Cured of Chronic Diarrhoea After Ten
 Years Of Suffering.

''I wish to say few words in praise of Chamberlain's Collie ~ Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy" says Mrs. Matte Burge, of Martinsville, Va. "l suffered from chronic diarrhoea for ten years and during that time tried various medicines without obtaining any per manent relief. Last summer one of my children was taken with cholera nor bus, and l procured bottle of this remedy. Only two doses were required to give her entire relief. then decided to try the medicine myself, and did not use all of one bottle before was well and have never since been troubled with that complaint. One cannot say too much in favor of that wonderful medicine.

The PRESS is informed that President Heber will ask the people here, at the meeting Monday, to endorse an applica- ton to the government for five million dollars in compensation for its proper ty. This is unfortunate if true, for the people will not do 30, and couldn't back 1t up fl they would. Their authorized agents, the negotiating committee. have already offered all they were empower ed to, and all the Reclamation Bureau would approve. Neither the people nor their agents can go beyond the govern ments allowance.

A ..NEW COUNTY" CLUB.

one of the necessities of Imperial's future is a new county. We are too far from the county sea; for convenient and efficient business with it. IL takes too much time and costs too much 10 go there to refer to it all the matters that ought to be submitted to the county seat For this reason matters are left undone, many a legal wrong unrighted because it is cheaper to submit to the evil than pay the expense of correction. In one suit brought, the Sheriff's mil cage alone was equal to the entire amount in controversy Of course IL will be better with a railroad direct to San Diego, but while that will help us out commercially it will still leave the county seat about l25 miles away, Git is now over 300 by rail,l and the poor litigant will still find himself barred by the expense of the remedy. As time goes on and the number of people and business interests increase this incon- venience will be more frequently and more severely felt. Let us, then, look oat for the future and prepare in ad- vance for a remedy. The securing of a new county will certainly take consider able work snd must be gone at system atically. A good step toward 1t would be "new county" club that would consider the matter in all it's bearings, gather information and take such small preliminary steps as may well be taken in advance. Some steps ought to be made in the next session of the legisla- ture, even though division be not actu- ally accomplished till the one following. The matter of expense of the proposed new county need not be an obstacle. We contributed this year sl2OOO taxes to the old county, and this on personal property and polls alone, and without this giving the benefit of a convenient and effective county government. The disparity of contribution and service will be still more glariDgly apparent when our lands are patented and taxes on realty thus added to the sum total, with increased business interests to sui. fer by the remoteness of the service.

Ir1PERlAl. VALLEY FARMING.

Imperial farming means considerably more than the farmer oi the east ever dreamed ot. There he puts iu his crop in the spring, tends it all summer aud gathers it tn the fall. The winter IS spent iu doing chores and keeping warm. Here the farmer puts in crop oi barley or wheat tn the fall and gathers it in the spring. For diversion during the summer plants crop ot corn on the same ground and either pastures it at a g,scd profit or harvcSts it in the fall just before the time for fall sowing of small grain again.
 That two crops year are possible, has been demonstrated in several in- stances in the valley during the past year. One case tn point; a ldO-acre tract was planted to corn in the spring of laoS and the crop sold standing in the field for tlSO0. giving the farmer tll.25 an acrc for his seed and labor. As coon As the ground was cleared in the fall, the borders were fxed up, and the land thoroughly disced aud sowed io barley. The second crop has been harvested and marketed. The barley averaged fourteen sacks to the acre, and was sold, delivered at the warehouse, for 95 cents sack, bringing SIPS, or SIS. go an acre. After the harvesting, threshing and hauling bills are paid, this farmer will have quite a considera- ble sum left To his credit. But with all this, he tells us that water was little short at times and claims that he sui fered considerable damage-perhaps about 5000 or tl5O0.
 This gives the reader an idea what Imperial soil and Colorado river wateI will do for the industrious farmer. All over the valley one can see prosperous farms, and by. next year innumerable acres of alfalfa will be seen, as very large acreage has already been sown. This crop can be cut from five to seven times year.
 The yield of wheat in the valley this season is placed st l5,000 sacks, of bar ley 50 ,OOO, and hay 2O,OO0 tons, valued at s225 900. Including feeds, melons and vegetables, live stock, etc, the total value of products Is estimated at over $5O0,0O0.

has brought us face TO face with the
danger Of having the city wiped out at
any time. 1t is not possible at this
time for the city TO put in water sys-

Of the city charter, yet arrangements
can be made for temporary fire protec-

furnishing water for domestic purposes
will present q proposition at the next
meeting Of the council, 1t is understood,
for fire protection. The proposition
should be accepted il at all reasonable.

done. Water can be be secured either
from Joseph Wilson's reservoir or G. r.

steps ought to be taken at once to af-
ford permanent or temporary rele I.

The Chicago Fruit and Produce News
expresses the apple situationin the East
rs follows:
There Is but one way TO look at the
present apple situation and that Is just
as 1t Is. New York State alone can
supply the entire country with apples
when che has good crop, and there is
every reason to believe the crop will
equal that OF 1896.
The apples are on the trees. There
they are worth nothing to the growers
and the experience OF the past two
years shows that they we're worth less
than nothing to the buyers. At a price
the apples can be handled and the
growers might as well, right now, make
up their minds that they must take less
than dollar barrel for the fruit and
II will do some good. II held above that,
the growers will be forced to repeat their
experience OF 1895, and sell the apples,
after losing the shrinkage, for about SO
cents a barrel. The best way Is to sell
the fruit in the orchards at a price at
buyers can take IL and give the apple
consumers chance to get good fruit at u
low price,

feet to the west of that. These streets
donated by the Development Co. will
make possible an easy access to the side
tracks. At the south side of the rail
road right of way, there is to be an in
dustrial track. The main track will be
moved further north, and between this
and the industrial siding there will be
placed team track, with a3l-foot road
way between the two. The industrial
track will extend from the mill east
along by the fruit warehouses.
The team track, so an official of the
company says, will have room for II
cars, and the industrial track about the
same.
The announcement of these improve
ments has long been awaited, and it
comes as a glad piece of news to the
people o; Hood River, who have pa
iientlv put up with many inconven-
fences.

REV. HERSHNER
HAS RESIGNED

Rev. j. l.. Hershner, for 10 years pas
tor OF the Riverside Congregational
church OF this city, has rendered his
resignation to the board OF trustees,
and last Sunday morning preached his
farewell sermon.
During his 10 years residence in
Hood River, Mr.. Hershner has always
been well liked by the people OF the
community, whether or not they were
members OF his congregation, and there
have been many expressions OF regret
at the resignation OF the pastor.
When Mr.. Hershner came here, in
September, 1894, there were then II
resident members OF the Congregational
church Of this city. But three OF these
IL persons are now members of the
Hood River church. They are Captain
and Mrs. ]. II. Dukes and George p.
Crowel.
The total accessions to the church du-
ring MIR, Hershner's pastorate here have
been l45, OF which number 81 we're re-
ceived within the last year. Mr. Hersh-
ner says he has, during the 10 years he
has been here, ofiiciated at n mar
riages and has conducted SS funerals.
During this time, the congregation OF
his church erected parsonage at cost
OF SllO0, paid off church debt of S425,
and made improvements to the church
property amounting In all to $1,000.
The church bell was purchased at a
cost of $3.50. Pews were put IN at cost
of 5000. A furnace was put In costing
tl25. Church and parsonage were re-
painted and redeeorated at a cost Of
$3.50.
During the past year Mr.. Hershner
organized church at Pine Grove Of q
members.
Rev. ]. L. Hershner has received a
call TO the Douglas Island Congrega-
tional church at a salary OF 1920 per
annum. This is the third time Mr..
Hershner has been called to Congrega.

Salmon. Superintendent q. 4. Clapp
has offered him any vacancy in any

Mr.. Hershner has declined oil these
calls and invitations.
Upon invitation OF the board OF trus-
tees, Mr.. Hershner will supply the pull
pit next Sunday morning.

is reliably reported, which caused this

many inquiries concerning the Hood
River apples. Some fall apples are be-
ginning to move, but it is not known yet
just what returns may be expected on
this fruit. A deal for the sale of the
winter apples is expected to be closed
