THERE is a matter concerning the welfare of our young boys Of which the PRESS feels constraif1- ed to speak, and that IS the practice of the pool hall propri- etors in permitting them to loi- ter around their places of busi- ness, play pool, gamble at the slot machines and engage in other things that boys of tender years have no business to do. The future citizens of our city and country are our boys and we believe every safeguard should be thrown around them until they at least reach the years of discretion. No boy should be permitted to frequent pool halls, or other places where games of chance, and gambling devices are run, for such associations and such pursuits may so warp their minds as to cause boy of good mind and noble instincts to degenerate into criminal and d hobo. We do not believe that any of the pool hall proprietors would Intentionally do anyone a wrong, and we congratulate them on the neat and orderly places they keep, but we do be- lieve they should not have kin dergarden class.

Imperial School Items

Tie school had a very delightful time last Friday afternoon and evening about two miles south of town, where they went on picnic.
 The public school has just received large donation of magazines for the school library, from Mrs. Priest and also number of books and magazines from pr. Blake, which were gratefully received.
 Of the invitations sent out to the schools of the Valley, by the Imperial school, for the picnic to be held at Blue Lake, A pril @, three acknowledgements have been received, Calexico and Heber accepting and Brawley declining.
 The teachers are planning for gala day on the 29th. The schools of Heber, CalexcO and Silsbee, will join the lm- perial school in the picnic, and so big crowd is assured, and Blue Lake being an ideal spot for a picnic, general RoOu GII110 w III DS dSSuItu' IIO of Imperial will be transported in wagons, dinner to be carried in baskets, and splendid program rendered. general invitation is extended to parents and people of the Valley interested in public education. To those who have never visited Blue lake, let us add, it is a lake, deep and large, with boats for rowing, surrounded by d natural grove of trees, giving plenty of shade. It IS wonderfully beautiful sheet of water, the surrounding mountains casting across it deep shade of purple, from which it derives it's name-Blue lake. Coming upon this water after drive of ten miles across desert country, amid such picturesque surroundings, causes one to marvel at the wonderful works of nature. Following is the program for the days sport: Mile relay race; standing broad jump; running broad jump; swimming race; sack race; girls race GOO yards); potato race; boys race, under l2; girls race, under 12; teachers nail driving race.

AMPLE WATER FACILITIES

From the ass ociated press re- ports we learn that the latest great flood in Salt River Valley, Arizona has washed out the di- version dam at the head of one of the principal canals on Salt River and that the consequent loss to the farmers by inability to get water would be very great. This sort of trouble is what is liable to occur under such con- ditions at any time. These farmers lands are located above the level of the river from which they get their water supply. They raise the water level in the river by means of dam so that it will flow out into their canal and away to their farms. All they have between them and a drouth is a measly old dam that is likely to give way or wash out or fail at any time. Then, no matter how much water Is flow ing Ill the river the farms will dry up and the crops fail just the same as if there was no irriga- tion system at all to supply them.
 In Imperial Valley quite diff ferent conditions prevail. Here the water is brought from the Color ado river, and at the point where said river is tapped the bed of the river is about 165 feet above the city of lmpe1 ial, and more than 100 feet above the highest farms in the Imperial Valley. It will thus be seen that we are situated so all we need do is to tap the river and we cant lose the water, it is bound to come to us. As result of three years of experience it has been found that the canals at the Color river have sufficient fall to sluice out the silt, and that controlling headgates can be put in several miles back from the river at an advantageous point and the surplus water turned back to the river through chan nel leading off to the south from this point where it is proposed to place the headgates. In an enterprise of such magnitude as the development of this Valley, it is to be expected that a lal ge amount of experimental work must be done, and it is but natu- ral that the engineers doing the work will learn a number of things while doing it. In the meantime, there does not seem to be any doubt of either our right or our ability to get the water out of the Colorado river and we are not subject to the vicissitudes of a diversion dam, either.

noon it began overflowing it's banks and has continued rising steadily since. As we go to press the water has reached the thirty-foot mark and is still rising. This is six inches below the highest water this year, but it is possible that even that record may be excelled.-Yu- ma Sun, April IA.
 The City Council
 The City Council met last Wednesday evening in regular session. The resig- nation of City Marshal Beach was put over for week. There was some re- ports and discussion regarding street grades and sidewalk improvements, but the only real business of importance that was transacted, was the letting to J. B. Russell of the contract to irrigate and care for the shade and ornamental trees along the streets and parks. For this work Mir. Russell gets $30 per month. Hail to our new street commits soner.

While there will Ee many out of the Valley at that time, yet those of us who are here will be glad of the opportunity to celebrate and get chee, ed up.

 Help Need for Harvest
 There is a quite brisk demand for farm hands in the Valley at presen t and this demand will increase rapidly now for some time. The crops are ripening fast, haymg is in progress, hay baling is going on and by the first of May several combined harvesters will be running, besides a number of headers and binders. It is estimated that about 5000 acres will be cut for grain, the remainder of the crop being used for pasture and cut for hay It is believed that this amount of land will never be sown to grain again in this Valley. The universal success of alfalfa in all parts of the Valley has turned our farmers attention alfalfawards, and it can be expected that every acre that can he pOttAn into a falfa wiI ba mt in

Quite a ripple of excitement was caused on our streets by the rumor that the Standard would hereafter be published at Cabar- ker which gained currency the last day or two. The fact that Editor Reed published his paper two days ahead of time in order to get away on important busi- ness gave a color of likelihood to the report Should this rumor prove to be we'll founded, and there are many facts to give 1t credence, we cannot forbear to extend to brother Reed the right hand of fellowship and wish him every success in his new field. The people of Ka abarker are to be congratulated on securing such a public spirited and pro- gressive citizen, and we bespeak for Mir. Reed their hearty CO., operation in his efforts in their behalf. In removing from our midst Mir. Reed takes with him the good will of all, for he has at all times conducted his paper to the best of his ability. An orna- ment to his chosen profession, he has always been first in every good word and work.

The foundation is being prepared for the sidewalk on the south side of the street almost all the way from Imperial ave nue to the depot and we learn that the work of laying the sidewalk will not be delayed. The nice walk in front of the Andre property at the corner of Eighth and streets is good piece of work and we learn the entire block to Inn periaI avenue will soon be put down.

ing Of unusual prayers he had heard.
One was made by a young lawyer
who, through innate pity or from a
desire to advance his political FOR
tunes by being identified with the
church, besought the preacher to call
on him for prayer in the weekly prayer
meeting. Suspceting that politics and
not piety was at the bottom of the
lawyers desire to pray in public, the
preacher did not call on him until one
rainy night, when the attendance was
sim. Then Brother III. being asked
to lead in prayer began his supple
