l22 Feet
Below Sea L.eval.
(By j. G.. Wheelon.)

CaleXlcO, GAL, May Is, 1910.
Leaving Garland Saturday
morning, May 18th, 1900 feet
above sea leval, and dropping
into the Imperial valley 100 feet
below sea .leval Monday even
ing, May 10th, is "going down
some," and while / have not yet
met the red man with horns
and trident, IL seems about hot
enough for him. We have
just returned from an automo-
bile ride Of 50 miles, in which
we covered a district about half
as large as the state of Rhode
Island, examining canals, head
gates, fumes and controlling
works of all kinds and discrip-
tons, passing miles of alfalfa,
barley and cotton fields, seeing
an asparagus field from which
the owner had just finished
harvesting and shipping four
carloads of asparagus this sea-
son; barley in stacks and the
second crop of alfalfa being
cut. We passed more than
dozen diaries where IS to 100
cows at each were pasturing in
the alfalfa fields. At one place
we stopped the owner was milk
ing 60 cows, but does not own a
moving machine and has not
fed 10 tons of hay during the
last four years. He has 100
acres. of alfalfa and when one
pasture gets short or dry, he
turns them into another with
feed up to their eyes-this go
ing on winter and summer.
They harvest barley and plant
cotton as soon as the land is
irrigated and plowed and will
pick the cotton this fall, thus
getting a crop of barley and a
crop of cotton inside of twelve
months. The valley we passed
over today is as smoothe as a
billiard table (if you have ever
seen one,) tipped up on a slope
of 7 feet to the mile. We
noticed where some water had
flown into the road and had
followed the wagon wheel track
for more than a mile. The
wagon had turned down a
cross-rOad and the water had
followed the track; / presume
it is still going. We passed a
flock of Angora goats in a big
field that had recently been
clipped of their feathers. In
the center of the field was a
stack of hay and the goats had
eaten around it until it resembl-
ed an umbrella. Mr.. Haddle-
bird, the receiver for the canal
company, pointed out this stack
to us and stated that that was
the kind of mushrooms they
raised here, so you can easil.v
see how he got his job. Mark
Austin is here with us, but
stated that he was anxious to
get home as he felt sure if we
stayed here a week longer, we
never would be able to tell the
truth again.
Thursday, May 10Th, we took
75-mile ride to see the repairs
made at the great breach in the
Colorado river that threatened
the valley to years ago; also
visited the new 15-mile levee
now in course of construction.

ASK YOUR SHOE DEALER.

The Salt Lake Tribune. which has
now come out openly IN favor OF the
Democratic party. and Is doing its
best to carry out its share OF the deal
that II has made with the Demo-
cratic leaders in Utah, said Tuesday
morning that Senators Smoot and
Sutherland and Congressman Howell
had voted against placing hides on
the free list, and that therefore they
had added to the burdens OF the peo-
pie. OF course. what the Tribune
meant was that by voting for a tariff
on hides the Utah congressional dele
cation had added 10 the cost Of boots
and shoes.
1t is an open question whether the
man who wrote that was merely a
lSnave or only a fool. He was either
or both. IN the first place. hides were
placed on the free list in the Payne
tariff bill. and hides from all over the

votes of Senators Smoot and suther-
land and Congressman Howell could
not have added much to the burdens
OF the people since hides went to the
free list.
Now. in spite OF the fact that hides
went to the free list, boots and SHOES

six months. Eighteen months ago

HANGED TO TREE
Mob at TiptonvilIe Quietly Wreaks-
Vengeance.

Tiptonyille, Tenn, Sept. 13.-WitI
their wrists handcuffed together, the
bodies Of Bob ,icspadden and viii
Sharpe, negroes. were found hanging
to the limb Of tree in the bottom
country near here at daybreak to-day,
where they had been taken and hanged
at an early hour this morning by a
hundred determined men.
The crime for which the blacks paid
the penalty with their lives was enter
! ing the room d two young white girls,
the daughters 81 Jack Downing, farm
er living several miles out Of town.
The attempted assault occurred Sat
urday night The negroes were identi-
fed next morning by a cap belonging
to Sharpe, which had fallen on the bed.
The young ladies were awakened by
a noise in the room, late Saturday night,
and discovered one of the blacks sitting
on the edge Of the bed, the other in the
room. Screaming at the top Of their
voices, they frightened the negroes
away, one Of them going through the
window, carrying the sash with him
and breaking the glass.
They we're taken into custody early
Sunday and Sharpe, after a sweating,
confessed telling that Mcspadden was
the second party. They were lodged
in Jail and it was thought there would
be no demonstration,
Last night at an early hour towns
people began to gather in the principal
streets and were soon reinforced by
large numbers OF farmers from the
Downing neighborhood and all parts of
the county.
Sheriff G. III. Haynes and Constable
G. G. Thomas spirited the negroes out
OF town and were trying TO reach a sand
pit on the Chicago, Memphis and Gulf
road, taking cut through the heavy
woods.
The mob stormed the jail, but find
ing it empty, followed the sheriff and
the negroes, and after a four-hour hunt
came upon them lying on the ground
in the bottom land, the sheriff making
a desperate attempt to save his prison
ers.
The mob was determined, and at the
point OF hundred guns took the ne
ffroes from the officers and hanged them
as the sheriff had them, with their
wrists handcuffed together.

Crinoline is Coming.
Avaunt the hobble skirt.

Avaunt the hobble skirt
Paris declares the Crinoline must have
its inning, and there is every indication
that within twelve months the women
Of America viii be wearing balloon skirts
and small hats
The steel trust-cruel poonster--is
said to be behind the hoopskirt move
ment
Allied metal trades are studying the
fashion plates, and there is every indi-
cation that concerted attempt will be
made to put every American woman
into steel hoops.
In Paris the skinny women are
charged with having encouraged the
crinoline style in the hope of covering
up their lack of plumpness, but the thin
women have Indignantly retorted that
they look better in tight skirts than
their fat sisters, and have no reason to
seek new styles.
When the big skirts and the small
hats hit America it will look as though
the feminine population had been in
verted, but fashion DEGREES the change
and the world will soon get accustomed
TO the innovation.
Many attempts to popularize hoop
skirts IN recent years have failed. Wo-
men have accepted the haircloth crino-
line skirts belled cut in hoop fashion,
but hitherto they have generally es-
chewed the real hoopskirts.
However, with the steel trades pushing
the hoopskirt it will probably win out. |
Andrew Carnegie generally succeeds |
when he starts out to do anything.
For two years the great problem with
mankind has been what to do with his
head when the big hats entered street
car. In the near future mans problem
will doubtless be what to do with his
feet when the hoopskirts heaye in sight. Il
