How Fences Are Coming.

It is estimated that last year about p miles of woven wire fences were put up in Imperial valley, and that since January l at least 175 miles have been built. At the rate fence material is now being ordered, it is expected that 400 miles additional will be put up this year; making total of 575 miles of woven wire fence put up this year, or total of 600 miles in the valley. It is also estimated that there is 1000 miles of barbed wire fence now in the valley, making total of l200 now in the. val ley, where there was practically no fence 8 year ago. And yet the work Of fencing the 550,000 acres of land under the irrigation canals has been but well begun. To fence off the land now under canals into forty-acre fields will require about 12, ,OO0 miles of fences, or enough to reach half way round the earth.

ON TO YUMA.

A press dispatch to the Los Angeles Times from Imperial says: It is reported here today, though local railroad men refuse to confirm it, that an order has been issued to discontinue con- struction of the line from lm- perial to Calexico until a survey can be completed through to Yuma. Track is already laid to & point two miles north of Cal exico, from which point it is claimed the road will tend east ward to Yuma, avoiding Calex- ico. The change of plan is said to be due to the discovery that Gould has bought the El Paso Southwestern and San Diego Eastern roads and the Southern Pacific intends to rush the road from Yuma to San Diego via Imperial to head off rivals.

The April term of court, which closed last Saturday, was an exceptionally satisfactory session. For the first time in several years the criminal docket was entirely cleared, and con- sidering the mber of import ant civil cases on the docket, the proportion that went over was quite small. Judge Davis in his quiet gentlemanly way kept the judicial machinery grinding steadily, and won many concentrations for his fair rulings and clear interpret ation of law. The Judge has in creased his popularity in this district each time that he has held court here, this last being the third session since his trans fer to the First district. He has host of friends in Yuma who are always pleased to meet him either on or off the bench. Judge Davis, accompanied by Court Reporter Cooper, left for Tucson Sunday.
