MANILA, 2. l., Jan. 18.-When
the sultan of Sulu made his recent
trip around the world he an
nounced he had fired few of his
wives and only retained a couple
because of the increased cost of
living. The real Sultan of Sulu-
land is known as the Moro PROV
ince of the Philippine islands and
it is divided into five districts, pre-
sided over by Uncle Sans fight
ers, who preserve order. Any time
a headhunter runs amuck and
tries to collect a few skulls, the
soldiers go out and camp on his
trail until they get him.
Each district has it's head man,
who rules the natives. The most
famous of these political bosses
is Datto Piang of the Cabbabatoi
district.
But of all the trouble the sol
diers have had in the islands, they

and collects a salary from it for
his work of preserving order. It's
cheaper to preserve order that way
than to go around killing people.

CENTRAL UNION NOW
AN ACCREDITED SCHOOL
This Official Announcement
Received From University
of California
Achievement Marks the End OF the First
Epoch in History OF Local Educa-
tionaI Neutrality-suspicious. for
New Building Soon Ready

Principal B. c. Nichols has been Off
fornia that the Central Union High
School has been fully accredited by it.
Trustees, faculty and students viii re-
ceive this good news with great pleasure
and qualification. 1t marks the end of
the first epoch of the school history in
which u great effort has been made to
put the school upon a secure foundation
where it's efficiency would be recognized
by those competent to judgel
This early accrediting has been Sc
cured in the face of quite formidable OBJ
stacles, chief of which has been the
proper housing and equiping of the
school.
The first year was spent IN the Pres
byterian Church. which was Eecently de-
molished by summer wind storm. At
the end of the first year the old two
room grammar school was hade avail
able by the building of nfw grammar
school building At comparatively great
expense this two-roomed building has
been remodeled so that it isl now meet
ing the needs of the high school fairly
well, but entirely inadeQuately. How
ever, this condition will soon be RENE
died and next September will see the
school house in one of the finest and
most complete, plants in Southern Cali
fornia.
The preliminary work of preparing to
build is going on satisfactorily. The ne
cessary aftidaVits of data have been made
by the district attorney and the county
superintendent and sent to the purchasers
of the bonds, the n. V. Halsey Company
of San Francisco. When their attorney
passes on them the bonds will be pre-
pared and the money turned over to the
county treasurer. BY that time the high
school trustees will have ready plans and
specifications and viii call for bids for
the construction of the plant.
Architect F. II. Harris of Redlands has
been preparing the last preliminary
sketches and estimates theroen will be
submitted to the board at its next meet
ing His sketches call for a group of
three buildings and an open air auditor
ium.
The trees planted last spring by the
students have been making a fine growth,
so that by the time the buildings are
ready they will have a pleasing setting.

the uncertainties sometimes accompany
ing efforts to secure the commodity
About three months ago Judge Hutton
of the superior court sitting in a water
case in El Centre, Imperial county, held
that it was not necessary for an entry
man to hold such stock, but if it could
be shown that he had valid contract
with a water company able to supply
water, that was sufficient.
Previous to that decision the district
court Of appeals in Los Angeles affirmed
the constitutionality of the provision re-
quiring the ownership of water stock
before final ownership passes from the
national government. This case has also
been appealed.
The government now has taken the
ground that until there is an authortat-
i've opinion by the supreme court of Cal
ifornia as to the status of those holding
water stock, all matters of final proof
in pending cases of short water stock
will be suspended.
The case that raised the question is
that of Mar E. Stratton, whose claim for
forty acres in the Imperial valley was re-
jected by Register Buren, and Receiver
Robinson on the ground that it could
not be shown that she was the owner of
any water stock.
1t was proven that she had contract
with Imperial Water Company No. 1 for
supplying her with sufficient water, but
the local officials declared that this was
not enough under the law. 1t was also
matter of proof that James Stratton
the original entryman on the land, had
forty shares of the stock in his name
but it did not appear that this interest
had reverted to Mary Stratton An ap-
peal was taken from the opinion of the
register and receiver.
The general land office holds that in
view of the conflicting opinions of the
California courts on the point at issue
the Stratton entry and all others SINH
larly situated shall be held up until a
decision is given by the State supreme
court covering the disputed points The
final proof in the Stratton land was made
November 22 1907, and rejected by Reg
lister Buren and Receiver Robinson on
February Z, 1910.
1t is alleged that the Imperial water
company has disposed of 100000 shares
of it's capital stock which, under the
previous ruling of the general land office
would entitle it to irrigate just that much
land, while it is understood that it en-
deavors to serve the owners of 135, 900
acres of land, leaving $4,000 acres that
cannot be irrigated under the present
stock issue.
Efforts are being made to increase the
sales of stock, but this is opposed by
number of the stockholders. who argue
that the value of their holdings will be
reduced if that is done.
The action of the general land office
means reopening of the whole question
relating to the value of water stock in
perfecting a desert land entry.

SHORT WATER STOCK

Conflicting opinions of California courts
have served to indefinitely suspend the
operation of rule grown to be an es-

desert lands. For many years under the
ruling of the authorities it was made a
condition precedent to the final approval
of a desert lana entry that the person
making such entry should not only have
complied with the provisions of the des
ert land law in all other respects. but
such entryman should also be able to
show that he or she were the owners
of one share of stock in water supply
