Electrical Power for Irrigatlng.

The possibilities of the Colorado River as generator of electrical power are being investigated by a party of government surveyors and experts. who are now at work between Yuma and Needles These men are experienced in geodetic and civil en- gineering and it is believed that upon their report the government will test the practibility of the current of the Colorado as a generator by establish ing plant at Parker with which to raise and withdraw water from the river for the purpose of irrigating the lands of the Mohave Indian Reserva- tlon. If it prove success we may expect to see numerous plants put in along the river for the purpose of de- veloping power for use in mining and other industries as we'll as irrigation. It is evident that the government has faith in the project. or it would no. be giving the matter so much atten- tion. The installing of power plants of this character constitutes the prin- cipal cost as the expense of main taining them in operation will be confined simply to the wear, by fric- tion of the machinery, the motive power being perpetual. and therefore of great advantage over the usual methods of generating electric power.

Home from the Desert.

Capt. Barrett, who is becoming noted for his rapid drives to and from the desert oil sections, returned last night late from trip to that portion of the Carriso Creek oil prospects in which the Barrett we'll is located and where the captain has a force of men at work. The captain went almost immediately to the Brewster Hotel and retired, being greatly fatigued by the long ride which was greatly extended, as he desired to reach San Diego last night. He went out for the purpose of taking a look at the property, and he returned satisfied with what he had seen. Last evening he declined to talk because of wear mess from the ride, but he is very sanguine of final success.-San Diego Union.

SpeCuIdting on Government Land.
The Alameda Encinal says:

The Alameda Encinal says:
 The Chronicle calls attention to the taking ol large bodies of public lands on the desert and suggests that this may be done by spectators, who have no intention of aiding in the reclamation of that land, but merely intend to take advantage of the en- terpriSe of others and sell out at large profit without any risk to them selves. This has already been done in the locality referred to-the de- velopment of the Imperial region of the Colorado Desert. Men who ought to be in better business have gone there and taken up" large tracts of pubic land, and have refused point blank to contribute in any way to the development of irrigation. That de- velopment is costing a large amount of money and the only way in which the enterprising men who are behind it can recoup themselves is by sell ing water to the people who take the land. The land is perfectly worth less without water, yet 1t is possible to realize a large profit by taking up such tracts, refusing. to invest cent in water, and then waiting until the enterprise of others in irrigation has made the dry land largely valuable, when it will be sold by the speculat- ors. This ought not to be permitted. No man should be allowed to specu- late with public lands in this fashion. And some means ought to be taken to prevent it in future, as suggested by the Chronicle.
 Speculation of this character has been quite expensive, but up to date has not been very profitable, as the price of water stock has kept pace with the advance in the price of land with water stock. The speculation proves to be in the water stock and not in the land yet the attempt to so speculate in the land has proven to be a damage to the irrigation enter prise although of little benefit to those engaged in the business.

Electrical Power.

The Colorado River is becoming one of the most prominent rivers in the United States because of it's power to produce wealth through it's irri- gation water, and also its water power for electrical purposes. The King man Miner says:
 A party of government surveyors are now at work on the Colorado River, below Needles, Investigating the possibilities of the current of that stream being used for the generation of electrical power. These men are electricians, geodetic and civil engi- neers, with years of experience in their profession. On their report it is be- lieved that the government will make an effort to demonstrate the practi- cability of the current generators and will probably operate the irriga- tion plant at Parker by this method Surveys will be made of the various canyons, through which the river rushes on it's way to the gulf, and of these maps will be made for use in the departments at Washington. The government believes that the Colorado River can be used to irrigate a vast acreage of Arizona and California lands and by the generation of cleo trical power can be withdrawn from the river for this purpose at a mere nominal expense. Once these gener- ators are installed, the expense of maintaining them will be limited to the ordinary wear and tear of machin- cry, no other expense attached to them Private individuals are also looking into the matter with view for mining purposes. It is claimed that the generators to be used have been in practical use on other streams.

Polish Imperial Settlement.

There is a more or less nebulous prospect for a Polish colony in Lower California, near the head of the Imper- ial canal. The Imperial Land Com pany of Los Angeles has been enter taining overtures from Thomas Male waja, a Pole from Nampa, Idaho, for the purchase of tract, approXimating 100000 acres in extent, in the Colorado River valley, beginning near the Cal ifornia line and extending southward therefrom.
 MT. Nalewaja expects his family soon from Idaho. and says he will go at once to locate the city site, which shall be the nucleus for his settle ment. He says he will bring Poles from all over the United States, who will settle in the peninsula with

The Southern Pacific IS considering seriously the question of building a branch of their railroad to Imperial and CaleXico. and the chances are that such branch will be built before crops are ready to move the coming summer and fall, There are no diff culties in the way. Right of way may be secured for the asking. There are no cuts or fills and almost no grad ing is required. Just put down the ties and spike the rails. and there you are.

Jacob Stoner's Report on Imperial.

Jacob Stoner returned home from Imperial last Tuesday. Mir. Stoner has been very busy looking after his in- terests in the new country. He has superintended the baling of large amount of feed stuff. but says that feed is becoming scarce as that raised the past season is fast being consumed by the large number of teams that are at work on the canals, putting in crops and hauling freight A kiln of brick has been burned and brick build ings will soon be in course of con- struction. A good lumber yard is at Imperial and building supplies of all kinds are at hand Many newcomers Ire arriving daily and proceeding to put their land under cultivation as fast as possible. Mir.
