CITY OF IMPERIAL

The next issue of the Press will carry the news that Imperial is an incorpor- ated city. The city will be one in fact as we'll as in name, if it can be judged by the business transacted here. More than ever before, Imperial is the com mercial center of the valley, and each day witnesses progress in establishing the town on finer foundation.
 The time has been when larger per centage of the people of the town itself felt some doubts as to the future of the place, but those doubts have been grad ually dissipating, and now one never hears aught but expressions of entire confidence in the supremacy of Imper- ial.
 It has been with much difficulty that work of public nature has been con- ducted as long as it was necessary to de- pend solely on voluntary contributions, and now that we are getting into posi- tion where we will be able to conduct our public work on basis of all pro- perty holders bearing their due portion of public burdens, we ought to make greater progress than heretofore.
 The future of the city of Imperial is bright with promise, particularly if the citizens relize that they must build up healthy political organism, with care alike for industry, morals and health.

BOOM THE DIARIES

It is now evident that the dairy in- dustry will be one of the grea,est sources of revenue in Imperial. The first pound of home made creamery but ter marketed in the valley was made in November. Within five months from that beginning fully 1000 COWS will be contributing milk to the creameries of Imperial, and for that product there will be paid to the owners of the cattle fully $80O0 month. This money will come as steady stream into general circulation, and while it will not be a great source of revenue, for an industry less than half year old it will make a splendid showing and points toward a revenue in the near future which should add greatly to the resources of the valley.
 And, incidentally, this points to greater advancement in values of realty than would be possible with some in- dustries. The grain grower figures on narrow margins of profit on wide tracts of land. The beef cattle raiser requires a somewhat less acreage. But the dairyman with from twenty to forty acres has good revenue and the man with hundred acres With correspond.

FOR NEW STATES

The entire West is concerned in the project for bringing New Mexico and Arizona into the Union as single state, in opposition to the wishes of both terri tories, but this is of particular interest simply scheme of Eastern politicians for perpetually keeping down the repre- sentation of the West in the Senate, that political power may remain cen tralized in the East. As an unjust pro- ject to be wrought out in opposition to the will of the people most concerned, it ought to receive the strenuous opposi- tion of the united West.
 We may honorably disagree as to the propriety of admitting the territories to the Union at the present time, but a project for forcing two territories into the Union as single State cannot hon. orably be worked out.
 The Press believes Arizona is fitted for statehood. It is not so certain of New Mexico, where the iliterate Mexi- can vote is much heavier. If Arizona could gain Statehood, New Mexico could wait, and no lasting detriment would follow.

already satisfied, and they immediately issued call for an election to be held March 3. This was fully month earlier than any one here expected the election to be held.
 The law requiring registration to close forty days before election was overlooked and the Chamber of Commerce was con- tinuously urging registrations, so late as February 15 instructing the secretary to make canvass of the voters and urge them to register.
 Meanwhile conspiracy was matched to import men from all parts of the val ley to stuff the ballot box and force the license of liquor selling on the town. Then came the discovery of the forty day law, and the conspiracy was nulli- fled.
 Now the men who were planning to debauch the town are bowling about the unfairness of the election We have had school elections and many of the best citizens took the trouble to register and vote at those elections, but naturally these were not of the class of men who formed the conspiracy. The result is that of the citizens having the welfare of the town at heart there is larger percentage registered than of the class who are seeking to debauch the town.
 If in this election, then, there is an element of unfairness, it is a matter of accident But if this is unfair, by what name should we call the conspiracy to import to the town a gang of men who never had home here, who never ex- pect to have home here, and who have no interest whatever in the welfare of the town?
 The fact is that, barring few good citizens who ought to have right to vote, the accident which has precipi- tated the election has tended to center power in the hands of the true citizens of the town and to bar from voting a class who have no moral right to vote.

WHAT IS FAIRNESS?

The law of California specifies that no one shall vote whose name is not on the great register forty days preceding the election.
 The Imperial Valley Chamber of Commerce was no sooner organized than it set about the work of incorpor- ating the town. A petition was signed by fifty-three citizens asking the super visors to call an election. The supervis- ors had sixty days in which to satisfy themselves that the town was ready for incorporation. It was expected that they would take month, but they were

Resurvey of Imperial Lands Will Not
 Change Ownership

 San Diego Union: Some time since Sheriff Brodnax wrote to Congressman Daniels, asking him to find out for him the status and rights of certain settlers under certain conditions. Yesterday he received reply which MT. Daniels said he had delayed sending until he could get the decision of the department on the subject. This decision is in favor of the settler and the congressman suggests tbat it be published in full It is as fol- lows:
 To the Honorable Secretary of the In-
 teriOr-
 Sir r:-I have the honor to acknowledge receipt, by your reference, for report, in duplicate and return of papers, of letter from Hon. M. J. Daniels, house of representatives, requesting information desired by correspondent of his whose inquiry is as follows:
 Under the act of July 1st, 1902, re- survey has been made of the Imperial valley, in this county, and as such resur- vey shows that settlers who have made entry in accordance with certain surveys and maps compiled for the Im- perial Land company are on school sec tions, would consider it great favorif you would find out for me from the in terior department whether or not such settler will be divested of his rights.
 The act of July l, 1902 (32 Stat, 72S) authorizes the resurvey of certain town ships in San Diego county, California, therein enumerated, with proviso.
 That nothing herein contained shall be so construed as to impair the present bona fide claim of any actual occupant of any of said lands to the land so occu- lied.
 Under said act the exterior boundar- les of the townships have been surveyed, but no contract has yet been let for the survey of the subdivisions of said town ships.
 The act of August 9, 1894 (2S Stat, 275), for the resuryey of Grant and Hooker counties, Nebraska, has the same proviso as to bona fide claims as the act for the survey of the San Diego county lands. In construing that act this office held that the resurvey could in no manner defeat or impair vested interest, nor was it intended by con gress that an inchoate interest should be affected where such interest amounted to actual occupancy of the land for the purpose of perfecting bona fide claim; that it was such unper- fected claims that the proviso referred to. This ruling was quoted with de- partmental approval in the case of Elm fly w. Thurston (2S L. D., 264), and en- tries shown by the resurvey to include portions of section 36 were allowed to stand and be perfected.
 Under this ruling, based on the pro- viso to the act, am of opinion that set tiers or claimants who having made en- try of lands not shown by the present survey to be school lands, would be pro- tpctad in thair cloip, # uOOr

IN the course of conversation at Holt vile, Tuesday, MT. Parkyns, assistant general passenger and ticket agent ot the Southern Pacific Company, said that when he came to Imperial Valley two years ago he made report to his company in favor of building the Im- perial railroad. "I was then," he added, Every enthusiastic over this val ley. l have been here several times since, and 1 am now ten times as en- thusiastic as 1 was two years ago." It is one of the favorable conditions that everybody grows in confidence as they gain in familiarity with the valley.

CAREFUL inquiry has recently been made by Thomas Beach, Superintendent of Imperial Water Company No. l, into the extent of crops now actually growing in his district. He finds that there are Al ,O7O acres of grain and alfalfa. Re- turns from the other water companies indicate that tbe actual growing acreage is about 5000, while the standing corn stubble is estimated at 16,OOO acres. making total crop acreage in the val ley of 75,0OO. As much gram will be put in during March, it is believed that the close of the grain sowing season will witness total acreage of 9O,OOO. The estimate made by the Press at the be-
 ginning of the season was 100, ,OOO acres. which would have been exceeded if it

TROUBLE ON SPEEDWAY.
Dredging Potomac May Cause Serious
Inconvenience to Drivers.


There is trouble ahead for the projectors
OF the speedway along the river front west
from 18th street. This is due to the fact
that the contractor engaged in dredging
the Virginia channel of the Potomac is
about to begin operations in the river
opposite that section of the city. These
operations involve the deposit Of all the
dredged material on the reclaimed area
occupied in part by the new speedway,
with view to raising it to the required
grade. As now laid out the speedway Is
much below grade. at some points as much
as six or seven feet, and unless dykes or
retaining walls are built along both sides
of the road. the liquid mud dredged from
the bed of the river and emptied over the
reclaimed area through the pipes will
naturally flow into the new road as the
lowest part Of the territory. The filling
in of this reclaimed area Is part Of the
original project for the reclamation of
the old flats of the Potomac, and the de-
river Is in accordance with the contract
for that work.
The members of the Road Drivers and
Riders Association. under whose aus
pieces the speedway was constructed
through private subscription are natural
ly very much alarmed over the situa-
ton. and are in conference with Colonel
Miller, the engineer officer in charge of the
improvement of the Potomac, with view
the speedway can be saved or the pro-
posed deposit of dredging material in its
vicinity deferred to a more opportune
time.
