and grounds which have heretofore
been exclusively reserved to the men,

minent and there is as yet nothing
stable to take it's place. The revolu
tionists thus far have been incapable
of affecting any cohesion among
themselves and unless DR.. Sun Vat
Sen proves to be the man of the hour,
they will be found to be far less eff
ficient If called on to take up the re-
sponsibility of national government.
The cost of the struggle thus far
has been far greater than is easily re-
allied Apart from the losses Of the
campaign and the battlefelds, it has
plunged a majority of the provinces in
to poverty and famine; it has stopped
all commerce and trade; crippled ag-
ricuiture and industry and diverted
practically every penny of tax revenue
from the purposes of peace.
The moral effect on the people at
large is another matter. Reports from
the interior indicate that conditions
everywhere are growing worse. Bri-
gandage is almost the only profitable
profession left to a people hitherto
peaceable and orderly. Millions are
starving within radius of few hun
dred miles of Shanghai.
Accounts of robberies and violence
and even the killing Of Europeans
have ceased to be exceptional in the
absence of law and order Close OBJ
servers are more and more uneasy
regarding the prospects for foreigners
in the immediate future.
Facts are hard to get at. Both sides
are financially close to bankruptcy
and realize that their first need is to
establish credit In the hope of Sc
curing assistance abroad they are un-
sparing in the use of legitimate and
.illegitimate means to influence opin-
ion. News is censored and colored to
suit the purpose of those in control.

western Washington in Quashing as in
valid the indictments against Charles
+. Munday and Archie w. Shiels on
charges of conspiring to defraud the
government out OF Alaska coal lands
valued at $10,00O,00O The way is now
opened for their trial on this charge.
Justice Lurton rendered the unani-
NOUS opinion of the court. He con-
sidered the argument of the defend
ants that the act of congress in 1904
superseded the general laws, so far as
the unsurveyed lands Of Alaska were
concerned.
4 There occurs to US no reason for
assuming that congress intended to
abandon the policy of keeping open
the right of every citizen to enter
one tract and no more of the un-
surveyed coal lands of Alaska that
would not lead also to the abandon
n1ent OF the policy as respects coal
lands which had been surveyed" said
the court. "An intention to depart
from uniform policy SO long en-.
forced in regard to the coal land
shcu.a not be imputed to congress un-
less the act Of 1904 admits of no other
construction.
Justice Lurton them proceeded ia
show that the act of 1904 did admit
Of another construction, namely, to
extend the general coal land entry
laws which were then applicable only
to surveyed lands, to unsurveyed
lands
The decision not only means that
Munday and Shiels must proceed with
their trial for alleged conspiracy to
defraud the government out of Alaska
coal lands, valued at $10,000,0O0, but
that similar indictments at Spokane
Tacoma, Detroit and Chicago will be
pressed
The substance of the decision was
that it is just as much fraud in
Alaska as in the United States proper
to- hire dummy entrymen to take VI
coal lands.
Munday and Shiels were indicted
along with others on charges of con-
spiracy to defraud the government by
seeking to procure for the Alaska
Qey elopment. Company and the Pa
ciftc, Coal and OIL Company some 81,
thousand acres of Alaska coal land.
Justice Lurton said congress did moi
intend to except unsurveyed land from
the restrictions placed on surveyed
land

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The su-

opened the way for the federal gov
ernment to prosecute coal land frauds
in Alaska by holding that the general
coal land laws of the United States,
which forbade persons or associations
making more than one entry, apply to
the unsurveyed coal regions of Alaska.
The immediate result of this hold

VALLEY STOCK FEED SUPPLY
RECEIVES MUCH CONSIDERATION.

Everywhere in the valley much at
tention is being given to the question
of live stock feed, both hay and grain,
and all sorts of predictions of high
prices to come are being heard. In
spite of this fact, however, consider
able baled hay is being shipped from
the valley.
The report of serious hay shortage
along the coast, published in the Press
some days since, gave the farmers the
first detailed information regarding
the situation, and it apparently made
it's impression elsewhere, for a num-
Der of buyers of hay have been in the
valley, and they have secured consid-
cradle.
Following the reported shortage
came the early cold snap. with the eff
feet of preventing the rapid growth of
barley and practically ending the
growth of alfalfa for the time being.
If it was not for the splendid large
crop of Egyptian corn, there would be
a serious shortage of feed in the val
ley. AS it is, if there should be sea-
sonable growing weather for the next
sixty days, the feed supply will prob
ably prove sufficient to carry the stock
through, but it is generally believed
the valley has no hay to spare for
shipment.
The situation is such that those hav-
ing hay and corn to sell are finding
Imperial Valley press., 1911-12-06

ers of live stock are kept hustling to
get feed. Fortunately, the price Of
butter fat is we'll up, and even those
dairymen who are short of feed are
able to meet the higher prices for hay
and grain.
The situation is encouraging to
those who will have either alfalfa OF
barley hay to sell in the spring be-
fore the new crop of other sections be-
comes available, for there is no doubt
this valley will be in a way to sell
much at a high price.
This will probably lead also to
heavy planting of corn in the spring.
Some Pasture Now
While, as stated above. it win take
the next sixty days, probably, to bring
pasturage to it's full extent, it is noted
that in some fields in the valley bar
ley is already so far advanced that it
is being pastured and from this time
on there will be steady increase in
the acreage available for pasturing.
The news that came today of the
prevalence of big storm on the
coast will bring joy to many coast
farmers, for the rain was badly needed
to bring feed forward, though from the
viewpoint of this valley it is of no di-
rect benefit. Should the storm prove
to be extensive enough, it will prob
Tably prevent what might otherwise
have been very serious shortage of
feed on the coast

SHANGHAI, Dec. 6.-Each day
nsings keener apprehension that China
is drifting into political chaos.
The revolutionary juntas here are
now marking time, awaiting the ar
rival Of DIR. Sun Yet Sen, who is ex-
pected at any moment. 1t is hoped
that he may prove to be the leader
whom everyone is seeking. If he can
line up the various revolutionary
chiefs and unity the movement, So
Mtion of China's troubles may be
hoped for.
There are dissensions everywhere
among the rebels, especially at the
WI Chang and Nanking headquarters.'
The fall of Han Yang last week
proves to have been due entirely to
Wholesale desertions of rebel troops
enrolled in Human province. Some say
that the soldiers were bought by Yuan
Shi Kai, but most persons attribute
the desertions to the old-time jeal-
ousies between the people of Human
and Tupeh. The defections would
probably have been prevented had a
strong leader been in command.
The rebel general, Huan Sing, who
was at WI Chang as second in COM
mand to Gen. Ii Yuen Heng, left Hang
Yang short time before the imperial
lists regained that city. He arrived in
Shanghai this week and Immediately
proclaimed himself generalissimo of
the revolutionary forces and assigned
/, to Lii subsidiary place.
= Huan asserts that he has been given
the right to name a temporary pre-
nier to act pending the election of
a president He is now making plans,
he says, for an overland advance on
Peking through Shan Tung province.

ial government Is regarded here as inn

OF OTHER DYNAMITE

LOS ANGELES, Dec. Cit is pos
sible that other incidents besides the
dynamite explosions IN Los Angeles
may be Investigated by the federal
grand jury now in session, which was
scheduled to take up the alleged dyna-
mite conspiracy today
It will be remembered that dyna-
mite was found under a. Southern Pa
cifc bridge in Santa Barbara county
just after President Taft's train had
passed over it last October, and it is
said that dynamite has been found un-
der various bridges in California at
other. times. ~
A hunt for persons who might have
planted the dynamite under the Santa
Barbara bridge was made. but nothing
ever came of it; SO far as the public
was informed. The final theory given
to the public was that the explosive
was left there by workmen on the
railroad. II 4st2r,
A. I. Mccormick, United States dis
trict attorney, is in Washington con-
ferring with the federal authorities
there. but the dynamite investigation
by the federal grand jury here is
scheduled to proceed without him.

INFANTA EULALIA CALLS
KING AlF0NS0'S BLUFF

MADRID, Dec. ,6.-King Alfonso has
sent the text Of the kilograms ex-
changed between himself and Infanta
Eulalia to the Spanish amabassador at
Paris, where the infanta is now resid-
ing.
In his telegram the king expressed
astonishment at the news that the in
fanta had published book and order
ed her to suspend further publication
until she had received his majesty's
permission. 'a.
In her reply, the infanta declared
her intention of Withdrawing from
court life. and acting as she deemed
fit.
In forwarding these kilograms to the
ambassador. the king sent q special
message to him, saying:
Kindly call upon the infanta and
impress upon her that am not dis
posed to tolerate her vagaries and that
her answer has no connection with
what ! said to her.
The terms In which Infanta Eulalia
narrated the affair to interviewers had
p0rduced profound and disagreeable
sensation in palace circles. It is ru-
(! mOred will act with all energy in the
matter. The infanta's attitude, it is
pointed out, calls for action which is
all the more depl0rable in view Of the
difficult negotiations now going on be-
tween France and Spain over the Mo-
roccan question.
The displeasure Of King Alfonso, 1t
is stated, is greatly increased by the
fact that while his dispatch to Eulalia
was sent in plain language. in order
to prevent misinterpretation, it was
expanded by the princess when she
gave 1t to the French press, 30 as to,
place the king in the worst light pos
sible.
Apparently, she did the same thing
with her own dispatch to King Alfonso.
for the text of the message as receiv-,
ed In Madrid was:
II am astonished that you should
judge the book without reading. In
answer to your order. take my leave
of you."
As soon as it was learned that the
messages In amended form had been
published in Paris. the king communi-
Gated the dispatches to the press. II
is not known exactly how King Az
fonso will mark his displeasure. but II
is probable he will Immediately cut on
the infanta from her civil list allow
ance.
AS she Is a princess OF Spain in hsr
own name, It would require special
act Of the cortes to deprive her Of her
title. .

LOS ANGELES, Dec. Cit seldom
falls to the lot of any city to become
so wrought up over a municipal elec-
tion as has been Los Angeles during
the last few days, and seldom is the
alignment of voters so changed as
was the case here.
Had the election of yesterday been
held a week earlier, before the con-
fession by the McNamara brathers,
the result might have been entirely
different, for at the last moment Job
Hartman, Socialist candidate for may
or, and his associates were abandoned
by large. portion of their supporters,
and George Alexander was reelected
by an overwhelming majority.
OF. course NO one looks upon the
moves here of the last few days as
the Inauguration of the millennium, but
there is hopefulness that these events
are the beginning of q period of bet
ter feeling between employers and
employees. A definite movement to
bring about this result is only await
ing the dying out of the election ex-
citement, and in the city at large,
among all classes, there are many who
believe they see the possibility of great
good In this movement, while of course
there are not lacking extremists on
both sides who still wish to maintain
the. bitter class warfare. ~i'
Today there is feeling Of great re-
lief that the battle of ballots is ended,
the tense emotions OF the recent past
being greatly relaxed, with the belief
that from this day on there will be q
great deal easier sailing for the mu-
nicipality.
