READY WITH ADVICE
WORDS OF WISDOM FROM THE
souSED ONE.
Gentleman Temporarily on the Water
Wagon Referred Disparasinsly
to Object Which Offended
His Sense Of Beauty.

There entered a downtown barber
shop, a day or two ago, a man who
had climbed down from the water
wagon to make room for those who
desired seats.
He came In and looked about him
genially. The boy came up TO him to
take his coat and hat. but he o
tlnued to just look about him and size
things up. He wore good clothes. and
the eight.day growth on his counter
ancc didn't harmonize. but " he want.

about It. lie Just looked around.

one of those big bushy, dropping wal

he asked.

harmless enough. and probably came
in to get work done. Therefore he
made no effort to chase him away.
The stranger went on to observe:
ut wouldn't take a minute for tho
man to clip II Off"
Say, what are you talking about?'
demanded the II in the chair again.
What do you want with such a
thing anyway" went on the other ono
irrclevantly.
The man in the chair merely gave
him n look OF disgust, but The other
one kept right on: "Ill pay the man

The owner of the mustache demand

IMMIGRATION FROM
SOUTH EXPECTED
v. 8. FARMERS ARE RECOGNIZING
SPLENDID OPPORTUNITIES
OFFERED az WESTERN
CANADA.

st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 9, 1908.-Pres.
ent indications are that the Canadian
Northwest will draw an exceptionally
heavy movement Of new settlers from
the United States this year. II should
surpass the banner record for 1907.
This is not only based on the fact
that the Americans have come to
realize generally that the Canadian
Northwest offers splendid opportuni.
ties, but also because the railroads
have awakened 4 the fact and are
west which are exceptionally favor.
able.
The lines which lead to st. Paul
from the east and south are offering
homeseekers' rates to the Canadian
! Northwest this year which are on a
parity with those In existence to the
southwest for a couple Of seasons.
These rates can be obtained from
any agent OF the Canadian govern.
ment, who will be pleased to give all
Information possible regarding those
districts which offer the greatest in.
ducements to settlers. The weather
throughout Western Canada has been
remarkably good this year. A tele-
gram from the winter wheat belt of
Southern Alberta dated at Cardston.
Alberta, January 29th. says:
This winter up to January rs was
nothing short OF a marvel, In fact. 1t
was the finest anyone a remember
for twenty-five years though there
have been others nearly AS good. The
days were fine, sunny and warm with
light frOsts at night. Overcoats and
gloves, etc, we're discarded by most
people in the day time. There was
so little frost in the ground that post
holes could be dug without any trouble
after the first inch was broken
through. Winter wheat remained
fresh and green although there has
boen no now since the September
storm. II there is an early spring,
winter wheat should gain a great
start"
Amongst the reports Of the yield
Of last year the following extracts arc
taken:
II. Howe, Of Magrath, Alta. writ.
Ing on November. 1907. says: Il have
20 acres In crop, 80 acres Of wheat and
acres OF oats. My average yield
OF oats was 35 bushels to the acre
and OF wheat As bushels. The value
to me was $35 per acre"
J. F. liaycock. OF Magrath. writes
In November: Il had s. acres in win.
ter wheat, which went go bushels to
the acre: oats averaged so bushels. I
also had IL tons OF hay worth $40
per ton. | got COO bushels OF pota.
toes from three acres Of land: | got
eight tons per acre from five acres OF
sugar beet
J. +. bradshaw, OF Magrath, had
1000 acres OF winter wheat last year
which averaged 39R bushels to the
acre. The value OF his farm products
per acre was: Wheat. 33l.6 60; oats,
311.20 and barley, $25.15.

OVERFLOW DAMAGE SUIT.
Seventy Claims Combined In One Ac- ton Brought Against Water Com
 panIes and Southern Pacific.

It now appears that the case where in seventy ranchers of Imperial Val ley and Coachella Valley have as signed their claims for damages from flooding of their lands, and subse- uuent lack of water for irrigation due to the famous break in the Colo rado river. will have it's hearing in the Superior Court of San Diego county.
 These claims amount to S47O,OOO, and for convenience in bringing the suit have been assigned to A. N. Jones who is the nominal plaintiff in the action which names the California De- velopment Company, the Mexican aux Hilary company Water Company No. 1. and the Southern Pacific Railroad Company as defendants.
 For convenience of the plaintiffs at torneys, Sloane & Luce. the suit was filed in the San Diego Superior Court, but it was expected that at least some of the defendants would make an effort to have the place of trial changed from San Diego to either the Imperial county Superior Court, at El Centro. or to the Los Angeles county Superior Court at Los Angeles. How ever, dll Ol IuS uSlSHuelllCo h1FO pOOll served with summons and have filed their demurrers to the complaint, and none of them have asked for change of the place of trial,
 The California Development Con- pany and the Mexican Company are represented by Edwin A. Meserve of Los Angeles; Imperial Water Com pany No. 1 has as it's attorneys, Stephens & Stephens of Los Angeles, and the Southern Pacific Companies have their interests looked after by Denis & Lowenthal, also of Los An geles.
 It is unlikely that a hearing of the demurrers will take place before the latter part of September, as this is the vacation period for courts and attorneys.

HURT IN RUNAWAY.
David Storms Probably Fatally ln- jured In Accident Near Silsbee-
 Taken to,Central Hospital.

David Storms, who lives one and a half miles southwest of Silsbee, was probably fatally injured in a runaway Tuesday forenoon.
 While driving, his team became frightened and manageable, and Mir. Storms was thrown out of the wagon, the front wheel striking him on the left side over the kidney. He was showed along in front of the wheel for several feet, and then both front and back wheels passed over his ad- dOmen.
 Mr. Storms was picked up and cared for until medical assistance could be called, when he was brought to the Central Hospital. Internal injuries make his case a very precarious one. His brother, who runs the stage line between Silsbee and Imperial, is in Fl Centro to remain with the injured man until he is out of danger.
