The presence of the clown Is approprl. ate and Is desired with most circus acts, and again thers are some features which would be ruined if they were allowed to be clowned. There are number of such acts with the Floto show this year. The merit and re- markable character of certain acts would be destroyed by anything in the comic line.

Some Needs of the Imperial Farmer
 Who Will Supply Them

An Irish potato that will produce well In this climate, the writer believes, can be produced by the same process that first class potatoes were produced for the colder climates. To do this means an outlay of considerable money and much time and careful study by some one adapted to that kind of work with a chance of failure after he has done his best, and little, scarcely any reward for his pains if he succeeds.
 A man sits down and devises new kind of ''quick"pnt-on" pants button and society grants him monopoly of his idea for fourteen years, that is if any one wants to make and use that kind of a button. During that time the inventor is given right to charge a royalty. But if a Luther Burbank comes to Imperial Valley, brings with him seed enough to plant out say five acres of seedling potatoes, pays all the expense, devotes his watchful care to the plot, and out of the lot gets hil of potatoes that he wants, then cher ishes that lnll there some years until he gets enough to spare some, he will only sell at good price once, and thel. but few sacks. All his investment, his pains, his study and patient care taking have become public property. Now who is there desires Co devote him- self to such task with such Lul- imitation.
 If the public, whose property this new variety of Irish potato will become when it is produced, will stand the ex- pense and assume the risk and then advertise for the man who will supply the human skill and patience necessary to the successful development they may be sure they will have long line of men or the country to choose from.
 What has been said of the Irish pOtatO can also be said of the peach, apricot, apple, tomato and other fruits and vege- tables which have been developed to suit quite different environments than are found in this Valley.
 We farmers need an experiment sta tion that will experiment. as we'll as to take the results of our experiment and help to make them public property.
 The writer believes that this work should be financed by the public for the benefit of the public or when private enterprise has brought out what the public generally will be benefited by, such enterprise should be suitably re- warded,

To Stockholders of Imperial Water
 Company No. s

Company No. s
 At q Stockholders Meeting held De. cember 28, 1904, It wa5 unanimously voted that No, 3 should build wasty' way at No, 5 Heading to protect itself against the food waters of the Salton Channel. Several engineers have been consulted on the subject and plans pre' pared by l.. Frle, with Mir. Leonard snd Flnkel as consulting engineers, for cement wsste.way, Mir. Ftlel made two trips to No. water system and Mir. Flnkel made one trip looking over the situation. They dnally agreed upon plan for a structure. The work oil that same structure, to be made of con' crete, would have begun within three days more had it not happened that the break In the main canal of No. system caused the California Develop ment Company to turn a flood of wHtet down the ealton Channel and wash out the dam at No. 8 heading. This stream of water increased until more than 100000 inches were flowing. The pro. Liabilities were that water could not be shut off 50 that the dam could be re- constructed and No. 5. receive water In less than six weeks, By that time our crops would either be dead or ripe. As an expedient we obtained about 1900 inches of water regularly through No. 7 canal. This furnished stock water and some for irrigation.
 The California Development Com. pany informed us that it had decided to abandon No. s heading and dig a canal from SEarps down to No. 5 main canal. First, they would dig with horses a temporary canal having ca- pacity of 5000 inches of water, and immediately follow that canal with the steam dredger digging good, deep canal fifty feet wide. If this canal proves satisfactory there will be no occasion for us to build the contemp pla- ted waste way. A wasteway must be built extending from the canal to the Salton channel but 1t need not be near ly az expensive as the other.
 The California Development Com pany, with great expedition, built a canal nearly nine miles long within ten days, the fastest record oil canal work In Imperial Valley. Over one hundred four-horse teams were employed. Last Saturday night the water was turned in this new canal. few days must be consumed in dalnming up the channel leading from Sharp's before full head of water can be run in this new canal. shall take the liberty of naming this new canal, the "Rockwood Canal"
