BROOM CORN NEW PRODUCT

Riverside Press: "The great Impe-
rial valley has just commenced to ship
new product, broom corn" reported
II. p. Monahan, travelling freight and
passenger agent of the Southern Pa
cific, who has Just returned from a
weeks trip through the Imperial coun
try. There will be about twenty cars
of broom corn at Calexico, the first
crop of which sold for $3.50 a ton.
Cotton shipments from the valley are
also in progress. American long staple
is bringing 20 cents a pound and the
Egyptian long staple 80 cents a pound.
The short staple sells for much less,
IL cents a pound. Cattle shipments
are going on regularly all the time
from the valley, and much hay is going
out as well.
There are $50 people coming into
the valley every day, and a large num-
settlers.
"The canal is being extended from
HOltville to Imperial Junction, a dis
tance of so miles, and the develop
ment Of all the country between the
two towns will follow. There are al
ready 25 families at Imperial Junction
ready to file on land as soon as the
water is available.
Improvements are going forward all
over the valley. The most notable i'm
provement recently by any of the cities
in the valley is the paving of two miles
of streets at Imperial"

LINING UP EXHIBITS
FOR COUNTY FAIR

The Imperial county fair to be held
at El Centre November 5 to inclusive
promises to be the most successful ever
held in the valley. Numerous exhibits
ment. The ladies of the whole valley
have joined together in the work Of
boosting the fair and are meeting with
immense success in every direction.
Committees composed of the Ten Thou
sand Club have full charge of the edu
cational and art departments of the
fair, which alone is enough to insure
a large exhibit in these departments.
Mr.. Packard, who is in charge of the
agricultural and horticultural end, can
already guarantee the largest number
of exhibits ever shown, and the whole
of the arrangements are developing
with such rapidity that all wishing 10
secure space for exhibits are asked to
notify the secretary, Mr.. Armstead, at
Hotel Oregon without delay.
Already the following have taken
space at the exhibit hall:
E. c. Reams, Ell Centre, handmade
horseshoes.
Delta Implement Company, El Cen
tro, farm implements.
C. II. Smith, Ell Centre, cornice work.
G. H. Force, Ell Centre, corrugated
culvert
FL Centre Music Company, pianos.

TO SPEND FORTUNE IN
CURLING COLORADO RIVER


NEEDLES, Oct. lev. j. Bell, as
sistant chief engineer of the Santa Fe,
Is here from Chicago, looking over the
river protection work. The plan bein g
pursued is briefly as follows: Large
bundles of brush are matted together
and extended out in the river 20 or 80
feet, being handled from large barge
that is towed up the river ahead.
This is followed by fine stone TO
weight the brush into the water. Then
the brush and fine stone are covered
by heavy rock that is unloaded by a
steam derrick. The completed work
has very permanent appearance.
The extent of the anticipated work
ca better be realized when it is state ed
that more than $95,0OO has been ap-
propriated for this work this year.
In food stages of the river a large
amount of damage has been caused to
the town of Needles and railroad prop
erty by caving in of the banks, which
are high at this place

WHY AsSASsINATIONS.

" The attempt TO murder Theo-
dore Roosevelt raises the question why
men attempt the assassination of great
national leaders, and the answer is that
in every case these murders or at
tempted murders are the result of Bit
ter personal attacks on the character OF
the men assailed by their political OPP
ponents, these bitter assaults having
evil influence on the minds IF those
mentally diseased.
In the case of the murder of Lincoln
there seemed to be more excuse for
the dastardly assassin. as the five years
OF bitter war had aroused antagonisms
without a parallel in the history of
this nation. and the defeated party
naturally had in its numbers some
persons capable of such an act.
Garfield was struck down by an as
sassin whose mind was turned by the
bitterness of a factional fight in the
Republican party.
Mckinley was slain by one who's
mind was carried away by the long
fight against the president, who was
lampoOned by political enenmies as
few men have been.
The attempted murder of Roosevelt
follows in the natural course of events
after assaults on Roosevelt's character
which pictured him as the worst vii
lain of his generation.
And this is logical. If Roosevelt was
a man OF the character he has been
represented to be-a man seeking to
destroy the republic that he might
make himself king-it is reasonable 10
suppose that some patriot, following
noble examples in history, would seek
to remove the tyrant before his foul
purposes were accomplished. 90.
So eminent an authority as the presl-
dent of the United States had declared
that Roosevelt was seeking the over
throw of the constitution Of the nation
through self gIorifcation that he might
make of himself a dictator of the
American nation.
NJ man who is not insane would
believe such rubbish, but on the minds
of the insane such teachings could not
but have a bad influence and the
assassin's bullet came as a natural re-
suit of the personal abuse of Roosevelt
But now that the assassin has ap-
peared on the scene and the ex-prest-
dent is stricken down, people will come
TO their sense and realize how ign ob1e
has been the conspiracy to destroy the
man who, in the minds of the whole

LITTLE CORRECTION

Publication in another paper TO
the effect that the editor of the Press
at the meeting last evening referred
= the historical fact that the attempt
ed assassination of Theodore Roosevelt
was in line with that of 'RoberSpierre
during the French revolution" calls
for little correction. Robespierre was
not assassinated. What was said was
that if the charges made against
Roosevelt by Taft that the former was
seeking the overthrow of the constitu-
tion to set himself up as king and de-
pot of the American nation, then the
act of Schranck partakes of the he
roic character of Charlotte Corday in
the killing of Marat and if the would
be assassin is not to be taken as the
hero of the hour then Taft stands con-
victed of having borne false witness
against his predecessor. /

Los ANGELES MARKETS
vs.. SAN FRANCISCO S

Pacific Rural Press: There are two
radically different ways in paying the
dairyman for market milk in Califor-
mia, of which San Francisco and Los
Angeles furnish typical examples, to
the decided credit of the latter.
The San Francisco buyer pays by the
gallon. stipulating that the milk must
contain at least a certain percent of fat.
The same price; is paid at all times
of the year under contract, it being
provided to keep the supply fairly con-
stant, that there must always be at
least a certain amount sent in, and no
excess beyond a given proportion,
which is usually 10 per cent. The Los
Angeles buyer, like the butter maker,
pays by the fat content, varies his
prices with the season, and regulates
the milk supply by having the price
fit the season and by the stipulation
that the dairyman send in all that his
cows produce.

DON PULL OUT
The CRAY HAIRS
A Few Applications of a Simple
Remedy VIII Bring Back
the Natural Color.

f'Pull out one gray hair and a dozen
will take its place" is an old saying,
which is, to great extent, true, if no
steps are taken to stop the cause. When
gray hairs appear 1t is q sign that Ma
ture needs assistance. 1t is Natures
call for help. Gray hair, dull, hfeless
hair, or hair that is falling out, is not
necessarily a sign of advancing age, for
there are thousands of elderly people
with perfect heads of hair without a
single streak Of gray.
When gray hairs come, or when the
hair seems TO be lifeless or dead, some
good, reliable hair-restoring treatment
should be resorted to at once. Special
lists say that one Of the best prepare
tons to Use is the old-fashioned 'tsage
tea" which our grandparents used. Tie
best preparation of this kind is Wyeth' S
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, a prep
/ aration of domestic sage and sulphur,
I covered hair tonics and stimulants, the
whole mixture being carefully balanced
and tested by experts.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is clean and
wholesome and perfectly harmless. II
/ refreshes dry, parched hair, removes
/ daHdruff and gradually restores faded
or gray hair 10 its natural color.
( Don't delay another minute. Start
using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur at
/ once and see what a difference a few
days treatment viii make in your hair.
( This preparation is offered to the
( public st fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by FL druggists.
