DRAINAGE SYSTEM WOULD
ENHANCE VALUE OF LAND
Winter Floods Interfere with Cultiva-
ton in the Vicinity of Westn1n-
ster, Orange County

SANTA ANA, April 10.-Planse for
the organization of drainage system
for Westminster and vicinity are being
discussed and a committee was APP
pointed this week to investigate ana
report on the probable cost and the
area possible to be taken into the pro-
posed district. Some of the most val
liable lands in Orange county are sit
uated in the neighborhood of West
minister, the only drawback being that
winter floods occasionally render por-
lions of it unfit for cultivation in time
for certain crops, and it is estimated
that a drainage system that would
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000
would enhance land values served by
it at least ten times that amount. 1t

Record Price for Cotton.

A new and gratifying record has
been established by cotton, which
has climbed to approximately thir-
teen and a quarter. cents, which is
higher than 1t has been, at this sea-
son of the year, at any time since
the civil. war. says the Atlanta
Journal.
There has been an advance of one
and a quarter cents since today week,
and there is healthy tone in the
activity which makes it certain that
the present high prices will be main
tained.
Only few days ago Hon. Harvle
Jordan gave out an encouraging in
terview In, which he said that not
less than hundred million dollars
would be distributed among the
farmers of Georgia from the sale OF
cotton and cotton seed.
Since his estimate was made the
price of cotton has advanced three
quarters of cent, so his estimate
has been not only confirmed, but in
all probability will have to be en-
larged. South Carolina farmers will
make as much in proportion at the
Georgia farmers.
Figures such as these are well
calculated to inspire the farmers OF
the South with greater courage and
optimism than they have had for
long time. Indeed, it begins to
seem that they are at last about to
come INTO their own.
It is now a known fact that the
crop will be short in Texas and in
many of the other cotton growing
States of the West. Every channe!
Of trade has already begun to feel
the impetus Of good prices for cot
ton and the belief seems well found
ed that this is but the beginning
of one of the most prosperous sea-
sons in the history of the South.

Let Us Have the Facts.

II Mr. L. r. CLAWS, chief Of the
Seattle field division of the land
Office until removed by Baflinger,
has the ammunition he intimates, In
teresting firing from his quarter may
be expected. After Mr.. Taft per-
mitted Ballinger to cut of CLAWS
head the latter wrote to the Presi-
dent. He said In part: "As chief
of field division directly concerned,
and because of the tremendous values
involved. felt my personal respon-
sibility most keenly. The evidence
indicated that a great syndicate is
trying to secure a monopoly of this
coal. In direct violation of the law.
Ultimately I felt myself obliged to
appeal to you over the heads of my
superior officers, In order to bring
about the enforcement of the law,
which in mesaure would conserve
these coal lands to the people at
large. 1 deemed 1t my duty to sub
nit the facts to you, and l can not
regret my action. Since there may
be now ,,even greater danger that
the title Of these coal lands will
be fradulently secured by the syn
dicate, 1t is no less my duty to my
country to make public the facts in
my possession, concerning which
firmly believe that you have been
misled. This I shall do in the near
future, with a full sense Of the Sc
:riousness of my action and with
deep and abiding respect for your
great Office" We hope Mr.. CLAWS
will keep his word, and tell us all
about the rascalities of the interior
department OF course there is no
place for an honest man like Mr..
CLAWS In an administration like
President Taft's. which was organiz-
ed and Is being run in the interests
of Just such men as had been fired
from bis JOB by Taft. No pubic
official will be tolerated by Taft who
is not willing to serve the trusts.

What n Juror Says.

One of the jurors who was on the
Farnum case makes this statement:
Eve went to the room at 1915
O'Clock this morning. All of us were
deeply interested in the trial and
the testimony, and it was my obser-
vation that every man in the room
was a serious thinking man, who
knew his responsibility and intended
to do his duty as he saw it. When
we were all in the room and had
time to learn the opinion Of each,
as to what verdict should be render
cd. it developed that eleven were
for acQuittal and one for convlc-
ton. For five long hours We argued
with this man. We believed that
money had been paid, and eleven
of Us were convinced that it was
merely given as rebate in the reg
ular course of business, and there
was no evidence, as We understood 1t,
that would tend to make one believe
that the money was given for cor
ruDt purposes. When the one juror.
who was for conviction, had heard
several Of the jurors explain their
views on the testimony offered, ne
came around to our side 4 vote
was then taken. and all of us voted
for the acquittal of Mr.. Farnum
We don't believe that the testimony
of the alleged accomplices OF Mr.,
Farnum had been corroborated by
the testimony Of Others. How an
intelligent man can make such a
statement as the above is above ouI
comprehension.

CARGO OF SARD1NES
Shipped to the H. G. Leiding Com
pany of Charleston.

The News and Courier gays the
schooner Herbert May, Capt. Black.
loaded solidly with American canned
sardines, Is on her way to Charles
ton, and Is expected to arrive there
in the course Of the next two days.
The schooner will have the dtstinc-
tion of bringing the first solid cargo
of sardines to a South Atlantic port.
The cargo is consigned to the H. G..
Leiding Company, the same company
that brought out large shipment
of Salmons last winter.
The matter Of disposing Of such
an immense amount Of sardinee was
no easy matter, but the bulk Of
the cargo had been placed before
the schooner commenced her voyage
Southwark, and since the sailing OF
the vessel the entire cargo has been
sold. The canned goods were ship
ped by the North Lubbock manufac-
turing and Canning Company, Of
Eastport, Me-, and the cargo con-
sists of $4,000 cases, 100 cans to the
case, or 100000 cans.
The Leiding Company has sold
the sardlnes in South Carolina. North
Carolina, Alabama and Georgia. and
the order were received from the
largest wholesale houses lin these
States.S One-fourth of the cargo has
been sold In Charleston. # Char
