is fine and the wood-carving not to
be equalled; we see much of it used
in their homes which are much like
our American homes, differing ac-
cording to the individual taste. AS
a rule the living rooms were much
larger than ours possibly to COM
pensate in part for lack of lawn.
Much more furniture, pedestals,
ornaments and articles OF various
kinds are used than we use in any
one room, but the rooms being
large, the effect is good. The
furniture is almost invariably hand
carved mahogany and every thing is
heavy and massive, articles often
having been used over a century.
If Bergen has a slum side l failed
to see it, but the lack of distressed
looking people on the street was
noticeable, and they tell me that un-
like our American cities they have
no extremely wealthy people and
their poor are well looked after.
1t is difficult to say anything of
Bergen that will do them justice.
The decorum of their children and
the respect with which they treat
their elders is something good to
behold. The INDUCTION Honor thy
father and MOTHER" and we might
add, thy elders" is lived almost
to perfection. A young boy will
enter room full of people, make a
profound bow, which is done in a
perfectly easy, unconscious manner,
for it was taught him as soon as he
could stand alone. On taking leave,
he makes the rounds of the room
offering each person his hand, which
I've never seen dirty, which l am
afraid outshines some of our Ameri-
cans.
They are taught to be polite, and
coupled with a genuinely friendly
feeling this makes them a people
truly pleasure to mingle with.
Grace is universally said at their
tables, the meal ended, each person
bows to the host and hostess, offers
the hand if convenient and says
TAX for MAIDEN, the answer is
always "Yelbekomme", which means
thanks for the meal" and may it
become you," which lose their true
meaning on translation; but pretty
custom hard to shake off when one
becomes accustomed to il. Oc-
casionally there is general hand
shaking. When calling one is in
variably invited to take refresh
ments, usually light wine or coffee
and small cakes and fruit. If you
should decline, the hostess would
feel much disappointed, if not Of
Tended, and it is best to take at
least a bite even if one has just
dined.
The Bergensers are a light-heart-
Cd, joyous, pleasure-loving people,
not frivilous, but not taking them
selves and life too seriously but
enjoying to the fullest extent the
good things of this world given to
them and intended for them to en-
joy. They claim to be different in
this respect from the large class of
Norwegians who as a rule are not
so much given to treating life as a
great holiday. Hospitality is al
most their religion. One can almost
feel the big-hearted whole souls of
the people permeating the very at
mosphere. They are sturdy, noble,
determined and of sterling character,
credit to the old viking ancestry
to whom all true Norsemen are
proud to refer-a pride felt by some
Americans whose children have
been fortunate enough to lay claim
to such ancestry.

GRAFTON, May 27.-united states
Marshall C. d. Elliot Of Parkersburg
arrived alteration MONDAY evening on
No. IL on his way to Phillippi with
James A. Baker and Fuzzy, Regan
In custody. Baker and iResan we're
being taken to Philippi where they
will be given trail before Judge
Dayton of the Federal court this week.
Baker is under Indictment for lamp.
ering with the United States malls
and is the selfconfessed slayer. OF
Operator Edward Y. Hutchinson, at
Welcome station on the night of De
cember 2Sth last. After his Indictment
and preliminary hearing at Wheeling,
some weeks ago, he was taken to the
Harrison county jail in Clarksburg for
safe keeping and since then has been
carefully guarded : for fear that ne
would attempt to end his life before
going on trial with prospects of a
long penal sentence. Those who have
met Baker and have learned his dis
position are OF the belief that he has
determined on suicide before he will
go on trial for his crime or give the
world his real identity. IT apprecI-
ate the kindness that Mr.. Rigor and
Post Office Inspector Kincaid have
shown ME. ! am sorry that my. career
has been as 1t has. am sorry that ]
should have been born to this disgrace
to myself, but before God ] shall not
wear prison stripes nor shall the -old
parents of mine know that their son
has been accused OF this This state
ment was made by Baker during his
confinement in the Tombs' prison. In
New York City. where he was fncar.
cerated after his arrest by Detective
Rigor and Inspector Kincaid. Govern
:lent officials of this district have is.
sued orders that he be carefully guard
ed night and day until the close OF his
trial. He is without money or friendly
aid. other than that he has won since
his arrest in New York City. He adj
mits that his father is wealthy. but
persistently refuses to disclose the
identity of his relatives or give hint
to the officials that would lead to their
location.
When the prisoners were taken
through they were securely han.l-
cuffell anil kept apart. In case Baker
puts up a stiff defense. Regan will
be used as the principal witness
against him. The two were togethcrI
on several small "Jobs" in the vicinity
of Pittsburg. One day before Bakers
in the United States court.
Regain was indicted in the state courts
OF pennsylvania on the charge of for
gerry. When Baker agreed to come to
West Virginia. Regain was brought
with him and will be detained until
after the trial Mt Philippi. when he will
be turned over to Pennsylvania sau-
thorities.

AROUT TO BE D[SCOYERED.

San Francisco and the central section of the State are just beginning and take notice of the great reclamation work that going in Imperial Valley and the business of the city set voyage of discovery and expora ton this region This encouraging for it only few weeks since state commission issued official document from the State printing office purportng contain list of the counties of Cali fonia which contained mention of Imperial County capital of the State the existence of Imperial County appeared to be unknown.
 Something has attracted attention of San Francisco to
 this egon and the Chamber of Commerce wants to learn thing about the valley whose remarkable development from utter desert marveousy productive irrigated empire has been for two years least the talk of the continent
 Only recently the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce took the Los Angeles idea commercial tours Last May party than hundred of the leading of affairs heads of the largest firms and corporations made tour of the central and northern part of the State and found the trip enhtenng and profitable They got into with the business of the lesser cities and learned of the needs and the trade possibilities of the interior towns than could have filtered to them through subordnates from their travelling
 Next month about eventyfve of the will into Imperial Valley size trade conditions and acquainted with
 the people, Probably the the State and the Mayor of San Francisco will be with them.
 They going be surprised The secretary of their Cham Der of Commerce down flying visit of preliminary in speco and he rubbing his and pnchng himself yet to convince himself that he didn't dream all that he He dis covered E Centro while he here It fact that he had heard how city had been built here upon the sands less than two years and he astounded to find brbut town having of the convenences comforts and public utilities cities fifty its population.
 happens that the of the San Francisco will coincide with the exhibition of stock and products virtually county fair by the Ten Thousand Club the county In the two three hours spent at E Centr the visitors will and learn of Imperial Valleys than they could discover ordinarily in week of travel through the county For obvious it to the advantage of the farmers stock raers and all settlers to make the exhibition of products complete possible Extraordinary be made place the best of everything exhibition and make the show complete and instructive to be hoped that the val
 people will rise to the occasion and make the Products Stock show adequate and credtabe advertisement of the whole county.

IN THE MEANTIME, RAISE PIGS.

Of all the land held in private ownership in Imperial County less than onerd irrigated and not than cu tvaed actually productive small proportion of the claimed land is famed in to get the highest returns for economical and profitable operation but until patents issued and land be sold in tracts less than the sub divisions not much advance in intensive farming be expected
 The entryman settler who has anything from 80 to 320 to reclaim and prove has about all he attend complies with legal requirements and make the part of his holding As re he lacks the capital full development of the farming possibilities of his land and for the present he cannot readily obtain capital by selling of his claim.
 Considering the difficult conditions pe Valley to produce much of anything for the but is evident everyone who looks the rcts that under adverse conditions the farmers growing much they might Too of them looking for profits sales the future and negectng the business of making something out of the land in the meantime
 Still thousand carloads of products year
 remarkable record for desert in the early ton It is proof of the fecundity of soil and climate prophecy of tens and hundreds of thousands of not far in the future
 What the valley needs is the small welcuvated farm the who has ten twenty and real making money than the who trying farm quarter or half section But there are not enough of these small farms not to the credit of of that the town markets supplied with fresh vegetables fruits shipped in from Los Angeles.
 in point farmer who raises garden truck brought load to an Fl Centro merchant when he delivered neigh bor living farm mile farther from town bought vegetables fairly of the and hauled them back to his home paying the growers price and the merchants profit what he could easily have for himself That why Imperial Valley settlers short of money and are being carried" by the banks and the merchants.
 Correction of this condition will when the resurvey is approved and the of patents makes possible the subdivision of land into farms of practicable for close cultivation In the meantime the best thing the holders of full claims do much land they possibly into alfalfa and barley and raise pigs Pigs pigs and there's in em and the price of pork is going up.

COUNTY LECTURER HERE
Miss Rose Clifford Comes To El Cen tro To Gather Special lnforma- tion For Use In Promotion
 Work For Imperial Valley.

Miss Rose Clifford lecturer for I'm perial county at the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, was member of the editorial excursion party which left the valley Thursday. Miss Cliff ord came for the express purpose of gleaning information on topics which will supplement the work of her lee tures She is enthusiastic over the work, and believes that tangible re- suits have been accomplished.
 Within the ensuing two weeks, says Miss Clifford, several people of means who have become interested in this valley through her lectures, will visit Fl Centro and other valley towns
 The lectures are attended by as high as forty-fve persons and at their close Miss Clifford invites all those interested to meet her at the Imperial county exhibit on the main floor of the Cham Der of Commerce, where she gives personal attention to those who de sire special information.
 The county exhibit at present is making a good showing, but con- stant replenishing is required. Per sons having products which would be suitable for this display are request ed to bring them at once to the Imper- ial Valley Press Office, and they will be sent on to Los Angeles.
