have brought forth investiga- tions, and in a great many inc stances the fraud has been un- covered and the guilty parties found and punished. That the Imperial Valley, where land was obtainable under the desert land law, which filing could be as- signed at any time before the final proof was made, should find itself under suspicion is not in itself an alarming matter. That land-getting, rich mad men should seek these conditions and find in this valley a fertile place for their operations is not in itself such a surprising thing.
 It is a fact undisputable that there are some very large tracts of land in this valley. It is also a tact that some of the older settlers believe in some instances there should be an investigation. Our valley is young, and should there have been in times past any land frauds, now is the time to clear them up. It will not re- tard our development-it will not hurt one of us but the guilty.
 It were easier at the present day to find evidence, if there be any, than it was year o1 two years ago. There have been times past in this valley when people have been practically afraid to speak out, but the in- fluences of those times have been just lately rebuked, and there is an easier freerer feeling
 Let the investigation proceed.

 A. Braunschweiger, of Los Angeles, has joined the draught ing force of the Development company. His conversion from wool to duck was quickly ac- complished.
 H. T. Cory, general manager of the California Development Company, returned Friday night from San Francisco where he went from Tuscon two weeks ago on business. He will re- main in Calexico several weeks.
 Mrs. A. Sochor, who has been quite ill for some time, was talk en to Los Angeles for treatment last Sunday. She was accom- panied by MT. Sochor and Dr. Peterson. Encouraging reports have been received since her ar rival in the city.
 Superintendent R. H. Ingram, of the S. F.. visited Calexico last week. MT. Ingram is keep ing in close touch with the con- struction of the Yuma link.

LAND FRAUDS

There seems to be a great deal of stir over alleged land frauds in the Imperial Valley. There is nothing surprising about this,
 for in all new countries, where government land has been taken up and settled on, there have been such allegations which

LET'S DOWN TO BUSINESS.

1t IS gratifying, indeed, to hear the expressions of satisfaction from farmers, tradesmen and mechanics alike over the outcome of the late election.
 Prominent farmers of the val ley have been seen in Fl Centro the last week, some of them who favored Imperial for county seat and are free to say so, but with out an exception they say the majority was against them, and now that they know how the majority feels, they are perfectly satisfied.
 Merchants from other towns have been interviewed, and they all express entire satisfaction, and want to once more get down to business. They insist that the campaign had tendency to dis turb business and a good, healthy trade is ot more conse- quence to them than where the county seat IS located. A large majority of the mechanics of the valley feel that the decision of the voters have materially bene- fitted them, for the largest DOT ton of the industrial movement of the valley has sprung from Fl Centro, and they can see in the future the development of many new industries demanding more men and better pay.
 Now is the time to lay aside animosity and bitter feeling. The advancement of the Imperial Valley should be the slogan of every citizen. The river is under control, the new county is ready to be formed, the county seat Is chosen, and the fall of the year approaches; it is the time when everybody is want to do his best, till his crop and tend to his busi- ness.
 The election took place in the dnllest part of our season. This was set for this time of the year so it would not interfer with the busy season and interrupt the valleys progress. And with such a bright future before us we certainly do not want the Colo rado to be cut again nor do we want disturbing politics to spoil or retard the growth and advance ment of our valley. Let's down to real business again and be prosperous.

Int NEW COUNTY or IMPERIAL

1alTly lauuCneu, anu Only mlnOI
 details of form remain to be car
 ried out to give it legal status as
 a full-fledged county of the state.
 The people of the valley are to
 be congratulated upon the attain
 ment of their great wish and
 upon the brilliant prospects of
 the new county.
 Now that county division has
 been achieved, it may be hoped
 that any bitterness that may
 lave been occasioned in the steps
 leading up to that result, will quickly pass away. T h e e
 should be no soreness over the outcome. It would be most ex-
 traordinary were any enterprise
 ing, ambitious people to set up
 for themselves without the same
 rivalry that has been displayed
 in the Imperial Valley during
 the contests for the offices and the county seat. Only utter apathy could have produced free dom from such friction as has been a feature of county division. And a community that displays in a matter of this sort, lacks the element of progress that brings development and suc- cess. But now that 1t is all over, and ths canvassed returns show the result, it is time to forget all unpleasantness. The future of the valley demands such forget fulness.
 There are charges and counter charges of sharp practice prior to and during the election, and there are threats to contest the result, especially as to the loca- tion of the county seat. San Diego people will trust that the sober second thought will prevail in the valley, and that the out come of the election as shown by the canvass of the returns, will be accepted as final. It will be better so. The watchword | now for the new county should | be progress and not strife. The m p r a l country has had a growth that is without precedent. In the entire region where over 1900 ballots were cast last Tues day, there was scarcely a hand ful of voters seven years ago not single voter, in fact in what is the Imperial Valley proper. And the development of resources that are one of the wonders of the age, has fully kept pace with the marvellous growth of popu- lation. These splendid results were attained by harmonious ac- ton for the upbuilding of the valley. It would be peculiarly unfortunate should the forward receive a setback now through a continuation of ami engendered during the recent contest.
 The people of the Imperial country in the past have shown themselves peculiarly alive to all that concerns the interests of their locality. It is h d y credible that any of them should seek to mar the prospects of their new country by perpetual ing contests that could become feuds. San Diego trusts that all will see the wisdom Of drnODi1D
