From private letter received from J. w. Fitzpatrick it is learned that the government has consented to the exclu- sion of the rough lands in Superstition Mountains from the area to be included in the Imperial Valley resurvey. Mir. Fitzpatrick expects to return to the Valley and complete his surveying con- tract about next November and Decem. Der if the water is gotten under control and the overfowed lands are allowed to drain.
 Considerable complaint is heard of the practice some of the people have of flooding the roads. Main street leading west has been badly flooded the past week and we know of considerable busi- ness that was driven to other towns that but for that mud hole would have come to El Centro. Very little care on the part of the farmers would obviate all this and it is certainly to the interest of our neighbors to permit the roads to be passa ble.
 Our enterprising hardware merchant J. Stanley Brown, has just received a car load of farm implements and ma chinery, which he has stored and is set ting up in his new building he has erected the past week alongside his hardware store.

TRAGEDY OF A FACE.
Case Of Comrade Nick Carlos, Whose Aw-
full Disagreement Caused Him to Go
Into Solitude q Hermit.


Referring to the pathetic case of
Nicholas Carlos, described recently in
The National Tribune. whose face was
terribly disfigured by gunshot wound,
and who, because people stunned him
in consequence of the terrible disfigure-
ment, led the life of a recluse. Comrade
A. ]. Frornas, Co. A, 44th Ohio, writes
from Columbus Junction, Iowa:
1.-The pitiful plight of Comrade Carlos,
of Perry, Iowa, who recently died as a
recluse, brings me to be interested in
the matter. and cGnvinces me that I
saw that man or one wounded similarly
in the hospital at Knoxville, Tenn, In
1863. I have never forgotten the un-
sightliness of his face. He was appar-
emily entirely well of the wound and
took nourishment.
81 did not look at his Disagreement
from choice. unavoidably found my
self right In front of him as he sat on
his cot, when a casual glance indelibly
fixed his unfortunate plight in my mem
ory His upper jaw and nose were
missing His eyes were uninjured, and
his tongue was normal and rested on
the well-preserved under jaw with good
teeth of each side. At the root of the
tongue the funnel-like cavity of his
throat appeared. 1 have never forgot
ten what my eyes beheld. In all my
reading of news I have never before
heard of a similarly-unfortun COM
rade. 1 did not learn his regiment or
State identity. II Nicholas Carlos, late
of Perry, Iowa, is the man, my heartfelt
sympathy in his death is NO greater now
than 1t was when 1 saw him at Knox
Vile in 1853"

Birthday of the Flag.

To the American People:
The birthday of the Flag.
Thursday, June IA, will be the 129th
anniversary of the birth of the United
States Flag.
What an emotion of patriotism swells
the heart of every loyal citizen when he
contemplates that for more than CEN
fury and quarter the Flag of his
country has fioated in honor and tri-
umph, representing the highest prin-
ciples Of Government and the noblest
impulses of universal brotherhood.
The Flag which was created to be
the emblem and illustration of bond
of unity comprising 13 States fringing
vast territory along the Atlantic has
expanded until its protection covers
nearly whole continent and extends
far across the seas to embrace within
its folds the oppressed and degraded
of other races of men who were the
bondsmen of avarice and power.
Honorable has been its mission;
freedom and liberty it's message; hu-
manity its service; elevation its COM
munication; authority its duty; sacred
its promises. Beneath its benignity
every birth is noble; every pure aspir
alton is exalted, and every honest pos
session protected. 1t welcomes the op-
pressed of all mankind, exemplifies ma
tional virtue, and is an ever victorious
defense of the weak.
1t is meet therefore that the anniver-
sary of this noble birth should be hailed
with acclaim. Let the rising sun of
June IA be greeted with the shouts of
the multitude, the ringing of bells, the
salutation of artillery, as from every
housetop, steeple, mast, there shall be
flung to the breeze the beautiful BAN
ner of the American people which sig
nifies so much that has been sacrificed
and promises all that should be realized.
Let every loyal citizen contribute in
the display of the Flag his testim ony
that he stands for honor, purity and
obedience to law.
Let every man, woman and child
pledge it's faith in the purposes the
Flag represents and wear a token of
their liberty in modest, but certain,
bow or rosette attached to their dress. |
Lessons of patriotism will not be |
lost in recognition of this memorable |
day. The lawless will recognize the |
of authority and the

The gloried guidon of the day; shelter

Your Flag and my Flag!
And oh. how much IL holds
Your land and my land
Secure within its folds!
Your heart and my heart

Red and blue and white.

Where the foes haughty host in
