OBJECT TO PRESIDENTS PLAN
People of Imperial Don't Want Govern
ment Irrigation

IMPERIAL, Cal, Jan. 12.-The mes
sage of President Roosevelt recon-
mending that the Government acquire
the rights of the California Develop
ment Company and take the Imperial
Valley into the reclamation service
meet the approval of but a small por-
tion of the people of the valley. Vari-
Gus commercial bodies in the valley
have repeatedly passed resolutions
against Government control 1t is said
that whatever mismanagement there
may have been in the early days of the
California Development Company, the
fact is that more than 100000 acres
are actually under cultivation, with an
ample water supply.
The people of the valley have never
been able to draw from the reclama-
ton service any definite statement of
the terms under which it wished to
take this valley into its system, and it
is believed that the department would
demand annulment of this valleys
priority OF water rights; that it would
require reduction Of land holdings and
that it would demand that this valley
help pay for the Laguna dam, for
which the people believe that they
have no need. A small minority here
favors Government control of this irri-
cation system but unless existing
rights can be protected there will be
strenuous opposition to the Presidents
programme and the project will be de-
feated under the reclamation service
rules requiring 80 per cent of the land
to bind contracts.

RECLNM|NG LARGE
INUNDATED AREA
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

MARTINEZ, Jan. 12.-The q latest
move in the project to reclaim thou
sands of acres of inundated land in this
county is the cultivation of almost 1900
acres belonging to Balfour, Guthrie &
Co., east of Knightsen. A sixty-horse-
power traction engine is now ready to
begin work, and as soon as the ground
is dry enough plowfng will be COM
menced. From fifteen to twenty acres
can be plowed in a day, and the soil,
which is best adapted to barley, yields
twenty or thirty sacks to the acre.
Jersey Island also is to be reclaimed,
and the tenants have been given notice
to vacate at once. The Jersey Company
will farm the tract and plant it 10
celery.

the southern Pacific as that company did not
own any of the stock of the California Develop

The Southern Pacific Company's representa-
tiyes have had control of the California Develop
ment Company only since June, 1905. The money
lent the company by the Southern Pacific has
been only for the purpose of stopping the break
made by the Colorado River. Had a true state

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 12.-W. J. Doran

Company, who is treasurer of the Cali

when shown the Associated Press dis
patch this afternoon that the accusa-
tions made by President Roosevelt are
true, except that they refer to the old
company and not the present one, and
that therefore the California Develop

II is true that a large amount Of the money
obtained from the original settlers In Imperial
Valley was used for purposes other than for
the betterment and completion of the system.

pany is also unable to meet the ext
gency.
SOUTHERN PACIFIC MUST ACT
1T has been stated that the Cali
fornia Development Company has not
the financial strength to repair the
break and to restore the bank of the
Colorado River to such permanent con-
dition that a similar occurrence cannot
happen. 1t is further understood that
the Southern Pacific Company, having
expended $4,000, 900 or more for the
protection of it's interests, declines to
furnish more money to the California
Development Company to save the I'M
perial Valley beyond controlling the
present break in the river bank.
AT the present moment there ap-
pears to be only one agency equal to
the task of controlling the river, name
ly, the Southern Pacific Company, with
ment and control of the California De-
velopment Company and subsidiary
companies. The need of railroad ia
cilities and equipment and the interna-
tional complications are such that the
officers of the United States, even with
unlimited funds, could not carry on the
work with the celebrity required. 1t is
only the fact that the officers of the
Southern Pacific, acting also as off,
GERS of the California Development
Company, have been able to apply all
their resources for transportation, mo-
tive power and the operation of the
road, that has made it possible to cope
with the situation to the extent that
has already been accomplished. The
Southern Pacific Company is now re-
ported to be working strenuously to
ill the break through which the Colo
rado River is flowing westward to the
Salton Sea. and is repairing levees to
keep out the high water due next
March.
REPAIRS MUST BE PERMANENT
Further construction is necessary,
and all necessary temporary work must
be replaced by permanent structures. 1t
is estimated that for this additional
work 50, 600, 900 should be available. The
question as to what sum, IL any, should
be paid to the Southern Pacific for work
done since November 4, 1906, is one for
future consideration; for work done
prior to that date no claim can be ad-
mitted.
But one practicable course is now
open for consideration. The Southern
Pacific Company must continue It's
work to close the break and restore
the river to its proper channel The
United States can then take charge,
making the protective work perma-
nent and providing for their mainte
nance"

Miranda's marriage with Christine

merely married him on account Of his
daughter. The singer became devoted,
