Chaplin, Bothwell and Silliman, the Peoples Champions, Triumphantly Elected -Schee and O'Brien Elected from the North nd-The Futile "Buttinsky'
 of l. w. Gleason

Last Tuesday the people in Water Company No. i measured strength with the California Development Company and its allied forces for the control of No. 5's affairs for the coming year, and the result was splendid victory for the people and a crushing defeat for the corporation influence that feels aggrieved because it can not control dur ing the coming year ALL of the mutual water companies of the Valley.
 The California Development Company, its allied companies aud it's truculent co-workers were present in full force and lined up together, to try and defeat the peoples wishes and secure domination of No 5's affairs for the coming year, but all in vain; and the California De- velopment Company will be compelled to do business for the next year with those staunch champions of the cause of the water users, c. W. Boutwell,, r. N. Chaplin and l. F. Silliman.
 Every vote and every proxy that the California Development Company and its tentacles, the Alamo Land Company, Imperial Investment Company, w. F.. Holt, and I. W. Gleason could muster was marshalled to defeat the peoples choice and force upon them, California Development Company domi- nation tor the next year; alas, to no pur- pose. The No. 5 people couldn't be swerved from their purpose to have their district under the control of men loyal to their best interests.
 Neither the threats nor the cajoling ofthe California Development Company, nor the direful prophecy" of it's mouth piece, the Imperial Valley "Snooze, " that the California Development Company would put the screws on the stockhold- CTS of No. if they dared reelect to office their president, had any effect in shak- ing the loyalty of those stalwart men, who have throughout all of No. 5's troubles stood firmly for their rights

Carey the local representative of the California Development Go. s allied corporations, k. D. McPherrin, secretary of No. 1, who held nine-sixteenths of one share of stock in his own name and who had secured froxy on l20 shares more and r. H. McPherrin, an employee in the office in the California Develop ment Company, who held one share in
 in his own name. None of the above supporting Holt were water users in No. 5, nor residents of No. 5, nor farming any land in No. 5.
 In addition to the above galaxy of the California Development Company's push pure and simple, Mr. Holt had the sup port of only two parties, Holman and Wheeler; these two alone of Holt's fol- lowing are actual water users, having interests in common with those on the ground who are struggling to enforce their rights and secure the water to which they are entitled
 The alignment of Gleason with the California Development Company and its avowed following in support of Holt as against those who had fought the peoples battles, classifies MT. Gleason, beyond all concealment as one of the Californiadevelopus-G Gleasonibusspecies, and no amount of protest on his part as being only disciple of diplomacy" can shield him unless wee define diplomacy" as old Gorgan Graham in his brutal frankness has recently defined it as just "a polite term for plain Icing on large scale."
 THE LESSON OF THE ELECTION
 There is significant lesson in the No. election that the other mutual com panies may well bear in mind. This will probably be the most important year in the history of the mutual water companies. The destiny of this valley, its future veal or woe may depend large ly upon the wisdom of the mutual water companies directors and their fidelity to the best interests of the people.
 During this year the fate of govern ment ownership of the canal system will doubtless be determined. and if through an attempt to coerce the government in- to paying an extortionate price for the system, government ownership is de- feated, the next move of the willy Cali

THE FIGHT FOR ELECTION
 OF DIRECTORS IN NUMBER FIVE

fornia Development Company will doubt less be to persuade the directors of the mutual water companies what beauti- ful thing it would be for the mutual water companies to buy the system and pay about thirteen million dollars for it in bonds issued by the mutual water companies, covering the whole water system. This is the sum Mir. Heber
 figures it is worth in cash in his recent letter to the Secretary of the Interior and in his open letter in the San Fran cisco Chronicle.
 If government ownership fails, this will be the next play; mark this pro- phesy! Let the people of Imperial Val ley beware!
 The scheme is to unload the system on the government to be repaid by the people at an exorbitant figure in cash if possible, and if this fails, then to un- load it on the people direct for their bonds for still more exorbitant price. If the California Development Company knew that it had the sane kind of firm and fearless boards Of directors to eofi- front in the other mutual water cbn,- panies that it now has in No. 5, no fair or reasonable offer that is made by the governmnnt would be turned down; for it would know the futility of attempting to carry any fabulous bond issue if the interests of the people were in the hands of such boards.
 Furthermore the California Develop ment Company would know that the moment it turned down government ownership united effort would be made to have its water rates fixed by the board of supervisors and it's possible alleged $6OO,OOO of annual profits from water rentals thus eliminated from considera- tion as an asset. (This is the sum $500, ,000.0O) which Mir. Heber claims in his recent letter to the Secretary says will be his net annual income from water rental in California within a few years.)
 As the California law only allows com panies furnishing water for sale, rental or distribution for irrigation purposes, to charge reasonable interest on the in- vestment (the canals and structures used to transport the water), and as this in- vestment of the California Development Company is less than one million dollars, the net income which the law would allow if it's water rates were established by the supervisors could not exceed $50 ,0O0 per annum. Mir. Heher and his engineering department are already off cially on record as saving that l21s cents per acre-foot will more than cover all cost of maintaining and repairing their canal system, and hence the board of would only have to allow that sum for this purpose. The saving to the people by such a course IS too obvious to require comment.
 A further reason why the people need this years board of directors free from

Cause of Mysterious Sounds.

There is an old superstition that tap
ping sounds in room foretell death
A correspondent suggests that these
sounds are emitted from wooden fur
niture. 81 have generally noticed" he
says, that l heard them after a sud-
den change in the temperature from
heat to cold. Heat causes furniture
to expand and open the interstices of
the wood, which become filed with
air. A sudden cooling on the other
hand, causes the wood to contract,
and the interstices then close and
forcibly expel the air with these ex-
plosive sounds"

WOMAN'S WORLD.

When the morning renews our con-
seriousness, and duty stands waiting our
first action, men and women OF today
rarely turn their first thoughts towards
possibilities OF pleasure and Of giving
some touch OF light and good cheer u
the waiting hearts OF others. The
strange and incomprohensible character
OF our occupations the almost inyarl-
able condition Of all life IN civilized
countries, entails the sad awakening TO
burdens greater than we can bear
claims, larger than we can meet, duties
and responsibilities beyond our power
OF performance and endurance TO
open our eyes with glad recognition Of
new day and an assured hope that It
must In some Of us quickly passing
hours bring us a reward Of pleasure,

few.

that the flowers are only hiding their

AN exhibition Of literature recommend
ed by the congress.
In Illinois a new civil service bill Ia
soon to be presented before the state
legislature, At the civil service DAY
meeting OF the Chicago Woman's club
novel suggestion was offered by
Miss Jane Adams and Miss Julia La
throp. This wos plan for summer
schools where guards and attendants
at state institutions, prisons, and In
sane asylums sho"id be instructed in
humane and scientific methods Of care
and reformation. The idea mot with
the approval OF the club members, and
an effort will be made TO make II one
of the provisions Of the bill. Miss
Adams is quoted In a Chicago paper
as saying. 1T has been suggested
that number Of Institutes be founded
IN connection with the university Of
Illinois, where guards, attendants, and
nurses in the state institutions can re-
ceive scientific training, These schools
Will also present to the young men or
women who are eager In the pursuit OF
charity to devote their abilities TO
such work an opportunity for prepare
ton and a channel through which
they can enter the service At present
there is no way IN which the state can
avail itself OF the high ideals and fine
capabilities of such people"
Miss Lathrop said; President James
and DR., Kinley head of the depart
ment of economies In the state uni
versity, are very favorable to the idea.
