radical that l at first thought l had

A better place to settle down. There are

The remedy is sure cure, and l will

1t will also cure scarlet fever. 1t is also
preventive for smallpox and to a well
person will do no harm.
Alex Sinclair-The first trial of the
new chemical engine was at the fire last
Thursday evening. This was not a fair
test of the efficiency of the machine. At
the same time / believe it will do the
work required in growing city like
North Yakima. The first test was not a
satisfactory one for the reason that the
fire chief and driver could not be pres

by "green hands" Taking these
things into consideration think we did
excellent service at the fire and l believe
it will be all right when once we learn
how to handle it properly.

High Water Coming

The carpenter force of the Califor- mia Development Company has about completed all important structure at Beltran's slough, in Mexico, several miles up Carter river from the heading of the main canal. At that point the slough leads out of the Carter at a point in a crescent formed by the river, the slough leading to the over flow lands. A water way with gate has been opened between the points of the crescent and another gate will be put in the slough. The first gate will make it possible to discharge from the Carter at time of high water all water not needed for irrigation, and the sec ond gate will prevent water wasting through the slough when it is needed.
 This work is made desirable at the present time because the water in the Colorado river is rising steadily toward the annual June freshet, bringing down the SHOW water from its whole length up to Wyoming.
 Last year the summer overflow wa ter was controlled as it has been in its state of nature, by letting it waste down the Carter and New rivers to- ward the lakes and the Salton sink. Works in the Carter lower down make it desirable to prevent wasting down that stream this year in great quan- tity, and hence the control of the strea Ill at Beltran's.

EaStSide Drop

Excavation for the 17-foot drop on the east side of Carter river is com pleted and the carpenters will in few days begin tile work of building the structure. This will be the highest drop in the valley. It is to be built at the east end of the big dike across the Carter and is designed to waste water from the lake created by the dike back into the river. It will govern the sup ply of water for the Eastside canal, but no steady flow of water will pass over the drop until all irrigation sys- tenn is provided for the land further north.
 Work is now in progress again OH the Eastside canal and laterals, of which there are to be about fifty miles, for the irrigation of about 25,O0O acres. This land, which has been filed on, is among the best ill the valley, and there is certain to spring up a prosperous com munity on that side of the river. Farming will begin there in the fall.

PiCaChO Mines

A letter received from Supervisor James Jasper from Picacho mining camp on the Colorado river, states that the camp is booming. There are 200 men at work there now and the num- be will be increased to 500 by October 1. A railroad 6 miles long from the mines to the Colorado river, where the big stamp mill has been located, has been built. This mill is the largest re- duction works in Southern California out side of the Golden Cross and the mines are said to be of much greater capacity than the Golden Cross mines, and much richer in quality of ore as well.
 The big increase in mining industry in the eastern side of this county will add much to the importance of Mir. Jasper's supervisoral district, and give him a lot of extra work to look after, although, unfortunately for him, his compensation will not be increased.- San Diegan-Sun.

School Term Closing

The first year of school in the Impe- rial valley will close in two weeks.
 With the opening of the new school year there will be three districts in place of the one of the past year, and
 provision will thus be made for pupils from all parts of the valley. This will increase the attendance very ma terially, for there will not only be many new children in the valley next fall, but those who have been too far from the school to attend the past year will be able to get to one of the schools.
