WILL TAKE STEPS TO
DUST JUSTICE FRANKLIN

The Supervisors of Imperial County,
convinced of the unfitneSS OF Justice
Of the Peace Franklin to fill that office,
Yesterday passed a resolution to i'm
peach that official. but being informed
later by District Attorney Swing thar
tney had no power 10 act in that ca
pacity, they Iescinded their action,
With the understanding that charges
If drunkenness be preferred against
the Justice before the grand jury at its
next session.
Recently there has been IA great deal
If complaint on this score, and the
conuuct of the justice has been CON
sldered by the supervisors on a pre-
vious occasion.
But the matter was brought to a
head yesterday when the Dean blind
pig case came before him. There were
so many peculiar features of the case
lat the suspicion of the supervisors
we're aroused and they attended the
nearing in Il body.
1t was a clear cut case. and Dean
entered a plea of guilty. The justice
then sentenced him to pay a fine of
$3.50 and to Imprisonment for ninety
DAYS. remitting the imprisonment fea-
tutt anu oINCl MS lltN ia ioohNi ui7
charged.
District Attorney Swing then called
IN the sheriff to take Dean in custody,
IN the ground that under the law the
Justice had no authority TO remit the
sentence. and the sherin did so, despite
he protests of the Justice.
Later. the justice made out the pa
pers in the case, and instead of con
forming TO the sentence spoken in the
court. he changed it TO a probation
case. thus aiming to give Dean his
freedom.
1t was after watching proceedings il
court that the supervisors went tC
heir room and passed the resolution
)f Impeachment.
1t would be possible to get up a
recall petition and remove the justice
in that way, but it is thought in this
case to be quicker and less eXpensiv,
to prefer charges of drunkenness be
fore the grand jury and thus secure his
removal.

BARRIERS BURNED AWAY

II Deliberately and with malice
aforethougnt this journal some weeks
ago set fire to the barriers that existed
between this valley and the cities OH
the coast
These barriers We're indifference
and prejudice on the part of the
newspapers, the financial institution
and the people in general living j.
the more populous section.
The torch which was used to sta
the confiagration was the flame [
truth, and no sooner was the blaZ
kindled than it spread through all
Southern California, with the resu g.
that already the barriers are buneI
away.
A new relationship between the val
ley and the coast has resulted
The newspapers have taken up tn
stories of progress The Press has re
cited.
The banks and loan ASSOCIATION
have anew sent their representative
to the valley to make loans.
The real estate agencies of the larg
er cities have awakened to the new
order of Things and have begun to di-
rect their clients hither.
The change that has taken place is
phenomenal. The streets of Ell Centre
are thronged with strangers, and
many of them are seekers for homes.
Farms are being subdivided and places
thus found for added population.
The valley grows. The cities ON.
Prosperity and cheer and horefulness
and confidence are everyw here.
II is new order of things, but still
&c hyIt no i,,o of no
of progress. 1t is the inception of the
real boom that is to come. No one
who has been through Developments
booms elsewhere doubts this.
BY indescribable sense of atmos-
pheric change one knows that vino
or rain storm is threatened. There i.
tie same indescribable sense of boon
atmosphere that always precedes the
hQomitseh. 1t creeps upon a CON
munity unawares The chronic crouch
grows ashamed of himself and sneak;
into his hiding place. The man o.
hope and expectation rules. He dom.
mates everywhere, the very trees rus
tie in sympathy with hopes and III,
electric wires vibrate in harmony
You cannot see nor feel nor taste no,

is indescribable which foretells it
But the boom is here. All men know

Imperial Valley is coming into its
own. Its grand destiny lies jus
ahead. The thousands who are hero
know this, and. the tens of thousands

 DISCUSS THE CASE

 Among Themselves

Los Angeles, Cal, November 9.-Possible cuss the McNamara murder case with prospective veniremen received recognize arce from Judge Walter Bordwell, speak ing from the bench today.
 Speaking to the three jurors and three accepted talesmen in the trial of James B. McNamara, the judge admonished them not to discuss the case among them selves or to mention it In any way.
 Clark McLain, Pasadena banker, joined Brewster c. Kenyon, reputed capitalist, as a talesman accepted by both sides as to cause. J. B. Sexton, a retired farmer, made the third. Jurors Robert Bain. F. D. Green and Byron Lisk, already sworn, appeared in court only at the beginning and end of each session. They were allowed to remain the most of the time in the jury room.
 In the afternoon the five were excused, among them being N. Bryte, whose ill., ness in the earlier part of the session re- viewed anxiety regarding the possibility that sickness among jurors might inter fere with the proceedings.
 John S. Redfern, after being passed for cause by the defense, was successfully challenged by the state after he had said he would not convict in capital case on circumstantial evidence.
 Charles Roth, grocer, was examined at the afternoon session of court. T had an impression that the Times building was blown up by gas" said Roth. T did not think one man could carry out a work of-that kind or that a body of men could be SO debased as to take the lives of men against whom they had no grievance"
 He was passed by the defense, but De- cause he said he would not convict in a capital case on circumstantial evidence alone and for implied bias he was ex- cused.

1st. Fowls of all kinds entered for
premiums must be raised by the

this was the best plan to encourage
home industry.

invited to put such on exhibit, giving
pedigree, etc, if at hand. Such stock
will be judged according to their
markings, and will be given the pre-

will be required to furnish a certifi-
cate from the seller as to date of

THE BOARD WANTS S12,5OO
Fer Enlarging School Building in
Dawson. Plans Submitted by
Architect Lockwood,

At a meeting on Tuesday of the
board of public school commission
ers of Dawson two plans for en-
larging the school building were
submitted by Mr.. Lockwood, an
architect from Columbus.
One Of the plans is for an addition
in front of the present building to
include four new class rooms with
an auditorium on the second floor,
and the other plan calls for this
same addition on the north side.
The proposed improvements would
cost about $12,500 and a resolution
was passed the board requesting the
city council to provide the money.
The matter will be taken up with the
council at once, as the proposed ad-
dition to the building is needed be-
fore the opening of the fall session.
