NORTH END DEVELOPMENT
Five Thousand Acres of Raw Land Being Leveled and Prepared
 For Crops.

No part of the Imperial Valley is experiencing more prosperity than that in and around Brawley, says the Brawley News. More crops are go- ing in than ever before. the far mers are making better improvements and the merchants generally are feel ing the good effects of the increase in population and consequent ad- vance in trade.
 The newest district is under the North End Water Co. Here over 5000 acres of raw land is being leveled and put in. The canal system is practi- cally completed with a main canal of 100 feet capacity, and headworks of a size sufficient to provide for all needs.
 Development of this fertile section between the Alamo and New rivers was delayed by the uncertainty of the survey. Lying north of the Third Standard Parallel the boundaries are not governed by the re-survey of the Imperial Valley. It has been found impossible to retrace the 1856 survey, although an effort to do so has been made by the settlers in conjunction with the Southern Pacific Company, which is the owner of every odd num- bered section.
 Finally, through Land Commissioner McAllister of the Southern Pacific company. a petition is being prepared for presentation to Congressman Smith asking that the lines of the Hender- son survey of the Imperial Valley be extended to include the townships within this water district and others north of the Third Standard. All as- sessment work has been done and canals built on the lines of this sur vey, so that it is claimed that if the officials accede to this request each settler will retain the land on which he resides without changing his boundaries materially.

FIRST CROP OF SILK COTTON

The Los Angeles papers have con- tained accounts during the past week of the growing of the first crop of silk cotton in California on a town lot at San Pedro The Times says:
 The first crop of silk cotton ma tured in California, and probably the first ever grown outside of British East Africa, is being exhibited by John A. Anderson. Nearly two years ago Anderson read about silk cotton in an articles in The Times written by Frank Carpenter, who was then travelling in East Africa. It was de- scribed as a cotton that closely re- sembled silk, raised only by natives in the interior, far from the paths beaten by white men. He sent to a missionary at Uganda with instruc- tions to dispatch native to get some seed. Natives wages are 3 cents a day there, and in return he got nearly a pound of seed This he planted last April, and now he has two long rows just maturing. The plants grow to a height of about four feet, and yield abundantly. The first pods showing the glistening silky cotton, broke to- day. Mir Anderson believes his find will prove valuable to the Imperial Valley. The cotton is not of the same family as that grown there. It has long stems with slender leaves.
