EFFECT or RAILROAD

An additional force of men is being engaged to work on the Southern Pa cific grade from Old Beach to Imperial with view to rushing work ahead to completion as soon as possible. Ii is but three months before the date set for the operation of trains over the road, and naturally things must move rapidly up to that date.
 It already seems apparent that there is material improvement in the bus mess at Imperial since the announce ment that the Southern Pacific Com pany would build into town by Sep tenn Der 1. Many inquiries are being made, and good many people are coming in, despite the advent of warm weather. There is general expecta- tion that the completion of the road to town will lead to something of a rush for property, and property owners are generally holding firm in the expecta- ton of all advance in values with the completion of the road. This is par ticularly the case with town lots. Two inside lots were sold a few days since for $500 which were bought of the company six months ago for $2O0, and there are great many lots in town which could not be obtained for $25O each. It is believed by almost everyb body here that gilt edge busi- ness lots will be sold within year for 5000 each, and outsiders seem to be of the sa me belief, for many of them are securing lots. There are several build ings projected for the near future, showing disposition on the part of buyers to make improvements.

 Postoffice Inspector Hall of Los An geles visited Imperial this week for the first official inspection of postal affairs in the valley.
 Report from Los Angeles is to the effect that J. E. Heber, who went in some days since suffering from an att tack of inflammatory rheumatism, is improving steadily.

there was begun an era of expansion during which water was spread over a steadily increasing area, until, even in years of normal rainfall, there was scant supply of water. It became the practice to divide the water equally between the consumers, regardless of priority of use or appropriation. Fin ally the local court rendered decision that the land in the valley was entitled to the use of the water according to priority of use, which implied that a certain portion of the land using wa ter would have its supply cut off even in normal years. No effort was made, however, to enforce this principle for several years, but steps are now being taken to enforce that principle. Dur ing the last three or four years the rainfall has been light, and the water available for irrigation has been cut down, until an enforcement of the courts ruling would leave but small portion of the irrigated area with am- pie water.
 The decision, it will be noted, is not based on the filing of claims to water, but on its actual use, and in enforcing this construction of law, if it holds in the higher courts, there will be the difficult problem of determining just when each acre of land Was brought under irrigation.
 This procedure, if successful, will take water from number of partially irrigated farms, rendering valueless the mprovements, but will make other farms exceedingly valuable.
 The people of the valley, however have long been considering d storage reservoir sy stem, and it is highly prob able that this action will tend to hasten the construction of the system, through which water would be made available for everybody.

Copper Wire Mill

The probabilities are that Los Ange- a large copper wire mill, the building and equipment for which will involve the expenditure of $5,OOO,OOO, says the Herald. Henry E. Huntington is one of the promoters of the enterprise, as also is D. O. Mills, of New York and San Francisco, and associated with them ill company which already has been organized are several of the cleo tric railway owners and operators of the West.
 Senator Stephen w. Dorsey was the originator of the wire mill project. He has devoted the past several months to work of interesting Pacific Coast investors. When MT. Huntington and Mir. Mills became interested, it was comparatively easy to win others, un- til now it is stated that capital of $5,000, ,00O has been fully subscribed.
 The original plan was to establish here a large copper ore reduction works and in connection with it wire nill and this may yet be done.
 But it has not yet been settled that Los Angeles will secure the works, although MT. Huntington's influence is all for this city. MT. Mills favors San Francisco, but it was given out yesterday that his preference can cas- fly be overcome, and with MT. Hunt ington and the large steam and cleo tric railway interests favoring this city, it is hoped that Los Angeles will be given this plant, as the first great manufacturing plant of Southern Cal itornia.
 Detailed plans for the mills have not been made, nor is it made public as yet what will be the extent of the work, as this will depend to a great measure on the site that is selected. Employment will be given to several hundred men.

This illus trates we'll the importance of getting land where there can be no question of the abundance of water. In the Salt Rive valley the early settlers had more water than they could use, and

greensboro, n c., July 16.-While con-
siderable surprise is expressed at the
defeat Of Reuben Reid for solicitor of
the Eleventh Judicial District, general
congratulations are being given to~Por-
ter Graves, of Surry, who secured the
prize this morning lat Winston at las
O'Clock. Mr.. Graves is a son of the late
Judge Graves, beloved all over the State
and is one of the most promising young
leaders in the work On one ballot Reid
came in one-third of vote of getting
the nomination.
AS to the nomination of E. B. Jones
for judge when he was insisting on be-
ing nominated for solicitor, it is fact
that Mr.. Jones was in a position where
it was impossible for him to refuse. The
declaration that Mr.. Reid engineered and
carried through the plan to eliminate
Jones from the contest for solicitor by
compelling him to accept the nomination
for judge, it is said cost him the solicit
torship, for not only Forsyth, but coun-
ties having candidates for judge never
appreciated the move as the ballots
showed at one time, before the break was
made to Jones. Fields, of Allegheny,

ted for judge. A fatal recess was taken,
and at a conference during the recess
the plan to nominate Jones was formu-
lated and he got nine more votes than
necessary on the first ballot.
Mr.. j. C. Buxton, of Forsyth, was
waited on early in the morning, before
the convention met and was urged to
say that If he was nominated for Judge
he would not refuse it, and that Mr..
Buxton positively declined the proposal
Then it said the alternative of solicit
toral counties forcing Jones out of the
race, by making him a judge was resorted
to- 1t is also said that if Jones had de-
clined Buxton would have been nominal
ted and the responsibility of refusing the
honor forced upon him.
A strange thing about the man who

ing from Raleigh, is that although he
has become conscious and can talk, he
has not yet disclosed his identity He is
we'll dressed and does not appear to be
a tramp, and yet not a scrap of paper
letter or other means of discovering who
he was has been found. 1t has developed
that the unfortunate man had probably

injured before the passenger train
struck him. He is still living, but is
probably fatally hurt
