 finished at least one through pas senger train between El Paso and Los Angeles and one or more freight trains will use the new track. Calexico, Heber, Fl Gen. tro, Imperial and Brawley then will be on a main line of trans continental traffic, and the pres ent inconveniences of travel be- tween valley points and Los An geles will be abolished.

Water for West Side.

Engineer Hermann, of the Cal ifornia Development Company was in El Centro yesterday. He said the contractors who had a strike on their hands last week have secured a new force of men and are going ahead with work on the canals. Work on the Mexican side will be finished in about two weeks or less. If all goes well, says the engineer, the canals will be completed and wa ter will be supplied to No. 8 by the first of March.

incurred in cutting the sprouts. Asparagus is ready to cut on February 1, and the season lasts 100 days. The growth is nine or ten inches in twenty-four hours. Rust does not attack asparagus in this climate. MT. Corwin de- clines to make an estimate of the returns from an acre of aspara- gus, because the figures might seem to be the product of an ov- erheated imagination, but he says the business of raising the vegetable for market is a good one for man who has no rusty hinges in his back.

 Calexico stockholders of Water Co. No. 1 met last Saturday night to discuss the proposed increase of capital stock and to consider the selection of a candidate for director. J. B. Hoffman presided and J. A. Morrison acted as sec retary. The stock proposition was debated pretty thoroughly, and a motion by Edward Carr in favor of the increase was defeat ed by a decisive vote.
 Opposition to the Silsbee plan of naming three candidates rep resenting Silsbee, El Centro and Calexico districts and combining in support of them developed, and on motion of MT. Redwood a committee of five was appoint ed to meet to-day and choose a candidate by ballot. The nomin- ating committee consists of Ed ward Carr, B. s. McCollum, J. B. Hoffman, Peter Barnes and F. Kloke.
 An adjourned meeting of the stockholders will be held tonight.

CuSIOIuS.
 POSSIBLE ANNEXATION
 It is not impossible that Lower California may be acquired by the United States. Negotiations to that end have been going on and a bill authorizing the pur- chase will be introduced during the present session of Congress by one of the California senators. In event of the passage of such a bill and completion of the pur- chase, several hundred thousand acres of irrigable land will be added to Imperial Valley and much of it doubtless will be sold in small tracts to settlers. Nat urally the region lying between the Colorado river and the Coco pah Mountains, from the present boundary to the head of the Gulf of California, would be made a part of Imperial county. It is not contiguous to any other coun- ty, and it has not sufficient popu- lation to constitute a aneW county.
 CDnArT7D COTrNTru
 Annexation to Imperial county of the triangle bounded by the Colorado, the Cocopah range and the present international line, comprising approximately 1,800 square miles or 1, 150, 900 acres, opens up vistas of magnificent possibilities. Roughly estimated, a third of the area may be irri-' gated, more than a third is wat cred by the annual overflow of the Colorado and is capable of supporting vast herds of cattle, and only a small area of land near the foothills seems to be worthless. Because of the un- equalled fertility of soil and the climatic conditions which make one acre of silt land the equiva- lent in productivity of ten acres of the best farm land elsewhere, the Imperial Valley, from the north end of Salton Sea to the junction of the Hardy and the Colorado, is capable of support ing on small farms a population or more than a million.
 OUTLET TO TIDEWATER
 When the San Diego and East ern railroad is built there will be three outlets from the valley to market by rail; to the East via El Paso; to Los Angeles on the north, and to San Diego and tide water directly west. But there is another possible outlet to the south which may mean more to Imperial Valley than any other when the Panama canal shall be opened. Beltran Slough, from a point five miles south of the boundary line and about fifteen miles by rail from CaleXico, can be converted into a navigable channel connecting with the Hardy Colorado, at a cost of about $25,0 Such a channel would give water transportation from almost the centre of the ImpeNal

Three Crops a Year the Regular Stunt of Young Vines in the
 Imperial Valley.
RAISINS FINER THAN FRESNO'S
Asparagus on the Corwin Ranch Has Jacks Beanstalk Beaten to Fraz- zIe-Successful Experiments with Fruits by an Expert Grower.

Remarkable results have been obtained in fruit-growing on the w. s. Corwin ranch, three and a half miles north of Fl Centro, particularly in growing certain varieties of grapes. MT. Corwin has fifty acres in grapes, and some of the vines are three years old. Several varieties produce two and three crops a year, and red emperors bear continuously. This week, in the middle of De- cember, MT. Corwin brought into town a quantity of ripe red en- perors in large clusters. The grapes were firm, we'll colored and in every way fit for the table.
 Among the varieties so far found adaptable to soil and eli matic conditions here are mala- gas, muscats and purple Damas- GUS. Only a few vines of the latter variety have been set out, but it has been found that the grapes grown here are superior to those of other districts. The muscat of Alexandria grows to perfection and makes a finer rais- in here than it does in the famous raisin district of Fresno, besides being month earlier in readi- ness for market. The dry heat of Imperial Valley and entire i'm munity from fog and rain during the curing season, make this an ideal raisin district. MT. Cor win has made raisins of his mus cats and has satisfied himself that raisins will give returns of better than $500 an acre.
 'Mildew does not come upon grapes here," says MT. Corwin, 'and it is necessary only to keep out phylloxera to make this the best and most profitable grape producing region in the world. There is no danger of the Ana helm disease getting in, for the dry heat will prevent it, but that same dry heat is just what phyl- loXera thrives in, and the most rigid measures must be taken to prevent it's introduction. Cut tings from infected districts will be smuggled in unless every con- signment purporting to be some thing other than vines is inspect ed. You cannot exaggerate the importance of extreme vigilance in this matter.
 Apricots, peaches, plums, pom egranates and figs are some of the fruits grown successfully on the Corwin ranch. Figs do par ticularly well, and MT. Corwin says they are better than the same varieties grown in other parts of the state,
 There are forty acres of aspar- agus on the ranch, and the things that asparagus does are almost beyond belief, Apparently the most serious objection to aspara- gus culture here is the back-ache

Orders to Go Ahead With Track Indicate Early Direct Connection With the East Greater Imperial County May Follow Negotiations With Mexico. Possible Waterway and Gulf Port.


 Angeles men having interests on the Mexican side of the line, in- cluding Harry Chandler and oth- CT stockholders of the c. M. com pany, were piloted by Superin- tendent Bowker on a trip to the front of construction work on the Inter-C California railroad, which is an extension of the Imperial Valley line, headed for Yuma by way of the c. D. Co.'S dam and the lower heading.
 From Mexicali the road runs through the c. M. ranch, and there are to be four stations on the ranch lands, part of which may soon be cut up and colonized and so converted from a cattle range into small, highly produc- tive farms. During the overflow of the Colorado great area of this land was under water. Pre- vious to the overflow it was a bare plain, a wide stretch of dus- ty desert. The water brought seed and now thousands of acres are covered with a heavy growth of willow, and there are large patches of jules, weeds and grasses. The soil is light, con- taining very little clay and very fertile. Within a year probably the willows will die for want of moisture, when the growth may be burned off and the land will be ready for the blow. Tules and other lighter growth are be- ing burned now and some of the land will be plowed and seeded this season.
 Lycurgus Lindsay and associ- ates have bought a tract of 10, 900 acres adjoining the. c. M. lands on the west through which the new main canal for the West Side runs, and intends to SOW barley and oats on several hun dred acres this winter.
 BORDER ZONE SETTLEMENT
 Some of the best land in the valley lies on the Mexican side, but as it may not be sold with out the Mexican governments S approval, and the policy of Mex ico is to prevent the occupation of land near the border by Amer ican settlers, it is held chiefly by corporations and used for grazing. and has not acquired the market value of land on the American side.
 Unless Lower California be- comes American territory by treaty and purchase, colonization must be conducted by companies having Mexican charters and the settlers must be either stockhold- CTS of the corporations or lease hold tenants. Mexico will not consent to individual ownership of border lands by Americans, because of the possibility of in- ternational troubles arising from the presence within her lines of a large number of settlers who might not be disposed to adapt

Imperial Valley press., 1907-12-21

the valley could be shipped to the east by way of the Panama canal.
 A LOOK AHEAD
 By the time of the opening of the Panama canal, Imperial Val ley will be producing the earliest and best citrus fruit in the world, more and better cotton to the acre than Texas, figs, dates, hay, grain and innumerable other crops in great quantities, and the South and the East will be ready to take the bulk of the valleys products. Refrigerating cargo ships are as practicable as re- frigerating cars, and no tranship- ment being necessary, perishable freight may be sent east by wat CT as safely and more cheaply than by rail. Where rail and barge canal meet, a busy inland port will be brought into exist ence, and at the head of the gulf there will be a port for deep water vessels. Branch railroads and electric railways will gridiron the valley and serve as feeders to the main east and west roads and to the canal, and Imperial county will be in fact as well as in name an agricultural and in- dustrial empire, having a deep water port of her own and inde- pendent of all other Pacific coast shipping points.
 That is a look ahead but con- sidering the rapidity of the march of progress in the Southwest, it may not be a very long look ahead.
 ON THE MAIN LINE
 In the mean time, the valley will have direct rail connection with eastern markets, for it will soon be on the line of through traffic between El Paso and the Southern California ports. The track of the Inter- California was laid last Saturday to a point 38 kilometers, or 23 1-2 miles, from Calexico toward Yuma and the grade was ready about ten miles in advance of the rails. The work completed fulfilled the con- ditions of the Mexican concession, and the superintendent of con- struction was ready to quit or go ahead.
 ORDERS TO GO AHEAD s
 On Monday morning the su- perintendent received telegraphic orders to go ahead with track laying to the 52-kilometer point, an advance of more than eight and a half miles, which will leave a gap of less than ten miles be- tween the front and the end of the track on the levee. A part of the gap is already graded, but the line probably will strike the levee at the end of the Clarke dam instead of connecting with the end of the levee track, mak- ing a few more miles of grade and rail necessary. If further go-ahead orders are given, the line can be completed this winter.
 One hundred men and 300 mules are at work on the grading, 40 men are in the track gang and 50 men are on treStle and
