Once Blistering Waste Of Sand and Salt
Now Dotted With Farms of Twenty Thousand
HOW THE IMPERIAL VALLEY,
THE BED OF AN ANCIENT
SEA, Is BEING TRANSFORM
ED FROM A DESERT INTO
ANOTHER NILE VALLEY.

Ell CENTRIC. Cal, June 10
It used to be called the Salton
Sink, a vast tract of sand, lying
under clustering SUM place
where the natives said a jackrab-
bit had to carry a grub sack and
canteen when he went on trip.
Today it's called the Nile OF
America. The place is the Imper-
ial valley. It's towns and lands
are from to 200 feet below sea
level. Long centuries ago scien-
lists say It was either a huge in
land sea or part of the Gulf of
Lower California.
Water OF the wild Colorado
river and the indomitab1e will OF
the white man has turned this
waste of sand into a place which
some day will be a paradise. Even
now great ranches are scattered
over It. The crops grown upon
the watered sands are many and
varied-from cattle to dates. And
all are successful.
The Imperial valley contains
about 100000 acres of tillable
land. Over half of that is under
cultivation, and as fast as the
bitches can be run through and
engineering difficulties are over
come the rest OF 1t will be put
under cultivation.
The people of Imperial valley
are entirely different from the
wild, hard drinking, gun fighting
gambling type of the frontier days
of the old west. The little ball
does not click on the roulette
wheel, as in most new countries;
there are no shooting scrapes and
all night revels in the border sa-
looms as in the old days.
For the Imperial valley is dry.
There isn't saloon In It. The
people are home-builders.
The climate Is like the inside
of furnace 1t reaches 100 in
the shade during summer, but no
one dies of heat, because the air
is dry. 1t cracks the lips of the
newcomer but it Is invigorating
rather than Oppressive. :.

Laying up one stone in the

Commercial club and Chamber of
Commerce last night had a big
time.

announced that the street railway
company will give $4,000 Of the

HERE'S THE FREAK
SALOON ORDINANCE,
DOESN'T LOOK VERY BAD III, WHEN COME To

AGo-sCRAPING

No pool, billiard, bagatelle OF
tables for games in saloons.
No saloon may keep open Sun
day or after midnight.
Licenses may be revoked by the
council on hearing for cause
Conviction of violation of any city
or state law will act as a forfeit
ure of the license without action
by the council.
This in brief is the whole or
dinance.
The new points in it are mid
night closing and the limitation
of the right to serve liquors to the
saloon proper instead of allowing
the liquor to be carried all over
the building as heretofore, and
the forfeiture of the license by
conviction in court.
All the rest of the provisions
are the law now.
The present city law, however
Is faulty in construction. The
new one is to straighten out Legal
technicalities and embody some oil
the state laws in the city ordi
nance. This will enable all prose
cutions to be under the city law
and will give the city the fines
instead of the county as hereto
fore.

The opening battle in the reci-
procity fight was scheduled to be-
gin in the senate at 2 o'clock this
afternoon when four separate re-
ports on the bill were expected to
be presented by the finance COM
mittee. Chairman Penrose Is
ready to present the majority re-
port, referring the bill as passed
by the house, with Root amend
ment, without recommendation.
The minority reports were pre-
pared by LaFollette, McCumber
and Williams. LaFollette's re-
rort declares that the measure is
discriminatory in favor of the
manufacturer and unfair to the
farmers. McCumber's report
separately denounces the measure.
Williams report represented the
democratic view and included OPP
position to the Root amendment.

by the house.
