RAILROAD SELECTIONS
Southern Pacific Gets Busy in Terri tory Lying Southwest of Salton
 Sea.

Early in the year one of the nota- ble movements of the Imperial Val ley was the discovery of what is deemed an important artesian belt running through lands lying to the northwest of the Salton Sea, and the entry of many claims in that terri tory.
 Now comes the news that the Southern Pacific has had it's eye on this land and proposes to share fin the benefit if the land proves valua- ble. It has filed indemnity claims on a large amount of acreage there.
 The filing of it's selection was made on February 19, through Indemnity List No. 102, and this includes forty three sections lying in townships 12 and 13 south, ranges and 10 east, in Imperial county, and twenty three sections in townships 12 and 13 south, range east, in San Diego county.
 The Southern Pacific's indemnity application covers the following lands:
 Seventeen and three -fourths sec tions in l2, &; five and ne-fourth sections in 13, 8; seven sections in 13, 9; three sections in 13, 10; fif- teen sections in 12, g, and eighteen sections in 12, 10.
 It is supposed this indemnity claim is to cover lands which were selected by the railroad company and which were covered by the Salton Sea when the Colorado River overflowed.

$1,000 has been the means of adding
at least S200,000 to the wealth of
county, besides bringing hundreds
of people to the county who have
seen the advantages this county has
over the East and have remained to

In another column Hans Olson
protests against the action of the
committee appointed at the last
meeting Of the Toledo Development
League to draft resolutions to our
representatives protesting against
the report Of the United States en-
gineers condemning the Olalla dix
ing project, Why does Mr., Olson
single out the committee for his
attack? This committee was simply
appointed to express the sentiment
OF the Development League, which
Is composed OF the public spirited
men OF Toledo and the surrounding
country. By vote these men con-
denim the action of Mr., Olson in
lighting the project. He wants the
law upheld. Hasn't the law been
upheld? The residents of Olalla
have acted in good faith and have
complied with tie law in their every
action. The state laws permitted
them TO build this dam, the County
Court made orders allowing the
work. Where are they violating
the law? Mr.. Olson, by his silence
himself sanctioned the project un-
til 10y an unavoidable accident the
work was partly washed out some
months ago, When this dam was
washed out the people of Olalla got
busy and began rebuilding. Now
here comes along the U. s. |
engineers and report adversely ON
the work. The people of Olalla
and the surrounding community
protest against the report and ask
that the work remain.
