Tallahassee, Feb. 13.-COusiderabla
adverse comment seems to have BEEN
excited in certain quarters by the re-
fusal of the Hon. B. E. McLn, com.
missioner of agriculture to make pub.
tic the state Genus returns.
1t has been contended by soma oe,
Mr.. McLin's critics that these returns
are a public record and that, as
such, the public is justified in demand
ing access to them.
The commissioner, however, holds
that these census returns are not a
public record until completed, and
that in their present condition he has
nothing to give out.
AS a matter of fact, a large num-
Der of the returns from the several
counties Of the state have been sent
back to the enumerabors for cOrrec-
ton, while from three counties-Dade,
Orange and Escambia-no returns
whatever have been received.
Under circumstances such as thesa
it is obviously impossible for Com
missioner AEcLin to give out any com.
piete or satisfactory data as to thu
population or industries Of the state.
1t is estimated that year will be re.
quired to complete the entire census.
This is partly due to the fact that the
commissioner has been supplied with
nc additional clerical assistance, and
that the entire work of compilation
and revision devolves upon the agrb
cultural clerk Of che department.
In spite of all this, COMMISSIONS
McLin is making every effort to aet
the population returns in shape for
and these returns via
be made public as soon as they can
be revised and corrected.
So far as Escambia county IS con-
cerned, the destruction of the returns
by fire necessitates the repetition OF
the work. and it is much to be hoped
that the next legislature will see to IL
that the enumerator is adequately.
for the additional work
thrust upon him through no fault OF
his own.

within the statute, but avoiding allie
cations of a scandalous nature.
However, the conferences are not
for the purpose Of reconciliation as all
concerned, including the count and
countess and their lawyers, appear to
recognize the futility of any further
attempt to reunite the family.
The court has awarded the countess
temporary custody of the children and
by order OF the court the count is ex-
cluded from the house, separate DOM
iciles being awarded.
Count Boni expresses to his friends
his deep desolation over the affair,
asserts his continued affection for his
wife and children, pays the fullest
tribute to the wifely loyalty of the
countess and does not intend to file 9

 Mir. c. A. Nelson of Fl Centro spent last Sunday in Brawley.
 s. K. Halcomb shipped bushel of cucumbers to Los Angeles, Tuesday.
 Jack Murray left last Sunday for the North. He expects to be away for a year or so.
 Mir. and Mrs. Ernst, of Nevada, have been guests of W. F. Ernst of the Bum galow hotel.
 Jack Bennett is constructing giaift reservoir 20 feet deep of brick, for l.. M. Lyon, who will have Mecca artesian water brought here for drinking pur- poses during the cantaloupe season.
 NJ. D. Witter has been appointed by George J. Holloway to act as assistant secretary of Imperial Water company No. and will receive assessments dur ing Judge Holloway's absence during the cantaloupe season.
 George J. Holloway sold the first cu- cumbers of the season Saturday, selling them to Miss Nellie Pellets restaurant. At the time there were only hot house cucumbers on the market at Los Angeles and they were selling from $1.50 to g a dozen.
 w. c. Eaton, the Southern Pacific agent, arranged to leave early Sunday morning for days visit with his fami ly at Beaumont, where they are spend- ing the summer. He was depending on Mir. Reid, the telegraph operator at Inn perial, to come up and relieve him but Mir. Reid failed to hear the alarm clock so Mir. Eaton spent the day in Brawley.
 George J. Holloway has the honor of being the first cantaloupe shipper of the Valley, having already sent about two acres down to Salton Sea by way of New river. The river is strengthening it's channel and has damaged the Judges patch. This is not his 40 acre tract in which he takes so much pride but is the same field that yielded so heavily last year.
 George Wade and Miss Margie Ernst were united in marriage at 8 o'clock Sat urday morning by Rev. A. H. Greco.

 Lew Walch with the assistance of Mir. Cassleman is managing the boats be- tween here and O. V. Darling's place on New river. They are transporting sup plies from here to the dynamite camp on New river.
 Last Saturday Messrs. Ed. Redwood, Farnsworth, Gripper, Perry and George were here from Calexico. They took the trip to New river and report work progressing very favorable in cutting out the channel in New river.
 Every day we hear the continuous boom of the dynamite on New river west 2H miles and 1s mile south Of this place. The crew are to work about one and one-half miles south of the old crossing at the Storm's bridge. They have good sized channel opened up from that point and are at work now in the old New river channel above Ewens' dam. They expect in few days or not over one weeks time to get the work far enough along towards the old Indian Wells station to tap the inlet to Blue Lake, which means the draining of tlionsands of acres of land laying north west and south of this place.
