BIG ATTENDANCE
In San Bernardino Bushes College Many Preparing for Civil Service

The enrolment in the San Bernardino Business College this fall is already the largest in the history of the school and others are entering from all parts of Cal. and adjacent states. Prospects now are that the attendance this season will be more than twice that of last year Students are enrolled from all parts of Cal, and half dozen other states.
 Two years ago the attendance of this school was limited almost entirely to a local patronage. Today it is one of the best known and most widely patron ized business colleges in the West monument to what skill and enterprise can do.
 This is the only school in Cal mak itg speciality of coaching for the U. S. Civil Service and assisting young people to secure Govt. positions, -ex- aminations for which are held here.
 The Tightening Legible Shorthand is taught here by it's author in half the time and for half the cost of the old systems. One may also study any one of Is other systems here.

His Time For Drinking.

In the days of river driving on the Kennebec river in Maine old Uncle Jim Gilbert was a well known character. He was hale and hearty and had an enormous appetite. The men used to come down the river with drive of logs and get a meal at a tavern ill Augusta. One morning, arriving late and with appetite sharpened, old Un- cle Jim sat down with the first set of men and ate diligently during the time these men made a meal. A new set of men came and still Uncle Joe ate steadily. A third set came. and the tavern keeper, becoming alarmed, tried to hurry up the protracted meal by saying, Better drink your coffee, un- cle, and have another cup"
 "No," said the old man. Il never drink till I'm half through!'-Boston Herald.

 Imperial, Cal. Sept. 30, 1907
 Editor Press:
 I have just read with much pleasure your editorial on It's Six or a Half Dozen. You have stated the matter just as l have done to Howe and others here ever since that association was organized, but How's slogan IS to do something to keep things stirred up. Well he is doing 1t. You are right; no rancher who has acquired his holding honor ably and in accordance with the law, and is now so holding 1t, has anything to fear from the govt or from land jumpers, but it is the big ranchers who don t feel safe and who are putting the small ones forward to do the bowling for them. But the little ones are getting wise. Some have alredy come tc the conclu- sion that they are aiding what really appears to be an Imperial Valley Settlers Graft Protective Association. Watch the assign ments. transfers and leases now. After being idle for long time, a portion of the Keystone ranch owned by the Heber's was rent ed a few days ago. They own more than oOOO acres III the Val ley. Now is the time to sound the slogan that will make I'm perial Valley the richest place on the continent: Imperial Valley shall and must have a large num- Der of small ranches, not a small number of large ranches.
 Now as to hogs. We have two kinds in the valley, one kind the four-legged ones, are a boon to the valley; the other kind, the two-legged ones, are injurious to it. Yet both are land hogs. It's just the way you look at it.
