report to Congress not having as yet been received by us, no in- telligent comment thereon can be made. It may be ill some re- spect drastic, but the complaint with which we are afflicted is one that requires drastic treat ment. It was necessary to over whelm the Apostles of Greed, with the utter futility of their attempt to play Uncle Samuel for a sucker.
 Let the people have patience and remain firm i'll their resolve for government ownership. The path of progress can not be per manently stayed by selfish inter- ests. A lew more blows may have to be dealt those wllo would defeat the public welfare for their inordinate gain.
 It is to be hoped, however, that such will not be the case and that no more object lessons will have to be administered before the sway of reason returns. Let no man, nor set of men, stand in the way of the doctrine of public ownership of public utilities, for unless his position be fair and just he will be crushed under the onward march of civilization.

A GREAT FUTURE
View Of An Outside Newspaper Man Of Imperial Valley

Indeed there is none richer for plant
 lie anywhere and it had earned its old putation as desert because it had no rail-fall to speak of at any time of year and therefore no ordinary plant life rould grow upon it at all. On some two
 undred thousand or more acres this has been overcome by the great canal system of the California Development Company, comprising several hundred miles of main canals and latterals, hich really and in very truth have already made "the desert to blossom as the rose"
 Another curious thing about this country is that it IS about all below sea level. The town of Imperial is sixty nine feet below sea level and from here gradually toward the north and away from the Colorado river to the line of the Southern Pacifcat Salton, the coun- try gradually slopes downward to q con siderable over two hundred feet below sea level.
 In other words, to make this pencil sketch more graphic, if a canal were cut through the great plain of sedimentary deposit, placed here by the Colorado during the past ages, from the Gulf of California mort inward some seventy miles into this svalley, an inland sea would be formed that would be siXty-nine feet deep at Imperial and over two hundred feet deep at the deepest place mentioned above on the line of the railroad. It is from this new wonderland of our won drriu California that the "Imperial Press" comes to our table and we shall sean it's columns closely each week in the future in order to keep tab on the progress and development of this great new fertile country of the sonthland.- Mountain Echo.

A PREACHER IN POLITICS

A man of the gospel, well known to people of the Valley, forsook his calling and boldly entered into the election of dlrec- tors of Water Company No. 1, which was held last week in lm- perial. One Andrew AcAllen, d Methodist pastor from the bor- der town of CaleXicO, is the per sonage.
 Not content i'll feeding his lit tie flock with the word of life, as was the mission his profession demanded of him, he took hand in politics and in addresses, un- called for, miSconStrued the mo- tives of the pcople ill order that he might find favor with the "king and be counted among his friends" The golden rule" which is the basic principle of the doctrine he breaches, was not practiCed, but utterly forgotten bv him. The motions and reso- lutions offered by him were view ed with disgust by fair minded, well-mea1ing people.
 The preacher may preach, the politician may plan, but one has no part in the others calling.

The Imperial press., 1905-01-21

We welcome to our rXchang" table this week the "lmperial PRESS ruh lished at Imperial, San Diego county. California. The town of Imperial was laid out less than five years ago and is the central metropolis of what is now known as the Imperial Valley. Previ- ous to the year 1000 this valley was a sort of terra inc"gnita, known as the great desert of the Colorado, across which it WAS dangerous for one tu attempt to travel by any method except on the cars of the Southern Pacific over land, which travrrsrs it from Banning, at the eastern foot"f the San Brrnu rdin" range of mountains to Iurra nl our state boundary on the C"lorado river. The great danger to travellers was caused by the entire absence of water and the fact that there was an almost complete dearth of grass or vegetation of any kind, the sun beating upon the bare, brked earth good pait of the year with the we'll known frrvent heat of our interior valleys.
 Into this valley since the date given above, d large canal running deep with water has been brought from the Culor- ado river, just below Yuma, and Io! The desert has been changed to d garden of wonderful fertility wherever these waters have come into contact with the euil This has resulted in the erstwhile desert being rapidly settled with farmers from all parts of the country and no less than six towns have already sprung up iIe chief and most central of which is the town Gf Imperial, from whence comes our new exchange, the "Imperial Press. '"
 During our trip south last fall we visited this valley and we could not help but be strongly impressed with the fact that this country has great future before it and is destined to become the richest and most flourishing part of Southern California. Our reason for SO thinking is that this great valley, that reminds one, in extent, of the San Joaquin valley about Fresno, is all made, sediment land, deposited here during the past countless ages by the muddy waters of the Colorado river. It is therefore as fertile soil as can be found anywhere on earth.
