Very many people have believed
that the warm weather here was due
to the comet. Many people in the
Mississippi valley thought the cold
weather there also to be due to the
comet To be up to their own logic
they must think that the recent winds

We're due to some sort of tanning
from the comets tail. How about
that?

HAIL TO THEODORE.

There is little place in Ike for the
timid good man."
Well, well-Theodore is speaking
to us once more.
Seems good to read those virile ut
terances again, does it not. Makes
a fellow feel like eating a few wire
nails. pounding the tar out of a con-
crete sidewalk, or somthing like that.
But hear him say:
1.-THE success or failure of our
republic will be conditioned upon
the way in which the average
man. the average woman, does
his or her duty. first in the ortin-
airy, everyday affairs of life and
next in those great occasional
crises which call for the heroic
virtues. The average citizen must
be good citizen if our republics
are to succeed. The stream will
not permanently rise higher than
the main source; and the main
source of national power and IA.
tiOnaI greatness is found in the
average citizenship OF the nation
Therefore il bchoovcs us to do
our best TO see that the standard
OF the average citizen is kept
high: and the average cannot be
kept high unless the standard of
the leaders is very much higher"
Its the clarion call to duty eman-
ating from the best political philos-
opher of modern times. He says
that you cannot have pure water
without protecting the stream all the
way up to its source,
That unifies the whole social fabric
into one body polite wherein the
poorest and most lowly is asked to
fill a place proportionally responsible
with the man of larger capacities and
superior mental and physical equip
ment.
Hear him say again:
THE average man must earn his
own livelihood. He should be trained
to do so, and he should be trained to
feel that he occupies a contemplate
position if he does not do so; that
he is not an object of envy if he is
idle, at whichever end of the social
scale he stands, but an object of con-
tempt. an object of derision.'
Then again;
II IL lot the t'Iltit WIN tOhilA~s
not the man who points out low
the strong man Stumbics or where
the doer of deeds could have done
better. The credit belongs to the
man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marTcd by dust and
sweat and blood: who strives val
iantly; who errs and comes short
again and again. because there is
no effort without error and short
coming; but who does actually
strive to do the deeds; who knows
the great enthusiasm, the great
devOtiOns; who spends himself in
worthy cause; who knows in
the end the triumph of high
achievement, and who at the
worst II he fails, at least fails
while daring greatly, so that his
place shall never be with those
cold and timid souls who know
neither victory nor defeat"
Now, cannot you see why Americas
prodigy has conquered the hearts o
every people of the world? 1t mat
tiers not what station in life a mar
may occupy, there is a message il
his words for that man. Somehow
his words strike the chord which Set
the hearts of all mankind beating il
unison. Strength, courage, sympathy
good cheer, fight, high ideals, ever,
human emotion, all of these thing
strangely intermingled are the equip
ment which Theodore Roosevelt eX
ercises unconsciously and these arr
the qualities of character which
seems to feel his presence again.

One of the finest recitals ever gwen
by piano pupils in North Yakima,
was the one given last evening in
the new St Joseph's Parish hall, by
the pupils of the st. Joseph's acad-
envy. The large hall was we'll filled
with appreciative listeners. and the
stage was artisticaly decorated with
a quantity of white and lavender Ii
laos arranged in tall vases. the dainty
flowers harmonized beautifully with
the scenery of the stage. The skill
with which the small BOYS and girls
played was remarkable and their ac-
curacy and expression showed the
most careful training as we'll as dill
gent practice. The selections requir-
ing twelve hands and eight hands
were played as though by one person
which reflects great credit upon the
instructors.

of the best vacuum cleaner in North
Yakima envious, In back room of
the telephone office there is a series
of contraptionS, electrical etc, and
perfectly understood by the tele-
phone employees, They open and
shut when a telephone call comes in
and the Difference between being
open and shut is about the thous-
andth part of an inch. The reason

mechanism won't work and the rea-
son that the mechanism won't work
is the dust which makes Yakima ia
nous. The least little speck of dust
in the bearings, will clog the whole
works. AS much dust as a person
gets on an average piece of rcstau
rant pie at this season of the year
would clog 1912 phones. Keeping
these things in working order means
housekeeping and any impatient lady

Commercial club, bright business
men as they are. could not succeed
in doing in seven weeks, and We're
doing it with precision. The lasI

showed a total of 14.010 calls in one

calls in an hour and the figures down

For an eampe she has to be able
to make connections for one call
while taking the numbers for the
the next. And she should be able to
remember three or four calls back
in cases where subscribers have not
answered and must be called again.
Somtimes an operator has to ask a
second time what the call was and
the thoughtfess person might con-
clude that that operator was not at
tending to business. But such is not
the case.
Morning Is Hardest.
The telephone CALLS are not evenly
distributed. The heaviest part Of the
day is between 9 and II o'clock in
the morning and and o'clock al
night, though why the close of the
day should be so busy is hard to de-
termine. The result, however. Is
that the greater number of calls are
crowded into a short time and have
to be attended to. The marvel Is
that subscriber gets such service
as is the case instead Of not getting
something better. 1t is almost i'm
possible to de better than a call every
five seconds.

and the Press applied to Col. Hola- bird for authentic information. This is Col. Holabird's reply:
 "It is not true that the "Sociedad" owns the headgate commonly known as Hanlons Heading, or the Intake at the Colorado river; that is a part of the California Development Com pany's property in charge of the Re- ceiver.
 "The Receiver is simply an officer of the Court; it would be impossible for him, impossible for the old corpo- ration California Development Com pany), or the Southern Pacific Com pany to dispose of the headgate, or any part of the California Develop ment Company's canal system with out an order of the Court, nor has there been any negotiation to this end between anybody and the Receiver.
 "At the last annual meeting of the "Sociedad" held a few weeks ago, the Receiver voted the stock, or a majority thereof, of the Sociedad, and MT. c, K. Clarke was elected one of the Directors of the Sociedad
 "Mr. Holabird has been informed by MT. Andrade, of Mexicali, that he is the Depositario, or Receiver, for the Mexican Company; that judgment was given the Southern Pacific Con- pany in the Court of the First In- stance at Mexicali months ago; that this judgment (from the last advices) has not yet been confirmed by the higher courts in the City of Mexico that when it is confirmed, MT. Hola- bird is advised, the Court will order the property sold very much as prop erty would be sold under similar con- ditions in the United States, except that railroad company cannot be purchaser as it does not hold proper concession for such purposes"
 MT. Holabird assures the Press that he has absolutely nothing to conceal in any of his transactions as a Court officer, and he is not and never will be a party, if he could (which is inn possible), to any star chamber trans action in connection with matter of such vital interest to the people of Imperial Valley.

SEEKING MORE WATER
Development Company Hopes to Clearly Define Artesan Belt by
 Sinking Numerous Test Holes.

Last Monday morning the Coachella Valley Development Company began the boring of test well on the town site of Alamo-io, located on the east banks of the Alamo river, four miles east of Brawley. If water in sufficient quantity Is struck at Alamorio, four inch hole will be sunk at once.
 This location Is about seven miles northwest of the Blodgett ranch, where a fine flow of water has been developed. About the first of July work will be started on drilling the municipal well at Brawley, and the results from these two wells will be of much service to the drilling com pany in determining the extent of the artesian belt. It is the hope of the members of this company to sink enough test wells to pretty clearly define the artesian belt. Work is also to begin soon on test we'll in Water District No 6, so that within the en- suing two months some valuable knowledge will be gained as to the prospect of finding a general artesian belt underneath the Imperial Valley.

NEW FIELD DIVISION
Southern California and Arizona Seg- gregated Into One District for
 Land Office Work.

A new field division, comprising Southern California and Arizona, with headquarters in Los Angeles, has been established by the general land office. The order establishing the new divi- sion becomes effective July 1.
 G. w. Helm, heretofore a special held agent of the government, has been appointed chief of the new field division. Offices of the department will be in the Federal Building at Los Angeles.
 Officials of the land office expect the new department greatly to facili- tate their work, as 1t will obviate the necessity of applying to San Francisco to have men detailed for field work in the Southwest.

It has been asserted positively and persistently, as if it were an undis- puted fact, that the headgate of the Imperial Valley canal system on the Colorado river is the property of the 'Sociedad", the Mexican corporation holding the concession from Mexico for a right of way for the canal through Mexican territory, and 1t is asserted with the same persistency, in the face of specific denials by man. agers of the C.-M. Co.,, that the Soci- edad has been sold by the Southern Pacific to the C.-M. Co. The Impe- rial Standard, in a recent issue, made this statement:
 That the California Mexico Land G Cattle Company today is owner of the Imperial heading and of all the late possessions of the California Develop ment Company in Mexico;
 That this condition has been brought about secretly by the Los Angeles Times crowd which owns the C.-M. Company and the Southern Pa cific railroad, which formerly owned the property above referred to;
 That the water users of Imperial Valley will be forced under this deal to secure their water supply from their competitors in the use of the water, the Times crowd, incorporated through the Mexican company into a body not answerabe to the courts of the United States.
 This would be important if true, and the Press has endeavored to ascertain how much, if any of it, has any color of truth. Judge Cole, of the Superior Court, was unable to say what the status of the Sociedad is or how much of the canal system it controls. Harry Chandler and Manager Bowker of the C.-M. Co.,, denied positively and un- equivocally that the company had acquired or desired to acquire any interest in the Sociedad. They said they would not take the Sociedad as a gift.
 It seemed evident that the facts should be known to the receiver of the California Development Company,
