Calvin and Byron Iams, of Holt vile, passed through Fl Centro, Wed- nesday. on their way to their lands in Number Six. Byron Iams claims the ribbon for growing the best crop of old fashioned eastern corn that was pro- duced in the valley this year. On the Chaplin ranch In No. 7 he has produc- ed 50 bushels per acre and is ready to "show" anyone the "corn" if they will come out and see 1t.

sent to mas.er the Colorado In order that the leadership be adequate for every demand, just so are the prob lems of the Imperial Valley being at- tackled Jack Carlllo has charge of the work of building the railroad from Calexlco to Yuma, a work he Is pre- emlnently qualified to do. And Tom
 Hind Is assistant general manager and
 next In command to Mir. Cory both in Mexico and in the United States. The time has passed away forever when places are held by pull" in the Call fornia Development company. And with them have passed the days of cheap promises and heartburnlngs and dlsappolntments. The days of great things are at hand for the day has come when the men who command great resources and do great things are at the head of valley affairs. The construction of the canal to water the lands in Mexico and west of New river including No. 6 and No 8 Is the larg- est canal undertaking ever launched In this Valley. And the levee work that Is under way to protect the country be- low the line from overflow will bring into use and make available for settle ment an area of at least l5O,O0 acres of wonderfully fertile land. In the face of these great operations 1t Is absolute ly certain that Imperial valley Is enter ing upon the greatest era of settlement and development that 1t has ever known. Work on both these undertakings will be rushed to the limit and especially will this be the case with the canal. 1t Is expected that new record in canal construction will be established and we have no doubt these expectations will be met. Tom Hind will have charge and we all know what he Is capable of doing. The people of Mo- 6 and No. 8 can confidently plan to farm their ranches this season. The water will be ready for them in time to raise a crop. And good crop raised under the new conditions which will obtain will add such a substantial increase to the value of their farms as will largely recoup the losses they may have sus- tained in the past. The good times have come in Imperial Valley. Let all get in step to the March of Progress.

destruction of the Redwood gate.
 But the right men were in the right
 place all the way through beginning
 with Mir. Randolph and coming right
 down the line to the last Indian in the
 brush cutter squad. Well, that great
 and memorable contest between the
 genius of man and the caprice of na-
 ture Is to be properly celebrated at our
 sister towns of Calexlco and Mexlcali
 about the middle of next month and
 no doubt on that occasion the people
 of this Valley will give proper expres-
 slons to their feelings on the subject.
 The tlnal closure of the intake as Is
 we'll known took place on November
 5th. While the great contest was in progress and in fact for practically the entire time since the management of Valley affairs passed into the hands of
 Mir. Cory very little attention had been given to water company matters. Mr..
 Cory realized that the Colorado river must be controlled or there sswould be no water company affairs to admins ter So naturally these matters were deferred until the river was gotten un- der complete subjectlon. But at all times while the great work of leveeing against the water here in the Valley and the greater work of shutting up the intake was in progress, whenever the Valley was mentioned both MT. Randolph and Mr. Cory pledged them selves to give the people of the Valley a square deal and to deliver to them what they had bought from the Call fornia Development company and had paid for, To the people of Imperial Water company No. and No. 4, as we'll as to No. 5 and No. 7 this did not mean so much as it did to the people of water company No. 6 and No. 8. The first named companies have not suffered any considerable damage to their irrigation systems nor water supplies, so these promises could not mean very much to them. But to No. 6 and No. 8 they were of the very greatest importance. Both these companies had suffered very severely from the floods and the erosion of New river channel. In the case of water company No. 8 their headworks were destroyed and irrigation made lmpossl- ble. In No. 6 the canal. system was wrecked and irrigation rendered just about as impossible as In number 8. This was the condition when Mir. Cory returned from the conquest of the Col orado river and established his head quarters at Calexlco, about three weeks ago. Naturally MT. Cory was very much out of touch with Valley affairs, as he had not given them a thought for about ninety days. But he took hold of our problems with his charact- erstlc energy and dlrectness. He saw that number six and number eight were down and out" until a canal could be built to carry water to them. So he at once sent engineers Into the field to
 locate the best route for such a canal as would be needed and also opened communication with contracting firms

The day of great things has come Imperial Valley and men of large frs are now at the helm. This Is pmlng more and more apparent ev- day as the splendid plans of Mir. dolph and Mir. Cory are unfolded. nearly year all the energies of e men and the resources at their mand in his Valley were engaged e work of saving the Valley from ruction as much as possible and in curbing the Colorado river. ,n the great floods came last May June 1t was nothing but the money men these gentlemen commanded prevented that mighty rush of wat pm overflowing the levees along main canal and destroying the fer md populous districts of number hnd number four. But for their lrreparable damage would have len Imperial Valley even if the should have been shut off at a date. The people of these water anies and of the Valley generally d remember the great service red them by MT. Cory and MT. olph at that time. After the flow Colorado declined to the point the work of shutting the intake be taken up we all remember pnderful vigor with which it was led. The picked men from the ern Pacific system were sent and sent there in force, too. The ork to do was to build a railroad intake. This was entrusted to Ilck Carillo, who has proven him be as good If not the best con- on engineer for that kind of work 5 be found in either the United or Mexico.

It hasn't rained much in this valley as yet, but while 1t was falling It made some people pretty nervous. There was the unfinished roof on the bank building and the roofless opera house block to get wet. Also the great pile of freight on the railroad platform. However, not enough rain fell, 10 do any damage,

Contractor Peterson completed the walls of both the opera house building and the bank block this week, so those buildings are completed so far as the brick work Is concerned. He will now start laying brick on the Ice plant and hopes to be able to get plenty of brick to keep going till 1t Is completed.

for the work of excavatlng the canal.
 Not a moment has been lost on either of these matters and now 1t Is announc-
 ed that a route has been chosen for
 the canal and plans laid of a more ann
 bilious scope than has ever previously
 been undertaken In this Valley. This
 canal will tap the present channel of
 the Alamo river at point near the
 outlet of Beltran slough. This Is about
 so feet above sea level and Is really
 higher than the loves point in the dl-
 vide between this Valley and the gulf
 of California. From thls point the
 canal will pass above the deep cuts and sloughs that were eroded by the flood waters last summer and which
 came so near cutting this Valley off from water supply and will cross the
 channel of New river above the big cut in that channel. This will avoid expensive work, as only a short Hume will be necessary. As the canal will start from such high elevation and will only need to have fall of about two or three feet to the mile 1t will be seen that 1t will cover a very much larger area in both number six and number eight than has ever been under canal before. This canal will skirt the sand dunes on the west side of the Valley and will no doubt carry water as high as It can be carried from the Cal lfornia Development company's canals. This canal will be from 35 to 40 miles long and will carry more than 50,00o miners inches of water. The final es- inmates are not all figured yet but 1t is known that there will be close to quarter of a million yards of dirt to move in its excavation. Mir. Cory is very anxious to have the canal dug
 ust as scon as possible and will no doubt let 1t out in contracts large or small, just so they will get to work and dig it at once. It Is expected that both Shattuck and Desmond and Peasley and Perry will have contracts and 1t Is expected to have the canal ready for service by the l5th of next February. Mir. Beach has been out among the farmers trying to pledge all the teams possible for work on this ditch and has met with hearty response. The peo- pie of number one and number four who were fortunate enough to escape damage or injury from the floods last summer realize that now Is the time for them to show their sympathy for their less fortunate neighbors in No. 6 and No. 8. And the way to do this in the most effective manner Is to join in and help restore their canal system in time for them to raise crops the com Ing year. The further fact that this canal Is being built on just about as high ground as water can be carried on that side of the Valley and Is being constructed large enough to carry wat CT for all the lands on that side of New river indicates that the present owners of the California Development com pany are going promptly ahead with their great plans for the development of this Valley. This canal will supply water to all the lands west of New rlv- CT out to the sand dunes and will add about 10000 acres to Imperial Water company No, 8. It will make 1t pos slbe for the land owners around what was Pelican lake and Badger lake to secure water supply and join in the
