enough to test the adaptability of soil and climate to the produc- ton of crops. Redlands has no thought of going into cotton growing as a business, and one plant grown in a garden is of no commercial importance. Texans living in Imperial Valley have planted small fields and grown several hundred cotton plants, and they will plant some acres in cotton this season. They are not chasing rainbows, but they are ready to put up a cotton gin just as soon as the acreage re- quired is assured.
 In its eagerness to take a whack at Los Angeles, the San Diego paper filings a thoughtless sheer at ohe of the evidences of intelligent development of the agricultural resources of Imperial Valley.
 It has been demonstrated that cotton grows better here than in Texas. The plants are much taller, reaching a height of six feet. and the yield is from three to six times greater. EXperl- enced growers pronounce the cot ton superior in quality and they are certain that Imperial Valley is one of the best cotton regions in the world as to soil and eli matic conditions. There is no guess work about it.
 Cotton will be grown here be- cause the crop is profitable and because the picking will give steady employment between fruit seasons and constitute a very de- sirable supplementary industry.

IMPERIAL COTTON
Not a Garden Freak, But Demon
 stration of Industrial Value

Not Garden Freak, But a Demon
 straton of Industrial Value
 The San Diego Union is inritat- ated because a cotton plant grown in a Redlands garden attracts only passing notice, while an eX- hibit of Imperial Valley cotton arouses great interest and leads the Los Angeles papers to dis cuss the possibilities of cotton growing on Q large scale and the building of mills to manufacture the product. The Union says:
 Redlands is by far too modest
 or too much afraid of the rain bow-chasing act and next morn ing's awakening.
 There is quite a difference be- tween raising a plant as a garden specimen and experimenting with cotton on a scale large

An Optimist

Herr William Lange, a German man of letters, is a hopeful soul and a prophet of progress. He predicts that the forests supply ing wood pulp will be exhausted in thirty years, and that the con- sequent increased cost of print ing paper will compel reduction in the size of newspapers, disap- pearance of the yellow journal, subsistence of the flood of fool fiction and reduction to the mini mum of the output of cheap lit erature and ragtime compositions. Loss of the forests is a heavy price to pay for the blessings enumerated, but almost any cal amity is preferable to perpetua- tion of yellow journalism.

A summation of the work of the Reclamation Service for 1907 shows that it has dug 1,S15 miles of canals, or nearly the distance from Washington to Idaho. Some of these canals carry whole riv- CTS. like the Truckee river in Ne vada and the North Pla tte in Wy oming. The tunnels excaVated are 56 in number, and have an aggregate length of 10 3-4 miles. The Service has erected Enlarge structures, including the great dams in Nevada and the Minido- ka dam in Idaho so feet high and 660 feet long. It has completed 67O headworks, fumes, etc. It has built ell miles of wagon road in mountainous country and into heretofore inaccessible regions. It has erected and in operation 83O miles of telephones. Its own cement mill has manufactured 8O,OO0 barrels of cement, and the purchased amount is 403, 900 bar rels. It's own saw mills have cut 3.O36, GOO feet B. M. of lumber, and 23,685, ,000 feet have been purchased. The surveying par ties of the service have complet- ed topographic surveys covering 1O,97O square miles, an area greater than the combined areas of Massachusetts and Rhode Is- land. The transit lines had a length of IS, linear miles, while the level lines run amount to A, 218 miles, or nearly suffici- ent to go around the earth,
 The diamond drllllngS for dam sites and canals amount to 66,- 749 feet, or more than 12 miles. To-day the Service owns and has at work 1, 800 horses and mules. It operates 9 locomotives, 611 cars and g miles of railroad, 84 gasoline engines and 70 steam engines. It has constructed and isoperating 5 electric light plants. There have been excavated 33,- 419, 222 cubic yards of earth and 4,745, 900 cubic yards of rock. The equipment now operated by the Service represents an invest ment of a million dollars.

BEGIN DRAINAGE TUNNEL.
Big Bore at Cripple Creek to Be
Pushed.

TdoHSos
Denyer,-A special to the News from
Colorado Springs says:
Dirt is flying on the new Cripple
Creek drainage tunnel. The tunnel
boar held meeting in Colorado
Springs Thursday, at which the follow
Ing resolution was presented:
Resolved. that work be started at
once to build the intermediate tunnel
from its portal to the. Vindicator
mine"
President S. S. Bernard then an
nounced to the other members of the
board that work on the big bore was
actually begun yesterday. when he ar
ranged to have the assessment work
for this year done on the tunnel claim.
Instructions were issued by the COM
mittee to-day to continue this work.
and the tunnel will now be rushed to
completion.
Approximately $500. 900 has been act
ually subscribed to the project, which
will construct the tunnel to what Is
known as the contact, from when
point 1t is the intention to continue 1t
to the eastern end of the camp. The
additional work will entail an expendi-
ture of as much money, but as this has
been practically pledged, President
Bernard expresses the opinion that the
bore will be built as originally planned,
and that at least $S25, 900 will be spent.
While that amount has been pledged.
the original pledges were allowed TO
lapse, which explains the decision of
few days ago to raise half of the money
and build the tunnel as far as the CON
tact and then arrange to extend IL 10
the Vindicator mine.
OF the money pledged, $750,0OO has
beel subscribed by the mining COM
pauies. $4,000 by the railroads, and
$25 900 by the mills and smelters. the
railroads have actually subscribed $25,-
900, the remainder being part OF the
contingent fund of $i50,090, to be paid
in later for extending the tunnel from
the contact
A committee composed of President
Bernard, Frank G. Peck and F. F. Cas-
tello was appointed to-day and IN
structed to purchase machinery ana
superintend the operations from now
on. A cash assessment of 100000 was
made on the subscribers to the project
at to-day's meeting, which insures
The beginning of the work on scale
mat will warrant the confidence OF the
public in the enterprise. This assess
ment represents one-tenth of the $4Oo,-
900 which has been raiseu to date.
The impression that the tunnel is to
be constructed only as far as the con
tact Is erroneous" continued Presi-
dent Bernard while the money we
have actually raised will only continue
II to that point, believe the pledges
of $3.50, 900 made by the mine owners
several months ago will be fulfilled to
the dollar. We are now securing re-
newai of these pledges and expect to
make up the deficit that will enable us
to extend the tunnel from the point OF
contact to the eastern end of the camp
as originally planned"

Mr.. Makers resemblance to the prcsi-

when he speaks or smiles he is obliged
to acknowledge that owing either to
the subduing atmosphere Of the court
or to the lack of dental qualifications.
he cannot vie with the chief executive
at the other end of the avenue.
The resemblance of Senators Aldrich
and Foraker is also striking. although

similarity is frequently commented
upon.

STRIKING RESEMBLANCE
OF MEN In PUBLIC LIFE

G TRIKING facial resemblances of
y men in public life and in official
circles in this city are frequently com
mented upon. There are three men
widely known whose similarity of
face and form is so striking that
queer mistakes of identity are expe-
rienced every now and then. The re-
semblance of the president to his dis
tinguished secretary of the navy and
attorney general, Mr.. Moody, has al
ways been the subject of remark and
now and then of humorous mistakes.
Now that Mr. Moody has been ele-
waited, or at least transferred, to the
supreme court of the United States.
he has come across another do>ible

galleries at such times, and this does
noe cause the senator from South

eass over the lost reference.
Bat always he succeeds in finding
the lost bit of paper in time. He sim
ply will not proceed until he does find
1t, and he has searched for as long as
ten minutes, while senate and audi
ence waited. Then he goes ahead
with his argument.
His gestures are those of man
wholly unframed in the art of oratory.
but somehow the Hacking gestures
seem to belong to and to suit the flow
of words when the senator becomes
thoroughly wrought up. For all that
he is very well read man. the sena-
tor is Still rough diamond.
