 of a caucus held Monday night in pur- sunncc to the following call in Satur- days PREss
 "FoR INCORPORATION
 There will be a meeting of the citizens of the town of Imperial held at the of- flee oi Imperial Water Co. No. l. at $ o'clock on Monday evening, June 2Oth, 1904, for the purpose "t making prepara- tious for tn, town election to be held on June 30th.'
 The Water Compauy's office was soon found to bc too small and the hall over the Land Cnmpany's office adopted n- stead. The night was one cf the storm fest of the season. the wind bowling and dust thickening the air yet iu spite of this and the fact of change of meeting place not generally understood, from fifty to hundred of the best citizens of Imperial gathered and held one of the best and fnirest political meetings ever held here or elsewhere.
 It was genuine consultation of in- tcrested citizens with an active rivalry for office and busincss-like declaration of principles prepared on the spot. In fact this latter point was markedly apparent in the crudity of the enuncia- ton ot those principles; SO much so that soine were afterwards in favor of rewriting them to have them more logically stated, but the motion was overruled on the ground that the oriei- nal expression was exactly what the meeting had adopted.
 The meeting wac called to order by W. D. Carey, and Mr. Long presented with strong complimentary words the name of r.. C. MacDougal, Esq. for chairman. The suggestion was received with applause but MT MacDongal de cined the honor ou the ground of his short residence in the Valley, saying there was plenty of good material among older residents. He paid high compli- ment to the ability and character of the pioneers of this Valley, and said they had prlor right to representative posi- tiuns
 The name of our popular citizen, Roy D. McPherrin, Esq, was then presented and enthusiastically adopted whereupon Mir. McPhcrrin assumed the chair and presided with ability nnd dignity over the deliberations of the meeting.
 On motion. n committee on rcsolu- tions was appointed to report before the nominations were made, so that candi. dates should know the platform they were expected to stand on.
 Mcssrs. Edgar, Market and Mac Dougal were appointed and they in due time reported as follows:

 PUBLIC MEETING
 To night June IS, 04: At City Hall, over Clark's Hardware Store, at S o'clock Notice K hereby given that a mass meeting of the citizens of Imperial will be held at the above hall this even ing at S o'clock for the purpose of nom mating candidates for the various city offices to be voted for at the con ing election, June 30th. The meeting will endeavnr to nominate ticket com posed of representative citizens, who if elected will be to act for the best interests of Imperial. Let every citizen attend who feels an interest in the advancement of the city'- welfare. Signed T. r. Banta J E. Parazette, Wilber Clark, S w Mitchell, Paul =. Anderson, Laurence Harris.
 Pursuant to this, near hundred citizens including some ladies. gathered at the appointed time. and were called to order by Laurence Harris, one of the signes of the call. He stated the object of the meeting, read the call, and called for nominations for chairman. Mir. Parazctte nominated Judge Farr and that gentleman was chosen without opposition.
 Mir. Farr accepted the honor with be- coming modesty and assumed his duties with neat compliment to Imperial and glowing prediction of its great :ut- ure. The present, he said, was unique as the first municipal mass meeting ever held in Imperial Valley, and he took it for granted the citizeus assem- dled stood for certain good features of q local platform espoused by the signes of the call These were graded streets, sidewalks and street lights; also public ownership of light and water. This last sentiment particularly struck popular chord and it was warmly applauded.
 The chairman then called for the selection of secretary and Roger Web ster was chosen.
 Judge Banta then moved the appoint mcnt of q committee of , on nomina- tions; carried, and the chair appointed Judge Banta, J. S. Cannon, Laurence Harris, Wilber Clark and Ed Varney.
 A committee on resolutions was also called for, and Messrs. J. B. Parazette, Toomey and Paul S. Anderson were named.
 After recess the committees report eel as fellows:

Our friend The Newport Express and
Standard is irreconciled to the theory
of modern journalism that it is only
fair to give the "other fellows an OPP
portunity to be heard in his own be-
half. Well, everyone to his W view
1t is significant, however, that public
sentiment is healthier and more pro-
gressive where the truth is threshed
out every day between two fairly
evenly divided opinions, than it is
where a helpless, hopeless minority is
a mere butt of ridicule and exercises
no restraint upon public policy what
ever. With all due respect to our
brethren of Orleans county, The Mes
senger may say that it does not believe
that it a healthy symptom that only
one county ticket has been filed with
the Orleans county clerk to be printed
on the official ballot for the Septem-
Der election.-St. Adams Messenger.

The Path to Success.

"Like a boat IN a river" says En-
erson, "every boy u against OBJ
structions on every side but one. On
that side all sbstructions are taken
away, and he sweeps serenely over a
deepening channel into an infinite
sea-" When you have found your
true calling, nature will not oppose
your progress with barriers. There
will be nc straining or pulling against
your inclinations. Hardships and
difficulties will be powerless to hold
you back from the success that is to
be yours by divine right.-Success.

The Golden Rule in Business.

The most efficient, loyal, and CON
tented workers are always developed
under employers who make the Gold
en- Rule their motto. In factories.
stores, and offices where this rule is
adopted, we don't hear of strikes or
lockouts, or conflicts between employ
ers and employees. Each wage-earn-
er knows that he is working for his
W interest, as we'll as that of his
employer, and he becomes sponta-
neously enthusiastic and throws him
self into his work with a will. The
humblest worker in such a concern
knows that, if the business prospers,
he will prosper with it.-Success.
