gresham Flynn stated that the Ok
lahoma election, no matter who may
now be declared delegate-elect to
congress from the territory, will
thwart the passage Of any kind of a

Teachers federation at special
meeting voted to affiliate with the
Federation of Labor. One of the
reasons assigned for the taking of

better wages and an improvement in
the conditions surrounding the school

prospects for rice and cotton, and with cane as a possibility.
 But there are many other cultures growing OH the farm, one of the most promising being melons. There is a great variety including the popular Rocky Ford and older American vari- cities of musk and water melons, as well as several varieties of Chinese, Persian and Arabian winter melons, Without exception, these are doing finely, and it is evident that the farm- CTS who are planning oil planting sew erai hundred acres next spring are not likely to be disappointed in results.
 Sweet potatoes are making a fine showing, and Irish potatoes are doing fairly well, indicating that the former may be raised for shipment, while the latter will probably be produced to meet home demands.
 Artichokes are making splendid growth, and as these are valuable for hog feed, they may be quite extensive iy grown.
 Blackberry vines are thriving, and i, is believed the valley will be able to produce large amount of small fruits for the early markets, realizing good prices. At other places in the valley similar results are being achieved with grapes.
 Early vegetables may be grown in abundance, for many varieties are showing their adaptab bility to the soil and climate.

 F. F. Hall left the valley to make his future home in Riverside, going out horseback via San Diego. Mir. Hall has been connected with the survey corps of the California Development Conl- pany from the beginning, and his ab- sence from the valley will be regretted by many settlers.
 Chief Engineer c. K. Rockwood re- turned from Washington a few days since and IS now in Los Angeles. He reports the prospects for an early strengthening out of the survey as en- couraging.
 D. l.. Russel, of the survey corps is taking a vacation with his family in Los Angeles, and James Stuart. super intendent of the carpenter work, has left for visit to his home in the state of Wa ashington.
 Mrs. J. w. Wright, mother of Mrs. J. K. Ravens, has returned to her nome in Texas after visit of two months in the valley.

Overflow ReCedinu

F. T. Atkins, one of the cattle men from the overflow country in Mexico, was seen in Calexico Sunday, on his way to Sonora after cattle. He re- ported that the overflow water this year lacked three feet of reaching the height of last years flood, and that it was receding when he left home. Water was flowing in New River at Calexico Sunday.
 It is expected that the small terri tory overf1owcd will tend to keep the area of pastura gre down, but that there will be larger portion of the first mesquit bean crop availa ble for cat tie feed, the beans now approaching ripeness.

Postal Changes

Contractor Foster has provided a Concord four-horsed stage for his mail route between the Southern Pacific trains and Imperial, his contract for carrying the mail having become op- erative oil July 1. Mail will hereafter be brought in on Tuesdays. Thursdays and Saturdays and sent out on Mon- days, Wednesdays and Fridays, this being a reversal of the previous ar engagement. It is expected that this line and George McCaulley's line will run on alternate days, thus giving Imperial daily connection with the trains, though there will not be daily mail until the railroad is completed this fall.

Another Dike Needed

The California Development Com pany has decided to put another dike across Carter river at d point half mile south of east of Imperial, to raise water for tract of land, including the farms of Messrs. Mo Kim and Hart. This will not be done until fall, but it is expected to have it in time for a winter crop. It was expected to take water to this land through Deodar lat eral, but tile change is made as an inn provement over the earlier plan.

ImperiaI'S Fourth

For the second time the Fourth has been celebrated by actual settlers in the Imperial valley. Last year the only assemblage of citizens was at the Carter river heading. This year it was at Blue Lake under the auspices of the Mexifornia Gun Club. It was not d boisterous celebration but a plea sant one. In town there was little attempt to raise the usual racket of the Fourth.

San Diego and Eastern

President Marston and Secretary Boone of the San Diego and Eastern railroad returned to San Diego this week from New York, where they have been making an effort to finance the road. With what success their efforts were met is not known.
 The second survey for the road, rum ming through Mexican territory, has been completed, and it is stated that this route has been found satisfactory.
 Chef Engineer Richards and Con- sulting Engineer Hawgood have conn pleied trip over the first survey from San Diego to Yuma.
 While the movements connected with the road are kept quiet, those familiar with operations continue to express confidence in the building of the road at an early date.

EaStSide Gate

Since the completion of the large drop in the Eastside canal about 4000 inches of water has been allowed 10 waste into Carter river and thence into Mesquit lake. It is thought this flow will about offset the evaporation from the lake and that it will not rise to d point permitting the water to escape into the lower channel of Carter river.

First Ducks Killed

It is reported, very vaguely, for they are out of season, that two wild ducks have been killed III the last few da ys.
 By the last of this month or early in August there will proba blv be tens of thousands of them in the valley, and the national guard will have to be called out if they are to be protected up to the opening of the season, Octo- Der l. Every where through the state the duck law is held as all outrage on the rights of the farmers, and the en- forcement of it in this "neck of the woods" will probably be too great a ta six to be even undertaken.

Summer Crops

Every team available is still busy getting in the summer crops, sorghum being most extensively sown now. Geo. c. Hunt has let contracts for put ting in $50 acres east of Calexico and D. G. Whiting has finished sowing about a half section on Date lateral. Many farmers are putting in smaller tracts, the total acreage of sorghum in the valley now running high into the hundreds of acres.
