Crunpacker Resolution
Fails to Rally Enough
Votes.
THE FIGHT TO Be ABANDONED
An Active Canvass Made to Bring About
Results Convinces Father of Bill That
1t Is Not Wanted-Senator PritchaTd
. Wins Out in Stubborn Fight.

! Despite the fact that the Committee on
Rules some time ago agreed to report the
| Crumpacker resolutions, calling for the
appointment of a committee to investi-
gate suffrage conditions, and particularly
directed toward the Southern States, the
indications now are that the matter will
be entirely abandoned. and that it viii
not be brought to the attention Of the
House.
In fact. this decision has practically
! been reached by the leaders of the House
/ For the past week a sort OF self-consti-
tuted committee, consisting of Messrs.
Crumpacker, Dick, and Tawney, has been
carrying on an active canvass among the
Republican members OF the House. with
the view of ascertaining whether or not
they would be able to secure sufficient
votes to guarantee the passage of the res
olutions.
Failure Conceded.
They now reluctantly cchcede their fail
ure, and the statement was definitely
made yesterday by one of the recognized
leaders that the Crumpacker resolutions
would never be reported to the House.
They are said to be dead for all practical
purposes, and the probabilities are that
little If anything more will be heard of
the proposition to enquire into suffrage
conditions, at this session OF Congress at
least.
Il is a welI-known fact that Senator
Prftchard of North Carolina, the only
Republican Senator from the South, has
been very active during the past TWO
weeks in his effort to kill the Crumpacker
resolutions. He has been working dill
gently with the Republican members VI
the House, and, according to the indica-
tions at present, has been eminently sue
cessful ,.. Is-.
Senator Pritchard realizes that should
the Crumpacker resolutions be passed by
the House that it would effectively kill
any possible chance which the Repubii-
cans of North Carolina may have for sue
cess il the elections this fall. The DEM
ocrats would at once make ii an issue in
that State, as well as other Southern
States, and would place the Republicans
at disadvantage which they could not
hope by any means to overcome.
Move a Doubtful One.
When the Committee on Rules voted
To report the resolutions there were then
grave doubts in the minds of the leaders,
not only as 10 thc au'ioaDiii's Va 'i'S
step, but as to the ability OF the Repub-
lcans to pass them, owing TO strong op-
position in The party Accordingly.
Messrs. Crumpacker, Tawncy, and Dick
were sent out scouting to see If they
could obtain sufficient pledges from MEM
bers to guarantee the adoption OF the
resolutions. They have returned after
nearly two weeks. with an unfavorable
report.
1t is said that this means was taken
by such of the House leaders as opposed
the Crumpacker proposition to xiii the
resolution without bringing 1t into the
House where IL would certainly have
caused trouble. They now believe that
nothing more will be heard OF the mat
ter, and that it viii soon be forgotten.
and the Democrats thus deprived of cam
paign material.

 George A. Carter & Co.,, who have bought the lumber yard of the lmpe- rial Mercantile company, have entered into d contract to supply all the lum- Der required by the California Devel- opment company, and will establish their main yard on Eighth street in Imperial, hauling it from Flowingwell to the yard, and from that point dis tributing it over the valley as needed, while from the same yard lumber will be sold to the general public.
 That will give to Imperial an i'm portant branch of industry which it has not had heretofore, and one which will undoubtedly be of considerable importance during the next few years when the valley is experincing its most rapid development.

JOKE ON s. P. OFFICIALS

C. N. Perry played a cruel joke oil the officials of the Southern Pacific railroad when they were in the valley last week. The railroad through the valley, as is we'll known. has been di- vided between the several school dis tricts on the mountains of the county, the school houses being from fifty to more than d hundred miles from the portions of railroad respectively taxed for their support. Being compelled to build school houses for d country not tributary to the railroad has been one of the things that has greatly bothered the railroad officials. and at last they have reached the point where they have refused to pay special taxes for these schools. and the matter has been taken into the courts.
 While acting as one of the escorts for the trio of officials driving through the valley, Mir. Perry alluded to the fact that they would soon get to the SCnoOl mousse. l ms was SuIIlClent 10 rouse the officials.
 "The school house," said one of them, "and of course the Southern Pacific paid for it."
 Mir. Perry admitted that the school house had been paid for by the rail road, and insisted that it was perfectly right and proper that the road should pay for school houses. This led to d red hot discussion, which lasted for some time, Mir. Perry offering to take them through the building and show them how artistically schools were built and how successfully maintained with railroad money. To this the of ficials assented, while still protesting that it is rank injustice to make the road pay for the school houses.
 While the discussion was at its height the driver pulled up to the school house, made of a series of mes quite posts thatched with arrow weed, where from forty to fifty bright chil- lesson.
 Twill you take stroll through the building with mc?" asked MT. Perry. The railroad men were amazed. They had never seen just that kind f school house, and it is whispered about that they have declared they will never protest against the road being assessed for school houses in the Imperial valley. even though they be built of pressed brick and granite and adorned with statuary.

NOW FOR ROADS AND BRIDGES

and latcrals in the valley, and while considerable is being done, it is ncces- sorry that much more be done in the near future.
 There is only one way in which the county supervisors can take action in the creation of roads, and that is on petition of the owners of property, who are expected to give the county easements for the roads across their property.
 At the present time petitions and easements are in the hands of II. C. Oakley, A. w. Patton, T. P. Banta and C. N. Perry, asking for certain roads, and other blanks will be furn- ished by the county clerk to any prop erty owner who applies for them.
 Mcssrs. Oakley and Perry are work ing in union for the opening of Inn periai avenue from Calexico northward through Paringa and Imperial to the railroad, and arc meeting with much success in their canvass of land own CTS for easements. From Imperial through Paringa, thence turning to the southward into Calexico, making the principal north and south thor oughfare of the valley direct route between the towns.
 Messrs. Oakley and Patton are work ing on n road of scarcely less import ancc, which will be the main street from the east to the west. This is Eighth street, which will be contin- ued across the valley in either dircc- ton, on the east eventually crossing Carter river to the East side tract, now being brought under irrigation. On the west this road will lead to New river, and eventually across the tract yet to be developed west of New river.
 A mile and half west of Imperial another road is to be opened, follow tug up the main canal to the the south toa point east of Blue lake, from which point another road will be opened, leading from Blue lake to Calexico, passing the farm of T. P. Banta, and from Mir. Banta's place another road will lead to the north ward to junction with Imperial av- enuc.
 The roads thus outlined are the ones on which work is now in progress, and they are the most important ones, for they are in line with present extensive travelling, opening ways from Blue lake, Calexico, the east aud the west into Imperial and thence northward to the railroad. They will tend to the development of the valley and to the standardization of business in l,npe- rial, as well as to more firmly estab- fish the importance of Imperial av- enue and Eighth street in town.
 Money Is available in the county treasury for building bridges on these roads so soon as they are accepted by the supervisors as roads, but until they arc accepted the county can do nothing aud travel across the valley must be seriously impeded for lack of bridges.
 Supervisor Jasper was in the valley for some days last week and this and has conferred with interested parties regarding roads, lending much assist ancc in advice and otherwise.
