T UNFAIR ADVANTAGE.

~ With Attorney lockwood out in
opposition to the Laguna dam connec-
ton and Chief Engineer Ccnkling for
a change now advocating the issuance
of district bonds in the sum of five
million dollars to connect with Laguna
dam, the district management is tax
ing the unfair advantage of playing
both ends against the middle.

vIST FILE THE QUESTIONS.

- The Brawley News, CaleXico
Chronicle and Ell Centre Progress are
having lots of fun asking questions Of
the Press, and it is perfectly HARM
less occupation. These papers, like
the public, apparently know where to
find the fount of universal knowledge,
but the. questions are piling up on US
and we must ask that hereafter al.
questions propounded by these news
rapers be duly filed and recorded at
the office of the county recorder. We
will then call for them and answer
them when we get relay to do so.

~ONGULTING ENGINEER.

" The Press some time since fav-
cred board of consulting engineers
for the irrigation district, but it op-
posed the appointment of such board
simply as a means of diverting atten-
ton from the neglect of the main can
al and the extravaganza Of the board.
1t also opposed the appointment OF
such a board by the Los Angeles
clearing house, over which the MeXl-
can land interests would have had
predominating influence.
The personnel of the board that has
been selected, so far as the Press
knows, is very high, but there is one
very important question to be decid-
Cd before the Press can commend this
action. That is whether these engi-
neers are to formulate f4rst ,nand
what they believe to be the best con-
structive policy for Imperial valley
or are to pass on plans by Engineer
lockwood without familiarity with
competing plans.
As Mr.. lockwood probably will hold
his position for six weeks longer,
it is probable every effort will be
made to rush through report from
this board, but it is improbable that
it can be passed on before a reorgani-
Zation of the district.

L The Calexico Chronicle insists
that the Press shall tell how it knows
the west side canal was constructed
bigger than was required for the
emergency of this year. But why not
let Mr.. lockwood answer that. Says
ne in his letter to the Press: "a small
er canal would have been unwise,
since in enlarging it to meet future
demands most of its yardage would
lave to be rehandled."
The 6O-feet-wide canal, you see,
was not required now. Mr.. lockwood
was building for the future. He was
not rushing through a canal to pre-
vent the loss of millions in crops. To
save a hundred thousand dollars at
some possible future date he sacrificed
millions in crops this year

A GAINST EXECUTIVE HEAD.

1 \ In letter to the Brawley News
Chief Engineer lockwood takes the
ground that there is no place in the
economy of things for an executive
head for the irrigation district, as
one exercising such function would
in reality be chief engineer. That
settles a point so far as Mr.. Rock
woods opinion goes, regarding which
we have been in doubt. We did not
know which was the executive head
of the district, the engineer or the at
torney.

gauge railroad extending westward
from the town of Patterson.
Much Tributary Tonnage.
The railroad will be operated under
the name of the Patterson and West.
ern Railroad Company. This road is
constructed primarily for the purpose
of affording means of transportation
for its own minerals, but in addition
to this there are tributary to the line
the magnesite deposits of the West.
ern Magnesite Company, described in
the latest edition of the Encyclopaedia
Americana as the largest in the
world. There are also large quick.
silver mines now in active operation.
The plans of the company include
the construction of extensive manu-
featuring plants at Patterson, Cal,
for the manufacture of the products
described above. The first plant, now
in course of construction, is for the
manufacture of dioxide of manganese
and EPSON salts. These products are
now commanding tremendously high
prices because their present sources
cf supply are cut off by the war. Here.
tofore they have been furnished to
the United States almost exclusively
from foreign countries. =. "
Some idea of the possibilities before
this company may be gained from
the fact that the area controlled by
it lies within a belt which produces
all the commercial minerals above
referred to in larger quantity and
greater purity than anywhere else
on this coast, if not in the whole
world. The operations of this COM
pany will supply the United States
with materials hitherto almost eM
clusively imported from Europe, and
will not only supply local demands,
but in the process of development, will
supply a large export trade.
