FALSE REPORTS

In the meeting held here last
 Saturday a resolution was passed
 denouncing the sensational stories
 which have eminated from the
 associated press correspondent in
 the valley. Of course it is un-
 derstood by many that these cor-
 respondents received so much per column of acceptable stuff and
 most any kind of a story can be
 strung out" to greater length if
 it is written in the sensational
 vein and it is also quite evident
 that when the sensational begins
 the truth departs, or, at least, IS terribly disfgured by lingering near. In many instances it would seem that space (money) has giv- ell the preference over dry, sordid
 facts and the valley has been made to suffer not only from its real troubles, but from imaginary ones as well. The Press does not believe these resolutions were passed in a spirit of exact ami mostly, but everyone present be- lieved that they were justified i'll taking this action in self defense against those who have particu- larly nothing at stake save the passing possible revenue derived from distorted tales. This sort of thing is very unjust, not only to us here in the valley, but to those readers of the daily papers who are dealing with valley mer- chants. It is a fact that in Los to-day there are whole salers who question the advisa- bility of filling unusually large orders, not that they in any way doubt the integrity of their GUS toners, but they ale fearful that by the time a shipment may have arrived it would have to be re- ceived on boats, so distorted and sensational have been the reports from here. The correspondents should be asked to keep within else the Los Angeles papers at least should take the precaution to telegraph to some persoh for conforma- ton.

MUST BE EXAMINED

A dispatch says that the presi- dent has determined to put an end, if possible, to frauds in the acquisition of public lands by in- dividuals and corporations. He has directed that hereafter no patent shall be issued to public land until an examination of the ground shall have been made by an authorized officer of the gov ernment. The presidents order is in the form of.a letter to secre- tary Hitchcock and under its pro- visions orders are being sent out to-day to officials of the general land office.
 This is step in the right di- rection; if such an order had been issued many years ago and fol- lowed up closely by the govern ment officials great many of the messes which are now being stirred up throughout the west ern part of the United States would not have existed. Itcomes however, at an especially oppor- tune time for the Imperial Valley. Ifthere are any trying to obtain lands not justly due them let it be settled now and avoid the ne cessity of being In turmoil when we have once become settled and peaceful. By all means let each piece of land be thoroughly in' vestigated before patent is is sued.

Word has been received by the San Diego County Water Users Association that their articles of incorporation have been correctly drawn, but that incorporation at the present time was not neces- sary, b cause there had been nothing done nor any law pas Sed whereby any action could now be taken by the association or the reel amation service, Itis all very well to be prepared to take the work when the time comes, but this needless agitation and the signing of paper that you won't do this and will do that is prem ature in the extreme. Let's wait and see what the outcome at Washington is before we go any farther.

IN THE RUSSIAN STYLE.
Curious National Customs Observed
at South Dakota Marriage.

A double wedding in the Russian
colony at Hosedale. S. D., south of
Alexandria, lasted through an entire
day and into the evening. The names
of the principals were Joseph Mandel
and Katherine Hofer, and Michael
Waldner and Katherine Gross.
The ceremony was begun in the
morning in the little stone church, in
which the old custom OF the men and
women sitting on opposite sides still
prevails. The Russian priest deliv-
cred long sermon, and at 11:20
o'clock he called. the principals to the
front of the edifice, the women going
first and being followed by the young
men. The ceremony proper was spok-
en- in Russian, and lasted but short
time. 1t was followed by prayer
and song and then brides and BRIDE
grooms returned to their separate
seats.
The bridal costumes of the couples
were very simple, the maidens wear
ing flannelette gowns with hand
kerchief tied over their heads. The
bridegrooms. however. were dressed
little more fastidiously, in that they
wore regular wedding suits. chief Of
which was a long coat. A popularity
about the coat is that 1t Is worn BY
every bridegroom in the settlement,
