DREOGE FOR THE ALAMO
Mutual Companies Contract for Build
 ing of Hydraulic Machine.

The contract for building and de- livering at Andrade a hydraulic dredge for use in the Alamo channel has been awarded by a joint committee of the mutual water companies to the North American Dredge Co.,, of Los Angeles, on bid of $57,30O. Other bidders were Risdon Iron Works of San Francisco, $63,000; United Iron Works of Oakland, $64,77O; Browning Manufacturing Company of Cleveland, $59,OOO.
 The machine will be leased to and operated by the receiver of the Califor- mia Development Company, and will be used to clear the channel below the headgate to permit the free flow of as much water as the Alamo can car ry The old dredge, now at work above the gate, will be kept in opera tion to remove silt from the intake.
 Restoration of the river to it's old bed by the government work will pre- vent further lowering of the bottom of the channel opposite the intake by recession, and may raise the bottom at low water stage. The dredges will keep the intake and the canal clear of bars, and so avert an acute short age of water.
 The Alamo can carry not more than l,SOO second feet, and that will be the limit of next seasons supply. The delivery at Sharp's cannot be much more than the equivalent of 2,50O acre feet in twenty-four hours.

DATES DOING WELL
Arboriculturist Drummond, of Mecca and Indio Station, We'll Pleased With Showing Made in Fruit
 Culture This Season.

Bruce Drummond, arboriculturist in charge of the United States experi- mental date gardens at Mecca and In- dio, will visit Imperial valley during the ensuing week to make an inspec- tion of some of the date plantations here and to introduce the government method of spraying date trees with carbon bisulphate solution to destroy the Marlatt scale. This scale has been discovered on date trees of the South west during the past year, and steps will be taken at once to thoroughly eradicate it. At first a process of soaring the affected parts of the trees with gasoline torch was used, but the solution spray has been found much more effective.
 Mir Drummond is well pleased with the progress made at the Mecca gar dens this year, He has had many va rieties of dates in bearing, and the general interest this has awakened is shown by the fact that since the first of September more than 700 visitors have inspected the Mecca gardens
 His experience has been that the Deglet Moor variety of dates natures better than any other in this climate; and he has been curing dates in an egg incubator with fine success At present he is transferring all the well

WATER ORGANIZATION
Attorneys Not Ready to Report On
 Legal Questions Involved.

The five attorneys engaged by the mutual water companies to examine the Bridgford Act and present opinions on the legal questions involved in the organization of an irrigation district or the formation of company to take the place of the c. D. Go. and the mutuals in the management of canals in Imperial valley are not yet ready to report. They are expected to hold a consultation in El Centro some time next week and to come to an agree ment.
 John M. Eshleman is the only one who has prepared an opinion on the law points in the matter, and he has been ready for some weeks to pre- sent his opinion, in which Mr. Haines concurs. The others have prepared memoranda and confidential discus sions of the various plans of organiza- tion proposed, but have not given the legal basis for such conclusions as they may have reached. Some of them ap- pear to have assumed that they were employed to tell the water-users what to do and to determine the question of organization for the people of I'm perial county, but unless they come to an agreement as to what the law is and what difficulties are to be en- countered in the organization of dis trict or stock company, their work will not go far toward solution of the problem of management of the canal sytsem.

varieties and the Georgia and Texas upland varieties show what this valley can produce under the best conditions
 Fourteen public schools of Imperial county have entered their school work for exhibition, and their displays at tract much attention. They represent school work in all grades, from the primary department to the last year of high school In this display the Brawley High School has added nov city by introducing hive of bees and illustrations of it's practical work in apiary instruction.
 The household exhibit hasIhe usual array of fancy work, baking, preserves, canned fruits and jellies, and is under the auspices of the Women's Federated Clubs of Imperial valley.
 Various business houses are making creditable exhibits in special booths, and the Simons Brick Company has fine display of it's products manu- factured at El Centro.
 At the stock pens, Poland China and Duroc-Jersey hogs make a good show ing; then there are prize goats and sheep, Shetland ponies, colts with their dams, some handsome stallions and jacks. The poultry exhibit, while not extensive, is fine, and includes geese, ducks, turkeys and chickens of several varieties.
 The implement displays are better than any heretofore shown, and the valley implement firms deserve great credit for their enterprise. One of the most notable of these exhibits is that of Edgar Brothers, who have an immense circular tent covering mass of farm and household machinery all run by gasoline engines. Even the baby's cradle is rocked by machinery, and the lady of the house announces that engines work at her house while she "sits around all day" Other inn plement displays are equally meritor- ious and constantly attract the at tention of visitors.
 This year the fair has a Midway" an innovation here. The usual round of refreshment stands, side shows, fakir's stands, etc, make up a street and give a lively air to that sec tion of the grounds.

COTTON CROP NEWS
Reports of Ginners and Shippers for
 the Week and Season.

Up to last Thursday night, 2,5O7 bales of cotton had been ginned by the Imperial Valley Oil and Cotton Company. Three carloads of fifty bales each were shipped this week by MT. Chappell to the mills at Oakland, and two more carloads from Brawley and Holtville are to be shipped as soon as the cars are loaded.
 The price this week has ranged from 1860 to 1875 for higher grades and from 13 to 1850 for poorer grades.
 The J. R. Loftus Company reports a sale of 100 bales of selected cot ton to MT. Kimara, Japanese buyer at higher prices.
 The picking season is about half over, and it may be assumed that al- most half of the crop has been gath cred, although all that has been picked has not been taken to the gins yet. The indications are that the total crop will not exceed 5000 bales and may even fall to 1000 bales. Acreage estimates have been too high.

PLEA FOR LEN|ENCy
Petty's Attorney Circuates Petition
 for Probation of Shooter.

The attorney for Petty, the man who shot stranger in the back and was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon and sentenced to IS months Imprisonment, has been circulating a petition asking Judge Cole to put Petty on probation. The evidence in the case showed that Petty was beat ing and kicking man much smaller than himself and when the stranger, named Wismer, eXpostulated with him, he took from the hands of his wife a revolver that she had brought from the section house and fired two shots at Wismer. Wismer was running away when the second shot hit him in the back and passed through his body. ,Pettys plea was self defense.
 Several citizens have been hard hearted enough to decline to discredit the judgment of the court by signing the petition for leniency.

matured fruit to the Indio station, where it will be cured and placed in boxes for exhibition. A box of this fruit will soon be on exhibition at the Imperial Valley Press office.
 MT. Drummond states that extensive date planting has taken place in the Coachella valley during the present year, and he believes that the industry eventually will grow to one of the large propositions, but he deplores any attempt at the present stage of ex- perimental work to exploit the enter prise on extensive commercial lines.

Bowker First to Move Outfit to Front in Mexico and
 Grading Progresses
Col. ockerson Lets Contracts for Levee by Sections to Three Firms, and Dirt Is Being Moved All Along the Line. Thousands of Men Em- ployed.

Formal notice was given last Fri day by Col Ockerson that the work of grading the railway from Andrade to the Abejos break of the Colorado had been assigned to w. K. Bowker on force account, and on Sunday morn ing Bowker had his outfit at work with 800 head of stock. Col. Ockerson is acting under power of attorney from the Colorado River Land Co.,, Mexi- can corporation holding most of the land on the delta, which ostensibly is doing the work authorized by Presi- dent Taft. The United States is not a party to any contract for work in Mexico, but of course there is "gen- tlemen's agreement" between Uncle Sam and Harry Chandler.
 An official communication from the office of the engineer at Yuma to the Press, under date of Dec. 12, stated that
 "The following awards for levee work have been made by the Colorado River Land Company, s. A.
 "J. A. Maxey, first nine miles, 425,- 900 cubic yards, at from 19c to 221sc.
 "R P. Marable and John Mulligan, Sections s, and 10, about six miles, 336,O00 cubic yards, at 23c.
 "J. C. Norton, Sections II, 12 and 13, at lower end of work, 325,000 cubic yards, at 36c.
 "A portion of the work near the Abejos river crossing, which will be occupied by the railway, and the grad ing required for five miles of track will be done by force account. This work has been assigned to w. K. Bow ker of the c. M. Ranch Company, who already has 300 head of stock equip ment of scrapers, wagons, tools, etc, on the ground.
 "The work has been staked out for some time and actual construction will begin on Monday, December 12
 Both Maxey and Marable & Mulli- gan begin their work on that date and Norton will soon follow.
 "The clearing and grubbing is done by the contractors at rates ranging from $25 to $50 per acre for clearing, and $50 to 800 per acre for grubbing.
 Lumber for the main camp at An drade will reach there on Monday, De- cember 12, and a force of carpenters is already on the ground prepared to rush quarters to completion. An equip ment of five boarding cars with SUD- plies is on the siding at Andrade."
 It is probable that in week or two the wise men at Washington will find out what is going on out here. At last accounts they were solemnly get ting ready to do something about ob- taining MeXico's permission to go to work, and on Monday, after contracts had been awarded and dirt had begun to fly, they were quoted in dispatches as talking about the things that were preventing the beginning of work and about getting bill through the Mexi- can Congress for the remission of du- ties.
 The contractors, except Bowker are making Yuma their headquarters.

As TO SOCIALISM.

Editor OF The Herald Republican:
human nature enjoys approval Even
an editor may be made to rejoice when
MS methods are approved and his labors
endorsed by his critical constituency.
l. and thousands of others, fully en-
yoyed the harmony of your editorial in
deIense OF the Rights OF Socialists"
The Socialists are now too well or
sanlzeds too firmly entrenched TO waive
any OF their constitutional rights TO
please such superficial politicians as
the chief OF police, his superiors, party
or henchmen.
He has more to handle in his legit-
innate work than he has the ability 10
perform wisely, and when he assumes
10 be interpreter or dictator for a more
progressive party than his own, then
ne, and they, must expect a rude awak-
ening.
II this duty is forced upon the So-
cialists, they viii welcome the issue,
as they are equal TO the emergency and
anxious for the fray. l would be very
agreeably surprised TO know that Mr..
Barlow or any member or the park
commission was able 10 give an intel
ligent definition OF Socialism, either in
its political, communal or social as
poets.
Is 1t a fear or suppression? Or is
progression. Christianity. fraternal and
several conditions the disturbing ele-
ments?
] am not yet a Socialist, much less
a bigOt, but l am ready TO endorse a
doctrine that considers man paramount
TO the dollar
Why so many priests and preachers
leaving the church 10 engage in this
more direct method of uplifting hui
manity? Should Mr.. Barlow or any of
