 These plants require plenty of wa ter and care to start them after they are well rooted they have proven very drought resisting. The seeding trees on the Durbrow place here at Indio have been without water for nearly forty months and have matured excel lent fruit during this time.
 While at this time I cannot give an estimate as to the profits of the bearing orchard, yet I do not think it will be many years until we can market fresh dates from the Coachel- la Valley. The distribution of suck CTS from imported trees at the Mecca station, will be about two hundred this spring
 we have several hundred thousand seed of good varieties in stock at this station, which we will be glad at any time to furnish on application to any one in the date area; also we are now distributing seeding date plants. This distribution will close the 3Oth of June, 1910."

JAPAN WANTS OUR COTTON

M. Nagai, Japanese Consul at San Francisco, says the visit to Imperial Valley last fall of the Japanese con- missioners has resulted in the atten- tion of Japanese cotton manufactur- CTS being directed to this valley as a prospective cotton field of great pos abilities.
 The representatives of the cotton mills of the eastern part of Japan held their annual meeting at Osaka in March, and were addressed by MT. Takatsuji, who was a member of the commission, and who directed the at tention of the mill men to the cotton outlook in the Imperial Valley of Cali fornia. He predicted that the Imper-

DESERT DATE CULTURE
Report From Bruce Drummond, Abor- Ieulturist, Is encouraging for Es.
 tsbllshment of this industry.

Bruce Drummond, aboriculturist in charge of the Government date farms at Mecca and Indio has written an interesting article reviewing the movement to establish date growing on commercial scale from which the following points are gleaned.
 Some of the early varieties at the Mecca station have not as yet fully come up to the expectations of the department, which has caused them to go very slow in recommending the varieties to propagate here. During the month of August in 1909, we had several days of very humid weather and on account of the closeness of the Salton sea to the Mecca garden, we had an unusual high percentage of humidity; during this time the early varieties of dates were begin ming to ripen. The first variety to ripen in the garden was the Lagoo with two punches of fruit of the soft type. This variety all fermented as fast as they matured. The Rhars did not ferment as rapidly as the Lagoo, yet the humidity caused the skin to crack and edge up on the fruit so that it was unfit for packing. The Tazizaoot, a very large fine soft date, was next in starting and with the exception of a few that hung very low on the ground, they matur- ed in good condition, as did the Ted dalla. The Hamraya, Tennessin, Ret bet Regal, have all done exceedingly well for the age of the trees, yet we find that the black fruit does not keep as we'll as some other varieties of different color.
 "The Deglet Moor are doing very nicely and I have great hopes of this fruit in this valley after the tree gets old enough to mature it's fruit per- fectly.
 During the year 1909, there were about fifty trees of the seeding date in bearing in this valley, and with one exception, good accounts came from all
 There has been some complaint about the plants not starting readily, and in most cases I have found that the plants were placed too deep in the ground, letting the water and wet soil get into the heart of the plant. This, if it does not kill the plant at

ESHLENANS WALKOVER
Third District Made to Order For I'm. perial county's Candidate For
 Railroad Commissioner.
lsan Francisco Caln

The fight for republican nominations to the railroad commission, which is in fact, the fight for control of that body, has excited as much, genuine interest as has the five cornered scrap for the gubernatorial nomination.
 There is a two handed fight in each of the three districts. Only one of the six candidates is an unknown quantity politically Three of the other five are incumbents of the commission and two have well known political rec ords.
 Theodore Summerfield, commission CT from the third district, has demon strated his claim to the machines sup port. His opponent, John M. Eshle- man of Imperial county, has been in- dorsed by the Lincoln Roosevelt league.
 The third district appears to have been made to measure for Eshleman, the anti-machine candidate. It in- cludes not alone all of Southern Cali fornia, but Alemeda county. Before Eshleman went to Imperial to become that county's distinguished citizen he | lived in Alameda. He was appointed from Alameda to the state labor bur eau under Stafford. He made good there. He was elected to the legis- lature from Alameda county. He made good in the legislature. He was fighter and straight. He was not corporation batter. but he refused to take orders from corporations or their representatives. His health failed. He went to Imperial county on cot in 1907. Tn three years he has forged to the front in his pro- fession and is now recognized as one of the biggest of the big lawyers of Southern California.
 Undoubtedly Eshleman is better known in the district than is the in- cumbent. It is admitted that Eshle- man has a walk over in the far south. The longhairs of Los Angeles are with him and he has a big regular or organization following him there AL ameda county still considers him as it's own, and Summerland is not in tensely popular with the fruit grow CTS of the San Joaquin. On form, the machine stands to lose with Aigel- tinOor in thn conond and C,1n m arb n d in the third districts.

THE CASE AGAINST eALLlNeER

It is now nearly nine months since we began our agitation for Ballinger's s removal Ballinger, however, is the least important factor in the fight, ex- cept that he happens to be in position where he represents the turning point in a controversy between two great ideas of public policy and pub lie morals. When we seem to he fighting Ballinger, we are fighting the proposition to allow the Guggenheim- Morgan syndicate to obtain by fraud control of all the wealth of Alaska and rule that country through one vast monopoly; we are fighting the right of the Attorney General of the United States to give out to the peo- pie of the United States false reports we are fighting the right of the Pres ident of the United States to use the power of his great office to support these false statements. The Ballin- ger case, to our mind, represents the parting of the ways. If Ballinger is forced out, the whole alliance be- tween the predatory interests and the Government will be split wide open If the Standpatters come out victor ious, the alliance between piratical wealth and political government will be closer. There is more involved than the control of Alaska. There is involved the question of who shal rule the people of the United States Golfers Weekly.

ial Valley would produce, in few years, immense crops of fine cotton, and that it would be to the benefit of the mills of Japan to use as much of this cotton as possible. That the con- sumption of California cotton in Ja- pan would lead to the sending of Japanese steamers to the harbors of Los Angeles and San Diego direct, and the establishment of profitable trade relations was MT. Takatsuji's $ prediction.
