DEFYING THE PEOPLE.

l. The one feeling on the part of any people that
causes them take the law in their own hands tna
they are denied their legal moral rights and that there
is no recourse but in force. .
For weeks there have been muttered threats on all
sides against the whose neglect of duty led to the
water shortage in the valley and only the constant ad
vice given by the editor Of the Press and other believers
in peaceful measures has prevented popular uprising
that might have resulted seriously.
Now the district officials are adopting policy Of
denial of legal rights the people and of defiance of pub
lie sentiment that is causing revival of the danger
The threat of Attorney Conkling that the district
would up and throw in the wastebasket any further
recall petitions received and the refusal of President
Hamilton yesterday afternoon to permit Attorney Sey-
mcur and Secretary Hill of the recall committee to see
the petitions that had been denied and note the names al
lowed and those rejected has aroused bitterness that
TO state the frankly, is menacing to the peace
This is just the kind of denial of the rights of the
people that frequently leads to acts by vigantes
The name of Imperial valley throughout its history
has been protected from any uprising of the people to
ring discredit to it. and every friend Of the valley must

Believes 1916 Returns
Will Prove Pretty Good

A, E. Chamberlain, agriculturist ex-
pert who has analysed the crop sltua'
ton for the Dakota Farmer, estimates
that instead of being short this year,
when it comes to marketing the sea
sons productions, farmers of the Da-
kotas, Montana and Wyoming really
will get $5S,0OO,0OO more than for a
normal year. Wheat alone is bad
crop, Mr.. Chamberlain's report says,
and with other crops good and prices
high the financial prospects are excel
lent he concludes.
There was a big surplus Of money
from last years crop, the report says,
and the farmers put it into the banks.
This year the wheat crop has been cut
down. The loss will run to 100000, 900
in net figures, it is stated, but this is
of small consequence relative to the
whole annual production, including
livestock and dairy products. g.
Dairying and livestock raising are
thriving, Mr.. Chamberlain finds.
OF crops other than wheat he re-
ports: . FL.
Corn-The greatest prospect.
Oats-Better than last year in some
places; in others damaged 10 to 20
per cent. -.. Eu-...-
Barley-Damaged in some places.
Rye-Exceptionally good. #
Flax-As good as last year and near
ly all out of danger of frost.
Mr.. Chamberlain, in his report, pre-
sents figures showing the carry over
of wheat and other grains from last
year and the greater value of the car
ry over. Wheat was figured at IS
cents bushel in the final crop report
of the government. in December, 1915,
giving estimated farm valuation.
Northwest farmers may reasonably
expect to get $3.50 bushel for their
wheat this year, the report says.
"The farmers of North Dakota, South
Dakota, Montana and Wyoming will
not be short more than $1O0OOO,0OO in
the amount of money they will re-
ceive for their 1916 crop of wheat as
compared with 1916" the report says.
I'VE hope and expect to realize S1.3O
or better net to the farmer for this
crop OF wheat. But to be absolutely
conservative in this estimate, we will
compute it at $1.1O per bushel. The
1916 crop, on the basis of $1.10 per
bushel on the farm, which is surely
conservative, only need amount to a..
812,819 bushels to justify this conclu.
! sion. This is only 371a per cent of
last years crop, or 158,059,000 bushels
less.'
