 The skilled wage workers have Co e considerable extent associated them selves together and by various devices succeeded in raising the standard of living for themselves. The unskilled wage workers have made many at tempts to do the same but for various reasons they have not been successful.
 In all however some 5000, GOO workers have gotten together into the various trade Unions for the purpose of forcing their employers to give them better conditions and greater share of their own roduct. These unions have not been organized without labor, and the good that has been accomplished was not done by the workers applying them selves more faithfully to production, but instead. by devoting some time to secrecy that they have produced.
 As q common thing, however, the workers everywhere pour their whole lives into the work of producing things and pay SO little attention to what be- comes of the product that the shirkers who devote their attention to getting, and do little or no useful work at all .. ,.f l.a t.lY "a product. To be sure 1t is cunningIy arranged go that the worker will not readily see how it is done, and when some of them discover the method and tell their fellows they are denounced as dangerous agitators (which they are dangerous to the graft of those who do the denouncing).
 Just at the present time consider able number of people are asking the question: Why was the office of United States Commissioner suspended at lm- perial? The writer is not in possession of evidence which would convict any one of being responsible for getting this office closed And there are the usual plausible excuses which divert the at tention of those affected.
 We do know however that things of this kind are not done or undone with out some considerable private interest which is to be benefited. This is so universally true that the Socialist when ever he sees thing like the closing oi this commissioners office in Imperial, at once seeks to know whose private interest is being served; feeling sure that the interested party will not be far from the one receiving the biggest "rakeoff" '"

Death of Burton u. KridIer.

Friends of Fred B. Kridler, who
was engaged in business here to
June Ist, have received the sad
news of the death OF his father Bur
ton D. Kridler, on August 1S, 1905,
at his home in Polo, Illinois. Mr..
Kridler was sixty one years of age
and had been engaged in the dry
goods business for nearly twenty
five years. Mr.. Kridler was more
generally known and admired for
his generosity, public spirit and
cheerful kindly disposition than
perhaps any other man in Polo and
surrounding country. The funeral
services were conducted from the
opera house and were largely at
tended. All business places being
closed during the funeral, which
was conducted by Rev. K. S. Mil
Ter of the Presbyterian church.
The friends in Kenne " lex extend
their sympathy to Fred B Kri1ler
and his mother in their sad bereave-
ment.

LAUREN w. SOTH
EDITOR and PROPRIETOR
COloniZing Reclaimed Land.

The most important problem
which the Irrigation Congress has
discussed is that Of colonizing re-
claimed territory. M. smythe, of
California, suggested calling upon
each state for colonistsin proportion
10 its population, plan not with
out difficulties. The most success
ful settlements are made by people
whose circumstances ard habits of
life are somewhat similar. When
the land is; divided into small hold
ings, considerations of this sort be-
come Of the highest Importance, and
they would, quite likely, be ignored
if colonists were selected by states.
Mr.. Smythe's remark that all parts
of the country are equally interest
ed in the recla med regions is sound
but there is a better way than the
one he proposes to apportion the
co!onists.
Before settlers are invited to a
new tract its agricultural possibili-
ties should be thoroughly studied
It's climate and the questions of fuel
and drinking water should be in
vestigated, as we'll as building ma
terials. Supposing that all this
has been honestly done, then il
would be a great mistake to call
for colonists from the whole coun-
try. The result of such a proceed.
ing would be ariotous scramble fol-
land which must cause great los.
and hardship to many families.
Instead Of this method, let we'll

share Of water can do so b. divert
ing and holding the water TO the
detrinent of the farms situated
farther down the stream. This is
the cause OF unending disputes and
all of the states in the west have
laws designated to overcome it. A
new and novel gate arrangement
has recently been patented to meet
this emergency by l.. H: Reade, a
resident of Utah, stationed at the
Rio Grande reclamation project,
where he represents the United
States government. This gate reg
ulates the flow of water at the heads
Of the distributing canals and Later
ais, and is especially designed where
the scarcity and unsatisfactory dis
tribution of water cause trouble
among those concerned. The de-,
vice consists of an iron gate stem,
threaded, and two wheels also
threaded to fit the stem. One of
The wheels is for the purpose of
raising and lowering the gate, and
to the other wheel is attached a
chain and paddock, by means Of
which the second and smaller wheel
is locked in any position OH the
stem, and this constitutes the lock-
ing device. This is fixed at point
which will give land owner all
the water he is entitled to, and will
permit him to cut the flow off en-
tirely or partially if irable, but
he is unable to increase it to the
point of depriving his neighbor of

was worth at least 500 to ME.
