THE DUCK PEST
Valley Farmers Fight Birds to Get
 Grain Crops Started.

Wild ducks are giving some of our farmers a merry run for their money. On Farmer Coons' place a few days ago thousands of them could have been seen eagerly devouring the new sown grain. The grain growers in the vicinity of Sflsbee also are complain ing. Mr. Hams owns something like two hunrded acres six or eight miles southwest of Fl Centro. He has ir- rigated eighty acres of his place and planted barley. Before the grain had hardly sprouted the ravenous and half starved wary bird was on the scene, ready for action.
 Unless the valley farmers get to- gether and exterminate this pest, they might as we'll cease trying to raise grain. The solution of the duck prob lem is up to them.-Holtville Tribune.

Engelcke and Mr. Garfield report, says the San Diego Union, that work is progressing rapid ly. '1f it was not for the railroad gangs" said Inspector Garfield, it would seem pretty dead in that sec ton of the country. The surveyors and also laborers are also hard at work. We passed several camps along the road and teams and gangs of men connected with this work almost ev- cry two miles up through the Jacumba and Carriso sections"

SPANISH SCHOOL.
Ambitious Plans for Institution at
 MexicaIi Approved.

Prof. Leopor de Kiel, director of normal branches of public instruction of the Mexican government, has given his indorsement to plans for the build brick building to cost about $16,000 in gold is to be erected and instruc- tors are to come from the City of Mexico to take charge of the estab- lishment There are ambitious plans to make this something more than an ordinary public school. It is expected says the CaleXico Chronicle, that pro- vision will be made for training of teachers for school work in the sister republic; there will be various phases of industrial instruction, and the teaching of fine Mexican drawn work and other fancy needlecraft will be made feature which it is hoped will interest numerous American patrons. It is also believed by the> promoters of the school that an institution of this kind, where the environment will be that of a foreign country, and where the teaching of Spanish will be made speciality, will prove attrac- tive to many who wish to acquire the Spanish language, and that the school will draw largely from Southern Cali
 fornia. There are about 100 pupils of school age in MeXicali at present.

PINEAPPLEs AND BANANAS.
Mexican Consul Making Experiments
 In Fruit Growing at MexicaIi.

Senor Manuel Cuesta, Mexican Con sul stationed at Calexico, has plans maturing for series of experiments at Mexicali, just across the interna- tional line, to demonstrate the fitness of the soil and climate for raising pineapples, bananas and Smyrna figs The Calexico Chronicle says Senor Cuesta has experimented on a small scale in this line and within a few weeks will have experimental gar dens installed at the Mexican town, which give promise of becoming one of the show places of the Imperial Valley. N
 Consul Cuesta is convinced that a highly profitable industry in the grow ing of bananas and pineapples can be developed in the Mexican territory, and that the growing of beniquen or sisal hemp, will also prove a source of much profit. He has samples of fiber and rope manufactured from it produced near here which he claims is superior to much of the fiber now on the market. Another feature of Senor Cuesta's experimental garden will be an attempt to mature coffee plants.

Money In Peppers and Onions.

"I should think" says MT. Barnes, wholesale commission dealer of San Diego, "that the farmers of this coun- ty would raise more of the green bell peppers, which just now are in such good demand, and which are selling at 10 and 12 cents per pound They grow like weeds where there are no frosts, and it seems to me that the farmers of this section would do well to grow more onions. Some of the finest ones coming to this mar ket are from the Otay mesa. There is money in them. As it is, we have to bring onions half way across the continent. I should like to see more home-raised onions"

The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-02-13
THE NATIONAL PRoH1B1T1oN1sT

1t must be admitted that those who vote
locally for the outlawry of the saloon should
logically vote for its outlawry generally Local
optionists, in short, should be state and national
Prohibitionists. But the experience of every
state in the Union which has had local option
laws have proven the contrary. If Georgia and
Alabama cited to prove the contrary, it should
be remembered that other causes controlled there
which made them go from local option to state
Prohibition in spite of, not because of, local OPP
ton.
Sentmentally your local optionist is a Pro-
hibitionist: practically he is too often per-
petuatonist. Whatever good bad or indifferent
policies the Democratic and Republican parties
have been responsible for in governments
state and national, it must be admitted that both
have kept and still keeping the policy of regu
1ation, perpetuation for revenue, of the liquor
traffic in government If this be true, and
| challenge denial, how Democratic or Re-
publican voter voting mo" to the saloon in his
local special election and .'yes.' to the liquor
traffic in every general election hope to success
fully eradicate the evil from his own community
much less effectually settle the problem.

affects only the sale of liquors. 1t does not go
to the root of the matter, the manufacture 1t
is certainly inconsistency to be lamented to
attempt to outlaw the sale of liquors within
locality and at the same time protect the manu-
facture within the same locality for sale else
where. To trim the branches and cultivate the
root and trunk of the upas tree is not we'll
1t is urged, in my own state, that public senti-
ment in Ohio is not yet ready for state Prohibi-
ton and county local option is the next best
thing and step in the direction of state Prohi-
bition. Substantially the same argument is heard
in other states. This threefo1d objection cannot
stand in the light of the facts of history.
This question has been before the people of
this state at least three times (1S51, 1874 and
1889, and each time the majorites against Ii
cense and for Prohibition have increased. Give
the people of Ohio an opportunity to vote on
this question this fall and there will not be
saloon or a dstillery or brewery under the pro-
lection of the state The only opposition to this
final and conclusive contamination are old party
politicians and the Ohio Ant-Saloon Leagues
compromise expedients. A similar statement
could be made of other states.

Lincoln Club Formed

NIAGARA FALLS N Y, February 1-(Special
correspondence - The Prohibitionists in this
city, together with some others interested in the
liquor problem but not hitherto declared as
Prohibitionists, have organized a club known as
the Lincoln Club, for the purpose of promulgat-
ing Prohibition principles. About twenty charter
members Joined in the organization at the first
meeting. Mr.. A. w. Pearson, a we'll known Pro-
hibitionist, was elected president.
The Rev Father George Zurcher, of La Sale,
whose sturdy work for Prohibition in and around
Buffalo has been widely known, delivered an
address at the first meeting The pledge of the
club is as follows:
81 am willing to subordinate all other issues
to this one of Prohibition for the liquor traffic
until the question is settled
"I will give my vote and influence only to
that party openly favoring this policy in state
and nation, and desire to unite with the Lincoln
Club of Niagara Falls to help attain this OBJ
ject."
