Let the s. P. Agent Tell You

About the various routes, trains, etc., and the attractive reduced fare excursions to many Eastern points. If you contemplate an Eastern trip-either one way or round trip-it will be to your ad- vantage to talk it over with a Southern Pacific agent.
 With the four routes over which it is possible for a trip to be made, and the superior service via all of them, you surely will find somesome one of them just the one for your trip.
 You may prefer to go via San Francisco and Ogden, passing over the high Sierras and Great Salt Lake, or north through Portland over the scenic Shasta Route.
 Another way is via El Paso and the Rock Island line-and still an- other through New Orleans over the Sunset Route.
 Through sleepers from Los An geles to Eastern points are run via all these different routes (except Portland.) and each has its own attractive features. If there is an s. P. Agent in your home town he will be glad to give you full in- formation about

Editor Imperial Valley Press:

Editor Imperial Valley Press:
 am in favor of calling a meeting of the stockholders of Imperial Wa ter Company No 1 at once to change our policy as follows:
 First: So as to discontinue assess ing our stock twice year and make the water charge sufficient to meet all expenses of our company.
 Second. So as to allow each share holder the full four acre feet per share without compelling the use of 1t on one particular acre.
 In favor of such change we would register land and shares as follows:
 Two hundred and thirty acres of land with 219 shares, of water stock. E E. Forester.
 One hundred and sixty acres of land with twenty eight shares of water stock. Emalinda Forester.
 One hundred and sixty acres of land with forty shares of water stock. Je- rome l.. Forester
 One hundred and sixty acres of land with thirty-iive shares of water stock. George W. Forester.
 One hundred and sixty acres of land with five shares of water stock. Ev- erett Forester.
 This plan looks favorable, as there are many people who cannot buy stock but who could buy water and raise a crop. have talked with a good many people who are fully in favor of this change, whether they aad water stock or not; and do not

A Curious Occ~sslonal Broken Func-
ton OF The Mind.
(From the Scientific American.)

IL is scarcely open to quest m that
all education should be individual.
but unfortunately this requirement
cannot be met In our crowded
schools. The state Is compelled to
require definite amount OF know
ledge from all engaged In the same
course. The difficulties to which this
may give rise are illustrated by the
following stories of pupils who. de-
spite earnest endeavor. could never
learn to write correctly or to read
f1uentiy. or to pass the examinations
provided for the lowest classes.
although some of them are able to
accomplish important scientific work.
A perfectly healthy 15-year-old
gr'. one Of the best pupils OF the
highest class OF German school.
could not spell correctly either Ger
man or foreign words. either from
dictation or from memory. She could
write idngle characters perfectly
she could also read q single series Of
musical notes and play the violin by
note but shc could not read piano
music. The dificulty was that she
was unable TO impress the picture Of
the word In her memory. BY the en-
pIoyment Of q great number Of aids
10 memory the succeedd In making
much progress. but she continued to
make the most incredible errors In
writing. which sharply contrasted
with tho general excellence Of her
work at school. She could not read
nuently because the image Of the
word was not present to her memory.
The girls grandmother. a highly
educated woman. her great-uncle
and = SON OF the latter exhibited the
same defects. Each OF the men wrote
number OF scentifsc works. but the
apsilins had to be corrected by
others.
In this case. therefore. this same
defect. which the English call "word
bI'ndnsss." appeared In four men,
bers OF one family. Az we know that
the brain contains q special center
for the memory Of words. we must
conclude that tire entire absence of
this elementary faculty In persons
otherwise Of food mental equipment
must be caused by a defect In this
small part OF tn brain. A. such per-
sons cannot satisfy the requirements
esactsd In the lowest classes. They

STOCK PRICES DOWN.
Aggressive Operations Had Violent
Effects.

New York, Feb. 3.-The onslaughts
Of an aggressive bear party, together
with gathering distrust of the indus
trail, business and political outlook,
brought about violent declines on the
New York stock exchange today
with United States Steel heading the
downward movement. In all sales
totaled 1.672,000 shares with a fourth
of this aggregate in steel shares,
which early in the afternoon broke
to 7S, the lowest level reached since
September last. The price today re-
presented break Of 80 points
from yesterday Of 13 IA Of January
3. when the high record of this year
was touched, and II 1-S from the
price Of October 2.
Chief interest centered in the de-
cline of steel, but there was violent
lilu'dation of nearly every stock in
the list, carrying prices downward
from 6 to points, with sensational
breaks between sales.

At the low point, which came early
in the final hour, declines ran all the

day to be regarded as a probable
