der the same canal system, with tho same conditions prevailing as to soil and climate, with the sole exception that it is under another flag, there are 100000 acres of fat land which will doubtless some day be thrown open to settlement Today it is ex. ceedingly profitable as a range for countless thousands of cattle, but the demand for farms will soon become so great that the 16O-acre farm will possess the land.
 The world has never seen anything like the redemption of the delta lands of the Colorado River, of which Im- perial Valley is part, and it never will, only as it follows the trail of progress" more generally called a railroad the coast, across the boundary, to the vast fertile valleys of the States of Sonora and Sinaloa, in Mexico. Here is another empire, as wild and as primitive as was Cali. fornia fifty years ago. An empire so rich in agricultural and mineral wealth that it's trade alone should make Los Angeles city of vastly greater com mercial importance than most of her people ever dream of.
 The day is not far distant when the population of the Imperial country, along the Colorado River, and no less Imperial region along the Yaqui, the Fuerte and thirteen other great riv- CTS flowing into the Gulf of California, along the west coast of Mexico, will greatly exceed that of the Pacific States of the Union today.

THE AMERICAN EGYPT.
An Agricultural Empire in Process
 of Development.
(Midwinter Times.)

In the great American Egypt, the Imperial Valley" rightly named, a land of imposing area and superior excellence, farms of 160 acres could have been bought three years ago for $40 per acre, the seller thinking he had done well, Today it would be difficult to find we'll located farms in that wonderful region that could be bought for less than $l00 per acre, and they are often held at higher figure.
 Why? Because it has been demon strated that Imperial Valley lands, covered with good stand of alfalfa, devoted entirely to cattle, horses and hogs, will pay net revenue of $15 per acre, which is ten per cent upon a valuation of $150 per acre. And no one yet has guessed the possibilities of Imperial Valley In fruit and vegetable production the valley bids fair to be one of the greatest factors in the United States.

With the opening of the Yuma Indian Reservation, which lies in Imperial county, and the ac- tivities the following operatino of the Reclamation Service project, Yuma citizens believe tha, the construction of wagon bridge will be beneficial to the town and the valley settlers.

DOUBLE ASSIGN MENTS.

Double assignments of desert land entries made prior to March 2S, 1908, will be recognized by the land office officials according to a decision rem dered by General F. c. Prescott, reg ister. The case was that of Emil Steiner of Brawley, who took an as- signment from Mrs. Clara B. Mans field. The assignee was notified to show cause why the assignment should not be rejected, as it appear
 ed that he had previously made a desert-land entry. A hearing was rendered unnecessary because of the previous ruling made by the General Land Office authorizing the accept ance of the assignmentsl made prior to March 2S, 1908. Angeles Times.

AFTER PALO VERDE VALLEY
Move to Have Section Declared Swamp Lands, Which Would be Open to
 Public at One Dollar per Acre.

A movement is on foot to secure from the Government a decaration that more than 10000 acres in the Palo Verde Valley, lying along the Cobra do River are swamp lands. In such case they would be thrown open for sale at the rate of $1 per acre, with a deposit of only twenty cents per acre as first payment. The lands would pass under State control, if de- clared swamp land.
 This is in accordance with an act of Congress in 1850, when all swamp and overflow land in California was ceeded to this State. It is said that applications have been filed with the Surveyor General at Sacramento for the purchase of all the land involved, in case it is declared swamp land. Each applicant is entitled to GAO acres.
 The next step is to have a hearing by the United States surveyorgener- al for California, whose headquarters are at San Francisco, and it is stat ed by some authorities that a re-sur- vey will have to be ordered. If he de- clares the land to be swamp and over flow, 1t will then go to the state, and the persons who have their applica- tions on file will De given a state Datent tO il on having the first in stallment of 20 cents an acre. After title has been obtained the settlers can vote to create reclamation dis trict and issue bonds to build dyke.

COTTON GROWING GT BRAWlEY
Building of Gin Guaranteed if Six Hun. dred Acres Can be Pledged for
 Nexi Springs Planting

Philo Jones of the Townsite com pany returned from Los Angeles on Thursday and reports an important in terview with J. R. Loftus, who is lead ing in the cotton proposition at Bl Cen tro and the Oakleys, in which these gentlemen agreed to guarantee the building of cotton gin in Brawley, if the farmers will put in some 600 acres of cotton. Of this acreage Mir Jones states the Brawley Town and Inn provement company will plant 1j0 or 200 acres, leaving only 400 to be talk en up
 MT. Loftus will cooperate with the men of Brawley to obtain the servi- ces of the cotton expert now engaged at Fl Centro, to instruct all who de- sire to plant. He will spend the month of January in company with the ex- pert in curing the cotton belt in the south, to acquire all possible informa- tion on the many phrases of the busi- bCpo llhSly lO dIlSC. WnibC III JuC south MT. Loftus will purchase a car load of Texas cotton seed and have it duly inspected, and send it direct to the valley. He will also purchase enough Egyptian cotton seed for the second years crops.
 The plans now being considered in clude a warehouse to store cotton in, and ready market, cash f. o. b. at Brawley, awaits all the cotton that can be raised.
 The Brawley Farm and Expert ment Company, organized some years ago is still extant, and steps are be- ing taken to get that organization to work for cotton, now, as it worked for meolns in the past. Peter Hovley is president and Major Dunn secretary. -Brawley News.

The Pure Food Law.

Secretary Wilson says: One of the objects of the law is to inform the consumer of the presence of certain harmful drugs in medicines" The law requires that the amount of chlo- roform, opium, morphine, and other habit forming drugs be stated on label of each bottle. The manufacturers of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy have all ways claimed that their remedy did not contain any of these drugs, and the truth of this claim is now fully proven, as no mention of them is on the label. This remedy is not only one of the safest, but one of the best in use for coughs and colds. Its value has been proven beyond question dur. ng the many years it has been in gen. eral use.

Some people raise up their child ren like Mrs. Katzenjmmer culti- vated her cabbage. She said: "If they can't hold their own against the weeds and worms am not going to bother my head about them. You can imagine that cab bage so neglected are apt to cap ture but few prizes at fair; and the children brought up in such a way are not likely to be very good specimens of manhood and woman hood. It is positively sin to bring boy or a girl into this world and allow him or her to ma ture in ignorance. Race suicide is not so wrong as an over production of vice which is bred at the thresh- old of the neglected hovel of pow erty, where nothing is prolific save the yield of uneducateud, untrained brats.

Our. ..Gullibility as a People.

Richard Sears has sold out his interest in Sears. Roebuck < Go. It is said that he received $25, ,O00,- COG. for his share in the great mail order concern, and this is probably no exageration, as it is capitalized at $40. 900, 900. 17 years ago Sears was getting $50 month as a rail road station agent. He started on his meteoric career by selling $9.4 watches for $ll.90. In this he was so successful that he took in part ner. and built up the largest mail order concern in the world-all in IT years. He had no monopoly like Mir. Rockefeller, nor did he have the advantage of big deals. His business was made up almost en- tirely of small transactions, and yet here is net profit to this one man of a million and half year. As the bulk of this has been made in the last 10 years. probably the average per year during that period was something like two million dollars. None of this business came from Chicago. No resident of that city was allowed to buy cents worth in this big house. This means that they found their out of town customers so eager to send money away from their homes that the Chicago trade was not worth bothering with. although they are located in the heart of this big city.
 You can go into almost any com munity and find people who have been "stung" by the mail order houses. But the queer part of it is that after being "stung" they come back for more.
 Hope springs eternal in the breast of the mail order fiend. He is sure that he will win out next time. The catalogue says so. It says plainly: These suits worth S25 anywhere; our price. $9.57." So it must be so. A catalog coming all the way from Chicago cannot lie. John Smith. the local mer- chant. does not tell the truth in his ads, but of course a catalogue weighing four pounds must be truthful. This is the line of argu ment the mail order customers have been following, and here is a mail order prince who at 45 is able to retire and enjoy himself with probably a million year to spend the remainder of his natural life. Who knows but that Mr. Sears was inspired to great things by the eel ebrated saying of MT. Barnum: "The American people love to be humbugged."
