IN ONE YEAR

One year ago this week the Imperial Press passed into the hands of it's pres ent owner. The paper was then carry ing 222 inches of advertising, which, in the last issue of the Press, had grown to GA inches-an increase of 190 per cent.
 When the paper was put on a cash subscription basis on April its circula- tion was 600. Since then it has been steadily increasing, and today the regu- lar issue of the Press, every copy for bona fde subscribers who have paid in advance, barring about 40 for office sales, is an even 1900, or an exact gain of 100 per cent in eleven months.
 What this circulation means to newspaper is shown by the fact that out of 773 papers published in California, only 234 papers exceed that of the Press. This paper, therefore, in point of circulation is In the top third of Cali fornia publications.
 Considering that this success has been achieved in town but three years old, and as yet having population of but 800 persons, we feel that we have some cause for self congratulation.
 But what the Press has accomplished in the past year must be duplicated in the year to come. Before the next twelve months are gone the Press must have it's daily edition. It must crowd the weekly ahead to double it's present circulation, and it must make great in- crease in it's mechanical equipment for newspaper making.
 The Press is not beggar. It never asks the public to do more for it than the people believe they can do for their own good. But it gives value for value, and believes the public appreciates this fact, and for the good of the valley will aid in crowding this publication ahead.

stress upon fancy and non-essential points without proper regard for those of utility. It is of course desirable, where possible, to combine both beauty and utility and a fancy head and ear, fine silky coat, perfect color and nice curl to his tail add greatly to the beauty, style and finish of a hog, and are very desirable points for the breeding boar to possess, when coupled with good bone, frame and form throughout. would, however, never select slab-sided, cat hammed, hump-backed hog, with little light bones and toes spraddled out and pointing upward, simply because he had a fancy head and ear, and two kinks in his tale, or because his tail curled to the right or left as the case might be. 1 have seen farmers select pigs with fancy ears that had little else to commend them, at the same time entirely ignor- ing pigs that were much better in bone, frame and general form, because they were plain in head and ear or had few stray hairs more or less of some particu- lar color on the body.
 The breeder of pure bred hogs, if he is up to date and abreast of the times, will of course insist on having both the fancy and utility points combined in as perfect an animal as he can find and he is as ule always willing to pay fair price to obtain such, but very few farmers real ize the value of such hog and fewer still are willing to pay the price which he commands, while still others will buy fancy head and ear and six white points or cherry red, white or black color, as the case may be, without any pig worth speaking of being thrown in for good n easure, under the mistaken idea that these are the most important points about hog, and that he is not pure bred unless he has them, when in fact, from farmers standpoint espec- tally, they should be considered of the least importance.
 To sum up the matter briefly, then I would say to the breeder and also to the general farmer who likes to study how best to improve his stock and takes pride in so doing, aside from the mere dollars and cents which such improve ment will bring him: Select the best you can find and buy it at any cost within your reach. To the man who raises pork for pork's sake and has not an idea above dime or dollar; let the little, slab-sided, cat-hammed, hump back pig alone, even if he has fancy head and ear and nice curl to his tail, and put the few dollars that you can muster up the courage to spend for inn proved blood in pig that is good in all the utility points mentioned, letting it's head, ears color and tail take care of themselves, providing always, of course, that he is of some pure breed. A grade male of any description is worse than nothing for breeding purposes.

SOME HOG SENSE
How to Build Up Herd for Profit
 Making

M. M. Offutt, read before the Texas Swine Breeders Association.-It is an old, trite and true saying among breed CTS ot all kinds of blooded stock that the male is half the herd. It therefore behooves not only the breeder of pure bred swine, but also the general farmer who desires to improve the feeding, de- veloping and early maturing qualities of his hogs, to use the greatest care in se- lecting the boar that he would place at the head of his herd and look well to quality. It is we'll known axiom, or principal of breeding, that, 'like will be- get like or the likeness of some ances- tor" and therefore I would select a boar possessing in marked degree the prominent characteristics of the breed or family to which he belongs, coupled with strong masculinity, great vitality and constitutional vigor and such other characteristics as wished to perpetrate in the herd.
 It is we'll to remember that the chief end of hog is pork, and in order to desig- nate more clearly and concisely, from a pork standpoint the points to be consid- cred in the selection of the breeding boar, will divide them into two classes First, the utility or essential and sec ondly, the fancy, or non-essential. Among the former 1 would place back, hams, shoulders, spring of rib, heart girth, feet and legs, and among the lat ter, head, ears, crest, coat, color and tail.
 The head should be short, broad across the nose and wide between the eyes, ears small and neat, upright in some breeds such as Berkshires, Essex and small Yorkshires, and dropping in others as in the Poland Chinas, Duroc- Jerseys and Chester Whites, though it notinfrequently happens that somewhat dropping ears will occur in the former and somewhat upright ears in the latter breeds. Shoulders should be broad and rather full, coming up full and square on top, broad back, strong and slightly arched, hams large and full, letting well down over the hooks, ribs we'll sprung, and sides full and deep, legs of good size with strong bone, feet straight and strong, not letting down on the dew claws, and toes short and not spread apart.
 I should want him of medium length and of fairly good size for age and breed to which he belongs, and other things being equal, would select him from a family or strain of blood that is popular and from dam that raises fair sized filters, for while believe that the phys ical condition of sire and dam at time of service and the character of feed upon which they are kept has as much as any thing else to do with the number of pigs which SOW will farrow, still prolific ness is undoubtedly 70 some extent he reditary and therefore transmissable and is quality we should seek to main tain
 There is, I think, at present a ten dency among breeders to select boars of fnO chOrt opJ Hlool,x, @,,ro M..

hard to see where anybody had lost anything but blood and clothes. Rrok- en dishes and brickbats attested to the spirited nature of the erfga geme mt, while wrecked furniture and a nearby aX suggested that Sirnona might later knit together the fabric of a damage suit.
 The Incident was reported to the of heers by three passersby, who said they had no interest in the case but happen ed along when the excitement was at it's highest and fearing someone would get hurt they ''parioned'' (parted) them. Acting Recorder Burnett said 1t was sad case and he did not like to be severe for it concerned the ten derest emotions of the human heart and the Peralta family runs mostly to heart. In view of the blood letting he imagined the hearts had already suf- fered materially, so he sent each of the women below for five days As they were still beliggerent they were placed in separate cells, which they proceeded to decorate with their own gore before their wounds were staunched, but later in the day they made up and were both placed in one cell This was not done so much to facilitate reconciliation as 1t was to give the janitor a chance to clean up the blood in one cell while they were spilling it in the other, thus preserving a measurably satisfactory sanitary condition.

 He mentioned the presidents attitude in connection with the postoffice inves- tigation, the Cuban treaty and the Panama canal treaty. In the latter case. he said, the president had risen in his owr person, in his own power as an individual and as president of the United States and had solved that problem in such a manner that all the world looked on with admiration and he added that there was nobody in the United States today that raised a sane voice against the proposition.

Washington. April 1.-The senate to- day listened to a two hours speech by Mir. Morgan on the Panama canal question and then again took up the postoffice appropriation bill but ad- journed without completing its constd- eration. Some important amendments aside from those suggested by the com mittee were agreed to. among them one increasing from two to four ounces the size oFfranked letters and another adding twenty-five members to the force of rural free delivery agents.

THEY FOUGHT FOR LOVE
Two Women Who Were Suffering Se-
 verely of Heart Trouble.

Francisco Peralta and Simona Peral- ta who are no relation, though there is a similarity in their names, were ar rested yesterday morning by Officer Moore and Billy Simmons of the fire police squad. at the residence of Sl- mona on Jackson street, between Third and Fourth streets. Officer Moore did not know at first whether to place against them the charge of disturbing the peace, or of running a slaughter house within the city limits. They had been fighting and both women had left upon them fewer clothes than are shown in the most ultra fashionable ball costumes, while their flesh was torn and lacerated, blood flowed freely from numerous trivial wounds, gather ing in little pools upon the floor. and through the lamps of each combatant glared the fiendish spirit of the green eyed monster.

TO CALIFORNIA FOR ONE DOLLAR
And Still Some People Had the Nerve
 to Ask for Passes.

Said MT. Nicholson, passenger ,traf . fic manager of the Santa Fe, in a re- cent interview:
 We feel we are dealing literally this spring with the public and with California in making a one-way rate of S33.00, second class, and a round trip rate of s50.00. first class, Chicago to California-about half the usual charge. But what would you think of travelling from Kansas City to Los Angeles for one dollar? Way back in 1886 the California lines had a little passenger war. Local travel was rather light and through rates were cut to pieces. Down, down they went until for several weeks a dollar bill would buy an 1, 800 mile ride.
 Crowds? You would have thought all the United States and a part of Canada were on the move. The Santa Fe ran long trains in so many sections that the train dispatchers were threat ened with paresis. Any old engine would do, so long as it could pull a load and whistle. Any old car would do, so long as 1t had windows and seats. The crowd was a jolly one though. It did not expect Waldorf As toria accommodations, and did not get them. but it got comfortable ride and saw California.
 How about coming back? Well, we hauled them eastward for a very few dollars, too. The round trip was vir- tually vacation gift to the public at large.
 You may not believe, but it is so- some folks actually had the nerve to ask for passes, while the dollar rate was on. Once in a while we gave pass. just to save the expense of is suing a long coupon ticket"

DIES MONIES FROZEN UP
The Coal Strike Closes Schools and
 Churches.

Des Moines, Ia., April 5.-On account of the coal strike, the railroads an- nounced today that at least 100 men will be paid off at once. Sev anteen switching crews and nineteen full train crews running out of Des Moines and Valley Junction quit work today.
 Similar action by the railways cen tering at Boone, Belle. Plaine, Osca- loosa, Ottumwa and Albia will mean a loss of work to about 1000 men.
 The churches here are closed on ac- count of the strike and the schools have closed for a week until coal can be secured. Only one school room in the city is open. A call reconvening the joint conference at Des Moines in a few days, at which a settlement Is looked for, will be issued.

There would be no ten of you he said, "that will name the same item, 10 five of you that will come within 50 per cent. of 1t, and none Of you will agree on all of the items of tariff." At which there was much laughter. He scored the democratic party on the tariff question as being composed # 'd.s- organized, broken-up, disinembered helter-skelter crowd"
 He got into an argument with MT. Clark, of Missouri, regarding differ ence of opinion among the republicans on the tariff question and said there was no difference of opinion as to the true basis on which protection must stand. When it comes time to amend the tariff" he vehemently stated, i've will amend it."
 Mir. Grosvenor declared that the re- publicans would not disturb the peace of the country and bring 1t to the con dition of 1893 through an agitation of intended tariff revision that would break the flow of prosperity in the country. He maintained that the bus mess interests would not trust the democratic party. He said that from the beginning of the history of the democratic party whenever it has made a tariff agitation, bankruptcy, panic and hard times have followed.
 Taking up the subject of the trusts. MT. Grosvenor declared that not one word of praise or approval of the Sher- man antitrust law had come from democratic sources. He defended the president for his attitude concerning the trusts. saying :"1t is enough for MT.
