Crops at lmperial.

The Riverside Independent inter- views an Imperialist with the follow ing result:
 Felix c. Ravens, who gave up the hard job of hunting scale bugs in Riverside orchards to go to Imperial, there to become an honest and in dependent farmer and work for him. self, spent couple of days of the past week in the city visiting his family. MT. Ravens is enthusiastic over the outlook for Imperial. He says that the half has not been told of the possibilities of the colony
 Imperial is growing and so are great big crops of grain and sorghum and he says that another season will see double the present amount of land under cultivation. There is no limit to the water supply and the land com bined with water raises the biggest crops out of doors.
 MT. Havens reports that the barley crop is now ready for the harvest and when this is completed Imperial will have many thousands of tons of hay for sale. Mr. Havens has something like 300 acres under cultivation and his crops, like those of all his neigh bors, cannot be beaten in the State.
 When asked about the weather down there Mr. Ravens smole a large smile and said that the people managed to get along very nicely without over coats, yet he did not find it at all 
 MT. Ravens when here was on his way back to Imperial from Los An geles, where he went to prove up on his land.

Feeding Chickens by Alarm Clock.

Portland Oregonian: Walter Ber- nard some months ago secured small tract of land on Chambers Prairie, few miles east of Olym- pia, and stocked the place with a few dozen chickens. As he is com pelled to be away from home during the day, he studied out a scheme for caring for his chickens during his absence. In each yard he has erected troughs to hold food for the hens and these troughs are connected by wire with his house. Within the house MT. Bernard has connected the wire with an alarm clock, with the usual battery attachment. When he leaves home in the morning he sets the alarm clock at the hour for feed ing the chickens and by an ingenious when the proper time the alarm goes off, the con- meeting wire releases the troughs and the chickens make a rush for their feed, winch is spread before them as if MT. Bernard did the job in person.

which is not yet to be. Here are none but glad hands and honeyed words, but 1 am sorry to say that there will be, soon or later, dreadful next morn ing'-perhaps many of them before the thousand years of prophetic peace fall on the right-of-way of your California railways.
 You have told us what you have done to straighten out the Southern Pacific, road which the press has long accused of being crooked. You have cut off 130 miles of track and thrown it away by making straight lines where there were curves before but you must not think that those 130 miles were without use or purpose in their day and generation. The great men who built those 13O miles-and the rest of the road-sent in their bill, mile for mile, to the government of the United States. Uncle Sam was paying for railroad tracks, so much per mile, and he was not on to the curves or the railroad builders. A curve was as good as a straight line to a generous government, and Uncle Sam got few curves, for the curve is the line of beauty and straight line might have been monotonous.
 "This is great State, MT. l1arri man, and a great city. We are great men, seated at a great banquet, listen ing to great speeches, planning great things for the mutual benefit of great railroad and great commercial com fact greatness is in the air and we cannot escape it."

The Blue lake Town.

San Diego people are becoming in terested in the New River, or what is known as the Imperial country. Re gently the lands around Blue Lake were consolidated into the Blue Lake Town Company and the townsite of Silsbee has been laid out on it's east ern borders. Flats of the new town are to be seen at the office of Dod- son & Fisher, who are offering these lots for sale. Both the San Diego and Eastern Railway and Gulf Railway are sure to connect at this point. and a good town is certain to be built MT. Dodson has given this country much attention for the past two years. He feels confident in this en- terprise and wants San Diego people to push it, as the success and growth of this section means much to San Diego-San Diego Tribune.

The Egg CrOp.

Every year from two to three mil lion dollars are sent out from Califor- mia to Eastern markets for eggs and poultry. This enormous sum should stay at home. If you were told that one years product of the hen would buy the entire wheat and cotton crop of America you would probably doubt the statement but nevertheless it is an incontrovertible fact. The total pro- duct of poultry-that is, eggs &nd fowls sold on the market every year has been shown by careful and thorough investigation to be about S290, 900 0,000.-MOdesto News.

Hartman Starts the Wheels.

The Fl Paso, Texas, Herald, thus
 refers to railroad operations in the
 great Southwest:
 When the San Diego people appealed
 to MT. Hartman to come to their
 rescue they did the right thing. For
 years the town of San Diego has at tempted to get another road built to that town that would not be controlled by the Santa Fe. Securing a right of
 way from Yuma to their place they then set about getting an Eastern outlet across Arizona and New Mex ico Frank Murphy, acting for the Santa Fe, chartered road from Ben son via Phoenix to Yuma and just as he was to arrange with the San Diego & Eastern road and gain control of the situation for the Santa Fe, the San Diego people "got next and sent for MT. Hartman.
 A hurried trip on his part to San Diego was enough to show him that s. P. people would make mis- take by allowing the Santa Fe people to get control of the San Diego & Eastern, and he quietly set the wheels 
 coveted prize himself. * When MT. Hartman was here he said his trip was merely trip of inspection and that he was out to take note of the general condition of the Southern Pacific system. It now seems that he evidently saw need of several improve ments which will be begun at once. From Los Angeles comes the report that the lines west of El Paso are to be greatly improved, and at once. At several points along the road gangs of wOrkmen are replacing the old rails with new eighty-fve pound steel, the road bed is being reballasted and when completed is sprinkled with oil to lay the dust. The line of better ments contemplates a great deal of re- building and straightening of tracks to avoid curves in certain places. These changes are necessary in order to accommodate the increased traffic which is looked for next fall. The Rock Island will put on through trains to Los Angeles from Chicago and the passenger traffic on the s. P. will be augmented by through daily service.

A Two Million Dollar Reservoir.

The Phoenix Republican publishes full report regarding the Tonto Basin reservoir, and then summarizes the report in the following manner:
 ''Mr. Arthur P. Davis of the geologi- cal survey who directed the scientific investigation of the Tonto Basin reser- voir site last year, arrived in town yesterday and submitted his report to the members of the water storage commission. The report included the plans and specifications of a dam at that site, the estimated cost of con- struction and elaborate details of the proposed construction. The report was very long one. It was read to the board by MT. Davis, who further ex- plained it by means of the various maps and drawings. The estimated cost of the dam is less than $2,000, ,000, including the power house. This is considerably less than any one had supposed it would be, but MT. Davis has ascertained that there was mate rial at the site for the manufacture of a cement equal to the best Portland cement made in the United States.
 
 the chief items of expense.
 MT. Davis report removes the silt bugbear He shows that an average yearly deposit of silt would take 800 years to fill the reservoir, and estimat- ing the deposit by that of last season, the reservoir would be filled in 150O years.
 'The drawings show a structure with thickness at the base of 164 feet. It is sixteen feet at the top. The water level when the storage capacity is filled is 190 feet from the bottom Above that height the water is dis charged through spillways cut through the solid rock on each side. It is es- timated that the flood of 1891 would have filled the dam to a height of 21O feet. There is still left a margin of seven feet for the water to climb be- fore it could flow over the top of the dam, a thing that it is intended it shall not do. The sheer side of the dam faces the flood and arches up stream. At each end there is a gate house with machinery for opening the gates at the bottom. The height of the structure from bedrock is PAY feet.
 Tt should have been mentioned in connection with the estimated cost that the figures include the building of bridge across the top of the dam, for it's construction would put the present Globe-Payson road many feet under water, so that there would be no place in miles where the river and the canyon could be crossed
 After the submission of the re- port the commission adopted a resolu- tion thanking the geological survey for the assistance it had given the county in this investigation and espe- cially thanking MT. Davis for what he had done. Secretary Fulwiler re- minded the board that Mr. Davis had done much more than he had under taken to do, and asked him to make out bill for his extra services. MT. l Davis replied that there would be no bill. You owe me nothing said he, 1 and if you did, that resolution just | adopted would discharge the debt.'"
