COUNTY DIVISION

J we know, no opposition to county division. There is however a decided difference of opinion among people of the valley as to when is the proper time to form the new county. Some desire it as soon as possible, which means next August. Some desire a date in October and still others think we should wait until the resurveys are finished and more patented land added to our tax able property. Personally we prefer the middle course-a coun- ty division election about Octob- CT. We believe that ordinary fairness requires that no0election be held at time when one fourth to one third of the voters are out of the valley on their summer va cation. A full vote Is desirable from every standpoint and there is no such urgent reason for haste as requires an election be- fore the cool weather sets in. Besides the new county gets none of the old county property or funds except road and school dis trict funds and the taxes for the current year which are usually paid tLe first half in NOvem Der and the second half in May. An August election would mean that the new county muct SubSlSt for three months on thin air-where- as with an October election the expense and the coin to meet It would come in at the same time. As to further postponement of county division until there IS more taxable property we believe the benefit to be derived will more than offset the additional taxa tiOn made necessary.
 However we do believe that we are not authorized to decide this question for the valley ank that the voters shonld be allowed to express their opinions at precinct caucuses or some other sappropri- ate manner as to when they de- sire county division. They should be allowed to do this be- fore the county division petition is presented and unless even the self appointed committee that has delegated to itself the role Of au- thority to manage the county di- vision campaign ought to recog- nize the wisdom of allowing the voters to express their opinion in the matter and the wishes of the ma jority should be followed.

The forming of a new county before October means that the government of such county will have to be conducted without funds until after October, when taxes will begin to be paid. It is not to be presumed that the people of this valley are willing, after all the trouble to which they have been subjected, to be in such a hurry as to rush into an election for division and create a new county before there is a chance to secure the money for ordinary running expenses. Why start off with any more of de- hcit than is necessary? By all means a new county and by all means S county when the money is ready to run it. The Press is only voicing a large number Of tax payers of the Imperial valley in this matter who have already foreseen such a dilemma. No one putting forth this argument for an election not earlier than October thinks of trying to ob- struct a movement toward a new county, but it is difficult to get enthusiastic over proposition to hasten the matter and bring 1t to a vote in the extreme hot weather.

even tho every voter in the val- ley had been asked to attend the meeting at Imperial, Thursday, and all had been present, it IS safe to say there would not have been a half dozen dissenting voices. Under those circum- stances 1t is hard for many peo- pie to understand why a meeting of this kind should have been called in the manner this one was called.
 Answers to the question why it is desired to hold an election for county division during the hottest time of the year and when it would be practically i'm possible to poll more than fifty five or sixty per cent. of the reg istered vote, are very weak, com pared to the injustice that is be- ing done. Just why it should be the wish of the promoters of this meeting to be in such a stew to try and force the election before fall is not universally appai ent.
 Why not have the election in the fall of the year, say October or November and then every farm CT and every business man who is the most vitally interested by reason of being d tax payer can the easier have vote upon the matter. To determine what steps should be taken in the matter a meeting has been called at this place for next Wednesday after noon, May Sth, at 2 o'clock. This is not prearranged meeting. Everyone is welcome and nc voices will be squelched. All parts of the proposed new county are included in this invitation. By this time all the people will have thought the matter over and will be prepared to give an ex, press1on as to when they would like to have the election take place

ADMITS CAR SHORTAGE.
Northern Pacific Official Says Com
pany Is "Doing Its Best.

North Yakima fruit men are conf
planning strenuously of a car short
age of cars and declare that the pres
sure has reached the point when they
think intercession by the state rail-
road commission must again be ask
ed, says the Yakima Republic. Such
good results were achieved by the
former appeal to the commission that
1t is considered good judgment to
again have recourse to the same
means of relief.
John r. Ryerson, agent here of
the Northern Pacific railroad, when
asked this morning concerning the
car shortage, said: Eyes there is a
shortage. We are doing the best we
can, however. We expect to get all
the cars needed"
Shippers say that the shortage has
existed for 10 days. They were pa
tient, they say, when told that there
were cars behind the wreck of a
week ago at Stampede, but the wreck
has been cleared up, all trains are
running through and still there are
no ears forthcoming.
The excuse, they think, was per.
haps a good one for the time, but the
time has passed and the railroad IS
treating them no better than it wa'
before the wreck.

CAMPBELL PLEADS FOR THE UNIVERSITY

lowing to the invoking of the ref
erendum on the university appropria-
ton. the university is now on basis
of about s5S.000 income, of which
S475OO comes from the state and ap-
proximately $1O.5O0 from interest
bearing funds and incidental fees.
The income for the past two years
has been in the neighborhood OF
S75. 600 per year for maintenance, ex-
elusive of building funds, through
special appropriation of the legisla-
ture TO 1906. The deficiency of $1S'-
600 for the present year is borne by
the faculty, whose salaries have been
reduced by a fourth in order to take
II up. the board of regents having no
mower to contract indebtedness.
.'The salaries were already low
ranging from $500 to $4,000 for the
instructional force. But one salary
was in excess OF $4,000, that of 49,
600 to the president of the university
Less than a fourth of the salaries
we're above $1,000. The range was as
low as that Of any state university
and is at present much lower than
anv other As to the number OF
teachers. the university is on a MINI
mum basis for the work required 10
to he done. A number OF depart
ments' have not yet been supplied
With professors. notably the depart
ment of geology, which has oeeh
vothout a head since the resignation
Of DR.. Condor some three years ago
The university badly needs a dormi-
tory for women. which should IN IL
self cost not less than $4,000. Ihe
Agricultural college recently very
wisely put sS5,OO0 into a woman s
building. Additional recitation
buildings are also seriously needed
Very Smallest Tax.
The entire $125,00O will mean only
one fourth of a mill, or 20 cents on
the $1,000 of this years state valua-
ton. The average taxpayer. whose
children will be free to avail them-
selves Of the advantages of the uni
versity without charge or tuition, VIII
never feel the light burden of uni
versity tax
The public schools, he said, GER
tainly will not be hurt by it. 1t is
too inconsiderable an amount to the
individual, and 1t is certainly true on
the other hand, that the entire pub
lie school system will be greatly
stimulated by the wholesome intlu-
ence of a well-equipped university
When Jefferson planned a system Cf
public education in Virginia he began
by establishing the University OF Vir-
gina. to be the principal source OF In
1uence for the development of the
common schools.
The speaker believed that. although
the movement for the referendum
took its rise with some members OF
the grange, it is not true that the
state grange, nor perhaps the ma
jority Of the local oranges, are
friendly to It. The movement was
wholly one of individuals.
The speaker brought out the fact
that there Is no dry classicism In the
Oregon university method, and no
ground for criticism of 1t on the score
Of higher educational tendency. The
student who enrolls has his own
choice of studies and may elect to fit
himself for any special line of USE
fulness to society He closed with a
strong appeal to the public on behalf
OF the Oregon student, who, he de-
clared, is the peer of any in the ma
ton.

blazing with light that Illuminated
the whole room. The woman came to
the canvas with several younger wom-
en-, apparently her children. All stood
with rapt attention before the work Of
art, contemplating the light effects and
the beautiful shadows. One Of the
