of them profess to follow. 1t is no
mere hostility that gives momentum to
the effort to regulate ruthless COM

tic remedies are not infrequent. Legis-
lators attack one thing in the same
breath that-tAey-admit the evil lies in
something else. But under whatever
confusion and whatever unfair preiu-
dice there may be, lies the unacceptable
truth that for centuRfifees the human race
has been ocontriving penalties for
crimes committed by, the poor, and has
done little. toward arranging for the
punishment of Tie rich. Petty larceny
receives at least as much attention as
1T deserves from the machinery of JUS
tice, but a man may go through life
giving huge brides, thinly disguised, to
get INN special privileges, arranging
corners in wheat or cotton, or contriv-

a criminal and he is in small danger

State Executive Committee Decides o.
Dates.

The State Executive Committee has
decided upon the dates of the primaries
and the time and place of the several
campaign meetings, incident to the cleo
ton of Solicitors of Eighth and Ninth
Circuits.
The first Primary will be held on
March 21st, 1905.
The{second Primary will be held April
4th and the general election April 18th.
Senator Bivens of Dorchester moved
that each candidate be exempted from
assessment at the hands of the State
Executive Committee, andthatno county
be permitted to assess a candidate more
than $25. Mr.. Richards amendment to
make the maximum limit $40 was voted
down and Mr.. Bivens' was accepted.
1t was decided that the campaign in
each circuit should start on March 18th,
thus making Friday, the 10th, as the
last day for filing pledges. AS no as
sessment is to be paid to the State com
mittee, it was decided that the County
Chairman should report by wire on the
lOth the names of the candidates who
had paid their assessments before the
hour for closing the lists.
The members from the counties com
posing the Eighth Circuit held a confer
ence and announced the following cam.
paign dates: Saluda, Saturday, March
11th; Newberry, March 18th Laurens,
March 18th; Abbeville, March 18th f.;
Greenwood, March 18th.
1t was decided that in the towns in
which there are cotton factories in the
Eighth Circuit there should be night
meetings for the benefit of the opera

1t was announced that the Lcgisla-
ture had passed an act which will obvi-
ats.ahys recurrence of the d~is5agreeable
ENHANCEMENT which came up from

Supervisor in that county was thrown
into a muss because the State committee
had no appellate jurisdiction over the

to waste the surplus water into the Salton Sink, when the water is high, in order to be able to di- vert sufficient water at low water stage to supply the Imperial Val ley farmers.
 Because a large lake is visible from the Southern Pacific tracks, 1t does not follow that the water backs up 200 feet high, or that Salton channel and New river could not carry all our surplus water, The Imperial farmers are more interested in getting help to take care of the forth coming enormous harvest than in anything else, and any yellow journal than depicts him other wise receives a well merited smile of derision.

COMPLETING WORK
 OF RESURVEY
Imperial Valley Land Lines Being
 Corrected

Mir. w. o. Owens, the Examiner of Surveys for the United States, returned to the Valley this week accompanied by his assistants Messrs. Delario and Dow ney, They left last Tuesday with ex- county surveyor $. L. Ward, to run a line west to the Pacific ocean from the corner established by Deputy U. $. Surveyor Henderson when he made his survey of the township lines in the Inn perial Valley according to the Act of July 1, 1902.
 We learn that the survey of Mir. Henderson was found tc be correct so far as the work is concerned, and that all that was to be determined by this line being run by Mir. Owens and his party, was as to whether his starting point is correct. If found to be correct, no doubt the work of running the sub division lines will soon be begun, and the long delayed work of straightening out the surveys in the Imperial Valley be completed, It is Mr. Owens opinion that this work will soon be under way, and we hope this will prove to be the case.

California Development Company Sued-SaItOn Company Begins
 Action

The threatened litigation over the flooding of the Saton Sink by diverted waters of the Colorado river, as outlined in The Times recently, came to head Thursday in the Superior courts at River side, when the New Liverpool Salt Co.,, through J. w. Mckinley of | os Angeles entered suit against the California De- velopment Co. for damages in the sum of $S7 ,000 and for permanent injunc- tion restraining that corporation from diverting into the Imperial canal sys- tenn more water from the Colorado than shall be required for irrigation.
 The complaint alleges that unless this injunction issues, the New Liverpool Salt Company will suffer fully $200, ,000 damages at the hands of the California Development Company, as the waste waters from the latter's improperly constructed canal system have sub merged the salt fields operated by the complainant and are steadily advanc- ing toward the point where inundation will destroy great quantities of salt which the complainant has mined and stored at its plant within the northern edge of the sink.
 Should the injunction be granted, it VIII lldNO UllC CllCCU Ol dll OIuCI Ol COul U requiring the canal owners to build headgates across the three intakes which cut the west bank of the Colo rado. Through these intakes the flood waters of that mighty stream flow wild into the Imperial canal system. To prevent this vast volume of unwanted water from rushing into Imperial Val ley and flooding ruinously the farms (which can use only reasonable DOT tion, in irrigation) the California De- velopment Company opens series of wastegates in the main channel of the canal system, a few miles west of the river. The result, as set forth in the salt company's complaint, is that inn mense quantities of this wasted water inundate the country south of the main canal, transforming feed crop and cat tie lands into inland seas then finds it's way southward whence it is emptied into the New river and flows seventy five miles north into Salton Sink, where it has formed land-locked sea 300 square miles in extent, flooding the New Liverpool Salt Company's salt fields aud threatening to put that cor poration permanently out of business.
 It is pointed out that had the Cali. fornia Development Company built it's canal system properly and with regard to the rights and safety of contiguous property holders, it's intakes would have been equipped with gates to regu late the flow of the river into the canals and all this trouble and damage would have been averted.
 The complaint narrates that time and again the complainant has called the attention of the California Develop ment Company to the danger that threatened and the damage being done, but these notices and complaints were ignored Times.

Turned the Water on Big Tract

Big crowds gathered at Twin Falls, Idaho, on Thursday of last week to witness the ceremony of turning in wa ter to the canals irrigating 270,000 acres of arid lands This is the biggest irri- gated tract in the western hemisphere under one canal. The water is supplied by the Snake river irrigating system and represents an outlay of two and one quarter million of dollars. Settlers are taking up land under the Carey Act.- San Diego Union.
