for that disease say to their friends.
O. S. Caswell, of North sMiddleboro
Mass, writes: "Hyomei has relieved
me from choking catarrhal troublt
and cleared my head. am glad tc

It is the easiest thing in the world
to stop catarrh or aAcatarrhal colo
at its beginning, If you use Hyomet
Just breathe the health-giving bal
samic air for few minutes and your
catarrh will be cured. In the worst
cases of this disease, chronic or acute
Hyomei used four or five times day
is all that is needed to soon effect
cure.
In this and neighboring towns
there are hundreds that can testify tc
the remarkable powers Of Hyomet
to cure catarrh. Many of the staunch-
est friends Of this remedy began its
use with little h3pe that they swould
be cured, but as Mcbride & Will Of
fered to refund the money IL It did not
benefit, they decided to try 1t on that
plan, and they were soon restored to
health.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but $1.oo and consists OF an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pocket

Hyomei. The inhaler lasts lifetime
and If one bottle does not cure, ar
extra bottle of Hyomei can be OBJ
tanned for 80 cents.

Solar Heater in Imperial

Mir. Masten, the ever enterprising and up-to-date proprietor of the Hotel Thelma, has added another to the con- veniences of his popular house. It is solar heater for the bath rooms, the first, we believe, i'll the valley. The heater is big glass case enclosing cyl indrcal tanks in which is the water. The water is let from reservoir into these tanks, the sun, shining through the glass, heats it, and it is drawn off into the bath tubs below. The method is very cheap and effective, the sun having power enough to boil the water if desired, and the cost, after once in- stalling the plant, is practically nothing, as the sun works for nothing and boards itself. Mir. Masten has the agency of these heaters, and will supply them to others. They are of various sizes and at moderate cost.

but would be satisfied with Govern ment acquisition of the system on basis that would protect all interests. Government acquisition of the irriga- tion system have believed to be mat ter for quiet diplomacy. I have not been able to see ill it all any call for stump oratory. But have been afraid that present prosperity might be in- jured by false plan of campaign, and when "pig in a poke" has been brought to me with a request that ally myself with the pig while denied the privilege of seeing it, refused to enter the alliance. am not in the habit of committing myself to another mans project when he denies me his confi- dence.
 As have said, I believed that false plan of campaign would be highly detri- mental to the interests of this valley, and think it will be conceded now that there was ground for the fear.
 But the important point just now is that change has been made in the campaign for Government irrigation. The whole matter has been placed in the hands of a committee to be ap- pointed by the several mutual water companies. It is to be presumed that they will be capable and conservative men, who will realize that they have everything to gain by working out the series of problems presented on diplo- matic, rather than political, lines. There is more virtue in dynamics than in pyrotechnics.
 It may be difficult matter to harmo- nize five parties to possible contract, but if the five parties all want the con- tract made, the details should not be in- surmountable.
 In full accord with the universal de- mand for Government ownership, here as elsewhere, now as continuously for many years, I still hope the negotia- tions made will be on lines which will encourage continuous progress, rather than on lines which will create need less and false alarm. E. F. HowE.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
MT. Howe, Former Owner of the
 Press, Gives His Views

EDITOR PREss-Dear Sir: Something like a persistent effort has been made to put in a false light the position which took on the question of Govern ment ownership when publishing the Press, and with your permission wish to put in few words my ideas on this subject as final statement.
 For more than decade large per- centage of my writings for print has been in the form of advocacy of Govern ment reclamation of public lands by means of irrigation.
 I have always held, and still hold, that Government irrigation for this val ley as for other sections, would be desir- able.
 I also recognized the fact that the laws of the land have invited the organ ization of corporations; that the govern ment invited the corporations to aid in the development of the resources of the ma tion that ill response to the invitation of law the California Development Company was organized and entered upon the reclamation of this particular body of land.
 Personally I do not believe in the control of land or water by corporations, but I recognize the good faith in which the California Development Company began it's work with evident intent to comply with the law, and while the company, like most individuals in the course of their careers, found times when it was unable to meet every obll- gatiOn, have been convinced that it was acting in good faith and was en- titled to be treated in good faith.
 The que4tion of the acquisition of this irrigation system came up in Washing ton. Barring two or three persons, the people of this valley were not parties to the demand for Government irrigation, nor was the public permitted to know what was being done.
 Believing in Government ownership for this valley and for all public lands, I believed there was a right way and wrong way to proceed to get it.
 I could see five parties in interest in the proposed purchas of the irrigation system; The Republic of Mexico, the United States, the California Develop ment Company, the water users in the United States and the water users in Mexico.
 There is some talk of opposition to Government ownership. 1 believe the opponent is straw man. do not be-

FOR OWNERSHIP
 BY THE GOVERNMENT
Joint Session of Water Companies Act on
 Two Important Issues

A very important conference was held at the office of Imperial Water Com pany No. Saturday, at which the mat ters of advancing funds to the California Development Company and acquisition of the irrigation system by the Govern ment were considered. The parties to the conference were the directors of the several mutual water companies. The result was that basis was found for harmonious work on all lines, while the active work for Government ownership is transferred from committee named by Chairman Ravens at former citi- zens' meeting to committee to be com posed of representatives chosen by the respective mutual water companies, thus giving the committee more repre- sentative character.
 While heartily favoring Government ownership of the irrigation system, this committee will undoubtedly be ill large part composed of conservative farmers, who will see that all interests in the valley receive due protection.
 In the matter of the proposed ad- vance of funds to the California Devel- opment Company, further step was taken along the same line as previously reported in these columns by the ap- pointment of a committee to have charge of the negotiations.
 There was only one point which brought forth strong discussion. That was an effort made by Attorney Shirley c. Wald, representing Water Company No. 5, to require the California Develop ment Company to give an option on it's plant before the water companies should consent to advance money Chief Engineer Redwood, represent ing the California Development Com pany, made a positive statement that the option would not and could not be considered, as no one would be author ized to give the option without stock holders meeting being held to approve the measure. The official minutes of the meeting follow:

 The meeting was called to order a+ 1O:0O a. m. by I. w. Gleason, who stated that the object of the meeting was to discuss the draft of the proposed contract between the California Devel- opment Company and the various water companies with reference to making loan to the said California Development Company for construction purposes and the discussion of matters relative to Government ownership. There were present at the meeting: Valentine Cant, I. w. Gleason, J. II. McKim, S.J. Ulrey and w. A. Edgar, directors of Water Company No. 1; F. N. Chap
