gress is certain TO be democratic. In
surgency has won the point it aimed
at, turning the county over to demo-
cracy. Republicans are for country
before party, and cheerfully submit to
the verdict of the majority. The
republican party will continue to en-
dure, as it is founded upon the prin-
ciples of human rights, and will again
gain the ascendancy when the epeople
become tired of hystera and expert
ment.

THOSE who believe in the Taft adj
ministration, and voted Tuesday to sus-
tain that administration, have clear
conscience and nothing to be ashamed
of. If to be loyal to Taft is sign
manuel of standpatism there is still
quite sprinkling of standpatter in the
state, but as they do not consort with
democrats they did not make very
flattering showing Tuesday.

GAS SYSTEM PROGRESSES
Laying of Service Pipe in Fl Gen. tro Will be Completed by
 Last of the Year.

Satisfactory progress is being made in the construction of the Imperial Valley Gas Company's plant at Fl Centro and the laying of it's dis tributing system.
 The gas cOnverters, boilers, etc, are all in place, the large tank is com pleted and ready for commission, and such good progress has been made in the distributing system that the work in Fl Centro will be completed by the last of the year.
 Immediately thereafter the force of men that has been engaged on this work will be placed at the task of digging a ditch for the pipe from El Centro to Imperial on Imperial av- enue This must be completed before the Imperial system is constructed, as each section is tested out by com pressed air pressure at the plant be- fore the ditch is closed
 The prospect is that the company will be ready to furnish gas for do- mestic use by the first of February, Officials of the company state that they have received cordial response to the canvass for customers and near ly every house on the south side of Ei Centro will have gas service, while other sections have taken advantage of the offer to make free connections with the consumers stoves if contracts are made now.

0Saki Mills May Send La borerS to Cultivate Large
 Acreage
Representative Instructed to Contract For Crop or to Lease Land and Grow Cotton in Imperial Valley For the kanegafuchi Spinning Company of Japan.

One of the most important develop ments of the past few days in the Imperial Valley cotton industry is the information received by The Press that the most extensive manufacturers of cotton goods in Japan have taken direct personal interest in the new industry and may engage extensively in the growing of Imperial valley cot ton next season.
 The recent visit of the Japanese Imperial Commissioners to Imperial Valley for an inspection of the cotton crop and local conditions was a rev. elation to this party. One of it's mem- bers was N. Takatsuji, president of the Kanegafuchi Spinning Company, of Osaki, Japan. This is the largest cot ton manufacturing concern in the Or tent, and has control of a major part of the 100 cotton mills at Osaki.
 After his visit here and an inspec- tion of the harbors at San Pedro and San Diego, MT. Takatsuji left in Los Angeles his personal representative with instructions to come to Imperial valley and secure contracts on large acreages of cotton next season, or else to secure land leases direct and make plans for putting in large crop under the representative own super vision In the latter case it is prob able that a colony of Japanese will be brought down from Los Angeles to handle the crop.
 The statement was made by MT. Takatsuji, while on this tour of in spection, that his companies alone could use all the cotton that could be grown in Imperial valely- next year.

REAL ESTATE LIVELY
Demand For Residence Lots in E
 centro Becomes Active.

Ownership of El Centro real estate is proving so attractive that the orig inal townsite is now well sold out. During, the past few days numerous sales have been made of town prop critics, and in several cases residences will be erected at once.
 The El Centro National Bank has purchased from J. w. Colson two lots on the north side of Main street, ad- joining the bank property at Fifth and Main streets. This gives the bank property, exclusive of it's reserva- tion for it's own building sufficient to place a 50x75 foot building on the Fifth Street frontage and one of sim liar size on the Main street frontage. It is probably that building will be erected on this property during the ensuing season. This, in connection with the new home of the El Centro National Bank, to be erected this sea- son, will make a substantial addition to El Centro's business center
 l. A. Morgan has purchased two lots at Seventh and Orange streets, and on one has erected cottage for ren- tai. Adjoining the Morgan lots, Mr. Allen has purchased property and will build this winter.
 Thomas Landers, recent conner from Texas, who has purchased the eighty-acre Holly ranch, on the Dah- lia canal, has bought live lots on the north side of Olive street between Fifth and Sixth streets.
 w. H. Mann, station agent for the Southern Pacific, has purchased a lot on the north side of Olive street, op- posite the residence of J. Stanley Brown, and will at once erect a bun galow.
 R. H. Richardson, leader of the Fl Centro Band has purchased a lot at tbe southeast corner of Seventh and Commercial sne"ts, and will buiI1 there.
 MT Cole father of Judge Franklin J. Cole, has purchased a lot on the north side of Broadway, between Sev- enth and Eighth streets, and will erect handsome residence for his own home.
 Robert Fansher has bought lot on the north side of State street between Sixth and Seventh streets.

DUCKS IN THE VALLEY
Good Sport on the Gun Clubs Pre- serve on the Alamo
 River

Ducks do not appear to be so nu- merous in the valley this year as they have been in years past, but there are enough of them to keep the far mer busy hazing them out of his bar ley field and replanting what they get away with, and there is good shoot ing in the irrigated fields and along the Alamo and New Rivers.
 The Fl Centro Gun Club has leased a section of land covering the Alamo swamp west of the railroad bridge, put up a comfortable club house and provided boats, decoys and other ac- cessories to sport, and the members who have been on the preserve re- port good flights of birds and plenty of shooting. Shooting is restricted by the club to two mornings and two evenings in the week. and the birds are not to be disturbed at other times. It is the purpose of the club to plant wild rice in the swamp and provide feeding grounds so attrac- tive that the ducks will not find 1t necessary to visit the barley fields so frequently. Large areas will be cleared of jules, which will make it possible to retrieve most of the birds killed. The grounds will be posted and keeper will see that the ducks are not molested by market hunters and poachers.
 The club now has nineteen mem bers and enough applications to fill the list up to the limit
 The secretary, who has had the luck to bring back full bag of twenty-five birds from each trip to the Alamo this season, reports eleven species of ducks killed in the swamp by himself up to date, viz: canvas back, redhead, mallard, spoonbill, wid- geon, sprig, blue wing teal, cinnamon teal ruddy, Mexican tree duck and American merganser or fish duck The last named is a wanderer from the North Pacific that came down with the cold weather last week.

 It was reported that fifty men have joined the new club, and many more are in prospect, so that 1t is believed the membership will reach near to the 100-mafk. this winter
 A lease has been secured on the two rooms fronting on Sixth street in the Holt Block, and these rooms are to fitted up at once in first class style. One of the features of the place will be mesquite log decora- tlons. A large mesquite log will be erected before the rooms as a sigr

BEGINS COTTAGE BUILDING
E. Sampson Starts Two House on C1. i've Street, to be Followed by
 Five Others This Winter

E. Sampson, recent conner to Ell Centro from Los Angeles, bu. for the past twenty years resident of Chey. enne, Wyoming, has seen. the great need for more rental properties in this city, and this week started the erection of two cottages, to be follow ed by at least five others as soon as the work can be handled.
 MT. Sampson has purchased two lctsa at the northeast corner of Fifth and Olive streets. The cottages now in course of building will have front ages on Olive street. Later he eX- poets to erect two cottages with front ages on Fifth street, and three more on Olive street. The two started wi,I have three. rooms, bath, screened porch rooms, and will be fitted wit electricity, gas and sewer connec- tions.
 MT. Sampson believes that the busi.. ness buildings of Fl Centro are far ahead of the residence districts and that there is ample field for exten- sive building of cottages here.
 Under the supervision of Contrac- tor J. L. Travers, the addition to the Holton Power Company's ice plant has been going up. The walls are up on three sides of the structure, while the placing of frame work is in progress on the northerly side.
 MT. Travers IS building a cottage for George T. Irwin, at Seventh and Orange streets, and as soon as this is completed MT. Irwin will move from his ranch to El Centro.
 Prof. Edwards, principal of the grammar schools, Is having a cottage erected for his own home on the north side of Brighton avenue, be- tween Fifth and Sixth streets.

 Appears

The Methodist Sunday School Christmas entertainment was held in the church last night. A Christmas tree was laden with gifts for the school attendants and the room was hand somely decorated with the Christmas colors. Santa Claus appeared and dis tributed the gifts.

 Tomorrow at each of the churches Christmas sermons will be delivered.
 Today Fl Centro will be practically deserted Everybody who can get away will be bound for Holtville, where the Christmas fiesta for the valley will be held. One of the big features will be the free turkey din- ner for everybody.
 The Holton Inter- Urban Railroad Company has made special prepara- tions for caring for passengers and has engaged a coach from the Southern Pacific in addition to it's own equip ment.
