MILD excitement has been caus- ed in our town the past week or more by the talk of d new town to be started at the railroad june tion three and a-half miles south. Coupled with the rumor came the announcement that Imperial
 Water Company No. would not proceed with their building for fear that if the ne~ town be- came the central, great town of the Valley and the county seat.
 some time in the future the pre-; . ent Board of Directors might be censured for spending the com psny's money uuwisely. This announcement caused veritable stampede in certain quarters and for a few days some individuals were little short of ''daffy".

IMPERIAL Is PROHIBITION

The result Of the vote on the question of saloons or no saloons taken last Monday, resulted sixty SIX against license to thirty-Seven for license. We regard this yer dict as one of the most important things ever done in Imperial. Hereafter there will be no ques- tioning where this community stands on this question. The effort of some of our citizens who hold themselves among the -four hundred" to guise the license issue with responsibility by yot- ing for license has been properly rebuked and these parties and the whiskey paper can now under stand that this community will not be debauched. And now that the manhood of our town has asserted itself, let the trim mers and truckers subside, and let the law be enforced and our community clear itself of the stain of tolerating liquor sell ling. In the outcome of this election the PRESS feels a per sonal qualification.
 During the campaign there was never any uncertainty as to what we stood for nor was there any hesitancy in advocating the purity and progress of our city. To know that our position IS en- dorsed by our citizens at the Iatio of two to one is veiy gratifying to us, and we feel that to the loyal friends of the progress and best interests of our town and Valley we owe our continued best endeavors.

The Excursion from Los Angeles

The excursion from Las Angeles last Tuesday brought iu sixty-nVe people to see our Valley for themselves and judge from actual observations Ui our wonder Iul growth. QuIte a sprinklIug ot men, wrll-knuwn iu the financial world, was amuug the crowd as we'll as farmers, stuc.. men and hUnesrekcrs. They were all taken im hand by the Imperial Land Co. aud the other real estate Iict.- aud shown over the Valley. Most oi them stAved several days, and have given the crops aud our Valleys re- sources Il careful examination. To man they express surprise a"d adniifA' ton nt th,. crops and the wonderful Ter tiIity ui our lands. Seeing is believing and the crops HOW tu be seen thoroughly dlspTuvr the stories of alkAli heretofore circulated. and the careful examinations and reports ut the Reclamation Service shogs tn. Colorado river will furnish abundant water for all the lands Irriga- blr from Il, and it is but tO be expected that level headed business men should quickly see iu Imperial Valley splen- did field for investment. We regard these excursions As the bcginuInR ot better times m our Valley, and look for a marked revival fl not Il return, OH solid basis oi developed worth, to tie active state of business that Ouce existed in this Valley when water stock WAS be- lieved tu be water rights and all values were OH a speculative basis. We under stand that these excursions will be run every two weeks, under the auspices of The Imperial Land Co.,, and that "A representative of this company will have charge of each excursion. Among those whom we noticed on this excnr- sion were the following: From Los Amgelcs--E. C. ShellhOrn, F. II. True, F.. s Prousc, \. BontliO, II. T. Dam forth, l.. J. Christopher, W. HOllister, ..

 The special election for the purpose ui ascertaining the sentiment ui the voters ui Imperial Uii-the question of whether saloons shall he licensed or not was held On last Monday. The fact that the great register used at the last clcction governed in deciding who should vote. caused heavy falling off iu the vote cast. but as all but i've W ho were in town and quail lied voter. cast their ballots, it can not le said llat the expression was not full. The rule seemed tn be to vote early, 70 votes being cast by noun. The ladies held open house in the bOoth kindly fuT- nished them by NIT. Kelly of the nursery company. across the street from the polling place. There they dispensed free lemonade and white ribbons and distributed prohibition literature. How ever. the factor oi personal work was practically absent. there being nn excite ment, aud very little discussion, every citizen seeming determined to vote fnr what he believed right, and to let every one else do the same. Early tn the day IL was concrtiei that license would be defeated. and before the polls clo~ed the feeling that the vote would be very nearly two to one for prohibition WAS quite general. 80 when the result was known, there was a general gool natured acauirscense and the feeling was general that now the blind pigs, and boot leggers must go and the druggists must sell no liquor otherwise than as prescribed in the city ordinance.

"PLOW DEEP AND SOW AL
 FALFA"

Brigham Young, the man who led the greatest movement of pioneers into a desert land that has taken place since the days of Moses, condensed the wisdom of his advice to these people in their new homes to the terse and forceful phrase that we have sell ected for our topic. We believe that much of Brigham Young's doctrine applies with equal force to the settlers of Imperial Valley; and is just as good advice to our people as it was to the stout hearted pioneers of Utah. To them if came with all the force of an eleventh commandment. for in their theology the man who uttered these words was acc

 leader and law-giver.
 While there Is no authority either secular or profanc, tha' can direct the settlers of lmpcr ial Valley, as Young directed his Utah followers, still as out people are of the most wide awake class of Americans; they can b, depended upon to accept fact: when once established. So thai we say, blow deep and SOW alfal ia. will bc the slogan from now hcnccforth. Of course we do mol say SOW alfalfa out of season, nor do we insist on the depth that the blowing shall bc done, but we do say to out farmers, both present and prospective, SOW alfalfa.
 IL is the greatest all round crop ever produced m an arid region. II IS the greatest produc- CT; IL is the safest from the vicis- situdes of climate and water sup ply; II IS the easiest crop to start and hardest one to kill, and is the basis of more different kinds of profitable agriculture than any other one crop now known. The uniform success of the alfalfa growers in our Valley have clear ly demonstrated Imperial Valley to be the alfalfa country, par ex- and we call attention to the fact that the United States Depar tmeut of Agriculture in their soil survey show that there are 3S7. 264 acres that will pro- duce alfalfa in this Valley, ac- to their estimates.
 The experience of our alfalfa farmers has proved that at least 75, 900 acres more can be added to the area given by the soil by careful irrigation. Wherever else in the world is there such an area capable of producing so valuable d crop with so little labor and expense, located SO near to good markets, and already supplied with first class transportation facilities? The equal of the Imperial Val ley does not exist else where, and the PRESS IS impressed with the that a very great mum ber of our fellow Americans are overlooking an extremely good thing while they stay away from our Valley. To all such, our first word of advice is come to Imperial Valley and become farmers on some of this 450, GOO acres of arabic. alfalfa land, and second, to blow deep and SOW al- falfa. The farmers already here are too thoroughly awake to a good thing to be reminded that the second part of this advice is

However, all seems to bc sane again now. and most ot them are
 inclined to regard the move for the proposed town as a good one
 for Imperial. lt will cause the
 moss back nonresident owners of our best corners to realize
 that their game of hold-up won't
 work. and that they must get m
 and build the town here or else 1t may 20 elsewhere. The row of shacks on Imperial avenue is enough to make one think new town was needed. The work of putting down the cement side walk should bc continued. There is quite a space in the main part of town where the street IS the only smooth traveling, the side walks resemble nothing SO much as the bats tn an abauooucd brick yard. We welcome the revival of the talk of building a town at for we believe IL will cause the building of Imperial on permanent lines at an early date.

 Same time la-t Monday night Richard Carlisle. alias Windy Dick" and Cy second time from our city Bastile. These gentry were hr-t incarc,rated under fines of tlOO and thirty days in jail, each for selling liquor. iu other words running a "blind pig" Their first escape and subsequent recapturr was noted last week. Al the city cleo tion la-t Monday their friends made des- perate effort to carry the city for saloon [ suit could be attained "Dick ami Cv" would be released in compliance with the popular will. However, when the result was announced it WIS real by the-e people that Imperial had set her hand against such people. ia.l terms are not reli-hed by blind piggers, SO it was mp tO "Dick and Cy" to make the next move. Public opiuon had vindi- cated th" proprirty of their sentence there was nothing to expect from that source. so this delectablr pair by using candles and making iaIers of paper managed tO burn the door around the lnck till i' wac lpose enough OFT the jail door tO ad nit of its being opened and their makiug their escape. Imperial no longer looked good Co them. however, 70 it i- safe tn say that it will take ofli- cers to bring them back. We believe the blind pigs realize now that their advent into Imperial will be quickly ! followed by a good stiff fine and term in the city jail, and will keep away.
