Want Concerted Action.

Bearing upon the above. we herewith print the following tel agram from the Brawley Cham Der of Commerce:
 To J. w. Darlington, President Yuma
 Commercial Club.
 BRAWLEY, Cal, Dec. 15, 1906. To Chamber of Commerce, Yuma,
 Arizona.
 Kindly use your influence for concerted action of Chambers of Commerce and people of South ern California, that Congress afford immediate aid for govern mental control and relief in stemming the Colorado, thus insuring the safety of millions of property and life to the peo- pie of the Imperial valley. BRAWLEY CHAMBER OF COM.
 MERGE.
 In response to the above ap- peal the Yuma County Conner cial Club met today and passed strong resolutions, petitioning Congress to take immediate ac- ton for governmental control of the Colorado river, and to ap- propriate money for that pur- pose.
 The resolutions and petitions of the citizens of Yuma were forwarded to Senator Flint of California, to use in bis effort to secure prompt Congressional action in the matter.
 Owing to the impending crisis in the Imperial valley, caused by the latest break in the Colo rado river, the combined inter ests of the Imperial canal sys- tenn and of that valley have ar ranged to secure the Southern Pacific Company in the amount of several hundred thousand dollars to aid in closing the intake. Part of this security is in the form of bonds (S500, 000) to be issued by the Mutual Wa ter Company. In addition, the people of the Imperial valley have donated the services of 800 men and 800 horses for thirty days. In the mean time, Gen eral Manager H. T. Corey has been proceeding with prepara- tions for the work, which will he on a scale much greater than heretofore. Ten pile-drivers are being constructed and a double track built from Hanlon's head ing to the levee works.
 On account of the great inter ests at stake in the Imperial val, ley and the magnitude and cost of controlling the Colorado riv. CT, it is obviously a matter for the immediate attention of the National Government, and we believe that Congress will heed the call for help from the I'm. perial country and appropriate money to save the homes of those pioneers of the reclaimed desert.

We were asked this week by @ delinquent subscriber why we kept on sending the paper after the subscription date had expir- ed. Every weekly newspaper in towns of this size are forced to do this. Should we stop sub- scriptions when time expires, nine times out of ten the sub- scrlber would give us a calling down" for insinuating that his credit was not good. Rather than to cast a reflection against the honesty of a subscriber to pay a small debt it is next to a necessity for a home paper to continue after the time has ex. pired. It is not necessary for the city dailies or weeklies to follow this rule, as their sub scriberS live at a distance and are not personal friends as is the ease with a majority of our sub scriberS. Our subscribers should deem it an honor to know that we do not doubt their integrity and continue to send them the pa per after their time has expired. Shoald any want their paper discontinued they should notify us and remit to date if they have not already done so.

said that the sewer ought to extend 40
feet further up the creek, as the way Il
was in the specifications, 1t should con
meet into the creek. which would give a
sharp curve into the sewer and eonse'
quently would wash the emhankmen',
which in case of feshet would wash II
away. Barry gave the details of the
way in which the extra work was to be

quied 9f the pipe, with wooden box
at the upper end, For this work he
said that Goodin wanted to charge $ll5

we told him to have Goodin so ahead
and do the work required"
The following dialogue took place be-

the matters
A. I did not.
Q. Did you ever hear OF any com
