WORK ON CANAL IS
PROCEEDING SATISFACTORILY

Chester Allison. chief engineer for
Receiver Holabird OF the California
Development Company returned this
morning from Los Angeles, and has
asked the Press to state for Colonel
Holabird that the work below the line
on the canal system is continuing reg
ularly, and the receiver intends to con-
tinue the work.
This statement is made authoritat-
lively because the impression seems to
have got abroad that there may be
some interruption to the delivery of
water 10 certain parts of the valley,
and it is not anticipated that there viii
be any such interruption.
In one place the Mexican company
has been placed in charge by the
courts of that country, and a fence
has been constructed to protect the
works, but the receiver is building
around the fence.
Inquiry made by the Press through
out the valley develops the fact that
water authorities generally take the
position that they will recognize
whichever company is in control of
the works and is in a position to de-
! liver water. Up to the present that
appears still to be the receiver, but
! should the Mexican company acquire
possession athat company would be
dealt with, and there is not the Slight
est reason to doubt that one Of the
two companies will stand ready tc
! furnish water.
The attitude OF the farmers is one
of Indifference to the controversy, il
not being their contention and the
contention in no way affecting then
! interests,

WORK OF COMMITTEE
ON PROXIES ADVANCES

The committee which is at work on
proxies to head off the policy of con-
tinuous litigation for Water Com
pany No 1 reports that considerable
progress is being made, and the COM
mittee is hopeful that a board of di-
rectors will be elected which will call
off the wasteful suits which are now
pending and which the present board
is determined to carry to the supreme
court of the United States, having thus
far been beaten in the state supreme
court.
AS the fact becomes plain that the
farmers must bear the expense of both
sides of the litigation and it cannot
possibly arrive at any result, the leg
islature having validated the district
regardless of the legal technicalities,
there is more disposition on the part
of the stockholders to get together
on a policy of progress rather than
encourage obstruction.
of No. 1 have been taxed $4,000 or
j more to carry on one side of the liti-
cation, and now that it is proposed
| to carry the scene of litigation to
Washington, it can be expected that
the expense will be very much hea-
vier.
! At the same time the county has
been put to the expense of defend
: ing the district, and now that expense
must devolve on the tax payers in
/ the district, and if the litigation pro-
: ceedS for another year it is not i'm
probable that the cost for year will
run to several times the ten thou
j sand dollars spent in law suits dur
ing the last year
/ The proxy committee is anxious to
get the support OF the greatst number
of votes possible for the annual meet
ing to be held February Is, that the
/ policy of wasteful litigation can be
summarily stopped, but against the
! committee there is arrayed a number
of the largest speculative interests
in the valley, which have heretofore
proven the dominating power in the
annual meetings, and their overthrow
by the farmers Of the valley having
moderate holdings will not be a task
easily performed

Every angle of the Mcnamara af

grain this expense cut a big slice out
of the profits, even at the high prices
prevailing for butter fat. Now that
expense is ended, and the green feed
will increase the output of butter fat
and the gain to the dairymen will be
two fold.
There is no reason to expect drop
in the price of butter fat, however,
for the feed conditions on the coast
are the worst known for years, and
high prices can be expected to con-
tinue for months.
This means that the dairymen will
this year get great returns from their
business, and money ought to become
very free with them.
The same condition of affairs will
prevail with regard to the growers of
grain and alfalfa, for the high price
prevailing for hay makes it certain
that there will be heavy sales of the
early crops at least, and a good many
thousand dollars should come to the
valley as a result
There are indications that the al
falfa and grain growers will sell more
closely during the coming spring
months than usual, with the inten-
ton of making good by growing an
unusual quantity of corn during the
summer months
The fact is recognized everywhere
that this is the year when Imperial
valley needs grow the greatest pos
sible tonnage fstock feed, having an
unlimited market for everything in
this line that can be grown with the
crops on the coast in their present
condition. And everything that can be
grown will be turned into cash very
| readily.

perform a certain job. 1t is for his
party, his country, to decide. If they

STRIKES IN AUSTRALIA

BRISBANE (Australia) Jan. 80
Fourteen thousand men in all trades
struck today in sympathy with street
railway employees who walked out
when the company refused permission
to wear union labels on their uni
forms. The company has refused at
tempts at arbitration. The bakers re-
mained at work, but other trades are
paralyzed.

Selection of Seed

1t looks as though the Cotton Grow
ers' Exchange was going to perform
a good work this year in the careful
selection of seed for planting. Hereto
fore there is no doubt that many fields
have failed to give good yield because
of lack of discrimination in the seed
bought for planting. A cotton seed
expert, w. S. Walcott, may be en-
gagged to work with the exchange.
