ANOTHER KENDALL BANK.
Will Be Started by the Bank Of Fer
gus County,

Cashier Frank K. Wright returned
home last evening from Kendall,
where he spent a couple of days COM
pleting arrangements for the opening
of a bank. The Weaver building, near
MatlOcks store, was leased for the
purpose, and the bank will be open
for business next Friday. A name for
the institution has not yet been de-
cided upon. but F. X. DOlenty, the
well known Townsend banker, has ac-
cepted the position of cashier, and is
now here. While the new bank will
be run as an independent institution,
the control of the stock rests with the
directors of the Bank OF eFrgus Coun-
ty. The capital stock will be fixed
at $4,000.
This will give Kendall two very
strong banks, the First National of
this city, having completed arrange
ments for opening branch at the
camp. Felix May, of st. Paul. who
was also planning to open bank in
the camp. will quit the field. it is I'M
derstoOd, not feeling sure that Ken
dali is yet ready to support three such
institutions.

ness, these gentlemen have not worked for Hr. Heber's interests 1t does not follow that they are endeavoring ''to feather their own nests," nor "build up for themselves an autocracy." 1t IS inconceivable that department of our government, having charge of interests as all-important as the Reclamation Service, should be presided over by men capable of such meanness as MT. Heber charges. Our faith in the ln- tegrity of our government and its officials will not be shaken by charges, unsupported by even suggestion of proof, no. mat ter who makes them. Corpora tions endeavor to get the largest possible return for the least in- vestnent, and their operations may, or may not be consistent with the public welfare. The Reclamation Services work is to furnish water to lands at cost and to build up homes for the million i'll all our arid dom ain, and no one can truthfully say their operations conflict with the public welfare.

Dairymen's Association

Monday afternoon, February 13, 1905, an Imperial Valley Dairyman's Asso- citation was organized at Heber. There are between thirty and forty dairymen in the Valley and the meeting was well attended.
 Dairying has scarcely commenced in our fertile Valley. A year ago the dairies could be counted upon the fingers of one hand. The business here is only in the bud; and with the climate, soil and water which here abound, we may, and undoubtedly will be the leading dairy section in the state. Here where we can produce feed cheaply and in abundance the year around, the man who keeps COWS and manages ntelligently may in few years be independent.
 There are many Dairymen's Asso- citations throughout the country, all organized for the mutual benefit and welfare of the dairymen and dairy in- terests and it is hoped that every dairy man within the bounds of this Valley will lose no time in becoming mem Der and help move the work along. Follow ing is the list of members:
 V. K. Brooks, Vanderpool Bros, H.. J. Fuller, D. R. Kyle, Thos. Beach, Wm. H. Allen, Chas. r. Perry, w. E. Wilsie, H. McKusick, Pier Bros.

sent of the Mexican government. Should the United States attempt to purchase this property and concession, and MT. Heber attempt to transfer the same, 1t would work forfeiture of the conces- sion and all the property of the Mexican company, including their canals, lands, structures, rights of way, and everything else would be confscated by the Mexican government. Suppose the government had agreed to the propositions of MT. Heber and the conservatives" of the Water Users Assoc;a tion, and had bought MT. Heber's concession and Mexican property, what would be the state of affairs to- day? The Imperial Valley far mers would find themselves abso- lutely without any right to run their water supply through Mex ico, and the United States would have to negotiate treaty with Mexico, and congress would have to pass a bill authorizing the ex- penditure of money outside of the United States to meet this case, before the matter could be reme- died. We believe the govern- ment is going at this matter in the right way, that the necessary legislation is now being consid- cred by congress, that the the treaty with Mexico is progress ing, and that as soon as it is pos sible for 1t to do so the govern- ment will acquire the necessary right of way through Mexican territory to bring water for the complete reclam ation of all the irrigable lands i'll the Imperial Valley.

MT. HEBER TO WASHINGTON

Hon. A. H. Heber, president of the California Development Company, left for Washington Saturday, February II. It is reported that he went to lend his assistance in getting the legal obstacles removed so that the sale of his irrigation system to the government may be consumated. We hope this is true, for if it is, 1t means that the much discussed and fiercely contested question of price has been amicably adjusted, and that government ownership will be but matter of getting the necessary treaty and legisla- tion to legalize the transaction and make everything safe for Uncle Sam and the people.

OUR WATER STOCK
Continued from Page l

Fourth. The water users are organized into mutual water companies, to distrib- ute the water delivered to them by the California Development Go. among their members.
 Fifth. The price to be paid the Cali4 fornia Development Company, for water delivered, is fixed by contract at 5O cents per acre foot and the quantity limited to four acre feet per acre per annum.
 Sixth. The mutual water company transfers to the California Development Company all of it's capital stock, in con- sideration for which the California De- velopment Company constructs dis tributing ditch system for said mutual water company.
 Seventh. The California Development Company sells the stock of said mutual water company for from $20 to $25 per acre according to terms, and per cent interest on all deferred payments.
 Eighth. The California Development Compan constructs distributing sys- tenn for the mutual water companies, in payment for all of the capital stock of said mutual water com panies.
 Ninth. All the deferred payments for unpaid balance on the water stock are secured by mortgages on the lands on which the water stock is issued and draw interest at 6 per cent per annum.
 From careful reading of the quota tions above given, and the latest state ments of Mir. Heber, it will be seen that his position in regard to water stock, exactly corresponds with that of the United States Reclamation Service.
 Both agree that the right to the water in the river belongs to the irrigator who uses it on his desert farm, and both agree that the California Development Com pany is a common carrier of water, serving the mutual water companies of the Imperial Valley with water and col lecting compensation for the service rendered. They both also agree that the water stock, being the stock of the mu. tual water company, can represent noth- ing more than the property of the mutual water company, which is it's system of distributing canals. These facts should greatly simplify the matter of determining just wherein the inter- ests of the people of Imperial Valley call for cooperation with the California De- velopment Company.

Perfect Confidence

Where there used to be feeling of uneasiness and worry in the household when child shows symptoms of croup, there is now perfect confidence. This is owing to the uniform success of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in the treatment of that disease. Mrs. M. I.

Last week MT. Heber sent to each of the newspapers in the Imperial Valley signed address to the people, and requested it's publication. On Thursday we were requested by MT. K. D. McPherrin, to not publish this address, as it was felt by MT.
 Heber's friends that such a move was in bad taste, and so in the interest of harmony, also out of respect to the Reclamation Serv- ice officials, we kept the matter out of our columns. Judge of our surprise to find the sald address published last week in all three of the California Develop ment Company organs, and most of their space devoted to its dis cussion. We regret very much that in this address, MT. Heber has seen fit to make statements reflecting on the integrity and honesty of the officials of the Reclamation Service, If, in the conduct of the governments busi-

WHY THE GOVERNMENT CAN'T BUY HEBER'S MEXICAN
 CONCESSIONS

Articles 25-26 of the contract between the Republic of Mexico and MT. Heber's Mexican cor poration granting the concession for taking water out of the Colo rado river in Mexico and bring Ing it through that country to the United States, reads as follows:
 "This contract shall have no force if the deposit ($1O, ,OO0) is not made within the time fixed ill the foregoing article 6 days) and shall become extinct by the following reasons:
 1. For not beginning the work of surveying and construction of the works and by not finishing the same in the term fixed in articles seventh and eighth.
 2. For not making use of the waters in a term ol ten conseCu- tive years.
 3. By the transfer of this con- tract to an individual or corpora ton without the previous permit of the Secretary of Development.
 4. By the transfer or mortgage of this contract and the conces- sions herein contained, to gov ernment or Foreign State.
 Art. 20. If the cancellation of this contract shall take place by the reasons set forth in para graphs 1 and 4 of the foregoing article, the company grantee shall lose the deposit made and the concessions and especial grants hereby made to it in this contract in article Forth and in those related to it, it being in force only in what refers to Arti- cle First.
 In the case Set forth in para graph third the company grantee shall lose the deposit and the concession and especial grants made to it in this contract.
 In the case set forth in pal a. graph Second the company gran tee shall lose the deposit and the concessions and especial grants made to it in this contract.
 If the cancellation should take place by the reasons expressed in paragraph Fourth, the company shall incur the loss of all its rights, estates and properties of any kind related with this con- tract"
 1t will be seen from the fore going, that as matters uow stand the United States is forbidden to purchase the California Devel- Opment Company's Mexican con cession and property. Nor could said property and concession be sold to anyone without the con-
