Imperial Valley press and the Imperial press., 1906-05-12

There will be social at the school house in Silsbee on Friday evening, May 18th. All are invited, and an en- ioyable evening is assured.
 All who have damage claims should call at the office of r. q. Havens, Not ary Public at El Centro and sign them so the committee can take the matter up with the California Development Company.
 Mr. and Mrs. Harper who live on the high land just south of New River from Silsbee went out to San Diego last week. They crossed the overflow in boat, to near Signal Mountain and from there went over the mountains with a team.
 Mr Jaspers' house was destroyed by the overflow, and now the cutting of New River channel through his place almost takes away all island. Several tracts of land along the course of the new channel are very badly cut up and damaged.
 The social last Thursday evening was a success in every way. The attendance was large, the weather fine, the ice cream of the very best. The prize bas- ket was won by Mir. Abbott, and an Inn perial souvenir pin was won by Miss Verna Havens.
 Mir. Herl Thompson spent Sunday with J. R. Havens and family. Mir. Thompson who is all old friend of Mir. Ravens and family crossed New River at the New River Ranch Company's trolley wire, and rode the rest of the way on his wheel.
 MT. Henry Wilson is doing some building on his place, whereat much speculation is rife. The completion of the structure is watched with interest by his neighbors as it is surmised to indicate another lady resident in the Sisbee neIghborhood. Its all right Henry, the congratulations are all ready. /1rhe water was just as high as it ever has been, up to within the past few days, and it has fallen very little so far.

We can hear the blasts at fre- quent intervals during the day and at night we can hear the water roar as it pours into the newly made channel and
 very few minutes can hear the dirt 'alling in as the water cuts the channel larger. A channel is also being cut from the New River channel back to- ward Blue Lake, the water discharged through the lake doing the mischief. At latest reports this channel was still about one and one-half miles away from the lake and not cutting very rapidly. If the old channel can be opened back to where the slough leading to Blue Lake leaves it before this channel gets cut back to Blue Lake. the lake will be saved and all the lands about it drained. Otherwise, the main channel of the riv- CT may run through Blue Lake and Sils- bee become a thing of the past.

ENGLAND THIS IIMf
Report that lower California is to be
 sold to Great Britain

El Paso, Tex, May5 The virtual sale of Lower California and the Tehauntepec railroad to England is, according to inc formation possessed by local Spanish newspaper, and said to be authentic, the real motive of Minister Limantour's trip to Europe, ostensibly taken as va cation. "La Reforma Social" span daily newspaper edited by Lauro Aguirre am exiled Mexican editor, states that the sale of the peninsula will be consum- mated under the guse of loan to an English syndicate, and that the sale of the Tehauntepec railroad carries with it the right to build an isthmian canal (similar to the Panama canal in process of construction.
 The conditions of the sale are to be kept from the epublic, continues La Re- forma Social, and it adds that were they generally known revolution would result.
 It is said that the alleged negotiations on the part of Minister Limantour orig inate in desire to checkmate the de- velopment of sentiment in the United States toward the purchase of Lower California.- a.--Los Angeles Examiner.
