Miss Helen Tatman Solves AppIe
Problem.

The apple problem, which was pub
lished last week by request, is answered
in the following solution by Miss Helen
Tatman, who is but about 10 or u
years of age
"In the first proposition B sells l
apple at IL cent, and c l apple at 1. 8
of cent. Therefore, l-2 plus l.8 equals
5-6 cents for apples. For apple I-2
of SO will equal 5-l2 cents per apple.
In the second proposition B sells )
apples at cents, or 20 cents per apple.
Hence, 5-12 minus 25 equals rs go
minus 24-60 equals 100 cent difference
in price and l.6O times so equals 6O-eO
or l cent?

5. p. IMPROVEMENTS
Two Additional Settling Basins-New
 Pump for Water Tank

Carrying water to Old Beach sounds much like carrying coals to New castle" but every day two or more cars of Imperial canal water are taken to Old Beach for use on the main line.
 The capacity of the present plant has proved too small, and last week a work crew, with twelve horses and mules arrived to construct better system
 The plans are for two additional set ting basins, each s0x9s feet at the top and seven feet deep, with a combined capacity of approximately 100000 gall Ions. This necessitates the removal of $500 yards of earth
 In place of the present rotary pump, a new centrifugal pump will be installed at the pumping station.
 It is also anticipated that another settling basin will be necessary at Old Beach.

School Lands Revert to State

In the action of the State vs. Alfred D. Mason in the superior court last week decision was rendered in favor of the plaintiff.
 The suit was brought by Atty. Gen. U. $. Weeb and District Attorney Cassius Carter to foreclose Mir. Mason's s interest in the north half and south west quarter of section l6, township Is, south range l2 east, San Bernardino meridian. It lies little over six miles west of the city of Imperial and com prises 4S0 acres.
 Mr. Mason had paid $l20 of the price, under the school land act, and there was due and owing $l00.s0. The time of the last payment expired and the foreclosure was made by the state, the defendant defaulting of appearance. Time went by and the land became valuable, being in the irrigation dis trict. Mir. Mason sought to recover possession, claiming that the publica- ton of summons had been inadequate.
 Mr. Mason's Attorneys F. R Brandon and Edwin A. Wells, took the appeal, with the above result.

Present mpeas Request President Roosevelt For Prompt Action
 the Water Question

Following dispatch in Sundays Times explains itself It seems likely, how ever. that no suggestion of decision will be given until the government re- ceives the report of Engineer Lippencott referred to elsewhere:
 WAsHrSGToS, Sept. 2I-The long fight to determine whether the govern nIent shall take over the property and irrigation works owned by the Califor- mia Development Company at Imperial, Cal, appears to be coming to close {; and perhans, if things go right, 1t will be decided within a few weeks what is to be the future of this c; ts.rprise.
 There arrived here today George W. Emerson, representing settlers at Im- perial, and A. II. Hrbrr, president of the California Development Company. Emerson came bearing letter signed by considerable number of settlers at
The Imperial press., 1904-10-01

Imperial, asking that the government move quickly in the matter of purchas- ing the property. This letter Emerson took tp the White House and laid be- fore the President. Of course, while the matter is before the Interior De- partment the President will take no direct action, but he did say to Emerson that he would ask the Interior Depart ment to conclude it's investigations as soon as possible and make its decision without unnecessary delay. Emerson also called upon Acting Secretary of the Interior Ryan.
 Heber, who will remain here for several days, says he will take no action whatever and will not try to influence the government to act one way or the other. H.. says he is perfectly willing the government should buy the prop erty, if he can get his price, $3,000,0O If he can't get that, he says he is against making the sale.

Chamberlaia,s Cough Remedy

No one who is acquainted with its good qualities can be surprised at the great popularity of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It not only cures colds and grip effectually and permanently, but prevents these diseases from resulting in pneumonia It is also certain cure for croup. Whooping cough is not dan gerous when this remedy is given. It contains no opium or other harmful substances and may he given as conf dently to baby as to an adult. It is also pleasant to take. When all of these facts are taken into consideration it IS not surprising that people in foreign lands. as well as at home, esteem this remedy very highly and very few are willing to take any other after having once used it.
