Not as now you live in shack and your master who works hard to keep you from seeing how he works you, lives in a palatial residence not ill the dis comforts but where conveniences for his enjoyment have been built. You had better learn to enjoy your work or buck that saddle off from your back.

IMPERIAL VALLEYS GREATNESS
Continued from Page l

abundance than anywhere else, and all we ask is for the people to come and see and be convinced.
 Imperial Valley is ready to be seen, and if any one visits us now, and stays away four years before coming again he will be more surprised next time than he would be this time, for before another four years pass there will be an Imperial county, and perhaps two more through railroads across the Valley. The Holton Power Company will have completed their works, and electric railways will carry people to all parts of the Valley. There will be many thousands of acres of vineyards, orchards and gardens; grain raising will be thing of the past, the grain warehouses will be packing houses for melons, grapes and fruit.
 There will be at least 15O,O0 acres of alfalfa growing in this Valley and the shipment of fat stock to market will be at least three trainloads per day. These prophecies are not made by any rule of proportlonate increase as comparing four years ago with the present, and carrying it forward on the same ratio. They are made with full knowledge of the immensity of the achievements involved, but also with a full knowledge that this Valley is on the threshold of a revolution in its economic develop ment.
 We confidently predict that this Valley will never again have water shortage, that much closer and entirely friendly relations will be established between the people of the Valley and the California Development Company and that as a result of that fact the various Imperial Water Companies will become active factors in the upbuilding of this Valley and the California De- velopment Company be benefited and strengthened in the outcome.
 If the California Development Com pany finds the work of development too vast, let it get the various water com panies to help. Seven or eight com panies can do work faster than one. There is an immense amount of work to do, the canal system must be com pleted, the Colorado river must be curbed and it's waters controlled. A division of labor will make it not only possible; it will make all these things certain, and with a proper basis of un- derstanding and cooperation, each working in his own sphere, Imperial Valley need never know another day of gloom.

Has a Home But No Soil

you Socialists and adopted through Socialist commonwealth, would it be possible to travel or would we be obliged to stay in one place all the time?
 2d. own my home, not much to be sure, but better than paying rent, would l be allowed to retain it, and if l wanted to go elsewhere how could l dispose of it?
 3rd. Don't you think there would be a great deal of dissatisfaction if all the people had to live in houses alike?
 You may answer through the columns of the PRESS, but don't use my name, as my employer is so opposed to Social ism he would likely find cause to dis miss me. I cannot afford to be idle long.
 1st Travel is such luxury at the present time that most people are obliged to do without it and must stay in one place all the time. No education can be called complete without the lessons which travel gives and as the complete education of all the young will develop upon society as whole it follows that every youth will get some travel at least. Again what is it that prevents you from travelling all you wish now? No doubt it is small wages and large railroad fare. Suppose you were to get large wages and rail- road fare was one fourth of what it is now. or less, do you think you would be obliged to stay in one place all the time? There is no reason why travel should not increase immeasurably as soon as it can be had for cost and there are reasonable safeguards thrown around the traveller.
 2d. There is no reason why you should not retain your home except that reason lay with yourself. E. backus when he was on the Appeal to Reason staff about five years ago, col lected the data (basing on the then cost of production of the various mater ials) for the cost of five room cottage with all modern equipments practically indestructab The cost was 500 days work. Such cottage as calculated would stand indefinately. Not less then 500 years. This would make the first cost one days work per year plus the cost of maintenance, this last will attach to your home now. If you could get modern five room cottage to live in for the additional cost of one days work per year, imagine your shack that you have now would not hold you long inasmuch as you could occupy it as long as you lived if you wanted to and you cannot occupy your present one any longer. However if you desired your present one you would be allowed to keep it and mortgage could never take it from you, and should you de- sire to remove you would simply notify the department that had such matters in charge, that you would vacate your present quarters and make your selec- tion of what was on hand in the place you wished to go.
 Sd. What got you to thinking that under Socialism all the houses would be alike. There are families of six to ten and others of but two people; each of

The board met in regular session Wednesday evening and the following members were present: President Edgar, Trustees Varney, Preble, Hawes, Clerk Morrison and Marshal Meadows.

 The question was discussed how to get Mr. Hopkins back to Imperial as a wit ness on the case against the Imperial Drug Company. The witness has dis appeared, and it was rumored that he was on the road to Yuma. The mar shal was instructed to get him, if possi- ble.
 The tree planting proposition was taken up next. The trees are all in the city and men are at work planting them. They are planting two different varieties of trees, viz: Lombardy and Carolina poplars, and the question of irrigating and cultivating them was thoroughly Marshal Meadows was finally instructed to look after the irrigating and cutivating proposition.
 The sidewalk question was then taken up, and on motion the clerk was in- structed to enter into an agreement with the property owners on both sides of Eighth street from one block west of

Some Improvements

w. F. Holt. who recently purchased the ice and electric light plant at Im- perial informs THE PRESS that the work is nearly done on the new ice house and that there will be an abundant sup ply of ice on hand for the summer demand. He also stated that com mencing about the 18th of the present month, the Imperial power plant will be run eighteen hours day, from 6 a. m., to 12 p. m. There will probably be number of motors put in to use the power during the day, and when the warmer weather comes a large num- Der of electric fans will be put ill.
 There will also be reduction, under the new management, in the price of wiring premises, as only the actual cost of material and time will be charged. No charge will hereafter be made for connecting premises already wired by owners with the service.

II. F. Baker, who has charge of the street grading outfit, started work on Imperial avenue Thursday. They ex- pect to finish the work by next week. Imperial can then boast of the finest streets in the Valley.
 The concert given by tue Band was a success both socially and financially. After the concert, those present n- dulged in lunch and tehn an hour and a half dance was enjoyed. The same concert will be given at Brawley Feb. 9.
 The "sluff" fends are all at large. It's probably best, for shouting in your sleep those fatal words "I frog" "little one" "dink," etc., and then trying to pan them off on your wife as pass words to some secret organization, don't always work.
 The city trustees are taking time by the fore-lock in buying hose and organ izing a fire company. It shows that Cney dTo interested III Un0 SaI6UV or our town, and not waiting until the horse is stolen before putting lock upon the stable door.

The sixteenth annual session Of the
Trans Mississippi Commercial congress
will meet in Portland, Ore, Aug. 16 to
49, The cooperation of commercial bod
les thruout the country is desired In or
der to make this convention a success.
Business men of Portland will under
take to give the delegation who attend
the congress a cordial welcome. The
commercial interests of the trans Missis-
sippi states are Of great Importance and
community of interest and the Coop
Grafton of all forms of activity in the
commercial world is desired. A conven-
ton of this kind is calculated to con-
tribute materially to the promotion of
these mutual interests
The holding of the convention at Port
land suggests that special attention will
be given to the promotion of the COM
mercial interests Of this country in the
orient. The far east is an inviting field
for commercial expansion and no part Of
the country is more deeply interested in
this trade expansion than that part of it
covered by the representatives in the
Trans Mississippi Commercial congress
1t will doubtless be greatly to the advan-
tage of Minneapolis to be represented in
this meeting. IT.. +
