deucc of the deep interest of the govern mcut In the future of this community.
 We declare that the national irriga- ton policy is the outcome of the great est constructive movement pf modern times and agree with President RUOse- welt when he says ''it Is not only one of the greatest steps in the progress of the United states, but of all mankind"
 We declare that the fertile delta of the Rio Colorado in the counties of San Diego and Riverside, California, offers the grandest opportunity to be found in the length and breadth of arid Amer ica for the building Of homes under the beneficent policy embodied in the act of June l1 l9J2, and that the govern ment k alone able to deal adequately with the situation.
 We came her, in response to the invi- tatlon of private enterprise. We in- vested our capital, our labor and the best years of our lives in the effort to reclaim this desert wilderness and to make 1t blossom with products of the soil, with schools, with churches and with homes. We have loyalty done our our part tO this end and faithfully Ob- served our contracts. Rut today, while the annual flood of the great river flows past to the gulf, many Of our fields are suffering for water, the returns of our labor are diminished or destroyed and our future k filled with apprehension.
 We have no unkind words to say of the private enterprise, which attempted q task now clearly seen to be beyond it's power of accomplishment We would have IL treated justly, but "with malice toward none and charity for all'' we ask the California Development com pauy to cooperate with the reclamation service in preparing the way for mag miticent public enterprise capable of making homes for a million men, who shall combine in one inalienable own erShip the four elements essential to human eXistence-land, water, sunshine and air.
 We are today the living embodiment of the presidents immortal declaration trat 'private ownership of water apart from land cannot prevail without caus- ing enduring wrong"
 And when monopoly of water IS pro tected by the possession of canals on foreign soil and thus entirely beyond the possibility of regulation by the pnb- lie authority to which We owe allegiance, such monopoly becomes intolerable and fraught with perils which we cannot permanently endure.
 We appeal tp the secretary of the in terior to exercise his ample authority to emancipate us, and our children after us, from "private ownership of water apart from land.
 We express our absolute unfaltering faith in the government at Washington and now declare that wherever Uncle sam shall lead there we will loyalty follow.

VOLCANO SPRINGS
Two Imperialites Make a Weeks
 Visit and Bring Great Reports

James IIeatley and G. B. Sisson have lately been on trip to Volcano Springs, B miles from Calexico and about 25 from the line. They report them very interesting and we'll worth d visit. They are benifcial to health, the mud baths curing rheumatism and blood impurities. The volcanic section is about miles square and the erupting cones only about ? to ! feet high. The mud is rich dark green, and hardens soon, a bottle immersed in 1t coming out coated as with cement. The Cocopah Indians know its virtues, aud resort tlither in cases of ailments for which it is good. \ combination of salt, sulphur and alum exists in large quantities in a cry stallized state, and can be readily picked up. as it forms in punches. Quail are plentiful, but the party found the water of the Hardy river too muddy to fish in. Mir. Sisson brought back samples of the mud. which is very pretty and also of the mineral crystals.

The greatest event m tlfe history nl Imperial Valley since the waters of the Colorado were first turned upon it's lands tx the movement tp make the dis tribution of those waters n matter of government ownership and control. To this frequent reference has been made tn these columns, and now it has arrived at the important and critical point of a personal inspection of the situation by the government officials.
 To this end there came Monday morn ing the following government officials and accompanying gentlemen:
 F. II. Newell, Chic: Engineer, Recla. nation Service
 Arthur F. Davis, Supervising Engi- nccr.
 J. E. Liprincott, Supervising Engi- neeI.
 E. NJ. Hall, Consultin. Engineer.
 Morris Bien, Legal Adviser for Rec lamation Service.
 Wm. F.. Smythc.
 B. A Fowler, President Salt River Valley Water Users Assn.
 Chas. W. Ebcrlcin, Land Agent Southern Pacific Railway Go.
 To the government officials at least, this was not their first visit, by long ways They were here in January. lD3, when they descended the Colorado in d small boat from away up river, to the heading of the Imperial canal, down the canal to Calcxco, and thence by team (for there was no Imperial and Gulf road then,) to old Beach, so they know the country already better than most of the settlers in it.
 The visitors were met by Imperial people as follows: Shirley C.. Ward, I. W. Gleason, Frank x. Chaplin, <. J. Ulrey, Thos Beach, R. D. McPherriu, Mr Perry, (of Calcxico,) F. G. lIavrns and w. r. Holt, and in five teams, fur nishcd by Messrs. Ulrey, Chaplin Bros, Beach. Perry and Me Pherrin, driven about the country.
 They went west across the main canal, HOulll Np " llSIt plaNti "NSN Np h I''IhN north of Blue Lake, and south to the lake, where they rested and lunched, admring the beauties of the lake. Thence, on the homeward route east to the Date canal and scattering homeward according to the fancy of the drivers
 The visitors expressed appreciation of the wealth and fertility of the vallcy,as indicated by the crops where there was enough water, and they realized from the looks of other crops that many were suffering for want of water. They re marked that it must be galling to farm ! efs to be doing without sufficient water ! while 70 much was running tO waste in . the Colorado river. They appreciated . the magnitude and importance of the . situation and indicated personality 1 though of course not oflically-that they . were willing to do all in their power to . relieve it.
 The urgent necessity of an adequate . water supply was apparent. All were

 MT. Snythc then introduced
 MIR. DAVIS
 as the author of the best of the Isth- milan canal work and also of the Colo rado river irrigation exploitation. Mir. Davis modesty disclaimcd 70 much credit, and sad the latter work at least was that of Mir. Lipplnc"tt. He stated the very interesting fact that the Inn perial Valley was the largest arid tract in America that could be irrigated The only obstacle is the troublesome and unfortunate location of the inter national boundary line Extensive irrigation work has become too large for private enterprise, and must hence forth be prosecuted by the power and the purse of Uncle Sani-a sentiment that elicited tremendous applause He referred particularly to the provisions of the Reclamation Act and apprehen- dcd they would be strictly enforced That act k ample and no further egis- latInn is needed
 Mir. Smythe said this was the biggest irrigation project involving the welfare of the greatest number of people. Would Uncle sam turn his back on it? No! (applause.)
 D. \. Hall was called for, but modestly declined to come forward, and Mir
 MORRIS BEN
 was called for to present the legal prob lems of the situation. He said the big gest problem was the international com plicatiou, but trusted the Water Users Association would solve that
 T. A. FOWLER
 of Phoenix proved witty speaker, and being introduced as the biggest man" in irrigation said he was sorry his wife was not here that she might know how big man she had married
 He recounted the many difficulties his company had encountered, and thought Imperial had gained years time by their experience.
 K. II. INGRAM Superintendent $. r. Co. Los Angeles division was next called for and thought he was on the wrong side of the plat form-he ought to be in the audience. He said his company was in sympathy and hearty accord wi.h the people in every movement for their good. Their interests were in common and the S. r. would use every effort to promote the welfare oi the people it had the honor to serve.
 Mir. Smythe acknowledged the receipt of a check from the locol committee and said his expenses only were horne by the Water Users. His services were free He then presented the following resou- tions which were enthusiastically adopt ed, and with the singing of America, led by D. k. Chaplin, closed the most meeting Imperial has ever had, with three rousing cheers for the Reclamation Bureau and three for Mir Smythe:

 Tuesday morning the meeting wa planned for, but Supt. Ingram of tn, S.

 At the Calexico Hotel, kept by Dool X Rockwood, the party enjoyed the hos pitality of k. D. Mcpherrin Esq. al dinner, and appreciated not only tn, generosity of their host, but the excel lence of the services.
 THE MEETING.
 At 2'30, or rather long before, the big tent was crowded, and |. <. C"mmis. sioncr Ravens called the meeting to order Hon. Wm. F.. Smythe was made chairman, and he introduced
 MIR. NEWELL.
 Mir. Newell read the law under which the C"mmissiuncrs came, and invited information. The water, he said, was the pi operty of it's appropriators and users, emphasizing the latter words. Appropriation al"ne would not suffice. He compimented Mir. Holt, Chairman of the Water Users Association, on his ability and fairness, and urged all to stand bv and work with him and his col leagues. He spoke of the unfortunate and troublesome location of the inter- national boundary line, and called at tention tp the fact thatthe United States cannot buy property outside its own territory. Hoped the water users might be able to handle the international sit uation, in which case the government may be able to afford relief.
 Mir. Smythe then said MT. Heber, President of the C. D. Company. had of the reclamation service, and particularly of one man in it, That man he now proposed to introduce as the engineer under whom the Yuma work was to be done, and he would tell the audience about it.

Jim" Sullivan tells of friend a
sufferer from Rheumatism, who, hear
ing during the early part OF the win
ter that red flannel worn next to the
body was a remedy for that com
plant, purchased several undershirts
made of that material. The clerk as
sured him that the goods were guar
anteed in every particular.
About two weeks afterward Mr.
Sullivan's friend revisited the shop
where he had bought the red flannel
shirts and registered a bic kick
against the perpetuation against him
of what he termed "a fearful
swindle."
What's the matter?" asked the
proprietor Have the shirts faded
or shrunk?"
Faded! Shrunk!" howled the man.

SPEED OF TORPEDO BOATS.
Depth of Water Has Great Effect

Depth OF Water Has Great Erect
Upon Power Needed In Operation.
The recent tests of torpedo boats in
the Bay of Dantzig, Germany, have re-
suited in the entertainment of some
facts regarding their navigation not
hitherto known. The particular object
of these experiments was to ascertain
the influence of the depth Of the
water on the speed of the boat 1t is
stated that up to speed of twelve
knots an appreciable influence was
observed, but from fifteen to twenty
knots the unfavorable character of
the influence increased in proportion
to the diminution of depth. In shall
low water-about two fathoms deep
twice as much power was required of
the engines to get the speed easily
obtainable in deep water.
With an increase Of speed, the
strange fact was remarked that condi-
tions unfayorable to the boats way
were no longer apparent in two faith
oms, but rather at depth of four or
five, and better results were obtained
in shallow water than in twenty faith
oms1 In consequence of these obser-
vations the government naval archi-
tect, Herr Paulus, at recent confer
ence of marine engineers, proposed to
petition the admiralty to allow Of
the experiments being repeated with
considerably larger warshirs.

tight-fitting, yellow-and-red striped

small white dots, black and white tur-

No Quiet Dozes Permitted at Early
Church Services.

NO Quiet DoZes Permitted at Early
Church Services.
There are many odd, old-fashioned
church customs that nowadays would
provoke q smile. In bygone days, for
instance, when sermons were long and
very often dull, the congregation was
apt to become somnolescent, and so 1t
became necessary to take steps 10
remedy matters. To this end men,
and sometimes women, were employed
as "sluggard walkers" that Is, to rouse
those who might be overcome by their
rrroundings; and occasionally parish
ners would bequeath sums Of money
r the payment Of such officials. In
an interesting book called "Old Church
Life" mention is made of one of these
sluggard walkers, who is said to have
carried a long, stout wand, with
fork at. the end of 1t. At intervals he
stepped stealthily up and down the
nave and aisles Of the church, and
whenever he saw an individual whose
senses were buried in oblivion he
touched him with his wand so effectu-
ally that the spell was broken and in
an instant the offender was recalled
to all the realities of life. In another
church the beadle employed on the
mission used long staff having a
fox's brush at one end and knob at
the other. Should lady fall asleep
her face was tlckled with the brush,
but an unlucky man was reused by
sharp rap with the knob.
