GET READY FOR TAXES.
County, Assessor Fuller Appoints Deputies and Prepares For
 Spring Work.

County Assessor Fred Fuller has appointed H. B. Miller and c. F. Elm cry as deputies and is preparing to begin the work of assessment next Monday. It is expected that the total valuation of the county will be about twice as great as last year and this will materially cut down the rate.
 This year the water stock and pos -sessory rights will be assessed, ac- cording to direct instructions from the State Board of Equalization, as personal property and these taxes will therefore be payable immediately after March 1, providing there is no real estate as security.
 The assessors office in Imperial county is in splendid condition, better than in most counties, which have been established and in operation for years. The county is to be congratu- lated on having secured so able and efficient an official as Mr. Fuller, and if the taxpayers will cooperate with him by complying promptly with the requests for information which he will make, the work of assessment will go forward promptly, equitably and satis- factorily.

are 100000 plants in the Brawley hotbeds at present.
 Fully 50,000 acres of land Is under alfalfa at present each acre bearing an average of ten tons annually, out. side of pasturage afforded at certain periods. The total of 500,000 tons an- nually for the young valley soon will be low figure, as the field of activity in this direction is increasing rapidly.
 Ten alfalfa crops year is the aver age at present, the cuttings being made when the hay is about two feet high. In hot weather it is necessary to cut it every three weeks, so rapid does the product spring from the ground.
 It is estimated that 5O0,00O acres of Imperial Valley land will be under cultivation within two years.-San Diego Union.

LAND-eRABeERs HIT.
Decision in Imperial Contest Holds Out Little Hope for the Jump
 ing" Clan.

Land-grabbers who expected to take advantage of the present unsettled conditions in the Imperial Valley, says The Times, are receiving scant con sideration at the hands of the officials of the United States Land Office.
 An important decision was given last week in the case of Vaclav F.. Kucera against Herbert G. Oakley, whose half section, located near I'm perial, is valued at more than $25,000.
 The contestant endeavored to show that Oakley had not improved his land as required by the regulations of the Land Office. Both sides summoned numerous witnesses and the contest became bitter. In rendering decision Gen. F. c. Prescott, the register, holds that the contestant failed to support his charges that the land was not ir- rigated or cultivated.
 "The question is whether Oakley re- claimed his land," said he. We find that the contestee had expended time and money in improving his land. This office will protect the men who fairly and squarely carry out their part of the agreement, and in this at titude we are sustained by the com missioner.
 "The legitimate claimant who com plies with the law has nothing to fear. The technicality that Oakley intended to subdivide his land is eliminated as far as this decision goes"
 In accordance with this decision, a number of frivolous contests will be dismissed on similar grounds.

PREsBYTERIANs GET BUSY.

At the Congregational business meeting at the Presbyterian church last Tuesday evening, many matters of practical interest to the church were discussed and acted upon.
 Remarkable enthusiasm was shown on the part of all in removing the in cumbrances and putting church mat ters on a business basis. By unani- nous vote of the congregation, Rev. $. I. Ward, who is at present supply ing the pulpit until the first of April, was given a call to become the perma- nent pastor. Rev. Ward announced his acceptance of the call and arrange ments will be made for the installa- tion as soon as possible after the April meeting of Presbytery.
 After the business session, refresh ments were served by the ladies of the church, and all were highly enter tained by Mrs. Geo. Irwin and Mir. Joslin.

Washington dispatches say that af-
 er hearing before the House Commit
 ee on Claims, the matter of reim-
 Iursement of the Southern Pacific for
 ts outlay in closing the break of the
 Colorado will be referred to Frederick
 I. NewelfS director of the Reclama-
 ion Service, with instructions that he
 urnish the committee all the facts.
 Director Newells report will show
 hat this appropriation asked for is bot a claim, but reimbursement.
 Representative Smith called upon President Roosevelt and talked the natter over with him. The President will send for Chairman Miller of the Claims Committee, and urge him to have the committee take favorable ac-
 jon upon the pending bill. The Presi- bent realizes that the Southern Pa life performed a great good when they rushed in and saved the valley from destruction, and that it is now up to the government to make good.
 4 Washington dispatch to The Times Bays the President has informed the House Committee on Claims that he has no differences with E. H. Harri- man over the proposition that the gov |ernment shall reimburse the Southern Pacific for moneys spent in saving the Imperial Valley in Southern California from inundation by the Colorado river The President le it be known that he was not at all strong for Harri- |man or his methods, but he was bound to admit that he had done the country service in assuming the ex- pense of saving the Imperial Valley. In short, he announced a square deal.
 Tn order that there shall be no con ception that the President has changed his attitude concerning Hartman through his advocacy of the Southern Pacific claim, he has spoken plainly enough for the dullest person to un- derstand that the railroad magnates s place in his affections is precisely the same as it has been during recent Congressman who called at the White House were bluntly told that Hartman and his methods were, still disagreeable subjects of conver- sation.

The Nelson Killion deal has not been closed, and but little hope remains for the exchange of pitchers. Fisher is after another pitcher, hard hitting outfielder and sugging second baseman. It is believed that Mas sing, because of the hitting stride he Is now enjoying, will be sent to right field as soon as Crist arrives. He will sup plant McIyer, whose hitting has been a disappointment all season. The entire pitching staff of the locals is badly crip- pied.

Though the locals were defeated it was by the narrowest mar gin of to ?, which means that 1t was a fairly good game. However, Jackson has played many better games than she put up today.
