 The casual visitor laughed. Don't try to string me-" he said.

TO DECLARE WAR
 AGAINST SULTAN
Spanish Cabinet in Session Today Con-
 sidering AdvisabiIity.
1snecia1 fronn IInited Press. ]

Lisbon, Oct. 4-The Spanish cabinet is in session to-day considering the advisability of declaring war against Mulai HafiG, Sultan of Morocco, ac- cording to news smuggled over the Spanish border from Madrid. The Madrid police are having difficulty in controlling a mob which for "A hours has been attempting to sack the MO roccan embassy. A strong guard has been placed around the embassy:
 The Spanish cabinet is convinced that the latest increase in activity on the part of the Riff tribesnen is due to the achievements which they are sure are from Mulai Hafid. The gen. eral impression in Spain is that the
 Sultan is encouraging the tribes to de- clare a Holy War and drive all Chris
 tians out of Africa Large parties from several interior tribes have 1oln-
 ed the Riffs under the native lead
 CT Harka outside of Melilla.
 Harka and his tripesmen are cioseiy
 pressing the Spaniards who are now in a position behind the hills that separate the Melilla peninsular from the mainland.
 The heavy artillery of the Spanlsh is keeping off the natives who despite the guns, are making hourly charges upon their opponents. The position Of the Spaniards is daily becoming more 1 dangerous and the 15.OO0 reinforce | ments on the way are badly needed. Several German steamers are report | ed to have landed ammunition ana guns at Melilla. These. it is believed, are for the Riffs.

 'I see what you're driving at" ao- n1itted the casual visitor.
 s"Then you'll begin to get faint idea, of what a fireman is up against
 the wear round" pursued the captain warmly. "Leave out the posslple
 danger of the business-you fellows
 usually think there isn't any danger out in these resident districts-and you
 can figure out what a sort tnlng IniS S business is. If you have a wife ana kids at home, of course, that makes it so much the better. You can see your children at meal times and once a. month you have a day with them to find out their names and what they are doing at school and how they like YOU. Once fortnight or so you know what it is to sleep in your own pea and hear your kids say their prayers
 and know you'll be on the job If a burglar breaks in or somebody IS taken sick in the middle of the night-those things happen in firemen's families l
 too, sometimes.

This crop is partially experimental
There is much to learn as to the best
time for planting, the amount of irri-
eating necessary and the proper times
for applying water, and yet without
this knowledge there is now being har-
vested from one and a half to two
bales per acre where the proper care
was bestowed. The stalks grow f. )m
three to four feet high, carry from 100
to $50 bolls, and produce a beautiful
snow-white silky fiber.
Imperial valley has the advantages
of fertile soil, abundant water and un-
equaled climate, besides having none
of the disadvantages of the south.
They have no drouth, water is at
their command at any time. They have
no transforms to knock the bolls off or
drive them into the dirt to soil and
stain them. They have no frost to stop

IMPERIAL VALLEY AND COTTON
It's Lands and Products-The New
Cotton Country

The section known as the lmperial
valley consists of tract of land about
20 miles wide by 40 miles long, stu
ated in Imperial county in the south
east corner of California and lying low
enough to be irrigated by water from
the Colorado river.
Five cities of the sixth class are To-
Gated in the valley, El Centre being the
county seat. Permanent brick bust
ness blocks characterize the building
of these cities instead of the wooden
shacks usually seen in western pioneer
towns. Banks, churches and schools
are in evidence everywhere, and there
is not a saloon in the valley.
There are now about 250,000 acres un-
der cultivation and as much more
available as the canals of the present
irrigation system are extended. Land
capable of irrigation can be obtained
from SIS an acre up to $500, accord
ing to improvements, nearness to rail-
road stations, and the amount of water
stock held in connection with the land.
The soil is composed entirely of silt
deposited for ages by the Colorado
river and has no equal in fertility in
the whole world, unless it be the delta
of the Nile in Egypt. This soil has
been found to be 600 feet deep at points
where borings to that depth have been
made. The water to irrigate this land
comes from the Colorado river and is
ample to irrigate many times the acre
age available.
The charge made for the water Is
only so cents an acre foot. The grow

those things wnlcn nave nearby mar
ket Alfalfa has been "a staple crop,
and because of it's luXuriant growth
hog and cattle raising have been deVel-
oped extensively. For the same rea-
son, because pasture is green the year
around, a large system of dairies
and creameries has grown into exist
ence. Melons and cantaloupes yield very
prolifically and very early. The prin-
cipal grain is barley. All sorts of fruit
have been planted with unvarying
success, but the one which pre-
eminently promises success as
commercial proposition above and
beyond all others is the orange.
Oranges reach maturity sooner, they
will bear earlier and are very sweet
and luscious two months before any
of the oranges from the coast dis
trict are in the market. Add to this
the fact that there is no scale on the
oranges in Imperial valley to fight AMI
no fertilization is needed, and that wa
ter is abundant and cheap, and We
have the causes which will make an
orange grove in Imperial valley yield
a net revenue double that of groves in
the less favored sections.
All this is surprising information to
the hunters and prospectors who had
occasion to traverse this valley lew
years ago when it was considered the
most arid and desolate part of the
great Colorado desert But the great
est surprise came during the present
season when it was learned that cot
ton could be grown there commercial
ly. Early in the year Mr.. j. r. Lotus,
head of the firm of Joseph r. Lotus
company of Los Angeles and Eel Cen
tro, brought from the south a car of
cotton seed, mostly of the Mebane Tri

ing of ordinary crops necessitates an
expense of about 81 per acre per year,
which is ridiculously low when the
usual cost of water in California is
considered.
The climate is one of the chief assets
of Imperial valley. 1t is continuously
warm throughout the year, though fa-
vored with cool nights which make the
location desirable for residents.
Through July and August the days
get very warm, as evidenced by the
thermometer, which sometimes reaches
up to 116 degrees, but on account of
the exceeding dryness of the atmos-
phere the absorption is so rapid that
this degree of heat does not sensibly
affect one more than 95 to SO degrees in
the humid east. 1t is the climate which
makes possible the pasturing of stock
all the year round, the growing of cot
ton, the ripening of oranges in Octo-
ber, raising dates and other tropical
fruits and the cutting of alfalfa nine
times a year.
Everything in the way of fruit, veg
etables or grain which have been tried
in the valley have fiourished, although
the product has naturally trended to
