 SPRING OPENING
 AT RACKET STORE.
 The millinery opening at the Racket Store yesterday was the cause of much comment and the management certainly deserved it. Special efforts were made to surpass all previous openings and a glance through the bright parlors showed that they were successful.
 Upon entering one was reminded of a tropical garden--the budding flowers the full blossoms. the ripened berries--all re- enforced by stately palms, clinging vines and ferns. The imagination could almost detect the odor from the blossoms so plentiously scattered, yet tastefuily placed here and there.
 Among some of the spring hats noted were the Gibson, draped in' lace and black violets, the Carmen, trimmed with red gerapiums. the Liberty Satin. trim med with Tuscan braid and wreath of violet foliage the Camille. Roger, draped in lace, trimmed with cherries and fol- lage. made of folds of chiffon, and the Berthe, facing underneath of small June roses and draped on top with white Lou isine silk. made of runies of white braid and bound with satin. for misses.
 The millinery department is In charge of Mrs. Ketxky and she made many new friends by her artistic display.

The Ringing Brothers circus passed
through the city yesterday en- route west.
The trains stopped in this city to feed
and water the live stock and the animals.
The horses were taken off the cars and
taken to watering places. The opera
tions of unloading und feeding and water
ing them were witnessed by large crowd
OF people. There is hardly anything
quite so interesting to the average person
as to see the loading or unloading OF n
large circus. The facility with which
the heavily loaded wagons, cages ETC. are
handled is an eye opener to the average
person. The Ringlings gave this city
the 20 by this time for some reason or
another and skipped through here, max
ing the jump from Leadville to Mt

as the reason that they did not tarry

Judge MugfOrd's Escape

Judge w. B. Mugford had a very narrow escape from serious accident Sunday afternoon. He was driving in from Calexico in the afternoon and was getting close to town when one of the horses reared and overturned the buggy. The Judge was struck in some way behind the ear and rendered un- conscious. The accident happened about o'clock, and it was not until about 7 o'clock that he regained coll sciousness. Still somewhat dazed, he started east, going in the wrong di- rection. But fortunately he did not go far before coming to his team. After fighting the buggy, the horses brought him in, getting here about 7:3O.

Irrigating by Contour

So far as work of irrigation in the valley has gone, it is apparent that making the lands conform to the con- tour of the farm is growing greatly in favor. Contour lands are of irregular shape and may not be so attractive to the eye, but they enable the irrigator to handle much larger head of water and to keep it under control. With contour irrigation there is no necessity for having waste water or paying for water which is not used. In the saw ing of labor and water, and i'll having no unirrigated spots, contour irriga- tion seems to be great improvement over the old method of making oblong lands without regard to contour.

A very important case has just been decided by the Superior Court of this county, in which the Imperial Settle ments are vitally interested and each settler has vital interest in the con- clusions reached.
 The California Development Com pany undertook the task of reclaiming a large tract of worthless desert worthless only for want of water. This entire country belonged to the Government, and under the law the company had right of way for its canals and ditches by filing maps. The work progressed so rapidly that it was not feasible to file these maps Ill advance of work.
 In the course of events the Califor- nia Development Company made contract with the Sunset Commercial Company agreeing that the last named company might have the ex- elusive right to sell the water stock of Imperial Water Company No. for the irrigation of lands on the east side of Carter river, and under that contract about 10000 shares of stock were sold to persons who took up that number of acres of land.
 Differences arose between the two companies as to the work to be done under that contract and as a result no work was being done by the Sunset Commercial Company in the construc- ton of the canal system as provided for in that contract, and the settlers were thus left without any immediate prospect of getting water on their lands.
 At this juncture the California De velopment Company stepped into the breach and agreed to build the canal system so the settlers could get water and then settle its differences with the Sunset Commercial Company in the courts.
 This was satisfactory to the settlers and to every body else except to G. w.

WORK AGAIN IN PROGRESS
 EAST OF CARTER RIVER

Boutwell,, the President of the Sunset Commercial Company.
 In order to prevent this work from being done, and apparently to force the California Development Company to a compromise, Frank Boutwell,, a brother of G. w. Boutwell,, who had acted as representative of the Sunset Commercial Company in the desert, went to a point selected as heading for the canal that was to irri- gate the Eastside country and filed homestead on a quarter section of lana, and then commenced suit against the California Development Company asking for an injunction to prevent any further work on the canal system, and also damages to the extent of $2,OOO.
 The case was tried before Judge Torrance of San Diego, and in the trial it appeared that MT. Boutwell, would not be damaged to any extent, for his land was worthless without ir- rigation, and without this canal sys- tenn he could have no irrigation.
 On the other hand, if the injunction was issued stopping work, settlers on 16, 900 acres of land would be seriously damaged, besides the door would be opened for others 10 squat on land and levy blackmail against the company, thus stopping all further developments $ and the reclaimed land must thus go back to the desert again.
 The court denied the injunction, thus virtually declaring that such tactics as this could not be allowed to stop a great public improvement, such as the reclamation of d great country as that included under the Imperial Canal System.
 On receipt of the news of the decis- | ion plans were at once made for resuni- ing work work OH the Eastside system, and the delay of about two weeks in the work will not seriously delay the completion of the sys em.

The worst wind storm in the history of Imperial was experienced Sunday, the wind carrying a great amount of dust.
