rxreNp,Nc IRRIGATED AREA

IL With the Improvements to the
Ash and Alamitos laterals, the plans
for new canals to reach Bernice in the
north and the work being done IN
water district No. II, in the west,
there is in progress today in Imperial
valley a steady extension of the lrrl-
gated area which will probably add to
the valley this winter 10000 acres or
more of cultivated territory. In other
words, a Redlands or Riverside IN
area will be annexed to Imperial val
ley this season, and yet no loud dem
onstration is made in this great work,
The growth of Imperial valley goes
on almost day and night and with
such regularity that it is only when
one pauses to make comparisons that
he realizes what is being done IL the
long course of events.
With this development of the
farms comes the marvellous rise OF
the towns, which are taking on city
institutions and ideals very rapidly,
while new towns like Westmoreland,
Alamorio and Seeley are coming in
to being and still others, like Dixie
and Bernice are projected.
We have come to the time when
the names of thirteen towns must
appear on the map of Imperial val
ley, with ample room for each, and
to these still others must in time
be added.
This in itself is something of an
indication of the magnitude of I'M
perial valley.
There seems in some quarters t.
be an idea that this valley is lying
dormant, simply because there is no
single interest large enough to speno
large sums in advertising the valley
If there was more disposition on tn
part of the people to make a demon
stration over their accomplishments,
there might be vastly greater prog
ress, and the outside world would
have a more definite idea of what is
really being done here, but still the
new progress is such tha' it is be-
ginning to challenge wide attention,
and the boom that is coming on and
manifesting itself more and more each
day is a direct result of the steady up
building of the industries OF the valley
and their gradual extension of new
territory.
Imperial valley grows, in area, in
substantially and in the spirit, the
confidence and the will of the peo-
pie; grows every day toward its high
destiny as the greatest irrigated re-
gion in America

According to these officials the books of the bank were examined on October '. when it was discovered that there was a leak age.

MERGER COMMITTEE HAS NOT ADJUORNED
More Than Three-Fourths of the Securities Are
 Assured

Baltimore, November 13.-(Special.)- .)-The meeting at which the merger of the Southern Iron and Steel company and the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company was to have been ratified in due form last Friday in New York was said to have been indefinitely postponed. The following information. however, was given out today by a member of the committee engaged in bringing together the securi- ties:
 "The report that the merger commit tee had adjourned indefinitely has created a wrong impression and Is incorrect The committee was only adjourned subject to the call of the chairman, as has been it's custom. Of the Southern Iron Steel securities, there are now pledged to be deposited about S5.oeo,oo0 of their first mortgage bonds out of a total of S7S25,ooo Sl, ,0o0O00 of their debentures out of to- tai of laO0, ,r5J, zoo 600 of preferred stock out of a total of $5, 900. and s6.2500Oo oi common out of a total of S9.50o0o of the Alabama securities more than three fourths are deposited or assured.
 The postponement of the meeting was due to the lack of quorum of the merger and reorganization committee, which has the ratifying to do. It is stated that as the committee has obtained from 60 to ,t per cent of the securities of the two com panies, nothing can prevent the merger from going through eventually. and it Is nearly six months since the consumma- ton of this consolidation was stated to be a matter Of but a few daws or weeks. It is now stated that some of the foreign interests concerned have become or were somewhat dissatisfied.

stockade About Ready

It was announced yesterday that the s25, 900 stockade of the Pratt Consolidated Caal company. which is now being erected near Flat Creek, was almost completed. The convicts from Banner mine will be removed to the new stockade slowly as the state will not take over the leased Ban ner mine until January 1. The decision to await the new year before taking over Banner was caused on account of the states inability to supply the men for the various contracting companies at an earlier date. The stockade erected by the Pratt company to serve instead of Ban her is said to be the most modern con- vict barracks in the district. Every fa- cilty, is is said, has been installed to render the place sanitary and health full.

SAYS DISQUE TEAM
 HAS BEEN DISBANDED
Former Manager Regrets That Bir- mingham High School Was
 Not Notified

Sporting Editor of The Age-Herald:
 My Dear Sir--In your issue of Sunday I noticed an article wherein I was blamed for the failure of the Disque High school football team to show up for game with the Birmingham High school team Saturday.
 wish to state that I severed my con nection with the Disque team. or to be correct, the Etowah Disque team. Cpout 10 days prior to the Birmingham High school game, and have had no connection with the organization since that time.
 As to my failure to answer telegraphic and telephone messages, the manager or the Western Union office here states that no message or messages have been re- ceiyed at this office addressed to me, and I can personally state that l have received no telephone calls.
 In justice to the Etowah Disque team it may be stated that they disbanded at the time I withdrew and the cancel Iation of the Birmingham game was nn- doubtedly overlooked, a fact which am sure they deplore. Kindly give this letter the same prominence accorded the article in question. Trusting that this letter will explain my position in the mat ter, I am, yours truly,

Washington, November 1S-(Special-)- At Pittsburg the President of the United States declared that the Sherman anti trust law, if rigidly and impartiaily en- forced. is a cure for the monopolistlc HIS of which the country has complained so vociferously. and which have kept ousi- ness in hot water and politics In tuniuil ever since the octopus chase flrst began a long time ago. With MT Taft on that occasion was Martin w. Littleton, dem ocrat. who has very little faith In the Sherman law. He thinks the thing does harm at the breech as well as at the muzzIe. and where it disciplines one ..malefactor of great wealth" 1t eripples others who are engaged in legitimate en- terprise and are altogether innocent and deserving.
 MT Littleton Is one of the great lawyers of his time. As forensic orator he IS the first in either branch of Congress, with a. wealth, felicity and strength of dictlon almost equal to the late Matt Carpenter S.. Here is a declaration of his that chal- lenges everybody and must give all pause:
 "Any new policy must have inherent in if the central idea that competition IS the final law of all life; but that 1t IS growth. just as cooperation is a growth. that it is the law of trade and barter. hut not the law of statutes. That no government ever had roots so deep or standards so high as to enable 1t to en- force compulsory competition any more than the mightiest man is able to make the right hand an earnest competitor of the left It win always exist in one form or another, but 1t cannot be legiSlated into commerce any more than co-opera- tion can be legislated into commerce It is not competition which we seek 10 main- tain, but the unhindered right to compete with others.
 All of us common folks have been won dering how you are going to dissolve "a trust separate it's constituent elements and make them compete with each other. Taft seems to think it cap be done. La Folette breaches that it is easy; so does Bryan; 90 does Hearst so does John Temple Graves; so does Roosevelt; and all the others; but Litteton in the fore going puts the thing in a way that makes the ordinary octopus chaser hesitate.
 One may settle 1t to his mind by an ap- peal to Shakespeare-"Mercha of Ven ice":
 Nerissa-They would be better if well followed
 Portia--If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches and poor mems cottages princes palaces.
 That Is to say, we all know the octopus must be chased. but how? And agair and again. how?
 The head of the Steel trust, under oath told the stanley committee that compe <itfon in the steel business is archaic md there are philosophers who will show YOU that as long as competition appear in trade somebody is selling too high for unless that be the case competition cannot exist. There is much to appeal t those who clamor for competition in tha view of the case.
