After the marriage of Edna May,
the beautiful American actress, to Os-

millionaire, at the registers office at
Windsor, England, the couple went to

groom had prepared for his bride
There, shortly after their arrival, they
were photographed standing together
on the porch, handsome pair In a

Success Than Has Material.
J Pipes are smoked by millions, and
always will be, yet not one smoker In
a thousand knows the elements of a
good pipe. Engineers have been known
to talk by the hour over the draft of
their fire boxes and never once in half
a lifetime think of the draft In their
pipes which they smoke hourly.
Sage attention Is paid to the pipe
material. all of which has little If any
thing to do with the qualities of pipe,
and generally nothing whatever Is
thought Of shape and proportions, the
two things that make a pipe good or
bad. A two-cent postage stamp spent
with intelligence will buy as good
pipe as there is in the world; every
thing added to that price is ornament,
vanity and especially ignorance.
The corncob holds a high place
among pipe smokers and deserves this
ually-for the best OF scien-
tific reasons. When pipe is built on
right principles the bowl is as narrow

1t was the first of March. A glorious
fresh, mild morning, the sky a bright,
cloudless, sunny blue, the sea a mirror in
which was reflected another heaven. At
the window of the western turret Of
Penrhyddyn Castle, where we first saw
him as a boy, sixteen years ago, sat
Arthur Penrhyddyn, gazing thoughtfully
upon the landscape. But his thoughts
were not with the objects before him,
but with the dark, melancholy past, with
the shadows of the grave. ae had in his
hand miniature of Eleonore and his
eyes were dim with tears. He knows
nothing of the strange retri5utive disease
that had disfigured her; nothing of her
last awful crime; nothing of her death.
Through the softening haze of time she
appears to him, craving forgiveness for
the sake of love. Deep down in the re-
cesses of his heart fingers the passion of
his youth. and no woman has ever vet
superseded the image of the beautiful
creature to whom he first gave his love.
Will it ever be otherwise? Will the
portals of his heart ever open to the pure,
ennobling affection of true woman? Or

Water Company Management

Considerable wire pulling is being done by men who are anxious to become prominent in the management of the business of Water Company No. 1.
 1 am a farmer who has no aX to grind and no desire to mix in county seat poli- tics, and it seems to me that in endeav- bring to gain advantage for either El Centro or Imperial the welfare of waterusers has become a secondary consideration.
 The prosperity of all the towns de- pends on the farming interests, and the success of these interests rests upon the proper supply, distribution, and use of water.
 The facts are so evident that to call attention to them would be unneces- sary, except that sentiment and politics are now swaying the nominees for di- rectors in the forthcoming election. Instead of asking whether candidate for director favors Fl Centro or Inn perial as a place to sell his products and purchase his supplies, the question should be whether or not the man is able and honest.
 A candidate for director should be a man respected and trusted by his neigh bors, man who resorts to no subter- fuge to evade the payment of his just debts. Should not honesty and de- cent regard for the truth be consid- cred necessary qualifications for every candidate who may reasonably hope to get the votes and support of his neigh bOrs? Together with honesty should be combined good business ability. A. mong the stockholders of No. l are many careful, able, and successful farmers, men who stand as good busi- ness men in any community in which they might locate, and men of this char acter should be chosen directors.
 Every manwhose heart is in the right place rejoices in the prosperity of the men who came in with nothing and hon estly made good, but the continued prosperity of all classes of farmers de- bends to a great extent upon the char acter of the incoming board. No. l can afford no experiments. The best men should be elected without refer ence to locality. The fact that a man lives in the right place should count for nothing unless he is the right man. 37-38 WATER USER.

HEAD UNDER THE HAT

Circumstances Overlooked by The
 William Tell of Mesquite Lake
 It is doubtful that William Tell would have acquired an immortal reputation as a fancy marksman if he had attempted to show off before the tyrant Gesler and talk en a shot at the apple with a scatter gun. Luckily for Will liam, and more luckily for the boy, the Swiss had refrained from inventing shotguns up to the period of the patriots cele- brated archery stunt.
 Mr. James Owens, of Mesquite Lake, is something of a Wild West shootist, but he made rath- CT a bad mess of his imitation of William Tell last Sunday. MT. Owens proclaimed his ability to perform remarkable feats with a gun, and MT. E. Sturgill scoffed at his skill, intimating pretty
Imperial Valley press., 1907-12-28

plainly that Mir. Owens could not hit a barn if he were inside with closed doors.
 'I can shoot the hat off your head" boasted MT. Owens.
 Huh! You can't hit nothing. Bet the drinks you don't hit my hat" and Mir. Sturgill showed his sombrero back to offer a tempting mark.
 You're on," rejoined MT. Owens, and forgetting that a shotgun has a propensity to take in quite a scope of country, he threw up his gun and blazed away.
 Mir. Sturgill lost the bet and also a piece of his skull, to the great chagrin of the marksman. There was head under the hat, and shotguns do scatter to beat the band.
 The surgeons have hopes of SturgilPs recovery, and the Will liam Tell of Mesquite Lake is do- ing as well as could be expected.

SCHOOL FUNDS
Part Payment By San Diego to
 Imperial County
Unexplained Hold-Out of Road and General Fund and Money Due to the State. Apportionment of Mon- ey to School Districts.

County Treasurer Roman has received from San Diego, and slowed away in a safe that looks like the breech of a fourteen-inch gun, sack containing S16, 765. .59 in coin. This is the apportioned school money due the school dis tricts of Imperial County, and the districts can now pay teach ers' salaries and other obligations so far as the money goes. Ap- portionment to the general funds of the districts is as follows: AL amo S51. .62; Brawley $253. 34; Ca lexico S97.38; Central $33. 32; Colorado S52. Al; East Side $52. A; Elder $154.29 Heber $500. 99; Holtville $74.6S; Imperial $848. 67; Jasper S5.24; Silsbee $135. .66; Spruce $19.27; Sunset Valley 81 cents; High School $1298. .73. In addition Brawley gets $115.22 special fund, $4O5. bond and sinking. Calexico gets $838.1 bond and sinking fund. Fl Gen. tro S418. 70 special fund and $3.9 building fund. Holtville $1494. "A building fund, $1O1. 35 bond. I'm perial, $373.73 special, $,540O building and $2626.85 bond and sinking. Silsbee, $29.14 build ing, S1O8O. 79 bond. The old dis tricts get an aggregate of $46O.- 22in library funds. The new dis tricts do not share in this money.
 For reasons not given, San Di- ego still holds out S6,976, due to Imperial County according to the report of the Commissioners. Of that amount $722.2 is unappor- toned school money, S1, 834.81 belongs to the road fund and S4, 418.97 to the general fund. San Diego also retains $1, ,265. AT due to the State. No explanation of the hold-out has been given, and there appears to be no reason for treating the roads and general funds differently from the school fund. The State Controller ask ed Treasurer Roman why the amount due the State had not been forwarded, and the Treasur- CT replied that it was locked up in San Diego. What the Con- troller said about the action of San Diego was not intended for publication.
