BIG REPAIR WORK ON
CANYON LINE.

The inspection of the power line in
Ogden canyon by the chief engineer
of the Utah Light C Railway com.
pany Is said to be the first move in a
thorough overhaullng of the big pipe
line which starts at the dam above
The Oaks and ends on the hillside
some $50 feet above the power house.
The greater part of this pipe line is
made of wooden slaves, bound to-
gether by wire. When kept under
water, the wooden pipe is said to en-
uure longer than a metallic pine. OF
late breaks have appeared, disclosing
weaknesses in the aqueduct. and the
flow of water from these openings at

pressed that extensive improvements

ADMINISTRATIVE WASTE.

The Wall Street News says: When
Mr.. Hartman suggests that govern
ment expenditures should be regulated
on the scientific basis on which he
manages a railroad, he will have the
sympathy of every taxpayer in the
United States. 1t has been estimated
by entirely competent persons that the
waste in New York city alone amounts
to something like $4O,00O.0O0, annually
II this Is so, what must be the waste
of our extravagant federal government,
and when we add on all the other NUM-
cipal and state governments the OBJ
vious cost to the people OF this country
is terrifying to contemplate.
Mr Hartman forgets, however, that
If anything like the efficiency he de-
sireS were established, the people Of
the United States would probably be
running his railroads as well. The
most vital argument, although not the
best in principle. which can be made
against public ownership is the ghastly
extravaganza Of public departments.
Take away this objection and the
other and really more important one
that people are debilitating when the
state does for them what they can do
for themselves. would probably prove
too abstract to check the expansion of
official power.
We can, however. go some way to-
wards economy. Surely our statesmen
are not all crazy. They must see the
chaos towards which they are drifting
The storm Is gathering and 1t is well
within the probabilities of the early
future that we may see an agitation
against administrative waste which
will relieve the public corporations
from pressure of political character
for long time to come.
The way to economize is to ccono-
mize. We never get much further in
listening TO endless reports Of unnum-
bered commissions What we want is
somebody in the spending department
who Will cut down expenses without
waiting for further instructions. A
competent borough president in Man
haitian. by discharglng half his en-
ployes and putting the fear of hereafter
Into the others. could establish such n
reputation for himself that he might
have any gift In the peoples power.
1t is just such man as this that no
party Will support. One political party
is just as eXtravagant as the other. II
the Republicans waste money in Wash
ington, the Democrats sQuanjer 1t in
New York. The politician" Is not in
that malodorous profession for his
to create as many jobs as he can; to
give out as many contracts as he can
and to extend his patronage at our e0-
pense for the benefit of his own pock-
ct all the time"
Here Is the problem and SO long as
the rest OF us clamor for public eXpen-
dlture on expense luxuries one day and
public retreGchment the next, the prob
lem will remain unsolyed. Herbert |
Spencer said that people gets exactly |
the government 1t deserves. We may |
grow to deserve a better government |
some day but 1t Is a misfortune Of any |
that none Of our elected or appointed |
servants can embark upon effective |
economies without antagonizing all his
fellows

NEW BANKi NEW QUARTERS
First National to Open In Corner Room of Thomas Beach 6loek--5uild-
 ing win Soon Be Ready

Rapid work is beiug done on the Thomas Beach block, at the northwest corner of Sixth and Main streets. Yes terday the pastering of the rooms on the first floor was begun, and the bank quarters in the corner room, and postonlce room on the west side of the building are to be completed as rapidly as possible.
 The quarters to be occupied by the First National Bank of El Centro will be the handsomest banking rooms in Imperial Valley. The walls will be tinted in soft tones of buff and yellow All the floor space outside the count CTS will be laid with white and blue tiling in small figures. The bank counters will have base and top of white Italian marble, surmounted by division panels of heavy French plate glass. The furniture Is to be of Derby oak.
 A concrete vault, l0x13 feet, has been built into the room, and a safe and door from Cleveland, Ohio, have been ordered. The door weighs 5000 pounds. Plate glass is on hand for the wide windows surrounding the two sides of the bank quarters.
 It is believed that the room may be ready for use within two weeks time and as soon as it is. completed the bank will open for business.
 The Comptroller of the Currency has granted the application of the First National Bank of Fl Centro to begin business. George A. Carter is the president, and E. Hinman the cashier.

the seed. so that the stock will eat it. The seed alone should run about a ton to the acre.
 Mir Iioftus and his associates feel absolutely sure of success as the ordi- nary cotton which is selling for 12 cents a pound brings a profit in the Southern States where only part of bale to the acre is secured. While the Egyptian varieties will undoubted- ly grow to perfection in this locality, and in addition to being double the value of the ordinary cotton in price it is believed at least bale and half or two bales to the acre can be secured.

COTTON MILL PROJECT
Negotiating For Property at Crest more for Factory That Eventual ly May Work Up Imperial
 Valley Product.

The general interest taken by I'm perial Valley residents in the develop meut of the cotton industry will cause readers of The Press to note with at tention the following from the Los Angeles Times:
 Terms have been tentatively agreed upon for the sale of all the unsold portion of the Crestmore townsite to Dennis Howarth as a site for a cot ton mill The proposed factory will involve an expenditure of S300,000, and when running to full capacity will give employment to 400 people. The raw cotton which will be used in the manufacture of towels, tablecloths, ticking and similar goods, will at first be brought in from Texas, but later will be supplied by the plantations in the Imperial and Coachella valleys.
 The site adjoins the plant of the Southern California Cement Company at West Riverside at the terminus of the Crestmore electric care line from Riverside. MT. Howarth was for many years owner and director of the Woodstock cotton mills at Anniston, Ala, and also of the Chester cotton mills at Chester, Pa. The deal has been negotiated between Dr. Alex Pattie, principal owner of the Crest more property, and MT. Howarth and his Los Angeles brokers. A written proposition has been agreed upon be- tween these two parties and placed with the Merchants Trust Company, pending a ratification of the deal by the Crestmore syndicate at meet ing which has been called to be held in Los Angeles this week
 Plans for the factory have been completed by Train & Williams, Los Angeles architects. These provide for two buildings aggregating 900 feet in length, a power plant and other struc- lures.

SURVEY FOR HIGH LINE
Reclamation Service Engineers Pro- curing Data For Extension
 Into the Valley.

Francis l.. SeIlew, engineer of the Reclamation Service in charge of the Yuma project and Iaguna Dam, visited El Centro last Tuesday on his way to Lower California to look over the ground through which canal from the dam into Imperial Valley would pass.
 Mir Sellew said he probably would send out a party to survey canal line around the south end of Pilot Knob and procure data for estimates of the cost of bringing water into the valley from Baguna Dam. He has two typographical parties at work in the north end of the valley. He ex- poets to find 1t feasible to locate high line canal about 25 feet above the level of the present intake of the c. D. Co.'s system, which would make possible the reclamation of large area of land now above the canals.
 The Reclamation Service has no fund available for such an undertak- ing, but it may be possible to induce Congress to advance the money as a loan to the settlers

time. It is believed that by giving a minimum of water and a maximum of cultivation. that it will be possible to obtain quality of cotton which Is superior to anything obtainable in this country.
 The labor question is also a bug bear with the majority who consider the cotton proposition in the Imperial Valley, but in view or the fact that the extraordinary quality of the soil and climatic conditions will enable planters to raise from a bale and a half to two bales to the acre, it would be profitable to use white la bor should the Mexican and Indian labor now in the valley prove insuffi- cient. New and up-to-date machinery will be an improvement over the old fashioned methods employed in Texas, and some of the Southern states. and it is believed that the economy of these up-tO-date methods will more than compensate for the difference in the price in labor.
