RAILROAD ALL RIGHT
Cutting Away of the Banks at the AL
 amO Bridge Not Serious

On "Wednesday morning last it was reported in Los Angeles that service over the railroad from Old Beach to Calexico had been discontinued. This announcement caused quite a stir and the railroad company was urged to re- sume service at the earliest possible moment. This they did at once, re- calling the order issued the night be- fore and ordering the trains to run as usual. The trouble is caused by the cratic course of the Alamo river near the bridge beyond Rockwood. Here this stream is endeavoring to perform the feat of doubling back on itself. Just above the bridge it has cut away a quite large curve on the north bank running in close to the track few hun dred feet north of the bridge. From this curve the water comes back and passes under the bridge, then curves right around to the north again. Here it has cut out most wonderful hole and carried away several hundred acres of land. The railroad track, which used to run straight north from the bridge. has been moved back number of times, so often. in fact. that it has no road bed for more than a mile, but Is merely rails nailed to ties and is be- Ing slid back from the crumbling bank of the river all the time. This curve in the river has cut back till now it only lacks 200 feet of meeting the curve above the bridge This causes the railroad to reach the bridge on a narrow peninsula, which is being cut away on both sides. However, it is now stated that the railroad company will put on force enough to turn the water away from the point where the cutting is going on and put a stop to the whole trouble. They could then quickly ballast their road bed and put everything in first class shape.

New Supervisor Districts

The Board of Supervisors took ac- tion last Tuesday to readjust the five supervisoral districts of this county. By ordinances duly passed the districts are ordained to be as follows:
 FIRST sUPERWsoRAL DISTRICT
 The first supervisoral district shall consist of the following judicial town ships:
 Linda Vista judicial township, Mis- sion judicial township, Spring Valley judicial township. Coronado, Fl Cajon judicial township and the first ward, second ward. fourth ward, seventh ward and the first precinct of the sixth ward of the city of San Diego,
 SECOND sUPERvlsoRAL DISTRICT
 The second supervsoral district shall consist of the following judicial townships:
 National judicial township, Jamul ju- dicial township. Otay judicial township. Caliente judicial township, Mesa Grande judicial township, Bear Valley judicial township. Escondido judicial township.

CantaIeupe Shipments

The last carload of cantaloupes was shipped from Brawley last Tuesday evening The total for the season Is about 2o0 carloads of cantaloupes from that point, also IS carloads of water melons. Holtville shipped A car loads of cantaloupes before the going out of the railroad bridge shut them off The shipments from Fl Centro are still going on and will probably continue to the end of this week. The total will probably reach at least SO cars from this point. This will make the total shipments from the Valley aggregate more than $50 carloads of cantaloupes and IS carloads of watermelons for the season. Last year the total shipments were 38 carloads of cantaloupes. This shows the business has increased al- most ten fold within the year It would be a wise man who could guess what the output of cantaloupes. watermelons, grapes, onions and early vegetables will be from this Valley next year.
 We hardly expect it to increase ten fold again, but expect it to increase five fold.

ward. eighth ward. ninth ward and the second precinct of the sixth ward of the city of San Diego.
 THIRD sUPERvIsoRAL DISTRICT
 The third supervisoral district shall consist of the following judicial town ships:
 Oak Grove judicial township. Agua township. Ramona judicial township. Falomar judicial township
 FOURTH sUPERvIsoRAL DISTRICT
 The fourth supervisoral district shall consist of the following judicial town ships:
 Brawley judicial township. Silsbee judicial township. Imperial judicial township, Holtvllle judicial township, Hedges judicial township. Plcacho ju- dicial township. Hanlon judicial town ship, Calexico judicial township.
 FIFTH sUPERVsoRAL DISTRICT
 The fifth supervis :ral district shall consist of the following judicial town ships:
 Recluse judicial township. De Luz judicial township. Fallbrook judicial township, Bonsall judicial township, San Luis Rey judicial township, En- cinitas judicial township and Del Mar judicial township.
 This arrangement makes Imperial Valley and the eastern part of this county one supervlsoral district to be known as the fourth. The supervisor therefore will be from this Valley. As the nominating conventions will be held about August 18th 1t will be seen that it is time candidates were declaring themselves. Imperial Valley needs a good level headed man on the board of supervisors, for 1t must be remember ed that during his term the new county will be created and there will be much that he can do in looking out for our interests

 D. w. Amos, of Fort Collins, Colo rado, is looking over the Valley this week to see what we are doing Mr. Amos was an early settler in the Cache la Poudre valley in his state and took an active part in its development. For several years he was connected with the Water Supply and Storage Co.,, an irrigation company at Fort Collins and is an experienced irrigator and farmer.
 Several of our readers have called in this week to assure us of their de- sire to have the proposed Colorado river convention carried through. They sympathize with the view that the entire resources of the Colorado river be utilized and that those re- sources be controlled by one reSpon- sible head. This must be the United States government or a joint commits sion probably with members from both the United States and Mexico.
 The FL Centro barber shop is re- spIendent in a new double mirror and combination case, which was put in this week. This imposing piece of furniture, together with a new mug rack and the elegant barber chair al- ready in use, places the FL Centro in a class by itself. the neatest and best equipped barber shop in the Imperial Valley. Proprietor Downing is to be congratulated on his enterprise. His work is in keeping with his furnishings and is the best to be had In the Valley.
 The past week was a hot one in our Valley and last Monday was the hottest in the bunch. The mercury reached l2l degrees in our office and the heat was awfully oppressive. Quite num- Der of head of live stock died, several farmers losing horses they were work ing and some hogs and cattle dying Several heat prostrations resulted and one old gentleman. Mir. Jones, who lived near Imperial. died from the heat. The weather turned cooler on Thurs day and has been much more pleasant since. This has undoubtedly been our worst spell for the summer.
