LOWER FREIGHT POSSIBLE

There is featu of the Pana- ma canal project which is apt to receive less notice than 1t de- serves. The Government, so soon as it completes the deal with Colombia, will acquire the Pana- ma railroad, which has heretofore been run i'll way to'create a vir- tual monopoly of the carrying 'rade between the Pacific Coast and ports on the Allan tic and Mexican gulf coasts. When the Government acquires the railroad its privileges will doubtless be open to all ship owners on equal terms. This may lead to lower freight rates, which the railroads will be obliged to meet.

FAREW ELL TO THE DROUGHT

A last the long period of dry years in Southern California is ended. This does not directly affect the Imperial Valley, where no one wants to see 1t rain, for no dependence is placed on the rain fall. But 1t does concern every other portion of Southern California. Stormy weather has prevailed last week and this week along 2 the coast, with the result that in most cases the total pre- ciEitation for the season is brought above that ofthe average normal rainfall preceding the series of dry years.
 Serni-drought is no new thing in California, though such peri ods come only in long series of years, with wet periods interven- ing, and the way things are work ing out we may not be surprised to find this season give some sec tions more water thrn they need.

AS the last form of the Press IS closed Saturday morning there was received a telegram stating that regular train service will be- gin on the Imperial line on Fri day, April 10th. It is stated that d new schedule will be put into effect on the entire Southern Pacific system Friday, ana that the Imperial train is provided for in that schedule. A passen ger car was dropped off at Old Beach Thursday evening, and for the time being 1t is understood that there will be two mixed trains day over the road, this having been considered preferable to having all exclusive passenger train and frei ght train.
 With the coming of train ser vice there can be no doubt that tine Imperial country will be wis lted by hundreds of people who have been awaiting better trans pOrtatiOn facilities.

Saw the Country

II. T. Richards, chief engineer of the projected San Diego and Eastern rail road, was in the valley for some days, returning home Thursday, though his mission had nothing to do with railroad matters. He went down into Lower California and saw the famous bore of the Colorado river, where the tide comes rushing up stream. He described the sight as suggestive of tidal wave and as making great roaring noise. He noted incidentally what the Southern Pacific surveyors had done, though his mission had nothing to do with railroa matters. Mir. Richards is good deal of a philanthropist, and he takes great in terest in the welfare of the COcopah h. dians, and in their interest he looked over a gCo od deal of ground they inhabit. 1t so happens that this is the same country the surveyors of the Southern Pacific railroad recently traVersed, but Mir, Richards visit had nothing to do with railroad matters. The growth of the Imperial settlement is of course of great interest to men connected with tie San Diego and Eastern railroad, and Mir. Richards looked the country over very carefully, making many inquiries regarding the growth of population, etc., and had 1t not been for the fact that his visit had nothing to do with railroad matters it might be presumed that the engineer was simply making general resume of conditions in the interest of the railroad.
 It may be worth while to state that this visit had nothing to do with railroad ma ttprS

SAN DIEGO CONGRATULATED

San Diego, according to the Union, has been receiving hearty congratulations from many sources on the promise of the building of the Panama Canal, it being taken for granted that the canal will be of great benefit to that city. There are two very plain propositions, it seems to the Press: First, that the entire Pacific coast will be benefitted; and second, that San Diego can, under one condition, receive more benefit than any other coast city. That condition is that 1t has i'm proved facilities for shipping goods to and from the interior. Without new railroad, the main benefit of the canal will go to San Pedro, which means Los An geleS. Until the future of the San Diego and Eastern road is determined congratulat tions eX- tended to San Diego svem rather premature. lmperia! has much to gain by the building of the
 
 projected railroad to San Diego, and it is hoped that city can fig ure out way to build 1t.

COMING OF BRAWLEY

Now the town site of BraWley is to be thrown on the market, and there is no doubt that a viz orous policy is to be followed by the ncW owner of the tract. That cannot be regretted by any per son, but ought to prove stlmu- Jus to the people of Imperial. There is room in the valley for good towns at BraWley, Silsbee, CaleXico, Paringa and Eastside, as we'll as at Imperial, and d lit tle rivalry will do us all good. It may result in stirring our blood little, and leading the peo. pie of Imperial to add to the at tractiveneSs of the town. If it does this, 1t will be good for the town.
 The people of the town of Inn  perial naturally and with good reason have perfect confidence in the leadership of this town for the present and for all time to come. The central location of the town, its very name and the start it has secured are ample, if the people are alive, to secure its future, but that does not mean that there is not room for a num- Der of other good towns in the valley, and Imperial can afford to be proud of the active and en- ergetic sister city to the north ward.

MAKING A NEW COUNTRY


 From all accounts, the work being done in the Imperial sec tion and that which is proj jected for other localities along the Col orado IS attracting greater atten- tion than any colonization move ment since the opening of Kansas to settlement. It is becoming widely known that along this great river is the possibility of creating region unequaled i'll America in productive power. Yet with all that is being said, the fact must be forced on the attention of the public that this land is absolutely worthless with out water. In Imperial valley water is being provided in abun- dance, and some other sections are getting water, but most of the country rests on a basis of Specula tion as to what the nation al government will do in the coming years. A press dispatch says:
 'If present indications hold true, one of the greatest ''land rushes" of modern date in the west will storm the United States land office at Los Angeles in June when the million acres of land re- gently restored by the govern ment to public domain, reaching from Mojave to the Colorado riv- CT, is thrown open to entry. The land office is receiving nearly 200 letters day, coming from every state in the union.
