DIRECT ELECTION
IS SURE To WIN

Senator Borah is confident thai
he is going to win his fight for the
direct election of senators according
to Sumner Curtis, the staff CORES
pondent for the Chicago Record
Herald. In that interview Idaho's
senator, who has been the leader in
the fight for this piece of legislation,
expresses it as his opinion that the
joint conference of the senate and
the house which is to be submitted
to the people should leave it to the
states to decide in what manner they
desire to hold their senatorial elec-
tions.
81 am firmly of the opinion, said
Senator Borah, 'sthat the resolution
submitting an amendment to the
constitution providing for the cleo
ton of senator's by popular vote will
be adopted IN both branches OF con
gress and be submitted to the states
this winter. The resolution has
been adopted in both branches, but
is now in conference and the con-
frees have not been able to agree
upon report. But necessarily We
must have a report or we will have
action which will dispense with tn,
repert.
"The conferees have been unable
to agree as to what is known as the
Bristow amendment, which provides
for congress retaining control over
the manner of holding the election
OF senator's, while the resolution as
adopted by the house provides that
the states shall control the manner
of electing senator's
"Speaking for myself, would
much prefer to see the resolution
adopted leaving the manner of con.
ducting the election to the states.
The people of the atates should con.
troll in all matters in reference to the
manner of holding elections. am
certain that the states which control
the manner of holding popular cleo
tions with reference to state officer,
can be trusted to deal better ano
more adequately with this"

tests they were aware that the question
of permissive use to the waters of Mont

and It's predecessors was raised and de-
cided sgains5 the city in the recent case
OF the milling company against the
city. The main question in that cast
was whether or not the city, as
stockholder Of the Montpelier Irriga

injury of the milling company oI

On this very point the co;rmittee

Finally this eminent and unimpeach

ton:
Almost every sort of liquor legis.

Legislation to secure the ends OF
prohibition intensifies political dis

Among the states which have made

ed the question propounded above:
they have replied that prohibition was

But why was prohibition not good
for them?
Prohibition did not benefit the
states named, and cannot benefit any
state for certain moral and material
reasons. On the contrary, it did them
great and positive harm
Let us first barely glance at the
moral evils wrought by prohibition
evils which it must always produce,
as the tree beareth fruit according to
its kind.
Prohibition refuses to recognize
natural laws, and it has. therefore,
failed even where every condition and

Mr.. John Il. Hummon,
Omaha, Neb.
Dear Sir: have been asked to pass
my judgment upon the fertility of the
Crowder ranch, a part OF the we'll
known Cone ranch, In Antelope Valley.
! understand that water from Ante
lope creek is tributary to these lands,
and in my opinion there is nothing that
can be planted, belonging to the citrus
or deciduous classes but what will
thrive abundantly on these lands The
place is especially adapted to alfalfa
growing, and with water five or six
crops should be cut each year. We have
never had failure of crops In Tehama
county, due to the fact of a generous
rainfall, and an abundance OF water,
where used, in the running streams
Antelope creek, on the north and west
sides of the Crowder place, runs the
year round with an abundance of water
have been dealing In a large way IN
green and dried fruits in Tehama
county for many years. and some OF the
choicest fruits come from the Gone
ranch, a short distance from the
Crowder place, / think the latter, with
the water added, is a valuable body of
land. Respectfully yours, @

Dear Sir; Mr.. Lennon who introduced
me TO you today, informs me that you
contemplate becoming interested in the
Crowder ranch, part of the famous
Cone ranch.
] do not know what price is being
asked for this property, but myself and
others have 500 acres adjoining the
Crowder place, for which We paid over
$4,000 several years ago. Recently
lands In this vicinity have rapidly adj
vanced and II would take double our
purchase price TO secure this land from
us today.
The Crowder ranch will grow oranges,
lemons, ell deciduous fruits, berries,
vegetables, nuts and anything that can
be grown in California.
The finest Bartlett pear orchard In
the world grows within a mile of the
Crowder ranch, and alfalfa figures
largely in the products of the soil.
doubt II there is any land IN California
that will compare with the Crowder
lands at the price for which / was told
they could be purchased few months
ago We feel that we have a good coun-
try here, to which nature was most kind
and liberal, and this locality Is Just now
commencing to be developed. Yours

Dear Sir: / have been a resident of
Tehama county for over thirty years;
for a great many years was engaged in
farming in different parts of the coun-
try. The products are all citrus and
deciduous fruits, grain, stock, wool and
lumber; crops never fail in this zone;
from three to five crops of alfalfa can
be cut in one year, and instances are
known where eight crops have been cut.
am familiar with the Crowder place,
a part of the Cone ranch, and with it's
water privileges believe It to be vaIua-
BILE body of land. I am satisfied that
anything planted in its soil, that can be
grown elsewhere in California, will do
we'll there.
