The Colorado River
And the case of the United States Re
clamation Service and the, Denver,
Northwestern and Pacific Ry. Co. ought
to show to any one. the futility of at
tempting to get any benefit for the toil
ers as long as the government has not
been reclaimed to the people. There
are those who denounce the Socialists
as Idealists, because they tell that any
seeming concession that can be wrested
from the capitalist Jass so long as the
government is controlled by the capital
ists will prove of no avail. They tell us
that we cannot expect to get the whole
thing at once; that we must get it piece
at a time, to which we heartily assent.
Our only point of disagreement is in the
piece we should get first.
The Socialist everywhere and all the
time says it will be useless to get the
public ownerships of utilities of any
character so far as being a real benefit
to the propertyless worker is concerned
until first the workers Bhall be aroused
to the necessity and the only sure sign
that they are aroused to such necessity
is in their having captured to themselves
the power that goes with holding the
political offices.
When the working men of this coun
try land the evinces are, dear readers,
that you are one of them) have been
robbed and betrayed k often enough by
the politicians they will then elect men
of their own class to office who under
stand economics and whose ambition is
not to rise on the backs of their fellows
but to abolish the system of exploita
tion whereby any one may possess him
self of the fruits of another's toil.
When that time comes you may be
sure that the public ownership of utility
will be operated for the public good not
as now to make someone's graft easier.
The people of the lower Colorado may
hope to gain something while the pres
ent order lasts and they will vote for it
to continue yet awhile, but they will
make no headway toward better condi
tions until they have stirred their bruins
enough to find out what the cause of
their trouble is. Think of the absurdity
of your position. You elect some cor
poration lawyer to office and then expect
nim to enact laws in your interest and
detrimental to the interest of the corp
orations which employ him, or if a
judge, yon expect him to interpret the
law in your interest, or an executive of
ficer, to enforce the law so you will get
justice. While all tlje time this lawyer
knows that when his term of office ex
pires if he has served the corporations
welliie will be taken care. of. Yon ex
pect the officers yon elect, who are eith
er capitalists or their lackeys, to make
and enforce laws in your interest and
against their own.
Don't you think that people who ex
pect a thing like thatought to be robbed?
The Reclamation work on the Colorado
has been hindered by private greed ; is
now being hindered by private greed
and will continue to be hindered by the
same cause until the workers, under
standing the requirements, will elect
members of their own class to office and
back them up with an organization that
can, if necessary, give them constant in
structions and hold them responsible
for the obeyment of the same.
Then the Reclamation can go on and
will go on in a manner never yet dreamed
of. But when that time comes there
will be in the hands of the workers
something to abolish graft and do yon
suppose that they will not use it for that
purpose?
The Co-Operative Commonwealth will
then be established, and that time is
not far distant or there is a lapse into
feudalism or worse. The fnturedepends
on you ; the question is, "Will you act?"

Scenery on the Alamo
At a place about three-quarters of a
mile due west of F. E. Jordsn's place in
No. 7, the Alamo River has shifted its
course so often during the high water
this year, cutting its banks on one side
and then the other, until now a space
tof fully one mile square meets the gaze
of those who visit it. The river at this
"--• articular place runs very swiftly and
tXcutting of the banks is rapid. At
o; ; /pl &ce a Bma H island has been cut off
frJ\ the main land. The banks raise
per. "mdicular 100 feet from the river bed
aridvi one stands near the edge of the
bank* he can see thousands of different
&Yidß f . water fowls cougregated in the
shallc \ water and ponds below. The
scene presented is a beautiful one and
will amply re^ay any one visiting it.
Superintendent Bay less and the Tri
bune man visited the place on Sunday
and spent fully an hour in the vicinity,
watching the treacherous Alamo in its
work of destruction. Mr. Bayless in
tends returning next Sunday and have
eoine views taken .— Holtville Tribune.

•*. The Eastside Grain, Crop -
It has been estimated that the entire
crop of the Imperial Valleyifor 1905 will
be 300,000 sacks. Of this amount the
Eastside will contribute over one-|sixth.
During the early threshings season
there were shipped from HoHviHe'2l,239
sacks of grain. To handle tins it took
41 cars holding an average of 518' sacks
to the car. , "
Until the latter part of last! week
there lias been stored in the Imperial
Grain & Milling company's warehouse
at this place, 15.000 sacks of grain, mak
ing the total amount threshed up to
date, 36,239 sacks. It is estimated that
there is stacked in the fields yet to be
threshed, enough headed grain to bring
the total Eastside production up to 50,
000 sacks.
When the remaining grain is threshed
and sold over $40,000 will have been dis
tributed among the ranchers in this
community. Not at all a bad showing
for the first grain crop. — Holtville' Tri
bune.

THREE JURORS CURED
Of Cholera Jlorbus With One Small
Bottle of Chamberlain's Calic,
Cholera & Diarrhoea Remedy
Mr. G. W. Fowler of Hightower, Ala.,
relates an experience he had while serv-
ing on a petit jury in a murder case at
Edwardsville, county seat of. Clebourne
county,. Alabama. He says: "While
there 1 ate some fresh meat and some
souse meat and it gave me cholera mor-
bus in a very severe form. I was never
more sick in my life and sent to the
drug store for a certain cholera mixture,
hut the druggist Pent me a bottle of
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy instead, saying that he
had what I sent for, but that this medi-
cine was so much batter he would rather
send it to me in the fiir I was in. I
took one dose of it and was better in
five. minutes. The second dose cured
me entirely. Two fellow, .jurors were
afflicted 'in; the name manner and one
twenty-five cent. bottle cured the three
