SAN DIEGO AND ARIZONA SURVEY

Surveyors of the San Diego & Ari- zona railroad have been at work re- gently on the west side of the valley changing the location line from the mountains to the west side canal ts avoid some broken ground. The new line runs south of Coyote Wells and strikes the canal about a mile south of the bridge instead of mile north and thence runs northeasterly to the crossing of New River This is pro bably the final location. The sur veyOrs began work on a tentative line from the mountains to Calexico, but abandoned the survey after a day ana a half of work because of the ina practicable nature of the country

PUBLIC LAND SURVEYS.

For the survey of the public lands, Congress at the last session increased the appropriation over former years, and authorized the abandonment of the old contract method" of surveys. The reports thus far received from the departments surveying forces in the field indicate that the surveys are be- ing made under the new system at a reduced cost per acre, and at very great increase of speed. Surveys that have had heretofore to await years of examination will now be adjusted and approved, on receipt of data from gov ernment surveyors, without delay

MARKING DESERT TRAILS
Congress Asked to Aid in Safeguard ing Desert Travellers and Pro-
 tecting Water Holes.

The Los Angeles Chamber of Com merce urges Congress to pass a bill placing in the hands of the Geological Survey $10,000 for use in developing and protecting water holes in the des- ert and setting sign posts along des- ert trails and roads.
 The means for the protection of the invaluable sources of water in the land of little rain is not specified, though the framers of the bill have in mind the appointment of a special corps to patrol the water holes and see that they do not become choked up by sand storms, poisoned from any source or otherwise made unfit for use.
 The sign posts recommended are of the type of which 300 are already scattered over the desert parts of San Diego, Los Angeles, Riverside, San BernardinO, Imperial and Inyo counties
 It is further recommended that the department shall publish maps, re- ports and general information relat- ing to the water holes, and to their specific location with reference to the lines of travel.

More Than Two Thousand Bales Already
 Ginned.
Government Experts Selecting Seed Cotton in Fields for Next Years Planting. Crop Report Depresses Price Twenty Points. No Scarcity of Pickers Reported.

Six carloads of cotton have been shipped this week to the mills at Oakland. The prices paid ranged from 13 to 1880 according to grade, and an extra price was paid for one bale of selected cotton from Harold Bell Wright's field on the Tecolote ranch. The market in New York fell off twenty points on Thursday, fol- lowing a report from the ginning as sociation of a ten million bale crop, and the local price is now 1860
 Up to Thursday night, the gins of the Imperial Valley Oil & Cotton Company had turned out 2279 bales. Cleaners are being installed at all the gins.
 Expert McLachlan, from the gov ernment station at Yuma, and J. H. Kinster, of Victoria, Texas, are in- specting the valley fields this week to ascertain where the best seed for next years planting can be obtained. Their recommendation will be invalu- able to valley growers.
 There is no scarcity of labor in the fields.

BIG STOCK SALE
Crawford & Davis Offer at Auction or December 22, Grade Dairy Cows,
 Horses and Mules.

One of the next interesting events to stock raisers of Imperial valley will be the auction sale of horses, mules and grade dairy cows to take place on the Crawford & Davis ranch, four miles northwest of El Centro. on De- cember 22.
 This firm plans to bring to it's ranch a large number of thoroughbred Hol- stein cows, as a result of John Craw ford's recent visit to leading stock farms of Michigan, Wisconsin and States of the Middle West, and to make room for this stock it is neces- sary to turn off lot of stock now on the ranch. The opportunity for valley ranchers to increase their stock at this auction is an excellent one. and the sale will undoubtedly attract buy CTS from many localities. An exten- siye advertising campaign has been inaugurated, covering thoroughly I'm perial, Coachella and Yuma valleys and outside points.
 An old fashioned barbecue will be served at noon to all visitors at the ranch, and rigs will be provided from El Centro to the place of sale. Don't fail to read the announcement of Crawford & Davis in this issue of the Imperial Valley Press.

COTTON POSSIBILITIES
Government Expert Looks for Great
 Result in Imperial Valley.

Gulian RiXford, a government plant expert, who has been inspecting eX- perimental stations in the Southwest, is quoted by the Los Angeles Examiner as speaking with enthusiasm of the future of the cotton industry in the Imperial valley. He says that the gov ernment has been encouraged by the fine quality and long fiber of the cot ton grown here to attempt experiments which are expected to have an i'm portant effect on the cotton industry of the whole country, It will be the purpose of the cotton experimental station to develop longer and finer fbered boil. The possibility of two crops of cotton a year will also be in- vestigated.
 Mir. RiXford has spent some time ex- amining the crop of early oranges at the experimental station at Yuma Heights. He declares the oranges grown there this year are of a finer flavor than. the Riverside fruit, and ripen three weeks earlier. He thinks that there is great future for orange culture along the Colorado river.
 The alligator pear, as grown at Yuma Heights, also took the govern ment experts fancy and he sees great possibilities in the culture of this plant. Of the dates grown at the Mec- ca station MT Rixford sampled one from a fifty-pound bunch of Deglet Noors that was as delicious as any Fard or Arabian date. He reports 47O new date palms set out at Mecca re- gently.

Race Track and Permanent Buildings Ready For
 Opening Tuesday.
Directors Expect Fine Exhibition of Valley Stock and Products and Promise Good Races. Excursions Coming from Coast Cities. Auts- mobile Road-race Called Of.

The third annual Imperial County Fair will open on Tuesday, December 13, at the permanent fair grounds in El Centro. The prospects are good for having every exhibit in readiness by the time the gates are thrown open on Tuesday morning.
 As no State fund is available ts district association this year, the di- rectors depend upon subscriptions by public-spirited citizens and the gate receipts to pay the expenses. They have dug deep into their own pockets, and they are entitled to substantial farmers of the valley
 The race track was completed the daily by trainers who will have horses in the races. Thirty stalls for racing stock have been erected and all but seven were taken at noon yesterday.
 The main exhibition building, 60xse feet, will have a "lean-to' addition for machinery and implement exhibits. Within the main building are twenty booths, each 10x10 feet The Fedora tion of Women's Clubs will have four of these spaces and others are taken by special exhibits and by valley mer- chants.
 Interest in the enterprise by out siders is shown by liberal subscrip- tions secured from the wholesale houses of Cudahy Packing Company, Cooper, Coate & Casey Company, and Cohn, Goldwater & Company, of Los Angeles; Greenebaum, Veil 6 Mi chael, and Dinkenspiel & Company, of San Francisco.
 At Redlands w. T. Bill and w. c. Hargraves are working up enthusiasm by personal labors and good adver- tisements in the daily papers They will bring at least carload of Red lands folk to the Fair San Bernar- dino Chamber of Commerce officers are also working up an excursion, and carload will come from San Diego. Either the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce or the Los Angeles Times will bring in an excursion party dur ing the Fair
 The proposed automobile road race from Los Angeles to El Centro dur ing Fair week has been called off be- cause of conflict of dates with pre- viously-arranged automobile races on the Coast.
 The Holton Interurban Railway Company announces reduced rates on account of the Fair. Fares from all points to El Centro and return will be one first-class fare for the round trip with minimum fare for whole ticket, 25c, and for half ticket 15c.

1 ton to the effect that the contract plan had been abandoned and that the work might be done on force account" As the United States government can not go into Mexico and do work on it's own account, it was thought that ar engagements might be made with a Mex ican corporation, owning land upon which the levee is to be built, to have to hire the men and teams in Mexico If such a plan should be adopted, the government engineers would be nom inally employed by the corporation and their plans would be subject to ap- proval by engineers representing the Mexican government The United States government would appear to have nothing to do with the work ex- cept to supply the company with funds. In some such fashion may the inter national devil be whipped around the technical stump.
 It has been reported that Col Ocker- son was so discouraged by the delay and the failure of Washington officials | to attend to their part of the work that he was about to quit the job and advise that nothing be done until next year, but there is nothing in that ru- nor. Possibly the engineer intimated to Washington that he was getting tired of waiting, in order to stir up some activity in that quarter, but he said to the Press that he was no quit. ter and declared positively that the work of restoring the river to it's old channel will be done refore the next high water. Col. Ockerson studied conditions in the delta last summer, and he realizes and has reported that if the Abejos break should not be closed before the June-rise, the Colo rado probably would get into the New River gorge and establish conditions similar to those which existed in 1906- z, necessitating repetition of the diff ticult and expensive operations of that period for the protection of the val ley and of the dam at Laguna.
 President Taft also understands the situation and knows that the levee must be built this winter and in his message to Congress on Tuesday he said:
 By an act passed by Congress the President was authorized to expend million dollars to construct the needed work to prevent injury to the lands of the Imperial valley from the overflow of the Colorado river I ap- l pointed a competent engineer to ex- anime the locality and report a plan 1 for construction-he has done SO In order to complete the work it is ne cessary to secure the consent of Mex ico for part of the work must be con structed in Mexican territory. Ne gotiations looking to the securing of such consent are quite near comple- tion. The Southern Pacific Railroad
 proposes to assist us in the work by lending equipment and by the trans
 portation of material at cost price, and
 it Is hoped that the work may be com.
 pleted before any danger shall arise
 from the spring floods in the river"

Imperial Valley press., 1910-12-10

Meagre information from Washing ton. Ahis week indicated that all bids fokcontracts for building the Colorado le vees would be rejected, partly be- cause the bids are not satisfactory to the engineers and partly because the Mexican government professes to be prohibited by the constitution from granting permission to a foreign gov ernment to do work in Mexico. It is said that President Diaz is personally disposed to facilitate the work but in view of the disturbed political situa- tion in Mexico he does not deem it expedient to relax the letter of the law and give his enemies ground for criticism. Apparently the authorities at Washington had taken it for grant ed that Mexico would cooperate in the work on the river and had not taken the trouble to make definite ar engagements with the Mexican govern ment before advertising for bids. At the eleventh hour they discovered what they should have known months ago, and just as Col. OckersOn was ready to begin work, Secretary Bal HEeeE wired to him to hold up all bids akT suspend operations until special emissary could go to Mexico and straighten out the tangle.
 It was reported last week that Oscar Lawler was going to Mexico to obtain the permission that should have been secured last September at the latest, if it could be secured at all, and then that plan was abandoned and the gov ernment asked the c. M Go. to take the matter up through one of it's Mex ican corporations and send Harry Chandler to see President Diaz.. No body went to Mexico, but the wires were. used,, and arrangements were concluded as outlined above.
 Last Saturday a representative of the Press discussed the situation with Col. Ockerson in Yuma. The engineer appeared to be annoyed but not dis couraged by the delay. He made his report last September and was ready to begin work by the first of October, and he supposed that everything was in order for active operations when he returned to Yuma from the East a tRE weeks ago and advertised for bids All that he would say for pub lication, however, is contained in the following written statement addressed to the Imperial Valley Press;
 "In view of the delays incident to securing the assent of Mexico to the proposed work along the west bank of the Colorado river and the closure of the break, the letting of contracts and employment of labor will be de- ferred until such time as satisfactory arrangements can be concluded No definite date for the inauguration of construction work can be given at this time.
 "It is proper to say that the delay is not occasioned by objections to the work as such on the part of Mexican officials, but wholly on account of cer- tain proper constitutional formalities, which must be compiled with"
 After that statement was made, a telegram was received from Washing
