Of the Philippine Commission In addition he has
the free use the old palace in Manila, formerly
used by the Spanish governors general
Another large salary on the patronage list is
s17 800 q year given to ambassadors IN our olp-
lonatic service most OF whom will eNpend at least
three times this amount in vying with The hospi-
taIities offered by the other ambassadors at the
courts to which they accredited.
Then there four salaries Of $4,000 pesos paid to
the American members OF the Philippine Commits

IMPERIAL COTTON CROP
TO BE A BIG SUCCESS

Ell CENTRo. Aug 25.-some of Ell Centros s
cotton sharps, who hail from the cotton belt
OF Texas, visited the Ira Aten ranch, north
of town, and brought back glowing reports
Of the growth made by this seasons cotton
crop. Mr.. Aten has tracts planted to Texan
cotton and Egyptian cotton, and both are
doing remarkably well. The Texas cotton
stocks are set full of bolls and the squares
still forming on each bush. The Egyptian
cotton has a rank foliage, but its blossoming
period seems to be later than the Texas va
riety, as the blossoms are just appearing.
Messrs Sevens and Casner, who were MEM
ters Of the visiting party, declare their firm
conviction that such cotton as is growing on
the Aten place would easily yield over two
bales to the acre.
Mr.. Stevens, who has had long experience
in growing cotton and in erecting and ope-
rating machinery to handle the CROP both in
Texas and Mexico, is convinced that cotton
can be grown proftably in Imperial valley,
and is asking settlers to agree to plant it If
he can secure assurances Of at least 500 acres
Re will that gin is provided to handle
the crop.
The Texans who were here last winter look
ing over the field intended to dispose of their
holdings in Texas and plant 1000 acres Of cot
ton in Imperial valley this season, but the
effects Of the panic fingered in Texas and
prevented them from carrying out their pro-
gram. When they are able to realize on
their Texas property they will come to I'm
periai valley and grow cotton on large
scale

CHANGE IN ORDINANCE
GIVES REFERENDUM TIME
Clerical Error Makes 1t Necessary to
Repass Dance Hall Law and
Delays Date of Its
Effect

For about ten seconds yesterday
morning the dance hall ordinance was
repealed, but it was soon substituted
by the same ordinance with the inser-
ton of the phrase accompanied by
parent or someone duly authorized in
writing by such parent or guardian.
This phrase was inserted in section
4 of the dance hall ordinance and was
made necessary by the fact that Sec
tions and of the ordinance con-
1lcted. Section of the ordinance made
it unlawful for the dance halls to admit
minors under IS years of age unless
accompanied by parents or guardians,
and section 4 made it unlawful for any
minor under IS years to attend the
dance hall. The phrase unless accom-
panied by parent or guardian was left
out through a clerical error.
Attorneys for the dance hall appeared
before the special session of the council
yesterday morning and asked that this
clerical error be corrected.
The correction in this ordinance de-
lays it's becoming a law for thirty days.
1t will be published this morning, and
as it does not bear the emergency
clause it is not in force until thirty
days after publication.
This gives the dance hall attorneys
that much longer to prepare their
referendum petitions. They began cir
culating these petitions yesterday morn
ing, and as but per cent of the votes
polled at the last election are necessary
to bring the petitions before the city
council they expect to have them ready
for submission in not more than three
weeks.
The petitions for referendum must be
submitted to the council before the
measure becomes law in order to be
effective.

CHIEF OIL INSPECTOR
FAV0RS CLAMPITT'S CLAIMS
Joins in Crusade for Specifications
Demanding Larger Percentage of
AsphaItum in Oil Laid
on Streets

C. A. Blackmar, chief oil inspector,
has come to the assistance of Council
man Clampitt in his fight for heavier
oil on the streets
I'm glad to see Clampitt take this
stand" said Blackmar yesterday. Il
have been trying for five years to have
the specifications made for heavier oil
on the streets, but have seen no hope
until Clampitt began to champion the
cause"
The remark was brought out by the
notice to Blackmar to appear before the
council next Monday and tell what he
knows about the oiling of Kane street
10 which property owners are object
ing He says the oil is according to
specifications, and it is not that the oil
is at fault but the specifications.
Blackmar is probably one of the most
enthusiastic oil men in Southern Cali
fornia. His services have been in de-
mand by private corporations, which
have offered him much higher salaries
than he receives from the city, but he
has preferred to remain in the city s
employ.
Not only is he anxious to remain
with the city, but is also anxious to
keep good men at work. His anxiety
went so far that when his assistant,
who received a monthly salary CT $75
from the city, was offered $100 by a
private corporation Blackmar paid him
SIS monthly out of his own pocket to
bring the amount up to $50, a price
which the assistant set for his services.
