fall of last year, he started the creamery here. The venture was at the outset doubtful one from lack of raw ma terial, for at that time there was not, it is remarked, a dairy COW in the Valley. But he started, nevertheless, Monday, November 2, 1903, and made the first churning Saturday of the same week, all from one mans cream, that of k. II. Clark, of the Huston ranch, south of town. That first churning was thirty one pounds and now it has reached nearly ,5OO.
 The first churn was j0-gallon one, which with the growth of business, gave way about March of the present year to .ee prese' c:..e, twice as big.
 The growth of dairying interests in the Valley IS shown in the fact that there are now nearly thirty separators in the Valley, costing from $65 upward. Of these separatnrs the creamery has sup piled twenty-two, giving cheerfully of it's advice and experience for the assist ance of others. The largest separator m the Valley is thought to be that at Clarks, on the Huston ranch aforesaid, and the three largest dairy ranches are Clark's, Wilsic's and Terribilini's. the latter being near Wilse's.
 The local presiding genius of all this industry is Mr. J. o. Cooper, manager of the creamery since it's inception, who has been in the business now-man and boy-for twenty-one years, and to whose thorough knowledge and careful work is doubtless due the success Of the enter prise, the excellence of it's product and the high reputation it has attained. Under his guidance the creamery has stcered Imperial Valley into the wisest course it could have pursued, the utiliZ- Ing of it's great'st natural advantages, and a continuance in the same line will make it the Western Reserve of the Southwest-the most prosperous section of Southern California.

Above is picture of the machine that is the principal factor in lmperiaFs leading industry-thc big churn at Hage's Imperial Creamery. This is Il machine, AS heretofore stated in these columns, over twelve feet long and four in diameter, holding 500 gallons of cream and with capacity of l 300 pounds of butter at a churning
 It could turn out churnihg about every three hours; or as often as it could be scalded out after each opera ton; but as matter of fact the supply of cream in the Valley does not permit of any such product, and the actual out put is about 6OO'pounds a,day.
 This is of delicious quality. .a,Id the result is Imperial tables are supplied with n uniformly better quality of but ter than most places, even in the coun- try. The remark that applied to the countryman's butter doesn't fit here. Fetching his stock to the store to sell, he claimed it to be all his own make. The merchant eyed 1t suspiciousIy and remarked it looked exceedingly streaked to be all one mans make. "Stranger,, said the alleged butter maker, 'if you had seen my cows guess you wouldn't say that. They're durn signt streak edern the butter is. .
 Imperial butter is not streaked. It is al. one color, and all exceedingly good, so that at whatever table you eat you will eat of all your own-and steal your neighbors if you can.

Willard $. Wilkins of Chula Vista, in March, 1900, took up quarter sec tion of land in the Imperial region on the desert, and reclaimed the same by connecting with the Imperial Land company's canal and raising crops. He made his annual proof of expenditures and paid in full for his water stock prior to December, 1903. On Decembe l7, 1903, he entered into an agreement with Ezra McAllister to sell the land and water stock to the latter for f3,360 after he should have proved up and ob- tained title to the land and McA lister paid Wilkins $4S0 and gave him his note for s2, 800, payable in installments, and agreed to give Wilkins A mortgage to secure the note when Wilkins should obtain title from the government and make deed to McAllister
 Wilkins then went on and made his final proof; but this was rejected by the register and receiver on May 3, 1901, on the ground "that you are en- deavoring to perfect title to said land for the benefit of one Ezra McAlIister, to whom yon have agreed to sell the same"
 From this decision Wilkins appealed to the commissioner of the general land office through Judge George Fuller, his attorney, and decision has now been rendered by the commissioner re- versing the judgment of the register and receiver and allowing Wilkins to make final proof.
 The case is one to which great deal of interest attaches, as it is the first decision in favor of the entryman in a number of cases in which the facts are similar. Among other cases pending are those of two parties who, having reclaimed land, entered into agree ments with the Imperial Land comp pany to convey the land to the Company for the townsite of Imperial after they should have proved up. It is expected now that the decision in these cases, following the Wilkins case, will be favorable to the right of the entryman to prove up on the land.
 Following is the decision of the com missioner of the general land office: Department of the Interior, General
 Land Office, Washington, D. C., July
 30, 1904.
