MAY ESTABLISH RESORT.

Woodhouse Brothers, who have placed two power launches on Salton Sea for pleasure trips. and who are at present making their Headquarters at Mecca, are seeking to establish a camp at the southerly end of the sea, so as to be nearer the main points Of attraction in that body of water and to be more conveniently located to the larger population of Imperial Val ley. They have in mind the selection of a site at the Cox ranch, near the Estelle siding as camp which may be developed into a resort. The lar gest of their boats is forty feet in length, and they propose to make trips to all parts of the sea, as pat rons may desire.

SALTON SEA ALLIGATORS
Two Are Captures in This Body of Water Within Past Two Weeks.
 -Erskine's Find.

The Sunny South" must look we'll to its laurels. Imperial Valley has become the land of cotton--and Salton Sea has become the home of the gator.
 Within the past two weeks two young alligators have been captured in the Salton Sea. One of these was taken at the Salt Creek Trestle by men in charge of the Government Weather Bureau. The other was cap tured on the 4th of July by D. D. Erskine, of Imperial, who went to the sea on a fishing expedition.
 Mir Erskine brought his capture to El Centro on Tuesday, and exhibited it to a crowd of interested persons in front of the Imperial Valley Press office. It is a fine specimen, about two feet in length and weighing about twelve pounds.
 Young Erskine was on the beach at a point about eight miles northerly from Imperial Junction when he dis covered the young alligator basking in the sun. He carefully spread a fish net in the water below where the reptile lay and then aroused it, and it floundered down into the net, when it was readily captured.
 Stories have been current from time to time of posts or piling that fioated on Salton Sea and then disappeared It may be that these "posts" were large alligators, as the only plausible explanation for the appearance of young gators in this water is that they have been bred there. The story is also current that several years ago a pair of these reptiles escaped from saloon at Yuma, where they were on exhibition. They may have reach ed the Colorado river and thus have found their way through New River to Salton Sea.

MAY SCREEN INTAKES.

Complaint was made to the Board of Supervisors at the meeting held this week that dead fish in the various canals are becoming nuisance to wa ter users. It is probable this trouble was caused by the death of fish while the water was out of the Alamo river during the building of the Rositas dam; but the advisability of placing screens at each intake was discussed by the Board and the County Health Officer and the various water com panies may be requested to take this action.

AUTHORITY IS LIMITED
Commission Not Empowered to Take Charge of Weed Eradication on County Roads, Says Dis.
 triet Attorney.

Recently the Horticultural Com mission of Imperial County began a renewed campaign against noxious weeds, and served notice on every land owner where such noxious weeds were known to exist that the places must be cleared at once.
 As there are various points on the county highways where the same noxious weeds exist, the Horticultural Commission decided that the public highways should be subject to the same treatment, and served notice on the various members of the Board of Supervisors that they should clear the roads in their respective districts or this work would be undertaken by the Horticultural Commission
 This brought forth a discussion as to the authority vested in the commits sion to do work on public roads and the matter was referred to the Dis trict Attorney for an opinion.
 At the meeting of the Board of Supervisors held this week, Acting District Attorney Phil. D. Swing pre- sented an exhaustive written opinion citing legal authorities on various points, and in his conclusion Mr. Swing says:
 Tt is my opinion that authority is not given to the Horticultural Com mission, to exercise their jurisdiction over the public highways, but that it isl by law, made the special duty of the Supervisors to control and super wise such highways, and to provide in their own way for the eradication of weeds thereon"

MORE COUNTY CANDIDATES.

This week the Imperial Valley Press presents to it's readers several more political announcements. J. s. Larew
 an attorney of Fl Centro, announces his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for District Attorney. MT. Larew has been practicing in the I'm perial County Courts for the past year and has created a high regard for himself among attorneys and the peo- pie with whom he has come in con- tact. He will doubtless be a strong factor in the race for this office. Fred
 Fuller announces his candidacy to
 succeed himself in the office of County Assessor, and asks the Democratic nomination. MT. Fuller's wide &C., quaintance in all parts of the valley is much to his advantage, and his canvas will be a lively one. J. F. Tout present Justice of the Peace of Fl Centro Township, is an independent candidate for County Clerk. Judge Tout's varied experience in clerical and official positions gives him certain qualifications for this office which will be carefully considered by the voters of the county. Prof. J. E. Carr ap- pears as candidate for reelection as Superintendent of Schools. Under his administration the schools of Im- perial County have had a notable de- velopment and he has been instru- mental in forming many plans for future progress in educational lines. He asks the Democrats to endorse his candidacy E. E. Forester is the only candidate for Public Adminis- trator: He is the incumbent of this office and indications are excellent that he will succeed himself M. W. ConkdIng asks for the Republican nomination for District Attorney. Probably no attorney in Imperial County has wider acquaintance with the voters. MT. ConklTng is one of the pioneers of this valley. IT. w. Brew CT, of Imperial, Is seeking the Repub- lican nomination. He also is a pio- neer, and has a wide acquaintance in all parts of the valley, and his de- termination to enter the race makes the situation more interesting.

GROWS PERSIAN GRAPES.

Just now on Francis Heiny's acreage tract in the city limits, number of varieties of grapes of different varie- ties are in bearing that promise to solve the problem of what kind will answer requirements for shipment to the eastern markets says the Braw- ley News Of these, a Persian grape, introduced by the explorers of the Department of Agriculture, appears to be far superior to anything yet found. It is of a similar character to Nal aga, with loose punches, a firm skin but with better shipping qualities, sweeter and several weeks earlier. The native home of the grape is on a desert similar to Imperial Valley. Other Persian varieties promise nearly as we'll
 An an example of a remarkable growth a Paykanee Rhajooke grape vine was grafted on March 25, and within three months the new shoots has produced ripe grapes-something totally unbelievable in most grape countries.
 MT. Heiny also has a number of date trees, a Rhais and a DegIet Moor showing some specially fine fruit A three year old Deglet Moor from the seed is also bearing a few dates.
