Editor Howe must surely have misjudged the intelligence of the Imperial Valley people if he imag- iued for one minute that the story of some mysterious railroad man going out of the way to in some mysterious manner inform him about railroad matters in the Inn perial valley would be believed by even d few. If there be one even in Imperial who believes such stories he certainly is to be pitied by the rest of the com munity.

The putting on of the express car service in the valley should awaken the interest of every gar dener and truck man in the val ley and should be a stimulus to the growing of all kinds of early vegetables for the Los Angeles market. The shipments from the valley now go straight through to Los Angeles without being transferred and consequent ly without any unnecessary hand ling.

We're surprised TO find an artist Of such
magnitude. His rendition of the first
number was mastery. showing deep
thought in the Interpretation of the
different movements The contrasts
We're brought out beautifully.
Raff's LeGalop was played well but.
in 1T there wasn't the same chance for
melody as in the composition by Pad

most artistically. En- Route demanded,
especially in the climax, great skill,
but 1T was accomplished with remark
able ease. The concerto finished the
programme and was the climax of a
very attractive programme. Miss Shaw,
the yioliniste, deserves the warlnest
praise for her assistance and Profess

exceedingly we'll in the concerto. Care

Crop Conditions Around Grandin Are
all That Could Be Desired


Grandin, N d.. May 23..-To The Fo-
rum: We want to take exception to
many of your half-hearted western
correspondents who seem to think that
we are not going to have any crop this
year. In this locality seeding Is prac-
tically done and prospects were never
better for the best crop in years. We
are now hauling out some wheat be-
fore the drop which will follow when
crop conditions in the Red River valley
become known in the east Winter
wheat and rye have stood the winter
and cold spring in fine shape and now
cover the ground with a pretty coat
Of green, fully demonstrating that we
need not depend altogether on the
opening of spring for spring work. y
Work on the county ditch we win
begin at once and, will have plenty Of
work to keep sus busy until harvest.
VIII ask that you say for us that
through the season has been somewhat
backward we have never had the val
ley go back on expectations and this
year we expect it to surpass all prev
ious records. With regards to the
major. we are, Mccoy e. Sons.
