Chicago, May 20.--All the indications
Friday night point to the end Of the
teamsters' strike within the next "a
hours. It being predicted by both the
employers and labor leaders that the
trouble will be over within that time.
At O'Clock Friday night President
Shea Of the teamsters' union and At
torney Meyer who has full authority
to settle the strike from the employers
association, were locked together in
room at the Auditorium Annex.
They refused TO state what matters
were under consideration, but from
other sources 1t was learned that Pres
ident Shea was making an effort to
secure the best terms possible for his
men before consenting to recommend
that the strike be called of. After
the meeting between Shea and Myer,
the former reported directly to the
Transfers Joint committee which met
at the union headquarters and, con-
tinued Its deliberations until late
hour. The sole power Of calling of
the strike rests in this body, and it
was freely predicted on all sides dur
ing the early part of the night that 1t
would at some time before Saturday
noon announce that the end had come.
Several more of the leaders Of the
strikes at the public schools were SEN
fenced by Judge Mack to term in the

W. V. Hardy, the United States Hy- drographer, is having little less stren- u0us time with his work than he had while the water was rising and he had to measure the rivers flowing through this Valley. All he measures now is the canals aud some fumes he has in. stalled to see how much water is used on certain tracts during the year. The work of measuring the run-off of water in New river and Salton channel has been discontinued by the government. Water has been measured in this Valley now for nearly three years by the gov ernment photographers and enough data has been secured to show what the loss is by seepage and evaporation. So, now they measure the Colorado river at Yuma and, again below the Imperial heading, then measure the water in the ditches in this Valley, make the deduc- tions for seepage and evaporation, ac- cording to the tables they have prepar- ed and the rest of the volume is being discharged into Salton Sea. They call such table "rating curve" There is no more correct or painstaking work done anywhere than is done by Uncle Sam's boys in the Reclamation Service and the work done in this Valley is as good as the best.

INTERVALS PROSPERITY


 Valley IS apparent to every one. There has been a very marked improvement within the past two weeks. The merchants all re- : port increased sales, the people are coming into the Valley at the rate of about fifty per day. Va cant houses itf Imperial are get ting scarce, and those that are still unoccupled are already rented and will be tenented in a short time. We are informed by MT. D. k. Stevenson that the arrange ments are all complete for the erection of new and complete ice plant at Imperial, and that in conjunction with thIs d modern up-to-date creamery will be in- stalled. Also that a capitalist is m the Valley now who is ready to furnish the farmers all the money they want to buy dairy cows, put iii alfalfa and get into the dairy business.
 That this man will loan his money Oil such security and at such rates, the farmers can deal with him and still see something III 1t for themselves. Mir. Steven son said this man and his terms would be made known to the dairymeu at their meeting uext Monday, and he felt confident the outcome would be such a boom in the dairy business as it had never had anywhere.
 We suspect this man will make 1t condition with his loans, that the dairymau shall patrorize the Imperial creamery and ice plant, for very likely he will be inter ested iu the entire operation. Such course would be a sub- stantiai thing to do for the town and one that would be very much appreciated by our people and business men. The people of Imperial must be loyal to their town aud support all movements for its development and the fur therauce of it's interests. Every effort must be put forth to secure the location of the high school here. A meeting in the further ance of this movement will be held at the office of the Imperial Land Company on Wednesday,, October 4, at which time the petitions bearing on the matter will be prepared and pat ties se- cured to circulate them. This work IS under the direction of the Chamber of Commerce.
 Then there is the Agricultural Experiment Station-Imperial is the proper place tor that, too. This Experiment Station can be had if we go after it, and that it will be. gone after goes without saying, for the people of Im- perial are aroused and united in the work of building up the town and are not going to permit any opportunity to do so to pass unnoticed.
 The construction of bridge over New river northwest from town will bring the great deposit of building stone and sand, re- ferred to elsewhere ill our col- umns. to within easy access to this place and that will give Inn perial big advantage over the other towns of the Vallay in the matter of first-class building ma terial. While the other towns of the Valley all have their advantages and are each backed by good country surrounding them, Imperial is pre-eminent m general advantages, and with its central location and substan- tial lead will easily distance all its competitors and continue to be, as it always has been, the Hub City, the capital of the desert Empire and county seat of the future Imperial County.

the autocratic Romanoffs to their
heirs, have been courageous and
wise enough to see the impending
storm and ride before lit. But
Nicholas, of Russia, will never
have wit enough, OF gallantry
enough. to initiate the example Of
that king who, recognizing that
revolution was inevitable, boldly
avowed his support Of it, and be-
came. in fact, it's leader and incl
