BOTH ROUTES MEET.
Mexican and AIl-American Surveys for San Diego Railroad Reach Same
 Point at Carriso Canon.

Imperial Valley residents general ly are interested in anything pertain ing to the proposed San Diego x Ariz- ona Railroad survey, and the following details from the San Diego Union give some information heretofore not gen erally known. The Union says:
 "The line of the All-American route goes through National City, Telegraph canyon. passes near the Otay dams near Dulzura and over the Dulzura summit through Cottonwood canyon over Potrero summit, through Campo, over the Hayden summit, through Ja- cumba. the Carriso canyon and thence across the desert to Yuma.
 "The Mexican route leaves the Am erican line at point near National City, goes south and passes the inter- national boundary linie into Mexico, and thence goes in an easterly direc- tion to Jacumba summit, which is about ten miles almost due south Of Havden summit From Jacumba the Mexican route turns northWard, re crosses the boundary line into the United States and joins the American route near the head of the Carriso canyon and thence runs eastward over the same route as the All-American line to Yuma.
 Although some few miles on the American route yet remain to be sur iveyed for preliminary lines, it Is be- lieved that the routes will be practl- cally the same length. MT. Kali right states that no matter what route is selected, it will probable be necessary to construct few tunnels but the number is not yet definately known, especially on the American route. Tn running the preliminary lines numerous alternatives are left to be decided later. In one place, as an illustration, it may be necessary to choose between making deep cut or changing the grade somewhat tC tunnel a hill. All these points are decided in the permanent survey, and until that is done on the American side the number of tunnels, etc, will not be definately known"

 American energy from all points of the compass is centered in El Centro and superheated to a living red and something must happen or bust. Nothing busts.
 Kindly and courteous, her people win the new conner, and once within the influence of the true El Centro spirit it is easy to account for the phe- nomenal growth of our county seat.
 "The kindly greeting one meets from officials and laymen alike is win ming. Even big, genial Sheriff Mea- dows said to the snake editor: T am pleased to see you here and the snake editor wants to believe that the sher- if forgot that both were then in the county jail.
 "El Centro is the fitting summum bonum of the business blood and brains of Imperial valley, and so rap id and complete are all her victories that there is hope that she will yet get over that roof episode and cinch her victory by painting it red

TO RECLAIM SALT LANDS.

The government is about to con duct a most important test in the Yuma Valley. The agricultural de partment through MT. Peterson, who has charge of the Yuma station, is preparing to take up the poorest piece of salt land it can find in this country and see exactly what it costs to re- deem it and to determine what is the most economical method of reclaim ing it. Dick Marable is now boring holes at a distance of every 200 feet on the old Baker tract, which con tains high percentage of alkali and is lifting dirt from them for chemical analysis. When the worst piece of land in the valley is located, MT. Peter son will set about to see how to get the best results in handling it. Yuma Examiner.

"ESTHETIC FL CENTRIC"
An Appreciation From the Snake Ed itor" of the BrawIey News" First
 Visits Results.

Recently Editor M. D. Witter of the Brawley News has had such an ex- pansion of his feld of labors that he found it necessary to get an assistant, and he was fortunate in securing the services of w. IT, Wheelan, formerly an editorial writer on the Los Angeles Herald Mr. Wheelan, made his first trip to El Centro last week, and tells of it in the last issue of the Brawley News as follows:
 "The snake editor of the News took in esthetic El Centro last week and like all tenderfoot tourists was a slave to first impressions.
 Right on the edge of the town they are building a fine depot, and with the true El Centro spirit of painting all thing red, this structure stands out on the sky line in a dress of paint so very red as to deafen the siren on the locomotive.
 Up from the red depot, stretching a lineal half mile, are great, red brick blocks of stores and offices, such as to challenge the admiration of even a Brawley boomer, and it takes a good deal to do that.
 Blocks and blocks of cement walks and level. well watered streets lead one past fine stores, lighted with great plate glass windows and filled with exhaustive stocks, till the most con servative outsider falls a convert to red paint and wants some of the same in his'n.
 "The piece de resistance in El Gen. s.- A., ,d hnT A of the county officials also incident ally, of some who are not officials, for the county iail is tagged on behind.
 Entering this massive temple of as sorted wisdom the snake editor was awed by the aggregations of jolly, well fed and kindly men he met, who do penance for their sins and transact the business of the county in this modern Pantheon and seem to thrive on it.
 Look up and lift up seems to be the watchword and training of this happy band, not because they are good Methodists. but because of a recent stage effect when the spervisOrs found to their satisfaction that the c. D cOmpany's water is not too thick tc fall through inch holes.
 ""Shiver my miZzen-bOOm, onthaul, Blow my stuns1 halliards, 'Keelhau my back stays and 'Shiver. my tarry top hamper are common expressions among them now, where such as 'Be virtuous and you will be happy, Sweet are the uses of diversity Xii two stones with one bird,' I want tt be an Angel and Who hit William Patterson used to greet the stranger The lure of the deep sea is over al otficialdom and the dodgasted roof i' to blame for it all.

FIFTY TONS OF FISH.

It is estimated that fully fifty tons of fish were gathered in the big basin at the overpour of Sharp's Heading, when the water was shut off of the Alamo wasteway last week and the pool was pumped out. The fish were scooped out into huge piles and con sumed by fire Their sacrifice was in making repairs on the Alamo wasteway gates.
