BUTTERIN BUTTep OUT.
Farnsworth's Attempt to Degrade the
 County Failure.

Judge Cole, of the Superior Court, has denied the motion of l.. F. Farms worth to intervene in the closed case of Kellogg vs Roman, affecting the classification of Imperial County. The court decided in the Kellogg Roman case that the Supervisors acted legally and with proper authority when they classified Imperial County. After the case was settled, Farnsworth endeav- ored to butt in (plain English for 'intervene') with demand that Inn perial County be placeu in the lowest class known to the law, and the sal aries of all county officers be reduced accordingly, alleging that the action of the Supervisors was illegal. As the court had already determined all the questions raised by Farnsworth, no reason for reopening the case ap- peared.
 If Farnsworth is still unhappy be- cause Imperial County is bigger in population than it was year ago, he can begin little suit of his own to have it cut down to his size.

Demand for Govt. Stenographers, Rail
 way Mail Clerks, etc.

For several years there has been such demand for stenographers, rail way mail clerks etc., in the govern ment service, that practically all who passed these examinations from this western district received appointments and at good salaries. These positions are not affected by crop failures or financial panics. No political pull is necessary. The examinations are not hard when one knows what to study and how to study it and is we'll taught.
 Any one prepared for the railway mail service can also pass the eXami- nations for postoffice clerks, carriers, or custom house service. Any one of these courses can be taken in person or by mail in the San Bernardino Busi ness College and Civil Service Insti- ute. This school continues through out the summer without vacation, and is the only school in California making a speciality of this work and assisting young people to secure government DO sitions.
 Those enrolling now can. be pre- pared to pass the fall civil service ex- aminations, which are held in San Der nardino. Particulars can be had from the above school.

Passenger and freight service on the Southern Pacific's Imperial Valley branch will be improved materially before the end of this month. letter received this week by agents from T. A. Graham says:
 "On the new card of the Los Ange les division, which it is expected will go into effect March 22, 1908, l am pleased to advise you that improved passenger train service, as well as improved freight train service, will be inaugurated in the Imperial Valley. We will have two round trips of straight passenger service per day be- tween Imperial Junction and Calexico, leaving Calexico at $40 a. m. and 12:45 D. m., daily; arriving Imperial Junction, TAO a. m. and 2:45 D. m., respectively. South bound trains will leave Imperial Junction at S:30 a. m. and 3:30 D. m., arriving Calexico 10:30 a. m. and 530 D. m., respectively. Within the next two or three days will be able to give you time at points between Imperial Junction and Calexi- co, but am anxious to let the people of Imperial Valley know that the traf- f1c department at last has succeeded in securing improved service. This will give passenger travelling locally from point to point in the valley ser vice which will be convenient and time-saving. This increased service with the necessary increased expense speaks we'll for Imperial Valley at this particular time, for the policy of all large corporations has been and is to reduce expenses instead of in creasing."
 To connect with the Southern Pa cific trains, the timetable of the In er-Urban line will be changed as follows:
 Leave Fl Centro 7:20 a. m., 1:30 D. m. and 5:30 D. m.; leave Holtville, 5:30 a. m., 12:40 D., m. and 4:30 p. m.

CLIMATIC CHANGES.
Local Notifications Probably Caused
 By Salton Sea.

Discussing Dr. MacDougars observa- tions on the climatic influence of Sal ton Sea and his conclusion that out side of zone of probably thousand yards the aridity of the desert has been unchanged by the expanse of water where formerly there were but dry lands, the Brawley News says:
 "Yet the stubborn fact remains that dates in the Coachella Valley, which had ripened fully before the coming of the inland sea, have shown during the past season signe of injury from moisture, and at the Government Elk perimental Station at Mecca it was found necessary to take some of the choicest varieties off the trees and ripen them in the artificially dried heat of a chicken incubator. Men in charge claim the trouble was due to the influence of the. sea upon the erstwhile dry air. Ranchers in the Coachella Valley region will tell one
 
 in the heat of the valley since the wide expanse of water has come, and that at times the breeze from the southWard has a decidedly moist feel ing Is this all imagination, or may not Prof. MacDougal be as much mis- taken as were the scientists who a few years ago spread broadcast the report that Imperial Valley lands were worthless because. of the large per centage of alkali?"
 The facts cited indicate that the atmospheric conditions in the vicin- ity of Salton Sea have been modified, and it would be strange if no effects were produced by the increased humid ity due to evaporation. There is no doubt that local climatic conditions are affected by cultivation, irrigation and the covering or desert land by plant growth, and it is certain that the hot winds of the desert are tenn pered by passing over Salton Sea.
 But discussion of this matter usually has reference to the popular notion that rainfall over Arizona, New Mexi- co, Kansas and Texas has been in creased by evaporation from Salton Sea- There is no reason to suppose that such an effect could be produced by a body of water of that size. Ger tainly not enough water is evaporated from the basin to make one shower
