WATER MEASUREMENTS

Editor Press-Dear Sir: In the news
paper reports of the speech of Colonei
Holabird before the irrigation congress
held last week in Utah appears the
following: 1T will interest managers
when l tell them the income by use
of meters has increased about $4,000
per year" Not only managers but the
irrigators of Imperial valley should pc
interested in this statement. There
has been considerable complaint to this
Office about our measurements at the
present time, as compared with those
of past years. Mr.. Holabird's figures
indicate that the irrigators of this val
ley are getting some 10000 second feet
or 100000 inches of water less for the
same amount of money than formerly
want to be distinctly understood as
not condemning the policy of the re-
ceiver in measuring the water deliv-
cred as near exactly" as possible That
is exactly what every man is entitlcd 4
to. No irrigator is entitled to have
delivered to him 100 inches under an
order for 10 unless he is charged for
and pays for the 100.
I desire to call to the attention of
water users of No. 1 the fact mad e
apparent by the above quotation, that
one of the main reasons why No.
doesn't measure out the water with as
lavish a hand as some of our prede-
cessors did is because it isn't meas
ured to us as formerly. Did the di-
rectors make kick about the change
of measurements? That we did, and
kept it up for about twelve months,
and then had to appear in court be-
fore Judge Bordwell about the matter.
But when the other fellow is right and
persistent he generally wins.
F.. p WILLARD.

SHORTAGE OFF CARS
FOR HAULING UUMuEu

Los ANGELES, Oct. 5-Prosperity
throughout the country, as evidenced
by the shortage in railroad cars, has
during the last two weeks.
Officials of the Southern Pacific yes
terday announced that they were un-
able to secure enough fiat cars to
move the lumber that is being shippea
to Los Angeles Harbor on steamers
from the north.
San Pedro is one of the greatest lum-
month an average of over $4,000, 900
feet enters the port. This lumber is
shipped to Los Angeles and the interior
On railroad cars of every description.
Last August was a banner month for
lumber imports, over 71,00O,0 feet
being received. In September the i'm
ports were not as heavy. One reason
advanced was that scarcity of steam
crs prevented more shipments.
In commenting upon the car shortag G
one Southern Pacific official said 1--WE
have been trying to secure enough car;
for lumber for the last two weeks Our
great need is fiat cars, but owing to
the marketing of sugar beets we have
been unable to supply the demand for
cars in San Pedro. After the beets are
moved we expect to be able to supply
the normal demand. San Pedro uses
about 100 cars daily for the shipment
of freight to this city and interior.
OF this amount about rs per cent of
the cars are used for lumber"

PAPER CLOTHING

Chattanooga News: London, which
recently announced the discovery OF
economical ways of making artificial
rubber, is the scene of experiments in
paper clothing. Paper garments have
been made and worn as curiosities, but
they We're pasted together and tn ey
did not commend themselves to tn
climate where rains fall from time -
time. Paper napkins. towels and hand
kerchiefs have been offered to the pub
lie, but their introduction has been
slow. They do not look enough like
the articles they are designed to re-
place. Paper garments will not d,s-
place cotton and linen until they re.
semble them in texture. That is the
promising feature of the London ex-
periments. 1t is said that a process
has been perfected whereby paper can
be produced that will deceive the eye
and pass for cotton or linen fabrics and
will hold buttons, seams and button
holes. The inventors hope to be able
to produce garments that will cost nj
more t,an the price for launderin z
However, cotton planters are unlik ely
to take alarm for the present.

LYING HEADLINES

Riverside Press: The Los Angeles
Times does not hesitate to distort Or
manufacture news to suit its political
purposes. If it fails any day to re-
ceive a news report that can be twisted
into some shape to stir up prejudice
against Roosevelt and Johnson, Il
makes up something out of whole cloth
and plays it up under the head of
special to the Times"
Not satisfied, moreover, with this par
ticular form of falsehood, the Times
is working overtime in misrepresent- =
ing the facts in the headings it puts
over its dispatches. Here is strik-
ing illustration in yesterdays issue.
The headlines were as follos:
Roosevelt Slush Fund Totals Mil.
lions, According TO Finn
After wading through several col
umns of testimony and alleged testi-
mony as reported in the Times, the
only specific item on which these head
lines are based is as follows the
words are quoted exactly from the
Times report:
The investigation brought out that
Mr.. Finn has contributed s144, 4,3OS 29
to the Roosevelt, the Republican and
the Progressive campaigns in Pennsyl-
vania
Mr.. Finn apportioned but S99, 1884 s
as Roosevelt expenditures in the state
ment he gave the committee of the
sums he has contributed this year
Other items given for the election OF
delegates brought the total of his
Roosevelt contributions to 100000; and
he admitted that he had contribute ed
80 per cent of the money spent to
carry the state for Roosevelt in the
primaries"
The discrepancy between S144, 900 and
millions" is certainly considerable
and according to the evidence pre-
sented in its own columns, the Times
is convicted of lying in a most bare
faced manner in making the charges
that millions were raised and sx
pended.
Here is another illustration from the
Times this morning. The headline,
are:
"Life's Seamy Side-Three to Five
Millions to Boost Third Termer"
Reading the report of the committee
proceedings through, as given in the
Times report under the headlines, one
finds that the astonishing charge made
i'll the head is based on this slender
foundation:
Senator Joseph NJ. Dixon, in a
ST ormy session with the committee
testified he had spent S96, 900 in the
Progressive primary campaign which
was not included in the figures pre-
scented yesterday by Progressive Treas
urer E. H. Hooker.
Dixon said he personally had spent
only $4,000 for Roosevelt, which with
Bill Flinns S144,OOO would make
about $4,000"
There is some vague talk about mil
lions injected into the report, evidently
made up in the Times office, but so
far a. the actual record stands as Civ
en- by the Times itself, the only foun-
dation for the charge that millions
were spent is evidence suggesting en
expenditure Of $4,000. This discrep-
ancy is certainly a wide one.
A very safe rule to follow in regard
to all news relating to Roosevelt and
Johnson is to conclude when you see
it in the Times, it isn't so.

HOI.TNU.IE AFFAIR

The Press has not been designated
by any person to attempt to bring
about a restoration of the spirit of
harmony in Holtville, but it comedies
that ii feels much concern over the
situation there, and would be highly
pleased if in any degree it could be
OF assistance in the restoration of
peace.
feud of the nature of the one
which exists in that town now has no
end, for ii can lead nowhere. 1t is
injurious to every citizen. 1t does not
help the cause of temperance, but i,
is destructive of all the better trait,
of human nature and of all the insti-
tutions which the people have built up.
1t is true that when a conflict of this
character arsises there are good citi-
zens on both sides. and every coor
headed man must admit the desira bill
ity of the people getting together.
1t is seldom in such a case that
peacemaker receives thanks from
either side, and yet the need for the
cessation of hostilities is so great that
the Press has voluntarily taken up
the matter with representative citi-
zens on both sides of the controversy.
and has met with that degree OF sue
cess that both sides are consid ering the
question of dropping all the conflicts.
wiping the slate clean and starting in
anew the old basis of harmony.
There are cool heads in Holtville
who are working to this same end,
and it is to be hoped that announce
ment can soon be made of progress
along this line.
There is too much constructive work
in Sight to be done for any commun-
ity, even for a brief time, to give
itself over to destructiveness, and that
is all that can result from the feud

DEACTION SETS IN

Probably not since the days of
Warren Hastings has so formidable
an array of forces sought the destruc-
tion Of an individual as that which
has assailed Theodore Roosevelt.
Not only have the trusts and the
trust-owned newspapers sought his de-
struction by characteristic procedure,
but the machinery of the United States
senate has been set to work through
its probing committee to cast asper-
sions his character, while other
candidates whose parties are even
more vulnerable are not touched.
But the reaction has set in. Posi-
tive proof that the Archbold letters,
presented by Hearst newspapers, were
forged documents, is now furnished ~
Golfers. and the American people gre
very apt to add Immensely 10 inc
Roosevelt vote next November simply
because they do not believe in resort
to forgery to destroy a mans good
name.
Then, too, people are asking why IL
is that Roosevelt, alone among tne
money power, as though it was
money power, as thought it was
case of life and death with them that
Roosevelt should be defeated, and
many a man is saying that the candi-
date who has drawn the opposition Of
all the predatory forces is good enough
for them to support
During the last few days the report
has been passed along the line
throughout the country that the Taft
people must support Wilson. There is
no question that the trusts would pre-
fer Taft to Wilson, but it is equally
plain that they immensely prefer Will
son to Roosevelt, and it is admittedly
true that if Wilson is elected it will be
because he has drawn the support of
the great corporations.
If Roosevelt is elected, as everybody
knows, it will be because the American
people have arisen in their might and
put him forward to destroy great evils
If he is not elected it will be because
the people of the country have allied
themselves with the great powers whH
believe they can prevent reform under
Wilson, but concede that they cannot
prevent it under Roosevelt.

THE CHILDREN.s HOUR

Between the dark and the daylignt,
when the night is beginning to
lower,
that is known as the children's s
hear in the chamber above me the
patter of little feet,
The sound of a door that is opened
and voices soft and sweet.
descending the broad hall stan,
Grave Alice, and laughing Allegra, and
Edith with golden hair.
A whisper and then a silence; yet
know by their merry eyes
They are plotting and planning to-
gether to take me by surprise.
A sudden rush from the stairway, a
sudden raid from the hall!
BY three doors left unguarded they en-
ter my castle wall!
They climb up into my turret o'eI
the arms and back of my chair;
If l try to escape they surround me
they seem to be everywhere.
They almost devour me with kisses
their arms about me entwine,
Till 1 think of the bishop of Bingen
in his mouse tower on the Rhine
Do you think, oh, blue eyed banditti
because you have scaled the wall
Such an old mustache as l am is no'
match for you all?
I have you fast in my fortress and will
not let you depart,
But put you down into the dungeon N
the round tower of my heart,
And there will I keep you forever, yes
forever and day,
Till the walls shall crumble to ruiz
and molder in dust away.
Henry w. Longfellow.

ANTIQUITY OF TENNIS

London Times: BY many people ten
mis- is thought to be an essentially mod
ern game, but in reality it is probably
one of the most ancient ball games
and was a sport long before cricket
was dreamed of. Though undoubtedly
existing during the Arthurian period
tennis, or, as it was called, "tenez," is
mentioned in the Arthurian legends
written in 1900 and the knights of the
Round Table were pictured as en-
gagged in the sport when the weather
was too hot for Journeys or jousts.
From simple beginning, anu
through many centuries, the intricacy
or the games rules have been devel-
oped. Its present name seems to be
a corruption for the term "enez," which
the server used in the same way
ready" is called now. In the begin
ming the name was jeu de paume,
taken from the fact that the ball was
struck with the hands instead of with
a racket. Later the hand was incased
in a glove, and still later the glove
was covered with strings, runnin e
crisscross, from which condition there
was but a short step to the short
handled racket.
In feudal times the courts We're
merely open grass plots, oftentimes the
lawn of a castle, and not till late IN
the seventeenth century was the court
inclosed, when walls were built as
backstops Now most of the modern
English and French courts are entirely
inclosed with four walls and a roof.
In view of the fact that France has
taken tennis up seriously during the
past decade, and won considerable sue
cess in the field, it is interesting TO
note that the game is really of French
origin, though most of its developm ert
has been in England. In the Basque
provinces it is still lplayed with gloves
instead of rackets, and in Italy game
very similar, but played in the open,
is popular under the name of par
lone"
