WILL STUDY EXPECTATION
Mutual Water Companies Of Imperial Valley Want Definite Basis on Which to Estimate Loss
 in Canals.

For several years past difference of opinion has existed between of- ficers of the California Development Company and the directors of the var ious mutual water companies of Inn perial Valley as to the percentage of loss of water in the canals from evap- oration. At present the supplying company makes a reduction of ten per cent. on the actual amount of water delivered to the main canals as US es- timate of the amount lost from this source, while many ranchers of the valley believe that the amount exceeds this.
 Now q definite movement is on foot to determine the actual loss. A meet ing of representative of Water Com panies Nos l, 1, 5, 2 and was held in Imperial on Wednesday to discuss the matter, and 1t vas decided to se- cure an expert to make investigations and study evaporation in this valley. It is probable that Frederick Scoby, an engineer of Denver, will be secured to make this investigation, and that the work wili be undertaken by the first of June,

THE ONION MARKET
Better Prices Expected Later in Sea son--sermuda Growers Dis
 eouraged.

The Chicago Produce News of May IS has a dispatch from New York say ing:
 Thus far about 750 cars of Texas onions have been received this season. Receipts this week were heavy and will be liberal next week while the week after that will begin to taper off and be less until the end of the season. The quality was never finer and the general impression is that later prices will be better
 Bermuda stock is selling for less money than Texas and despite the diff ference in price buyers seem to favor the Texas product. This week some of the finest Crystal Wax seen on the market were shown and they brought as high as s150 while some very fine yellows brought s135.
 A trife over half of the Texas crou has been shipped
 There is much complaint in Der muda about the price, which is being paid for the stock on the wharf there With onions selling at s1 here the grower gets nothing. Unless the later prices are higher the Bermuda ans will be so discouraged they will not plant many onions this fall.

PensacoIa's Share.
In securing members here last year
/ did not find a dozen men who did
not believe the inland waterway
would do Pensacola a great deal OF
good. But many who believed in 1t,
did not think it worth their while to
give their dollars in pioneer work
Yet Pensacola reported the largest
paid membership when the Columbus
convention met. It is a fact, though,
tina Apalachicola furnished more
money than Pensacola. This does not
reflect on Pensacola 1t means only
that Henderson is head and shoulders
the leader of the movement. | take
my hat off to him. 1t is his just
due, as well as an explanation due
the people of this city.
But just the same, Pensacola dollars
must be forthcoming, and promptly. if
we are to make the next convention
what it should be. Henderson can't
go on doing the lions share of the
work. Much as his immediate sec
ton has to gain, Pensacola has more
to gain than any other point if we
have continuous inland water com
municatiOn from Mobile to and across
the peninsula of Florida.
/ shall ask the convention at Jack
sonville to vote to meet in Pensacola
in 1910. I can ask more confidently,
can urge with better grace, if Pen
sacolians will give their membership
dues now, rather than later. l do not
hesitate to say. from my personal,
inside knowledge of the association
and its needs, and from general
knowledge Of convention workings,
that one hundred to one thousand
dollars raised in Pensacola now would
be productive Of from five to twenty
times as much as the same amount
raised just before the convention. Not
a red penny raised outside of Jack
sOnville will go to pay for pleasures
in Jacksonville, and as many Of the
Jacksonville dollars as we can infiU-
ence will be spent like the Pensacola
and Apalachicola dollars-for work
and constructive results.
1t has been my purpose to hold this
article to the lines followed in our
conference at Atlanta. Later, like
last year, / will ask the open courtesy
of your columns for more matter on
various phases and aspects Of the in
land waterway, the association and its
work.

PENSACOLA'S FIGHT
AGAINST The FLIES,
st. Augustine Record.

Thanks to the initial agitation of
Health Notes. that valuable monthly
/ publication issued by the Florida
State Board of Health. many of the
leading newspapers in this state have
taken up the warfare against the dan
gerOuS common hOuSefly. Leading in
the agitation is the Pensacola Jour
nal, and that papers good work has
been backed by the city's sanitary
department to such an extent that to-
day large majority of the houses in
Pensacola are screened and places
where flies breed. either destroyed or
protected against the pests. 1t is
learned from the Pensacola Journal
that Mobile has practically inaugu-
rated the anti-fIy campaign by the
passage of an ordinance requiring ''ail
bakeries, kitchens of public cafes and
restaurants, or where food is served
to be screened" Thirty days are al
lowed the owners or operators of
these establishments to comply with
the law. The Mobile Register claims
that another ordinance is needed,
such as will require such care and
cleanliness in the keep OF stables
within the city limits as will abolish
flies from such places" and it fur
ther declares it knows from a pres
ent example offered by the Southern
Express company's stables that flies
can be routed out and their breeding
places destroyed" comparing the i'm
mune condition of those stables with
others where flies breed by the mil
lion and form a great nuisance in the
neigh borhood."
The main thing is to impress upon
the people the absolute necessity of
shutting out the house fly as a pre-
tentative against disease. No per-
son can trUthfully say that he or she
cannot afford to screen a home, as
the adjustable window and door
screens for sale in the local hardware
stores are low enough in price to be
within the reach of those of small
means. And it should be remembered
that a % cent window screen may
save a 1929 doctors bill. Screen
your doors and windows and keep out
the flies.

most unwisely should it formally en-
dcrse the claims of a particular city
for public improvements on the re-
quest of representatives of such city,
was well considered and proper. The
association was formed for discussion
OF those questions which are init
mately concerned with municipal de-
Velopment; for exchange of views on
these questions and for an acquisi-
ton of knowledge which always re-
suits from an interchange Of thought.
Mr.. Waterman says with reason that
should the association depart from
this purpose and, governed by some
clique, become partisan in it's action,
the certain result would be its dis
Indignation and failure to accomplish
any good purpose.

The Passing of the
Timber Industries.

Almost every day one may hear the
remark from among the crowds that
come and go that the timber indus
tries OF this section-west Florida
and South Alabama-are fast passing
away. The remark is usually fol-
lowed by the question, And then
what are we going 10 dO?'
As a matter of course, the timber
industries o. the section referred to
are not so near exhausted as the cas-
ual observer pretends - believes,
perhaps. Vast forests have been prac-
tically removed, it is true; and very
little of the original large pine re-
mains 20 be seen. Yet, it will be
many years before the supply is ex-
kausted.
There are quantities o. smaller
trees that meet the demands in many
merchantable forms. Another fact IS
that these smaller trees grow more
rapidly when the larger ones are cut
out.
But the timber industries are pass =
ing away slowly, we admit. And
what are we going to dO2
The question is answered in one
sweep of mentaI-Or physical, if you
please-Observation.
AS the timber is cleared away, ag-
ricUlture will follow close in its wake,
ami the forests of pines Will be sue
Ceeded by a growth of life sustaining
plants which will be worth a thous-
and times more in real value.
