A SENSIBLE PROPOSITION
Guthrie MinisterWould Sub
NIT Prohibition Question
to Vote of People.

During the recent visit to Guthrie Of
Congressman Bird s. MCGUIRE, a dele.
cation of citizens headed by Rev. c. c.
Brannon, the preacher politician, call
ed on Mr.. Mcclure and submitted a
proposition, asking him to incorporate
it in the statehood bill. Rev. Brannon
is pastor of the West Guthrie Metho.
dist church, but has been equally prom
inent for ten years in Republican poll
tics and church affairs
The plan presented by Rev Brannon,
asks congress to provide that at the
same election of which the constitu-
ton is submitted to the people a pro
hibitory clause shall be submitted, as
a separate proposition, in order to get
a direct vote of the people on that
question.
1t is the belief Of prohibition advo-
Gates that such a clause would carry
in Oklahoma under those circum-
stances. and If so it would become a
part Of the state constitution. II not,
the success of the rest of the constitu-
tion would not be imperiled by its de
feat, as would be tho case were the
Gallinger amendment put into effect.
It is also a disputed question whether.
If adopted, 1t would stand test in the
courts, while prohibition secured IN.
der the plan above mentioned could
not be questioned.

 And even the Examiner gave us a favorable notice, which we can appreci- ate, considering the kind of digs we have been accustomed to from that quarter. It quotes Secretary Wiggins and has the following to say regarding Imperial Valley:
 ''Tne thirty-eiglt business men of Los Angeles, most of them members of the Chamber of Commerce, Merchants and Manufacturers Association and Jobbers' Association, who went to Imperial last Tuesday, upon invitation of the Cham- Der of Commerce there, returned Friday noon.
 cone of the greatest places on earth,, said Secretary Wiggins of the Los Ange- les Chamber of Commerce. 'There are in the Valley 1000 head of cattle, 10000 head of hogs and 100, ,OO0 sacks of grain. 7"
 Now, if this effect is produced in the minds of our visitors by so brief visit as they made, we can feel assured that we surely have something to show out of the ordinary.
 Our visitors were men who have all had their place in the upbuilding of the west.
 The rapid development of commu- nity is no surprise to them-it is an ordinary thing. But when they see 700 to goo miles of irrigating canals, more than 100000 acres of crops, I5,000 or more head of cattle, thousands of head of hogs, and hundreds of prosperous farms, in a country that four years ago was veritable desert, without water, or home, or growing thing, well can they say in the languag" of Mir. Wiggins, "It is one of the greatest places on earth"
 We trust our Chamber of Commerce will use every endeavor to have the entire Los Angeles Chamber of Com merce visit our Valley at an early date. All questions as to the productiveness of our soil are settled. We can grow any thing we care to grow, and in greater

 BIG CROP GAIN
 "We were reliably informed that there are ready for shipment no less than 300,000 sacks of barley and wheat pro- duced in the Valley.
 "Stock raising is carried on exten- sively and proftably. 1t is estimated that there are 15,000 cattle and 10000 hogs in the sections we traversed, omit ting those that had been fattened and shipped.
 "Great crops of barley and wheat are produced and alfalfa grows like weeds. It IS the stock feed of the Valley and many crops are grown from one sowing.
 "We were royalty entertained at all points visited, but we had little time for pleasure. It was purely business trip, and all of the business men return enthusiastic over the Valley and it's possibilities.
 "Fred l.. Ales visited the Valley four years ago and wrote up the country for one of the Los Angeles papers. I was greatly surprised,' he said, 'to Lote the advancement that had been made since 1 was down there in 1901. The Valley is blossoming as the rose, and there are big fortunes in the valleys for the far mers or any man who will devote him self to agricultural or stock raising pur- suits. The crops are marketed largely in the skin of the hogs, the horses, and the cattle, and man with even few acres will become independently rich in few years.
 eel saw land that four years ago was condemned as poor now growing some of the best crops in the Valley. All of the land is good. "
 FAVORABLE EXPRESSION
 The following resolution regarding the Valley was made
 "The business men engaged in the special excursion to the Imperial Val ley on April 26, 1905, desire to express to the Southern Pacific company and to the citizens O Calexico, HOltville, Inn perial and Brawley their high apprecia- ton of the courtesies extended to them in this opportunity to inspect the mag nfcent new farming section just de- veloping in the Imperial Valley.
 "There we found, in what was prac- tcally barren desert three years ago, more than one hundred thousand acres of fertile soil in high state of cultiva- ton, producing for market this year three hundred thousand sacks of grain, and many carloads of horses, cattle and swine.
 "We found there thrifty towns, pro- gressive business firms, and abundance of water flowing in canals and ditches,
