WASHINGTON TRANSFORMATION

When Senator Flint went to Commissioner Richards of the General Land Office to protest on behalf of the Imperial Valley people against the ruling requir- ing them to have fully paid up water stock before he would issue patents on their lands, Mir. Richards informed him that he was aware of the situation in this Valley. That he had before him the report of the Geological Survey of date October Eth, 1904, and from it learned that under the present irrigation system, on which all these entrymen must rely for water, not more than so, to 6O,OOO acres can be irrl- gated while contracts have been made to supply water to irrigate more than 100000 acres.

The motor for the ice plant ar rived last Saturday and has been duly installed and connected with the electric current from the power plant and put to work at its lifelong job of running the ice machine. The arrival of this motor was delayed for almost a month by reason of the destruc- tion of the railroad records in the

Imperial is making strenuous endeavor to secure a vote in favor of the high school movement they are fathering Quite a. number of their sponsors are in the field trying to convince the people of Holtville, Eastside, Brawley and Sunset Springs that they should bind themselves up in a high school district at the present time. And the won- derful promises and pledges these people are willing to make. They are willing to pledge the votes of generation yet unborn if need be, to carry their point which is to fool the people into tying themselves up to Imperial. No one, not even the makers of these pledges themselves can pretend that they have any value. It is campaign talk, pure and simple, and the people to whom it is made put the proper valuation on it. The makers of these promises are out to get votes for their scheme and their talk should deceive no one. The people to whom it is made will give 1t no attention whatever, but will decide for themselves, whether or not they want to be tied up to Imperial.

It's shame the Honorable Commissioner can't visit the Val ley and sec what a riotous wealth of water we have. He would be speedily convinced that the Geo. logical Surveys report was out of date. A few figures along that line may prove interesting by way of comparison: The present flow of the Colorado river is about 7O,OO0 cubic feet per sec oud, of which about one fifth, or 14,000 cubic feet per second is going down the old channel of the Colorado to the Gulf. The re- maining 56,OOO feet per second is coming down the New Channel, Imperial river, Mexican intake, or whatever you please, to the Imperial Valley, Of course some Of this water may be fol- lowing the Quail river cut off, and overflowing its way into Volcano lake and out through Hardy river into the Gulf. But the great bulk of this water is passing through this Valley into Salton Sea.
 We have a reconnaissance map of this entire country, from be- yond Indio to the head of the Gulf of California, published from data gathered by the government up to January 1st, 1906. This map shows Salton Sea to have been 247 square miles in area at that time and the water level was 253 feet below sea level. The water level is now 229 feet below sea level, the area of the lake is not less that 400 square miles, and the water rose two feet dur ing the week from May 19 to May %. It is easily possible to estimate how many cubic feet of water per second is being added to Salton Sea. Four hun dred miles is approximately 25O,OOO acres. Two feet deep would make 5OO,OOO acre feet of water during the week. As one cubic foot per second will flow about two acre feet in "A hours, 1t can be cen that we have to divide 25O, 1000 cubic feet by z. the number of days in the week, and our answer is 35,714 cubic feet of water per second, now be- ing discharged into the Salton Sea. This is enough water to
Imperial Valley press and the Imperial press., 1906-06-02

irrigate 300, 900 acres of land every day. and give 1t a good Imperial soaking, too. And we would not be surprised if the water rose three feet per week for the next four weeks. It is time some other department of the government made a report on our water supply so as to bring the Commissioners inform ation up to date. The water at the present time extends from our headgates to the Rocky Mountains, and we wish the Land Commissioner knew it.

SELLING A BIRTHRIGHT
From the Brawley News.

hSth thS Dh ANSHSs
 Shall Brawley, like Esau, sell its birthright for mess ot pot tage, that Imperial should re- 'ceive blessing? Why should Brawley be sacrificed on the altar of Imperial's interests?
 Yet this is precisely what is being advocated by those few who would have Brawley join Imperial in high school district that the supremacy of the older town may be retained.
 The issue before the people is not whether there shall be a high school in the Imperial Valley. 1t IS not question of the educa- tiou of the young. It is purely political and economical as re- suit of the rivalry between I'm perial and El Centro.
 Why should Brawley be drawn into a fight between two capi- talists when it has no concern in the matter?
 A high school will be provided in the valley-at Fl Centro if not at Imperial, and as 1t is not necessary for Brawley to yoke its future with anyone, why should it be done? What has Imperial ever done for Brawley that it should be thus. favored?
 Hardly line appears in the Imperial paper by which the out side world may know of the Garden Spot of the Imperial Valley" save in sarcasm, such as calling Brawley a "pigweed park" and "weedpatch."
 The Imperialists talk only of one large central town in the valley-Imperial- with number of good LITTLE towns, but the big town is always to be Imperial.
 "On what meat does this our Caesar feed, that he is waxed so great?" A glance at map of the Imperial Valley shows that Brawley is the center of as much territory as the southern city, and had it not beeu for the mis- fortune of the continued flow of l the river. Imperial could show Brawley nothing at the present | time in which it might excell. | As it is, the only tract of land at ! Brawley not affected by the rivers. No. 4, has more substan- tial improvements and is more ! thickfy. settled than any other equal portion of the farming community of the valley, and it is two years younger than Inn perial. With the advantages of No. 4 extended to Nos. 5 and 8, where will Imperial be in two years Under these circnm- stances, is it wise to enter al
Imperial Valley press and the Imperial press., 1906-06-02

The petitions have promised that the district shall not be bonded. But although private subscription may furnish facili- ties the first year, with increas- ing needs what will be done the second or third year. There is nothing binding upon the high school trustees that they may not bring the bond issue before the voters at any time. In that case, Brawley, had it entered, might wish to withdraw. What does the law say on this matter? Sec 167O of the political code reads: -. =.
 'Auy district contained in union or joint uuiou high schoel district may in like manner withdraw from snch union or joint union dis trict by action of the Board of Supervisors of the county in which the district is located upon such terms as may be agreed upon be- tween the trustees of the school sistrict seek. ing to withdraw and the high school board, whenever a ma aiority of the heads of families constituting the union joint union high school district and two thirds of the heads of families residing iu the district seeking to withdraw, according to the number of heads of families shown by the last proceeding school census, shall present to such Board of Super visors a petition consentiug to such with drawal, accompanied by like petition signed by a maiOrity of the composing the high school board"
 The high school proposition, as laid down by Imperial, must be considered from a business point of view and not with any idea of sentiment. The difficult ties in the way of withdrawing are almost insurmountable The Imperial petitioners may promise but they may as well promise to make the sun, moon and stars to stand still as assert that Brawley will be allowed to withdraw when 1t so desires.
 Was Imperial alone concerned in the district-a majority might in time be secured for Brawley, but with Holtville and Eastside also included, that plan would be of dou btful success.
 If Imperial wants high school there are plenty of dis tricts nearer than Brawley to make up the desired number of 800 census children. The chil- dren can be sent to whatever high school may be located in the valley and the highest tuition that can be charged is the differ ence per pupil between the provided by the state and the cost of maintainanCe of the district.
 Many of the signatures to the petition for a union high school with Imperial were secured be- fore it was generally known that there was a another movement for a high school, and that in order to provide proper facilities, 1t would not be necessary to mite with district which has totally ignored Brawley except when some favor was wanted.
 The whole thing has been .ailroaded through by the pe- :itions and the county superin- .endent of schools in order to secure vote before the people should fully realize what lies be- ore them. The election is Tune 5.

San Francisco fire. This made it impossible to trace the car in which it was shipped and in the confusion which resulted the de- lay occurred. This delay howev- CT was seized upon by some peo. pie as an opportunity to spread all kinds of evil reports against the Holton Power company and the success of it's enterprises. It was boldly asserted in Imperial that the entire enterprise was a failure, the machinery would not run and that the order for this motor had been cancelled. It was given out by these people that an eminent engineer had carefully examined the entire plant aud condemned it as being absolutely worthless. The arriV- al of the motor and the operation of the plant of course gives the lie to all such silly stories, but the fact remains that they were told with great gusto and were evidently much relished by those who believed them. Nothing but the spirit of envy would con- coct and disseminat such ridicu- lous stories.
 The statement the Imperial Standard makes in its issue of June 1st that w. F. Holt is op- posing the education of the young in this Valley is too ridiculous a lie to merit notice. Mir. Holt has not said word against the proposed Imperial high school except to express the opinion that Ho1tville for business req sons should keep out of it. Had MT. Holt felt any great interest iu the matter he would have sent in the petitions fot the high school that were first circulated and signed by the Holtville and Eastside people. Had he been concerned about 1t he could have filed that petition a week before he did and Imperial would have been cut off entirely. To lie about the man who had 1t in his power for a whole week to knock them out and refrained from do- ing it comes with poor grace but then the Standard always was a graceless sheet.
