south side cemetery, where Memorial
services will be held; from South Side
cemetery the prt cesslon will march to
the Soldiers Monument in Monument
Square. where the service of decorating
the monument in honor of our noble
dead, will be performed. From Monu-
ment Square the procession will march

services will again be held. All soldiers
and sailors are cordially Invited to join
with US 10 the service. The civic orders,
the schools and the citizens are invited
to join with us in keeping fresh the
memory of our noble dead.
The return of spring with its opening
buds and blooming flowers reminds us
of the approach of that day so dear to
the heart of every true soldier, Memorial
Day To the men on whose graves we
shall sire flowers we owe all that we
now are, the nation owes all that it is,
or ever will be. humanity owes the
greatest demonstration of government
of the people by the people and for the
people which was not blotted from the
earth and the hands of the dial of civil
| ization turned back for centuries We
cannot approach this great ceremonial
with hearts too devotedly thankful, no
words can properly eulogize the service
that these honored dead performed for
the world in their own absolute sacrifice
of self The very best we can do is but
meager tribute to their worth and what
they accomplished Let us all give our
whole hearts to the beautiful and i'm
pressive duty

ever for the U. g. district court and was therefore not necessary to the court.
 To this he added that there was no similar case anywhere else, that fed- eral judge had appointed commission CT simply to transact land office busi- ness. Judge Wellbern then reminded Register Crookshank and Receiver Kin ney of his promise to them when theap- pointment was made and asked if they now requested that the office of U. &. commissioner at Imperial be abolished. They both said that they did so the matter ended there, the meeting coming to an end. The next day we filed our resignation and Judge Wellborn abol- ished the office.
 This is the history of the United States commissionership at Imperial and our incum bency of the office but it is not full history of the efforts of the old California Development company push to secure the office in the first pldCty COllbiOl ll NliiiO Ab WdS LII CAlSb- ence or have it abolished when they found they could not secure it for them selves or control it after it was estab- lshed. Any statement to the effect that we were reprimanded by Judge Wellborn or were lucky to escape prison bars is an unmitigated falsehood. All other statements concerning us. pub lished by Howe in his paper of June Sth are also falsehoods. Howe has returned to this Valley as the tool of the same old California Development company push that he has always served when in the Valley and any statement he may make on any matter will be such as will best serve their ends regardless of ev- erything else.
