AIDE said that the report started

of the plans said AIDE, but they have
been seriously considered by myself

ALWAYS GET THEIRS.
Railroads Share Profits but not the
 Losses Of Producers.

It is stated that Imperial cantaloupe growers will make practically nothing this year, inasmuch as the proceeds of their crop will be only sufficient to pay the transportation and commission charges.
 It will be noticed, however. that the railroads stand none of the loss. Thev are making their full profits from the cautaloupe crop although the growers not CnlI receive no profits. but even i0st their labor, the expense of raising the crop and the interest on their in. vestmFnt as we'll.
 This is a matter to be taken into consideration in fixing equitable freight rates. The transportation com panies always make sure of their re- turns. They run comparatively little risk, such as most other lines of indus try must run.
 Just now, when a falling off of traf flc has lessened the revenue of some eastern roads to a point where-tem- porarily-they think they may not be able to continue dividends on watered stock and interest on excessive bond issues, they are considering the arbi trary increase of rates.-Los Angeles Express

SUBSTANTIAL GROWTH
 MATTRESSES TRAVELLER
VALLEY APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN
 SETTLED MANY YEARS
Price of Land Low Considering It's produetiveuess Small Farm all That a Family Needs to be Sure Of Comfortable Living.

San Diego's former City Auditor N. R. Titus, made a trip through Imper. ial Valley recently and on his return he said to the Tribune:
 The impression which one gets from driving through the settled DOT ticns of the Valley is that of travelling through a country which has been under cultivation for say 25, instead of but one to five, years Green fields dotted with fat cattle, horses and hogs; trees from ten to fifty feet in height; well built highways, and water running through ditches in ev- cry direction, all show stability and presage wonderful future for this new country, that does not at all ap- pear new with at least 100000 acres growing products with twice the rap idity one is accustomed to see and that on land which only a few years ago was a desert waste where human lives were frequently lost from want of water that is now so abundant and so cheap.
 Prices for land are extremely low, considering it's productiveness. The vel UCSt Ol 'lclu Cdll DC pul CletSCO for from $25 to $75 per acre, depend ing upon it's proximity to railroad townsites, this with water near and capable of irrigation. The water rental of 90 cents per year per acre foot is remarkably cheap. Think of a farmer being able to get a foot ci rain on his land, just when needed and where needed, at 50 cents a year, and that in a country where the climate is such that his crops grow every hour of the day, and every day of the year
 There is much speculation as to the outcome of the pending litigation, wherein the court has stated that the water company cannot charge for water rightS-the mere right to use water-as has been the custom. But whatever the outcome of the litiga- tion the fact remains that there is an abundance for all and the water company will be entitled to reason able compensation, while the water user will be compelled to pay only l that which is reasonable.
 Tn summing up my impressions of the valley I firmly believe that any ! person owning, say 100 acres, paid 1 for and in cultivation, in five years from this time will have an income | sufficient for any reasonable family, | and for all time to come"

HARMLESS HUNTERS.
Members of New Club wilt Chase
 Game Without Guns.

A Los Angeles a hunting club has been formed whose members are to go hunting with cameras in lieu of the rifles and scatter guns of the other hunters of wild game. One of the ob- jects of the organization is to estab- fish a lodge where the contents of the game bags of the membership will be exhibited and preserved for all time
 Membership in the club is limited to those who are able to file with the officers of the organization a speci- men of their own handiwork in which some wild animal or bird is shown in its native state. No tanned wild ami mals will be permitted to compete
 These hunters have the advantage over the ordinary hunter in that there is no closed season for them and that no species of the beasts of the field. fowls of the air or denizens of the deep are in the forbidden list. The members declare it to be more pleas ure to shoot" the wild animals with out either killing or maiming them than to fire with bullet and bring in hides and pelts as trophies of the chase.
 The wild animals and birds are to be snapped in their native haunts They will be chased to their lairs or caught unawares, and in time the club hopes to be successful in acquiring a yoluminous collection.
