WRECK AT WEsTBROOK.
Express on Shore Line Division Run,
 Into Freight Train.

ExpreSS on SnOre Line Division Runs
 Into Freight Train.
 Westbrook, June 27.-An eastbound express on the Shore Line division of the New York, New Haven and Hart ford railroad. due here at 2:5O this morning, crashed into an extra freight, head on. Both engines were damaged. The sleeping cars of the express were badly shaken and two freight cars were wrecked. None of the passengers or trainmen was injured, however.
 The freight train, which was vest bound, had been switched on to the East rock track and was waiting there to let the west bound express pass. For some reason signal to stop is said to have been disregarded by the eastbound express, and although the engineer slowed up as soon as he caught sight of the freight locomotive, he was unable to prevent a collision. After about an hours delay the express was able to proceed with another engine, but the wreck of the freight cars still blocked the east track at o'clock this morning.

4 Word for the West.

In the Colorado Republican, Bent Murdock, than whom no newspaper writer of today is better qualified to speak, has the following to say about the men of the East and the West:
 Eliminate Western brains and money from Wall street and New York would collapse in a day. Take from the business of New York the Western energy and enterprise that goes to make it a great city, and grass would grow in it's streets. Re- move from the literary field Western writers and it's newspapers and mag azines would be as stupid as last years almanac. Banish the Western preachers from the East and the en- tire Atlantic Coast would forget God in a year. Call off the Western pro- fessors from their colleges and their institutions of learning would be marked for decay. Stop the Western food supply and the East would starve. Take from the army the Western soldiers and it would be no more effective, in time of war, than Madam Jarley's wax works. Call out of the navy every Western man and half of Uncle Sam's old tubs would go to the bottom for lack of brains to keep them afloat. Remove from Washington the honesty, intelligence and patriotism of the West, and the government would lapse into imbe- cility - into innocuous desuetude. Take from the shops and factories

CultivatlHo the Desert.

James Russ, a news agent running between this city and Los Angeles, says the El Paso News, while in this city last night, said that when he left Los Angeles a few days ago, J. L. Rector, vice-president of the Coachella Valley Producers Associa- tion, was in the city looking for a small army of Japanese laborers to aid him in harvesting the melon crop of the association in the Inolo sec tion.
 Mr. Rector stated that he had nearly 200 Indians already at Goa chella ready to commence gathering melons and intended to try to get more of them. The company has over 600 acres in melons and expects to have 300 cars of cantaloupes alone The shipments will be at their height about June 8. They have already enough orders from the East to cover all this crop.
 "Where there was nothing but sand and sage brush year ago." said MT. Russ, "crops of alfalfa, melons, fruits and all kinds of garden truck are fourishing on the very edge of the great Yuma Desert, between Walters and Indio, California. The artesian wells and the crops can be seen from the Southern Pacific trains. MT. Rector says he secured 400 Japs in Los Angeles and will have at least 600 men at work next week gathering melons for shipment. Coachella is to be the principal shipping point for

the Indio Valley and sheds are now being built there. They are also putting up an ice house and may put up an ice factory.
 This valley will be one of the greatest producing regions of Califor- mia in a few years, and yet only few years ago it was thought to be worthless. But artesian water has been struck and now many wells are spouting throughout the district. Ar tesian water can be secured at a depth of from 100 to 25O feet and sur face water at depth of from eigh- teen to thirty-fve feet"
 It is said that the Southern Pacific has taken sides with the Indio Valley melon growers and will undertake to deliver the melons at Chicago and New York on passenger train time so that they can compete in prices with the melons from Rocky Ford, Colo. Supt. H. R. Ingraham has re- turned from Indio, where he promised the producers association that daily service of refrigerator cars, to run east on passenger train schedule, will be provided for the melons grown in the Coachella Valley.
 Another year, when the railroad is running regular trains into Imperial, this cantaloupe business will be just as lucrative in and around Imperial as it is this year around Indio.

Water Did 1t.

MT. George Adams is farming the old Burnett place on Tule River, a farm that has been cropped to grain for the better part of thirty years and until it was supposed to be wheated out. This year the rains held off so that MT. Adams did not SOW a seed of wheat until the 5th of March, when he clapped teams on and put in 450 acres in nine days. When it got up about four or five in- ches high he irrigated it and as it crusted over little, he put the water on again when the grain was up a foot or so, or near it, so that the crop got two irrigations. Result: The wheat stands breast high and good judges think that it will average ten sacks per acre over the whole field and some of it will yield good deal heavier than that. Pretty good for worn out land, eh? But the Tule River has brought down a phenome- nal lot of water this year, seemed like old times, and then Mr. Adams plowed deep and brought up new soil. Water and good blowing will do wonders.-Tulare Register.

Western brawn and brains and they would become the habitations of bats and owls. And yet the East is for ever reviling the West for everything coarse and common and unmannerly. The West can get along without the East, while the East could not exist a day without the West; and it is time for the only really God-fearing, Golden Rule-respecting, tlag-loving, patriotic people of the country to systematically snub the snobocratic imbecility of the East, upon every possible occasion - for it's brainless impudence - for it's puritanical Peck sniffianism - for it's insane jealousy of the West and everything Western - for it's impudence, insolent and persistent lying about Western peo- ple."

The first crate of melons from Goa chella Valley was shipped by the as- sociation Thursday night to Chicago. It is expected they will bring $7.5O for crate of forty-five melons.-Los Angeles Times.
 The first shipment of cantaloupes from Yuma this year was made by H. w. Blaisdell He shipped only one-third of a crate-15 melons-and he received for this shipment to San Francisco, $7.50, or 50 cents each, while the Indio shipment of one crate to Chicago brought $7,50 for the forty-five cantaloupes.

was talking with L. M. Holt, the Nestor of Southern California journal ism, yesterday, in Los Angeles about the transitory character of fame and how in this busy west people are forgotten so quickly, when MT. Holt said: Tt is hardly so in the slower East I was raised in Michigan. l went West and had been gone sixteen years. I went back to visit my old home. As l was going about, l met an old friend of my family. As I went up to him, he shook hands cor dially and said Let me see, Luther, have you been away from home? thought I hadn't seen you lately.

Home from Imperial.

The San Diego Tribune has this to say about the return of visitors to the Imperial Settlements
 County Surveyor Ward and Super visor Jasper have returned from an extended trip to the desert. They tell some interesting stories of grain prospects in the New River country. MT. Ward has located two roads from Imperial, through the Blue Lake sec tion, to connect with the roads on this side. The roads will be built very soon.
 A bridge is to be constructed across the New River. MT. Jasper says that they experienced no especially dis comfort on account of the weather, although at times the thermometer registered 100 degrees. MT. Jasper says that he takes no stock in the government reports concerning the in- ferior quality of the soil arguing that the country furnishes many instances which fatly contradict the govern ment's statements.
 A school is to be started at Imperial right away, with Mir. DeBurn as teacher. In order to get the appro- priation the school must be in oper- ation a month. Twelve miles of the new railroad to be built by the Southern Pacific has been graded. Trains will be running by the first of September.
