Canal Contractors Reduce Wages and
 Try to Withhold Money.
 Last Wednesday the contract ors, who are building canals for the c. D. Go. west of New River and getting paid with money ad- vanced freely by the people of Imperial Valley through the mu- tual water companies, announced a reduction of wages to $1.50 a day and between 200 and 300 men promptly quit the job and demanded the wages due them. The contractors gave to them checks payable on January 20, and arbitrarily and illegally stamped them mot negotiable. "
 The men went to Calexico and were unable to cash their checks or to get money with which to buy food. They announced that they were going to eat, money or no money, and as they were nearly 300 strong it looked as if they would make good at the ex- pense of the residents of Calexico.
 District, Attorney Eshelman was notified of the state of af- fairs and went to Calexico to in- vestigate. He found that the men had good cause to feel ag- grieved and he convinced the contractors that their action was illegal as we'll as unjust. An ar rangement by which the men ob- tained money for immediate needs was effected and the checks were made payable immediately on presentation in Los Angeles.
 The action of the contractors in reducing wages and bringing about suspension of work imme- after money had been ad- vanced to enable them to earn a bonus needs to be explained.

hibition here, the pickers will have to use ladders.
 This wonderful sample, said to be only sample of what the Im- perial country can produce, is a good deal like a Christmas tree covered with snow, so heavily it is laden with fluffy white cotton. It came with a big collection of other wonders from the El Gen. tro Chamber of Commerce.
 If that is a sample of the cot- ton production we can expect in Southern California" said the manufacturer, I've shall not have to bring any raw product from the Southern States. The quail ty is superb; all we shall need is quantity"
 Of the other products sent from El Centro to the Chamber of Commerce, the Times says,
 One vine was brought in that bore eighty pounds of sweet po- tatoes. One of these spuds alone weighs twenty-five pounds, while others run down the scale to ten and five pounds, some of the smallest weighing one pound.
 In the collection are fine speci- mems of table grapes the second and third crop for one year. There are watermelons, canta- loupes, pears, pomegranates, egg plant, sugar cane, string beans and oranges. Alfalfa seven feet tall, Kaffir corn that would make the original Kafir flush with en- wy. And so on and on.
 But the cotton plant and it's possibilities are the main feat ures of the show.

Ahkoond of Swat Reduces Imperial
 County to the Forty-third Class
 Another formidable looking document has been handed to the officials of Imperial County. Resident, Citizen, Voter, Tax payer, Water Superintendent and Grand Panjandrum, l.. F. Farnsworth serves formal, vol luminous, vociferous and polysyl- labic notice that he has reduced Imperial County from the Seth to the 43d class and the salaries of all county officers in propor- tion; that he declares the action of the Board of Supervisors, fix ing the class of the county, void and of no effect; that the Audi tor and Treasurer contumacious- ly threaten to continue their nefarious practice of issuing and cashing salary warrants as if they were officers of a thirty sixth degree county; and that unless Imperial County desists immediately from pretending to be a county of the thirty-sixth class it will incur his extreme displeasure, law suits and other discomforts.

in Imperial Valley without their consent. The mutual companies have contracts with the c. D. Co. for water and the c. D. Co.'S suc- cessor, whether it be the govern ment or corporation, must abide
 by it's terms. No act of the gov- ernment impairing the obligation of a contract could stand.
 Until the purposes and plans of the Reclamation Service and the particulars of the deal between MT. Hartman and the govern ment are made known in full, judgment on the whole question must be suspended. There are reasons for believing that the deal is virtually consummated. The Times dispatch says: Tt is believed by those in a position to know that within a comparative ly short time the California De- velopment company and all the Hartman interests in the irriga- tioh system will be taken over by the United States government under some kind of an equitable arrangement which will give the railroad interests a fair return for their outlay and will place the Reclamation Service in a position where it can utilize and control the American share of the Colo rado River, subject to the terms of the ratified Mexican concession made to the California Develop ment company"
 The terms of the concession are that sufficient water for irriga- tion shall be supplied to lands on the Mexican side, not exceeding half of the quantity diverted from the Colorado. So long as the headworks and canal in Mex ican territory are used, the c. D. Go. or it's successor in interest must supply water to owners of Mexican land.
Imperial Valley press., 1907-12-14

Negotiations of vital interest to Imperial Valley are going on in
 Washington between the govern
 ment and the Southern Pacific and between the United States and Mexico. A treaty with Mex leo relating to control of the Col orado river and the use of it's waters has been drawn and will be submitted to the Senate, and MT. Hartman is trying to come to terms with the government for the sale of the California De- velopment company.
 The text of the proposed treaty has not been made public, but it is reported that it's provisions in- clude cancellation of the c. D. Co.'S concession for headworks and canals in Mexican territory; assumption by the United States of responsibility for damages caused by the break of the Colo rado; the United States to take charge of controlling works on the river and to have the right to construct and maintain canals in Mexican territory. Itis also re- ported consistently that negotia- tions for the purchase by the United States of a part or the whole of Lower California were conducted by Secretary Root, but alienation of territory being for bidden by the constitution of Mexico, it is doubtful that any such proposition has been made officially.
 However, the Mexican constitu- tion is not quite like the laws of the Medes and Persians; it has been nullified in one particular to the distinct benefit of the coun- try and that the same influence which set aside one provision may be powerful enough to vir- tually abrogate another is not inconceivable. If the ruling class in Mexico favors the sale of Low CT California to the United States, such a deal is not made impossi- ble by any constitutional bar. The report of negotiations to that end is not absolutely incredible.
 It may be assumed confidently that the rights and interests of settlers in Imperial Valley will not be affected injuriously by any treaty with Mexico. The United States will have due re- gard to the welfare of it's own citizens in any arrangement it may make with foreign power.
 Negotiations between the gov ernment and MT. Hartman are of more immediate importance. When President Roosevelt called on MT. Hartman to close the Colorado break and save Imperial Valley from permanent inunda- ton, he promised that he would ask Congress to pay the cost of work after the date of his request to the railroad. The President did not encourage the Southern Pacific to hope that he would ad- wise Congress to repay the large
Imperial Valley press., 1907-12-14

sums previously loaned by the
 railroad to the c. D. Go. or spent
 for it's own protection.
 The Southern Pacific's ad- -vances to the c. D. Co.,, for
 which it holds the property of
 the company as security, it's ex-
 penses in moving tracks out of
 the way of Salton Sea, and the
 cost of building dams and levees on the Colorado are said to ag- gregate 2,5OO, 900. Presumably MT. Hartman would like to get all that money back and unload the irrigation system, and he
 would be pleased if the govern ment would pay him the full amount and relieve him of all responsibility for the continued good behavior of the Colorado.
 Here the Reclamation Service comes into the story. According to a Washington dispatch to the Los Angeles Times, the govern ment, through the Reclamation Service, declines to pay Hartman $2, 800, 900, though it is known that negotiations are still on, and that Hartman is anxious to sell the property, and that the Recla- Service officials are also anxious to gain control of the Imperial Valley irrigation enter prise.
 The Reclamation Service has found the Yuma project too cost ly for the area of land reclaimable in Arizona under the Laguna dam, and it desires to attach Im- perial Valley to the project in or der to distribute the cost. Offici- als of the service contend that the Imperial Valley system should be supplied by main canal from Laguna dam instead of from headworks in Mexico. Whether or not their plan is feasible is a question for engineers.
 Whether or not Imperial Valley should pay any part of the cost of the Laguna dam and the ex- oense of a new main canal is a question to be considered care fully by the people of Imperial county. That there would be distinct advantage to the valley n substitution of government control for the present manage nent of the system is generally believed, but the settlers of Inn )erial county are not inclined to lssent to the Reclamation Service until they know ex- lctly what it means and what he cost will be. Moreover they will contend strenuously for rec ignition and strict regard for the tights they have acquired in land md water.
 Owners of stock in mutual wat r companies have rights which annot be taken from them by he Reclamation Service and it 5 doubtful that any share of the ost of the Yuma project could e charged against them or plac- d upon any land legally entered '

The remarkable success of the
 horse show held at Fl Centro last
 week by the Imperial Valley Stockbreeders' Association has given impetus to the movement for the organization of an Imper- ial County Agricultural Associa- tion to hold an annual county fair.
 Preliminary work is being done and as soon as a general plan of organization can be formulated, a meeting of all interested will be called to discuss the project.
 Messrs. Wilsie, Clark and Van Horn, the committee in charge of the first colt show held in the valley, showed what could be done with a very little money and great deal of energy intel ligently applied. At a cost of less than $100 in money, they brought out more than 125 head of fine horses for exhibition, de- monstrated that Imperial Valley is an ideal stock country, and held a successful Farmers Insti- tute. The results accomplished by them were worth to the coun- ty ten times the cost. To them and to the public spirited citizens who provided the funds out of their private purses, the people of the valley should and do feel grateful.
 When the agricultural associa- tion is organized, the colt show will expand into general county fair for the exhibition of all the products of the valley, continu- ing for two or three days and funds will be available for prizes and purses as inducements to farmers to enter theirfnest stock and make the best possible dis play of their products.
 The value of exhibitions of products was proved by the re- suits of E. B. Forrester's enter prise in gathering a few speci- mems, showing them in town and then shipping the whole exhibit to the Los Angeles chamber of commerce. An Alabama cotton manufacturer is promoting a | scheme to build a cotton mill in Los Angeles, and the Los An i geles Times says:
 Cotton growing in California is likely to furnish the raw product for the mill. Successful expert ments in the Imperial Valley point this way. Only yesterday there was received at the Cham Der of Commerce a giant cotton | plant, nearly six feet tall, liter ally covered with snowy white polls. And they said this was only a volunteer" What the regulars" will do when they get busy. can only be imagined.
 1t was to see this plant that he Alabama man called with his at the chamber. He said t was beyond anything he had ever seen in the cotton fields of he South, where the plants are 70 small that the negro pickers nearly break their backs in gath 'ring the crop.
