded ahead ou the second kiln, which will contain about loo, ,0O0bricks, and as soon as that is completed work will be begun on third kiln. It is believed that fully half million brick will be laid in Imperial before the close of summer.

Work co lateraIs

Work having been completed or Dahiia lateral, a half mile west Of town, water has been turned iu for steady use. to the satisfaction of many land owners.
 Carpenters and puddlers are now at work on Eucalyptus and Elder later als, and but a few days remain before all the country from Imperial west to New river will have its irrigation sys- tenn completed.
 To the east of Imperial the system Is receiving finishing touches as rap idly as possible. though letting water through some of the laterals to ac- commodate farmers has had tendency to postpone work in places.
 On the Eastside lumbe has arrived for the l7-foot drop, which will be com pleted m a short time.
 The work OH the system now is of a character which does not show much. being principally the digging of in- numerable little ditches to carry water to the individual farms, but it is lhe character of work which pleases most. for it brings to the individual farmer assurance of all the water he cares to use.
