Imperial

The meeting at Imperial vas con- vened In the forenoon, but adjourned until after dinner, as there were a npthber of No. stockholders from fCalexico who wanted to be heard and would not be there till afternoon. L. F Farnsworth was chairman of the meeting and Roy Pier acted as secre- tary. The following resolution was adopted and ordered sent to Congress- man Smith:
 Whereas, our representative in con- gress, Honorable s. c. Smith, has, through the Imperial chamber of com merce requested an expression of the views of the settlers of Imperial valley regarding the legislation now pending before congress relating to the appropri- tion of money for the repair of the break in the Colorado river at the intake of our irrigation system and the terms and conditions upon which such appropria- tion shall be made, now, therefore,
 Be it resolved by the stockholders of the various mutual water companies of Imperial valley, in mass meeting assem- bled, that we adopt, as expressive of the sentiments and wishes of the people who have made desert land and homestead entries under the law, and who have, through the purchase of water stock, paid foF the construction of an irrigation system and who have applied the water thereby obtained to the reclamation and irrigation of 200, ,0O0 acres of desert land.
 First. That with the permanent clos ure of the present break in the Colorado river and such strengthening of the levee below that break as to permanent ly confine the Colorado river to it's orig inal and proper channel, our system of canals and permanent water supply can be made thoroughly adequate and en- tirely satisfactory at comparatively small expense, and that with those re- pairs and extensions, we need no other system of irrigation.
 Second. That the citizens of Imperial valley who have entered reclaimed, put into cultivation and established homes upon 100000 acres of desolate, arid and uninhabited desert land, and who have, through the purchase of water stock for the reclamation of that land, already pald the sum of $3,000,OOO for the con- struction of water system, thoroughly adequate in it's scope to furnish water for the irrigation of all of the irrigable lands tributary to that system, ought not, in common justice, to be compelled to pay for the construction of a new svs- tenn.
 Third. We do not oppose the entry of the reclamation service into this val ley and we will heartily co operate with that department O! the government in it's efforts to furnish water for the irri- gation of the unreclaimed lands of the Colorado desert, upon such terms as will work no injustice to any citizen who has already acquired rights under the law !:
Imperial Valley press and the Imperial press., 1907-02-02

but we hold that any act passed by con gress in furthersnce of the plan to fur nish water to this valley by the recls- nation service should specifically define those rights and not leave the reclsma- tion service with "free hand," as de- manded by that department.

pital for the purpose of listening 70
arguments by former Commissioner
Yerkes. who is attorney for a distiller

This lis believed to be the first time

without having license as a rectifier or
the authority to do so, placed certain
coloring matter into the whisky, which
was subsequently seized by revenue

FINDS EVOLUTION

Anything more preposterous than the
theory of evolution disseminated in the

DR.. E Ray Lancaster in his latest OK
ford lecture, can scarcely be imagined
The rising poetaster, talking with the
glibness of ignorance, about Darwinism
and the struggle for existence need in
spire only amusement because his
verses are usually fantastic enough to
harmonize with his equally fantastic
biology.
But what are we to say Of the world
renowned novelist who converts his fic-
tons into Observation-Disclosures for the dis
seminauon of error on the subject OF
evolution? II must be remembered that
mulutudeS of the very well educated
imbibe their notions Of evolution from

novelty of thought. The larger pro-
portion Of educated people even at the
present day have not got beyond Per-
dita's view of nature
They accept conhdingly the interpreta-
tons Of evolution, upon which literary
men Of the first rank today base their
optimism or their pessimism, as the case
may be. This makes the work OF the
scientific teacher peculiarly difficult He
must devote his energies largely to cor
recting the misrepresentation of evo-
lutionary thought, with which the best
current literature is filed If popular
poets and popular nOvelists would try
TO ascertain what DarWinism is and

whom lived in New Hampshire. were as
follows: John, David, Timothy, An

Mother Was Betsy Sawyer.
The mother of Andrew Chauncy Nun
sey was Betsy Sawyer. a descendant in
the sixth generation from Thomas T.
pioneer. one of the first six settlers of
2 Lancaster. Mass, the oldest town in
Worcester county.
Mr.. Munsey's first wife and mother Of
his children was Mary Jane Merritt
Hopkins She was a descendant not
only of Stephen and Giles Hopkins, of
the Mayfiower passengers. but also Of
Elder Brewster. John Alden. Priscilla
Mullins, and several others of that IA
nous company.
Andrew Chauncyl Munsey was born
near Haverhill, n. H. June Is. 1871 In

1877 married his first wife. Miss Hop

During his service a smallpox cpl
demic broke out. and he took charge of
the patients. He had never had the dis
ease, yet he escaped the infection. He
saw fighting right through from the
Wilderness to Petersburg, but came out
in safety.
He had long and honorable life. and
his last days were gladdened often by
the visits OF his surviving son, who,
amid the pressure of a thousand cares.
never forgot his venerable father. and
stood by the latter's bedside as the
spirit took its flight.

shooting at nesperus.

Sunday morning near the town of
HespeFus, at the Hesperus coal mine,
Joseph Vanderweide shot and almost
instantly killed Joseph a. Walker.
There was hut one witness to the shoot
ing, William Mason, mine superintend-
ent of the Hesperus mine.
According to the story Of Mr.. Mason,
himself and yandsweide had been out
that morning horseback riding over
the lands of the Porter Fuel company,
owners and operators of the Hesperus
mine, for something like two hours
previous. Vanderweide had q shot
gun with him, but Mason WAS un-
armed, 1t is said that Vanderweide
took his shot gun along to see II he
could get rabbit, but it seems that the
shot which he fired at Walker and
which killed him was buckshot load,
and just why he should have had the
while out hunting rabbits has not been
explained.
Mason says that as he and Van
derweide were returning to their
homes in the town Of Hesperus and
were OH steep trail at point about
one mile from the opening Of the mine,
with Mason in the lead walking aud
leading his horse, and was approaching
an old air shaft connected with the
mine workings below, he was suddenly
accosted by man standing in the
bushes nearby who commanded him to
halt. Mason says he replied in these
words:
"What de you want and who are
you?" and continued walking down
the trail, when this man called again
to him to stop. He did not stop but
continued advancing, and almost inn
mediately the man fired two shots at
them, neither Of which took effect on
Vanderweide or himself. Vauderweide
being only few yards behind and
having the shot gun in his hands, took
aim and fired at Walker, thinking that
both of them were in danger Of their
lives.
