Thirty men are now given regular employment at the Sim ons works The company is sending out material to all valley towns and has increased the capacity of it's plant by the addition of new machinery. The clay is proving of even better quality than that first used, as more sand is encountered as the pit deepens.

CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
Philip Stanton Comes to Imperial Val ley to be Sized up by the
 People.

Philip A. stanton, who is seeking the Republican nomination for Gov ernor of California, came to Imperial Valley this week to get acquainted with the people and win their sup port of his candidacy. He was ac- companied by Winfield Hogaboom, a well-known newspaper man of Los Angeles, as campaign manager.
 MT. Stanton depends upon Southern California to give him votes enough at the primary to defeat Hiram John son, the Lincoln Roosevelt League candidate, and Anderson, supposed to be the railroads choice. He was a staunch supporter of Pardee four years ago, and opposed the nomination of Gillett, and therefore was roasted to a turn by the Los Angeles Times. Now he is endorsed and praised by the Times and apparently is accept able to the railroads political bureau, if not it's first choice.
 MT. Stanton visited all the valley cities and talked with their people, but made no formal speeches. He was introduced by his manager as "the next Governor"

GRAND JURY's REPORT

"Bl Centro, Cal, April 2, 1910. ITO the Board of Supervisors of Im- perial County:
 "The Grand Jury believes that the fullest publicity in matters of county expenditures will operate to encourage economy in all departments of the county business; it therefore recom- mends that there be published month ly full statement of all warrants approved, giving the amounts, the purpose of the payment and the per- son to whom it is to be made; and that from time to time as is most con- venient, the amounts of commissions and fees collected by the various of ficers and appearing in the county records be likewise published.
 "It is also recommended that, as concerns expenditures from the road funds, the proposed publication be made, so far as possible, in papers issued in several road districts of the county.

ANOTHER ARTISAN WELL

Another artesian we'll was develop ed last Tuesday in the Holtville dis trict by the Coachella drillers. They drilled the hole for Henry Stroven, the first valley rancher to prospect for artesian water, whose farm is five miles north of Holtville, and at a depth of 239 feet they struck good, cold water that arose four inches above the top of the pipe. The indi- cations are that it will be easy to get water at moderate depths any where in the Holtville region, and many ranchers are figuring on having wells drilled to obtain good water for domestic use and for stock.

SUICIDE OF AN INDIAN

Joe Escalante, aged 35 years, a Yu- ma Indian and disciplinarian of the Yuma Indian School, in Imperial Coun- ty, committed suicide recently by shooting himself through the head with a revolver. He was a married man and had several children. A pe- culian feature of the inquest held on this body was that all the men con- posing the coroner's jury were resi- dents of Yuma, Arizona, and that af- ter viewing the body further deliber- ations were held in Arizona, although the mans death occurred in Imperial County, California. On the morning following Escalante's self destruction his body was cremated by the Yuma Indians with their usual ceremonies.

GREAT DIFFERENCE

London. July 23.-lf Mrs. Ava
Astor gives up London for New York
and Newport il will not be because
she is homesick, as some of her
friends in Paris intimated. 1t will be
because she finds London different

with curtailed allowance from what
it was to her as the wife of an Am

But she will not go to New York
for several weeks at all events and
she still retains the lease of a house
in London. Moreover, she seemed to
be enjoying herself fairly well be-
tween golf and tennis. She figured
again yesterday in the tennis tourna-

ed by such campaign, It may at least
bring to attention the exact political
conditions of the country and reveal
a larger proportion of illiterates than
statistics even intimate
The population is divided into two
classes-a small one, verbose and
more or less educated, which consists
of the members of the house of lords
and the chamber of deputies, and a
large one, the people almost illiterate
and completely ignorant outside GER
tain mean knowledge of local advant-
ages and disadvantages.
A more invidious but no less ac-
curate division would be: About 300
pluckers and over 5000, 900 plucked.
The house of lords (Camara dos
Paresl consists of fifty-two heredi-
tary members, thirteen prelates and
ninety life members, appointed by the
king; the lower house, elected by the
people, numbers 1873 members.
At present all the power is in the
lower stratum. which fact is likely to
prove cataclysmal, as It did a few
years ago when the flood of discon-
tent swept Dom Carlos from his
meager holding on Portuguese his
tory.
A really rich princess might save
the situation for the throne. But
this might is fine drawn. The
Portuguese republic is already mar
gined against the next chapter of
European history, and in letters of

more reasonably set forth in lawyers

II is useless to talk of foreign in
tercession to maintain a rotten kings
ship. The reactionaries of Portugal |
must understand that such illusions |
are most completely illusions, and |
that the voice of the people. if not the
voice of their historic god. is, at any
rate, the voice of god whose phras-
ing has but one sense and but one
stitution-Portugal for the Portu
suese.

KING
UNWILLING TO RETIRE

Lisbon, July 23.-A rumor was re-
Gently sent broadcast that the young
king of Portugal, overwhelmed by the
cares which he inherited from his
assassinated father and brother, had
decided to abdicate in favor of his
uncle, the Infante Alfonso, Duke of
Oporto. The tracing of this rumor
to its source revealed rather inter-
esting state of affairs, principally be-
cause Dom Manuel could not possibly
abdicate in any ones favor, and even
if he did abdicate. a republic would
certainly be declared.
1t seems that the rumor arose from
a conversation the king had with one
of the editors of o Mundo, the chief
Republican paper. The king re-
marked that, although he and the
editor might have different political
ideas, yet they were as one in pre-
serving the peaceful state of Portu-
gal.
To which the Republican editor
replied:
1T will give us great pleasure If
your majesty follow in King Ed
wards footsteps and pursue his lib
eral ideas, even though we ourselves
maintain our own ideals, which are
those really held by the majority of
your subjects"
Prove this replied the king.
and you will find that your ideals
shall prevail. | am a patriot, only
desiring all good things for my coun-

is attempting to obtain a plebiscite of
Portugal as to the idea of having the
turned into a republic. AL
