cANTALoUPE SITUATION.
Reasons for Slump Given by an Ell
 Centro Shipper.

Concerning the present situation in the cantaloupe industry of the valley, an officer of the old Fl Centro associ- ation says the true reason therefor dates back to January, February and March, during which months certain distributors representatives were daily riding the country roads and in ducing all whom they could approach to plant a crop of cantaloupes; the larger the patch" the more thousands the lucky CD one would make.
 These distributors well knew that 75 cars daily on the eastern market was the limit at any time, yet on the acreage they drove many days to se- cure, had it all come into bearing, they would have sent out 125 cars daily.
 The one association that remained sane and safe" not only had it's acre age limited to ten acres to a member, but it also cut down that limit to a point at which it was a cer- tainty that it could take care of it. It., today, receives all offerings of it's members and meets all obligations at any moment.

Preliminary surveys for an all American line for the San Diego & Arizona railway have now been com pleted from Jacumba Valley westward to Dulzura hill, and need only few short alternatives to be run by survey parties Nos. 1 and 2, now negaged in that work, to complete the route.
 The survey on the eastern side of the summit of the range has been fin ished down to the edge of the desert, to a point where surveys can now be run in any direction desired.
 Survey party No. 3 is working down Dulzura canyon towards the upper Otay dam. It IS expected the

Although it is not certain that an election of Superior Judge will be held in Imperial county this year, candi dates for the office are busy doing politics one another-with dili- gence and enthusiasm. There are two provisions of law relating to the mat ter. and they are inconsistent. Law .yers are not agreed as to which gov erns. and the attorney general has been asked for an opinion. If he de- cides that Judge Coles term has not expired, the Governor will not issue an election proclamation, and all the scheming now going on will amount to nothing more than the scufIling of ghosts in a fog.
 Should an election be called, Judge Cole would be a candidate, and no reason why he should not be reelected to serve a full term has been ad- vanced-except that somebody else wants the job. The people who elect ed Judge Cole supposed they were voting to give him the regular full term on the bench, and as he has per formed his judicial duties fairly, i'm partially and with good judgment, they see no reason for changing the original plan.
 Manager Cory, of the c. D. Co.,, is hostile to Judge Cole for business req sons, and he is very anxious to see in his place MT. Roy McPherrin, of I'm perial, who has been connected closely with the c. D. Go. MT. McPherrin is MT. Cory's close personal friend and his candidate for Judge of the Su- perior Court. Presumably all the in fuence of the c. D. Go. will be eXerted in favor of MT. McPherrin, but it is understood clearly that the Southern Pacifics political department is to keep it's hands off Imperial county af fairs, and therefore the political ac- tivity of c. D. officials is to be re- garded as personal and as not commit ting the railroad crowd.
 Within the past week District At torney Eshleman declared himself candidate for the Republican nomina- tion for Superior Judge. MT. Eshleman has been persuaded that he is the only man who can beat McPherrin, and he thinks he has been brought to that belief by his friends.

 Estimates on the different lines are being rapidly prepared by the engi- neering department of the road, so that the cost of an allAmerican line can be determined almost as soon as the surveys are completed. This route will be compared with the lines surveyed through Lower California, the various estimates submitted to the board of directors, and one of the two routes definitely decided upon.
 Until this is done, no decision will be made as to which route will be se- lected.-San Diego Union.

| was a vertical precipice about nun
dred feet deep close to the road. There
| is a barricade there now but it is awe
some to look from the saddle almost
straight down to the rocky bottom of
the gulch.
! On the four-foot trail little falling
off places like that, however, become
carelessly regarded even at places
where there is no barricade, although
if the horse SHES or balks but a mat
ter of six inches it is all day with
horse and rider, unless the rider is
spry enough to throw himself out of
the saddle on the inner side of the
trail before his mount disappears. 1t
is where the vertical downlook is sew
eral hundred feet that the unaccus-
toned rider of the trail requires to
keep cool and not unduly worry his
faithful beast with spur or rein.
Along the worst places travelled to-
day, however, there are stone parapets
on the verge of the trail. These and
the growing confidence one gets in an
animal that has been broken to the
trail soon leave nothing to the magma
ton but tremendous enjoyment of
the sublime scenery. At scores of
points a feeling of regret is felt that
one cannot halt and revel by the hour
in the majesty of nature on every hand.
Your eye becomes accustomed to drink
in every different scene systema tically
so that nothing be lost of it until the
next one comes into view. First you
find yourself trying to probe the abyss
directly below. Then you survey the
rushing torrent, or, the rocky bed
of torrents not now in season, mean
dering through dank vegetation in the
middle of the gulch. Next your vision
sweeps the vast mountain wall four or
five hundred yards out from you
through blue air, trying to take it in
from bottom to top of. it's height of a
thousand feet or more. Near the OPP
posing summit line to where you are
riding you see the scratch on the cliff
side along which you have just ridden
and wonder if you would have ven
tured upon it had you seen it broad
side first. But just then you see loom
ing up ahead and overhead another
loop of the same scratch and do not
wonder if you will try it, for you have
come to rather like it and all the more
for the spice of danger now that the
entire actually is fully realized. Yet
now and then, negotiating turn, with
the safety barrier gone in a washout,
and nothing substantial to be seen
through the blades of grass screening
the top of a perpendicular gouge with
in two inches of where the nag has
just placed his off fore foot, you find
yourself saying to your best friend on
earth for the moment: BE good now,
pony, if you have any respect for me-"
At many points the turn of a gulch
head brings into view miles of the
magnificent gorge, its sides clothed in
all the shades Of green with occasional
splashes of variegated foliage. There
is nothing bleak or bare in the pros
pect, save for an occasional red streak
from a landslide or a patch Of rock
cliff which adds picturesuueness to
grandeur. From some heights passed
the ocean is visible, making additional
