LIKES CALIFORNIA
Emmett McCOlIum Is Pleased
with Imperial Country
Imperial, Cal. Nav %, 1908

Imperial, Cal, May %, 1903.
Editor HERALD ADVANCED:
Dear Sir-I would like to write YOU
ashort account of the Imperial country
as | have seen it. We arrived here
last Friday and was surprised to see
the wonderful development of the
country, and which has been all made
in such short time. was surprised
to see whole quarter sections of wheat
and barley growing rank and green.
L walked out in several pieces that
came up to my chest and picked off
heads that were as long as a new lead
pencil and had from 65 to Is kernels
in head. All that was put in in
time was splendid, but there is
great lot OF poor grain because they
could not get seed in time to put it in.
| never saw grain stool out as it does
here at Imperial. l was talking with
man and | asked him how much
seed he put on an acre, and he said
he put on ten pounds and he had as
heavy crop as | would wish to raise.
In regard to trees there is no trouble
at all; cottonwood will grow twelve
to fourteen feet in year, five to six
inches thick. Mr.. Gleason, the land
agent, went in field and kicked ,off
WV
thick and it was six inches thick where
it broke off and over two feet long.
There is not much gardening done
here; the people seem to leave that
until they get everything else done.
| want to say that growing here is the
finest alfalfa [ ever saw. In building
material all lumber is high, but man
can build cheaply here, as he can hire
the Mexican or Indian to make what
is called dOba brick, which makes
the very best kind of house. You
can get them made and put in the
wall, the Mexican furnishing every-
thing, for 1913 thousand; the brick
are from twelve to fourteen inches
long and three to four inches thick
and eight to ten inches wide so you
see 1t does not take a great many to
make wall. Some people think that
land agents stretch the truth, but I
don't think that Mr.. Cline stretches
it about this country; in fact | think
that here is the greatest opportunity
to make stake that there is any
where. There is plenty of water for
irrigation and there are lots of fish in
the big bitches. | am going to Los
Angles in day or two to close up
deal for 320 acres of as fine land as
ever wish to see. l have had two
chances to sell it since | barg aimed
for it, so you see land is in demand
here. | think land will be worth $50
an acre here before this this time next
year.

the Decian prosecutions, it is said, fed
to a certain cavern for refuge. They
were pursued, discovered and walled
in the cave, the perpetrators Of the

horrible death. However, according to
the legend, they were made to fall
asleep and were miraculously kept
alive for nearly two centuries. Their
names are given as Maximian, NAL
