Kaiser Never Crowned.

Probably few people out Of England
regard win more interest the pro-
ceedings in regard 10 the kings coro-
nation than his imperial nephew at
Berlin, and all the more so that, as
emperor, he is still uncrOwned. as were
his father and grandfather before him.
The reason why is something OF a
mystery. states the Paris Messenger.
but the explanation most generally ac-
cepted Is that the original imperial
crown Of the emperor Of Germany is
in the hands Of Austria, and that she
shows no disposition To allow il TO
leave Vienna BOurrienne records that
Napoleon said on one occasion: "I
nave not succeeded Louis XVI. bur
Charlemagne," and adds. that in 1904.
shortly before he was crowned, he had
the imperial insignia of that monarch
Drought from the old Frankish capital
and exhibited in Paris with those made
Ior his own coronation. But Mr. Bryce,
IN his Holy Roman Empire" writes
tnat II this is not trick OF Napoleon
Bourrienne was in error. as the regalia
OF Charlemagne had been removed
from Aix-la.Chapelle by Austria in
179S
1he coronation OF German emperor
would be an event Of such prudigious
historic interest as to throw all other
coronations into the shade Perhaps

SET THINGS BOOMING

The last weekly report of the De- partment of Agriculture issued by George E. Franklin, local forecast of ficial at Los Angeles, tells of great improvement in crops, making so, in- teresting showing that it is given in full:
 General, we'll distributed and copious rains during the past week have changed the conditions of farming affairs materially. The tone of this weeks reports indicates very hope full feeling, and with timely rains the remainder of the season, there is every reason to expect good to full crops of farm products.
 The rains were heavy in the north ern and mountain sections and more moderate in the southern, but in the latter were sufficient for present pur- poses.
 The rains fell steadily and were

RAILROAD SEEMS A CERTAINTY

So far as newspaper reports are con as yet the inside facts, so far as ob tainable, are not ready for publications, and the general public must take on faith, to great degree, the statement that there is an almost certainty that surveyors will be at work on the line from the Southern Pacific to Calexico within a week or two, and that graders will be set to work within about thirty days, with a prospect that the road will be completed before the heat of summer sets in.
 There is no doubt that before the end of March there will be a definite announcement of the policy to be fol- lowed and the order in which the work is to be done.
 Any amount of room exists for speculation regarding the railroad combinations which are being formed and which may have their bearing on Imperial. One of these rumors is to the effect that Senator Clark of the Salt Lake road is in alliance with George Gould, and that the latter is the power behind the Rock Island road, now reaching out from Fl Paso toward the coast, as we'll as behind the Burl ington, which is expected to connect with Senator Clark's road at Salt Lake. These rumors would bear out the belief that tine Gould system of roads is to have route to offset the Central Pacific as well as the Southern Pacific, and if Senator Clark is work ing with Gould on the Salt Lake route, it might be imagined that he would also work with him on the Fl Paso route. This might lead to road from Imperial to Los Angeles, or might have some relationship to the San Diego-Eastern project. All this is simply speculation, and the outsiders can simply bide their time until the plans of the magnates are gradually unfolded.

SAN DItGO-EASTERN

It now appears that the engineers at work on the survey for the San Diego Eastern railroad are not coming down Carriso creek to the desert, but are planning a tunnel to give exit from the canyon to point some miles to the south. Should this line be followed it will throw the point of exit from the mountains several miles south of west of Imperial, making it less probable that the road will pass through the town, unless the promoters of the road should consider it worth their while to defect from their course for the sake of taking in the heart of the Imperial country. The San Diego Union says:
 1.-TWO of the members of the San Diego-Eastern railroad committee re- turned to San Diego last evening from d trip over the line of the survey as far as Dos Cabesas. They return more than satisfied with the trip, despite the fact that great deal of it was made under trying circumstances, there being much rain and high winds to contend with. The particular cause of their pleasure is to be found i'll the fact that they are able to report that Engineer Richards will be able to give them a located line of road from here to Yuma. on which the maximum gra- dient will be 75 feet to the mile.
 'That is an announcement that IS much better than any before made, for the former statements have been that the gradient unit would be only 75 feet to the mile. That might have meant that in one or two places the gradient would be over 75 per cent where for a short distance a uusher engine or a helper engine would be used. It IS now announced that the maximum grade will be 75 feet to the mile, and that nowhere on the line of the road over the mountains will pusher ell zine be required.
 Ut has been thought that the hard

Imperial press and farmer., 1902-03-15

work of the engineer was to be to get down off the mountains on the other side of the divide onto the desert, but it is now stated that nothing will be found harder at that end of the line than has been found between here and Jacumba. Many railroad men and some engineers have said that it would be impossible to get line down froul the mountains onto the desert, but Engineer Richards is preparing to show them a profile before many weeks which will not only indicate the falsity of their position, but will show that the line of the San Diego-Eastern road will be blessed with lighter grades and shorter distances than any other possible line to the Pacific ocean.
 "George w. Marston and Judge Boone, the two members of the com mittee who returned to the city showed last evening when they arrived that they had been on trip, and that the trip had been hard one. The latter part of the trip was possibly little harder than the rest, for they had driven from camp at Dos Cabesas ill two days.
 "'We had a trip that we will not forget said Judge Boone in converse. tion last night with some of the other members of the committee.
 "Mr. Boone stopped in the descrip- tion of the trip and of the night in camp to draw rough sketch of the country from Jacumba, and to point out the way in which MT. Richards has found an easy route to the desert without an excessive grade anywhere, and even shorter than the route by Carriso creek which it was expected to take and which would have been longer and harder than the one which has been found.
 "The Carriso creek has its source in the mountains not far from the Ja- cumba valley, and when running flows in a northerly direction for a dozen miles or more until it turns eastward through what is best known as the Carriso creek canyon to the desert. The line of the survey leaves Jacumba valley along the line of the creek fol- lowing it for six or eight miles and then turns 10 the right where a tunnel of 2,3OO or 400 feet will let the road through the east wall of the canyon into the head of the wash in which Dos Cabesas is located. This wash is practically all arm of the desert reach ing some score or more of miles up into the side of the mountains and it furnishes good grade all the way down to the level of the desert proper.
 "Thus it is that the line does not go as far north by five or six miles as it would to get into Carriso creek canyon proper and it will get down onto the desert by much easier and more gradual grade than it could through that canyon. It is those reasons which caused the smiles OH the faces of the committeeman despite the hard trip through which they had passed"
 The survey will be at once contin- ued through to Yuma.
