RUSSIAN EXPERTS VIEWS
Investigator Says Imperial Valley Cotton Is Better Than Southern
 Product.

A Russian engineer s. Skorniakoff, is studying irrigation and cotton cul- ture in this country for the Russian government. To Los Angeles paper he said recently:-"You have a very good system and you have done very well in so short time. A large area is being irrigated, about 10000, ,OOO acres. Now, we irrigate in Russia, but the method Is very old. America has modern methods. In our country, we have lots of canals 1000 years old Our people have had more experience than the Americans in irrigating fields, but many of your farmers coming west from the east do not know how to irrigate,
 q have just come from Imperial Valley, where looked into the cotton industry In our country we have lots of cotton which we irrigate. They don't irrigate in your Southern States, but they do in Imperial Valley, and 1 think that better cotton is grown there or will be by reason of irrigating as rains damage the crops"

OIL COMPANIES MIx-UP

Some of the local shareholders in the Hamilton oil Company have been in Los Angeles this week, investigat- ing the conditions of this concern which found easy picking among Im- perial Valley business men. It is said that Dr. Hamilton put III a Dill for $26.0OO for service rendered, and that a committee reported to the share holders that it recommended the all lowance of $1S,OOO to Hamilton, $500O of which was to be repaid the com pany for money borrowed by Hamil- ton on treasury stock. This was not satisfactory to the minority share holders, and the matter is to be taken into the courts for adjudication.
