question is, How does Mir. Stanton size up with the other aspirants?
 We need a Governor from Southern California this next term Aside from the fact that it is pretty good thing to have a Governor from your own part of the State at any time, 1t Is particularly important now. The next legislature makes the reapportionment for Assembly, Senatorial, Congress- ional and perhaps Equalization Dis tricts on the basis of the census of 1910. There is always a great deal of importance connected with this re- districting, and this will be particular ly true when this is next done by reason of our greatly disproportion- ate increase in population over other parts of the state. Our representa- tion in the legislature should be two or three times as great as it is now. There is greater disproportion in the way the equalization districts are lOi hSu' lu6Ie dIc lOuT OI JneSS UlS- tricts and the assessed valuation of property in the state is approximately $2,440 ,0000O0 Of this total, our dis trict, the fourth is assessed at $1,202,- 100000 nearly one-half of the entire amount The first district. which in cludes San Francisco, has valuation of $539,OOO,OO6, and the second dis trict, which includes Alameda county has $339,OOO,0O0, and the third dis trict which covers Northern Califor- mia, has $3OO,OOO,0OO.
 The four members from the districts and the State Controller constitute the Board of Equalization; thus, with one-half of the assessed valuation of the state we really have but one member out of five on the Board. It is not necessary to point out to you how important the position of Cover , nor, holding the veto power is, in l legislation affecting this matter of re- districting.
 I am taking an interest in Mir. Stanton's canvass and I have taken the liberty of suggesting these ideas to you.
 Very truly yours,

sALToN SEAS PERMANENT LEVEL
Records For Past Year Show One Foot Less Fall Than Previous
 Year.

That the Salton Sea is destined to be permanent feature of the land scape is evident from a letter from H. A. Jones, formerly the observer at the Brawley station of the Weatn- CT Bureau, who is now in charge of the main station at the Salt Creek Trestle of the Salton Sea, says the Brawley News. MT. Jones states that during the year ending May 1, the sea fell only four feet, while the pre- vious year the fall was five feet This discrepancy is accounted for by the fact that as the water recedes, the area for evaporation is less and the waste water from the mountains and the Imperial canal system conpen- sates in greater measure for the loss. As the waste from the canal system will increase as years pass, only a short time will elapse until the point will be reached where the sea will be at standstill.
 MT. Radel, who has been in charge of the station, has gone to Colorado, to take up the forestry work, and MT. Jones has been placed in charge of the Salt Creek work until July 1, when he also will leave for Colorado.

A GOVERNOR FROM THE SOUTH

Communication
 Editor Imperial Valley Press; Sir:
 have read with much interest your editorial under date of May 14th head ed Some Political Remarks" There is much truth embodied in the article. The new Primary Law does not of it. self call the biggest men in the state into the candidacy for Governor. But I hardly think you do MT. Stanton the full credit of his merit as a man of experience in public affairs. We, who have seen him grow up from a boy may not have the best perspec- tive for sizing him up. It is unde- niable, however, that he did make a very able legislator and in all the i'm portant matters of legislation he acted in a most satisfactory way.
 think it is the general agreement among business men of Los Ange- les that they have not had in the legislature so satisfactory a represen- tative since the days of Stephen M. White. He has been independent and fearless of the powers of corpora tions and of unreasonable popular prejudices. This was shown in his successful effort in behalf of the Ow- ems River Aqueduct legislation and the consolidation act which enabled Los Angeles to consolidate with Whining ton and San Pedro, and in his stand on the anti-Japanese legislation.
 The present situation is that all candidates for nomination on the Dem ocratic ticket and four out of five on the Republican ticket are from the north part of the state. MT. Stanton is the only nominee residing in South ern California. Some one of these various candidates will undoubtedly be elected Governor. The practical

MANUFACTURES FORM
HALF OF OUR EXPORTS
Goods That Left United States
in Eight Months Were VAL
ued at $1,O27, 900, 900.

For the first time in the history Of this
country's commerce, manufactured prod
ucts constitute more than one-half the
total exports Of the United States. Dur
ing the eight months ended with August
there were exported in all 81 OCT 600, 900
worth Of goods. Manufactured products
composed more than 81 per cent of that,
valued at more than $54o, 900 600 Exports
Of that class represented $2,5OO,OOO for
each business day. Twenty years ago
they were only little more than $75O,uOO
a day.
According to the bureau Of statistics Of
the Department of Commerce and Labor,
the increased values in the manufactures
are not due to generally increased prices.
In most cases they are caused by a grow
ing trade. Recent Investigations of the
bureau show a downward tendency in
prices Of both exports and imports during
recent months.
With the growth OF trade the dstribu-
ton of exports has been markedly chang
ed. Only SO per cent of the total exported
manufactures went to Europe during the
first eight months of this year. That
class has been decreasing gradually since
1880. when 1t formed SO per cent of the
whole The statisticians draw the con-
clusion that the trade of the United
States Is broadening and now finds its
way to every corner of the earth
