PosTMAsTERsHIP.
Retirement of Applicant DeVoI Opens
 the Race to All.

It has become necessary to appoint new postmaster at El Centro, as MT. Devol, who has been handling the mail and expected to take charge of the office, finds it necessary for family reasons to leave the valley and is no longer a candidate for the place. He had no competitor and would have been appointed had he been able to remain here, but now that he is out Of the race it has become a free-for-all, and candidates are busy circulating petitions.
 The leading applicants for the joo are W. B. Gibson and J. J. Colby, both or whom have secured long lists of signatures to their petitions MT. Gib, son had charge of the construction of the HoIton Power Co.'S. steam auxili-

ary plant, and when that was finished he went into business as proprietor of the new pool hall in the Blackinton building Mir. Colby has been in the real estate business for some time with his two sons. He is a veteran of the civil war and a highly respected citizen.
 Rivalry between the candidates is entirely amiable, and no factional poli- tics are involved The man who gets the strongest endorsements probably will win. Colby has the distinct ad- vantage of being an old soldier.

Here is what a congressman told the Royal Arch in explana- tion of his vote to close the army canteen: "I did so in the inter est of a number of liquor dealers who are friends of mine and at their solicitation. Tn closing the canteen I helped the business of the salOonkepeers near the army post. It conlpels the soldiers to go and buy their booze at one of the saloons, in place of getting it from the canteen." Possibly the w. c. T. U. may find the con- gressman's candOr enlightening and interesting.

Almost every member of the lmpo- rial County Chamber of Commerce was present at the meeting held in Holtville Wednesday afternoon. The meeting was held in the Holtville li- brary building, which is located in the center of beautiful park, and was one of the best and most helpful gath erings since the Chamber was organ ized.
 President Giles, of Calexico, an nounced that the newly organized Heber Chamber of Commerce desired to become a member of the county or ganization and it was unanimously voted to admit them. Two Heber dele gates were then welcomed into the or ganization by the President.
 Secretary Charles read communi- cation from the southern California Editorial Association which stated that the association was arranging for an excursion to the valley some time next October. A committee was in- structed to make adequate prepara- tions for their entertainment.
 Arrangements were also made to provide for the excursionists from San Diego who are coming by special train Saturday night.
 The matter of publishing county directory was again up for discussion and a committee composed of Giles of Calexico, Parazette of Imperial and Hayden of Fl Centro, was appointed to act with the directory committee.
 The president of the local Chambers of Commerce were made a special committee to meet the San Diego ex- cursionists.
 Considerable time was devoted to discussion of the advisability of enter ing into an advertising campaign, and it was the sense of the meeting that such a campaign would be profitable and feasible. A proposition from the Sunset Magazine to publish a page ad- vertisement in the magazine and to provide 35,O00 Imperial Valley book lets was favorably considered, and committee appointed to determine whether or not the principal towns of the valley would contribute sufficient to warrant the expenditure.
 The Chamber adopted resolution asking the Southern Pacific Railroad Company to build a depot for freight and passenger service at Heber and to provide a permanent agent for that station, because of the rapid growth of that place and the need of better facilities to handle transportation.
 The meeting adjourned early enough to permit the members to visit the power plant before taking the 4:15 train to Fl Centro.

The little things are what count in presidential politics. Blaine was beaten by the foolish babble of a pulpiteer; Hancock spoiled his chances with half a dozen words, and if Taft loses the nomination he may blame himself for talking about Gen. Grants early habits.

Another fool fake is exploited by the telegraph editors of pre- sumably sane newspapers as an achievement of science. The story from St. Louis is that the image of a murderer was fixed in his victims dead eye and was photographed after the body had been in the water six weeks. These yellow idiots are making the very name of science ridicul- ouS.

SCHOOL AFFAIRS
Evidence of Progress Throughout the County-Calexico Votes
 Bonds.

Between the hours of 2 and 3 D. m of June 12 an election will be held at the public school building in El Gen. tro for the purpose of electing a rep resentative of this district for the Union high school district to be form ed of the school districts of El Centro, Eucalyptus, Elder, Deal, Adair, Silsbee and Heber. All electors of El Centro district should vote at this election.
 The city schools of Fl Centro will have five teachers for the next school year. The school board has selected Prof. Began from the San Jose schools as principal, and the other teachers engaged are Mrs. V. Rapp, who taught here last year; Miss Clara B. John son, who comes from the public schools of Ogden, Utah; Mrs. Dora Horton, formerly principal of the pub lie schools of Palermo, Butte county; and Miss Grace Cole, sister of Judge Cole of the Superior Court, who has been a teacher in the public schools at Mason City, Iowa.
 The edict has gone forth that for the ensuing school year there will be is- sued no temporary certificates, unless in cases of extreme emergency. Every teacher who expects to teach in Impe- rial county schools and who does not already hold certificate, must at tend the examination to be held the first week in September
 Calexico school district has voted unanimously for the issuance of $10,- 900 bonds for the purpose of erecting a new school building. It is proposed to secure six-acre tract lying south of the Mobley Meadows ranch, on the northern edge of Calexico, and to move the present school building thereon for high school in case such an institution is provided by a union of several districts. The present school site may be sold to secure funds for purchase of the new site and removal of the building.
 Only few months ago the school district of Deal was formed from part of the Heber districts territory, but now a movement is on foot to unite these districts again, for the purpose of voting bonds sufficient to erect a large school building. A petition has been presented to the county superin- tendent asking that steps be taken to- wards this action. R. H. Portis has been appointed to fill the unexpired term as a member of the Board of Trustees of Deal school district. One of the trustees appointed when the district was formed failed to qualify.
 The County Board of Education is engaged in preparing a new course of study for the county schools, and is also preparing a library list for use in the public schools.
 The County Board of Education has not yet completed the work of eXamin- ing the papers of students of the grammar grades who took the county examinations preparatory to entering high schools next fall. The county schools furnished pupils for this ex- animation as follows: Alamo, five; East Side, one; Sunset Springs, one; CalexicO, six; Brawley, three; El Gen. tro, twelve; Eucalyptus, one; Elder, two; Imperial, twelve; Picacho, two.

 STANDARD OF INTOxICATION

In Upton's Sinclair's Metropolis, ,' now running in The American Maga zine, there is a wonderful description of a New York milliOnaires' club. Following is one of the good stories Mir Sinclair tells:
 And the fat man over there-that is Jimmie FeatherstOne, the chap who inherited the big estate. Poor Jim mics going all to pieces the Major declared. Goes downtown to board meeting now and then; and they tell a hair raising story about him and old Dan Waterman. He had got up and started a long argument, when Waterman broke in. But at the ear Tier meeting you argued directly to the contrary, MT. Featherstone" Did I?' said Jimmie, looking bewild cred. I wonder why I did that| Well. Mir Featherstone. since you you ask me, I'll tell you, said Dan he's savage as a wild boar you know. and won't be delayed at meetings. The reason is that the last time you were drunker than you are now. If you would adopt a uniform standard of intoxication for the directors meet ings of this road. it would expedite matters considerably"

THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION

An important book to be published
 on January 18th is The American Constitution" by Frederick J. Stimson. Professor of Comparative Legislation at Harvard University. Mir. Stimson
 is known also as "J. s. of Dale" and
 as the author of King Noanett,. '. Mrs. Knollys and Other Stories" as well as of "A Handbook to the Labor Law of the United States" etc. This new book contains the Lowell Lect-
 with The American Constitution The National Powers, The Rights of the States" and "The Liberties of the People" The lectures created wide spread interest last fall, and the. book will arouse even more discussion. MT Stimson enters especially into questions as to monopolies. National and State powers. and the regulation of business and labor. and the brilliant discussion, deeply patriotic in the best sense. Is marked by clear and we'll tempered thought, enforced by thor rough knowledge and very uncom-
 mon aptitude in illustration and ci- tation.

THE NEVADA POLICE BILL RESTS WITH MINE OWNERS
Unless They Withdraw the Card Sys- tenn There Will Be No Protecting Legislation.

Carson. Nev.. Jan. 25.-There was a short session of the state senate this morning but nothing in the way of law making was undertaken as the governor stated that no message would be submitted until the police measure is settled. The senate ad- journed to Monday The talk in the Hobbies of the hotels turned to the question now confronting the legisla- ture. the action of the mine owners relative to the withdrawal of the card system.
 The impression is general that the police measure never can come to a vote until the question is settled. Should the mine owners refuse to withdraw the system the police bill will probably meet death in the com mittee and never be presented for a vote A poll of the assembly shows that there is a heavy majority in favor of the withdrawal of the card system and that the members are further pledged to hold up the police bill un- til the question is settled.
 An assemblyman received a tele- gram late this afternoon from Secre- tary Erb os the Goldfield Mine wners' Association. stating that a definite an- swer would be given by Sunday night at a meeting of the mine owners, both of Tonooah and Goldfield. They have been called to go over the situation and would give a direct answer as to whether the card system is to be abolished or not.

in 1759, young Samuel Gardner of Salem. just graduated from Harvard College made a voyage to Gibraltar with Captain Richard Derby The lads diary contains some interesting references to the warlike aspect of a routine trading voyage. besides reveal ing the ingenious nature of this nine teen -year-old youngster of the eigh- teenth century. His daily entries read in part:

Sheer nonsense rhymes and jokes. without apparent reason or object. are frequently used to fill the pages of the Cornell Widow If anything more foot less than the Man of Giegledorf' verse has ever been written, The Wid- ow wishes to state that her bump of credulity was imported from Missouri. and must be shown:

VlR6lNlAN WAS A
 FINE PERFORMANCE
It Was Witnessed by One of the Largest and Best Pleased Audiences
 of the Season.

l The Doris Opera house last night did the biggest business ever enjoyed
 under the present management. when l the story of The Virginian was pre- sented by the Kirke LaShelle company. i The prices were the top charges per
 missible for a theatrical production here, considerably in advance of the regular theater rates but the house
 was nevertheless filled practically to 1 its capacity. It only demonstrates again that Phoenix will always pay the highest market price If necessary when the article is known to be some thing good.
 And it was a good show. The au- dience demonstrated its approval with satisfying frequency. applauding the bright comedy and the heroic parts and giving the deference of rapt and sympathetic attention when the deeper emotions were played upon by situa- tions that needed no words to further impress. There is a subtle apprecia- tion among all human kind that un- derstands and interprets true senti- ment without the agency of speech. an appreciation possessed in some degree. by even the most perverted, though it is sometimes all but submerged. And in the latter class one instinctively places Trampas the arch william of the story, for there were times when he seemed to possess the rudimentary ele- ments of a white man.
 The part of the Virginian was well carried by w. s. Hart who is by physique the natural character, big. strong, towering above his associates and yet of brave and gentle heart. Trampas as portrayed by Frank Cam peau was a very satisfactory rendition, and it should be said of the ten or dozen other cowboys aligned on one side or the other of the feud, that they were very realistic. Steve by G. A. Forbes, made a decided hit. The six or eight women of the company were all good character artists with Anne Meredith as Molly Wood the leading lady Miss Meredith was equal to her opportunities and a very bewitchinS sort of a Yankee school mann to be cast in such a wild western setting There was considerable special scenery that gave the play its natural pictur- esque setting and altogether the enter tainment was a decidedly pleasing and satisfactory one.
