To the Editor of the Dispatch.

To the Editor of the Dispatch.
Christmas is over and ever, body
is looking forth for a happy New
Year. Let us ell see if We can't
prosper very much in the New
Year, beginning at the first and see
if We cannot carry it out.
You will soon hear the farmers
talking about turning the soil for the
crops.
Mr.. Editor, how is this that the
people of this country are getting
married right at Christmas
Mr.. Sidney McCartha spent a
merry Xmas at Mr.. G. W Williams'',
I think from the tone of bis voice be
will go soon again.
Mr.. R P. Slice spent Christmas
with his uncle, Mr.. J. J. Schwartz,
at this place. I think the way
Robert started, be will soon come
again.
There were many beautiful enter
tainments in our town during
Christmas and I think the young
people enjoyed themselves very
much.
Boys, it would be best for you not
to to smoke too fine cigars while out
hunting, you might get strangled.
Best wishes to our paper and its
readers. W. NJ. s.

and selling them to outsiders. These bonds would provide for a sinking fund and be gradually retired. Meanwhile the people tributary to the railroad would be obliged to ''pay all the traffic would bear, and thus themselves pay for the bonds out of extortionate rates, the profits going to outsiders.
 Second-Build a road by the people themselves. The present plan was to issue $5 ,000, 900 of bonds in sums vary ing from $50 to 1000, payable in ten years, with interest at five per cent. Everyone who purchases bonds of this railroad will be given 50 per cent of it's par value in stock, and the bonds are good for 25 per cent over their face value in freight or passenger service over the road. That is, the Holder can, upon sending freight or going as passenger on the road, use up hs bonds in that way instead of paving cash, to the ex- tent of p per cent of the charges or ticket fare each time.
 The original plan had been to issue 30 per cent of stock fot promotion purposes and 50 per cent to the bond holders, but after conferences with the railroad com mittees it was decided the safety of the bond holders demanded that 50 per cent of the sum go to them and 40 per cent for promotion purposes. MT. Elliott then explained what would be done with tue stock for promotion, saving it would be in the hands of the various railroad

Several years ago $50,000 had been subscribed for the San Diego X Eastern k K. and placed in the hands of a railroad committee appointed by the Chamber of Commerce, for acquiring franchise, securing rights of way, and making estimates on the probable cost and profit tn be realized from the road.
 Senator Clark being approached, con sidrred t.:c plan favorably and agreed to furnish the money for building the road. When the time came that the muney was wanted, he was building the Salt Lake road, and WAS notified by representatives of the Southern Pacific nud santa Fe that If he interfered with their business in Southern California, the traffic arrangement with those roads would be abrogated. As millions of his money was tied up in the Salt Lake, he could not afforl to antagoniZe them.
 Ii became evident that the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe had an agree ui"nt not to interfere with each others business, and th3 only way to secure a railroad outlet for San Diego was for the people of the county to build 1t themselves With this in view, Folsom
 Bros Co. had eudravored to obtain access to the information gathered by the San Diego S Eactern R. k. com mittce, but tn their amaZement had ben met by difficulties almost nsur- mountablr, and only by much effort have they been able to secure the

 WASHINGTON.
Emerson's Imperial Mission En-
 courages Him.
Says President and Secretary sf ln- terior Are impressed Great Rush
 to Imperial Valley Predicted.

Willis George Emerson has just re- turned from hls mission to Washington, where he represented the people of the Imperial Valley, through the officers of the Water Users' Association, in pre- senting petition from those people to the President, asking that he instruct the Secretary of the Interior to take im- mediate action, and determine whether or not the Imperial settlers should be assisted by the Reclamation Bureau in securing public ownership of the prop erty now owned by the California De- velopment Company.
 MT. Emerson reports that he inter viewed both the President and the Sec- retary of the Interior, and went with them into the whole subject at length. He left them in the belief that they had been favoraby impressed by the pre- sentation of the situation at Imperial. Though nothing definite has been prom ised, the matter Is in the hands of the Secretary of the Interior, with instruc- tions to make report thereon at as early q date as practicable. What this report will be cannot, of course, be foretold, but MT. Emerson and his friends hope that it will be favorable.
 "What about the Mexican side of the proposition? Whaf does the govern ment expect from that?'
 "I did not hear that phase of the question discussed" " said MT. Emerson. There IS very potent reason why the United States of America cannot, in the very nature of things, look to Mexican territory either for security for the pro- posed loan from this government or for revenue from Mexican lands. That is an outside question. There may be a base charge for water, or there may not be base charge made on the Mexican lands. "
 Mir. Emerson's idea is that the Water Users Association, whe n once they have closed their bargain with the California Development Company, will be the ab- solute owners of the so-called Mexican company (meaning Heber's Mexican corporation.) Then it will be question between the Mexican land owners and the Water Users Association whether or not any base charges shall be made. However, there Is no question but what the Mexican lands, when wanted, will pay an annual rental or maintenance charge, similar to that to be paid by the lands on the American side; and this will justify, in large measure, the set tiers who have already bought their water shares from the California Devel- opment Company in entering into this arrangement with the government, thus practically becoming indorsers to the government, guaranteeing that the $3,- OOO, 900 which it is desired to have ad- vanced with which to buy out the Cali fornia Development Company will be returned to the government.
 What do you think of these 250, 900 acres of land being fled upon, in the event that the government takes the California Development Company prop erty," was asked

1.-THE LONG STRIKE"

The Shirley company come fully
equipped with an extraordinary at
tractive lot of plays for production at
the Auditorium during the summer en-
gagement. For their second week be-
ginning Sunday evening, "The Long
Strike" play of most absorbing in
terest, will receive its first production
in this city and will be played during
the entire week with the customary
Saturday matinee. The story of the
"Long Strike" is very pertinent to
the strained relationship of capital and
labor existing throughout the country
at the present time, and is sensible
sermon to both parties.
There is love story of great heart
interest running through the play, and
through the medium of the lovers, a
happy ending is brought about to all
issues involved. Miss Jessie Shirley
in the part of Margaret Knowlton has
one of those sweet womanly parts in
the delneation of which this favorite
actress is seen at her best.
