All Companies Not Included.


After this announcement Everett
Warren of counsel for the Pennsyl-
vania Coal Company and the Hillside
Coal and Iron Company, stated the
dlfnculty of his company in being I'M
aDle to present pay rolls and other
evidence in a brief time, and approved
OF an adjournment of a week or ten
days. This was all agreed to, and
In order to give all parties an oppor-
tunlty to confer on the new state of
affairs, an adjournment was taken at
l2;45 until tomorrow morning. 1t is
probable the suggestion for a week or
ten days adjournment will be adopted.
During the entire proceedings the
matter of settlement was not spoken
of except in the commissions auuonce-
ment
1t was learned tonight by the cor
respondent of the Associated Press that
all the large companies have not yet
assented to the proposed outside agree
ment, but that in all probability they
VIII consent and continue to work as
a unit, as they did during the strike
The Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron Company, one of the cor
porat1ons, 1t is understood has not
yet been heard from on the matter.
Those who are said to be in the agree
ment scheme are the Delaware and
Hudson and the Erie Company, which
controls the Pennsylvania Coal Com
pany and the Hillside Coal and Iron
Company. The attorneys for some of
the other companies are hourly OK
pecting to hear from the head officials
OF the corporations they represent.
To-day's evidence before the COM
mission was mostly that of the doc
tors, who testified as to the unhealth-
fulness of the miners occupation Dr.
Peter Roberts was on the stand for a
brief examination, in which he said
the poverty line of miners wages was
$575 a year.
1t was agreed tonight by the
miners representatives and the at
torneys for the coal companies to ask
the commission to adjourn tomorrow
until Wednesday, Dec. 8. 1t is likely
the request will be granted

PEACE IN COLOMBIA
CONCLUDED BETWEEN HERRERA
AND GOVERNMENT COMMISSIONERS.
RIGHTS OF REVoLUTIONISTS
ARE BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN RE
STORED BY THE TREATY.

Consul General Gudger Reported
That Peace Had Been Concluded.
Colombian Legation Mt Washing
ton Had Heard Nothing Officially,
But Credit the NeSvs-Thinks This
Will Terminate IA War That Has
RaVaged the Isthmus-BeIieve Old
Terms Were Accepted.
Panama, Nov. 21.-ConsuI General
Gudger landed from the Wisconsin at
4 p. m, bringing the news that a
treaty of peace was signed this after
noon by Gen. Herrera, of the revolu-
tionary forces, and the government
commissioners.
Rear Admiral Casey will sail to-
morrow.
The principal points in the treaty of
peace, which has now been signed
by Minister of State Perdomo, specifies
that Gen. Herrera shall hand over to
the government the entire revolution
airy fleet, consisting of the gunboats
Padiila, Darien, Gaetan and Boyaca.
All the equipment of the insurgent
armies in the provinces of Cauca and
Panama and the arms and ammuni-
ton captured at Aqua Dulce are also
to be surrendered. The government
will pay the sum necessary to return
the soldiers of the revolution to their
homes.
Once peace has been declared, the
Colombian Congress will decide regard
ing the laws for the Panama canal and
the elections, and also the paper money
question, as this is the wish of the
President and of the whole nation.
Washington, Nov. 21.-Although
they have not received any official con-
firmation of the report, officials of the
Colombian legation express great sat-
isfaction over the news that treaty
of peace has been signed with Gen.
Herrera. They feel this will bring about
a cessation of all hostilities on the
isthmus and terminate a war which
has ravaged Colombia for several
years.
1t is believed here that the terms
of the treaty negotiated follows in
many respects the offers made to the
rebels some time ago by President
Marroquin. These were regarded by
the government as extremely liberal
in character. An essential feature was
| the granting of amnesty to the revolt
| utionists and their restoration to GER
| tain rights which they. forfeited when
they took UP arms against the gov
! eminent.

taloupe industry in the valley this year, but after thoroughly canvassing the situation it has been decided that the lack of a railroad is too great a handicap, and melons will only be grown for the local demand. There is no doubt of the productiveness of this valley in the line of melons or of their fine flavor, that having been estab- lished last year. It would cost BIS a ton, however, for the haul to the rail- road, condition which was considered almost or quite prohibitive. By next season it is expected that railroad ship ping facilities will be provided.

Charqed With Grand Larceny

Sheriff Coburn of Riverside and Constable Westertield of Indio passed through Imperial Tuesday evening, ing in charge man named Gilpatrick on a warrant alleging. grand larceny. The allegation is that Gilpatrick was engaged in the junk business while re- siding in Riverside, and that while so engaged he visited Ferris and took from threshing machine iron worth from $15O to $2OO.
 Gilpatrick was taken to Riverside, where it is expected he will be tried for the alleged offense.

We see that there are certainly seven constituents of this alkali. Of these the first is not harmful and is probably beneficial. We know that it, (calcium sulphate), may render carbo- nate of soda, or black alkali, harmless, the bicarbonate which appears as the fifth salt in this table. Concerning the fourth salt or potassium chloride, we are not positive that it is not bene- ficial i'll small quantities. Nitrate of soda, the sixth salt in the table, is generally considered good ferterlizer.
 From what we see and know of the growth of different crops in the Impe- rial soil, we must conclude that the alkali there, if it exists in such quan- tity as represented, has not the harm has i'll other places.
 believe the harmessness of this alkali is due to it's being quite complex; that if it were composed entirely or all most so, of any one of the constituents named ill the table, (excepting the tirsD that we might expect results as predicted by the report. We might say with them: Farming in the des- ert to ordinary crops, fruit or alfalfa will be impossible on much of the land and risky on all unless special precautions are taken to prevent the rise of the alkali.'
 We know that many salts, which in small quantities are beneficial to plants, may exist in such excess as to prove harmful to vegetation. If, how ever, we have several such salts as- sorted and mixed in very small quan- titles, while their sum may appear large, the portion of each may be actu- ally only large enough to produce the best results. Yours truly,
 DONALD G. APLIN.

NeighbOrs Disagree

Among the settlers around Diamond lake who are seeking to get water out side of that provided by the Imperial system there has been something of a contest on, and now Arthur Ewins has brought suit against c.

FROM AN EXPERT CHEMIST

It is generally admitted that the study of the effect of salts on crops is so new that no one can speak positively of the effect of any particular combi- nation of salts except by testing them with seed. Donald G. Aplin of High land, a chemist by profession, with years of experience as chemist in an alkali factory, who owns property in Imperial valley, writes interestingly to the Press as follows:
 Highland, Cal, Feb. F, 1902.
 Editor Press, Dear Sir:-Being in- terested in the Imperial lands, have been studying with some concern the Government report which we recently received. We are pleased to note the very thorough manner in which you have reviewed that report in the last issue of the Imperial Press, and are satisfied with the conclusions reached.
 1 would like to add few words con corning the composition of alkali as found in the Imperial soil, passing my remarks on that part of the report found on pages ten and twelve of the pamphlet. For convenience let us copy the analyses of the alkali as made by the report:

 That prompt, liberal and vigorous policy would be followed by the new leaders was at.once accepted as q cer- tainty, and the appearance of these day, ready to make a careful inspection and study of the needs of the valley, was token of the policy to be pursued.

all inspection of the canal system, re- turning to Imperial Thursday, Messrs. Heber and Paulin leaving for Los Angelss and Mir. Redwood remaining to take personal charge of engineer ing and construction work.
 While in Imperial, Mir. Heber said: "rhe object of our visit here is to ac- quaint ourselves more thoroughly with what is required to push work to the fullest possible limit In carrying out that policy all the teams in the valley will be given work. It will be the policy of the company to complete the work in hand before taking up any ad- ditional work, and 1t is our intention to push the towns ahead as rapidly as possible, consistent with good service and economy.
 I've don't want anything out of the irrigation system until the people are properly served. It is our inten- tion to treat each and every settler fairly, and we will never be too busy to give to any settler close attention to his needs. We propose to do our best to protect the rights oi all persons in- terested in the valley"
 MT. Paulin was present when Mir. Heber thus expressed his views, and he gave hearty assent to all that was said
 A private letter to the Press from MT. Chafiey reiterates his confidence in the great future of the valley, while expressing relief at being able to re- tire from the labor which fell to his lot. He expresses thanks to the people of the valley for friendly and vigorous and especially does he the employees of the compa- ilies and the men who have held the contracts.
