of California in writing of field ana
garden irrigation tells how by this
means waste land which is both USE
less and treacherous is reclaimed and
made productive, while at the same
time the waste water which destroyed
it is utilized to make other lands more
productive.
Professor Wickson says: Many farms
have blepIishes of this kind to be re-
moved, and long and costly channels
are cut merely TO provide an outflow
to n water course. 1t would often be
less expensive to include Il system of
irrigation and thus to double the return
for the necessary expenditure. Foul
mudhoes which are, maintained for
watering stock can be made to yield a
wholesome water supply for stock and
an irrigation supply for the farm gar
den by piping from the reservoir, which
can be constructed on the site of the old
mudhole at 4 little cost. All these i'm
provements can be accomplished by the
ordinary methods and materials for un-
foreground drainage.
There is one matter in connection
with projected utilization for any
small outcropping of water to which
careful attention should be given, and
that is approximate knowledge of the
amount of water which can be made
available. This may be obtained be-
fore investment of labor or material Is
made by opening up the spring thor,
oughly, cleaning it out to expose its
outflow and measuring the flow in a
water tight basin or vessel of known
capacity. Note the time required to fill
the vessel, and it can be quickly cal
culated how much the spring will yield
in twenty-four hours. Almost every
one will be surprised at the result of
the measurement. A trickle of water
thought to be too insignificant for con-
sideration will be found to yield a very
effective continuous flow if the water
is collected.

ure. Suppose the spring fills 1t in two
minutes. the yield would then be 5000
gallons in twenty-four hours, or 1OS,-
600 gallons in one month";, and this
amount is equivalent to nearly four
inches of rainfall on an acre of ground.
Such an amount, if carefully collected
and applied, would keep garden of
small fruits and vegetables in good,
growth even with very little rainfall il

A Trivial Case

Last Tuesday morning very trivial criminal case was tried before Judge w. B. Mugford. It seems two young men had started in "joshimg" each other and it finally lead to blows. One of the young men was discharged and seeing the other standing quietly by made a rush at him and threatened to lick him. The young man ran around the men standing there but finally stopped short distance away when it was seen lie had a revolverill his hand. He was charged with assault with a deadly weapon" and brought to town for trial. Attorney H. N. Dyke defend ed the accused but, after the evidence was all in, he did not have all oppor- tunity 10 display his eloquence, for

Telephone Improvement

J. H. Dietrick has been very busily engaged the past two weeks putting the Imperial telephone line in first class shape. He has gone over the line on an inspection tour from Old Beach to Calexico, and has just installed in his building switch board. He has also installed therea public telephone and has employed IS operator at the central station Mrs. F. M. Starks, who has had considerable experience in this capacity at other places. It will be some time yet before complete change from the old way to the new is.made, but when the work is finally completed patrons of the telephone line will be much better pleas d Wh en the company has inaugurated entirely the new system a number of additional 'phones will no doubt be put in oper- ation.

Judge Mugford deemed the evidence so utterly inadequate that he dismissed the case. However he took occasion to deliver a short lecture to both the young men which. if needed, will save them much trouble hereafter.
 It seems to us that such trivial cases should never come before justice as it makes the county needless expense unless the justice should exercise his perogative and require the informer to file bond that he will pay the costs charges.

A shortage of hogs is predicted, based on the effect of high prices upon the amount of breeding stock, and the scarcity of feed last year, and in cer- tain sections this year. This is a plain hint to farmers to secure all the pigs they can, and feed alithey can we'll. There is more clear profit in raising and feeding hogs for market than in growing any staple crop for sale. Also, the best way to market staple crops is to grow such as hogs thrive on, feed these crops to good grade of hogs, and when they weigh from 200 to 300 pounds, sell them to the packers. Then you get all your money back, and much more than, the market prices for your crop

toire company as that which welcomed
Dot Karroll last night. Every seat
was sold at O'Clock, the standing

time. Still the people continued to
come, men, women and even children
clamOring to gain admission. At
least three hundred people were turned
away. AS to the play presented, "A

of perfection. The inimitable, ire
pressible little Dot Karroll as the
tough newsgirl, Mamie Brennan, was
whole show in herself, well worth
double the price of admission. She
kept the audience cOnvulsed with
laughter throughout the evening.
Round after round of applause
greeted her bristling wit and her
every appearance was the signal for a
demonstration. But the production
in every detail was exceptionally fine,
Miss Karroll not being alone in WIN
