Imperial county has marvellous soil
and inexhaustible water from the Colo
rado River, but it has a maximum tenn
erature of 118 degrces-and San Diego
is its nearest big market
Fresno county, rich in soil, noted for its
orchards and vineyards, has an inch
rainfall and 10 maximum temperature
Yuba county has transportation, but IS
TWICE as far away from the Bay
Cities as Solano Irrigated Farms
Other counties may be rich IN soil, ia
vored by Nature, close to transporta-
ton or supplied with sufficient water to
produce the biggest crops
but NONE of these counties have
ALL the requisites as Solano has!
Irrigation is absolutely necessary to
bring any of CALIFORNIA; land into the
rich, fertile garden spot that the Solano
Irrigated Farms are being transformed
into. Likewise is close proximity to
a ready cash market essential, and
MORE than one mode of quick, cheap
transportation IF you are even
THINKING of investing in a Land

things-you must weigh each advan-
tage or Disadvantage carefully-you
must remember that fertility of soil
isn't the ONLY thing you've got to

CALDWELL VOTERS TO PICK
TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS

The most important question con-
fronting the voters of Caldwell, and
one which must be settled by them
within the next few weeks, is the
selection of two men to fill the
vacancies in the Borough Council
that will be created by reason of
the expiration of the terms of Cap
tain William H. II. Condit and George
F. Van Wagenen.
The matter has been discussed for
some time past, and number of we'll
known citizens have been mentioned
as possible candidates, and, as near
as can be determined by the ex-
pressed sentiment of those who are
willing to discuss the matter, the
main desire is to secure competent
men, regardless of political af-
filiations.
Among those whose names are
heard around that borough are Will
lam T. Rainey, Charles H. Hoffman,
Walter e. Sigler and Thomas l..
Chapman, jr., all of the Democratic
party while the Republicans have de-
cided to indorse Captain William H.
Fl. Condit, who has served in the
Council since the borough organized,
Brandley.
Frank A. Mccormick. of Kirkwood
place. is being urged by his friends to
hie petition as councilmanic can
didate. Whether or not Mr. McCor-
mick will become a candidate will de-
pend very much upon the sentiment
of the voters.
There will doubtless be a warm time
in Verona on election day, judging
by the preliminaries now in course of
preparation. The Republicans have
decided to put a complete ticket in
the field for all vacancies to be filed.
Charles W. Brewer, who is at present a
councilman, was selected to make the
mayoralty run. and those picked as
councilmanic candidates are Guy
Whitney and George Shepherd. The
only other office to be filed is that of
borough assessor, and William H.
kientz has been named for that Office.
Albion G. Barter was named to sue
coed himself as borough collector.

STORY OF THE STUCK
STORIE SMELLED BADLY

1t had become wedged between the
approach and the centre pier.
Trolley cars piled up one after an
other on either side, when IT was
finally decided to shift all trolley
traffic over the Clay street route. The
boat was finally dislodged and
steamed to the dock at the foot of
New street, Harrison, where the ex-
cursionists disembarked. The acct
dent at the bridge last night was to
some extent a coincidence. In the
morning. when the boat was outward
bound, 1t struck the bridge, taking
with it a portion of the structure
Those on board who some time or
other had been held up at the bridge,
when the machinery refused to work
after the span had been raised,
laughed heartily when they saw the
troublesome bascule "clouted." The
tables were turned last night and
again was exemplified the maxim, 'he
who laughs last, laughs best"
