REPLY TO McCUMBER
His Statement Of Dishonest Grain Weigh
.'.,7 Ing Is Denied.

FITS STATEMENT OF DIshOneSt GraIn We19h-
.'..r Ing Is Denied.
The statement attributed to Senator
McCumber in Washington yesterday that
dishonest weighing methods at Duluth
had robbed farmers who have shipped
their grain thru that point of $20,OO0,00o,
has called forth some emphatic denials
from F. W. Eva, chief grain inspector of
the state railroad and warehouse commits
sion. and from the Duluth board of
trade. Mr.. Eva proposes to submit fig
ures showing that Senator McCumber was
decidedly in error when he said that the
official records at Duluth and West Su-
perior show that during the past ten years
26 S66 900 more bushels of wheat went out
of than came into the elevators of these
two cities. The Duluth board of trade
has already forwarded to, Washington an
emphatic denial of the statement.

Return Cattle to California

Dr. J. c. Norton returned from Tomb stone, where he had been on business connected with his office as territorial veterinarian. He states that the ship ment of cattle held at Yuma have been ordered returned to California by the federal authorities at Washington, they holding that the quarantine regulation, which went into effect February 1st, must be strictly enforced.
 These cattle were shipped from the Imperial country, neither shipper or railroad company thinking about the quarantine regulations. Cattle are ad- mitted up to February of each year, and then excluded until the following No- yember. Consequently the shipment was held up at Yuma. The officials at Washington were appealed to with the result above noted.
 Dr. Norton states that it is possible some suspension of the regulations may be made in favor of California if the re- cent rains have not broken the drouth. Phoenix Gazette.

Many Cattle Arrive

Steele Brothers arrived Sunday morn ing with a train load of cattle from Chino. They had 800 head of milch COWS and 800 head of steers and calves. The creamery which they have been putting in at the south end of town on Imperial avenue is completed, and will add materially to the output of butter of the town. The herd of milch cows starts the creamery off in good shape.

Immigration Plan With Mexico

The United States is about to make arrangements with Mexico by which the Sonora border can be better protected by the immigration authorities of this country.
 It is the desire to make such arrange ment with Mexico as the United States has with Canada, and if this is done it will result in Tightening the work of the inspectors at border points, such as Mo- gales, Douglas and Naco, and will greatly protect the United States against the influx of undesirable citizens. A great part of the immigration work will then be done at the Mexican ports of entry.
 By such arrangement the United States inspectors will be stationed at all Mexican ports of entry, where they will examine all immigrants desiring to con- tinue through the sister republic to this country. If the immigrants are in the class that is permitted to land here, the inspector will then give them certif cate to that effect and they can continue their journey; but if they are not entit led to land, the certificate is denied them and the railroad companies will refuse to transport them to the United States. This is the agreement with Can ada, and it works we'll and it is believed that it can be secured in Mexico.-Yuma Sun.

BUILDING PROGRESS
A Number of Buildings Now Making
 Good HeadWay

Stevenson Brothers Company's brick block is still in the hands of carpenters, who are putting in the finishings.
 The roof is being put on the brick hotel, and the building will be in the hands of the carpenters for some weeks yet.
 The walls are going up for the brick store buildings of J. B. Brackett and c. F. Preble
 The school board is receiving bids for the proposed $6000 brick school house.
 The frame store building being put up by H. E. Allatt, which will be occupied by the postoffice and by Dr. P. S. Anderson's drug store is nearing com pletion. It is 25x75 feet, and will make a very presentable appearance.
 The building being put up by John S.. Gottlob, opposite the lumber yard, for his soda works and bowling alley, is nearing completion.
 Peter Larsen's building opposite the postoffice is we'll advanced It will be a neat frame building, and will be occu- pied as billiard room by H. c. Web ster.
 George Varney's cottage on South Imperial avenue will be one of the at tractive residences of the town. Mr. Varney said he was going to have a strictly modern house if it cost him $100, but he afterward forgot the money limit.
 S. o. Long's residence, now building on West Eighth street is another which will rank with the best in town.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Secretary Lawrence Makes State
 ment Regarding a Criticism

In connection with the impending election, the question of incorporation and the selection of the guiding hands for the new municipality, much has been said by careless tongues concern ing the Chamber of Commerce as a factor, not only y ill the inception of the whole but in the work of carrying it through, as 'smachine'' measure with the design of controlling the future town.
 In this talk that element, which, fear ing the law desires to avoid it's applica- tion to Imperial, has not hesitated to accuse the Chamber of Commerce of so working matters as to ring on the cleo tion at time that would disfranchise all voters who were not registered at the time the petition was signed namely, January 23.
 For the benefit of the few who may, without thinking of the source of such accusation, give credence to it, am di- rected by the board of directors of the Imperial Valley Chamber of Commerce to furnish a transcri pt of the fourth paragraph of the minutes of the meet ing of the board, held on Monday night, February l5, two days previous to the reception of the ruling of the county clerk that only voters who were on the old register or who were registered forty days previous to election are eligible to vote on the question of incorporation.
 The paragraph in subject is as fol- lows:
 ''The question of city incorporation was taken up and the impending cleo tion of March discussed The secre- tary was directed to visit all voters within the proposed city limits and draw attention to the importance of i'm mediate registration, in view of the inn pending election and the importance of the questions hinging on that election"
 This should be proof conclusive to every fair minded citizen that the rul- ing of the county clerk was as unknown and as unexpected to the directors of this body as to the citizens at large Showing, as it does, the falsity of one accusation may it not, in all fairness, be assumed that other derogatory accusa- tions are equally false?
 Every word and every act of this body has been uttered and taken solely for the best interests of the town as a whole, and not for the individual; for the many and not for the few.
