PIcAcHo MINES SHUT DOWN.

Work at the Picacho mines shut down on September 10, and it is re- ported that the operation has ceased for an indefinite period. All the workmen have been discharged, only a caretaker remaining in charge of the property. The mines are low grade ore proposition and it is said the owners have decided to await devel- opments in cheaper methods of treat ing the ore. as it has been difficult to make the property pay more than ex- penses.

holes and pools in the ditches and there die. Then, when the wateer Is turned into the ditches again, tons of these dead fish polute the ditch water and are washed out upon the land beng irrigated. The odbr alone is almost unbearable from passing along the roads and the taste and smell in- parted to the water renders it almost unit for domestic use. So great is the number of fish that on more than one occasion they have blocked up the ditch checks and caused the ca nels to overflow their banks.
 This nuisance can be abated by a system of screnes placed where the canals leave the main canal. The Holton Power Co has such a screen at Holtville. consisting of Ainch rods placed %inch apart, and it serves the purpose admirably. The Health Office has taken up this matter with the different water companies and definite action in this work is expected soon, as the time of year is nearly at hand when fish complaints will be heard on all sides.

SANITARY PROBLEMS
Conditions Peculiar to the Valley That Call for Cooperation With
 Health Officer.

It is the pleasure as we'll as the duty of the Health Officer to locate and correct sanitary faults and to re- move possible disease producing cen- ters. This becomes all the easier when the people are educated up to sanitary conditions and show will ingness to do their part.
 In a county like ours there are more problems constantly coming up for solution than in many other counties, and their solution depends upon the cooperation we get from the people At first we meet with some opposition, at times quite severe, but when the facts were put plainly to the hygenic offenders their opposition was turned to encouragement and hearty CO., operation.
 Tourists, investors and home seek CTS, looking over a location for pleas ure, investment or home, inquire as to the healthfullness of the commu- nifty, it's prevailing diseases, water supply and sewerage disposal. just the same as they do about tax rate, soil fertility or railroad service.
 Most essential to the healthfulness of any community is it's water supply which at all times should be under careful observation so that it be kept free from contamingtion. A series of County Ordinances covers this phase fully. The open canals should be kept as free as possible from growth along the banks of grass and weeds so that the decaying vegetation will not fall into the water. Ranchers must sec that their stock is kept out of the water and off the ditch banks fol obvious reasons. Drainage wate, from houses, barns or dairies is { fruitful source of danger and mus under no circumstances be allowed tt return to canals, and an adequate pro- vision should be made to see that tht surplus drainage irrigating water iron the ranches is not allowed to draiI back into the canal In this particula our irrigating system is not complete as no provision is made for drainin, the land and it is common occur renee to see water standing at tn, low end of the land for many day after irrigating. This water become foul smelling from decaying vegeta tion, is breeding place for mosqitoe and ruins.7that part of the land b, killing the crop and encouraging tn, growth of river grass.
 Another great annoyance and pos sible source of danger is the presence of fish in the ditches. During peri. ods when but little water is beine used, countless numbers huddle into

BRING SHEEP TO VALLEY.

V. F. Edie has just returned from Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he has been attending to his wool SCOUT ing mill says the Imperial Enterprise.
 MT. Edie says that they have not completed this seasons run but be- lieves the total seasons output will be close to five million pounds, which will be about one million in excess of last years wool crop.
 MT. Edie, in speaking of stock con- ditions in New Mexico said that sheep men were suffering for want of feed and many of them would ship to our Valley, provided they could secure pasture. Already two bands from New Mexico nave arrived and several more are seriously considering the adyisability of shipping.
 A. B. Mcdonald has shipped 4.OOO into Water District No. territory, where Mir. Mcdonald purchased a tract of land last year,
 August McGilyarey has shipped 1000 in No. ' Water District.
 MT. Edie thinks our farmers should put in every available acre into barley as soon as wether conditions will per- init and take advantage of several months pasture before cotton plant ing lime.
