THE BANKS FURNITURE
Statements Made Msead Have No Foundation Wentworth
 Tool of the Push

We don't suppose that either the bank at Brawley or the bank at Fl Centro will particularly thank us for making excuses for their bank furni- ture, but lnasmuch as Wentworth likes so we'll to tell how these two banks have lodged taxes on this same furni- ture, 1t will not be out of place to say a few words Wentworth must certainly be very susceptible young man, for he seems to run right along and en- deaVors to recite whatever the push tells him. He Is practically new conner In the valley yet he tells on the stump all about how things have been done. Nov, in the matter of this bank furniture Wentworth says that in neither case did the banks at Fl Centro and Brawley pay as much taxes on their furniture as did the bank at Calexico. Then he dramatic ally points to the fine furnishings of these two banks and asks you to be- hold the contrast. Sounds pretty good from his standpoint, doesn't it3
 If Wentworth was an honest, con- sclentious man or minister he would soon find out the following facts, and would not go about falsifying by in'Ima- tlon
 The bank at Brawley used to be To- cated in that o.d dllapitated adobe building owned by F. C. Paulin. which by the way Is disgrace to the town of Brawley. The furniture in this bank was always of the very plainest and after the earthquake it was rendered practically worthless and if was this

Can't Help it, Probably

The editor of the Standard. the high priced hireling of the Imperial Push never misses an opportunity to com ment lpon the quality of the ice man ufactured at the Hoton Power Com panys plant at Fl Centro. Would anyone of the Imperial Push ' or the whole Push have had the nerve to rebuild this plant after the disastrous and destructive fire in August, 1900, with conditions as unsettled as they were last winter2 The distilling plant to be used in connection With the plant at Fl Centro was shipped by the Prick Company from Waynesooro Pa July l2th and will be installed at the earliest possible moment. That fearfully muddy Ice complained of by Howe is made of perfectly filtered water, water which passes through charcoal filters which are thoroughly cleansed at least once In every twenty four hours. This Ice in rinety nine cases out of every one hundred Is purer than the water in which 1t Is used. No Ice can be manufactured outside of Imperial or Los Angeles that will not sour on Howe's stomach but we must remember that man in hls present predlcament cannot be blamed for being 10th dyspeptic and a knocker.

WOODMfN ORGANIZE
w. 0. W. Camp Instituted Here With
 Bic Membership

Last week Friday night camp of the Woodmen of the World was or ganlzed at Fl Centro, with the ex- treme limit of charter members-fifty. H. C. Wofsen, district organizer, had only been working up the camp for a couple of weeks and this good showing has been exceedingly gratifying 10 him. In fact, he had been informed from the head camp that it was useless to try to get up lodge in the Imperial Valley, inasmuch as what was by them supposed to be the leading town-lm- perial-had a camp once which had to be abandoned 1t was no won- der tt at 1t was with considerable pride Organizer Wolfsen teIegraphed the head camp which was In session at Seattle, that he had instituted the Fl Centro camp with fifty strong and still had fifteen to go on. The people of this section do things when tbey start its the spirit that's in the town.
 It is expected that the Ladies of Woodcrat will organize here in the near future.
 Several old members of the w. o. w. are in the valley and they are get ting ready to send for their transfer cards and will soon come into this camp. The following officers were elected for the ensuing term:
 w. E. Cox. past counsel.

 Defeat County Division.

matter of fact, if the Southern Pacific company should name every officer in the new county-and it did not name even one-it would not be in better control of the new county than it is of San Diego county at the present mo- ment. Holding this in view-the at- titude of Imperial can have but one object-the dog in the manager policy to throw hardship upon the people be- cause it cannot secure the county sat.
 The Standard admits that it has been licking the hand of it's master, the California Development company, in the following words; "He (the editor) wanted them to feel that they had a friend in the Standard of whom they could ask any favor in it's power to grant" It has been long suspected that there was an alliance between Im- peria and the California Development company, for the abject slavishness of of the attitude taken by the former could have but one interpretation. To have this at last acknowledged is some satisfaction to the people of the Inn perial Valley.
 In fact there is good reason to be- lieve that the present attitude taken by the Standard and certain other citizens of Imperial who have been closely affiliated with the c. D. Co. is simply the result of a tactic understand ing with the corporation, in order that F. J. Cole, of Holtville, nominee for supe"ior judge, whom the corporation is fighting. may be defeated@ and a resi- dent of Imperial, now on the stump for the same position, may be elected.
 By bringing up the alarm of corpora tion control, it is thought that Mir. Cole may be defeated, or if not, then county division may be postponed until more propitious occasion.
 In this scheme can be found the cause for the sudden change of heart, and the new warcry adopted by thd Imperial push. As for the ticket nomi-N mated at the convention, on the whole 1t consists of men as well qualified for the positions as can be secured. Braw- ley's nominees are men representative of those selected from the remainder of the valley. They certainly are not under corporation influence, neither are the others.
 Imperial has selected all independent ticket, consisting largely of men de- feated in the convention, and the cor poration cry is simply the working of a piece of politics in order to elect it's own officers instead of those selected by the valley as whole, a sheet anchor being kept out that county division may be defeated, if necessary.

furniture the bank paid taxes on The same furniture sold either at auction or private sale would not bring ihe amount of money as what was paid out in taxes on the same.
 The furniture in the Fl Csntro bank consisted, before the bank moved to It's present quarters of one home made tabls, one dry goods box and sort of counter made of pine boards. This furniture could not have been sold al any price The home made table was given away and practically represents the entire value of the bank furniture upon which taxes were paid. No douot the Valley State Bank would be willing to buy it back and let Mir. Wentworth have the same for the amount of taxes paid upon {.
 We only mention this to show our readers how ridiculous Wentworth has made himself by desertlng his pulpit to become the tool of the push Why did not this man tell that the value of the furniture of the Calexco bank was turned in by the same man as was that of the furniture of the other two banks and thls fact alone shows how Illogical the man is. Ifthere had been a disposition on the part of the man. agement of the two banks to mlsrep- resent the value of property, he would have done so in the other case. Ap- ropes to this is the remark of a Sils- bee man who heard Wentworth. He said: ''I4e just jumped up and down and holered, but didn't say thing worth listening to-.

Imperial, realizing that 1t IS beat has been at work for some time past to devise ways and means as to best get around bad mess.
 It Is customary for the bully to always furnish an excuse for having gotten licked, so in this case 1t was fully expected that Imperial would come forth with some excuse for some of the things it had done and was going to do in the future. Now, here comes a bug-a- boo about three big corporations working for another town, but we would particularly cali your attention to the statement they make that they would rather have all the ambitions of Imperial buried under the sea than have the valley come under the despotism of allied corpora tions
 In the first place there are no allied corporations, but the statement that there are is simply paving the way for Imperial to back water Shes beat and the push knows it. and unless the push can make the people believe some of their villianous lies the town will stay beat. The push is at the present time afraid that the lies will not be believed and tpey are now ready to pass the word to their followers to vote against county division. They know that if the county division does not carry that there will not be any county seat, ana 1t will give them a chance to fight the battle over again in the future.
 The trickery of the push and their evident intent is clearly seen by Edi- tor Witter of the Brawley News, upon which he editoriallzes as follows:
 CLEVER TRICKERY
 Under the guise af attacking the ticket named by the recent county con- vention, the Imperial Standard is be- lieved to be paving the way to a state ment that rather than suffer the domi- nation of the Southern Pacific com pany, the California Development com pany and the Holton Power company in the new county, it would be better to vote down county division at the Aug ust election.
 The unhappy plight of the new coun- ty is pictured in terms of the most mournful hue. Dark indeed IS the future according to it's statements. As

General Alikanom was one of the
most greatly feared men in the coun-
try. He had hunted men, women and
children from their homes during his
excursions into the riotous districts
and there was every reason to ex-
! pect his assassination, but he was
also a brave man and went about
publicly without the usual safe
guards. He made 1t his boast that
he feared no man or any other liv-
ing creature.
That the woman was killed and
the young man and woman injured
was due to their presence with the
hated general and to no intention on
the part of the bomb thrower &c
harm them, is the belief of the po-
lice.
