A telegram from A. S. Prescott re-
ceived by the Parker Board OF
Trade last Sunday, stated that he
would leave Washington Monday for
home having accomplished all that was
possible during this session .of con-
gress in the matter of opening the
reservation lands. He also stated
that Congressman Carl Hayden and
Senator Mark A. Smith would leave
Washington for Arizona the following
day, and that Mr. Hayden would Wis

BOARD OF TRADE MEETING.

That the people of Parker are be-
ginning to take a much greater in
terest in the conduct of their town
was manifested Saturday night, when
a good sized crowd turned out to at
tend the meeting of the Board of
Trade.
The principal business to be trans
acted was to adopt set Of bylaws
to govern the organization. However
the committee reported it was not
ready to submit it's report, and ask
ed for another week, which was grant
ed.
Considerable correspondence from
Washington was read and discussed,
and it was the general opinion that
the matters up for settlement with
the department were beginning to take
on a more favorable aspect.
The operation of the proposed
Carey Act was discussed, as were sew,
eral other matters bearing upon the
reclamation of the Parker valley
An adjournment was taken until
tonight Saturday at which time
the committee on bylaws will sub
nit it's report. 1t is also possible
that the organization will adopt by
laws tonight, so if you are interest
ed you had better be present.
1t is hoped that Mr. Prescott will
be here by Saturday night as many
are eager to hear his personal views
upon the present situation at Wash
ingtOn.

DANGER OF
WATER FAMINE
OF MEXICAN RECEIVER
ENDANGERS IRRIGATION SYS-
TEN OF IMPERIAL VALLEY-
CANALS Sitting UP.

That Imperial faces a serious sit
uation as a result of the action of
/ the Mexican court i'm ordering from
the Mexican soil workmen employed
| in the repair of canals by which the
irrigation water is brought from the
Colorado river, is the declaration of
Col. w. H. Holabird, receiver for the
California Development company
The water is taken from the river
below the border, and a great am
ount of work is required in the up
keep of the canals, removing of the
silt and repairing the structures in
order to insure the flow. This work,
since the company went into hands
of the receivers, has been done on
the Mexican side by Colonel Holabird
with money collected on the Calf
ornia side, as a result of the refusal
of the Mexican receiver, A F. And
rade, to keep the bitches in repair.
Some months ago Andrade demand
ed that the money be turned over to
him and the work done under his di-
rection. Holabird protested that if
he was to do the work he should use
the money collected on the Mexican
side.
On October 2 the Mexican Judge at
Mexicali issued an order which for.
bid Colonel Holabird or his workmen
entering Mexico. Since that time
there has not been any work done,
and the silt is rapidly filling the ca
nails, and some of the fumes need
repair badly. But Colonel Holabird
refuses to turn over money to the
Mexican receiver, is not allowed to
do the work himself, under threat
of arrest, and the Mexican receiver
refuses to do the work without be-
ifornia side.
''The Mexican receiver has no
right to money collected from the
American side," said Receiver HOla-
bird, 'and, except the court order me
to do so, | will never give him one
single dollar or allow him to say any
money"
The present prosperous condition
of the California Development Com
pany was indicated Monday when Re-
ceiver Holabird, in open court ask
ed Judge Conrey for permission to
redeem 100000 worth of receivers
certificates. This was not allowed,
owing to the fact that the decree is
sued by Judge Bordwell, demanding
the sale of the properties of the Cal
ifornia Development Company, is now
en- appeal before the Supreme Court.
The question of "Shall the Calf
ofnia Development Company's prop
critics be sold?'' is still demanding
the attention of the bench and bar.
Saturday a long session was held in
ClldAlpelS NY EA-JuuSe Do! o!uWoA, Ih0
judge who made the decree ordering
the sale Before him appeared prac-
tically all the attorneys interested
in the litigation and presented argu-
ments on the bill Of exceptions. On
his finding the decision of the court
will largely rest as to the motion for
a new trial.

PUSHING LINE
ENGINEERS UNDER DIRECTION
OF j. DENAlR RAPIDLY NEAR
ING BLYTHE WITH LINE FROM
SANTA F'E.

BLYTHE, Calf, Oct 3O.-With
the approach of the party of
surveyors laying out line between
Blythe and Blythe Junction on the
Santa Fee, the outlook for a railroad
into the valley is every day becom-
ing brighter.
the party has been going over the
various passes through the summit
between here and Browns well and
the engineers know by this time just
which will be most feasible.
Mr. Denair, promoter of the new
railroad, has been with the party the
party the greater part of the time per-
-sonally directing the work.
While in Blythe last Saturday Mr..
Denalr stated that so far as he was
CONCERNED the road would be built
into the valley either from Blythe Jc.
or Glamis, the river route having, for
the present at least, been abandoned.
He made the statement that as soon
as the surveys were finished and
an approximate estimate of the cost
of the work could be made, he would
be ready to present the people of the
valley with a stock proposition and
he is confident that he will have no
difficulty in getting the work of ac-
tual construction started at an early
date.
The survey between Blythe juno
tion and the summit disclosed the
fact that the construction for that
part Of the line would be less costly
than previously estimated, according
