RAILS LAID TO NEW RIVER
San Diego & Arizona Extension West erly from Fl Centro Now Reaches
 Seeley, on Rivers Brink.

Rails are now laid from Fl Centro to Seeley, on the banks of New River, nine miles to the west of this city, on the valley section of the San Diego & Arizona Railroad The crews are busy surfacing the road and placing the piling for the permanent bridges across the various canals and water ways.
 It is probable that the regular freight service will not be installed until the piledriver has completed it's work, as it is found that such ser vice would to seriously interfere with the work of the crew on the pile driver; but occasional loads of freight will be carried out to accommodate the settlers and those establishing the new townsite of Mobile.
 By the latter part of July the road will be in good condition and a regu- lar train service will be inaugurated soon thereafter by the Holton Inter- urban Railroad, which is to operate the line until the San Diego end of the through line is completed to this valley

LARGE COTTON CROP VALLEYS PROSPECT Properly Planted Fields Found to Be in Excellent
 Condition.
Of Sixteen Thousand Acres Planted, at Least Two-Thirds Show Good Stands and Should Produce Average Bale to the Acre. Some Promise Much Better.

According to those who have in spected cotton fields in the valley re- gently, the prospects for good crop are very encouraging, and if there are any failures they will be due to poor cultivation as rule.
 There is one field that looks hope less because the planter has allowed the weeds to take possession and is too indolent to clean them out A few patches of poor soil were planted with cotton because nothing else could be grown upon them, and of course these will be total failures. One en- thusiast planted much larger area than he could handle and cid not get a good stand, and now he is sure that cotton is no good in the valley.
 But the fields that were planted right and well cared for are in perfect condition and give promise of bumper crops. Loftus has a magnificent stand at Meloland, Fred Fuller's field is in perfect condition, George Carter has splendid field, and Butram, who produced fifteen bales on ten acres last year, says he expects to do bet ter this year.
 The total planting in the valley runs up close to 16,O00 acres, and it is pro- bable that two- thirds will be cared for and will yield at least. a bale to the. acre on an average. The poor stands almost without exception, are blameable upon the planters. Some planted too deep and some irrigated at the wrong time. They know where they made their mistakes, and they will do better next time.
 It is safe to forecast the valley crop at from 10000 to 12,OOO bales. It ought to be from 15,OOO to 10000, but an allowance of 5000 acres to weeds, neglect and bad planting is made by cautious investigators.

C. M. RANCH INTERESTS
Manager Bowker Clearly Explains Po- sition of the Cattle Company on
 Water Question.

Concerning the false assertion that the California Mexico Land and Cat tie Co.,, has bought or is making any deal to become the.owner of the prop erty of the irrigation companies, Man ager w. K. Bowker says:
 The C.-M. Co.,, would not take over the c. D. or Sociedad Companies un- der any circumstances. There have been no negotiations whatever be- tween the two companies. We are not in the water business and have no ambition in that direction.
 As far as this talk about our trying to save large bodies of inundated land south of the line is concerned, the ranch has always been under water a portion of each year or during the high water period and this condition is just what has enabled us to take care of the cattle on our range. Were it not for these overflows, our cattle would have starved to death long ago. The levee built right after the last closure of the Colorado river and the one recently constructed have made the north end of our ranch entirely dry. A levee paralelling the Colorado river such as is required, would put us out of the cattle business alto gether as far as range lands are con cerned. These annual overflows have been the salvation of our cattle busi- ness.
 We have given these rights of way for the levees, and are still willing to contribute more land for the same purpose. We are also willing to sac rifce our range cattle business for the preservation of the water system and the land of Imperial Valley. We do not pretend to be doing this from a philanthropic standpoint. Selfish mo- tives alone are inducements enough, because our interests will all be on a stable basis if the river is under con trol All interests both sides of the line are identical Anything that will

Fl Centro's Main Street To Be Brilliantly Illuminated
 In Few Weeks.
Arcade in Front of the Holt Build ines a Great Improvement In Ap- pearance of Bushes Part of the County Seat and Promoter of Pub lie Comfort.

This week has brought about the enclosing of the entire stretch of ar- cades along the Holt buildings, from Fifth street to Sixth street on the south side of Main street and sections turning the corners at Fifth and Sixth streets. The work has not proceeded as rapidly as desired because of the shortage of help.
 The prospect is now good that the arcades will be completed and the electric lighting scheme will be in readiness for the first illuminations by the middle of July. Wiring for the lights is now in progress and the pressed steel ceilings are being placed.
 Nearly all of the reinforced concrete pillars have been placed along Main street, and they greatly add to the effect of the arcades. Seventy of these pillars are in use. The section surrounding the offices of the HolJon Power Company is practically con- pleted, showing what the effect will be on the entire adjoining block.
 The Holton Power Company and the merchants of the block this week signed contracts for the lighting. Twenty-four ceiling lights are to be placed-one for each twenty-five feet of frontage. These are to burn from dark until 10 o'clock each night, and after that all but six are to be turned off. The six remaining will be burned until daylight. Along the cornice out side the arcades, lights are to be placed every seven feet These are to be maintained by the Holton Power Company, and will be turned on each Saturday night and at times of cele- brations, etc.
 It is probable a similar scheme will be taken up for the illumination of arcades on the opposite side of Main street. The new arcades of the Hotel Oregon have been wired for electric lights on all three floors Fl Centro by early fall will be one of the most brilliantly illuminated cities of South ern California

TROUBLE WITH sP1ECWAY.

The spillway at the Rositas dam was washed out on Wednesday, caus- ing shortage of water temporarily in the ditches receiving their supply from the Rositas. A force of men was set to work on the repairs at once and it is believed that the damage done will be overcome by today. The Holton Power Company prepared it's power plant at El Centro for use dur ing this emergency, but enough water was held in the power companys ca- nal to provide power without resorting to the use of the emergency plant.

"GETTING TOGETHER"
Directors of Water Companies Talk
 Much and Accomplish Little.

Directors of all the mutual water companies met in the Opera House at Fl Centro last Saturday to hear the report of the Commission of Nine, appointed by the presidents and to consider further action concerning the water situation.
 The meeting was called to order by MT. R. E. Wills, and MT. G. P. Blair was elected chairman, MT. Blair said the future of the valley never looked so bright, and he urged the directors to forget minor differences of opinion and get together and do nothing to dim the brightness of the outlook.
 A full report of the work of the Commission. of Nine was read. The commission recommended that 1t be given authority to employ attorneys

it before the House under suspension of the rules and it went through there with similar celerity.
 Both Senator Flint and Congress- man Smith were the happiest men in Washington, and they seemed scarcely able to realize that they had succeed ed. It was an achievement that came as surprise even to the veterans among the lawmakers.
 Gen. Otis had telegraphed to the President, Senator Flint, Speaker Cannon and Gov Gillett, and the Gov ernor, the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, San Diego Chamber of Commerce and many citizens of Southern California had sent urgent messages in support of the measure
 What Needs to Be Done.
 million dollars probably will be sufficient to pay for the work neces- sary to return the Colorado to it's old channel and hold it there The river leaves the old channel by way of the Abejos about five miles below the end of the levee built by the Southern Pa cific in 1907. It will be necessary to continue that levee down the west bank to the break, close the break with rock dumped from a trestle, and then extend the levee south about fifteen miles to high ground below the Pescador This piece of high ground extends about five miles farther south and will prevent the river from over flowing beyond the levee into the Pescador. Any meandering of the river below that point can do no damage
 Roughly estimated, from twenty to twenty-five miles of levee will have to be built at a cost, including rail- road track of about $30,00O mile if no unforeseen difficulties of con- struction, such as abnormal flash rise of the Gila at critical time, inter- vene. It may not be necessary to do any work on the east bank, as the river skirts the foot of high gravel mesa in it's lower reaches, but the engineers may deem it expedient to strengthen and extend the levee on the Arizona side built by the Recla- nation Service and possibly to con meet that levee with the mesa in Sonora
 - It is to be presumed that the work will be done under the supervision of engineers of the War Department, the Colorado being classed as a navigable stream and under that departments jurisdiction. There is one engineer pre- eminently qualified to command in the fight with the river, and that is the man who closed the break in 1907 when the "big fellows" of the profession declared it impossible-C. K. Clarke. If Clarke should be placed in command on the firing line, with government engineers as a consulting body, Imperial Valley people would know that the work would be done quickly, economically and effectively

to examine the Bridgford Act and give opinions as to the advisability of organizing an irrigation district It also advised the employment of engi- neer F. c. Scobey to collect data and maps relating to the water situation.
 Attorney F. P. Willard told the meeting that he knew all about the irrigation laws and that while he con- sidered the Bridgford Act the best ever passed, it would be impossible to organize under 1t until patents to land in the valley should be issued. All assessments would have to be on land and bonds could be issued only upon land security and until title should pass from the government no lien could be placed upon the land. There was no use considering plan that was foredoomed to failure. It might be possible for the mutual con- panies to organize, but not under the Bridgford Act.
 The directors finally authorized the Commission to employ attorneys to investigate the matter and give opin- ions on the applicability of the Bridg- ford Act or any other law that may be found to fit the situation.
 Not much else was done, chiefly because some of the directors of Num- Der One were disgruntled and would not agree to anything unless they could control the whole works. Every body forgot that the commission was created to represent and act for all interests in the valley and was not merely committee of the water com- panies, and Number One demanded representation on the commission in proportion to water stock issued. The meeting placated the malcontents by increasing the commission to eleven and allowing Number One to name the two new members and to fill the place of one that had resigned.
 A long discussion of the proposition to advance water rentals to the re- ceiver to help clean out the intake followed, but Districts One and Five would not consent to anything of the sort, and the subject was referred to the presidents without instructions. The meaning of that action is that the court and the receiver will have to find the money for dredging the intake without any assistance from the water companies.
 The directors of Water Company No. 1, met on Tuesday and appointed three of themselves as members of the Commission. Webster, Berger and Reid are the new members, and the commission is no longer "unsatis- factory to the people,"

HOLAB|RD'S STATEMENT /.
Plain Facts Relating to River Condi-
 tions aand Howe's Conspiracy"

Col. w. H. Holabird, receiver of the California Development Company. made statement to the Los Angeles Times last week regarding the situa- tion on the Colorado river.
 His statement set forth the plain conditions and dangers. He also dis posed of vicious and foolish news paper canard regarding an alleged conspiracy on the part of the Califor- nia Mexico Land and Cattle Company to manufacture drought, to the end of accomplishing the purchase of the California Development Company.
 Col. Holabird said:
 q am the cause of the present agi- tation regarding the water supply in Imperial Valley.
 T deemed 1t wise and proper to tell the Imperial water companies that the grade of the river was such as to cause the securing of the channel to dangerous depth, and the time to build the levee was between now and next spring. t
 q also told the water companies that the intake canal at our heading needed prompt dredging, and that needed at least $25,00e to do this work :.
 q have ordered a dredge machine which will be in action the first week in July, and confidently expect to clean out the intake canal before the beginning of the low water season, unless the floor of the river becomes so low that the surface of the water is lower than our heading.
 "At present the floor of the river Is eight feet lower than the sill of. our heading. When the heading was built the sill was several feet below the floor of the river, showing the need of prompt action in turning the river, to it's old channel. ... .,.
 "As to the charges brought by a local newspaper in the valley, that the Heading and the Mexican company had been sold to the California Mexico Land and Cattle Company, or to any one else for that matter, it's false, and a more malicious lie could hardly have been invented than the story told by the Standard.
 "As receiver, l voted the stock of the Mexican company at the recent annual election. That corporation could not be sold without my knowl- edge, and to my knowledge it never has been sold. As to the Heading, a fool should know better"
 Col Holabird then added:
 ''I am expecting the court will sus- tain me in the purchase of dredger, as felt it to be dangerous to delay until the court ordered.
 "As to delivery of water, have de- livered more water with less friction than ever before in the history of the company, excepting a short period last spring, when the low river channel and a sand bar interferred with our intake
 q expect to send surveying party out at once to survey the needed levee and closing of the Bee river. If the people will aid the receiver by concert  of action they will not depreclate the value of their lands and they will have all the water they need for this years crop"
 Col, Holabird vigorously asserted that the Southern Pacific Company has made no attempt to dictate to him as receiver in any way. He alone is in control, subject to the courts order.

Excellent Garden Compost.

for garden crops is compost made Of
two parts stable manure, one part hen
manure and one part hardwood ashes.
usually place the compost heap as
near the spot to be fertilized as pos
sible. SO that the work OF distribution
can be done at odd times when other
work is not pressing. says n writer in
Baltimore American. For cabbage in
our section no fertilizer equals this.
and root crops are equally as good
when the compost is well mixed with
the soil. The work Of composing can
be commenced at any time. but the
more thoroughly It is mixed the soon.
er it will become ready to apply to
the spot where IL is needed.
