said that so far as he knew he had no
enemies. Two men were seen running

Nature Taking Of Various Sort S

President Roosevelt has caught the Horticultural Department in the very act of nature faking and given 1t a calling down that must have jared Secretary Wilson's teeth loose. A man in Tacoma imported some English skylarks and proposed to hberate them, but the Agricultural Department interfered, asserted that skylarks were citizens because they ate wheat and would devastate the grain fields of Washington, and forbade hb- eration of the birds The President showed Secretary Wilson that the De- partment belonged in the Seton Thompson-Ananias-Long class of ma ture fakers, and the English skylark was admitted to American citizenship.
 The skylark is harmless, no doubt, and will be welcomed as an addition to our feathered choir, but really the little bird doesn't justify the fulsome praises of British poets. He has no voice for singing. His note is shrill squeak, uttered at intervals as he ascends in spiral iigat. As a song ster he is not to be compared to the California meadowlark, nor even to the blackbird. He merely flies high and squeaks
 Only an Englishman would call the skylark's performance a song, and even he would not do so if some other Englishman had not set the precedent a long time ago. ls an Englishman

LIVES ON RAIsINs.

One of Callfornia's forest rangers, Enos A. Mills, eats nothing but half a pound of raisins a day. He recently delivered a lecture in New Orleans, and the Daily States" told how they tried to entertain him at dinners and banuuets there until they found that when left to himself he lived wholly on raisins Mills said:
 "As a rule walk thirty miles day over the forest of which have charge. Much of the time I have to climb mountains. Some of my trips last three weeks, and when 1 am about to start on one of them I strap fifteen pounds of raisins to my back, and there are my provisions all put up and easily carried
 'I find that 1 need no other food. Part of the time am as much as 14,- 900 feet above sea level, where there is much snow, and I find that the raisins agree as we'll with me at that altitude as they do aJ more normal levels.

Many of the newspapers of Southern California are telling effusively of the great things ac- complished in Washington by l. w. Gleason and crediting him with having secured reversal of the Land Office ruling affecting assignments of desert land en- tries. As the rule was reversed while MT. Gleason was on the way to Washington, It is clear that his efforts and influence must have advanced the cause of the settler at least half an inch.

ELKs IN TOWN.
Redlanders Give Excellent Perform
 ance of Farce Comedy.

The Redlands Elks and a carload of their friends came to El Centro last Friday and were received hospitably by J. Stanley Brown and the people of El Centro in Masonic narf. The train was late, and the visitors did not ar rive until shortly before midnight but everybody waited patiently in the hall, the young people passing away the time in dancing.
 The Redlanders were pleasantly sur prised, and they made speeches and said nice things about their hosts and about the warm recep uon. And then the music started and che dance was on.
 On Saturday night the Elks pro duced the farce Browns In Town" in the Holt Opera House. It was an amusing sketch and 1t was presented admirably. The work of the Elks players was up to proressrosal stand. ard in every particular and far better than that of great many companies of paid actors.

Somebody sent to the associat- ed press from Fl Centro a des- patch to the effect that the ex- press and railroad companies have instructed their agents to accept no shipments of liquor to Imperial county. The San Der nardino Sun headed the item "El Centro May Be Dry Town," and the Redlands Review put in big black type: "El Centro's Blind Pigs In Trouble" If the Imper- ial Valley were an unknown, re- mote frontier region there might be some excuse for such slipshod ignorant editing, but the San BernardinO and Redlands papers profess to be interested in and informed about this part of the State, and they should know that Fl Centro is "dry" and that there IS no such thing as a blind pig in the town.

Over the story of cotton grow ing by Texans at Ell Centro, cop jed from the Imperial Valley Press, the Submarine places the headline: "Claim Cotton Is Ad- apted to the Coachella Valley" Cotton probably would grow up there, but Fl Centro is not in Coachella Valley and the cotton story is not connected in the re- motest way with any part of Riverside county. The Submar- inc might as we'll "claim" the building boom of El Centro as an evidence of the progress of Coachella. Let The Submarine stand upon the bottom of it's own sea.

President Roosevelt and the settlers of Imperial Valley are unanimous in urging Congress to pass the bill providing for reimbursement to the Southern Pacific of the money expended in closing the break of the Colorado river and saving the irrigation systems of Imperial Valley and Yuma. The railroad company's total expense is figured at more than $3,00O,OOO, and Congress is asked to pay half the bill. There is no question that the Govern ment is bound in good faith to bear the cost of work done after December 1, 1906, whatever the amount may be. The President does not like MT. Hartman, and there are many settlers in the valley who disapprove most of the policies of the Southern Pa cific, but the President is big enough to be just to his enemy, and the most uncompromising "anti-railroad" people are with him for a square deal.

JUSTICE MURDOCH DIES.
Had Been Justice of the Peace for 25
 Years.

Sheffield, June 22.-(Special )-Squire J. P Murdock one of the best known men in this section, died yesterday at o'clock at his late residence in this city. He had served as justice of the peace for Sheffield for the past quarter of cen- tury, having been reappointed by each succeeding governor. His last commis- sion was received recently from Cover nor Conner, and Squire Murdock per formed the duties of his office until eight days ago. He believed strongly in the enforcement of the law, and his official conduct was governed by a high sense of duty. His wife, who was, prior to her marriage, Miss Fanny Key, has been dead for six years.
 The funeral services were held this morning at g o'clock at the residence, the Masons, to which fraternity he be- longed, being in charge of the arrange ments. The remains were brought to Florence and inferred beside those of his wife. The deceased is survived by two children, Miss Susie Murdock and Albert Murdock, both of Sheffield.
