CREAMERY BUILDING.
Imperial Valley Milk Company, at Rrawey, Ready to Proceed With
 It's Factory Project.

Plans for the creamery building of the Imperial Valley Milk Company to be built on block SS have been approv- ed by the directors, and sealed bids called for to be opened May 10th.
 The proposed building will be 40 feet square, with a 12-foot ceiling. It will be of cement blocks, with a cement floor throughout, and steel ceilings and walls, making it practically fire proof There will be an operating room 20x2S, an office Sx10, cream room 10x12, commercial refrigerator or cold storage room for the convenience of local merchants 15x20, boiler room 10x24, and an engine room 9x24. A 20 horse power boiler will supply the mo- tive power for the 6-ton refrigerator plant. A DeLaval separator with a capacity of $500 pounds an hour will take care of the milk brought to the station.
 The farmer may weigh in his milk on one side of the station and driving to the other side, by inserting ticket in slot, automatically receive the amount of milk due him.
 The machinery will cost $4OOO and the building and grounds $3OO0.
 The plant will be ready to operate early in the fall, and the company will be prepared to either sell the cream or make butter, as appears best.
 That it's completion will mark an era in the history of Brawley can be doubted by no one. The dairy farmers are the men who have had ready mon- ey in Imperial Valley from first to last, and the more of them in the north end the better it will be for general business.-Brawley News,

WORK ON MAIN CANAL
Water Way in Imperial County From Laauna Dam to Indian Reserva- ten Laterais Has Been
 Commenced.

While at least forty miles of later als and many headgates of cemen have been constructed through the lands of the Yuma Indian Reservation, in Imperial County. along the Colorado River, work on an extensive scale is just beginning on the main canal which is to carry the waters of the Colorado River from the intake at the dam to these laterals.
 Resident Engineer Vincent is in charge of this work, and from the sluice gate on the California side Of the river for mile and half south westerly through the Reservation the line of this canal lies amid hills and sand dunes, so that the work of con- struction will be slow and difficult
 At least 25O men and two huge steam sbovels will be engaged ul the work, and it is estimated that four months will be required to complete the canal to the point where the waters will be diverted to tue la.er- als

MORE CHILDREN; LESS TERRI
 TORY.

The remarkably good showing made of the growth of Fl Centro by the school census, as detailed in the last issue of The Press, is further empha- sized by the fact that during the year nine sections of land were taken from this district and added to the Imperial school district. With much less territory, the number of school children has increased greatly.

THE ROAD FROM MARYsVALE.

1t is always easy to tell another man
how to .aanage his business. And,
being easy, we suggest to the owners of
the Rio Grande Railroad company that
a line from MaTysvale to the Crane
Canyon of the Colorado would be of
vast advantage to the entire system.
We haven't even the smallest bit of
brickbat to shy at the owners of the
Santa Fe. The only error with which
they can be charged is that they don't
run their road through Utah. The Rio
Grande does. It serves a great many of
our people, and a great many people
who are not ours, and whom we of Utah
should be glad TO win as citizens.
The Santa Fe people take $4,000
tourists every year from Williams. on
their main line, up to the Grand Can
Won. The Rio Grande takes many peo-
pie through this state, and if they see
the Grand Canyon they have to go
around by way of California. If the
trip could be made by the more usual
routes of travel, through Utah, the
llAlllDCI VI AlollDlS 10 llictL lilOSL NOu-
derful of natures marvels would be
vastly increased. Some of the tourists
through Utah would see the natural re-
sources of this state, and would help
the people here to that development
which so peTsistently awaits the awak-
enfng hand. They would find more iron
than there is in the Superior region;
more copper than there is in Montana;
more coal than there is in Ohio and
Illinois put together; more good farm
land than there is in Michigan, and
more beautiful scenery than there is
in Switzerland and Italy.
Such a railrOad-from Marysvale to
the canyon, would go, for the most part,
through villages and towns. It would
find already a country capable Of sup
porting maintenance charges. It would
carry into that county a multitude
Of settlers, and in a few years would be
bringing their products to market.
The Rio Grande can help itself and
the people Of Utah by building the line
south from Marysvale.

York, some years ago. the east side
Jews presented-in Yiddish-the play
of Jonas" It was the Bible story, but
stripped of the excessively reverential.
To those people it meant more a his
torical than a religious drama. And it
was wonderfully successful, because it
touched the racial sensibilities. Corr
anton" presents much the same view,
with the religious element added. And
so sincere is the author, and so careful
are the actors, that sacrilege is I'M
thought Of.
Corianton is the SON Of the high
priest, and goes with his brother and
others on a mission from his native
people, the Nephites. 10 convert the 70
ramites. He is beguiled with the be-
guilement of Samson; but the Delilah
in his case loses her heart to him while
she wins the transient dominion
somewhat after the fashion that Sal
vini presented in the play Samson ana
Delilah." And the end is the triumph
of justice and right.
In the play, so singularly local in its
origin, so characteristic in its theme
there are many good actors. Besides
Mr.. SwensOn and Mr.. Thorn, is the vet
eran Luke Cosgrove- always a con-
scientious and a competent actor But
the charm Of the piece in its acting is the
singularly difficult work of Miss Blanche
Kendall, the Delilah who sUrrenders to
her captive-a work singularly we'll
done. She has not the robust physique
of the ideal temptress. But she has the
winning grace which has in every age
carried the world captive. She person
ates the unawakened soul; and she rises
to compelling stature because of her
contact with religious fervor not yet
released from the world.
With such matter, and by such actors.
ar. Bean gives a big thought to the
race. Underneath the banner of re-
ligioUs allegOry marches human nature,
admirably conceived, unusually com,
pretended. The play is more than Z.
spectacle, more than an allegory. 1t is
a detail in that battle between right
and wrong which has been in progress
since the foundations Of the world. And
It is creditable to Utah that one of her
sons has set it before the public.

HELP HOME MANUFACTURERS.

One Of the local manufacturers says
in his advertisement that men in his
line do more than any other for the ad-
vancment of a country. That is, manu-
features form the principal developing
agency.
And the man is probably within the
limits of the reasonable.
But no man can prosper at manufac-
turing unless the people buy his wares
It follows. then, that the people who
want their state developed should buy
of the manufacturer whose establish
ment is nearest to them. We of Utah
should buy Utah goods wherever we
can get them. The money We spend
brings us as much value as would be
the case if we patrOnized a house
thousand miles away. And every dollar
Of it Increases the value of a plant the
prosperity Of which adds something to
every rood of ground, and to the ac-
tivity of every other Utah business.
The more factories we have here, the
more labor viii be employed. Every
workman viii be a consumer of Utah's
products. Usually he will be a home
maker. Always he will be a citizen if
he wills it so.
When you help the Utah manufac-
turer, you are helping yourself.
