MUSIC BY THE BAND.

Not having confidence in his ability to
dislodge the enemy by force Of arms, Gen.
Vaughn resortcd TO the charms of music
Ordering up his brass band, he directed
the musicians to play inspiring Dixie" "
Whether the strains of music were expect
ed 10 lure the Federals out into the open,
or intended as a serenade, | am not pre-
pared TO say. If it was a ''strategtical
play" it failed to impress the enemy.
Gen. "Cerro Gordo' Williams, failing TO
cooperate in the operations against Bulls
Gap, had marched his command, about
1900 strong. on the north side of the
Holston River TO Rogersville, and from
there to Greenville, to which place
Eaughn's brigades returned the day after
the demonstration on Bulls Gap. Will
liams was seeking an opportunity TO re
equip his division. his ammunition being
exhausted and many of his men inefficient
ly armed.
While at Greenville, recollections of
MOrcan's last march were revived in the
minds of his surviving cayalrymcn, and
many Of them ardently hoped that Gen.
Duke would lead them once more on one
of their favorite eXpedtions-a raid into
Kentucky. Conditions, however, had
changed. The fortunes Of the Confeder-
acy were fast waning; and, henceforth, in
stead of waging an aggressive warfare,
the once famous raiders were to emulate
the policy of Fabius in making retroced-
| ing movements. Occasionally a spasmod.
ic forward dash would be made. but the
| Fabian strategy would be the rule There
were to be no more raids into Kentucky
no more incursions into far country; nc
more greeting of the sons of the morn
ing with strange new flag"
After remaining at Greenville several
days, Gen. Echols, commanding the De
partment of Southwest Virginia and Eas
| Tennessee. ordered the brigades OF
Vaughn, Duke and Cosby to Carter's Sta
ton, between Jonesboro and Bristol. Gilt
ner's Brigade had been previously ordered
to Laurel Gap, to guard the Saltwork.
against the approach OF an enemy from
that direction.
Gen. Echols had received reliable intel
| ligence that Gen. Burbridge was contesn
| plating a march from Kentucky, his OBJ
jectiya point being the Virginia Salt
works. The system of procuring informa
ton from Kentucky, the most dangerous
quarter to the Department, was so wei
organized that Gen. Echols had been ap
prised of the danger two weeks before
Burbridge entered Virginia.

Burbridge, the enemy, under Gems. Gillem
and Ammon, approached from Knoxville,
marching over the same ground which had
recently been the scene of Vaughn S,
Dukes and Cosby's operations. Hence,
Gen. EcholS had ordered the withdrawal
from Greenville, he deeming it expedient
to concentrate the forces of his Depart
ment to meet the converging divisions Of
the enemy. The advent of Gen. Viii
liams was opportune and fortunate. Be
ing cut off from Gen. Wheeler, he was a
sort of free lance-acting indie lendently.
Having, by great eXertion, re-equipped his
command, he moved to the Saltworks.

HUNTING FOR CATTLE
Several Farmers Who Wish to Secure
 Small Herds

A quiet search is being made by several Imperial farmers for beef cat tie, to be used as the beginning of herds to be kept in the valley. Among the men who wish cattle are Jacob Stoner, Thomas Beach, George Ab- rams and others. Cattle are high and some difficulty is being experienced in getting them, on account of the condi- tion of the beef market and the drought in Arizona and Sonora, which has led to heavy shipments.
 The search for cattle to be brought to the valley is in line with the plans of many settlers in the valley, who from the first have expected to estab- fish cattle ranches here. Though it is but little over year since the first seed were sown in the valley, it IS now evident that there will be feed for sew eral thousand head of cattle beginning this fall, sugar sorghum and Kaffir corn being the principal feed.
 There is a marked tendency to give the preference to Kaffir corn among the sorghums. Sugar sorghum makes good fodder and Egyptian and Jeru- salem corns make good grain, but Kaffir corn best combines fodder and grain feed, and the grain is almost the equal of Indian corn in fattening val ue. This feed can be counted on for both growing and fattening stock. and the day can be said to have arrived for beginning to build up the great cattle interests which have been inevita ble from the start.
 But while the farmers are giving at tention to beef cattle, the fact must not be lost sight of that this is also to be great dairy country. Excellent milk producing feeds are found in the sorghum family, and so soon as the supply of milk is assured d creamery will be built, furnishing all excellent market for all the milk that can be produced.
 It takes a little longer and more work to get alfalfa fields to producing but in time alfalfa will also be one of the principal products of the valley.

LOOKING TO RICE
Improving for Extensive
 Cultivation in the Valley

| OIG dlWdyS lOOkS OIl d HCW NCululC with some misgivings. To the Amer ican it has never seemed natural to have oranges, lemons, raisins, prunes, figs and other semi-tropical fruits come forward in succession as impor- tant products of California. And for the same reason, Northern people who had never seen rice field hesitated to believe that rice would do well here, and even one of the expert guessers of the State University gave it as his opinion that it would not do well.
 But right by the side of the town of Imperial there is the rice field, where every body can see it, and now that it is approaching the time for heading out, it is as vigorous and healthy look ing even as were the barley fields which astaundcd old time farmers a few months since.
 The Press does not want to be pre- mature. It does not want to be under stood as declaring that the fact is es- tablished that rice growing is to be one of the great industries of Imperial valley. But 1t does want to be under stood as stating that so far as the experiment has gone success has been achieved. Other grain crops have grown large straws, and the skeptics have said: "Just wait and see if it heads out" And it did head out, pro- ducing immense crops of grain, as we'll as of straw. And now the same experience is being repeated with the rice, and we will wait and see the def- mite results, which will be manifest along in September.
 It must be borne in mind, too, that this rice is being grown by men who never saw rice field before, and they are getting a whole lot of advice, so much that they are confused.
 "Down in Mexico we simply irri- gate often enough to keep the ground moist," says one person.
 "If you don't keep the grain stand- ing knee deep in water all the time you will get no crop," says another.
 "You will drown the life out of it," com ments third.
 And so it goes, and it seems very evident that different kinds of rice re- quire different treatment, and the ex- perimental period is not yet over, but mea while the rice is pushing ahead, as though determined to make a crop, and H. c. Oakley will soon make tour of the rice fields of Texas and Louisiana to study the methods fol- lowed there.
 Rice is the principal article of food of more than a third of the worlds population, and the product of the United States still lacks much of meet ing the demand, while it ought to be one of our exports instead of our inn ports.
 Rice land in Louisiana ranges in price from $40 to SIPS an acre, while here it is to be had for $2O. There it costs $6 an acre year for irrigation; here about $2. There water is so scarce that there are frequent years of failure of the crop; here there is an abundance of water. There rice is the only crop that will grow on the rice land, and where red (deteriorated) rice gets in, it is necessary for the land to lie idle two or three years;

 And it may be added that there is nc standard for measuring the intensity of heat which gives comprehensive understanding of its effect on man Before the atmospheric temperature rises to 100 deg. Fahrenheit, in many sections of the country, horses and people begin to fall in the streets, and yet but few days since the writer saw men and horses work all day in the sun on the desert without suffer ing serious discomfort, and without the slightest apparent physical injury, when thermometers placed according to government regulationsi in the shade registered 123 deg.
 It is evident that if we can arrive at approximately the true standard for testing the degree of heat according as men and animals feel it, we will have an entirely different comprehen- sion of heat than that which is based on the commonly accepted records of temperature. And, if we can obtain that test, we will find that this quarter of the country is the most pleasantly situated as regards temperature Southern California is one of the coolest portions of the country during the summer months, while even the deserts are surpa assed in heat by many sections of the East.
 tions which affect on9 during a heated period than he might imagine. Upon the deserts in their unCultivated con dition, before water is placed on them, there are occasional uncomfortably hot winds which parch the skin, but the discomfort they bring is solely ex- ternal. In spite of them, one feels his lungs expand with invigorating air. In the streets of an eastern town or harvest field, with air shut off by build ings, hills or trees, there is little of that external sense of heat, but there is feeling of suffocation. In Los An geles and over most of California there is freedom from both the hot winds and the suffocating effect of sultry eastern heat.
 If one bars from consideration that factor of heat which is felt externally, and wlich is not destructive of life, it is believed that what is called "sen- sible" temperature is close approach to that which should be accepted as sta ndard of measurement for the whole country, and the records of sensible temperature will explain why one can work with temperature of 123 on the desert when he cannot work with tem- perature above 90 deg. in large DOT ton ot the country.
 Sinsible temperature is indica ted by wet-bulb thermometers, mercury thus being placed in a condition simi- lar to man when the record is taken. The wet cloth about the thermometer induces evaporation, and this renders latent portion of the heat which otherwise would affect the thermome- ter, just as evaporation of precipitation renders latent great portion of the heat with which person is surround ed, the effect of high temperatures be- ing thus nullified in part.
 The moisture which is evaporated from about the thermometer, and

placed in order to indicate the degree of sensible temperature in all portions of the country, from the very cool North Pacific Coast, to the hot West Gulf States.
 Study of the following table will show that the mean maximum, or av- craze highest, sensible summer heat of the Pacific Coast is below that of any other portion of the country. The average sensible temperature in Los Angeles last July, for instance, was 9 deg. below that of New York or Gin cinnati; 10 deg. below Philadelphia; 12 below Washington, and 16 below Galveston for the san month, while even the sensible temperature of the southwestern deserts was exceeded in many eastern towns.
 Total absence of summer heat is not desirable, and the highest praise of Southern California is that here both and winters find a happy and health-giving medium.
