 Assistant District Attorney Schooner over is in the Valley this week prosecut- ing the water pollution cases. He finds it necessary to make frequent visits to our Valley in the discharge of his duty and we suspect that ere long he will discover the lay of the wires in these parts and also who 1t is that pulls them. Mir. Schoonerover is good lawyer, a conscientious prosecutor and a gentle man whom it is pleasure to meet.
 Last Sunday there were some horse races ran off at Calexico, and it is re- ported that some of our Imperialites are quite a bit poorer if no wiser than they were before the races were run. The worst of It is that the heaviest loser has wife and children who will suffer unnecessary hardships as a result of the venal recklessness of the husband and father. Just such cases make every good man set his face against all kinds of gambling.

Jasper May Resign
 Supervisor Jasper has been elected as Secretary of the San Diego Chamber of Commerce and will take his office about October l. This is very important position and one Mir. Jasper is well qualified to fill and we congratulate both him and the San Diego Chamber on his selection. It is also reported that he will resign from his office of Supervisor at the next meeting of that Board, which will take place on October 3. This will necessitate the appoint ment by Governor Pardee of some one to fill out his unexpired term. In event he does resign it will behoove the people of Imperial Valley to see that their claims are properly urged for the selection of the man from our Valley. The fact that MT. Jasper was Valley man added many votes to his poll last fall. He has always taken great i'm terest in our welfare, having cast his lot with the Valley pioneers and done his part during the past three years to conquer the desert and build up<o our country. We need his successor, in case of his resignation, right here in Imperial Valley and no doubt if a good man is selected and a solid pull made for him, Governor Pardee will give our claims the weight they are entitled to and the new supervisor will be a Valley man, too.

Making railroad rates Is like play
ing game Of checkers or chess. Com
munities to be benefited, producers,
manufacturers or shippers to be aided,
represent the pieces used. Every pos
sibe move Is studied for its effect on
the general result by skilled tra.ic
managers A false move in the max
ing of freight rates may mean the
ruin of a city, Of a great manufacture
ing interest, of an agricultural com
munity. Railroads strive TO build -
all these so that each may have an
equal chance in the sharp competition
Of business. SO sensitive TO this rival
nv are the railroads that in order to.
build up business along their lines they
frequently allow the shipper to prac.
tically dictate rates. Rate making has
been a matter Of Development; of mu-
tual concessions for mutual benefit
That IS why the railroads Of tie nls
tel States have voluntarily made
freight rates SO much lower in this
country than they are on the govern
ment-owncd and operated railways OF
Europe ana Australia that they are
now the lowest transportation rates In
the world

4 lady said recently: II wish some

the hostess is the only one with the right
TO run a party. Twice recently | have
been at informal afternoon companies
where some guest has broken up the
gathering by insisting that refreshments
be served at an hour to suit herself.
"On one such occasion we were in
vited for bridge and the lady who asked
for refreshments early skipped out after
she Lad eaten her luncheon to keep an
appointment with = dresSmakcr. OF
course we were le:t one short. The host
ess was annoyed and all the rest of H.
cross, SO we put on our wraps and went
home.
AT another affair, whore guest in
listed on interfering with the arrange
ments, the hostess finally exclaimed:
This is my party and III have. it the

two blind men from the home at Thirty
