MEXICALI WILL
 HAVE SCHOOL Republic of Mexico Is FaVOrinO the Growing Border TOwn-New
 Custom House

Mexico Is at present taking great interest in the hustling border town of Mexlcali. The government has de- cIded to put in fine public school building, to cost $16 900, new GUS tom house and new jail. The town Is to be plated, lots sold and lncor. porated In order to make local govern ment easier for the officials.
 Senor Enrique O. Calderon, Visit ador de Aduanas, has been the guest of MT. and Mrs. Manuel Cuesta, Mexi can consul In Calexico, for some time. His official position Is Inspector of Consulates and he represents his home government thoroly. He states that the money for the School, $l6.ooo Is already in hand and the only thing to be done before its expenditure Is to get the town In the proper shape for government.
 The customs house has been doing an enormous business for Mexlcall, averaging near $45 GOO per month in values admitted. The duties amount to quite a sum and the government feels that 1t Is no more than right that Mexlcal should get some of the benefits.

Still Friends, Certainly.

San Diego Herald: Imperial county is now a reality. While San Diego has lost large slice of it's best territory, it has not lost the friendship of the people of the new county, who are not insensible to the unselfiSh atti tude the residents of the west ern part of the county have as sumed from the time county di- vision was first proposed. The San Diego county officials and the press of the city have not attempted to interfere with the affairs of their eastern neigh bors-have not advocated the selection of any particular place for the county seat, nor recon mended the election of any par ticular set of officers. It ought not to be a hard task to bury the hatchet in such fertile soil as Imperial possesses. It was only a small family spat, after all.

TO PROTECT RIGHTS
COaCheIIa Valley People Must Look
 After Water Supply

The Coachella Submarine, ever mindful for the rights and needs of the farmers of the Coachella section, Is warning the people there that now Is the time to take action to protect their flow of water In the following article he points out the danger confronting them:
 "It behooves the people of Goa chella Valley to get together without delay and be doing If they want to keep their water supply intact
 The Submarine stands and proposes to stand as guardian of the rights of this valley, and 1t now sounds the warning to you when there Is yet time to prevent a loss which could hardly be overcome. Capable and eminent engineers have said time and again that the source of the bulk of water feeding our arteslans comes from the mountain streams on the San Jaclnto and San Bernardino ranges this side of the Beaumont divide. Some time ago we gave in these columns the first warning of a syndicate filing on the water ot the Whitewater. They have practically filed on all of this water with the avowed intention of diverting lt in pipes to Banning, Beaumont and other towns for use In various ways,
 The situation Is so serious that we understand United States govern ment official has filed on water at Palm Springs, Mission creek. Little Morengo and Twenty-Nne Palms to save It for the use of the Indians in the reservation, if needed.
 Now the company can be enjolned from removing or diverting the water from the natural channel, when 1t in- terferes with the supply of thls valley, It Is now up to the property owners and ranchers of this valley for quick action to make the proper enioinment. The editor of the Submarine has taken the responsibility upon himself to write the district attorney of our rights in the matter.

Los Angeles Sunday Times Five Cents

The price of The Sunday Times. when purchased faom newsdealers and newsboys and on railroad trains, is now FIVE CENTS.
 It is the largest Sunday paper in the United States, containing form l24 to 40 pages, including a surpasslng Magazine, and each complete copy weighs. approximately, two pounds. Taking into consideration the fact that 1t requires an immense modern print Ing plant and the work of between three and four hundred employees to produce an up- topdate Sunday paper. there Is probably no instance where the purchaser of a universally used ar ticle gets so much for his money as In this case. Many readers of news papers do not appreciate the fact that, were It not for the revenue received from advertisers the publishers of Sun day newspapers containing such a multitude of special and valuable feat ures as THE TIMES. could not afford to sell their papers for less than fifty cents per copy, hence the reader gets the "long end" when buying the over shadowing SUNDAY TIMES for FIVE CENTS.

will probably put out In the nelghbor- hood of 400 acres.
 The farmers about Fl Centro are also taking considerable interest In tomato culture this fall. There has been quite a lively demand for the seed left at the Press office. This should be profitable venture. It has proved so In several instances at Brawley. One thing which Is particu- larly of advantage in raising other edlbles besides cantaloupes is the labor question. If farmer can so man. age to have crop coming on at the different seasons of the year he can also manage to keep his help he year round. thus making 1t possible to with better certainty count on the re- suits of each crop.
 The prospects for the coming year regarding intensive farming were never better, and the farmer looks forward to the harvest with pleasurable antici- patton.

The county board ot supervisors at San Diego made an official canvass of the ballots cast in the recent county election In Imperial valley. The prop osltlon to establish new county car rled by the safe margin of ll2o to 88. Fl Centro wins the county seat by a vote of 563, her nearest competitor being Imperial with 455 votes. The total vote cast was 1926.
 The board Instructed District At torney Kirby to draw up resolution declaring Imperial county to be a county of the state of California of the .43rd class, Fl Centro to be the county seat, and the officers as determined by the official count to be the proper officers of the county.
 This resolution was adopted by the board Tuesday morning and sent to the secretary of the state of California. When the state secretary files the res olutlon, Imperial county becomes a separate organization, and Its officers, as soon as they are qualified may be- gin their duties.
 The amount of the bonds required of the new officers were also fixed by the supervisors Tuesday. The board was of the opinion that the officers of the new county should furnish bonds In half the amount required of the officers of San Diego county. Some protests were made by the delegates of the new county who were present at the deliberations. Imperial county, they urged, has not one half the re- sources of San Diego county, and the amount of the bonds should be fixed to correspond with the actual re- sources and valuation of the new county.
