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?"

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. WHAT YOU WANT and WHERE TO GET IT. * . " *; > Watch changes in • : our advertisements. •*. 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.
