HEBER IN WASHINGTON
Is There In the Interest Of the Caiifor-
 mia Development Company.

\. II. Hcber, president of the Cali tornia Development Company, K m N ashington on his way to New York. Mir. lleber said here today he Is wholly without information as to when the government will make a decision on the proposition to purchase the Imperial enterprise for settlers Tt $3,OOO,OOO, but he hoped that some sort oi announce ment will bc made soon.
 He says that all he cares for now Is an announcement that the government will, or will not, buy it at the price agreed upon. li the government wants to buy he says it can have the property at the price named, and If II does not buy he expresses himself as ready to express satisfaction with that decision and says he will proceed on his work oi development ut Imperial and will be prepared to protect water rights there.
 IL is evident that there is being framed great and probably long and bitter struggle over water rights on the Colorado river, in which the United States government, the Mexican govern ment, land owners and water users of the American side, aud land owners and water users on the Mexican side will take part Divergent interests are rep resented in Washington as being so ex- trcmcly wide apart that there is bound, sc it now secms, to be friction as soon as the United States government gets ready to put in irrigation works on this river
 Mir. IIeber says that go far as he is concerned, he feels that his position is strong and that he can maintain it On the other hand, some members Oi tho reclamation service say they believe waters of the Colorado River is not strong. It is believed that when r. IT, Newell returns from the West the posi- tion of the government will be made known.-Times.

ADVICE FROM "HER FATHER"
Net Calculated to Cheer the Wouid-Be
Benedict.

SSIlCOlSS.
A friend of the writer. who mar.
ried woman with temper OF her
own, tells an amusing story at her
expense. They have been married for
about two years, and as despite her
imperiousness they have got along
very we'll, she smiles when the story
is repeated.
After courting for some time the
young man summoned up courage to
put the momentous question. He was
duly accepted, but hint was thrown
out that he should see her father. He
readily agreed. and one evening
called to talk the matter over with
her parent.
When the matter had been arranged
the father said:
We'll, young man. if you want to
marry my daughter you must first get
your life insured in her favor"
Certainly" answered the would.be
benedict. pleased to find the father so
solicitous for the girls future.
Which company would you recon-
mend?"
IL would recommend none. sir" was
the answer. but" he added. as his
daughters bursts of temper came to
his mind, you had better choose
some pay-all-claims company. They
allow suicide"

What is the value of our peerage
of today? Lord Beaconsficld answer
ed the question in "Coningsby" many
years ago:
Ancient lienage,' said Mr.. Mill
bank: I never heard of peer with
an ancient lineage. The real old
families of this country are to be
found among the peasantry; the gent

blood. | can point YOU out Saxon
families in this country who can
trace their pedigrees beyond the con-
quest; | know of some Norman gen.
tlemen who's fathers undoubtedly
came over with the conqueror. But
a peer with an ancient lienage is to
me quite ovalty. No. no; the thir-
ty years war of the roses freed us
from those gentlemen. take it after
the battle of Tewkesbury, Norman
baron was almost as rare being in
England as wolf is now.
II have always understood. said
Coningsby. that our peerage was the
finest in Europe
From themselves said Millbank;
and the heralds they pay to paint
their carriages. But | so to facts.
When Henry VII. called his first par
lament there were only 90 temporal
peers to be found. and even some Of
them took their seats illegally. for
they had been attained. Of those 20
not five remain and. as the Howards,
for instance. are not Norman nobility.
We owe the English peerage to three
sources-the spoilation Of the church,
the open and fragrant sale of honors
by the elder Stuarts and the borough
mongering of our own times. Those
are the three main sources OF the az
listing peerage of England, and, in
NV opinion, disgraceful ones"
Lord Beaconsfeld might have add
| ed a fourth origin Of the existing peer
age. to wit. the bestowal OF honors
upon the mistresses of the kings and
their illegitimate children. This de-
corous nation, therefore. delights to
honor those who have inherited
titles from such shameful sourcas.-
