be done before the attorney mind can be made up.
 It has been pointed by man eminent in the legal
 sson that the Brgord does not provide for the employ ment of retained attorneys by irrigation districts and that nearly every mutual water company has it's regular attorney to whom it pays salary He offers to bet that if the people wait for the lawyers to set the machinery in moon the valley will not be organized a district five years from now
 Possibly the people the valley may not wait for the attorneys to make their minds to give up their jobs The question of ownership operation of the canal system by the public cannot be settled until the waterusers organzed indeed it is idle to talk of negotiating for the system until there shall be responsible public body empowered to make terms and raise It is doubtful that attention to quests for amendment of the law be secured in the legislature advance of organization district and the present rate of progress the legislature may have met concluded it's work and adjourned before t..st..cs cen be organized.

THE QUAINTNESS OF MEXICALI.

In the advertisement of recent excursion to Imperial Valley the tourists told they would the quaint old Mexican town of Mexca if visit to that bit of foreign land and delightful experience.
 Depends what meaning one attaches to the term quaint If shack devoted almost exclusively to saloon evidences of quantness then Meca is quaint to beat the band may be quaint to sell liquors cocted with wood alcohol and kill off the native population less pleasantly There is gn-i keeper in MeX cali quaint that he has wood alcohol shipped him by the half dozen barrels and quaint assortment of whes gins tequilas and mescals comes out of those barrels
 Most of the quaint denzens MeXca nhorn gamblers bunco sharks thieves dvekeper and renegade from the Amer can sd mixed up with lot of razzed members of the most ancient profession in the world The only things Mexican about Mexca the few officials and third rate bull fighters.
 The town is sordid vulgar rotten American frontier dumped upon Mexican so and is about quaint a free fight in a sailors boarding house. -

1 formulas, I showed conclusively the falsity of Finkle's figures and so smoked out the secret opposition to to the city's project.
 The next time I met Finkle, he was assuring Eaton and Mulholland of his friendliness to them and to their project. That is: he was lying again
 The fourth encounter with Finkle was at the door of the court house in Fl Centro. He referred to the aqueduct again and said: They are going to ask for another bond issue of twenty-five millions, which will make the cost fifty millions as I told you it would be. The conduit is going all to pieces on the desert" I told him knew that to be untrue and left him.
 I wrote to William Mulholland chief engineer of the Aqueduct, telling him what Finkle said of his work, and in reply Mir. Mulholland wrote: We have the satisfaction of knowing thai he knows he is lying, and in the art of lying we know that he can fully I need to assure you that we have always been and now are still more confident that the Aqueduct will be completed within the estimate of both time and money. 1 would be ex- tremely obliged to any one who would show me place on the Aqueduct which shows the least sign of deca- dence or faulty construction"
 I have met F. c. Finkle four times, and on every occasion his conversa- ton consisted wholly of malicious mendacity or hypocritical falsehoods, all relating to matters in which he professes to be an expert. That was my reason for saying that I would not take his word for anything and that l would not believe him on his oath as an expert.
 He has sustained his reputation by lying poisonously about the Press and about myself while in the valley. Every statement he made about me was a malevolent lie and he knew he was lying.
 This has nothing to do with his tes- timony in the water hearing, which may have been correct in many par ticulars. I have no doubt that he sometimes tells truth inadvertently or when lying does not serve his purpose
 Those who were deluded into em- pIoying an incorrigible and malevolenl liar, and are reported to be "indig- nant" at my expression of want o confidence in their expert, may put this in their pipes and smoke it.

OBSTACLES TO PROGRESS REMOVED.

Imperial Valleys most pressing and immediate problems relating supply have been solved The President has directed that Colorado river be returned to it's old channel in Mexico controlled by evees and the accomplishment of will stop recession of the bed and restore the normal grade obvang replacing the dam at the raise the bed after the next flood The mutual water companies agreed provide hydraulic dredge for in
 the gae and when the deposit of silt shall have the flow through the gate should be free enough to keep the intake clear with but little assistance from the dredg stationed between the gate and the river.
 There for doubtng that normal flow of from the river into the canals be maintained during the period of low water the river and that there will be shortage of for the irrigation of lands under cu vaon but the and demand for water increase rapidly
 be that abundance of water for all the of the valley system will be available Tn July and August It hardly probable that two of unpreceden the Colorado will consecuvey but is sb and the river falls next to the low stage of last summer may enough water flowing through the all the demands unless better methods of dstri button prevail in the mutual districts.
 of record that the apparent shortages of last due chiefly increase of demand rather than deficiency supply by the deliveries of previous years February the delivery exceeded that of February 1908 by 13000 fell short of the 1909 delivery by only 5000 In March April May and June the delivery previous year by 5000 and 10000 feet July the delivery fell to the record of 1905 which tween 5000 and 0OO delivery July July the time the delivery has been from 10000 feet of the record of the previous up July the delivery less than 1000 feet of the record of 1908 and April 10000 feet higher

SAYS TRUST Is TRYING TO
CONTROL MILK SUPPLY
corbin Thompson Makes Charge and
Accomplishment Wicksrsham
Orders an Investigation.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 22.--Attorney-
General Wickersham yesterday al
rected w. 8. Kenyon, assistant to the
attorney-general and his 0ficial trust
buster" to investigate charges Of an
alleged milk trust with Headquarters
in the New York financial district. The
charges originated with milk dealers
In Washington and vicinity, who are
being pressed very hard by the dir
trict authorities in their efforts to
purify the milk supply furnished To
the national capital
At hearing before the district COM
missioners, members of the Dairy
mems association of Maryland, Vtr-
ginia, and the District OF Columbia
charged that the agitation. by the
health authorities of the district in
favor Of pasteurization was prompted
by the fact that local health authori-
ties and certain scientists In the de-
partment OF agriculture were hand In
glove with q "multi-millionaire trust
for the control OF the milk supply Of
the country"
Corbin Thompson charged that :
number OF rich men In New Yox&
had secured control OF paafeufI
machines. He named as members Il
the sac, 000,00O trust, Levi p. Mortou,
Thomas F. Ryan, Anthony Brady,
Kuhn, Loeb q Co., John r. FlagleI
and other New Workers.. One Of hie
charges was that the pasteurizatior
trust was so powerful In New Yort
city that It's members succeeded II
having the head of the health depart
ment removed and had placed in hii
position an ardent disciple OF pasteur
ization who is now trying to fois
the pasteurizing dream on on Goth
am"
According to Thompson, the trus
Is reaching out to other cities. Whel
pressed down Thompson and othe
members OF the Dairymen's associa
ton were shy on facts In regard u
the alleged trust.
The encouragement Ia not entirei,
clear as to what can be done In thu
matter. II the complaint Is directel
against certain men who have acquir
ed patents on pasteurizating machines
the matter would hardly fall within
the Sherman anti ?trust law, but what
ever the results OF the quest. the at
torney-general is determined to make
thorough investigation OF the
charges of an alleged trust.
