FOR JUDGE OF THE SUPERIOR COURT

By announcing his retirement from the field as a candidate for the Superior Judge District Attorney Esheman ceue the political stuation insured united Republican action and strengthened his own position in his party It Will be remember ed to Mr. Eslemans credit and advantage later that he aside his personal ambition and interests when he saw that his candidacy might embarass his friends and comPc9e party affairs He is young and opportunities lie ahead o nm
 This Tenuncaon by Mr. Esheman leaves simple clearly de fined situation and reduces the contest to test o the relative strength of a corporation and the settlers , - ,, h
 1t is probable that the Superior Court ot this county may pc called to appoint receiver for the California DeV90p men Company whose complicated entangemen are not not % h y to be untanged otherwise and it known that efforts have been made to induce candidates for Judge to indicate named by the company The California Development Company has it's own candidate for Judge but likely that representing Republicans of Imperial County would permit corporation whose affairs are sure to be subJecs o litigation, to select the Judge of the Superior Court

 Nobody will dispute seriously the assertion that the people ot by Judge Cole and strongly in favor of retaining
 him in his place for at least full term and giving him far opportunity to make record as judicial officer that will be crediable to him in his profession.
 The large majority of Republican voters in this county is sympathy with the notions that all corporations have covn hoo and incapable of doing anything that laud able in the interest of the public It not hostile to the California Development Company whose relations to the set of Imperial Valley necessarily intimate But there is

Railroad managers object to the Interstate Commerce Com missions order that all their tariffs shall be posted in public places and say they would have to hire halls to have room for all the display. Railroad rate sheets are devised, not to convey information, but to make it as difficult as possible for anyone to discover what the tariff is or how it is calculated. Easing the charge upon the true cost of service instead of upon the value of freight is too simple and plain a plan to commend itself to these mysterious geniuses who make the tariff puzzles.

People outside of Imperial Valley are more perturbed than the farmers of the valley over the fasco made by distributors of the cantalOupe crop. There has been so much talk about cantal0upes that many persons have come to believe that we grow nothing else down here and have gone broke on melons. The cantaloupe crop is only one of the frills on Imperial Valley agriculture, and the growers have forgotten to talk of their losses.

ARGUMENT FOR TAX ON LOCKS
Eminent Lawyers Appear Before the
Supreme court.

The suit OF the state of Oregon
against the Portland General Elec-
trio company to compel the latter to
render an accounting OF and turn
over 10 per cent of the amount OF
tolls received from the locks at Ore
gon City was argued at length before
the supreme court here yesterday.
Attorney General Crawford. who
appeared with Judge w. p. Hord for
the state. argued that according to
the terms of the legislative act, which
granted the 100000 for the build
ing OF the locks, that the 10 per cent
should be paid and that at the end
of 20 years the state was TO have
had the right to purchase the locks.
He called attention TO the omission
In the brief OF the defendant to any
claim that the Willamette Falls &
Locks company, the original company
controlling the locks, should not have
had to pay the percentage. craw-
ford dwelt strongly on the error Of
the defendant In assuming through
out the entire case that the locks
and river were In the nature OF a
constructed highway. whereas the
river is a natural highway and not
an asset of the company.
The defendants main point. as
brought out by Attorneys Frederick
V. Holman and Writ Minor. was that
they were not responsible for the
failure OF their predecessors, the VII.
lamette Falls Canal a Lock company
and the Willamette Falls Canal a
Transportation company. TO pay over
their share OF the tolls; also. that no
claim had been made that they had
the books OF those two companies in
their possession. Attention was cali
ed TO the number OF legislatures and
officials who had passed through Of
ice and never demanded this percent
age.
