TELEPHONE LINE TO IMPERIAL
Sunset Company Will Extend In This
 Direction Imme diately

The work of preparation has already been commenced for the extension of the Sunset Telephone and Telegraph Company to the Imperial Valley, and it will not be so very many months before it will be possible for the people of San Diego to talk with their fellow citizens of the county, though separated by a mountain range.
 The line will be built by the way of Julian but the wires will be strung from San Diego through and the pole line itself will be built from Ramona. Some time since the company rebuilt a portion of the outside or long-distance lines in the county and in so doing put in heavy poles between this city and Ramona. Beyond that point the poles are too light and larger ones will be put in to carry the Imperial valley line.
 The distance from Julian Jo Imperial is about 87 miles 50 that the entirely new building is quite an undertaking. The new pole line will be 2l miles longer anduthe new wiring will be for the entire l45 miles or more, as the line has to meander through the mountains. The line will be an expensive one to build and for the present there will be very little business along the line. The valley will, however, soon support sev- ersLl large exchanges,-Union.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
A Necessity For The Imperial Valley

The following article from the Los Angeles Times points to the great neces- sity of Government ntrol of this Val ley. There are at present, and have been for some time past, many questions that the United States sGovernment a lone can decide, and if the Government was owner at present things would move that now drag because of the corporate obstacles:
 President Roosevelt today had brief discussion with his cabinet anent the case of the California Development Company and the whole Imperial and Colorado river situation. Most of the discussion was devoted to the nterna- tional s,de of tie questions involved, and no decision was reached. At the Interior Department afterward the statement was made that no decision was to be expected for some time yet.
 It developed that away up in the Grand Canyon there is pending deal that may seriously affect the entire lower Colorado river valuation. The Grand river is one of the principal tributaries of the Colorado river. In Grand river canyon there is a reservoir site upon which, if dams were constructed, water for approximately 1000. 900 acres of land could be stored during the flood period, and used later in the season when the water in the Colorado liver is low.
 It now appears that the New Century Light and Power Company, an off-shoot of the old Hydro-Electric Power Com pany of Denver, has proposition on hand to use this reservoir ground and dam site for the construction of power works, and that the company proposes to manufacture power there for distribu- tiOn and use in Denver. When the ap- plication for permission to construct such works was filed with the Interior Department there appeared here agents for the Denver, Northwestern and Pacific railway, asking for the right of way through this site, their purpose being to cut out the power plant as soon as it would interfere with the use of coal in Denver.

trainer believed and meet defeat in the
third heat, he has won the bulk of the
money and the race, providing he has
captured the first two heats.
By paying $1,000 to the winner of
each heat, $500 to the second and $500
to the third horse in the M. and NJ. and
one half of each of these amounts in the
c. and C., it will readily be seen that
nine chances are offered in the three
heats to win a. portion of the purse, and
with the consolation race nine more
chances are offered, making a total of
eighteen chances to win a portion of the
stake.
Should a horse win a heat or any por-
ton of it, to be later distanced, he will
always receive the money he won prior
to finishing behind the flag. Horse
men can realize at a glance what such
chances mean or what the value Of such
conditions mean to the right side of
their ledger.
It has been often the case of the best
horse in the race meeting defeat
through circumstances which, lost him
the third heat and sometimes being dis
tanced. JOHN MCCARTNEY.

BOOM ON AT GARDEN CITY.
The Windmill Irrigation County Is the
Scene of Much Activity.

Garden City, Kas., March rs
Garden City is just now enjoying a
repetition of her boom days, except
ing this boom is legitimate.
Land seekers are coming In on
every train. So great has the influx
become that it has become almost
next to impossible to furnish hotel ac-
commodations. Some land has
doubled in price in the last sixty days,
and there is hardly a vacant quarter
in the county subject to homestead
entry. The bottom land in alfalfa is
changing hands at from SIS to 800
per acre. Twelve hundred acres of
sugar beets have been contracted for
by the sugar beet company. and next
year a sugar refinery is to be built.
Nor is the country alone receiving a
boom. The city is being rehabitated,
new brick walks taking the place of
the old ones, new buildings are going
up, and everywhere is to be found

NAV Build a New Academy.

Fort Scott. kan. March 2S--Bishop
Hennessey of the Kansas diocese of
the Catholic church, with residence at
Wichita, was in the city investigating
the advisability of selecting an out of
town site for a new academy location.
He is yet undecided whether to put
up a new building or build an addi-
ton to the present school at the COR
ner of Tenth and National avenues,
but he is rather inclined to believe
that an entirely new building with a
good high location will prove more
profitable and more beneficial TO the
school. Bishop Hennessey left for
Wichita, but will be back here again
in a short time.

WORKED HARVEST HAND GRAFT
Victims Solicited for Little Money to

Victims Solicited for a Little Money to
Assist the General Scheme
Chanute, Kan. March 2s.-M. c.
Harris would better keep away from
Chanute for a few months. or at least
not return here with that name and
the talk and manner used early this
week. He found at least ten marks
in Chanute and it may be there were
twice as many.
A member of the police force fer
reted out the business of the pretend
ed ranchman, followed the case close
ly with the result that Harris is now
working in some other town. The
fellow is a very tall, dark skinned
westerner. He arrived in Chanute last
Friday morning and stopped at the
Delmonico hotel. He left that place
soon, but remained in town until he
saw that the time was ripe to avoid
filling his contracts.
His graft was to engage harvest
hands For sum averaging from one
to three dollars. he promised his vic
Tins that he would give them employ
ment at $50 a month and board on
the ranch, and give them horse to
ride. They must furnish saddle and
bride, but if good cattlemen. would
be given $50 a month within short
time. AS a guarantee of their fulfill
ment of their end of the contract. Mr..
Harris asked for a little piece of
money. He looked very much like
he owned a ranch in Arizona as he
claimed. He was agreeing TO IurnlSn
all the hands he hired free Transport
tation to Arizona. The company was
to leave over the Santa Fe day before
yesterday.
Harris also had another graft. Con-
nected with the case was a woman
She was kept at the hotel for two or
three days, and Harris paid the bill.
1t is believed that the pretended
ranchman and the woman left at the
same time, and probably went to Cof-
feyville. The police in neighboring
towns are warned to prevent any such
a swindle being worked None of the
fellows that bought gold bricks here
lost enough to care about taking the
matter up and hunting for the

Jealous of John L. He Wants to Box
His COnQueror Once More.

jealous of John L. He Wants to Box
His COnquerOr Once More.
Baltimore, March 28.-And now
Jake Kilrain pokes his head out and
would utter a def to his one great
rival, who recently actually Knocked
a man(?) out in prize ring.
"All the old ones are not dead yet -
says Jake. and he wants to fight John
L. Sullivan again. He would also not
object to meeting Joe Goddard again,
but unfortunately he is buried as well
as dead.
This is no jest Kilrain is actually
out for fight. His son, Cecil ISilrain.
made his first debut in the ring here
a couple of weeks ago and met with a
knockout, and this probably brought
the father to announce that there was
still lots of fight in the Kilrain family
However, Jake Kilrain is quoted as
saying his intention of re-entering the
ring is not of recent origin, but, in
fact, several years ago he began to
condition himself for his farewell APP
pearance. Though he hardly hopes to
reach the condition he was in when he
was beating all the champions up to
Sullivan, he hoped. and believes now.
that he is nearly in such shape that
he could lick many OF the present day
heavyweights-
Today, Kilrain says, he weighs less
than 200 pounds. For a year past he
has been paying much attention to
boxing, and he SparS daily. He says
he finds his staying qualities are good,
and he has nearly as good and eff
fective a punch as he ever possessed.
When asked if the reading of John
L. Sullivan's late victory over Jack
Mccormick had influenced him, he
said
1T did not I have been training
for years and feel right now. I would
like to get a match with John L.
Sullivan.
s'Of course, I have an advantage
over him. I am younger and not SO
big. that is true, but John and I
ought to put I'D a good CO."
