BREAK IS CLOSED
And Business Picks Up Immediately. All the Towns Feel Pulse
 Quicken

Now that the Col prado river is again under control and pr Rctcally the only draw back the ImperAa valley has had to contend with Is at last done away with, it Is expected thak great revival of business will take pIaee. It was but natural that spirit \pf depression should possess the people, of the valley during the period of uncertainty that enveloped us for some time, but never theless the courage of our people Is not easily weakened and improvements have been steadily going on in every section of the valley. New buildings have been going up In every town and new acreage has been put into crops In every vicinity.
 But now the time has come when things will move much more rapidly. Those who were rather timd before will come to the front with enthusiasm and will do all the more because of their former lack of confidence that the river will be shut out.
 The hotels of the valley are already enjoying larger lists of guests and ev- eryone who comes here from the out side is looking for a piece of land. The cantaloupe growers feel in the best of spirits; in fact. their optimistic view of the situation seems to be infec- tious, for Heber has symptoms of the fever and an additional acreage of the famous Imperial valley cantaloupes will quite likely be planted there.
 The greatest activity in building is going on at Fl Centro and the crying need of the contractors here Is for more help. The ice plant Is being rushed to completion, the creamery is needed, the new power plant for the Holton Power Go. is yet to be built, new cottages are under way.
 Of course with the shutting off of the water comes so many r4arrArge- ments that inconveniences will be e perienced. The water for irrigation will now have to come through the ce- ment headgate and the intake to this will have to be dredged out and the main canal leading from the gate will have to be deepened all of which | takes time. but not of long duration. It is believed that ten days or two weeks will see a sufficient amount of water running again to supply all needs. The irrigation water at present is not particularly inadequate. but the Holton Power company, which furnishes light and power throughout the valley, Is suffering for the want of water to run its turbine, consequently all the towns of the valley ale discomoded alike. There is never any water used for power when there is a likelihood that such use would cause shortage of IT, rigation water.

SP PRAYING FOR
GOBLIN MOTH

Preparing to Handle
Large Crop
Charleston Bureau Evening Teller.

Charleston Bureau Evening Teller.
CHARLESTON, Wash, April Ia
I'VE will commence our spraying for
the Goblin moth in the course of the
next two weeks" said Fruit Inspector
George w. Ferguson this morning.
The spray which is to be used is a
solution of arsenate Of lead. The mix
ture is sprayed into the calyx cup be-
fore 1t closes to form the fruit; when
the moth commences its boring into
the little cup it finds the poison and
is killed.
| 1--WE are not fearing any heavy frosts
| this late in the season and with the
present prospects before us it will! De
| quandary to most orchardists In the
! fiat how to handle the crop. We have
not the necessary facilities to dispose
of the huge crop which is surely conf
! ing. With a packing factory and a
canery and shippers sending carloads
out of the country to foreign Eastern
markets, we will still have an abund-
ance of fruit to handle in the local
market"
Spraying for the San Jose scale has
been practically completed in the
Snake river country and in only two
instances was It necessary to bring
legal proceedings to bear to enforce
the spraying law: those cases were
where the orchards We're ntangled in
some litigation. The moth spraying
will commence this week In the upper
Snake river country ebcause that coun-
try is so much earlier than this"
