program this year.
AS this is the closing week, the ques-
tion of next years assembly Is being
taken up The management does not
want to leave Hiawatha, but there
must be earlier assurances as to the
park than was had this year. owing
to the uncertainty that prevailed un.
til late this spring, many persons who
would have come to Hiawatha went
elsewhere. If the management can
be assured of the sale of not less than
500 tickets next season, and If # is
certain before Oct. that the park can
be had next year, the management
will arrange to hold the assembly
here. otherwise new location will
be sought-or rather one of the dozen

hustle to keep them here and make

Given In Evening By Prof.
John Duxbury
The Annual Meeting Of The
Ohio B. Y. P. u.
To Occur Tuesday Morning
In The Auditorium

Sunday was great day at Hiawatha
Lake assembly. The weather was ex-
tremely delightful throughout the day
and evening, and the services were
largely attended. The crowds were
made up largely of religious people,
and nearly every person who visited
the assembly attended the services.
The Sunday school session at 900
o'clock was a great feature of the
day and the lesson was presented in
most attractive way. AT 10:30, DR..
Sucker of Ottawa, Kan, the assemb-
ly' pastor preached an excellent SER
mon to a large audience. DR.. Lin
coin Hulley of DeLand, Fla, arrived
at the park Sunday afternoon just in
time to fill his appointment at 2
o'clock. He preached on "The Ele-
ments of the Blessed Life" using the
beatitudes as the basis for mis- re-
marks. This address was the first of
the series that DR.. Hulley will deliver
this week on "The Teaching of Jesus
The auditorium was filled to it's ca
pacity Sunday evening, when Prof.
John Duxbury of Manchester, Eng,
gave his recital on "The Book of job y
The evening was opened with a most
delightful service of song led by Rev.
Mr.. Griffeth of GAINESVILLE, assembly
chorister. Among the numbers used
was "The Glory Song" which was
sung with power and enjoyment
Prof. Duxbury's recital was wonder
full and impressive. He gave his voice
and manner to each of the characters
in this well-known story, and carried
in a unique way to the great audi
ence each word and thought of the
book. 1t was much like sermon, pre-
sented by the living characters, the
Lord, the Adversary, Job, his wife
and his friends. Nothing like this has
heretofore been given Mt. Vernon
audience, and the Book Of Job was
given a new meaning to those who
heard Prof. Duxbury.
On Saturday evening Mr.. Duxbury
recited Dickens Christmas Carol most
interestingly, placing before his audi
ence old Screws, the banker-miser and
the other characters in such life-like
way that the story will not soon be
forgotten by those who had the pleas
ure of hearing it. He closed that re
cital with Poe's "The Bells" and colo

the wonderful tonal qualities and the
complete mastery of his voice were
shown. The lyric musical quality o.
the poem was clearly brought out

CONTESTANTS LOSE
Former Employees of Stone Brothers Fail to Dust Them From Lands.

The United States land office has rendered two decisions in Imperial Valley. land contests by which c. P Stone and David P Stone, members of the firm of Stone Brothers of San Der nardino, are victors in the contests brought against them by J. B. French and F. J. Goodwin, both of San Der nardino, the contests in both cases being dismissed by the land office
 Goodwin brought contest against David P. Stone on a desert entry of 200 acres in the Imperial Valley Stone had purchased the claim on an assignment and the charge was set up by Goodwin that Stone had made the purchase with cash furnished by one W. w. Wilkins for the exclusive use and benefit of Wilkins. The case was heard last, January.
 The other case was brought by J. B French against c. P. Stone and invol- ved 40 acre desert entry claim, also in the Imperial Valley. French made the claim in this case as in the other case brought by Goodwin, that the cash was furnished by W. w. Wilkins and that the claim was for his benefit
 The land Office held that the eyi- dence in both cases was insufficient
 Goodwin and French were both formerly in the employ of Stone Bro thers. Some time ago they set up in business in opposition to their former employers and about the same time brought the land contests.

NEW NATIONALIST" PARTY
ITS PLATFORM CONSTRUCTED FROM ROOSEvELTS SPEECH ON JOHN BROWNS BATTLE GROUND AT OSSAWkTOME

We cannot afford weakly to blind ourselves to the actual conflict which faces us today. The issue is joined, and Be must fight or fall.
 We must drive the special interests out of politics. Every special interest isA entitled to justice-full, fair and HRplete-but not one is entitled to a vote in congress, vote on the bench, or to representation in any public office The constitution guarantees protection to property, and we must make that promise good But it does not give the right of suffrage to any corporation.
 The absence of effective state, and especially national, restraint upon un- fair money getting has tended to create a small class of enormously wealthy and economically powerful men, whose chief object is to hold and increase their power. The prime need is to change the conditions which enable these men to accumulate power which it is not for the general welfare that they should hold or ex ercise
 No man should receive a dollar un- less that dollar has been fairly earned. Every dollar received should repre- sent dollars worth of service ren- dered.
 I believe in graduated income tax on big fortunes and in another taX which is far more easily collected and far more effective-a graduated inner Cftance tax on big fortunes. It is of profound importance that our financial system should be promptly investigated and so thor oughly and effectively revised as to make it certain that hereafter our currency will no longer fail at critical times to meet our needs
 The natural resources must be used for the benefit of all our people and not monopolized for the benefit of the few That is one of the funda- mental reasons why the special inter- ests must be driven out of politics.
 Conservation is a great moral issue for it involves the patriotic duty of insuring the safety and continuance of the nation.
 We are face to face with new con- captions of the relations of property to human welfare chiefly because cer : tain advocates of the rights of prop erty as against the rights of men have been pushing their claims too far.
 The state must be made efficient for

SAMPLE COTTON PATCH
Three Hundred and Fifty Acres h Fine Condition on Fred Full
 ler's Farm.

One of the best cotton patches in Imperial Valley is Fred Fuller's $50 acres west of Heber. On almost the whole of the tract the stand is perfect, and experienced growers, who have inspected the fields, say that the bolls already set will make bale to the acre. The best growth is on land that had been in alfalfa for two or three years. MT. Fuller has cultivated and irrigated his cotton as thoroughly as possible, and has demonstrated that good farming produces the results in cotton growing as in other branches of agriculture. The planter that scratches the ground, drops some seed and leaves Nature to take it's course is pessimistic about the cotton indus try. There are some cotton patches in the valley that show that sort of farming.
 The plants in the Fuller fields are shoulder high, but they branch from close to the ground and are heavily laden with bolls at the bottom and are making more cotton at the top. The growth is so dense that it is diffi- cult to force a way through the field. It is certain that the full crop will be better than a bale to the acre, and the prospective profit, if the price of cot ton holds up to anything near the present quotations, is in the neigh borhood of $2O,OOO. Picking will be- gin on the Fuller place in about two weeks.

COTTON PACKERS COMING
Laborers Arriving From the Southern Cotton Belt to Help Garner lmpe-
 rial Valleys FIeecy Crop.

Widespread publicity throughout the Southern cotton belt of the mag nificent cotton crop now maturing in Imperial Valley, and the urgent need of skilled help for. picking the cotton, is having the result of bringing to this valley many Southerners. Within the past two weeks this has been es- pecially noticeable, and every inbound train during the present week has brought 10 the various valley towns people who have been attracted hither by the lure of news about the new cotton district.
 For more than month past parties of negroes from the South have been arriving, and have scattered out to the various plantations; but the move >ment of the past two weeks has been mainly of white families During the present week several large families 7fave arrived in Fl Centro expressly to engage in cotton picking. One family arrived on Tuesday morning, camped at the I.oftus office awaiting the opening of the office, and as soon as the office man arrived they an nounced that the entire family was
Imperial Valley press., 1910-09-03

ready to go into the cotton fields and pick cotton as long as they were need ed The result was that before night fall the family was installed in a tent at one of the cotton fields, had as sembled a camp outfit and was ready for the job the next morning, when the husband, wife and five children turned in to gather the lint.
 The colonist rates to California be- came effective on August 25 and will continue until September 9. They will be effective again on October l and continue until October 15 and it is expected that during that period another large influx of cotton pickers from the South will arrive
 However, should any shortage of Southern labor arise, the cotton grow CTS of this valley will not suffer for help, as it is known that if necessary carloads of Hindus now located in the San Joaquin Valley may be shipped here on short notice and placed in the cotton fields. It is said that they are more reliable as workers than the Southern negroes.
 The desire of those especially pro noting the cotton industry, however, is to induce experienced white cotton growers from the South to come to Imperial Valley to assist in caring for this seasons crop and secure land for raising cotton next season

A. Walton and Fl, B. Pearson have secured the state right to handle the machine and may install one of the gins at El Centro this season.

the work which concerns only the people of the state, and the nation for that which concerns all the people. There must remain no neutral ground to serve as a refuge for lawbreakers, and especially for lawbreakers of great wealth, who can hire the vulpine legal cunning which will teach them how to avoid both jurisdictions
 I do not ask for over standardization, but 1 do ask that we work in spirit of broad and far-reaching nationalisrl when we work for what concerns our people as a whole.
 The American people are right in demanding that new nationalism with out which we cannot hope to deal with new problems. The new nationalism puts the national need before sectional or personal advantage.
 It is impatient of the impotence which springs from the over division of government powers, the impotence which makes it possible for local sell fishness or for legal cunning, hired by wealthy special interests, to bring national activities to deadlock.
 This new nationalism regards the executive power as the steward of tho public welfare. It demands of the judiciary that it shall be interested primarily in human welfare rather than in property.
 I believe in shaping the ends of government to protect property as well as human welfare. Normally and in the long run, the ends are the same, but whenever the alternative must be faced I am for men and not for property I am far from underestima- ting the importance of dividends, but rank dividends below human character
 Those who oppose all reform will do we'll to remember that ruin in its worst form is inevitable if our nation al life brings us nothing better than swollen fortunes for the few and the triumph in both politics and business of sordid and selfish materialism.
 More direct action by the people in their own affairs under proper safe guards is vitally necessary The di- rect primary is step in this direction.
 Just in proportion as the average man and woman are honest, capable of sound judgment and high ideals active in public affairs-but first of all sound in their home life, and the father and mother of healthy children just so far and no farther we may count our civilization a success.

REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION TAXES PARTY CONTROL
 OUT OF HANDS OF PEANUT POLITICIANS

sary to adapt it to the requirements of Imperial County, and criticizes the railroads desert rate as inequitable and instructs the County Central Committee to prosecute vigorous campaign for readjustment.
 The struggle for control came to a head in the selection of delegates to the state convention The machine faction nominated R. Malan and l. B. Farnsworth, and the Progressives nominated F. M. Burger and Winthrop Pier. Burger and Pier were elected
 A few pertinent remarks were made by John M Eshleman, who had been invited to address the convention MT. Eshleman fired some of his re- marks straight into the faces of the little beaten bosses sitting in front of him. He said the false report that he was opposed to Mansfield had been circulated by men taking their orders direct from the office of the railroad machine. He had supported Mans field because he believed him to be a much better man than his affiliation indicated; because he believed Mans field, as a legislator, would not take orders from railroad lobbyists but would turn out to be a redhot insur- gent against the rule of greed and graft. The men that circulated the report knew it was untrue, and he be- lieved he had a right to ask of the convention that it select as delegates | to the state convention men who would not knife him in the back. He was against and proposed to keep up the fight upon men who were in poli- tics for business. 1 The County Central Committee, which will meet for organization on the last Saturday in September, is composed as follows:
