VISITS PALo VERDE SCHOOL.

County superintendent J. B. Carr recently visited the Palo Verde school located in the far-off north eastern corner of Imperial county. He went by auto stage from Glamis, and reports that the two autos are having more passengers than they can han dle, and many persons are going over into the Palo Verde Valley. Superin- tendent Carr attended the closing ex- ercises of the Palo Verde school, and reports a successful school year there, with prospects that the attendance season will be largely increas- ed. There are two other Imperial county public schools in the Colorado River region--one at Picacho and one at Laguna Dam. Each of these has been visited officially by the super intendent.

cURloslTlEs OF ARCHERY.
In Penetration Test the Arrow Excels
 the Shotgun.

A few years ago it occurred to an English archer of scientific taste to apply to his bow and arrow the same kind of tests which are applied to shot guns He took eight of the pads used for gun tests, each pad consisting of 45 sheets of the strongest and tough est paper, tightly bound together by wire clips, and these pads fastened upon one another, he hung against the trunk of a tree The charge from 14-gauge shotgun, loaded with smoke less powder and 1s ounces of chilled No. shot, fired at a distance of ' yards, penetrated 36 sheets.
 Then taking a 65-pound bow-that is, bow which requires 65 pounds pressure to draw the arrow to the head, the archer shot an ordinary tar

Now, with the property paid for, his place ready for cultivating it, and weather which thus far promises yields which may break records, the farmer has favorable labor market. For years he has not been able to get labor Now he has his pick of 1t. He will doubtless cultivate a larger area than ever before because of these con ditions
 Everything else depends upon agri- culture. That is the basis of all the rest. It is not to be denied that trans portation conditions have been and are unsatisfactory. But the problem of the railroads getting money to car ry on their necessary improvement and expansion is behind us now. The good railroad properties can get the money they need, and will continue to get it."

s,., ecTIoN OF SOILS.

With the present somewhat inten- sive development taking lace in tJe Im trial, San Joaquin, Sacrame1 , and other portions of California, sa the Rural Californian, there is-a heal thy demand for land covering various purposes. ln the development and e4. ploitation of these agricultural and horticultural lands thousands of acre
 will be d' osed of to new corners .or tho prod ction of every sort of crop imaginable by booming real esta-e operators And it is right here tha
 we want to emphasize the fact that
 California has nearly every kind of soil from that which produces only tarantulas to that which grows all che famed crops of the gardens of the Hesperides. Much land has been, is, and will be planted to crops unsuitable to it for commercial purposes. All land in California is not fruit soil, neither is it ali suitable for garden truck, field crops, nor eucalyptus planting. Every soil will not produce the S3.OO per box Washington Navel orange, nor the $1,OOOOO per acre grapes. Know what you want to grow and then be careful in the selection of soil and a climate calculated to pro duce your crop. Land adapted to field crops has its values; so has land that grows the Washington Navel at it's best. Needless to add there Is also somewhat of divergence in price.

That prosperity has returned is the opinion of E. H. Hartman, who says: There has not been a spring in many years when the prospect for crops was better than now.

CHINESE NEWSPAPERS
IGNORE n FLEET.

Pekin, Oct. 31.-The presence OF
the second squadron of the American
battleship f1eet at Annoy, where the
officers and men are being entertain
ed by the Chinese government, is
hardly known in Pekin. The Chinese
newspapers say nothing of the visit,
and the occurrence is being complete
~ ignored both officially and other
wise so far as Pekin is concerned.
Fhe silence is the more remarkable
because the native press had during
the past few weeks given much space
to promoting h dea of an alliance
with the United States.

other Democrats now begin to realize
that a mistake was made by the party
in pledging the present city admins

warmer than the political contest
now going on throughout the nation.
