ROBINsON'S MISTAKE.

Many papers over the state are expressing the opinion that Con- gressman Joe T. Robinson, of this District, made serious mistake when he announced for the United States senate to succeed Jeff Davis. They all agree that MT. Robinson had the Governors office ''cinched.' The lat est acknowledgement comes from the Dumas News, which has the follow ing to say on the matter in recent editorial:
 It is stated that Robinson, Bucn- didge and Donaghey will all get into the race against Davis. We'll, we predict here and now that if they all stay in the race the situation will remain unchanged and Jeff will land back in the Senate an easy winner. Fact of the matter is that any one of the three gentlemen named would have his hands filled with the task of wrestling from Jeff the position he now occupies, while asking for a second term.
 Many of Joe Robinson's friends are completely at loss to understand this move of his. He is very popu- lar in his district and elsewhere in the state. His friends believe that he can secure the nomination for gov ernor against the entire field and they are anxious to have him run. He should by all means let Brundidge and Donaghey decide the question sf senatorship to their swa satisfaction

 Vibina's.

Rev. Edward Schmitt, rector of the Catholic Churches at El Centro Holt vile and Calexico, is in Los Angeles on a mission for the benefit of the church building fund for Fl Centro Tomorrow at the 10:30 o'clock high mass al St. Viblna's Cathedral, he will deliver sermon, and will also have an opportunity to present to the con gregation of the Cathedral parish the church needs of this rapidly grow ing Valley and the especial needs for new Catholic Church edifice at El Centro This unusual privilege was given Father Schmitt by Bishop Con- aty, who has eyinced a lively interest In Imperial Valley ever since his visit here a year ago,
 The plans for the new St. Marys Church edifice call for structure with a frontage of fifty-six feet on Fifth street, and a depth of eighty five feet on Orange avenue.

Merry Christmas

Wen keep our Christmas merry still.
Each age has deemed the newborn
year
The 6ttest time for restal cheer.
And well our Christian sires of old
Loved when the year its course had
rolled
And brought blithe Christmas back
again
With all his hospitable train.
Domestic and religious rite
Gave honor TO the holy night.
On Christmas eve the bells were rung;
On Christmas eve the mass was sung;
That only night in all the year
Saw the stoied priest the chalice rear.
The damsel donned her kirtle sheen:
The hall was dressed with holly green;
Forth to the wood did merry men 60
To gather In the mistletoe.
Then opened wide the baron's hall
To vassal. tenant. serf and all;

TO Use Up BURNED TREES
Government Wants Pulp Mills
In Forests.
CLAIMS SCHEME WOULD PAY
Timber is Being Sold at Very Low
Price.

In selling the timber burned
during the disastrous forest fires of
last August, the government is
trying so to distribute the wood
that it will not overstock any of
the markets. Many companies
which are buying this timber are
.'putting it in the lake." said
Associate Forester Potter. This,
he explained, is scientific term
used by lumbermen applying to
the practice of storing timber in
lakes orponds until ready for use.
BY this treatment Of the lumber,
even though it may be burned, &C.
cording to lumber experts in the
forest service, most of it will keep
for approximately 20 years. Some
species, however, they declare,
will become waterlogged within a
short period. This timber is laid
around the water edges, where it
will be the first used.
In the Clearwater district, where
the wood is particularly adapted
to the making of wood pulp, the
forest service is attempting to
have some of the pulpmaking con-
Germs enter the forests and build
their plants on the ground for the
purpose of using up the burned
timber. There is enough of this
timber, it is said, with the reduced
price at which it is sold, to com
pensate the companies for building
plants in the forests.

How Corbin Was Lost.

Four weeks from the date on which

Corbin, vice president of the Union
Savings Building and Trust company
Of Boise, was found Dec. 9, IL miles
from Big Springs, Idaho. the point
where Corbin's party had made a
camp month ago. Death evidently
had occurred several days before
probably from exposure. His horse
was found dead near Corbin's body
and it is the belief of the woOdsmen
of tue country that Corbin bad
wandered aimlessly about the mouE-
| tains until he was showed 10 and
then died. Corbin was last seen on
November 10, when he left Harry
