Absurd Game Law

The absurdity of the existing game law is manifest throughout the State. The Sacramento Bee says.
 "Although there are hundreds of poor families in Sacramento who have not had taste of duck all winter, nevertheless, under the benehcent pro visions of the present State bag-limit law, ducks are so plentiful in this county that in some localities they have become pest, and the farmers are obliged to sit by while their sprout- ing grain is eaten up by game which, under the law, they must not kill.
 Was ever such ridiculous situa- ton presented in this or any other State?
 At time when an uptown market man was undergoing prosecution in the city justice's court for the heinous crime of having more than fifty ducks in his market, the game warden ad- nitted in private conversation that ducks on the grounds north of the city were so numerous that it appeared to him all the ducks in the world must have collected there"

THE LAW CF ThE JUNGLE

"Now this is the Law of the Jungle-as old and
 as true as the sky;
 And the wolf that shall keep It may prosper;
 but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk the
 law ruuneth forward and back
 For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and
 the strength of the Wolf is the Pack. Now these are the Laws of the Jungle, and
 many and mighty are they;
 But the head and the hoof of the Law, and the
 haunch and the hump is-Obey!"
 In the philosophy of the great poem, "The Law of the Jungle," Rudyard Kipling set forth a principle as old as life and yet ever as applicable to man as to wolves. And especially is it es- sential that in a new community the truth should be recognized by every body that "the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack" There must be freedom and opportunity for the individual to carve out field for himself, and yet there cannot be success of the highest order unless the individuals unite for

Egyptian Cotton

Redands Citrograph wants Imperial to grow Egyptian cotton and quit monkeying with crops that can be grown anywhere. Imperial has bet ter policy than that. It is the better plan to first grow on large scale the commodities which the people know they can grow, and meanwhile to ex- pertinent with large variety of cult ures on a small scale. This includes Egyptian cotton. The California De velopment Company is conducting an experiment station at which a great variety of cultures will be tried for cost to the farmers.

H. C. Oakley has spent the last few days in Los Angeles on business trip, being represented here by T. F. Banta during his absence.
 M B. Horowitz has rC turned from a six-weeks visit with his family in Ari- zona. He will at once set to work to get in a crop on his farm, where he will be joined later by his family.
 Supervisor Jasper and Game Warden Weitzel spent several days in town re- gently looking up land for themselves. MT. Jasper has bought farm and MT. Weitzel expects to do so.
 Ed McCaige is spending some days at his home in Puente, and expects to return, accompanied by number of his neighbors. He came here in Octo- Der for d number of prospective set tiers, with a view to making study of the situation here, and to that end he worked as farm hand for about three months, finally returning home to make favorable report and bring out his own team.
 Leroy Holt has built canvas house on H street, to serve as temporary quarters for his family. It is on the programme for MT. Holt to build brick store building adjoining that to be put up by the bank, this to serve as residence for his family during the summer. Mrs. Holt returned Wedues- day from Los Anges, with her two children. and accompanied by Mir. and Mrs. James Holt, who will spend some days in the valley before returning to their home in Missouri.

snow reaching low on the foothills along the entire length of the valley, and even Signal and Superstition mountains were covered with snow.
 The temperature was not as low Friday morning as it has been some mornings this season, the still air tenn perature only having fallen to 31 de- grees above zero, while thermometers exposed near the ground recorded 26 as the lowest.
 The effect of the storm at Imperial is in some respects beneficial, though the valley is independent of rains for irrigation. It will go long way to- ward settling the loose earth on the banks of the new canals and laterals, and will thus more than compensate for the necessary idleness of men and teams while waiting for the ground to dry.
 Freighters have been obliged to sus- pend work for day or two, but when they resume work they will find more solid ground, and will not be so an noyed by deep dust as they have been of late.

SOME ASSORTED WEATHER

weather, some of which were not agrccable. This was due to the fact that general storm prevailed throughout Southern California, the moisture being extracted from the clouds as they passed eastward over the mountains, giving to this valley only the stiff breeze, which prevailed through Thursday, Friday and Satur- day, reaching its maximum on the last day.
 The last rain in the valley was dur ing February last, nearly a year ago, since which time there has been a vast amount of freighting by team, the whole country being badly cut up by wagon wheels. This had so loos- ened the soil that great deal of dust was carried by the wind. This dis agreeable feature is one of the passing institutions of the valley, for the abundant use of water in irrigation will soon have made it's repetition iin possible.
 Sunday morning the storm had passed by and the scene presented was most beautiful. From Mount San Bernardno to the Mexican line, dis tance of more than 100 miles, the higher mountains could be seen to be covered with snow. The white peaks to be seen from Imperial included those of San Bernardino, San Jacinto, Smith, and the Big Laguna noun tains. The Cuyamacas are hidden from view by lesser mountains, but it was evident that throughout the whole length of Southern California there had been a heavy snowfall on the mountains and rainfall in the valleys, breaking the drought very thoroughly, to all appearances, by giving timely moisture for immediate use and sup plying the streams and reservoirs all the way from the headwaters of the Santa Ana to the Mexican line with water for summer irrigation. As an inch of water at the present time is equivalent to several inches early in the winter for irrigation purposes, it is evident that much benefit has re- suited from the storm.
 The snow on the mountains, how ever, resulted in cold snap which, in Imperial, sent mercury down to 24 above zero, in the observatory, and to nineteen with one or two thermome- ters exposed near the ground. This is the same temperature as that recorded in Imperial during the previous cold snap in December, when much dam age was done in Southern California to citrus fruits, and 1t is feared that when full returns are in that addi- tional damage will be found to have resulted to oranges and lemons.
 The appearance of the mountains from Imperial was in no degree decep- tive, for the papers from the coast bring word of the best storm which has visited Southern California this season. From the accounts it looks as though the rain found all the inter- mountain hooks which are O ften avoid ed by storms, and that it prevailed as far south as the international line, generally ranging from an inch to an inch and half in the valleys to three or four inches on the mountains, snow being common in the higher attitudes.

Rain at Imperial

Since the above was written, South ern California has been visited by am other storm, and Imperial has come in for share of rain and snow. As the last form of the Press is printed on Thur sday, it is too early to state just what has taken place in other locali- ties, but it is evident that Southern California has experienced one of the old-fa shioned kind of soaking storms, followed by a degree of cold that may have done damage in some localities.
 "Wednesday morning at 4 o'clock rain began to fall very gently at Imperial, continuing until about noon, when it was succeeded by snow, which fell through the greater part of the after noon, though it melted as soon as it touched the ground. The precipita tion ended early Thursday night, after having reached three-quarters of an inch.
 Friday morning the valley lay in all enclosure of white mountains, the

and the pasture lands were affording but trif1e of feed. The rain will bring on grass, will make possible re- seeding of a considerable acreage of grain, and the probable growing of at least half crop of hay and grain, while the irrigation resources will be greatly benefited. With abundant rains for the remainder of the season, there will be no serious loss from drought, though there will be large demand for feed at good prices.
 It is not so easy to learn what i'm provement has been wrought by the storm in Arizona, where the situation was fully as bad as in this State. The territory was visited by rain, but whether in sufficient quantity to bring forth feed on the ranges and supply an abundance of water for irrigation is not yet known.
 The Imperial valley has vital in- terest in the question of feed over the whole Southwest, as it is likely to be called on to feed many thousand head of cattle, even during the coming sum- t.1n
