Senator Lorimer. in announcing
that be would not resign, has done
this country a real service. and If
he clings TO that intention until the
question of his retention can be de-
cided by a vote in the Senate he will
have performed a really great SER
vice.
There are something over forty
Senators who will vote to keep Lor-
inner in his tainted seat. IL Lor-
inner had resigned, thew would have
escaped a record. Now that he has
announced his intention to stick,
they will be brought fairly to the
scratch and forced. TO go squarely
on record.
And after they vote for Lorimer,
they will be retired Just as soon as
the people can get at them. This
will be a mighty good thing for the
country-for which Mr.. Lorimer is
entitled to credit.

STORM CONDITIONS PREVAIL
ON COAST AND IN VALLEY

The climatic conditions Of the last
two or three days have been such as
to mystify the natives Of the valley,
who have not been able to figure out
the threat of storm. This was ex-
planned today by the news from the
coast of rain in that section.
Appearances were that the threaten
ing weather in the valley came from
Arizona, where it was thought SUNNI er
storms, long delayed, must prevail, but
the change of the winds from the
southeast to the west last night indi-
Gated that the menace must come from
the coast, and that theory is now
shown to be correct.
Following the wind Of last night
the sky this afternoon is hidden by
clouds which may at any time result
in rain here.
This is the second storm which has
visited the coast thus far this year.
though the first one failed to reach
Southern California, and the earliness
of the rains makes this peculiar
season.
This valley is subject to rain that
| comes in on two separate courses, the
summer course leading northward
through Mexico into Arizona, at rar.
intervals getting into this valley
These storms are borne northward on
the Peruvian current. The winter rains
| rains come upon the coast on the
Japanese currents, and occasionally
the valley shares lightly in these
storms.
Taken together these two sources
do not give the valley enough rain tc
be of consequence, but from either
source there is a possibility OF rain
and that possibility is now apparent

Los ANGELES IMPORTING
CHEAP MINNESOTA BARLEY

There has been considerable specu-
lation why the barley crop has not re-
sponded better to the upward tendency
of things this year and this now is
explained by the statement that con-
siderable barley is being imported by
Los Angeles from Minnesota, this grain
being delivered in that city, free on
board, for $1.30, or considerably less
than has been paid for valley grain.
1t is stated that the Minnesota grain
is not up to the valley standard, but
it's cheapness commends it to the con-
sumers on the coast.
While the prevailing prices are not
SO low by considerable as barley has
been sold for, 1t is not the satisfac-
tory condition that was looked for at
the opening of the season. and the
farmers are backward about signing
mp for the crop of next year.
The comparatively low price of bar
ley may have the effect of reducing the
acreage grown, and a consid derabl- por
tiun of the barley land may be put
into cotton next season. the cotton
men have done unusually well this
year. especially the growers OF lons
staple cotton.
