 Working under Association plans the Asparagus can be all brought into the shipping shed, weighed up and the pools made, just the same as on Can taloupes or any other fruit, and by such a method the whole communityis is ben efited and protected, for if you have a proper distributor he will protect you from the sharks and skin commission men of the country and through the Association every grower will receive ample and proper protection and 1 thought it would do no harm to bring to the notice of the growers, that In my judgment each Association in the Val ley should appoint committee to i'm mediately go to work and find out the best place 10 buy the Asparagus roots Cor whatever they are called) to lnves- tigate thoroughly and see that they get the goods that have no disease and each member of the Association start in and make an Asparagus bed.

About Rheumatism

There are few diseases that infict more torture than rheumatism and there is probably no disease for which such varied and useless lot of remedies have been suggested. To say that it can be cured is, therefore, a bold state ment to make, but Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which enloys an extensive sale, has met with great success ill the treat ment of this disease. One application of Pain Balm will relieve the pam, and hundreds of sufferers. have testified to permanent cures by it's use. Why suffer when Pain Balm affords such quick re- lief and costs but trif1e? For sale by all dealers.

EDITOR PRESS,
 FL CENTRo, CAL.
 DEAR SIR: hope that my intense interest in the success of Imperial Val ley will permit of taking small space in your paper to speak upon industry that think should be worked up at once, or when the proper time for next planting arrives.
 "A few words from New York and the Eastern cities in reference 10 As paragus may be of interest to the farm CTS of the Imperial Valley. There is always question in the mind of a grower whether crop can be market ed profItably and how much can be marketed. As understand the sltua- ton in Imperial Valley, without any question, it can be made the earliest section for Asparagus, and If such is the case you have the entire East (and by the East mean everything East of California; to ship Asparagus to, but laying aside all the small markets, Chicago, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, New York and Boston will take several cars day. at prices ranging from $4.OO to $500 dozen, consisting of two and one-half pound punches.
 The, variety that has large demand is the green" and of course that can be produced by letting the stalks come out of the ground little longer before cutting, and in selecting the kind to plant it is wise to have both the white" and the green because if the Valley will plant large acreage, there is no question but what a canning factory will be quickly established in the Valley

GEN. PRESCOTT HELPS
Officials of Los Angeles Land Office Assist Imperial Valley People in
 Securing Proper ReSurVey

As further evidence of the friendly attitude of the officials of the United States toward the settlers in this Valley as shown by their efforts in our behalf, we point out the good work of General F. C. Prescott, the Register, and Hon. o. R. w. Robinson, the Receiver of the Los Angeles Land Office h the matter of getting the resurvey tange strengthened out. Just as soon as these gentlemen took office and came in contact with this trouble they made enquiries and informed themselves fully concerning the matter. Having done this they at once took 1t up with Senator Flint and with the Commis- sloner of the General Land Office at Washington and made strong plea for justice for the settlers.
 General Prescott has had a great deal of experience in public life and he has long since learned that one Senator is worth any number of names on petition when one wants to get action from a Governmental Depart ment He therefore added his power full influence to the request that was being made to Senator Flint to inter- est himself in our behalf.
 The following letter from the Sena- tor to General Prescott explains itself: HoN. FRANK c. PRESCOTT,
 Register U. $. Land Office,
 Los Angeles, Cal
 My DEAR GENERAL: l acknowledge re- ceipt of yours of March 17th, in refer ence to resurveys in the Imperial Val ley. l have conferred with the officials of the General Land office in reference to this matter and they advise me that instructions have been sent to the Sur. veyor-General of California to resurvey the lands in question by metes and bounds, as desired by the settlers, and that when the records of the resurveys are received by the Department, if there are any cases where the lands have not been thus surveyed, they will have same corrected. Yours truly,
 FRANK P. FLINT.
 This letter shows that not only was the work of getting the Commissioner of the General Land Office to correct his former order taken up promptly but that the matter was not permitted to drift or left to chance after it was taken up. Senator Flint's letter shows that the bona-fide occupants are to have their lands surveyed to them by metes and bounds as desired by them and that if any are overlooked or left out for any cause at the time the sur vey Is made, when the records of the surveys are received they will have them corrected. This letter of the Senator's makes the situation very clear indeed. Every settler will be taken care Of and will get the identical land he has taken up. In order to car ry out the work of making the resurvey on those lines Senator Flint has had an appropriation of S2O,ooo made for doing the work. This money will be available July lst next and very likely the corrections in the survey will be made durjnp the next fall and winter

Against the Union Printers

Saturday afternoon Judge
Pollock ordered the temporary
restraining order against the
Union Printers on a strike in
Fargo continued until the case
could be tried upon it's merits in
court. The action was brought
some time ago by the different
offices that refused to sign up
with the union Jan. 1st and it
was claimed in the action that
the union printers were using
means not within the law to
keep non-union printers from
working. The case, when it
comes to trial will be watched
with interest by all printers and
newspaper men in the west and
especially in North Dakota.

FOR CHEAPER
FUELAND LIGHT
Congressman Marshall Speaks for his
Denaturized Alcohol Bill-.-Says It
Means Cheaper Fuel and Light.

Washington, March 3.-Repre-
sentative Marshall of North Da-
kota, author Of the bill for the
removal of internal revenue tax
on denaturized alcohol, appear
ed before the committee on ways
and dmeans. He urged that the
bill is intended to afford the
farming interests of the country
cheaper fuel and light. Mr.. Mar
shall said many farming COM
munities are unable to get salts
factory gasoline and kerosene for
power and lighting purposes at
a reasonable price and insisted
that farmers should be enabled
to utilize their grain in making
fuel and illuminating fluid.
DR.. H. w. Wiley, chief of chem
istry for the department of agri-
culture said that when corn is
not hardening the stalk contains
the same percentage of ferment-
able material that the grain con-
tains and is suitable for making
alcohol.
Representative Murdock Of
Kansas, Steenerson Of Mime
sofa, and Hoar of Massachusetts,
also spoke in favor of the bill.
Secretary Shaw said that in
his opinion the revenues of the
country are now in such con-
dition that the government can
afford to remove the tax or de-
naturized alcohol. He said that
bill should permit the treasury
department great latitute in
supervising the manufacture Of
such alcohol and preventing
frauds by the sale Of grain al
cohol before it had been made
unfit for drinking purposes.
