To the Imperial Valley.
 Emerson's Glowing
Al the Harvest Feast Celebration in this City September

Mr. Chairman. Ladies, and Gentlemen
 This is indeed day of thanksgiving, n day of rejoicing. day of ratification.
 ThIs assembIage suggests sincerity and earncstness--I might say the high- est patriotism, because the most cx- alted sentiment of things temporal in the human heart is the love of home.
 Yon are here, as understand it, to ratifiy the adjustment of q problem which means more to the individual fireside and home of the good people of this Valley ot wondrou. prophetic possibilities than any other one question which could possibly claim our at tention.
 IL might be asked, why am interest ing myself to such au extent Tn this proposed adjustment. If any one should ask me this question, would answer by saying that while it Is true have no stock in the California De- vel"pmeut Company, and equally true tl,at have no land in the Imperial Valley. yet am business man, and have the same interest, by reason of my cnnmrction with the towns of this Valley. that any other business man has in his particular ayocation or calling.
 claim it my business to look after the things which concern myself and my family in financial way, and 1t Is every mans business, whether he Is sowing the seed in thls fertile land and harvesting his crops thcreirom, or run ming tl,e smallest pr the biggest mer- cantilr house in the Valley, that this question of all questions, has been set tlrd amicably, and along lines that will, we hope, insure public ownership of the Imperial canal system, and a settle ment forever and forever ot a question that has been rerplexing and aegravat- ing the people.
 I feel honorcd that you have invited ne to address you, because 1t means something to have an opportunity to. meet the rugged, brown-iaced men of the de-ert-a desert where the pitt less sun looks down from a parched sky, but where, thanks to a wise providence, the thirsty land IS slaked and quenched by the intervention of the hand of man.
 Personally, regard 1t as something highly complimentary to he permitted lo meet with this Spartan band, whose each individual name will probably be ,vcrally carved on the tablets of the future as "oue oi the first settlers"

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT

maniacs take the bun. The News says the council could not be trust ed with the handling of school funds and still it advocates territorial
 government, under which a legisla- tive body composed of the same tim
 Der as the councils are made up of, would have the handling of all the funds of the territory. If the schools need a safeguard against
 the councilmen elected by the peo- pie, how much more do the muni- cipalities need guarding against a legislature composed of the same class of men. If you think you stand show of holding an office under territorial government, and feel that you must advocate it, go ahead and tide your hobby to death, but do be consistent. Don't let the fact that you are a member of the school board cause you to make statements inconsistent with
 the principles of your main hobby.

In our last issue an error was made regarding the date of muni- cipal elections under the new law. It should be the first Tuesday in April instead of the third Tuesday in July. We are generally right, Bert, but don't take it for granted that we. always are, or you may step in trap again.

What grounds have the people of this section for bowling at the
 acts of congress during the last ses- sion? Have we not been pretty we'll treated? The survey for our wagon road is now under way, and there is every probability that after ths survey is completed money will De appropriated to build the road. We will have a cable from Seattle landing here this fall. We get 65 per cent of licenses collected out side of incorporated towns for con- structiOn of roads in the district. Larger appropriations have been
 made for geological surveys of the coal, oil and quartz districts along this coast. More lighthouses are being built. More money is being spent on military posts and in our town an $SOOO federal building is in course of construction. It is hard to find any excuse for the walls going up from the territorio- maniacs, unless it is that they are suffering from mental prostitution.

We would like to have the papers that are filling their columns with tiEades against the eight dollar poll tax law. tell us where they got their information that such a bill was passed by congress. A bill of this nature was introduced in Feb ruary by Burnham, but no one in this section has re eived a copy of the bill, nor is it mentioned in the index of the Congressional Record after that date.
 The Nelson bill apprepriating 65 per cent. of licenses for ccnstruc- tion of roads, and providing for an army board of road commissioners is the wagon road bill that passed, and our esteemed contemporary who publishes "news that is news.," will find that his scare-head article on $S poll tax for roads was with out foundation in fact.
 For the information of the NEWS we will state that local parties have been trying to get Col. Aber- erombie appointed on the board of road commissioners provided for by the Nelson bill, but their action was too late, as Q communication from the department at Washing ton states that the appointment had already been made.
 This fact together with the state nents of reputable papers in the states should convince anyone that tho Nelson bill is the one that pass ed, even though official notice has not been received, and that the editor of the sheet that publishes "news" must have drawn heavily on his imagination to make it ap- pear otherwise.
The Alaska prospector., 1904-06-16

We can hardly agree with the Alaska papers that consider the new municipal law such a poor measure. It is true that the chang ing of the school funds to the hands st tho council is not desirable move. but this is offset by the mum cipality being given control of the gambling and bawdy houses and ether local affairs of which it should have the handling. As long as the council is composed of level headed, conservative men, such as the pres- ent incsmhents are here, there need be no fear of their crippling the schools in any way. A major ity of the Valdez ,councis have ex- pressed themselves as being in fav- or of upholding the present high standing of the local school, even though the expenditures of the city have to be cut even lower than they are now to accomplish it.

Calientes, New, May GA very Sc
rous ARRAY occurred here yesterday
between Austrian and Italian laborers
on the railroad. In the morning when
work train pulled out 20 Austrians at
tackled Italians and beat them seriously
with picks and shovels, and the train
was returned to camp without any
work being done. The trouble arose
from religious discussion.
The Austrians were all Greek Catho-
lies. and were celebrating st. Georges
day by getting drunk. The Italians are
Roman Catholics and this started the
fight on arriving in camp the trouble
continued and man named Kane, an
ex-conyict from Salt Lake penltentiary,
later a resident of Panaca, got into the
discussion and Austrians beat him, In
a saloon, and shot him In the Jaw, in
nlcting painful but not fatal injury.
At D. IN. two Austrians started out,
looking for Kane, who was trying TO
borrow a gun, and the police officers
attempted 70 disarm them. The Aus
TRANS pulled knives and the officers
guns, and as the Austrians started to
run and refused TO stop when ordered,
the officers fired and shot one in the
back Of the neck, the bullet lodging In
Lake on the evening train to the hospi-
tai. His wound Is considered very dan
gerous, Sheriff Johnson and the dis
trict attorney came in today and ar
rested all participants, and fined Kane
