Pay Twenty-Five Dollars
And Be A Candidate

Under the new election laws, as
amended by the last Legislature, any
person can become a candidate for any
Office before the primaries and have his
name placed upon the primary ballot by
paying $25 to have his petition filed
with the County Clerk.
The Goldfeld Tribune says this may
result in a primary ballot of gigantic
size. but according to authorities. who
have much experience in such matters,
it is expected to simplify the form Of the

WITH ELECTRICITY
Expert Is Now Engaged in Intro
ducing the System in South
ern California

.~Irrieating" with electricity. an In
~uoyation in agricultural methods IN
which the United States Department oil
Agriculture is greatly interested, Is to
have a thorough test on q model farm
near Los Angeles under direction oil
Warren J.. Arson. originator oil the
upi1ue system to do away with water,
reservoirs and bitches.
Arson, whose work is closely watched
by the Government, has taken charge
Of the model farm and is already in'
stalling his devices for conserving the
moisture Of the soil with his electrical
a~pparatus. Under his direction tests
will be made on three acres, q OF
which will be dry farmed, q second i-
riRated and the third cultivated by
electricity. The same soils are common
to each Of the three acres, the same
crops will be raised from the same seeds.
In addition fruit trees are to be propa-
gated by the new system.
Anson's device consists OF a series oil
six.inch cement tiles placed just below
the blowing point, IA feet apart aud
running from one side Of the acre to the
other. These tiles have elbows that
project some feet above the surface, and
from these points radiate electric wires
such as those of a wireless telegraph
pole. The wires run parallel through
the cement pipes. equidistant around
the inner surface of the cylinder.
Static electricity. or that with which
the air is charged, furnishes the only
'.power." The static current attracts
the moisture from the air at night. and
this is condensed down the elbows OF the
thing and into the pipes below the sur
face. The same current then dispenses
this moisture through the porous walls
of the piping.
The electric current Dot only holds
this moisture at a reasonable depth,
so that it is projected to the roots OF
growing plants or trees, but It at
tracts the subsoil moisture toward the
surface. giving direct use for what has
hitherto been purely waste moisture.
Regular systems of irrigating with
water have caused great waste" de-
clared Arson. First, there is the cost
of the water right, then the cost of the
water, then the buil1ing of the bitches
(which in itself means a direct loss OF
so much land), the cost Of time and
labor and the constant repairs. Under
the ditch system it is the usual case
that either too much water is used or
not enough.
"By the static system of electricity
there is only one cost. that Of i~nstalla.
ton. After that the system takes care
Of itself and there is positively no need
of doing more than the regular amount
Of surface cultivation to keep the soil
loosened and permit the distribution OF
the moisture drawn from both the air
and the subsoil."
The system has been thoroughly test
ed at a point near FL Paso. where for
two years the Government carefully
watched the results. A report shows
that by means of the electric irrigation
earlier crops were developed and larger
yields produced. Arson will have his
device installed in a short time and de-
clares he will show wonderful results in
the development of frui: trees.

The American cavalry along the

creased.
This information is contained In teie-

manding the department of Texas. The
troops Of the Thirteenth Cavalry st
Fort Riley, Kan, and the Ninth Caval-
ry at Fort d. A. Russell, Wyo., are
being held in readiness.
Troop trains have been held at the
latter post for some months.
These re-enforcements are deemed ne
cessary, owing to the edict of the rebels
stating that all Americans In Mexico
will be killed after September L. The
only alternative offered by Gen. Emilio
p. Campo, rebel chief, is the resigna-
ton of Madero as president
