CADRON MAY NOT
HAVE A CONSTABLE

The resignation of w. H. James
from the Office of constable of Cadron
township may leave the township
without an officer until after the next
general election. Governor Donaghey,
to whom petition to fill the vacancy
was sent, has declared that governor
has no authority to appoint a consta-
bic and the vacancy is one with which
the governors office, under the law,
has nothing to do. He states that he
has declined several hundred similar
from different portions of
the state, and could not afford to make
an exception in favor of the township
in which he happens to have his citi-
zenship.
According to the governor, it is the
duty of the county judge to call spe-
cial election to fill the vacancy. This,
however, Judge J. A. Lea is reluctant
to do. He said today that a special
election would entail considerable
expense on the county, and there is
really no need for such an officer, as
the sheriff and two or three deputies,
as well as the city peace officers, are
fully able to take care of the situa-
ton. Judge Lea has not yet definitely
decided not to call an election, howev-
er, bat said he would announce his

The AntiuuitX of Man.

1t has been known during a long
time that in western Europe man ex-
listed during the glacial epoch. We
now know that the great ice age con-
sisted of different glacial times sepa-
rated by interglacial times. In glacial
times the snow line dropped 5000 or
1000 feet below its present level in
the Alps, whereas in interglacial times
1t lay about 1000 feet higher than at
present. Thus the temperature seems
to have been higher in the interglacial
periods than it is now.
There is abundant evidence, in the
opinion of Penck, that man existed du-
ring the beginning of the last glacial
epoch There is some reason for
thinking that at least 10000 years
have elapsed since the last glaciatior
and that the man whose jawbone was
found in 1909 near Heidelberg lived
100000 years ago.-Scientifc Ameri

WAS STILL MAUD LILLIAN
New Head and Body for child's Be-
loved Doll, But balr Was

With tears in her eyes and large
and very much damaged doll in her
arms, a very little girl appeared at

pital the other day and displayed her
broken treasure The dolls face was
broken, one arm was completely gone
and one foot was minus all the toes.
The very little girl conf1ded to me
clerk that she wanted dolly made
well again. I'm afraid 1t won't be
worth while to fix It," said the clerk,
regarding the new patient obviously.
you see there would have to be a
new head and new arm and new leg.
| really think 1t would be better for
you to get new doll"
The tears overran the eyes of the
very little girl at this suggestion.
But / want her to look like this
doll" she protested. Il love Maud
Lillian too much to have a new doll
in her place. You can get new
head for her and new body, too If
you like, but | want her to have the
same hair that she has now, SO she'll
look like her old self"
The toy shop people are used to
carrying out the individual ideas of
the little mothers of the dolls, and so
no objection was made to preserving
Maud Lillians identity by means of
her somewhat crumpled golden locks.
A beautiful new doll of the proper
size was chosen, her glossy new wig
removed and the broken dolls wig
substituted. Newly bewigged in this
fashion and robed in the garments of
the discarded doll Maud Lillian bore
a resemblance to herself that was
startling, considering the rather ex-
tensive anatomical alterations that
had been made In her. The very lit
tie girl seized her triumphantly and
bore her away, but the onlooker who
had witnessed the operation could
not but wonder in what Maud Lii

FIND NEW METHODS FOR
CLEARING AND IRRlGATiNG
Government Experimental Station
Gives Out Result of Labors.

New methods of clearing off rough
farm lands, making undeyeloped areas
In California practical for cultivation
under irrigation and detailed data on
irrigation in this State, are announced
by the Agricultural Experiment Sta.
tion OF the United States Government,
conducted In connection with the Col
lege of Agriculture at the State Uni
versity. The data was secured by
f. w. Roeding. irrigation manager for
the station, under the direction of Pro
fessor Samuel Fortier, chief OF irriga-
ton in the United States Department
of Agriculture.
Roeding states that the investiga-
tions just completed show 3,S76,000
acres Of irrigable lands in the State
under existing systems, of which g.
10000 acres are being actually irri-
gated at the present time, including
areas of native meadow and wild grass
lands, and over 100000 acres in the re-
claimed swamp lands at the mouths
of the Sacramento and San Joaquin
rivers.
Rapid development of population in
the agricultural districts, and increase
In the States wealth are now pre-
dicted following the recent passage of
laws controlling and regulating stream
nIt
cation which has previously tended
to retard advance of capital in irri-
cation development.
The area of irrigable lands in the
State, according to the Government
engineers, is as follows: San Joaquin
valley, 2,150,000 acres; Sacramento
valley, 100000; coast country, incud-
ing the Salinas river, the Pajaro river,
lower Santa Clara valley and San
Francisco bay region, $4,000 acres;
Southern California, including Impe-
rial, Riverside, San Diego, San Ber-
nardino, Orange, Los Angeles, Ven
tura. Santa Barbara and San Luis
Obispo counties, $4,000 acres.
Latest developments in methods of
clearing foothills, brush and trees, in
preparing land for irrigation at a cost
averaging $50 an acre, have been
worked out by using a cable and hook
with team attached when the ground
is wet. This method, according to the
report, has been found most success
full. Brush is removed by dragging
heavy railroad rails over the area to
be cleared, attaching a team to each
end of the rail.
The report is the first of a series to
be published by the Government irri-
cation men, subsequent numbers to be
published for the advantage of pros
pective ranchers interested in an
nouncements of the most recent find
ings as to methods OF preparing land
which has not been previously adapted
to soil cultivation.
