Scarcity of Cattle

Throughout the country there is a growing complaint of the scarcity of cattle, giving rise to better prices for beef than have been known for years. It seems that three causes are quite generally given for the condition. h. creased exports of meat t,encroachmen on the ranges by settlers, and high price of corn, which prompts its sale by the farmer rather than the feeding of it to stock.
 It seems certain that the increased profit in the cattle business is no tran scient state of affairs and the person who is contemplating engaging in that business can do so with assurance of large profit in his business in the steady run of events.

The Greatest Need

The friends of irrigation succeeded
 in getting single sentence inserted
 in the platform adopted at San Jose and only one. Yet it is a sober fact
 that there is no more important matter before the people of California today than this same one of irrigation. Our water laws are mass of inconsis- tency and contradiction. Our court decisions are conflicting and product i've of litigation. The whole thing must be gone over and an entirely new plan adopted for the administration of water that belongs to the people, be- fore California can hope to take the position to which she is entitled. Yet it seems impossible to take even the initiatory steps that are essential. Politicians look with sort of pitying smile upon an ''irrigation crank" and when he tries to point out to them the fact-that irrigation is the supreme question in California today-they wave it aside and proceed to the mat ter which is of far more importance to them-the apportionment of some piece of political pie. Some day the State will wake up, and will upset the entire system of water administration, or rather maladministration and put an end to the ceaseless and expensive that cannot be ended until the State does act.

The Dairy Business

Now that oleomargarine is to be backlisted by national legislation, there is every reason to believe that the butter makers of the country will find their industry greatly stimulated. There is no industry in the State which offers greater opportunities than this, and the steady profits pouring into the pockets of the dairynen are leading on to steady increase in pro- duction. California is already one of the three leading dairy states of the Union, but we'll it can be that it will make still further increase in this line, with best ofopportunities for exporting. Already the State has the reputation of producing nothing but fancy but ter-the only grade that is fit to eat, and this reputation will of itself go long way toward opening markets as fast as the product can be increased.

Does Not Accept It

The San Diego Union, commenting on the articles in the Los Angeles Herald and Times, reprinted OH an- other page of the Press, seeks to dis credit the statement that the Southern Pacific railroad is about to build from Yuma westward into the Imperial val ley, with prospect of branch to San Diego. The Press does not under take to say what the real plan of the Southern Pacific company is, nor does enterprise of the San Diego people in building their own road through to Yuma. But there does not seem to be any reason to doubt that, whatever the details of its plans may be, the South ern Pacific railroad has extensive projects for the Imperial valley, and if the reports be true, it will pass through the heart of the valley, while the San Diego survey leads along the border of the valley, where that road cannot be of the most benefit to the valley nor command to the utmost the business to be created here.
 There is room here for two railroads and there is certainly room for two more in San Diego, if that city is to become all that its friends expect of it, and the building of Southern Pacific line into that city need not in the least interfere with the building of the San Diego-Eastern.

Dozen Club Formed

The first club in Imperial has been formed, the object being to provide the comforts of home, particularly at meal time, to the members. Mem bership is limited to twelve persons, and Mrs. Muller has been employed as cook, the club having chartered the adobe house she recently built for their exclusive use. The organization is to be known as the Dozen club, and the charter members are: George A. Carter, George Carter, J. k. Heber, J. l.. Al verson, B. Harbour, Leroy Holt, Otto Schrader, Lee Armijo, A. w. Patton, A. Edgar and E. F. Howe. George A. Carter was elected president, J. E. Heber secretary and Leroy Holt treas urer.

Back From the Desert

County Surveyor Ward aud Captain Allen returned from three-weeks trip to the desert. This was a very inter esting one, and barring little uncom- fortable weather, very pleasant. The first stop was made at Boulder creek, where Mir. Ward surveyed a stretch of proposed road connecting that place and the Eagle peak road. At Banner the new road was inspected and found in very satisfactory condition.
 The whole back country is green, and the farmers are happier than they have been for several years. At Julian the residents said that they wanted an- other half inch of rain to make good for the season, and since MT. Ward left they have had an inch, and he thinks that they will have big crops. The beemen are feeling happy, also. There is an abundance of flowers, and the ranchers are paying a great deal of attention to their hives and expect good returns. Considerable work is being done on the mines about Julian and Banner. Parties have taken all option on the well-known Ranchita property, and are pumping it out and retimbering the shaft. It IS thought that extensive developments will fol- low.
 The desert country is looking fine, but Mr. Ward says that things are getting little warm out that way. Just at present the weather is very changeable. Last Friday morning the thermometer stood at los in the shade and the following Monday over coats were in order. The crops are in excellent condition and some are al- ready beginning to harvest. One man at Calexieo had just cut his barley, and it is claimed that it went three tons to the acre. The crop stood as high as mans head, and was very little if any coarser than the or dinary feed of much smaller growth. He refused all $500 offer for the twenty acres as it stood. Hay is sold now at S15 per ton, where formerly 1t was sold for $50, and was scarce at that. The irrigating problem is beginning to lessen as additional ditches are built, and as fast as they get water the settlers are planting their crops, as seasons don't count in that country. There is still a great deal of digging to boom with the construction of sev- eral new buildings. The country is settling up rapidly and everybody seems we'll satisfied with the outlook.
