GOVERNMENT STATION WANTED
Prof. s. B. Mason Will Present to Bureau of Plant industry Advan- tages of El centro for Exper-
 imental Work

It is possible that within the ensuing year Government experimental sta tion will be located at Fl Centro This matter was taken up several months ago by the Ten Thousand Club and the secretary has been in cor respondence with officials of the Bur eau of Plant Industry, the depart ment which has been carrying on eX- perimental stations in the Coachella Valley for the past four years.
 Many problems which confront the desert farmer would come under the domain of such station, and the try ing out of new crops and methods of handling the soil would be of the utmost value to all parts of Imperial Valley.
 Prof. Silas G. Mason, who has made numerous visits to this valley and who has general supervision of the stations at Mecca, Indio and Arizona points, is particularly interested in the development of date culture in these arid regions, believing that 1t is pos sible in the limited area suitable for such culture to produce dates to off, set the present importations, now amounting annually to from $600.000 to $7OOOOO.
 He has written to the secretary of the Ten Thousand Club. saying:
 q shall refer the inquiry at once to the proper offices at Washington, asking for a prompt consideration of the matter. I know that number of applications for the establishment of field stations by our bureau have had to be declined on account of lack of funds necessary to equip and oper- ate them. It is possible, however, that in the interest of the Egyptian cotton project a special appropriation might be asked and secured for estab- fishing a station in your locality. will present the matter to the bureau in the interests of that work, as well as lines which come more immediate ly in my field of activity"

Republican principles, as enunciated
 by the leaders of the party in the present presidential campaign, were
 treated by Congressman s. c. Smith
 of this district before a good audience at the opera house Wednesday night.
 The Congressman impressed his audi ence with his earnestness and evi- dent aquaintanceship with national problems.
 'I notice with amazement, on each recurrent visit to your valley the mar velous growth you are making, said the Congressman, who was the last speaker introduced by Chairman Buck. Pioneering today is not what it was fifty years ago, for the country has made steady advances all along the line. But with the obstacles you have to face, you are making wonderful for ward steps each year. I hope to de my share for you in dogging the prop CT authorities and urging them to has ten your patents, which I know are indispensable to you.
 'It occurs to me that there is a po- litical lesson to be learned from the progress made in this country and in improved conditions met by you pio- neers compared with those your fore father faced. The Democrats have abandoned their old slogan The rich are getting richer and the poor poor er they find that it is not true Today prosperity blesSes both rich and poor and you feel it's influence here.
 Tt appears to me that there are many unimportant issues being dragged into the campaign this year But there are a few vital points on which we differ with our Democratic brethren. Bryan asks-'Shall the peo- pie rule? In Heavens name, hav'n't the people ruled? They can if they exercise their privilege and go to the primary, the caucus and the polls. The Democrats offer three points on which they propose to make their stand be- fore the people. The first is the tariff question, the second the question of the supervision and control of the rail roads doing business between states, and the third the control or regulation of the trusts"
 The speaker proceeded to present the arguments of the party for it's stand on these three important ques- tions, showing in his discussion that he had given them considerable thought and was on familiar ground.
 Tt is of the utmost importance to Imperial Valley" he said in conclu- sion, that the business of this coun- try should go forward without inter ruption. The inevitable check that would be given the financial world in the event of Bryan's election would seriously injure you here by deterring capital from investing"
 Brief talks were made by M. w. Cenkling and J. F. Giles of Calexico Candidate R. w. McPherrin was called upon, but merely stated that he was running as the candidate, not of a faction, section or corporation, but as the candidate of the Republican party. and that he wished to be supported on that ground. The Ell Centro orchestra furnished several musical selections.
