Imperial Valley press., 1907-07-30

A conference was held last Sunday at the home of H. N. Dykes in Imperial. There were R. D. McPherrin, manager of the C. D. Co.,, and member of the firm of Fart & Mcpherrin, F. C. Farr, candidate for super for judge, H. N. Dyke also cam didate for the same office, w. B. Salisbury and others, including Messrs Weber and Preble. K. D. McPheirin was not seen on the streets of Imperial. Sunday, for he quietly stayed at Dykes house until nearly train time, Sunday night, so he would not be observed coming from that place. This conference was very secret and some weighty ques- tions were decided. Would Farr and McPherrin please state what was the object of this secret con fab? Does it look as though the interests of the people were being looked after when such men as Farr, McPherrln, Dyke, and Salisbury get their heads to- gether? Don't it rather suggest that the interest of the C. D. Co. was receiving their considera- tion?

Imperial made a big blow about closing up ifs blind pigs. That was just~to advertise. I'm mediately after the blow was over, the city let the pigs go into business again.

 It's fact that if you vote for Imperial you vote for a regular nest of corporations. The s. F. has larger interests in Imperial than any other town in the val- ley. Paulin's corporation owns all the franchises of Imperial and will not sell nor use them. Do you want your county seat town tied up tight as a whistle by such a man as Paulin?
 How does a sane, reasoning person account for the tact that Howe says F. J. Cole is C. D. man, while all the time Roy Me Pherrin, assistant general man.. ager of the C. D. Go. is working for Brewer? It looks as though' Howe would tell any old false hood to gain a vote for Imperial and Brewer. Cole IS positively not a C. D. man and the C. D. Go. positively does not want him judge. But Brewer seems to be acceptable to the C. D. Company and not so acceptable to others.

John T. Tagan. a driver of the Bos.
ton fire department, who, to avoid a
collision of his truck with a crowded
trolley car, realizing that many of the
passengers might be killed, deliberate
iy turned his horses toward the side
walk and was killed himself as re-
suit. was a truer hero than most of
those who died in war, because with.
out hope Of reward or glory he gave
his life that others might live. Tagan
was credited with being one of the
most skillful drivers in the depart.
ment, and his death under these cir.
cumstances is another illustration that
the danger to the firemen is not al.
ways the fires, but the going to them,
hence the wickedness of the false

Union Pacific Makes Report.

The Union Pacific annual report,
filed with the railway commission,
proves on examination to be brief
in behalf Of the 2-cent fare law
During the last year the average
fare collected by the Union Pacific has
been 1876 cents a mile. Rate Expert
Powell has been scrutinizing the re-
port to find any traces of manipulat.
ing the figures in the interest of a
contest against the 2-cent fare. How
ever, It seems that the railway has
furnished evidence to bolster up the
states contentious.
The report showed that each pas.
senger paid an average Of 1854, while
during the former year the average
was $276. The number Of passen-
gers decreased from 4,S03,094 for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1906, to
3078,538 for the year ending June 80,
1907. The passenger receipts Of the
company for March, April, May and
June OF the present year were about
$4,000 per month greater than those

port Of 1906, indicating that the 2-cent
fare bill has increased the receipts, If
anything.
For the motnh of July, 1906, the
freight receipts Of the company for
Nebraska were reported to be $1,011,
700.05. The monthly reports from sta
lions in Nebraska, as received by the
commission, show that $3.50, 1865 was
received for freight forwarded and
freight received at Nebraska stations
The difference between these figures
indicates the amount of freight cred
tied to Nebraska which is through
freight neither originating or termi-
mating In Nebraska. In the same man.
ner can the passenger receipts be ex-
planned. The report shows that dur
ing the month of June of the present
year the passenger receipts were
1884, 111.59. The monthly reports for
July, the succeeding month, indicate
passenger receipts aggregating SILL
07S.92. This did not include any tick
cts save those sold in the state.

Gently held meeting at South Omaha
for the purpose of discussing quaran-

state has no appropriation to pay for

This meeting is for the purpose Of
getting the individual stock grower in
terested to the extent that he will
clean up his own cattle. 1t is said
Nebraska is behind Colorado, Wyom-
ing and South Dakota in the matter of
clean cattle, and for that reason at the
coming meeting 1t will be urged that
growers dip their own cattle, making
the preparations during the coming
spring months. The health officers
from these states who have superin-

spective states will be at the meeting
and tell what was done by them.
