Major Forsyth and Supervisor Gabriel

Other serious charges were made by

MORE WATER COMING
Work on Weir Dam Progressing Rap idly and Reclamation Service
 Begins Kicking.

The effect of dumping rock from the trestle across the river at the heading yesterday was to increase the flow through the intake to 1440 second feet, although the river had subsided about to the minimum discharge of the season. Rock is being handled in two trains of seven cars each, one loading while the other Is dumping. Longer trains cannot be operated safely on the structure. The weir dam has raised the water several inches, as shown by rifle at the trestle.
 The dredge is working all right and is half way from the gate to the river. There are no bars in the intake that cannot be removed in few days. As work on the weir dam progresses, the flow into the intake may be ex- Dected to increase daily.
 Captain Bixby, of the U. S. En- gineer's office in Los Angeles, went to the heading yesterday to inspect the work, complaint having been made by the Reclamation Service engineers at Yuma that permanent dam was being built. The ground of complaint seems to be that the work is not be- ing done according to the plans of the dam started last year and does not include the use of a brush mat. The R. s. is strong on brush mats and kicked because Clarke would not use them when he closed the break; which, by the way, was none of the R. S's. business. The R. s. engineers think it will be hard to pull piles that are not driven through mats, but Clarke thinks it will be easier.

JOHNsOKs PLATFORM
Chief Purpose is to Kick MT. Herrin
 Out of the Politics of California.

When news of his nomination was confirmed, Hiram Johnson, Republican candidate for Governor, gave out to the public the following statement of his aims and purposes.
 'I feel deeply grateful tonight and realize that it was our cause that won this victory and the people of the state of California. have determined to gov ern themselves hereafter. The very same crusade that have preached at the beginning of this campaign will continue until out of the government of this state we put the Southern Pa cific Company and Wm. F. Herrin. Of course l refer to Mir. Herrin in political aspect
 "The result is an insurgent victory that sort of insurgency wherein the human being of the government is placed above the mere dollar.
 Personally, l will have one aim and one thought hereafter, and that is to do what l started out to do last March, kick MT. Herrin and the South ern Pacific Company out of part of the Republican party and the govern ment of the State of California.
 "On the preliminary proposition the fight has been made plain, and that the majority of the Republicans de- sired this consummation is evinced by the vote of Tuesday It will not be in rancor, in animosity or in hostility that shall proceed with the work think mine to do, but for the good government and decent politics of the state.
 T feel tonight so extremely grate- full to the people of the state that there is no room in my heart for bitterness. I simply feel the desire to accomplish something for Califor- mia and make its government better.
 Thereafter I shall be very glad to take up various matters of construc- tive reform, but 1 believe now as l have since 1 entered this contest, that before we can hope for remedial legislation or constructive reform we must eliminate those influences that have been debauching the government of California for so many years.
 "In conclusion I will say to the people of California that I give my heartfelt thanks for their support in this campaign"

BAND WILL REORGANzE
At Least Ten of Last Seasons Players Will Renew Their efforts to Give El Centro Good
 Concert Music.

Prospects are good for the re-or- ganization of the El Centro Concert Band for the ensuing fall and winter season on scale which will insure success from the outstart. H. A. Richardson, who has been playing with Ohlmeyer's Band at the Coro- nado Tent City as a soloist, and who was leader here last winter, will doubtless return to resume this posi- tion. This is made possible by the liberal response of the Fl Centro business men to the request for sub scriptions to sustain the band during the ensuing season.
 Besides the old members of this band, several competent musicians come into El Centro within the past few weeks, and others are expected early in the fall, so that the organi- zation will be stronger than ever before It is hoped the boys will be able to resume their rehersals ana public open-air concerts by the first of October.

SPALDING MAY WIN
SpreckeIs Paper Figures That He
 Leads Works in Returns.

A. G. Spalding has defeated John D. Works in the advisory vote on United States senator to succeed Sen Flint, according to the San Francisco Call. With only a few districts missing the Spalding total stood 41,142 at mid night, Thursday, with Works at 38,900. It is not thought that Works can over come this lead.
 The fight for the nomination for Secretary of State is still in doubt, with Frank Jordan claiming that he has won by small margin.
 The same tabulation that decides the senatorial fight gives Friend w. Richardson the nomination over w. w. Shannon for State Printer. Richard son has 35,695 votes while Shannon has been given 34,485.
 B. Grant Taylor, the insurgents choice for Clerk of Supreme Court, is leading William H. Bemiss, the regu- lar, by vote of 41,S75 to 36,493.

CALIFORNIA BIRDS
Only Four Species Found Harmful To
 Fruit Industry.

The Department of Agriculture has finished it's Investigation as to harm ful or beneficial effect of California birds upon the fruit industry of the State and has issued the second and final part of it's report in Bulletin No. 94 of the Biological Survey. Seventy species of birds were syste- matically investigated. Many of these have not been charged with injury of fruit or other farm products, but as almost all destroy harmful insects, or devour seeds of noxious weeds, they are important as a factor in farm economics. The aim has been to col lect all data possible on the food of the several species, so that a just verdict might be rendered as to the birds economic relations.
 Few birds are so destructive that their extermination can be urged on sound economic principles, says For est and Stream. Some, like the swal- lows, swifts, wrens and chicadees are so strictly insectivorous that they are exceedingly beneficial, while others may injure crops at certain times of the year, but the loss is exceedingly small, and if by it's insectivorous hab- it's the bird prevents greater destruc- tion than it inf1icts, the farmer should be willing to bear the lesser loss.
 A reasonable way of viewing the relation of birds to the farmer is to consider them as servants, employed to destroy weeds and insects, for whom food and protection are pro- vided. In the long run no part of the capital invested in the farm or or chard is more certain to pay big in- terest than the small sum collected as toll by the birds that harbor near the premesis. The extensive investi- cations undertaken in response to complaints concerning depredations by birds on the Pacific coast show that of the seventy species, whose stomach contents were under exami- nation, but four species common to California can be regarded as of doubtful utility. These are the linnet, California jay, Stellar jay and red breasted sapsucker.
 The more the food habits of birds are studied the more evident it be- comes that with a normal distribution of species and fair supply of natural food the damage to agricultural prod ucts by birds is. small as compared with the benefit. "'>
