The Grand Forks Press seems to b
growing worse In the matter Of
putting poster.type headings over In
significant Items. Whether the oh
ject u using large type over minor
articles results from lack OF Judgment
or desire to save In type-setting, .
regular reader soon ceases to "thrill'
when he strikes one Of them. Their
use reminds one Of tho boy Who falsely
cried "Wolf!' until no one would b.
lieve him, even wtlen the wolf came.

nations often present the appearance
Of immense basins, the boundary or
rim OF the basin having been formed
by an upheaval Of adjacent strata. In
these formations it often happens that

mouth OF the tube The rain Offering
down through the porous layer to the
bottom OF the basin forms there a sub.
terranean pool. which, with the liquid
or semiliquid column pressing upon It.
constitutes a sort of huge natural by
drostatic bellows. Sometimes the pres
sure on the superintendent crust is so
great as to cause an upheayal or dis

Irrigation Problems.

In conclusion, Engineer Tait says:
 The channels cut in New River and the Alamo river by the flood are of inestimable value as drainage mains for the valley The flow of the rivers increases materially through the val ley and the salty water is an indica- ton of the effect they will have on the lands in removing alkali.
 Imperial Valley offers a most inter- esting field for the study of the prob lens of irrigation. It's importance lies in the fact that the country is large and is still in a stage of development, in it's having conditions peculiar to itself, in the possibility of growing a great variety of crops, and in the pres ent lack of data. The growing season is practically twelve months in dura- tion and this, together with the fertile soil and hot climate, is conducive to exceptional yields. It has already been proved that an unusually large variety of crops and industries are profitable, and that few crops are unsuited to it, but the limitations are not known.
 Irrigation in a country like the val ley is such a large factor in the grow ing of crops that nearly all problems are largely, if not entirely, ones of irrigation. The problems are not those of contention with objectionable fea- lures, but rather of the improv eemnt of already satisfying results. The con- ditions in the valley are unlike those of any other irrigated district in this country. The only places with prob lens in any degree similar are in Ari- zona It follows that the results of studies elsewhere can not be applied to this valley.
 A limited number of copies of the Tait report, Senate document No. 246, 60th Congress, have been printed and will be mailed to applicants by Sena- tor Flint, upon receipt of request, while the supply lasts.
Imperial Valley press., 1908-03-14

on account of the almost endless mar ket for the products. The number of dairy stock was doubled during the past year, and there are now $500 head in the valley. Some of the herds number so head. There is a creamery at Imperial, and others are being built at Holtville and Bl Centro.
 The valley is well adapted to poultry raising and although there are not as yet any exclusive poultry ranches, many chickens and turkeys are raised.
 An estimate of the total value of the products in the Imperial Valley in 1906 may be based on the value of the product of the four largest indus tries. 1t is estimated that one-fourth of the 500,000 sacks of barley grain is fed to stock in the valley and that the other three-fourths was shipped out. It is also estimated that 15,000 head of hogs and 7500 head of cattle were shipped and that the others were retained on the ranches. Dairy pro ducts average SIS per head per year No account can be taken of alfalfa, although one of the chief crops, be- cause it is all fed to stock.
 The values are approximately as follows.
