TAKAHIRA DEPRESSED.
Japaneses Minister at Washington
Believes War Must Come.

- 2
Believes War Must Come.
Washington, Feb. 6.-Ar. Takahira.
the japanese minister, has not been
informed by his government OF the re-
Ceipt of the Russian reply. but he has
received adyices from Toxic which
show the feeling there to be one of
great evaporation at the delay in the
receipt Of the Russian reply. for which
no explanation has been given. The
minister said today that he expected
70 call at the state department later
in the day for a conference with the
acting secretary OF state. He described
the situation as being very grave. He
was not surprised to hear that Mr..
Kurino. the Japanese minister, was
preparing to depart from the Russian
capital
In view OF the activity of the Rus
sian military forces, the Japanese be-
lieve that Russia is bent on war. Spe-
cial emphasis Is placed by Japanese
officials upon the forwarding Of the
reply to Admiral Alexieff, head of the
war party, for final revision. Another
strong indication of war. in the opin-
ion Of the japanese, is the warning
given by the Russian officials TO the
japanese officials at Nladivostock and
10 the japanese commercial agent. that
a state Of siege might be expected any
time.
Mr.. Takahira had a conference last
ing about half an hour with Acting
Secretary of State LOOMS this after
noon. He left the department greatly
depressed over the situation, and will
not be preatly surprised to hear Of a
severance of diplomatic relations be
tween Russia and Japan at any mo
ment.
Carried Message.
1t can be stated that Mr.. Takahira' S
visit to the state department was for
the purpose of conveying an important
communication that viii prepare this
government for the course of action
Japan is generally expected to take.
He gave the acting secretary a brief
resume Of the negotiations, pointing
out the patience with which Japan had
waited for more than a reasonable time
for the Russian reply. The minister
! said ManChuria had been always con-
sidered by Japan a vital part Of the
negotiations. This fact leads the Of
fcisIs here TO believe that Russia's re
fusal to make treaty on this point
Will be followed by war.
At the japanese legation, il is said,
an important announcement may be
made to the American people within
a short time.
In the present crisis" an official
added. discreet silence is absolutely
necessary
Baron Hayashis interview, printed
this morning, is believed at the Jap
anese legation here to be authentic.
At u late hour tonight it was stated
at the japanese legation that the min
lister had not been informed by his
government of the receipt of the Rus
sian reply. Mr.. Takahira did not at
tend the weekly reception of the Aus
trian ambassador tonight, at which
Count CaSsini was q guest.

Russian ofHcial's Opinion.
The feeling that Japan viii stand
firmly on her former demands against
whatever concessions Russia can offer
consistent with the maintenance Of her
pride IS becoming a conviction here.
An official of the foreign Office said:
"Fhe world understands our position
pretty wen. There is no reason why
the situation should be considered
changed Russia has done her utmost,
but the other side must yield if a
common ground is to be found The
japanese people and press have been
kept excited By false reports, invented,
we believe, to create distrust of our
purposes and pacific intentions. How
far the japanese authorities can with
stand the popular tide is a question.
In sharp contrast with this calm and
even hopeful view voiced by the Rus
sian official Is the gloom that prevails
al the Japanese legation and ritish en-
bassy. where no efforts are made to
disguise their feelings OF uneasiness.
Russia is standing on the tip-tOe Of
expectancy ana apprehension. Her re-
Spouse having now reached the Japan
csc government at Toxic. word there
from is awaited with extreme anxiety.

Cloudbursts on the s. P. Destroy Miles of
 Track
And Hold Up Trains for Two Days Worst Ever Known the
 Los Angeles Division

What was threatening looking day here Saturday was terrific storm fur ther north, eliminating in cloudbursts at intervals from Beaumont to Old Beach that washed out the Southern Pacific track in many places and kept the company busy for two days to re- pair it. The local line was washed out beyond Brawley and reconstruction train was "ditched" on it Saturday night Between Old Beach and Beaumont, a distance of 107 miles, the gaps were numerous and big.
 The worst appears to have been at Beaumont, where two miles and half miles of this was just north of Beau mont, and one mile near linda.
 This, of course, held up all s. P. trains, and also the Santa Fe overlands that were using the s. P. track, because of the damage to their own line in Ari zona, where they have 2OOO men at work repairing.
 Says the Times:
 Hoodoo unrelentingly follows the Santa Fe trains. The fourth section of the belated, ill-fated, storm-bound overlands escaped from the Arizona prison and successfully made the Dem ing detour over the Southern Pacific, only to run into a terrific cloudburst between Beaumont and linda.
 That the heavy Santa Fe train ever got to Cotton where it switched onto its own line, was due to the cool-headed work of Engineer Courtney, who with
The Imperial press., 1904-09-03

ten inches of water rushing over the ralis, pushed his train cautiously along and got in front of the storm. The rain came down in torrents and rolled off the hills in streams. All telegraph poles were down and the wires were swirling about in the rush of water. Roads were turned into creeks many feet deep. Cattle were seen huddled to- gether in dejected punches, and the terrified passengers, who anxiousl y peered through the windows of the coaches, were thrown into panic, many believing that they would be flood vic tims. Railroad men stated last night that it was the worst cloudburst ever experienced on the Los Angeles division of the Southern Pacific.
 A Redlands dispatch Saturday says
 "A cloudburst in San Timoteo canon, which is the pass through the noun tains for the main line of the Southern Pacific. this afternoon washed out five miles of track near Beaumont and drowned many head of stock belonging to farmers in the canon. It washed out five county bridges, and did damage amounting to many thousands of dol lars.
 No damage was done in this vicinity, the storm being confined to the northern end of the Valley and the country west of Old Beach, Railroad traffic (except locally) was cut off for two days, and of course for that time we had no mail, a very gloomy thing, indeed for country doing as big business with the outside world as the Imperial Valley.

THE LETTER ADOPTED
Speedy Signing Urged and Committee

The letter to the President suggested by Wm. E. Smythe at the meeting Thursday was that evening adopted by the Water Users as their official request. Everybody in the Valley, and elsewhere who is interested with us, is urged to sign speedily, that it may be forwarded to Washington. it is hoped to have two or three thousand signatu "es within a week. w. F. Holt and Dr.. Chas. $. Lombard were appointed special com mittee to go to Washington and urge prompt action there.

Thursday was another of the great days in the history of the Imperial Valley that will long be remembered with pleasure.
 A mass meeting was held in the his toric tent, which this time was pitched on the lot north of the hotel, and here during the day free refreshments were served, including barbecued meat, lemonade, etc.
 A large delegation of the c. D. Co.,, Emerson Realty Co. and other friends of the Valley came down in two special cars, bringing with them good band. The visitors included F. c. Paulin, Willis George Emerson. Shirley c. Ward, w. E. Smythe, Dr. Lombard, names appear in the Hotel Imperial arrivals.
 The meeting was called to order in the tent at about 2 o'clock by U. S. Commissioner F. G. Havens, who re- ferred to the fact that this was the fourth meeting he had had the honor of presiding over ill the good cause. He then introduced Mir w. F. Holt, who protested modestlv that he was no speechmaker, a fact which every ybody knows, put they know aiSO CIaC ne IS d good worker-which is better. He said that we had arrived at another stage in government ownership, which he hoped was the last. We must all work di- rectly to the point and not be diverted by any side issues.
 Willis George Emerson, the gifted Los Angeles orator was next introduced and gave an eloquent address to which justice cannot be done in brief digest. It will be reproduced in full next week. Frank N. Chaplin was next presented and made one of his enthusiastically happy addresses, beaming with friendly good will to all, in which he reviewed briefly the labor and trials of the com mittee, and gave the result his hearty sanction, a sentiment that was warmly applauded. He thought three million

too much in the abstract, bot it was better than strife, and even ten million were preferable if necessary, to private ownership and control of the water.
 l. w. Gleason made one of his usually sensible and forcible addresses. He re- membered, he said, when there was something besides speechmaking in Im- perial, and he hoped to see that time again. He gave a review of the various stages of the negotiations and said the day had been finally saved by Willis George Emerson, who had come to the rescue when failure seemed certain and brought the dissenting factions together. Dr. Charles s. Lombard, the poet- orator of Redlands, gave an eloquent talk, replete with good advice and em- belllshed with brilliant quotations and original effort. Aside from Mir. Emer- sons, his was the speech of the day and was warmly received.
 Shirley c. Ward made neat little address, full of funny stories and happy alluslons,
 Wm. k Smythe reviewed the history of the reclamation of the arid West, and warmly applauded President Roose- velt's agency in it, an appreciation of the Chief Executive that met with a hearty echo. He proposed the form of letter to the President that he rec comended the sending of, and that it be signed by every man, woman and child in the Valley-or interested in it (the suggestion was that evening adopted by the Water Users Committee, as will be seen elsewhere-Ed)
 $. J. Ulrey was loudly called for and entertained his audience with funny recitation and some straight-from-the- shoulder remarks for which he is noted.
 Mir. Ulrey never minces matters nor indulged in flowers of speech, but states th'' truth as he sees it, honestly and fearlessly.
 In the evening the band gave a fine concert and it was heartily enjoyed by | host of citizens.

Following the Settlement of the Water Question: Unbomded
 Faith of the People Shown.

August 3Oth there were three desert claims, four homesteads and two con- tests filed, and on August 31st there were three homestead entries, three desert claims and one contest filed, and one contest hearing held before the missioner.
 Including the annual proofs there have been just forty transactions before the U. s. Commissioner during the past week, as against thirtythree of all kinds for the entire month from July p to August p, ratio of about five to one.
 And this, too, is not by outsiders, but entirely by our own people-of which there are probably not one-quarter left here to do business, the remainder be- ing still at the beaches. What they would have done, if our population had been all "on deck" may be imagined.
The Imperial press., 1904-09-03

One of the most striking evidences of the abounding faith of the people of the Imperial valley in their country now that the water question is practic- ally settled and government ownership assured, is to be found in the business of United States Commissioner Ravens.
 A resume of his records for the past week clearly shows the force of this faith. On August 24th, the day follow ing the settlement and acceptance of the compromise, there were two desert claims and two homestead entries filed August 25th there were two desert claims and three homesteads. August 26th there were three desert claims and
 one homestead. August 27th four desert claims, one homestead and one contest filed. August 29th there were five desert claims, and one contest filed.
