 TO VIEW THE VALLEY
Co0USN Chamber of Commerce Plans For Entertainment of the
 Pencil Pushers.

The Southern California Editorial Association has accepted an invitation from the Imperial Valley Chamber of Commerce to meet in this valley on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of their original visit here
 It is the purpose of the county or ganiEation to show the editors what wonderful things have been accom- pliShed in the way of development within only five years, and to give them a glimpse of the brilliant future unfolding before the greatest irrigated section in the United States.
 A meeting of the Executive Com mittee of the County Chamber of Com meroe was held at The Press office in El CeltrO Monday afternoon. at which time all of the valley towns, with the exception of Heber, were represented.

WATER STOCK PURCHASE
 PROOF OF IMPROVEMENT

 " NECESSARY.
Important Decision by Land Commis- sioners in Dismissal of Dearborn's Contest Against Smith Over Imper- ist Valley Desert ciaim-Water Stock Adds to Value of Land.

The dismissal of the contested land case of Charles F. Dearborn against Abraham l.. Smith, in the Los Ange- les Land Office, has been affirmed by the commissioner at Washington. The contest involved 160 acres of land ill the Imperial Valley. It was asserted that Smith had failed to perform the work required by law and to offer proof Of expenditures. Smiths prin- cipaI expenditure the first year was the purchase of thirty shares of stock in Imperial Water Company No. l.
 Register F. c. Prescott held that the settler and assignee had made proper proof of improvements, inas- much as he bought the water stock which entitled him to use water for irrigation. and that the water added materially to the value of the land This view is also taken by the De partment of the Interior.
 The commissioner says the only rational conclusion is that Smith ex- pended money in acquiring shares of water stock for the purpose of irri gating his land. It is immaterial whether the shares were attached to the land by writing in it's description and obtaining registry of the act in the books of the water company.
