THE AMERICAN FLAG.

Wednesday, June IA, is the 12Sth
anniversary of the birth of the Amer
lean Flag. 1t is 1913 years since Betsy
Ross, of Philadelphia, pieced the
stripes together and stitched the stars
on the field of blue, after which she
turned the newborn banner over to
General George Washington. 1t is fit
ting that on this anniversary it should
float from every housetop; from every
window; from every pole. Let the
heaven-born colors CLINT in the light of
the morning and be gilded with the
glow of the evening. 1t has a proud
history, that old banner 1t has waved
over fields where men fought for prin-
ciple and not glory. 1t has been the
banner OF protection and not conquest
1t has fiuttered over many lands and
on many seas and has never been low
cred in disgrace, but ever in honor. 1t
has been the flower of passion that
lighted the war-mad soldier to victory
and the last sight that greeted the fast
closing eye of the stricken warrior.
1t has Haunted it's brilliancy over blood
stained decks and the dying mariner
has passed to his rest cheered by a
last glimpse of it's beauty. We ought
all to honor it, for in it's stripes and its
stars is the record of our country's his
tory.
IT'S the flag of the free, not the banner
of kings;
1t shall wave on and on It'll the end of
all things,
And this star-spangled banner in tri-
umph shall wave
Ger the land of the free and the home
of the brave.

His latest play, "Ransom's Folly" is
found on Richard Harding Davis story
of a frontier garrison camps illustra-
tive of American army life. The plot
shows how a hair-brained lieutenant,
in endeavoring to win foolish wager
narrowly escapes death. The young
officer, in opposition to the social pre-
JUDGE of the camp, conceives a
strange love for the post-traders
daughter. There are many thrilling and
interesting situations in the play in
which Mr.. Davis is said to have sur
passed his efforts in the story that

Utahna park-Grand opening of sea-
son, June 9Th.
The b. Y. university students, in
"The Beggar Student" introduced a
chorus to Salt Lake which took the
town by the ears.
1t was vocally drilled to the singing
point-a musical assertion that fits
only a few travelling choruses, which
have visited us during the past season.
| confessed to some misgiving when
l went to "The Beggar Student" AS
a rule, an amateur chorus-and the
professional chorus also-gets its
throat chords so twisted as to disar-
range the singing machinery and
threaten the exposed ear-drums of a
sensitive audience. / thought it would
be the same with the imported chorus
from Provo-that there would be a
violent disproportion between volume
and quality. But, most happily, my
suspicious were blown away by the
first ensemble efforts of the evening.
The way those girls and boys put their
lips, threats and lungs into their work,
simply astonished me. l rubbed my
eyes to see If they were being de-
ceived. There was no deception, how
ever, the Provo girls and boys were
actually there with the vocal goods.
Professor Lund, who trained the cho-
rus, is entitled to much credit. But,
after all, the professor merely applied
the polish-the students did the rest.
Provo Is to be congratulated on be-
ing able to combine so much voice ma
terial in one student organization.
Such opera companies as appeared in

to beg for future patronage in appre-
ciative Salt Lake.
"The Bulletin" a Newspaper pirate

case of making the paper be good
or walk the plank.

crockery in the counting room of the
Bulletin, and the manager of the sheet
is trying to pick up the pieces. Fol
lowing the example of the theatres,
the merchants are moving against the
paper. Already the skull and cross
bones have been lowered by the Bull
letin, and the old pirate is getting
down on his knees, crying for mercy.
or course this kind of boycott can
happen in San Francisco. The people
in the California metropolis have a
way of knocking the knockers, which
Salt Lake people should emulate.
Mrs. Fiske handled the theatrical
trust without gloves in her recent lee
ture in Barratt Hall. 1t is certainly
pity than an actress of such ability
could not appear behind the footlights
of a Salt Lake playhouse. The lady
is certainly undertaking big war
fare, when she attempts to puncture
the trust with her actress hat-pin. Ac-
cording to some, the only cause for
disagreement between the Theatrical
trust and the Independents is fall
ing out over percentages and certain
booking arrangements. This may
mean much or little, according to the
point of view. Klaw and Erlanger,
the head of the trust, however, pro-
pose to fight the battle to the very last
theatric ditch. The Independents, like
the Spartans, are resolved to duel to
the death. Who will win? Why, Klaw
and Erlanger-just as sure as the fig

the defeated Spartans were carried
home on their shields. In these mod

experience.
Since then, too, Harry Corson

The secret of the whole operation, MT. Waldrop says, is to not have it start too thick and to not force it's growth as you would for hay. On land you would irrigate every two weeks for hay, only irrigate once in three weeks for seed. Delay your first irrigation till tie strongest growing shoots are we'll start ed, then they will force ahead of the. others and your crop will not be too thick and choke out. On some lands in the Valley, three weeks might be too long to go between irrigations and in such cases farmers should be govern ed by the condition of the plants and their usual practice in irrigating for hay. The point being that the plant does not want to be forced, as in pro- ducing hay, nor does it need to be stunted.
 If alfalfa is not too thick on the ground and is not irrigated enough to make it put out new shoots or sprout up from the ground after the plants are grown, it will produce good crop of seed anywhere in Imperial Valley.
 There Ire number of other farmers in the Valley growing alfalfa seed and we have no doubt the time is at hand when Imperial alfalfa seed will be 8 staple in the markets and new record in profitable farming will be established in our Valley.

A New Era for Number Five

The outcome of the stockholders s meeting of Imperial Water Go No. 5, which was held at Holtville, last week, is certain to have profoundly benefici- al effect on the development and pros perity of thatimpOrtant part of our Val ley. and to incidentally benefit the en- tire Valley as we'll. For long time there was more or less controversy be-
 tween Number Five and the California Development Co.,, the beginning of the trouble dating back almost to the organ ization of the Company itself. What with water shortages, destruction of headgates and losses by delays in con- struction, the lot of the east side farmer was not a very rosy one. 50 in the course of time quite substantial sum came to be claimed by the farmers for damages. There was also dissatisfaction with the canal system and the plans fol-
 lowed in it's construction. So on May 18th last q contract was entered into between Mir. Heber, who was then the executive head of the California Devel- opment Co.,, on behalf of his company and Imperial Water Co., No. ,, by which all old scores were wiped out and t clean

PROFITABLE ALFALFA
Sixty Dollars Per Acre for the Present Years Product Realized by
 an Imperial Farmer

Some time ago Mir. w. B. Waldrop brought to our office sample of crop of alfalfa seed he was raising on the w. H. Brooks place four miles south west of town, that we thought was a little tue best we had ever seen.
 Mir. Waldrop now informs us that he has at least twenty acres of this crop which will produce more than four hundred pounds of seed per acre and that over the entire ninety acres he has in seed crop he will average well above three hundred pounds per acre. With alfalfa seed going at fifteen cents per pound, this looked like pretty profit able farming, to us, so we asked about his operations for the year.
 He furnished us facts and figures to show that this entire field of ninety acres will yield net profit of more than sixty dollars per acre during tie present year. The field was pastured till April 1, netting s3.5O per acre for pasturage. Then after that it was moved twice for hay and yielded at least one and a-haIf tons per acre at each cutting or three tons per acre in hay. This is worth five dollars per ton in the field. That makes fifteen dollars per acre for hay. Now it has produced a crop of seed worth at least forty-fve dollars per acre. It will produce one more cutting of hay which will be worth at least e7.50 per acre on the ground, and then. pasturage for the balance of the year.
 This figures up as follows: Hay, $22.5O; seed, $i5 and pasturage at least $5 per acre, tatal of $72.5O per acre. Irrigating water has cost $l.25 per acre and Mir. Waldrop thinks ten dollars per acre for labor and threshing will be ample to cover the expense. Then the threshed alfalfa straw is good feed, too, and that hasn't been counted in at all :. Even should alfalfa seed go to twelve and a-half cents per pound, the estimate of $6O per acre would still hold good.
 As the production of alfalfa seed is evidently a very profitable business in this Valley, we asked MT. Waldrop what his methods were in the irrigation and care of his crop. He then informed us that he believed he had solved the question. but that it had cost him con- siderably to do it, as, had 'he known just how to handle the matter and not

slate presented on which to write future transactions. This contract, while turn ing over to Number Five all it's unsOld stock, thereby returning it's assets, also
 made it incumbent upon that company to finance itself in the work of complet- ' ing it's irrigation and drainage system. To do this it was necessary to vote bonds or raise the funds by assessment. The present management of the California Development Go. very properly took the ground that unless Number Five was willing to vote bonds, or in some way show it's ability to carry out it's part of the trade, the contract would fail and the work of completing the canal and drainage system fall back on tEem un- der the old contract factinus oppO- sition in No. 5 sought to distort this at- titude of the California Development Go. into one of hostility to and repudia- ton of the contract and at the election called to consider the matter, they were able to defeat the bonds by small mar gin. However, the Direct 'rs of Number Five, not willing to believe they had made mistake in their contract with Mir. Heber, immediately made call for an assessment of 50 cents per share on the issued stock of the company and submitted the question of bonds to the people second time for their consider ation. This resulted in the authorize ton of the bonds at the meeting above referred to. As soon as the bonds were authorized, the assessment was recalled and Number Five became at that mo- mpnt real Mutual Water Company, owning it's own stock and with assets at it's own disposal, free to make whatever disposition it's stockholders and Direct ors might see fit to make of the same. Being thus in so happy a condition, it was decided to recOmpense those stock holders who had suffered damages. This was done by issuing to cash one scrip of the company, receivable in payment for its stock at twenty dollars per share for an amonnt equal to 85 per cent. of the full sum of his claim.
 The total amount of damages claimed was $l39, ,643, If which $64,350 was for damages sustained during the crop sea- son of 19O3-4 and $75, ,293 for damages during the season of 1904-5 just passed. These sums were arrived at by allowing $l5.0O per acre for all grain crops lost during l9O3-4 and $9.6O per acre for the same in 1904-5. In payment of these claims script for $l2O,OO will be issued and delivered to the damage sufferers. This scrip can be used in the purchase of water stock, either to make payment
