To Consider Senator O'Gorman

New York. June 1.-The names of United States Senator James OGornan of New York and probably those of one or two others will be considered for the office of temporary chairman of the democratic national convention by the committee of arrangements at Baltimore on June IS or 20.
 Senator O'Gorman's name was present. ed at previous meeting, but 1t was thought advisable not to make any choice until all the delegates to the convention had been chosen by the states. It was the feeling of the democratic leaders on the national committee that a temporary chairman should not prepare his keynote speech until the republican national con vention was we'll along with it's work and it could be seen what the democratic op- position should do on the question of is sues and candidates.
 The work of the democratic national committee at Baltimore is not expected to take long. as only a few contests have been filed with Secretary Woodson.

PREPARE FOR LAND BUYERS
TO COME IN MIDSUMMER

The opinion is gaining ground that
, Imperial valley in midsummer this
year will meet many land buyers from
the San Joaquin and coast, forced to
look for feed for thousands of head of
livestock
Early this year there was rush Of
people to the valley, and more than a
million dollars worth of land was sold
within sixty days. Then came the de-
layed rains on the coast and the
necessity that confronted the livestock
owners there became less manifest
But now it is certain that the San
Joaquin valley and most OF the coastal
plain of the southern third of the
state will within sixty days again be-
gin to feel pressure of feed shortage.
Definite reports come to the Press
that grain in that whole great area
will not exceed a half crop, while in
large districts, where there ought to
be grain, there is nothing but poppies
and other flowers.
Livestock owners in those sections
very soon must again prepare for a
feed shortage, and scores of them will
do as they did in mid-winter-buy
land or feed in Imperial valley and
ship their stock here.
Farmers and real estate men in the
valley are alike planning for this
emergency. The farmers are planning
to grow very unusual acreage of
corn, knowing that every ton will be
in big demand while real estate men
are listing as much property as pos.
sible, preparatory to the coming of
buyers, for whom they look with con-
fidence.
Colonization of the valley in mid
summer will be no novelty. There
probably has been no other period in
which SO many people came to the
valley to settle as during the summer
of 1902, and all conditions apparently
indicate that the summer of 1912 will
be of the same nature.
The selling of so much land this
winter released very large part of
what was on the market, and among
the present farmers there is a COM
paratively few who wish to sell, and
most of them only will part with d
portion of their holdings to make i'm
prov ements to the remainder.
