PETITION FOR PATENTS
United Effort of Land Owners to h. duce Government to Keep Its
 Promise.

Settlers who have completed the reclamation of their land, made final proof and received final certificates or final receipts, are being urged to unite in a petition to the President, the Secretary of the Interior, the General Land Office and the California sena- tors praying that patents be issued forthwith to those entitled to re- ceive them. The petition recites that no patents are being issued because errors in surveys have caused con- flict in some cases between school sections and desert entries and ar gues that there is no reason or jus tice in withholding patents in cases in which there is no conflict or dis pute of any sort. The gist of the petition is in this concluding para graph:
 That those of us who have law fully and conscientiusly done every thing required by law and the rulings of the Department of the Interior to take up and convert to our uses the lands in the public domain, be not made to suffer embarrassment and f. nancial loss, while the proper officials are Investigating and correcting any any irregularities or conflicts existing in other cases, but that patents issue immediately, or at least, without any unusual delay, in those cases where final certificates or final receipts have been issued, and where there are no specific conflicts which could give just grounds for refusal to issue patents in those specific cases"
 Ony those who have final receipts or certificates are expected to sign the petition, copies of which are in the offices of the committee on pat ents, consisting of H. c. Griswold, Fl Centro; Leroy Holt, Imperial Frank Birkhauser, Brawley; A. M. Shenk, Calexico, and c. H. Eckert, Holtville.

RECE|vERSHIP CASE
Continuation of Hearing in Action Seeking to Set Aside Receiver
 ship of c. D. Company.

The case of the Title, Insurance & Trust Company, of Los Angeles, vs. the California Development Company, in which intervenors seek to have set aside the appointment of w. A.. Holabird as SReceiver for the c. D.. Company, was again taken up before Judge Franklin J. Cole in the Imperial County Superior Court yesterday fore noon.
 The Southern Pacific interests are represented by Judge J. w. Mckinley; Edwin J. McCutcheon represents the New Liverpool Salt Company which holds a judgment of $450,OOO against the c. D. Company; and Nathan New by represents Boaz Duncan and the minority stockholders. H, J, Stevens, of Los Angeles, is assisting Judge Me Kinley.
 At the time The Press forms were closed testimony was being taken to show the actual expenditures on the c. D, system since the appointment of a receiver,
 Attorneys McCutcheon and Newby save the court notice that later in the day they would file answers to the petition of the receiver asking for au- thority to issue receivers certificates for payment of work on the system. These answers were to be filed on be- half of the interyenors.

to be made the center of the horse and mule selling business of Imperial Valley. From El Centro stock is to be distributed to all parts of the valley through the medium of regular sales yards and quarterly auctions conduct ed on a large scale.
 c. P. Randolph has purchased a tract of land adjoining the Southern Pacific tracks south of the company's stockyards, and is preparing plans for the erection of model stock pens, with a central pavilion or grand stand to be surrounded by circular parade or speedway, where stock can be turned in from the pens for inspection.
 It is his plan to bring to El Centro carload lots of horses and mules and to hold at least once a quarter large auction sales, similar to those held on the California. Mexico Land & Cattle Companys ranch. He has just ship ped in a carload of mules. The new mule and horse market will be start ed this spring.

CANALS ARE FILLED BY RISE OF COLORADO HaIf-BuiIt Diversion Dam Re- moved From River to
 Clean Channel.
All Danger of Shortage of Water in the Valley Disappears, And Enei- of Flood Below the Protective Le- wees in Mexican Territory.

There is no longer any danger of shortage of water in the valley ca nals this season. The spring rise of the Colorado began earlier than usual and made it unnecessary to con- plete the temporary dam that the War Department authorized the c. D. Go. to build in the river at the heading. En- gineer Clarke had the piles for the structure driven half way across the river when the water began to rise, and when reports from the upper riv- flood was on it's way, he removed the obstruction and cleared the channel. More than 1900 second feet of water are now passing Sharps heading and the flow is increasing daily, and the mutual companies are getting all the water their canals can carry. There is plenty of water for the power plant at Holtville, but water will not be turned into the power canal until the dam on the Alamo below Holtville is completed or some provision made for passing the waste water by the work without interfering with construction of the dam.
 From now on the attention of the c. D. engineers will be turned to the problem of control of the river below the border and prevention of an over pour of the flood waters into New River.

the winner of the roplng competition in 1:23. Jake Meadows tried some fancy pistol shooting, but someone having filled his gun with blank cart ridges the result was not wholly sat isfactory to anyone but the joker. Capt. Stone, who is said to be a really ex- pert marksman, had bad luck in that no breakable glass balls were pro- vided for him and the porcelain eggs that he shot did not break when he hit them.
 A board of guardians having ap- pointed itself to take care of the man. ager and having taken away his mon- ey, watch and pocketful of passes be- fore he had time to give them all away, the financial result was satis- factory to Williams. The feature of the show that pleased Williams most and caught the fancy of the crowd was the realistic stage hold-up that concluded the performance. The at tendance was large and the crowd evil dently enjoyed the exhibition i'm mensely.

OIL AND COTTON COMPANY
Elects George Carter Manager And Arranges For More Seed For
 Planters.

The directors of the Imperial Val ley Oil & Cotton Company have com pleted their organization by electing Ira Aten as treasurer and making Di- rector Geo, A. Carter the general man ager of the company, The proposed bylaws will be submitted to the stock holders at meeting to be held in El Centro next Tuesday, The company has secured one of the ground floor rooms in the Hotel Oregon block for its offices, The directors are making arrangements for a carload of cotton seed from Texas, the local supply from last years crop being insufficient to meet the demand of planters. It had been estimated that the seed from the first valley crop would plant IT, 900 acres, but not all the seed weigh ed out at the gin was saved and the quantity on hand is considerably less than the gin accounted for. Soma growers fed their seed to cattle and some burned it. The indications are that 10000 acres will prove to be a liberal estimate of this years planting,

WILLIAMS WILD WEST
Successful and Interesting Exhibition of Frontier Sports at
 Imperial.

The Wild West show given under the management of D. H. Williams at Imperial last Sunday was much better than the one previously given at El Centro, little experience hay ing taught the manager some useful points in the matter of handling bron- co-busters and in distinguishing real cowpunchers from four flushing farm hands. The bad horses were first class pitchers and twisters, and the men who rode them were genuine rough riders. One of the outlaws was bad enough to pile" his rider after hard contest The steer rop- CTS had better luck with their throws than the fellows had at El Centre and managed to make fairly good time without breaking records. Mobley Meadows, who was not in the regular list of contestants, broke the Callfor- mia record just for fun by getting his steer tied in 55 seconds Gray was

FAKE PRIMARY ELECTION
Bogus Party Tickets Framed Up by Political Tricksters to Confuse
 Voters.

The Fl Centro city primary election was held last Tuesday, in conformity with the new State law, and sixty eight votes were cast. Many voters ignored the matter and purposely stay ed away from the polls.
 The ballots presented to voters were headed Republican" Democrat" 7" "Prohibitionist," and Socialist" The result of the perfunctory election was that for City Trustees F. M. Berger, w. c. Whitescarver, William Egerer, H. B. Pearson and John Norton were nominated on both the Republican and Democratic tickets.
 F. G. Havens secured the Re- publican and Democratic nominations for City Clerk, and w. H. Sprague received the Prohibitionist nomination for this office. There was no Social ist nomination for City Clerk.
 For City Marshal, c. A. Bradford received both Republican and Demo- cratic nominations; c. c. Toney was made to appear to have been nomin- ated by the Prohibitionists, but the so-called Prohibitionist vote was a fake and is repudiated by Toney.
 F. B. Fuller received the nomina- tions of the Republicans, Democrats and Prohibitionists, and G. S. Helms received the Socialist nomination for City Treasurer.
 The whole thing was farce, and so far as the near politicians could make it so, it was a put-up job and a fraud

TEST WELL STARTED
CoacheIla Valley Development Com Pany Yesterday Began Drilling
 at Fifth and Railroad

Fl Centro's municipal artesian well, long talked of and planned for, is ac- tually started. Boring began yester- day afternoon, and unless some un- foreseen complications occur within a weeks time the citizens will have a pretty fair idea of water prospects un- derneath El Centro.
 The hydraulic rotary drill has been placed at a point just within the prop erty lines at the northeast corner of Fifth street and Railroad avenue. This is immediately below the south bank of the first settling pool of the present city water system and water for the drill will be supplied from that source.
 The site of the municipal we'll is about 1900 feet west of the well sunk for the Holton Power Company, in which a formation of lava or volcanic rock was encountered at a depth of S3O feet, Shuld similar rock be struck in the citys we'll the contractors will change the system of drilling, using a two-inch core drill for piercing the rock and carrying the hole downward from that poirh Until rock Is en- oountered the four-inch drill will be used,
 Should the city contractors succeed in piercing rock and getting water 1t is probable that they will be re- called to the Holton Power Company's well to go through the rock stratum inl that hole.

NEW WATER COMPANY
Land Claimants in SoutherIy End of District Number One Plan the
 Organization.

Immediately after the annual meet ing of stockholders in Water Company No. 1 turned down the proposition to increase the amount of capital stock, the project of organizing a new wa ter company was seriously discussed at Fl Centro, but it was deemed best to hold the move in abeyance for a while. Now, however, similar move ment has been undertaken by claim ants of land in the southern end of the district who have become disgusted with their inability to secure water stock to apply to their lands.
 It is said that within the past week men who have desired to purchase stock in Water Company No. 1, to apply to their lands, so that they might proceed with the development of their places, have been held up for prices ranging from $31 to $35 per share.
 Land claimants whose holdings are located east of the Ten-Foot Drop. uCdi SdlCAiSO, ucN . oteti ICu IhS Aool movement for a new company, and have engaged attorneys to prepare de- tails of organization.
 The plan proposed by El Centro business men of securing from the United States Land Office permission to apply only a fractional part of a share to each acre of land, and thus comply with the requirements of the Land Office in making final proofs, has brought forth much discussion, and is meeting with considerable favor.
 Between this move and the organ ization of new water company with in No. Is present territory, if the new company becomes reality, 1t is pos sible that the unwatered acres of this district may yet receive the desired moisture and become fertile, produc- ing territory.
