County Republican Mass Meeting.

chairman OF the Charlton county
Republican committee, a goodly
number of Republicans assem-
bled at the courthouse in Keytes-
vile Wednesday, June 4, for the
purpose of electing delegates to
the state nominating and judi
cial conventions.
The meeting was called to or
der by F. G. Sasse, who was
temporary chairman by virtue of
his office, and who felt called
upon to make an explanation as
to why there was not a delegated
convention held rather than a
mass meeting. Some of the
faithful from the east side of the
county seemed to think he had
been remiss in the performance of
his duties; they had expected the
meeting to be held at Salisbury,
according to former agreement,
rather than at Keytesville.
After much speaking and consid-
erable wrangling concerning the
method of electing a permanent
chairman, the proposition to elect
by s'stand-up- nd-be- counted"
vote was carried. Judge O. F.
Smith and Chas. w. Northcott,
editor of the Sumner Star, were
nominated for permanent chair
man, which resulted in the elee-
ton of Northcott by vote of A
to "a. The retiring chairman
introduced the permanent chair
man, who made very short
speech, thanking the conve ntion
for the honor bestowed upon him.
H. M. Allen of. Mendon and j.
D. Sharp of Bee Branch were
nominated for secretary. Allen
was elected by a vote of Al to 32:
At this stage of the proceed
ings Capt. Benecke made a
speech defending himself from
the charge of making recon-
mendations for appointment to
federal offices in an officious
and unbecoming manner,
which he pronounced as a
malicious lie, and called upon the
starter of it to "stand up" but
there was no response to the
proposition.
F. c. Sasse moved the appoint
ment, by the chair, Of a commit
tee of five to select delegates to
the state nominating and judi
cial conventions. A. Colyer op-
posed the plan and proposed a
delegation of one from each
township who should choose the
delegates. Sasse's motion pre-
vailed by a vote of 30 to 35,
whereupon F. c. Sasse, j. r.
Lewis, G.. A. Greene, c.. w.
Brewer and F. B. McCurry were
appointed as such committee.
The committee retired for con-
sultation when Capt. Benecke
offered resolutions endorsing the
platform of every national Re-
publican convention from 1856
to 1900, National Committeeman
Kerens, and State Committee
man Atkins, the Democratic Of
ficials of Charlton county, anc
condemning the Democratic
state administration. This reso-
luton and one offered by w. R
Sweeney of Salisbury, asking the
state convention to retain T. j
Atkins as chairman of the state
central committee, were adopted
unanimously.
J. w. Cooper of Salisbury Of
fered resolution recommending
to the county central committee
the first Tuesday in August as
the time and Salisbury as the
place to hold the county con-
vention to nominate candidate:
for county Offices and elect dele
gates to the senatorial and con.
gressional conventions. Before
this motion was put Capt. Ben
ecke got the floor and made :

WI ARf NOW THIRTEEN

II is but few years since the Mid winter issue of the Los Angeles Times presented full page group of sisters labeled We are Seven." Then no one thought of including more than seven counties, for which the pretty maidens stood as symbols, in South ern California. In the last issue of the Midwinter Times a map is given showing thirteen counties of South ern California, with county seats; area 7S, JOS square miles, 50 per cent of the area of the State; population, +07 ,Sl3, 27H per cent of population of State. !" The most northerly of these counties are San Benito, Merced, Madeira and Mono. San Benito and Mono, more over, are probably the only counties in the group which do not find extensive and growing trade relationship with Southern California.
 That the southern half of the State should have but third of the popula ton is not remarkable, considering the recent period of growth in the South and the undeveloped resources of vast areas.
 But this same issue of the Times tells another story. It shows that the Imperial irrigation system is more than doubling the irrigated area of Southern California. 1t calls atten- ton to the wonderful strides in devel- opment of other portions of the South, and points plainly to the undeniable fact that not only is room being made for greatly increasing the population of Southern California, but that those additional people are coming in to take advantage of the new opportunities at a rate never befor equaled.
 We arc no longer seven. We are thirteen. We are half of the State in sig c, Il quarter in population, and all most the whole thing in enterprise, even judged by the admissions of the people of the North.

Murder at CalexiCO

Albert Pachcco was killed Sunday night by some unknown person, his body being found Monday morning near the company's lumber pile by the Chinese cook. Pacheco had evidently been shot in the forehead after being severely beaten over the head. From all accounts he had been looking for trouble, having come in from across the line in a fighting mood, and hay ing threatened to shoot several of his associates Sunday, and having fired one shot through n tent in which were several people. He had for months been known as being too ready with his gun. He drew some money Satur- day, and had left his horse concealed and saddled on the Mexican side of the line, as though he contemplated trou- ble and wanted to make n nasty trip. He came from Tucson about year ago, and it is said that his mother and a sister reside in that town. He was 23 or 2+ years of age.
 The coroner was notified of the kill ing, and at his suggestion the citizens met and elected Hugh ]. Baldwin, county superintendent of schools, who was in town, as chairman, and an in- by whose hand the man met his death. It is claimed that suspicion rests on certain persons, though the general opinion is that the deceased provoked the trouble which led to h:s death.

San DiegO-taStern

County Superintendent of Schools, Hugh ]. Baldwin, who came in from san Diego few days since, passed the survey party of the San Diego Eastern railroad this side ofthe grade, and said that he had talk with Chief Engineer Richards, who declared that the heaviest grade thus far found is 70 feet to the mile, and that was the heaviest lie would have. Through Jacunba valley the route will lie to the northeast, entering Imperial valley through the Carriso creek country at d point d little north of west of lmpe- rial. From that point, Mir. Baldwin is convinced, the road will make for the international line, passing into Mexi- co around the sand hills, and thence to Yuma, He could not give an idea of the route to be followed across this valley, but he considered it probable that the road would aim for Imperial before turning to the south, wishing to get the benefit of traffic by passing through the heart of the irrigated sec ton. Mir. Baldwin discredits the ru- nor that this project is affiliated with the Southern Pacific road.

have shown an actual loss in manu- mento has made some gain (due un- doubtedly to the presence of railroad shops there, the work of which is here alter to be divided with Los Angeles). Los Angeles has made gain of 1l5 per cent. It is true this brings the Los Angeles total to but about one seventh of that of San Francisco, but the southern city is now making won- derful strides, and has the advantage of having closer to it than to San Fran cisco every oil field in the state. This gives it the advantage of cheap fuel to add to its advantage of grow ing population, the improvement of transportation facilities and the com ing completion of its harbor. -.s,

Fruit Shipping Case

Los Angeles fruit shippers are en- deavoring to hasten decision from the Interstate Commerce Commission regarding the relationship of private car lines to the railroads and regard ing the rights of the car lines to im- pose refrigeration tariff independent of the traffic rates. The testimony in the case was presented before the com- mission sitting in Los Angeles about two years ago, the editor of the Press having had the good fortune to listen to the testimony ill the case. r-H r
 The questions which are really in- volved in this issue are by no means of d local nature, for one of them is whether a railroad company has a right to accept cars owned by one car line for transmission over it's lines and to refuse similar cars from other co nl- panieS for similar transmit ssion. On this hinges not only the rights of all refrigerator, livestock and other spec ial freight car lines, but, by inference, the power of maintaining a palace-car monopoly.
 It is long time since the testimony and arguments in this case were pre- scented, and though the alleged evils have been somewhat mitigated by the railroads since the suit was brought, the old system still remains in force.
 Even when the commission shall have rendered decission, it will have no power to enforce it, and the decis- ion will be but little more than advis- ory.
 Ii seems not improbable that the ex pertinent of creating the Into rstate Commerce Commission will be the last futile effort of the people to regulate the railroads, and that the next step will be ownership and operation of the roads for the benefit of the public by the people themselves. The creation of the commission was a desperate step toward regulation of the roads, and the nullitcation of it's powers by Congress and by the courts is making necessary the final step of public own ership of the roads.

New School Districts

County Superintendent of Schools Professor Baldwin is preparing to leave for the desert for few weeks trip. He will go by way of Campo and will meet Supervisor Jasper at Impe- rial next week. Together they will go over the country in that section and map out new school districts which are being demanded by the people who are settling in the desert country. The return will probably be made by way of Julian. San Diegan-Sun.
