Holyoke has no boom and wants no
boom but she is enjoying a decidedly
rapid and healthy growth. There has
been more building done in Holyoke
during the past year than there was
during the 10 years prior to 1906. The
building move has only fairly commen-
ced. The prospects are the building
record Of 1907 will far surpass that of
the last year. Property has made a
rapid advance in price and those who
invested a few years ago could now dis
pose of their property and make large
profit. We call this healthy growth
and not boom from the fact that II
has been brought about as the direct
result Of the settlement and improve
ment Of the country. The town is not
ahead Of the country in growth and, as
there is every reason to believe that
1907 will be record breaker in the set
tlement OF the country tributary to
Holyoke. there is also good reason to
believe that our town will make good
growth during the year.

The Newport News attempts to grow satirical over the local mar ket report published in The Jour- nal, and says the farmers around Newport wouldn't milk the COW, if the milk churned itself, nor gather up the eggs. if they mar keted themselves, at the prices quoted in The Journal.
 Verify, the most inveterate liar will stagger upon the truth oc- cassionalIy, and, in this instance, the News has unconsciously told the truth-a majority of the farm, CTS around Newport are a shiftless set and are too trifing to gather up eggs, even if they were worth 25 cent a dozen. The editor of this paper happens to know some. thing about some of the farmers around Newport, having lived among them himself, and, foolish as 1t may seem, we have actually seen some of them go to town just before Christmas, when eggs were selling at 40 to 50 cents dozen, and buy eggs to make Christmas egg nog. They passed as good farmers too, in their neighborhood they raised from 10 to 100 acres of cotton every year, and invari- ably came out in debt-that's the preeminent mark of a good farmer in the News mans estimation.
 In that country the farmer who would gather up eggs, chickens and butter and take them to mar ket, loses his standing and reputa-

Bar Assoeiatioa

Nearly all the lawyers in the county were present last Mon- day at a meeting held in Fl Gen. tro to take preliminary steps to- ward the formation of an Imperial Valley bar association. Judge F. J. Cole was the tenn porary chairman. The special Legislation relating to legal holi- days, recently enacted by the California Legislature, was dis cussed informally and it appear ed that the general opinion of the bar was adverse to the con- stitutionality of the acts. It was deemed expedient to await a decision of the Supreme Court, which is expected shortly, and therefore no session of the Sup erior Court was held this week, all cases being continued to next next Monday. Messers Shaw, MaPherrin and Eshelman were named as a committee on per manent organization and bylaws of the bar Association, and will report to the adjourned meeting on Monday.

When Road is Repaired
 Frank Peltret of San Diego, was in the Valley towns this week Investigating the feasibil- ity of a plan to establish direct communication with San Diego by way of Carrizo Pass. A line of automobile stages seems to be the desired means, and Buck, Meadows and Mayhew, the Hot Air Navigation Co.,, say they are ready to put three large machines into the service as soon as the road shall be made fit for auto travel.
 It is estimated that an expen- diture of $5, 900 on that part of the road in San Diego County would put the road in shape, and MT. Peltret returned to offer a definite business proposition to the Supervisors of San Diego and get action on a scheme that has been talked about in a gen. eral way heretofore.

 psnies to Advance Money to the CD. Co. and Assure Water to No. 8

water to districts 6 and 6, which were cut off from the irrigation system by the deepening of New River when the Colorado flowed into Salton Sea, were notified by the California Development com pany last week that the company could not supply them with mon- ey to continue the work unless a sufficient sum could be obtained in advance water revenues. ..'1
 Under the contracts, the main canal was to have been completed by January 10 next, penalties for delay and bonuses for quicker work were provided for and such progress had been made that there was reason to believe that the contractors would finish their work and earn premiums. Gen. eral Manager Cory had been al- lotted $5O,0OO a month by the Southern Pacific to do the work and had entered into contracts on that basis, but the financial furry upset all calculations and MT. Hartman notified the c. D. Go. that no more money could be SUD- piled.
 Abandonment of work on the canals at this time would be a serious blow to the settlers west of New River and an injury to the valley as a whole, as itwould leave about 30, ,00O acres, half of it already improved and once un- der cultivation, without water for another season.
 President Epes Randolph and Treasurer w. J. Doran, of the c. D. Co.,, came to the valley last Saturday and suggested a plan for raising money to go on with the work which requires the hearty and prompt cooperation of the more fortunate settlers who have water in abundance. They proposed that the money for water rentals due on January from the water companies to the c. D. Go. be paid in advance and offered to allow discount of ten per cent. for immediate payment. The total amount due Jan. 1 is between $6O, ,OOO and $75,00O and with half of that sum immediate ly in hand, the contractors can keep on with the work and finish the canals on time.
 Assessments are due from wat CT users to the mutual companies and delinquent on Dec. 12, and it is of the utmost importance to the valley that payment be made immediately. No. 5 always pays in advance, and it remained for the other companies to give as- surance that their assessments would be paid at once. The offic- CTS of numbers 4 and 1 were first seen and agreed that immediate action should be taken and speci- al meetings of directors were called promptly to consider the matter.
 MONEY FORWARDED
 The president and directors of No. 1 met at Imperial on We'd nesday to consider the problem of rescuing the settlers across the river from the danger of an other waterless season, and al- though the company owes money

MANY BILLS INTRODUCED
REPORTS AND PETITIONS RE-
CEIvED BY THE SENATE.

Immediately after the prayer of the
chaplain the Senate today began routine
business by receiving a large number of
reports from the executive departments.
This order of business was followed by
the presentation of many petitions and
the Introduction Of innumerable bills
bearing upon all conceivable subjects.
Senator Frye was the first to secure the
recognition Of the Vice President for the
introduction of bills. and he was followed
in rapid succession by most of the other
members of the Senate,
Senator Jefferson Davis of Arkansas
who recently was quoted as saying that
he would make a speech the first day
after his admission to the Senate, failed
to keep his word exactly. but he gave
notice today that he would speak on the
nth instant on bill which he presented
for the adjustment of trusts. pools, etc
After the reading of the titles to the
bills had progressed for some time Sem
ator Tillman made an effort to relieve the
Senate of the tedious routine by suggest
ing the application of the Senate rule per-
hitting senators to withhold their petit
hour, and then hand them to the clerk
without Formally. He said such a pro-
cedure would answer all the purposes of
senators. This suggestion. however. did
not appear to be taken with favor, and
the dull routine continued. A vast major
ity of the bills were private pension meas
ures, and many of them were bills which
had failed of success in former Con-
crosses.
