Judge M. A. Luce.

Among the candidates for Congress sional honors from this district the name of Judge M. A. Luce is being pushed very prominently to the front by his friends.
 The writer has been acquainted with Judge Luce for nearly a half century, having been college-mates and room-mates at Hillsdale College, Michigan, before the late Civil War This acquaintance was renewed in later years here on the Pacific Coast During all these years the Judge as student, as a soldier, as an attOr- ney, as a judge, as postmaster of San Diego, and as a citizen and a Repub- lican has stood above criticism. His friends are legion and if he is not sent to Congress it will be because the people of the district do not know the man as intimately as he is known at home. The Republicans of this district will make no mistake in nom- mating Judge M. A. Luce for Con- gross and the voters of this district will make no mistake in electing him as they certainly will if they get a chance to vote for him.

regard for those moralitiess sand pro- prieties of civic life than tend to dig nifty and ennoble the characters of a people and are an attraction for that home making and home-loving popu- ulation which can and will make Cali fornia that model commonwealth which it should be our ambition to have her become. 1 am no champion of Puritanism, but 1 love that broad, healthful, hopeful Ameri- canism that is, I believe, to be found flourishing more vigorously than any where else throughout the great corn States of the Middle West.
 These things ought we then, chiefly to do to make ready for that immigration that will surely come when we have made ready for it, and as we are making ready for it, and as it comes it will help us to go on making ready for a continuance of it's coming.

A Vest Pocket Saloon.

The Redlands Citrograph is respons- ible for the following:
 A horrible story recently made its bow to the public in the columns of the New York Sun. It is calculated to give a prohibitionist the shaking shivers. The Sun said that one Charles Obendaugh, of Binghampton, New York, has perfected a process by which whisky can be made and con- centrated into pill which can be carried in the vest pocket! A jag at hand all the time and no saloon needed.
 Now what will become of Redlands, Pasadena, Imperial, Riverside and a lot of other places where saloons are not allowed to exist? This world is certainly moving very rapidly. The velocity fairly takes away our breath.

The Presbyterian Church has de- clared against the doctrine of infant damnation. It seems strange that any religious organization in this enlight- ened age of the world should deem it necessary to officially state that it does not endorse such heathenish idea. It will be next in order for some church to declare that it is in favor of it's own members going to Heaven.

The Sentinel man has been disturbed somewhat because the new town on Blue Lake was named Silsbee instead of adopting the appropriate name of Blue Lake, but Supervisor Jasper ex- plains the matter by the statement that the postoffice authorities refuse to es- tablish new postoffices with names containing more than a single word. Ramona Sentinel.
 Another reason is still more solid. There is already one postoffice in the State by the name of Blue Lake and there cannot be another one.

Controversy Settled.

OUuUUVO1o oy OOtIuOu.
 For several months past there has been a controversy between the Cali fornia Development Company and the Sunset Commercial Company over a construction of the terms of con- tract between these corporations.
 Something over year ago the Sun- set Commercial Company of which corporation John A. Merrill was president and C.. w. Boutwell, was manager, contracted with the Califor- nia Development Company for the exclusive agency for the sale of the water stock of Imperial Water Com pany No. 5, for the irrigation of what is now known as Eastside.
 Mr. Merrill afterwards retired from the company leaving MT. Boutwell, as president and manager.
 Under the work of this company about 16,OOO shares of stock were sold to settlers who located land in Eastside.
 A difference of opinion arose as to the construction to be put on cer- tain clauses of the contract under which the Sunset Commercial Com pany was operating and this differ ence of opinion eventually eliminated in a deadlock, so that all sales of stock for that section ceased.
 In the progress of the contention several suits were brought to enforce claims, one of which was an injunc- tion suit brought by Frank Both well, brother to G. w. Boutwell,, who had filed a homestead on the quarter section on which the head gates of the main canal of Imperial Water Company No. was located. In this suit the court was asked to make the injunction perpetual and to assess damages to the extent of $2000. The case had a preliminary hearing in San Diego, when the judge dissolved the injunction anu left the matter of damages for future con- sideration.
 A few days since an amicable agree ment was arranged between the two corporations wherein all suits were to be dismissed and all questions at issue were amicably arranged so that peace is again restored and the work of development will proceed again just as though no friction had arisen
 The Sunset Commercial Company surrendered it's contract and the work of colonizing the Eastside country will now be in the hands of the I'm perial Land Company.
 This controversy never affected the rights of settlers only to delay work that should have been pushed vigor- ously. However, all matters are now settled, and Harmony is now the word, spelled with capital H.

Shipping In Cattle.

enough moisture on his uplands to save his crops? And were his pray CTS always answered?
 This is brief sketch of the work done east of the Missouri River. Now, how about it in California?-say Southern California-for we desire tc speak intelligently?
 Thirty years ago this Southern country only had, in round numbers, a population of 3O,OOO. Today there are 100000 in this same territory. The wealth has increased more rapidly than has the population. Then the average man was poor; to- day the average man is well-to-do, and many of them are wealthy.
 What does it cost him to make a ranch? That depends on circum- stances, but as a rule it costs much less than it is worth after it is made. East of the Missouri River it has cost many times more than it was worth after it was made.
 How long does it take him to make a ranch? From one to five years. East of the Missouri River it usually cost a lifetime of hard work; and then the farm was not worth what it cost to clear and subdue the land by a very large majority.
 What about the crops here? There is rarely failure. They are insured by our irrigation systems-for irri- gation is cheaper than rain.
 How do our people live while i'm proving the land? As a rule they live in comfort with all the necessities of life and generally many of the luxuries.
 Do we have to coax trees to grow here-as suggested by Brother Pins bury? Not at all. The trees grow here in spite of all opposition ant poor care, and they will grow as much here in one year as they will grow in River" We call to mind eucalyptus tree at Pomona that grew ninety feet in height and fifty-four inches in cir conference one foot above the ground in six years. Can such a growth be found east of the Missouri River in thirty years time? Possibly, but we never saw such a growth illustrated there.
 But Pilsbury says that there they fought against native fecundity, while here we must fight an aridity that makes profitable production pug zling problem. On again; off again. There are fewer crop failures here than in the east. Of course farmers there must work in accordance with their local conditions; and ranchers here must also work in accordance with our local conditions. It is as easy here to follow our local con- ditions as it is for the people east of the Missouri River to follow their conditions. And then compare the results.
 But Pillsbury further along in that portion of his paper not quoted herein says there is alkali in the San Joa- quin Valley, and that by means of as to ruin the land. That is unfor- tunate. That portion of the land that thus deyelOps alkali should be
Imperial press and farmer., 1902-06-07

require drainage on account or the alkali that comes to the surface. That peculiar condition does not exist to any appreciable extent in Southern California south of the Tehachapi. All authorities agree that alkali land can be successfully reclaimed by drainage where the alkali comes to the surface because of irrigation.
 The facts are that our people in this country are trying to do in five years what it took fifty years to ac- complish east of the Missouri River and if we happen to strike snag, so that it requires six years to do what we were expecting to do in five years, we immediately become dis heartened and throw up our hands and cry out, "Men and bretheren, what shall we do to be saved?"
 We have known Brother Pillsbury for many years. We have worked with him shoulder to shoulder in the irrigation cause, when the tide was setting in against us with great force. We knew him to be a broad minded man with lots of nerve and we are little surprised at that paper of his read before the San Joaquin Valley Commercial Association. It appears to be a fact, however, that Pillsbury located accidently in the wrong place, and then had too much pride to move. He couldn't, for some reason or other, develop his country in a way to keep up with the South ern California procession, and he has got discouraged. Or, possibly he wanted to give his people a great big scare, so as to set them to work more vigorously. Possibly he has overdone the scare business. There is nothing to be scared about in the San Joaquin Valley. The people there have the soil and the climate and all the natural facilities for planting millions of people successfully be- tween Tehachapi Pass and Suisun Bay. All they want to do is to act intelligently and not lose their nerve.
 Brother Pillsbury, brace up.
 However, we can overlook the statements made in the extract quoted above, as Brother Pillsbury winds up his paper with the following sound advice which is applicable to the San Joaquin Valley, and much of which is applicable to Southern Cali fornia. In answer to the question What ought we to do to make ready for irrigation?" he says:
 1. Let us cease that form of huS- bandry that takes the equivalent of $500 worth of commercial fertilizers off a quarter section of land in order to produce crop that will not sell for more than a thousand dollars and will scarcely repay the cost of labor of producing it.
 2. Let us learn to accompany sur face irrigation with under drainage to the end that we may not outlive the productivity of our farms in a valley that must support unborn gen erations to the end of time.
 8. Let us make the public school system of California the nursery of her agriculture and industry to the end that it may be as intelligent as intensive, and as profitable in the main as it now is in exceptional and extraordinary instances which the diligence of my brethren of the press is able to bring here and there to light. Let us become prosperous

The people of Salt River Valley, Ari- zona, are engaged in very laudable enterprise in getting authority from Congress for Mariposa County to issue it's bonds for the purpose of construct ing a large reservoir so as to store water to enlarge the area of irrigated land in that valley, and thus double and probably quadruple the wealth of that fine body of land of which Phoe- nix is the commercial center. The plans are well laid, the move is a laudable one, the investment if made will be gilt-edge, and we trust that this enterprise, championed so ably by the Republican, will succeed.

is open to all with no restrictions as

Efforts to solve the problemiof aerial
navigation have met with lar more
success in France than in any other
place and the present outlook is that
Frenchmen will carry off nearly all
the honors in the competition at st.

by the French is largely due to the
fact that there has existed in Paris
