by the joint committee of the Senate and house wiich will visit the west this summer to examine the irrigation projects now under way by the U. S. Reclamation Service, and incidentally to look over the general irrigation out look in the arid region. This joint committee is composed of the following members, Senators F. M. Warren of Wyoming, H. c. Hansbrough cf North Dakota, Levi Ankeny, of Washington, c. w. Fulton of Oregon, J. w. Bailey of Texas, T. M. Patterson of Colorado, Paris Gibson of Montana, A. P. German of Maryland and Francis G. Newlands ofNevada and Chairman F. w. Mondell and the members of the House Com mit,ee on Irrigation.
 These gentlemen are expected to arrive at Yuma, Arizona, on June 9, at 3 35 a. m. and will drive out to the Laguna dam site in the morning, and in the afternoon take a trip down the Col orado river on steamer. On June 10 they will leave Yuma at :55 a. m. arriving at Old Beach at 5:32 and will there take the train into the I'm perial Valley, and will go to Calexco, Holt vile ana Imperial, spending the day in our Valley, leaving on the 4:10 train from Imperial and going to Los Angeles On June II the party will make special trip to Redands and Riverside and spend the day sight seeing around the kite shaped track.

 We regret very much that more time is not allotted to the Imperial Valley, but the shortness of the time makes it all the more important that every opportunity be given these gentlemen to acquaint themselves with irrigation conditions in this Valley. These are the men who will have to do with the making of the laws under which the waters of the Colorado river will be controlled after the treaty with Mexico is negotiated and goes into effect, and may be called upon to legistate on matters of very great importance to our people.
 It is therefore of the utmost impor- tance that they be told frankly what the hopes and aspirations of our people are, and what we feel we should be accorded in the way of recognition, both for our capital invested and our prior rights aquired to the use of the waters of the Colorado river. The bona fide settlers and actual users of the water are the people whose interests and rights should be the first thought of our law makers in an operation of this kind and there are nnm Der of reasons why this should be the case in Imperial Valley, which, perhaps might not apply in some other instances.
 We trust that our people may have an opportunity to bring these points to the attention of our distinguished visitors during the time they are in our

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The desk of our late friend, Frank
McGugin, has been draped as token
of respect to the departed.
The high school was dismissed at
noon Monday SO that the school might
attend, in a body, the funeral OF our
late cassmate, Frank McGugin.
The editors of the different papers
for the next six weeks have recently
been chosen as follows: Dakotan, Miss
Lucinda Morse: the Capital-Journal
Francis Greenough; the Free Press,
Donald II. Rose.
One of the sophomore girls has tried
to drown her troubles by dropping
some of her text books in the WATERFALL.
The freshmen are elated over their
new organ, which arrived the latter
part of last week.
The seats in the recitation room have
been changed to the opposite side,
owing to the heat from the steam pipe.
Halloween passed off with only a
few sign boards being placed on the
school house lawn. The usual block
aiding of the entrance was refrained
from, owing to an unknown guard.
