FIvE-FOOT MINNOWs
That Is The Size of Small Fish in Imperial Valley. Mistaken
 For Salmon.

Imperial Valley, once desert, is one of the best fields for sportsmen in the state, ducks and quails being especially numerous, and now the Brawley News has discovered that this region is a fisherman's Paradise. According to that great journal of sport and natural history, salmon fish ing in the Alamo and New rivers is better than it is in the streams of Canada or the lochs of Scotland, and local anglers are furnishing up their rods and overhauling tackle" to go after thousands of game fighters" making their way up the rivers from Salton Sea. Lest some careless per son violate the game law in their eagerness to capture these game fighters" the News gravely informs the public that met fishing for Salmon on Saturday and Sunday is forbidden in this state"
 The game fish filling the streams and ditches of Imperial Valley is the critter called Colorado river salmon, !" and is about as much like a salmon as the stork called Colorado turkey is like real turkey, and as fit for food
 A letter to Dr. Jordan, of Stanford University, the highest authority on fish, in the world, requesting informa- ton concerning the fish that Brawley anglers are said to be catching with salmon tackle, elicited this reply:
 Assuming that the fish infesting the ditches in your valley is the fish known as Salmon at Yuma and other points on the Colorado, it is a member of the minnow or dace family (Cyprin . idae) and bears the scientific name Ptychocheilus lucius. Although the jaws are wholly without teeth, it is a yoracious fish and reaches a large size, 4 or feet long, in the Colorado. A closely related species occurs in the Sacramento river, and is known as pike. It is as little Aelated to the pike as your fish is to the salmon"
 Now we may brag that in the Colo rado river and Imperial Valley ditches, minnows grow, to the enormous size of five feet in length and hundred pounds in weight, which is growing some for a minnow.

PICNIC AT EOOYS RANCH
Owner of One of the Show Places of Imperial Valley invites Visitors for
 Day Under Trees Tomorrow.

Nearly every one in the central part of Imperial Valley has heard of the F. J. Eddy ranch, located between Fl Centro and Silsbee, and have seen printed views of the wonderful tree 'growths and general transformation that has taken place in a few years on this ranch; but there are many who have not had the pleasure of visiting the place. Now the opportunity offers, for Mir. Eddy has extended a general invitation to the valley folk to spend tomorrow in picnic on this ranch.
 MT. Eddy says this is free for-all" picnic, under the auspices of no or ganization, and is given simply to afford recreation to people of the val ley. Plenty of shade trees will give comfort to all who wish to go. Visi- tors are asked to take their lunches and eat them wherever the fancy dic- tates. It is expected that many of the valley pioneers will spend the day at this gathering.
 The Eddy ranch is on the direct road to Silsbee, and anyone not fa- milliar with the location can easily find the place, as it is generally known.

EXPLOITING TITLES
 FOR VALLEY LANDS
General Land Office Getting a Move On in Issuing
 Patents
Special Agent satterwhite and Oscar LawIer Wake Up Washington, and Valley Cases are Made Special and Pushed to Settlement. All May be Cleared by June Next.

Advices from Washington indicate that Special Agent Satterwhite has stirred the Land Office to efficient activity in dealing with Imperial Val ley cases and that Oscar Lawler has made good his promise to give per- sonal attention to the matter and to appellate the issuing of patents. During the six months ending Oct. 1, the dilligent clerks of the land office managed to dispose of 150 valley cases. In the first week of October, 100 patents were issued, and that work is now progressing at the rate of 30 to 35 patents a week. Imperial Valley cases have been made special in the files, posting and recording divisions, and Special Agent Satterwhite is de. sirous of getting the consent of the Secretary of the Interior that all cases pending on appeal before him, as far as they pertain to the Imperial Val ley, shall also be made special" He is now in conference with Assistant Attorney General Lawler and other law officers of the Department with regard to this.
 All of the school section controver- sies will have been finally passed on and adjucated by the General Land Office before the 26th inst. except two cases, action on which has been delay ed on Satterwhite's recommendation.
 It is expected that Imperial Valley lapd tangles will be strengthened out and virtually all patents earned will be issued by June 30, 1911.

FAIR GROUNDS SECURED
District Directors Acquire Site East of
 Railroad and Plan Improvements

The Forty fifth Agricultural District Fair is to have it's permanent location at El Centro. The directors at a meeting held the first of this week decided to purchase the twenty acre tract on which the temporary fair grounds have been located, lying east of the Southern Pacific railroad tracks and south of the Holton Inter- Urban railroad.
 The land which is owned by w. T.. Bill, will be transferred to the asso- citation as soon as the necessary legal steps have been taken. It will be used for the fair to be held during December and numerous improve ments are to be made this season Eventually permanent exhibition halls stables and sheds will be erected, and it will become one of the finest fair grounds to be found in Southern Cali fornia
 Clarence E. Gage has been appoint D ed secretary for the association, and is busily' engaged in advancing the plans for the forthcoming fair. The dates for this event are not definitely set, but it is probable that the first week in December will be selected.
 Plans are being matured for the bringing in of excursion trains during fair week from Arizona and New Mex ice and from San Diego to pick up parties at Redlands, Riverside and San Bernardino.

merce law in the fixing of freight rates on gravel and rock. The pub lished freight rate on gravel from the pits to the Mexican line is about $1.25 ton, which is virtually prohibitive unless the shipper has mint at his command.
 Receiver Holabird received yester- day from Engineer Ockerson re- quest for permission to use the tracks on the c. D. Co.'S. levee in the work of building a dam across the break of the Abejos, and he promptly gave the permission. This indicates that the government engineers are pre- pairing confidently for immediate operations.

believed more work would have to be done to insure delivery of water He could not see how the estimate of operating expenses could be reduced materially, and he declared that he could not operate the system at all unless the water rentals should be paid in advance Col. Holabird went through the estimates in detail and gave clear and concise explanations of every item.
 Beginning the cross- examination, Mr. Britt asked: From what source did you receive the suggestion that you accept the appointment as re- ceiver?"
 MT Mckinley objected that the matter was irrelevant to the question of increase of rates, and MT. Britt explained that he desired to ascer- tain the receivers relations to other interests and the motives underlying his actions. Col. Holabird answered promptly that he accepted the recei-y vership at the suggestion of the Sou- thern Pacific Company, that he had been confidential agent of the presi- dent of the company for number of years, and that he had been made receiver, as he understood the matter, hQaoIIco thn oiR !, largest bondholder and judgment creditor of the c. D. O. He had not discussed the matter with MT. Doran, MT Randolph or MT. Cory.
 As to sources of revenue, the re- ceiver explained that the water rental for the last six months of 1909, with the exception of IF days in December were paid to the Southern Pacific under an assignment made by the c. D. Go. and did not come into his hands When he took charge the treasury was virtually empty and he had to sell certificates to pay expenses.
 Mr. Britt was inquiring into finan- cial details when the hour for mid day adjournment arrived.
 When court had adjourned it was suggested to the receiver that the water companies would probably be willing to come to his assistance if the rates were not raised and their contract rights were allowed to re- main undisturbed. The plan proposed was that the companies buy an eff cient suction dredge and give him the use of it, they to retain title in the property and that further assist ance might be given on similar terms. Col. Holabird said he would gladly the companies would pay up the rentals in arrears and continue to pay for water in advance, he believed it would be possible to get along without increasing the rate. He would be glad to lease and maintain dredge furnished by the companies.
 The proposal was discussed during the noon hour by the attorneys, and all indicated their approval of the plan Number One company was little uncertain, but after the matter was explained, the president of the com pany said he thought all the directors would agree to the compromise. The effect of such an agreement would be to put an end to the hearing on the petition for restraining order.

If our local grocers would let the
people know the prices of their
goods through printers ink, as the
travelling grocers and foreign mer-
chants do by flooding the country
with price lists. catalogues, ETC.,
there would not be so many duped
farmers or complaining merchants
The advertisers who put their goods
before the people, and keep them
there are the ones who sell their
goods. They must say when too
late, Il would have duplicated that
bill of goods" but they should have
let the farmer who sent away and
bought advertised goods of a for
eign merchant, know it before he
bought. That's the business of it.

To Remove Wall Paper.

To remove old paper effectually,
wet the paper all over two or three
times a day with a rather damp
cloth. When the paper is made
quite wet in this way, it is easily
peeled off, If the walls are to be
repapered. wash them first with
soda water, to which has been adj
ded few drops of carbolic acid,
and let the windows and doors be
left open for a few days. Then
paper or paint as desired. White
washed walls which are to be
papered should be previously well
brushed over with strong vinegar;
should be used instead of water in
making the paste, and the paper
will adhere to the walls. If the
paper persists in cracking and tear
ing off the wall, it may be made to
stick by putting it on again with a
smooth. raw paste of flour and thick
sour milk. Wall paper that has

the colors until you get as nearly as
possible the desired shade, and
lightly touch up the broken places
and the Disagreement will be quite
unnoticed. Enterprise.

People or Party.

The insurgent Republicans are
being made to feel the crack of the
party lash. The administration. by
its mouthpiece, Wickersham, to-
eether with the president himself,
is quoted as having come out and
plainly told the insurgents to either
put on the party collar and buckle
it around their necks tightly enough
to choke back their honest convic-
tic, or get out of the party, and the
sooner the better. This is no vile
threat, but a believing roar from
men in high places who, like Van.
derbilt of other days, care not a RAP
for the public, but desire only tC
further their own party interests. ~

similar subject: IF we could get
close to a comet without frighten-

find that we could walk through it
anywhere as we could through the
glare of a torchlight procession. We
should so live that we will not be
ashamed to leok comet in the eye,
however. Let us pay up our news
