day evening, Feb. 10. A little bird has whispered to the writer that this happy event is the climax to an at tachment commenced on an editorial trip to the Yosemite last summer. All joy and happiness we wish these worthy friends and may they live long to enjoy with the writer many such trips as the one taken last sum mer by the editors of Southern Cali fornia, their wives and sweethearts amid the most beautiful scenery in all the world, "The Yosemite"
 The Los Angeles Herald in which paper MT. Holt held the position of Superintendent of Circulation for a couple of years, prior to his connec- tion to the Imperial Land Company, thus speaks of the event in which MT. Holt's friends took deep interest:
 A pretty home wedding took place last night at 615 Avenue SiXty-siX, the home of G. w. Wilson, when Mrs. Mary B. Proud was married to Luther M. Holt, former editor of the River side Press and Agriculturist, and now connected with the Imperial Com pany. The music rOom in which the ceremony took place, was decorated with ferns, flowers and potted plants, and electric lights were placed about the room. About seventy-five guests were present. Rev. c. c. Pierce was the officiating clergyman. Both bride and groom are members of the Sec ond Christian Science church of Los Angeles. Mrs. Proud is the first reader in the Garvanza Christian Science church.
 MT. Holt is one of the best known writers in California on horticultural and irrigation topics. His work in this direction is widely read and copied.

PROUD---HOLT.
Kind Words From Old Friends.

l.. M. Holt, pioneer, promoter and journalist, was on Tuesday united in marriage to Mrs. Mary B. Proud, youngest daughter of the late John w. Butterfield of Niles, Mich, at the residence of George w. Wilson, at Garvanza. The marriage ceremony was conducted by Rev. c. C. Pierce of the Baptist Church, and was wit messed by many prominent people of this city and other sections of South ern California.
 MT. Holt came to Southern Califor- nia in the early 70's. He knows west ern journalism like a book and has been identified with number of prominent papers. He was one of the first to recognize the merits of the Imperial country. He is a recognized authority on irrigation and his utter ances on all public matters carry con siderable weight always.
 "The fourth estate" extends big bunch of good wishes to MT. and Mrs Holt. They will reside in this city.

Mr. Holt is advertising manager of the Imperial Land Company and Mrs. Proud was first reader of the Christian Science Church of Garvanza.
 From the society columns of the Los Angeles Times we clip the fol lowing account of the wedding:
 'In the presence of seventy-fve guests, Mrs. Mary B. Proud and Luther M. Holt were married by Rev. c. c. Pierce, pastor of the Memorial Baptist Church, Tuesday evening at S:30 at the home of George w. Wilson No. 615 Avenue 66. The rooms were prettily decorated in green and white, and the recess to be occupied by the bridal party during the ceremony was set apart with ropes of smilax. Potted plants and many electric lights were used in the decorative effects. The

bride was gowned in soft gray crepe de chine, and was attended by the Misses Rose Edmonds and Stella Me Clintock, who wore white. The groom was attended by Messrs. Harry R. Otto and Vernon Cooper. The Bridal Chorus" from "Lohengrin" was played by Miss Nell Rice. Little Miss Laura Wilson and Master Donald Messer preceded the wedding party into the room, cutting away the ropes of smi- lax as the bride and groom appeared. The Episcopal marriage service was used. After the ceremony refresh ments were served in the large dining room, overlooking the Arroyo SecO and during the evening a fine musical programme was rendered. MT. and Mrs. Holt went to their new home, No. 1049 West Twenty-frst street
 Warren Wilson of the Los Angeles Daily Journal thus notices the recent wedding of the editor of the Imperial Press-L. M. Holt-who has charge of that portion of the Press printed in Los Angeles. MT. Wilson is an old time newspaper man, but about twenty years ago he worked at the case" in the Riverside Press office, when MT. Holt was the publisher and editor of that paper. The Journal says:

SpeCuIatinO With Uncle Sam'S Farm
 ina Land.

The government engineers who have in charge the execution of the Ma tional Irrigation Law are not little perturbed over the discovery that the land tributary to the various irriga- tion projects which they have been surveying since the passage of the act has been largely filed upon by private parties in anticipation of gov ernment construction.
 Not only this but the absorption of these best lands is constantly going on by speculaeorS and land stealers.
 If the lands were being entered by bona fide settlers and prospective home-seekers who simply wanted to be on the land when the irrigation works are constructed, there would be no harm, as actual settlement is what is desired, but most of the en- tries are known to be fraudulent, made by dummies" who immediately transfer title to big speculative and stock interests. This is shown by the fact that in many sections where large areas have been entered, there is absolutely no increase in the popu- lation.
 There is a constantly growing senti- ment in favor of the repeal of the land laws under which such abuses are possible, and if the people of the country thoroughly understood what perjury, fraud and stealing is being enacted, Congress would suddenly find the repeal of these laws the burning question of the hour. This is not in any sense the cry of alarmists 1t is facts, shown by the records of the government and by the personal of ficial investigations of the irrigation engineers.-Pomona Review.
