Orpheum Theatre.

The beautiful rural comedy, "Our
JIM" was presented at the Orphcum
theatre last night by the Orpheum
stock company. A large crowd was in
attendance and was not slow in mani.
Testing its appreciation. "Our jim" Is
a very strong rural comedy, inter
spersed with tender and touching pa.
thos. New England rural life is wildly
depicted in this piece. From this very
beautiful lesson may be drawn as to
how little thing through mistak, n
identity may crystalline into mon
ster power for evil. The thief, through
his own cunning connivance, assisted by
circumstances may and often does force
innocence and honesty to the CORY bic ok
of hatred and contempt leaving in its
trail naught but gloomy clouds Of sor-
row and despair. And again when the
thief repents the clouds Of darkness
vanish like mist before the rising sun,
and peace and felicity are again restor.

THE rapid decline in the flood waters and the feeling of assur- ance that this great menace Is a thing of the past has had marked effect Ill encouraging and reassuring our people. It was feared for time that the long continued flow of surplus water through our country might break over it's levees and banks and do great damage to the farms.
 And then, no one knew how much longer it was going to rise, nor how high 1t was going. But now that the Colorado river Is back to its normal stage and the flood waters from Volcano Lake have ceased, the water iii New river and Salton are rapidly sub siding. The work of the Cali l fornia Development Company is proving successful and the dam they are constructing to divert the rivers flow from the lower Mexican intake will doubtless be completed i'll a few days and ther

Latest News From tfe Overflow


 The news from the overflow is all to the good this week. The Colorado river is down to twenty one feet which means that the total flow of that stream is about 17,5OO cubic feet of water per second. The overflow has fallen until there IS no more water coming into New river from Volcano Lake and that stream is falling very rapidly It reached it's highest stage on July 12, when 1t was thirteen feet seven inches deep l720 feet wide and carrying 13, 655 second feet of water at Calexieo. On July 20 this had fallen to thirteen feet deep 1850 feet wide and a total discharge of 1l974 cubic feet per second, decline for the week in this stream alone of ches of water. The Alamo had also fallen 628 second feet or from a total discharge of 4128 second feet on July 13 to $500 second feet on July 20, making total decline in the two rivers of 1883 cubic feet of water per second, or in round numbers one hundred thousand miners inches during the week. Mir. Hardy, the U. s. Photographer, also investigated the break of the Main canal of ImperiaF Water Company No. and the water tllat was flowing across the country near Signal mountain and joining the flood in New river near Sils- bee. He found evidences that there had been a large volume Of water rum ming there short time ago, but it had subsided to d flow of 325 cubic feet per second and no doubt will cease entirely in a few days. Mir. Hardy Is fully con- vinced that during the extreme stage of the flood more than ,000 cubic feet of water per second was running through our country and finding it's way to the Saton sea- Tine fact that it had declined to 15,OO0 second feet by July 20 and is subsiding with an accele- rating pace with each passing day proves that the flood is over and all danger to the farms is past The latest report from the California Development Company was that they expected to have the dam they are building com pleted in two days which will divert almost all of the water now flowing through the lower Mexican intake and will cause the surplus water now run ming in this Valley to subside at once. The next week should see the end of the flood flow and return to normal supply of water flowing in our Valley Al

OUTRAGE ON AN AMERICAN

There is an American citizen incarcerated iu all improvised box car jail just over the line in MexiCali, whose case certainly IS deserving of attention at the hands of the authorities of this great Republic. This man has been held in this vile place now for more than seven months, WITHOUT A TRIAL and without any opportunity to prove his innocence of the charge against him. He was arrested early !n last December, accused of having stolen pair of shoes worth per haps seventy-five cents. He stoutly maintains that he bought the shoes, but despite his offers to prove h1s innocence he is DENIED THE RIGHT and kept in a place so vile and vermin in- fested as to defy description and only allowed ONE MEAL A DAY.
 There has been a great deal of cheap and silly talk about the brotherly feeling between OUT Nation and Mexico, but we fail to see any evidences of it in their treatment of this man. It has also gone forth that Uncle Sam has now become a world power and his citizens would be pro- tected and their rights respected. We also fail to see the evidences of 1t iii this case. The American consul at Ensenada has been appealed to and every effort made to secure a trial for this man that he may prove his innocence and clear himself of the charge against him. but all to no effect. The foul and vile box-car jail in which he is confined Is veritab ble inferno, shut up as it is during our hot days, and the man is simply being murdered by inches. His health is utterly ruined, he is reduced to a skeleton by the torture he has endured and is enduring, but nothing seems to move either our government or the Mexican authorities to take any action to accord to this man the simplest, basic right on whicI all liberty rests, that of being tried f0c tie crime of which he IS accused. 1t IS just such out rages as these that sometimes lead meu with hearts and Sympa- thieS to do things which lead to international complications, and we hope action will be taken by our government to secure justice for this man, and that Mexico will wake up from her foul leth- aroy and accord the accused the trial he IS entitled to before the feeling engeudered by this flag rant outrage shall have further exasperated the American people.
 If our citizens are to be arrest ed on flimsy or trumped up charges, incarcerated in living hells, and denied the right of trial till their lifes are simply tortured out Of them right under our noses and within 300 yards of the American line, If the un. speakable tyranny of Mexican oficialdom is to be so aagrantly Haunted in our faces, how can they expect the American people to believe their protestations o' liberty and fraternity.
 The officials of our govern llent, too, have certainly beer careless in the discharge of thei duties, or this matter would hay been atteudee to and this Amerl can citizen accorded justice.

SUMMER WEATHER IN IMPERIAL
 AND NEW YORK

It Is with feelings of unmixed sympathy that we 1mperlalltes read ot the terrible sufferings of the poor heat tortured people of the Eastern and New England states and cities during the past few weeks. While here we are revelling in the finest kind of springlike weather, able to do big days work every day and enjoy blessed refreshing sleep every night, there these poor benighted dwellers of the effete east are suffering, swelterlng and dying from the excruciating, Suffocating and prostrating heat. New York City seems to have been the centre of this inferno, several hundred people having died from the heat there within the past three weeks and more than a thousand prostrated, many of whom will not recover their health for years, perhaps never.
 While this season of suffering and harvest of death was hold ing high carnival in the eastern and New England cities, Inper- 1al Valley has had no cause to complain of the heat III any way. Aside from the fact that our thermometer readings are meas ureably higher at the same sensible temperature owing to our extremely dry atmosphere, and that ninety degrees in the shade in the east afflicts it's resi- dents worse than 12O does the Imperial Valley people, it is fact that for more than ten days the thermometer actually ranged higher in New York City than 1t did the same day at Imperial. For a number of days the ther- mometer has not registered above 100 degrees in this Valley, which Is dS pledSdHC as seventy uegreeS would be in the east, while on the same days it was 1O4 degrees in New York City. Imperial Valley climate is regarded by those who don't know, as being too hot to tolerate, but to those of us who have tested it's virtues and enjoyed its blessings, it is a perpetual source of health and happiness. And if any of us were offered the alternative of Imperial Valley with it's pleasant breezy summer weather or New York City with its horrible tor lures of heat, it would take six of the biggest bulls in Wall Street hitched in one team to drag us from our beloved Valley.
