ters of interest to the association fol-
lowed.
George H. Stewart president of the Pa
ciflc Creamery company. declared num-
ber of firms are anxious to get Under the
wing Of the Credit Mems association.
1--WE have entire confidence in each 9TH
err" said Mr.. Stewart. 1.-THE financial
trouble seemed to be a lack Of confidence
perfneating the individual, and that lack
of confidence has led the Individual to
keep in his own possession the money he
has been accustomed to give to the
banks"
The reason, he said, was that the money
changers have run things into a ''den of
thieves"
''The majority of financial concerns
he continued, ''are run on business prin-
ciples, but the individual Is unable to diff
ferentiate. AS soon as we can make the
ordinary citizen see the difference 1t will
be an easy matter, and conditions will
again become normal. What we must dc
is to get rid of the den of thieves and i'm.
press upon the individual that the major

Frank Simpson of the Simpson Fruit
company declared he believes that larger
expenditures should be made by the board

to examine debtors books, and save as
sets, instead of waiting until it is too late.
He also condemned loose methods OF
bookkeeping.

UP coin, saying that heads meant
that Kittridge should win and tails
that Senator Gamble should name the

disposing of the problem.
The president suggested that all
vacancies be filled similarly. Accord
ingly the names of the various officers

OPPOSITION TO PROJECT
4 TO EXTEND WATER DISTRICT
speciti to Tho Heiald.


PASADENA. Nov 25.-Stockholders
in the North Pasadena Land and Water
company will tomorrow vote on a
proposition to extend their district to
a 3OO-acre tract west of Lincoln avenue
in order to take in the residents of that
section as stockholders and to furnish
them with water.
Opposition to the project is manifest
and a spirited campaign has been
waged the past three weeks. Some of
the largest stockholders in the COM
pany are included in the opposition, of
whom are Thomas Stone. A. B. Gould
and b. S. Morris. They say the scheme
originated with holders of real estate
in what is known as the dry tract" in
order to boom prices.
Those fostering the scheme say the
opposition is composed of ranch own
Sers who fear the loss of some of their
water If the district is extended.

COMMUNICATED

uIldJ ATlIOud, Odll' El, Ot Ed. Imperial Press:
 Dear Sir:
 Permit me to advise you and your many readers that the attack made up- on Mir. Gleason, president of Water company No. of Imperial valley as well as the attempted criticism of the validi- ty of the petition referred to by the Morning Sur of Yuma, of Jan. 17, 1907, is uncalled for. If he will examine the files of his paper he will find that mem tiQn was made of its circulation at that tAre.. And itsreporter read the petition.
 The Sun reminds us in this matter of all incident of an old preacher once who told some boys of the Bible lesson he was going to read in the morning. boys found the place and glued together the connecting pages. The next morning he read to the bottom of the page: When Noah was 120 years old he took unto himself wife who was (then turning the pages) 40 cubits long, forty cubits wide, built of gopher wood, and covered with pitch inside and out. He was naturally puzzled at this; he read it again, verified it and then said My friendsI this is the first time 1 ever met this in the Bible, but accept it as proof of the assertion that we are fear f4llly-and wonderfully made.
 Now the Sun would like for the people of Imperial valley to be as credulous as was this Rev. gentleman. But Mir. Gleason has detected the joke, separated the pages and related the connecting historic facts in his message.
 We welcome Imperial valley to join the Yuma project and are glad to know you are becoming acquainted with the dis position and characteristics of this step- mother of ours and to which the Sun is so devotedly attached.
 Your spirit of investigation and fair play makes you the big brother we need at this time. Your broad fields, beauti- full towns and numerous and intelligent population will supply the missing link. With outstretched hands we welcome you, hoping for our mutual good and development and trusting that your land of promise, now flowing with milk and honey will not by this act cause you later to find yourselves he Hagar and Ishmael of be twentieth century left upon ths>desert among the ruins of your formef prosperity to supply yourselves 'With water with your then impaired re- sources. Let us inform you that Mir. Gleason can get the evidence to prove every>mord drawn flom the petition re- feSfed to in his message relative to the historic facts and conditions under the Yuma project. The same should be among the files and communications of the reclamation department. Now ifin- sisting upon the fulfillment of pledges and agreements can be interpreted as meapest motives-pure revenge.
 We plead guilty,
 Signed. w. F.. DuBerry, Pres't Consolidated Water Users Association.

 Imperial, Cal.
 Dear Sir:
 notice in the daily Standard your action is criticised by that paper in unit ing the land interests with a pledge not -te-sign up until your demands are se- cured. Now this is very necessary step and this pledge should be under a bond of $l000, so if they did break their pledges.i it would cost them something.
 Y0Srcan get terms before you sign yS6r lands if you demand them, but af- ter you have signed it is all off with you. If you people submit to the reclamation department demands without first get ting what you want and be sure it is en- dorsed high enough up the line, too. Make it binding. If you should fail to amply protect yourself after knowing the history of their operations in Yuma as well as you do there will be little sympathy due you. Now is the time for you to do your work before the land is signed. J. E. Ludy.

REDUCING FORCES.


 The reduction of the working force of the Fl Paso and Southwestern back shops and car department at Fl Paso continues and during the past week I25 have been let out of the company service. This number includes ma chinists. boilermakers, apprentices. helpers, car repairers and other class es of labor employed in the South western reservation in East Fl Paso.
 The reason for the reduction of the force is that, the business, which has been abnormal for the past six months, is now settling down to a normal railroad condition and the ex- tra force of men required to handle the equipment during the rush. is no longer needed.
 A large number of men are taking employment in other branches of the service and many are going to Mexi- co, says the Herald
 The G. H., while not making such sweeping reduction, has let out a number Of men during the past two weeks. A number of machinists em- ployed in the back shops voluntarily quit when the working hours were re duced from ten to nine. Six car men were let out Thursday by the com pany and 1t is expected that more re movals will follow as the number oi bad order cars does not justify the maintenance of a large working force in the repair department.
