Tawney said he was greatly sur
prised at the statement of Col.
Goethals that in consequence of the
inadequacy of the appropriations to
meet expenditures it had become me-
cessary to lay off thousands of men,
and was even more surprised at the
reported opinion by the attorney gen.

apportioned to certain periods, which
apportionment could mot be waived

Soon, with the noise of firearms and
shouts of the womans rescuers, the
lion turned and walked few feet
away, and sinking down upon the
ground, he turned over on his back,
and with a few kicks and gasps he
died.
His skin was completely riddled
with small calibre bullets that had
been fired at him and took effect. The
shot that caused his death was among
the first fired, that of the 3S-calibre
revolver used by Chief Downing when
he first appeared on the scene.

THt PRESS AND THE FUTURE

Ii is expected that the Imperial Val ley and its towns will take such steps forward this fall and winter and in the next year that the dreams of the most hopeful will be more than realized and just now it will be opportune to say a few personal words 10 the readers of the IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS:
 In the future. as in the past, this pa per intends to keep foremost among the papers of the valley. It holds to- day practically an independent field. lnasmuch as it Is valley paper and is recognized by Its large list of sub scribers as the only paper which does. actually print the important news and records the progress of all the towns and districts of the famed Imperial Valley. In this respect plans have been perfected to insure not only a continuance. but betterment of this service. Plans are also being laid at the present writing to make Of the Press a better and larger paper Ev- erythine now is practically in readiness to meet any demand in improvement at any time. The Press will always keep abreast of the times and will con- tlnue to be valley paper.

For More Harmony

The time is approaching when we expect the home-seeker to come within our borders ID lar ger numbers than in the past. The home-seeker and home-mak- CT is to be sought after and a first good impression should be his. It's the real hOme-maker that is going to make the new Imperial county famous among the counties of California. It is the home-maker that we need now. We need him to grow more produce for shipment to eastern markets; we need him to grow more alfalfa to produce more cream for our dairies; to build homes and to increase our population.
 To best impress this new  conner we must become a harmon ious people; we must work to- gether for the upbuilding of our county. It seems to be perfectly natural for all the towns of the Imperial Valley to be proud of their particular advantages, and if you will, please, look over the several towns you will observe that each oue has some grounds for this feeling of pride. And this pride is legitimate, too. lt puts enthusiasm and industrious ness into the people as nothing else will do, and these attain ments are helpful, eleyatingi they are stepping stones to prog ress and perfection Let every man and woman possess enthusi- asm and industry.
 But these qualifications SC helpful to any and every town, county or community, should not be carried to such an extent that

A County Without The "MaChine''

Times.
 A County Without The Machine" From the San Diego News
 The people of the wonderland over the mountains have for local government purposes cut themselves adrift from the coastal portions of San Diego county and by the vote cast on Tuesday of last week Imperial County is in existance with El Centro selected as the seat of government and with SuperviS- ors and officials elected to ad- minister the affairs of the county.
 Claiming to be a genuine friend of the Valley, The News desires to congratulate the peo- pie on one thing, that of their determined intention, whatever their internal dissensions might be to keep their magnificent district and themselves free from the hateful, dishonest and un- American maneuVeringS of the cursed machine in their local politics. We say un- American because, although this country is now in the hands of the ma chine, this creature of rotten ness with it's freedom destroy ing influences and slimy octopus grip on all things political had no place in the minds of the framers of the constitution of which all Americans and ad- mirers of America are justly proud. The machine we believe has now got to point when the good sense of the American people again asserting itself will canse them to say Enough, we have determined to govern at least our local affairs without this hateful thing.
 Like the voice of the one of old crying in the Wilderness comes the voice of the people of this new county preparing the way for the coming of a system of government of the people by the people and not by the ma chine. The citizens of the I'm perial Valley come from every State in the Union. They have watched the rise and growth of this system of government by bosses who posses wealth, power, interruptions cunning
 everything but political honesty and when the time came for these citizens who have built up new homes in this new country to set about governing them selves, they remembered the doings of the political machine and they decided that it would have no place with them. The new Imperial Valley county is non-partisan pure and simple, Neither supervisors nor officials owe any allegiance to anyone excepting the people.
