4 Reality Beyond Dreams

The most potential project in the Presidents message is the one which is attracting least attention where it should be most loudly acclaimed.

Presi- dent Roosevelt points 10 the deserts and dry lands of the West-SO0, ,0O0, 900 acres still in the public domain and as much again in private hands, all yield ing almost nothing.
 There are l,6O0 ,oO0 square miles of the richest land-for desert land IS full of the virgin resources of nature for the production of vegetable life. It is domain containing not far from one-half the area of the United States. Ii is capable of maintaining popu- lation of several hu ndred millions.

New Years Awakening

The new year was ushered in Wednesday morning, just after mid night. by salute from a number of six shooters. Fear had been expressed by a number of people that the new year would not appear on time, and to make sure of its advent watch was set at the store of the Imperial Mercantile company and at the hotel, the engineer corps being in town to assist in the good work.
 F. F. Hall, in charge of the corps, had fine display of fruit, cigars and candies which were passed around with generous hand while awaiting midnight.
 While the reception of the new year was spontaneous il was none the less enthusiastic, and work was re- stunned Wednesday morning with zeal, confidence being felt that the year 1902 has some great things in store for Imperial valley.

STRUCTURAL WORK PROGRESSING

In bringing water from the Colorado
 river and distributing it over the vast
 tract of land. without having an im- pounding reservoir anywhere on the
 line, it Ia necessary Co have a number of large structural works to control the
 flow of the water, and in addition to this. the canals and iaierais are SO large that number of big bridges arc required. This makes a dena nd for a great deal of lumber, some of it of spec ial dimensions which can only be had on special order and which is sometimes delayed in shipment. The work on the structures is proceeding rapidly, how ever. and the last few weeks have made a material difference in the sp- pearancc of the canals and laterals. The drop and main hcadgate at Station 32 is finished, as is the headgate from the main canal into the north fork of Carter river. for irrigating the East Side, and the carpenter work is fn- ''"NH Sh N"N Oib NiOP aA bAaAiou low Grading is about finished for another big drop in the main canal at station 35i. Two bridges have been con structcd over the main canal. one on Imperial avenue, bet twecn Imperial and and the other east of Calcxico. Each of these bridges has two spans of about SO feet each. the main canal being larger than many rivers.
 One of the most important structural works will be on the main canal south of Imperial, at the point where it turns 10 the northward. There will be a drop of II feet and a waste leading 10 New river. There will also be head gates in the structure for the Elder and Eucalyptus laterals and a delivery box for the ditch leading to Imperial. Tea ms are now at work grading for this structure, and the carpenters will soon be al work on ii.

Severe Wind Storm

Throughout Southern California a severe windstorm prevailed on Friday, December 2, which in some places did material damage 10 buildings. while tits estimated that 1000 carloads of oranges were destroyed. In Los Angeles, which was out of the wind belt, the dust was so dense as to cloud the sun as completely as is done by a rainstorm. It was the worst storm known for many years.
 In Imperial the wind came from the north, and while not strong enough to tear down tents or other temporary quarters, a disagreeable amount of dust was raised.

NATIONAL IRRl6ATIcs

Represcntivc Newiands of Nevada. secretary of the arid lands committee of congress representing all arid and seu1i.arid states and territories, has sent out copy of the bill, as completed by that committee, and requests sug- gcstions from those interested. 4 meeting of the entire committeeis Is to be held January 7, when the bill will be gone over and indorsed as the arid lands bill, to stand or fall. The bill. as framed and perfected by the sub committee, has met the indorsement of all the representatives of the west ern states who have seen it. It's main provisions are:
 All money received from the sale of public lands in arid or semi-arid states and territories, except 5 per cent set apart for school puf poses, is to go into an arid land reclamation fund.
 The secretary of 'he interior is di- rected to survey, locate and construct irrigation works.
 The secretary may withdraw from public entry lands required for irri- gation works, lands under irrigation systems to be subject to entry only under the provisions of the homestead law in lots of not more than eighty acres
 The secretary is authorized to let contracts for the construction, in whole or part, of any given system, to be paid for from the reclamation fund, provided no system shall be built where the estimates show that the cost would exceed S1O per acre of lands irrigable therefrom, and provided that no contract shall be let until the nec- essary funds are available.
 Title to all works is to remain in the government.
 In case the water developed is more than sufficient to perpetuate the gov ernment works, water rights may be sold to irrigate private land at not less than $ an acre, but not for more than eighty acres to one land owner. This money is to go into the reclamation fund.
 Nothing in the bill is intended to conflict or affect in any way the laws of any state or territory regarding the control, appropriation, use or distribu- tion of water, but state laws shall con-
  ters rendered available under the re- clamation bill; provided that the right to use the water acquired under this bill shall be perpetual, and beneficial use shall be the basis and limit of right.

 but she has a much greater one today"
 The most interesting thing Mir
 Scott heard al Imperial was the talk about the branch railroad from Flow ing Wells, aud the junction a, Imperial with the San Diego. Eastern: "I found the greatest interest in the railroad project, ," says Mir. Scott "while the matter of junction of the two roads at Impcriri was mentioned in my hearing A number of times. Our people have no conception of the large amount of work which is being done there. I am confident that the country over there has great future. Ii has only just commenced togrow. People here should give it their hearty support. If they havc't money 10 invest they should lose no opportunity to lend to the enterprise their moral support. There is going to be business enough over there to support a city larger than this. We arc sure 10 get a large part of the benefits, particularly if we get our railroad. The fact to be borne in mind above all others is that the country is tributary to this city.
 At ono of the meetings of our rail. road committee l heard we'll in- formed man say that the desert was capable of supporting line of rail road to this city. Since then l have made two trips 10 the desert and am now convinced that he was right.

There has been some marked changes in the value of real estate. Lands which were sold al $l. 25 pei acre before the advent of water are now selling in small tracts with water at so per acre"
 Mir. Scott says that he was impressed with the good roads between here and the desert. With good rig the trip can be made overland in about three days.

COUSINS CAMPAIGN WORTH.

"A brief news item in recent issue
OF the Cedar Rapids Republican sug-
gests a fact that has long been patent
to these who know Congressman Cous-
ms. The Republican says:
Word was received yesterday in Ce-
dar Rapids. that if Congressman Cous-
ms would go to Ohio for speech, that
United States Senator j. B. Foraker
would in return come to Cedar Rapids
for political address on the night of
Oct 25."
In other words, the people of Ohio
have heard of the Fifth district con-
gresham and. in order to hear him. are
willing to trade Senator Foraker, one
of the three or four leading senators,
and admittedly one of the foremost
statesmen of the United States today.
It is by such Incidental measures OF
value that citizens here may know how
their congressman stands abroad.

1t is because the bill gives the 10000
schools of the Church of England the
big advantage, and one it is likely. to
be extended, that opposition to the bill
is now SO strenuous.
The bitter opposition may possibly
upset the present government majority
in the commons. .Advices at the close
of the week show that the monochrome
lists declare their readiness to go to
prison rather than to pay the tax in
support of such schools. They COM
plain that the whole people are called
upon to pay for the teaching of the re-
ligious tenets of a section. They de-
mand public control of the schools
supported by public funds and proclaim
as their motto: IF we pay we man
age" Many of them point with pride
to American public schools and they
demand similar immunity from Sec
tartan influences. Both sides stubborn
ly adhere to their respective sides of
the contest, and apparently it can only
be settled by an appeal to the people.

more gain was made from the combi-
nation of corn, corn fodder and clover
hay than from corn and timothy hay,
the amount of corn cons umed being ex-
actly the same, and the amount OF
roughness eaten not essentially diff
ferent.
Considering the results of all our ex-
periments, and making full allowance
for the fodder that remains uneaten,
that is, the coarse stalks, the inevitable
conclusion is that a combination of corn
fodder and clover hay is fully equal to
timothy hay whether fed without grain,
with small allowance OF grain, on half
feed or on full feed, and whether with
yearlings or aged cattle. In other
words, the farmer can by this means
make the whole coarse fodder produced
in the middle west serve every purpose
in cattle-feeding for which timothy is
now used. Under these circumstances,
it is fair to say that timothy and corn
fodder have essentially the same feed
ing values. 1t is needless to say that
these experiments point the way for a
large saving, and for a large increase in
the net returns from the corn crop. The
slAiAusii Aoouei crop VI lIle CAlleu kotAlSS
would on this basis represent to the
farmer a valuation of something like
three-fourths of a billion dollars. Mis-
souri's fodder crop would under these
circumstances bring the feeder some
thing over s4o,OOo,O00 a year. All this
may be done without changing our sys-
tenn OF farming, except to grow more
clover, COW peas or alfalfa to combine
with our fodder, and reduce the area
now devoted to timothy. There would
also be further profit in this change.
since the clovers build up the soil, while
timothy impoverishes it. Under this
system vastly larger returns can be OBJ
tanned from the farms at the same time
that the land is improved.
