EXTRA SESSION.
Dramshop Regulation
Race Track Gambling
to be Suppressed.

jefferson City, Mo-, March 20.
AT I O'Clock this evening Gov
ernOr Folk issued a proclamation
convening the Legislature in spec
ial session Tuesday. April ..
Altho eight subjects are enumer-
ated in the cali, only one was
elected since the Governor first in.
dicated the matters he would pre-.
sent for legislation. That is to
provide an amendment to the
antirace- track law, with an e.ner-
gency clause. to prevent the regis
tering of bets on horse races by
telephone, telegraph or any other
devices.
The Governors action in max
ing this recommendation was due
solely to an intimation he has re.
ceived that an attempt will be
made to resume .he race track
gambling in st. Louis before the
amended antiracing law passed by
Senator Ely goes into effect about
the middle of June.
The Ely amendment covers
the ground exactly to suit the
Governor, but there is no emer.
gency clause attached to it. aud it
cannot become effective for ninety
days after March 16. II is said
that within half an hour after the
legislature adjourned word was
sent to the racing interests in st.
Louis from Hot Springs that rae.
ing would be resumed in st. Louis
this spring and continue until the
amended law should become effec-
tive. The charge is also made
that it was the intention OF the
racing element to teleph one OF
telegraph bets. from Missouri to
another State. to be registered d
aad thus avoid the cOnsequen cei
of the old law.
| Gov. Fold is not taking any
chances on the raee-track people
gambling methods under the ole
law. II can be amended. with an
emergency clause attached. and
passed by the Governor within 4
J week after the Assembly convenes

shall never be resumed while hl

serving one term as representa-

from now their names will be as
unfamiliar TO the average Nilsson
rian as are the names of the gen.
/, tlemen frat mentioned. Fnlker-
con may he remembered by some
as a whistler, and TindRll may be
remembered as q man who was
elected to congress before he had
ever seen an elevator or street
car, but not single one Or the
eight made an impress on legisla-
ton. Virtually their districts
have been without representation
during the time they were members
of congress.
Twice 10 thirty-fve years the
Republicans of Missouri have been
able to elect u majority OF the
states congressional delegation,
and both times they have elected
men who do not compare with the
average member of a state legisla-
ture. On the other hand the
Democrats have elected men Ia
congress who have made names
for themselves and added to the
fame Of the state. The contrast
between the men the two parties
have sent to congress is as stronl
as it could possibly be, and il
part explains the reason why Mis-
souri, has been, is now. and viii
be, Democratic for at least anOthe
generation.

Valley Looks Good to Them

A party of 25 Wisconsin people came into the valley early this week and after looking over the situation decided to locate here permanently. Most of them se- cured lots and tracts in and near Fl Centro and all have become residents of the town. Among them were Henry J. Burk, of Spooner, Wis, Ralph Brown, E. P. Baker, E. Loomis, A. w. Swanson, M. F. Burk, Mrs. Ella Ross and son. Mr. Swanson was for twenty years editor of the Royallton Banner published in Minnesota.
 MT. Henry J. Burk, a real es- tate dealer and land surveyor of wide experience is at the head of the party, most of whom came here on his representations. Mr. Burk was first here about four years ago. He made a second trip last June and has now come to remain. Hesa that in all his travels and experience throughout the west and middle west he has seen no country which offers the inducements and opportunities presented by Imperial Valley. He predicts a wonderful future for the new county and is so firmly convinced that it will progress rapidly that he wishes to identify himself with it at once. MT. Burk and Mir. Swanson will build homes in El Centro at once and it is ex- pected that several other mem bers of the party will build before the end of the winter.

sources of wealth which cannot be touched or affected to any considerable extent by outside influences. California's newest
 county has entered upon its ex-
 istence with every promise of
 future greatness and wealth. 1t is growing amazingly now and will continue to grow. In the meantime it is important to main- tain the spirit of confidence and determination which has already done so much toward overcoming the obstacles in the way of re- claiming the rich lands of the valley and forming the new coun- ty. Referring to the necessity for public confidence as related to the present situation the Sue cess magazine says: Good times depend not only upon the great laws of supply and demand, but upon the maintenance of public confidence. Fear and distrust are fatal enemies of confidence. The moment business men get scared and people begin to talk hard times, distrust spreads like wildfre. < Level-headed men say they see no real cause for alarm, but at the same time the perpet- ual suggestion which is being passed along influences them and they grow more cautious. Such a condition of things began with the recent investigation and prosecution of certain great com binations of capital. After the investigation the great concerns began to retrench and when the whole country caught the spirit of caution stocks began to drop business houses began to fall and the first we knew there was a sort of mental business panic, a condition wholly uncalled for, unwarranted. Crop prospects were most promising and the country at large was in a superb condition. The panic was mainly caused by fear and anxi- ety resulting from lack of conf- dence, general distrust of the fu- tllro

How to Cure a Cold

Be as careful as you can you will oc- casionally take cold, and when you do, get a medicine of known reliability one that has an established reputation and that is certain to effect a quick cure. Such a medicine is Chamber lain s Cough Remedy. It has gained a world wide reputation by it's remark able cures of this most common ail- ment, and lean always be depended upon.
 It acts on natures plan, relieves the lungs, aids expectoration, opens the se- cretions and aids nature in restoring the system to a healthy condition. During the many years in which it has been in general use we have yet to learn of a single case of cold or attack of the grip having resulted in pneu- monia when this remedy was used, which shows exclusively that it is a certain preventative of that dangerous disease. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy contains no opium or other narcotic and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. For sale by Fl Centro Drug StOrey

COLT SHOW AND INSTITUTES

Among the many enterprises which are helping to develop and build up Imperial Valley none is more important nor deserving of stronger support than the Farm CTS institutes and colt show which will be held in Fl Centro during the first week in December. These institutes will be the first step in an important and compre- hensive scheme on the part of the farmers and stock raisers to promote the agricultural and stock raising interests of the val ley. As outlined in the news columns of this issue of the Press a strong effort is being made to have a colt show which will at- tract the favorable attention not only of people in the valley but throughout California.
 Imperial Valley has the right climate and the right conditions for the raising of the finest hor- ses and cattle that can be pro- duced anywhere. It has excel lent pasturage, abundant water and best of all men whose knowl- edge and ability are excelled by none. The coming colt show will certainly be an exhibition worth coming many miles to see. Blood ed colts for draft and driving purposes will be shown that will amaze any who have not studied the conditions carefully. It will be a show that will be a credit to the valley and every stock raiser in the valley should give the com mittee his earnest support.
 It is all the more necessary that a large and representative gathering of farmers and stock raiSers be present on the occasion of the show and institute for the reason that at that time an effort will be made to form an agricul- tural association which will work on large scale to promote the agricultural interests of the val ley. Nowhere in the United States can a fair be held with so many varieties of fruits, vegeta- bles and farm produce of all kinds be shown in perfection as here. No other region shows greater promise as a horse, cattle and hog raising country. Therefore it is the duty of everyone to CO., operate with the members of the Imperial Valley Stock Breeders association and other leading farmers to make this enterprise as big and important as it ought to be. An annual county fair will accomplish wonders in creat- ing an interest in the valley and besides will be a source of great profit and enjoyment to the peo- pie of the valley who participate in it.
