cry rancher placed on these lands brings grist to the s. P. mill. It is a matter of fares and freights with them and their colonizing agents are at work vigorously in sending people to Imperial. Not only do their agents report that hundreds of people are headed this way but it is a well-known fact that the rush of tourists and homeseekers towards Southern Cali fornia this season is to be greater than ever before in the history of this State. This report comes from all railroad agents who are in posi- tion to know whereof they speak.
 Next week the Press will give in detail an account of some of the work of development that will first be un- dertaken.

In the early days of this settlement the California Development Company started in to resurvey the public lands under the Imperial Canal Sys- tenn. Because of lack of information and established corners, there was a mistake made in getting the starting point, and hence it became necessary to apply to Congress for a resurvey of these lands by the General Gov ernment. The Imperial Land Com pany applied to Congress last June for the passage of law authorizing such resurvey and on the last day of the session such a law was passed and signed by the President.
 The Land Department at Washing ton thought it necessary to withdraw all of such lands from market until the resurvey could be made and ap- proved, and hence an order to that effect was issued and published to the world. The Imperial Land Company did not think it necessary to thus block the wheels of such an enter prise and applied to the Department to have the order withdrawing the lands from market revoked, and the revoking order was issued at once and telegraphed to the Land Office at Los Angeles. The Land Department at Washington has done everything in

Delighted With Imperial.

o. H. Norris, A. T. Can't, l.. H. Cooper and Davis Donald have re- turned from Imperial, where they spent several days, and they were completely carried away with the prospects of that thriving colony. The big ditch carrying water in plenty for all the lands under it, with lots to waste, was to them a thing of beauty and sign of prosperity After carefully weighing the problem of land and water, and the results that can be obtained from plentiful combination of the two, added to a California eli mate. They demonstrated their con- fdence in Imperial property by each one of the quartet purchasing a tract of 320 acres. Together they bought 12S0 acres of land, and their intention is to prepare the land for sowing bar ley and alfalfa this fall-Redlands Facts

tion, and the small sample crop now growing west of Imperial seems to clearly demonstrate the fact that this crop can be successfully grown in this country Expert rice men have recently visited Imperial and they de- clare that there is no question as to this being a good country for the growing of rice on a large scale with great profits. So fully are they con- vinced on this point that they are negotiating for several thousand acres of land to be devoted to this crop. Rice land is worth $125 an acre, all though it can be had for the present at the regular price of $15 an acre, for water right.
 Business Operations.
 With the development of the agri- cultural resources of this country business operations must materialize. Just as soon as the railroad can de liver people and goods at Imperial, move will be made all along the line by active, live business men. They are now waiting for the coming ac- tivity to commence.

Kansas enjoys the distinction, posi-

Union where a man has been allowed
by court of inquiry to testify regard
ing what he said to himself.
A committee had been appointed by
the legislature, says The Green Bag,
to investigate the alleged bribery Of
certain members in connection with a
defeated railroad bill The first wit
ness called testified that he saw one of
the representatives late one night COM
ing down the hotel stairs.
Il said to myself he went on, but
member on the side of the defense
jumped to his feet
Hold onv' he shouted You can't
testify about what you said to your
selfv
The prosecutor retorted that there
was no law to prohibit him from so
testifying. A long argument ensued,
but a majority of the committee agreed
with the chairman that the testimony
was admissible
Il said to myself" seriously proceed
ed the witness, ''that M. had been up
to Billy's room to get his pay"
The testimony was recorded and
made a part of the official record.

nicer than birds nest. And better than

'"The chicken, the pig, the fish and
the duck-these are the four heroes of

own, They are but usurpers in the

gave us birds nests in bowls like watts,

applauded vigorously, but smiled and

ITALIAN VIOLINS.
The First "Strad" Sent to London
Could Find No Purchaser.

The First "Strad" Sent to London
Could Find No Purchaser.
Italian violins have. not always held
the supremacy they now enjoy. 1t was
not indeed till the beginning of the
nineteenth century that they came into
vogue to any extent outside their ma
tive land. Previously Jacob Steiner
(1621-S3) was the favOrite maker, and
his high model had been almost exclu-
sively copied by his fellow Germans
and the different makers in France and
England. When the elder Corvette,
who had been a merchant before enter
ing the musical profession, came to
London, in 1888, he brought with him
some instruments by Stradivari. The
result of this endeavor to introduce
italian work into England fills one with
pathetic wonder. 1t is almost beyond
belief. AS he could not get as much as
Is $3.50 for violoncello he was obliged
to send the instrument back to Italy
for a bad speculation. Five pounds for
"Strad," and not single purchaser
to be found!
This incident in itself furnishes sufi-
cient testimony to the slavish following
Of the great German maker and the
strong prejudice of the violinists of
that period in favor of the high model.
1t is indeed the players who are most
to blame for the slow adoption of the
fiat model, for the creator must make
what is necessitated by the demand;
but the eighteenth century fiddlers, at
any rate in England, France and Ger
many, seem for the most part to have
been content that their violins should
possess small sweet tone, never real
izing the lack of power and sorority
