Muscogee friends Of Senator b. :.
Miller. of the Twenty fourth District,
are putting forth strenuous efforts 10
get ChattahOoChee County to waive
her right to furnish the State Senat r
70, 1914, in order that Mr.. Miller may
succeed himself in the Senate, and
thereby keep his place in line for the
Presidency Of the same.
Under the present rotation system
among the counties composing he
Twenty fourth District, it is Chatta-
hoochee County's time to furnish the
State Senator. Muscogee Marion and
ChattahooChee compose the district,
and Muscogee names a Senator the
same number of times as both of the
other counties, but with an interval
between.
Muscogee is now furnishing the
Senator and ii is confidently believed
that if Chattahoochee would waive
her right to name the next Senator,
and allow Muscogee to re-eleCt Mr..
Miller, that he could succeed to the
Presidency of that body in the event
Mr. Anderson runs for Governor.
Chattahoochee would lose nothing
by waving her right. as she would
eventually have the Senator the same
number of times.
On the other hand, there would be
an opportunity for the entire district
to be honored by having i'r. Miller
elected President of the Senate.
OF course. this talk is from the
viewpoint of the Twenty fourth Dis
trict, and is based upon the contin-
genCy Of President Anderson not be-
ing a member Of the next Senate.
IF Mr.. Anderson does not run COR
Governor, however, he likely will be
returned to the Senate, and in that
event will be a candidate to succeed
himself II is not thought that Mill

What a COloradan
Thinks of Valley

w. c. Lamb, a prominent rancher
of Fort Collins. Colorado. Is spending
the winter in Imperial valley. A let
ter which Mr.. Collins has written to
his home paper. the For, Collins COur-
Ter, regarding the Imperial valley, is
reproduced below:
"El Centre. Cal. bee. ~. 1919

for the present at Fl Centre, Cal, on
the 10Th. Everything looks flourish

ears are on the market, cattle by the
thousands are wading in alfalfa knee

of acres of this wonderful Imperial
valley has come under cultivation dur
ing the past eight years and has
produced wonderful crops and still
doing it. 1t has never had a pillow
stuck in it. Now you will say | am
prevaricating, but listen. Eight years
ago this whole country was a barren
desert with the exception of few
mesquite and greasewood bushes, and
the land laid loose and was drifted

this ground for irrigation. Then, aft
er that. they farm it for years with
cut any more expense but the water,
which costs them about So per acre
a year. They have all kinds Of wa
ter and their system of irrigation is
altogether different from ours.
"You all remember about eight
years ago when the Colorado river
was cutting a channel through this
valley to the Salton sea. Well, it's
some channel, believe me. In places

50 feet deep, but it was, in my es-
timation. the making of the country,

dry hole in the ground, but now is a
body of water about 81 miles long by
10 or II miles wide, but is gradual
" drying up again. Now as to our
altitude. Here in FL Centre we are
50 feet below sea level, and at Braw-
ley, a little town II miles north of

do you know about that?

The peculiar needs of Imperial val
ley in the way of homes and bust
ness houses has been we'll met. In
the matter of business places, the ar
cade style of building may be said to
have been universally adopted in all
the towns of the valley, and it is be-
coming more marked each year.
The absence of the wood and can
vas awnings of all shapes, heights,
colors and condition of servitude,
which deface many towns elsewhere,
are unknown here, and in their place
is the arcade, of uniform height and
width, reaching in unbroken lines for
blocks and giving an air of neatness
and stability which is not common in
small cities.
Two typical illustrations of the ar
cade effect are given herewith in pic
lures of the FL Centre National Bank
building and the Masonic Temple

With the sidewalks underneath the
second story. the owner Of the prop
erty profits from the increased floor
space, while the public is a great gain
err from the trimness Of the view and
the comfort afforded by the ample
shade.
There is still further gain from the
fact that the overreaching arcades
tone down the bright sunshine for
the benefit of the inmates Of the
buildings, as well as moderate the
temperature of the buildings.
One-story buildings are erected on
the same general lines, an appearance
of massiveness being obtained by
building ornamental structures few
feet high over the sidewalks, and as
even the one-story buildings are uni
formly erected on lines that permit
of adding stories later, the same gen
eral effect is carried out.
Imperial Valley press., 1914-01-10

Here is a peculiar state of affairs,
in that at least six great industries
are in competition for first place in
the affairs of Imperial valley and,
while they all prosper, no person can
now say with assurance what the bal
ance between these industries is to
be a dozen years from now.
This is spoken of as a peculiar
state of affairs, and yet it is an eX-
perience other communities of south
ern California have shared in a de-
gree. Riverside and Redlands start
ed on their careers with oranges and
raisins disputing for the mastery, and
it was only after years that it was
determined that oranges were best
adapted for those localities.
Here we have dairies, cotton, cattle,
sheep, hogs and cantaloupes as great
big factors, while even a seventh in
dustry, horticulture, is steadily gain
ing in Importance.
The time has come when each one
of the six big industries is measured
by the millions of dollars of annual
production in the valley, and there
probably is no one of these six indus
tries that is five times as great in,
revenue production as the least of the
six. This is the very peculiar condi-
ton that exists industrially in I'm
perial valley and all six are striving
for and claiming the mastery.
When it is considered that to a con-
siderable degree each of these indus
tries is in the hands of men who have
either devoted years elsewhere to
mastery of the industry, or belong to
a race of people skilled in their sew
eral pursuits, it begins to look as
though the industries would run on
parallel to each other for many years.
In the dairy business there are
many German and Italian-Swiss in the
valley, who were raised in the faith
erland to know the dairy business al
most exclusively, and year by year
their number here is being increased
by direct immigration from the old
country. With them in the industry
there are of course many Americans,
who are more versatile in their in
dustries, and who might swing from
one branch of agriculture to another.
To divert these Swiss from the dairy
business to another line is a thing
hardly to be dreamed of, even though
it were desirable. But, as it is, with
the great profits to be found in this
industry, there is no reason why they
should get into other lines, either for
their sake or the good of the COM
munity at large.
In cotton growing there is another
peculiar condition, the industry being
in large part in the hands of those
from the old South, especially Texas
and Oklahoma, who belong to a peo-
pie which for generations has fol-
lowed cotton growing almost exclu-
sively. and who have brought here
many Of the colored people of the
South as field workers As the cot

Angel and family of Wellington, who
have been located here little over

tented. 1t seemed good to us to meet
old friends again.
Gin the fall of the year farmers
disc their alfalfa, then, no matter how
thick the alfalfa is, sow it to barley,
which grows very rank along with the
alfalfa, which they pasture down in
the month of December, then again
i'm February, after which they let it
go for crop of barley, and they
realize from 80 10 so bushels of grain
TO the acre. Then after cutting the
alfalfa about six times, getting about
five to seven tons the season, the
same process over again.

degree of profit that is not known
in the country they came from, their
number is increasing rapidly, and
there is no prospect of an abandon
ment of the industry by them, so long
as the profit remains where it is.
Cattle, sheep and hog raising is
mainly in the hands of Americans
from the farms of the Middle West
and the ranges, and they have
strong prediction each for his call
ing, and are apparently fixtures In
those lines to great degree.
The cantaloupe industry has, in the
main, fallen into the hands of Jap
anese, who are expert gardeners,
though there are a few Americans
still engaged in the business on a
large scale, and who conduct it with
profit.
DuI one VI lHc SlCde ciCiiiCHto vi
strength in the valley is the diver
sity of its products. There have been
times when the bottom fell out of the
hog market and the sheep market,
and other times when dairy products
swung low in price, but, with all these
products, there is always something
to market, and there always will be.
Yet, looking into the long distance,
one cannot avoid the conviction that
other industries are growing up which
will in great measure take the place
of these and give to the valley more
intensive cultivation of the soil, imply
ing greater monetary returns to the
acre and advancing values TO a point
which will remove the land from profit
able production in some of the pres
ent industries.
That the greatest industry of the
valley twenty years from now will be
one which now attracts but little at
tention is the firm belief of the Press.
That is date growing, in which in
dustry Imperial and Coachella and
Yuma valleys afford practically the
only suitable environment in the Unit
ed States.
The whole growing world has
been ransacked for the choicest va
rieties of this fruit and, while the
propagation of trees from those now
growing will come slowly, the indus
try is already making splendid strides,
and will be heard from in much big
ger way in time not now remote.
1t is the conviction of the Press that
within ten to twenty years the date
will make the land of this valley just
as valuable as the choicest orange
land of the state, and when this land
shall have advanced to from $1,000
to $4,000 an acre, it will not be avail
able for growing cotton and fattening
livestock.
! There is none too much land in the
three valleys mentioned to supply the
dates the country needs if the entire
acreage were given over to this fruit.
But this is a matter for future years,
and for the present the great diver
sity of profitable pursuits of the val
ley is adding to it's fame and bring
ing prosperity to all the people of the
valley.
