Daily Growing Anxious

There is no doubt that throughout Southern California the anxiety over the drought is daily increasing as the winter days pass with no visitation of rain. The grain crops in almost every portion of Southern California has been so badly parched that nothing but reseeding will lead to the produc- ton of grain or hay during the coming out abundant rain, nor is grain sown so late likely to prove big crop. So far the fruit interests of Southern California are concerned, there is a proba ability that few if any districts will be as seriously affected by drought as they have been in some preceding years.
 Another dry year in Southern Cali fornia will chiefly affect growers of grain and owners of stock, and as has been pointed out heretofore in the Press. it is possible for Imperial valley to do vast good to Southern California by shipping out feed and furnishing feed to cattle ought in to fatten. It is clearly among the possibilities that the valley will have railroad communi- cation with the outside world before the summer has passed, and many thousands of tons of feed will be grown for shipment over Southern California so soon as there is assurance of the early building of the road.

VALUE or SORGHUM

4 few months since, when the sorg- hum crop was first available for stock feed, there was wide range of opinion regarding its value, and in one or two cases where the crop was not thor ougiY cured before being baled or stacked there has been some ground for complaint. But after using the feed for several months there is very the heaviest feeders going SO far as to declare that, ton for ton, they prefer it for their horses to the barley hay be- ing imported into the valley.
 When the fact is taken into consider ation that sorghum will produce from two to four corps a year, it is evident that the feeding power of an acre of land planted to sorghum is immense, and the prospect is that, instead of be- ing simply transcient crop, planted in single year after the arrival of water, i, will become one of the fav- orcd products of the valley.
 Not only is sorghum one of the most prolific producers of feed for horses and cattle, but it is one of the best feeds for fattening hogs, and the pros pect is good that in the course of short time many of the farmers will give much of their attention to swine, using sorghum as the principal feed.

School ReOpenS

School reopened its session Monday, after the Christmas holidays, and will continue in session for about two months. Prof. J. F.. Carr, in charge of the school, returned Saturday from a vacation spent in San Diego, and is very much encouraged at the prospects of the school which he has presided over for its first term. Some days since he made an investigation of the school population of the valley, and found that the center of the population is still at about the point where the school has been conducted. This will probably change considerably in the near future with the extension of the irrigated territory, but the school year will be completed at the present site of the school.

So many teams have been coming into the valley relying on finding work that the surveyors find difficulty in keeping work mapped out for them all, and the California Development com pauy is forced to announce that they cannot take additional teams on the irrigation system.

TIE OTHER EGYPT

fear gcographics and picture books have half-spoiled the pyramids for many ofu by making them seem com monplacc, just as children's readers have spoiled some good English poetry. Then Mark Twain has set the fashion of being funny about these venerable piles, and. between the two influences, first impressions are apt to be dis turbcd There arc tourists who arrive with a flippant Hello.

Yet many of both classes go away finally in rcverent silence. wishing people had taught them less or more-ab about pyramids. For one thing, take the matter of dust and heat, in which the picture book makers have surely mislcd HIS, for do they not represent the pyramids as standing ont on burning waste, with only a naked palm tree every mile or so to keep the glare off, and individuals iu queer hats gasping about, haifsmoth- cred in the sand storms? As q matter of fact, the sevcn-unile drive from Cairo 10 Chcops comes off as pleasantly as d carriage ride out of Long Branch. and is over as good road. The whole avenue. furthermore. IS shaded by lines of acacias not d whit less inviting than those of the famous Bois de Boulognc. and so cool breeze blows down them that you scarcely feel the sun. As you roll along behind two Arab grays twhat horses they have, to be sure, in this wonderful city of Cairol, your eye is gladdcned by trop- varying greens of the rich Nile valley, for the old river covers this whole yer dant plain in July and August, and all but laps the base of Cheops.

SAN DItGO-tASTtRN ROAD

there was real carnestncss behind the San Dicgo.Easttfn railroad project There is q rumor Co the effect that the Sprcckcis interest is behind the road 70 q greater extent than has appeared, and Mir. Sprcckel. has behind him the reputation of having promoted the San Joaquin valley road, now part of the Santa Fc system. The directorate of the company now being formed allies the Sprcckcls interests, rcprcs- cntcd by r.. S. Babeock; thc San Diego Laud aud Town company. represented by John r.. Boal; the commercial inter. csts of San Diego, represented by George W. Marstou, and foreign capital identified with San Diego realty. represented by Thomas T. Hill man of Birmingham, Ala, and U. S. Grant, nominal resident of San Diego. That this is powerful combi. nation. if the representative really mean business, is certain, and the freedom which one always feels temp ted to exercise to look behind the re- turns as they appear in print licenses the Surmisc that it is possible the Southern Pacific railroad is behind the movement for the San Diego.Eastcrn road. Such Il road. branching from the present main line of the Southern Pacific near Fiowingwcll, travcrsing diagonally across the Imperial valley and leading on to San Diego, would be a most valuable feeder, besides open ing new territory and giving the road d new cutie, To tine coast.
 Regarding the road the San Diegan- Sun says:
 Although the survey of the San Diego Eastern railroad is not yet com plc,cd into Yuma, nor will II be for six weeks to come. sufficient progress has been made 10 show the entire fcasibil- ity oi the project. aud the road may now be said To be as assured as any thing no, already actually accomplish cd can ever be.
 "Thc most important move during the pas, week has been the selection of Ala. a one of the directors of the company. which will he incorporated within the next thirty days. The di- rcctors have been selected so far, as follows: Thomas T. Hillman of Biru- ingham. Ala. George w. Marston and T.. $. Grant of San Diego, F.. $. Bab. cock of Coronado, aud John r.. Boal of National City. There will be two others on the directory, and their names will be made public in n few days The directory as 90 far selected IS probably the strongest and best which could possibly have been chosen and the publication of this list will in spirc confidence wherever il goes.
 MT. Hillmau is the least known 10 San Dicgaus of any of the directors, but that does not mean that he will be one of the minor members. On the contrary. his name and influence and wealth will be great factors in the success of the enterprise. Mir. Hill man is believed to be the wcalthicst director selected so far.

ELECTRICAL POSSIBILITIES

Weekly pays tribute to the enter. prise displayed in California in devel- oping electric power, referring partic- ularly Co the great system of the Hay Counties Power Company, which sup plies power over stretch of country 4OO miles in length. The article makes no reference to the grca, systems, com. pctcd or being built for utilizing the power of the Santa Ana, San Gabriel or Kern rivers, though some of these have worldwide fame among electric. ians.
 To the people of~Sc Imperial valley electrical development is of wonderful import ance, for the dryuess of the at. mosphcre here makes this an ideal country for electrical transmission, while immense power will exist in the drops of the canals and laterals of the irrigation system, and the Colorado river has power unutilized sufficient to propcl more machinery and supply current to more electric lights than are in existence through it's course of nun dreds of miles through d country which is especially adapted to the use of water power, mercury seldom reach ing the freezing point. This is true if there be included all of Southern Cal ifornia and Arizona.
 In the course of its article Harper's Weekly says:
 The development of electric power from the iliimitable energy of Niagra has descrvedly attracted ihe attention enough, the work done at the Falls is far from aTording the best illustration obtaimabl of the success of electrical power transmission.
 'It is true that the current from Niagra Falls is utilized in Buffalo, and contributed in no small degree to the beauties of the nightly spectacle at the Pau-A merican; but if the possibilities of the art were 10 be judged by Mag ara alone, then electrical transmission would be limited. At some future period the great cataract may be har- messed to machinery more than forty mics away, but that is the present limit there, while every increase in it's elec,ral put finds great in- crease iu the absorption capacity of the enterprise now ihrongimg to the level plateau from Eclo,a up to Toua- wanda. Im the mean time, out on the missioi is undergoing d development of spectacular character, the work far transcending in magnitude and impor- tance anything ever before attempted, aud affordng examples for South Ali rica, India, Latin, America, aud Aus tralia. Fuel has always been scarce and costly there, poor imported coal selling up 10 nine and ten dollars a ton. Wood has been of prohibitive value. Oil has barely yet come within plausible consideration for power pur- poses. But the growing industries of California with her increasing popula- ton have demanded light, neat, and power. while her mines, her fruit groves. and her fields have been not less imsistcnt in their cry for the power or the water that should render them profitab bic.
