signboard nuisance was a matter for
united action.

the Promotion Committee give its en-

A Kansas Feeaing Experiment.

There are two ways of figuring on
the profits of an experiment. If you
get full pay for feed, time, labor, etc.
and do not allow anything for manure
made, there may be a deficiency, but
that is not the correct way to reckon.
The Oklahoma Farmer prints an ac-
count of an experiment that will give
you sample of both methods.

But we must leave now that charm

steps from where we started. Now
we take the walk along the other side
of the garden which has just the same
enclosure. On the corner which is
formed by the house and wall is
shrubbery of the same size and charac
ter as on the other side. Following
along the bed which is identical with
that on the other side of the garden
we come to the middle of the wall
Here the wall is broken, and passing
through the gate we enter in a kitchen
garden.
Everything there is in straight quad
rangular beds. On each side of the
main walk are large beds of glowing
Nasturtiums, the seeds of which are
used for canning. Then come large
patches of all kinds of vegetables, and
finally in one corner square there we
find the old-fashioned herbs for which
we look so often but seldom find: the
Sage, the Peppermint, Lavender.
Thyme, Rosemary, ShamOmile and
many more.
Going back through the gate which
is formed in the wall we follow it once
more till we come to the furtherest
corner. There again is a large shrub

further inquiry we find that this is

WOODS GETS CONTRACT
Chicago Firm Awarded Business By Fl CentrO CantaIOupe Growers
 Association

Last Thursday was an important day in Fl Centro, for it was then the canta- loupe growers met to decide their course for the coming year. The meet ing was held in the office of the Ira Aten Land Go. and was a most inter- estlng one. There were representa- lives of seven fruit shipping firms pres ent and each made a proposition for the business. Each proposal was care fully considered by the growers, the discussion lasting all day and well into the evening. However. when the final vote came to be taken all but two vot ed in favor of the contract offered by H. Woods, of Chicago. Later in the evening the board of directors held meeting and the contract with MT. Woods was duly signed and adopted. We hope to publish the contract in an early issue of this paper and thus en- able all to see the basis on which Fl Centro will grow cantaloupes the com Ing year. This contract Is so favor able to the growers that we expect to see a very large acreage planted and Fl Centro become the leading canta- loupe growing point in the Imperial valley.

EDITORS VISIT VALLEY
Distinguished Party of Opinion MOuIders" Spend Day ia Seeing
 Our Wonderful Progress

Last Tuesday our Valley was visited by jolly party of newspaper men who spent the day looking us over and ln- forming themselves SO they can .kwrlte us up for the world at large from their personal kn- wledge.
 There were nine In the party, which included Prof. Edgar L. LarkIn. of the Hearst newspaper service, who Is pre- pairing articles on this Valley for fifty different publications in the United States and Europe. There was also Mir. ]. H. Gllmour, of the San Fran cisco Call; Gerald P. Beaumont, of the Chronicle; F. Nj. Lltchfleld, San Francisco Examiner; H. s. Milton. of the Bulletin; w. H. Baker, of the Oak land Tribune; A. J. Wells and L. C, Sinnard, of the Sunset Magazine and Great Southwest and N. R. Martin, of the Southern Pacific. The party was in charge of L. c. Slnnard They came in from Yuma on the morning train and were driven up from lmperl- al in carriages arriving here about 1 o'clock. From here the, party went to the Corwin vineyard, four miles north west, returning in time for luncheon, which was served at the Hotel Fl Gen. tro. After partaking heartily of the roast wild duck so plentlfully supplied by Landlord Masten the party was talk en in charge by General Superintend- ent Paris, of the Hoton Power Co.,, who generously placed the Holtville Inter Urban railways automobile at their service for the remainder of their stay in the Valley. The party then went to Holtville and spent an hour or so visiting the points of interest and viewing the beautiful east side from the upper verandah of the Alamo Hotel. Returning to Fl Centro they proceeded at once to Calexlco. where they spent a short time and saw the chasm of New river, thus gaining good idea of the terrible floods which ragged through the valley last spring and summer. From Calexico the automobile brought the party back and carried them to Imperial. where they arrived about 7 oclock in the evening They were de- lighted with their visit and expressed the greatest appreciation of the auto mobile ride furnished them by the Holton Power Go. They left on the early train Wednesday morning

SOME CAMPAIGN METHODS

The subject of our caption is no doubt considered by many as a back number of the present time, as the voting is all over and the results known. The only reason we mention such subject at this time is to bring to light certain matters of moment to our people and to put some of our good citizens in possession of certain information. It is known that in lhe recent supervisorial contest the fight against MT. Webster was very bitter. The partisans of the Republican aud Democratic candidates were quite friendly to each other and ln the final showdown came very near all voting one ticket. But while they were working together en- deavoring to elect partisan they were bending every energy to de- feat Webster. Since the election many of them have refused to be- lieve the returns and have set about to find method of contest ing the election in case their can- didate was not counted in. There has been d stubborn refusal to accept the unofficial figures and an announced determiuatiO to throw out precincts that cast the heaviest votes for Webster and thus accomplish the seating of Hoffman. In an endeavor to stifle public indignation against such an outrage, the conspirators have calculated scandalous and libe1ous lies about MT. Webster, seeking to turn the public against him. The following letter from a we'll known and highly respect ed citizen of Calexico discloses the character of these reports: IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS:
 Some of us supporters of Mir.
 Webster have been railed at since
 the election and told that all the
 Prohibitionists in town voted for

overturn the will of the people
 and steal the supervisorship for
 their friend. Rumors that con-
 test would be made have been
 rife all the past week, the claim
 being made that one illegal vote
 had been cast at Silsbee, there
 fore all the legal votes should be
 thrown out. The schemers bold ly advanced the claim that an en- tire precinct could be thrown out if it could be shown that one il-
 legal vote was cast. The mak- CTS of this preposterous claim are as far from being right as they were when they consistently mis- represented the returns and claim
 ed the election of Hoffman. If there was any such law as that elections would be worse than farce, for interruptions candidates could always secure the casting of illegal votes in their oppon- ents' strongholds. Mir. Webster was elected by a good majority and the election;will stand. The attempt to rob him of his office bp first robbing him of his good name will fail and confusion ov- ertake the villianous pack that conspire against the public will.
 The question of the licensing of saloons or the prohibition of the liquor traffic was submitted to the voers of all the precincts in this country outside of the in- corporated cities at thel recent election. The complete vote in the county on this question has not been announced as yet, but it is known that all the precincts in this Valley voted for the eprohibi- tion. Thus is the high moral ideals of our cit13ens vindicated and the liquor traffic branded an outlaw, as it deserves to be. The people of our Valley are entitled to congratulations on this result and good people everywhere will think more of us for our stand on this question. There can be no question as to the wishes of the people of this Valley regarding the liquor traffic. They have al- ways voted for it's suppression and are opposed to its existence. It is to be hoped the justices of the peace and coLstables who were chosen in the Valley town ships for the forthcoming term will be mindful of the peoples will and enforce the law in the spirit demanded by the vote cast on that question. The business of liquor selling cannot exist un- less it has public sanction or off, fcial protection. The vote of the people proves it does not have public sanction. The people of this Valley have expressed their will. It is now opportune for the officials to heed it.

WHEN SULTAN DIES
REFORMS In ORDER
Europe Waiting for That Ger
tain EvcntuaIity.
Abdul Hamid Il An Old Man, With
Abused Stomach and Doctors
Have Given Him Up.
TO CONTEST FOR HIS THRONE.

,,ew York, June 21.-Various Or
CARNATIONS in Europe for promoting
reforms in the Turkish empire have
pooled their issues and interests and
have undertaken a new policy which
seems to be sensible and practical.
The leaders of the several movements
have recently got together, and after
thoughtful deIberatlon have decided
that It is better for them TO work in
anticipation of future events rather
than waste their energies on trying
to do something in the present.
Abdul Hamid is now Ga years Of
age. His health is very poor. The
physicians declare that he cannot live
much longer. and the succession to
the throne of the Ottoman empire
and the Khalifat of the Mohammedan
faith is likely to be a matter of vital
Interest at any time.
Under these circumstances the sew
eral organizations opposed to the pres
ent ruler OF Turkey have agreed to
combine their efforts in support Of
Mehemmed Reshad Effendi, who. ac-
cording TO Mussulman law. is the heir
apparent, and the legal successor OF
Abdul Hamid. But In direct viola
ton of that Jaw the sultan has nomi-
mated his fifth child and third son,
Mehemmed Durham Eddln Effendi,
and the nomination has been con
flrmei by the sheikh-ul-lslam, the
patriarch of the Moslem world. The
law expressly states that the eldest
living male member Of the family
shall be the successor to the throne
and the sultan has no right TO choose
HIS favorte son or name anyone else
to succeed him. Three of his brothers
and two of his elder sons stand be-
tween Mehemmed Burhsn and the
throne. This unlawful act gives
the revolutionary societies excellent
ground TO stand on, and an unanswer-
abe argument in favor OF Mehem-
med-Reshad.
