WATER PROJECT GAINING

BANNING, Sept. 23.-Unly two miles
of stone ditch remain to be laid in or
der to put the water of the White
water river on Banning apple land and
in order to generate electricity for
many neighboring towns. The Consol-
idated Reservoir and Power company,
capitalized at a million dollars, has for
three years had immense crews of
Hindu laborers engaged in bringing
the Whitewater river away from the
unproductive desert lands into general
use. The project is one of the most
important now being carried out in
southern California and will irrigate
several sections of choice apple land.
H. Edwin Moore and w. B. Scar
borough Of Los Angeles are president
and secretary respectively. The ditch
conveying the water is about ten miles
in length and is constructed over some
very rough territory, mostly through
the Angeles national forest.

STREAK OF DEMOCRACY
SHOT LOS ANGELESWARO

streak of Democracy was shot
westward from the valley yesterday,
flying like flaming meteor in the di-
rection of Los Angeles, where 1t is
presumed William Jennings Bryan was
duly impressed by the manly beauty of
the denizens of the desert.
There were just 200 tickets sold for
the excursion, many of the excursion
lists being of other political tendencies,
but the whole for the day being en-
robed in Jeffersonian garments.
The excursionists carried many
gaudy decorations proclaiming the
merits Of the greatest county on earth,
and intended to distribute many cot
ton. bolls as a symbol Of the valley.
Bryan Gets There
[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONSl
Los ANGELES, Sept. 23.-willianf
Jennings Bryan arrived at o'clock
this morning to open Wilson's Califor :
mia campaign. On arrival he said:
1--WE are gaining rapidly in the western
states. The split in the Republican
party is about half and half in most
states. The Democrats are united
everywhere"
Bryan spoke to a gathering of 5000
women voters. He said: "I wish to
draw a contrast between the Chicago
and Baltimore conventions. Roosevelt
says both conventions were controlled
by Wall street. He knows better. Wall
street controlled the Republican con-
vention. 1t failed at Baltimore. The
interests behind Taft are the same
which were appreciated by Roosevelt
in times past"

No CHANCE FOR LAND

Los Angeles Times: Persons on the
lookout for government land should
not lay the fattering JUNCTION to their
souls that there will be a grand op-
portunity to get ranch tomorrow at
the local land office, when under an
order issued by the secretary of the in
terror four townships located in the
north end of Imperial valley, northwest
of Rrawley, and in the vicinity Of the
Salton sea, will be opened to filing.
The same land was open to settlement
August %. and scores of entrymen
have rushed into the valley.
Following the act of congress of
June II. 1902, the land was withdrawn
from public entry April 16 1909. Pre-
vious TO the passage of the act upon
reports of government engineers set
ting forth the feasibility of the prof.
ect, four townships were withdrawn to
be used for a series of canals carrying
the water from the Colorado river in
t. the territory for irrigation purposes.
At that time the land had been set
tied on, and as a matter of fact but
little of it was affected by the order.
Subsequent Investigations showed
that the project was not tenable for
the time being, on account of its cost
and inability to get congress interest
ed. 1t was then concluded that if the
entrymen wanted water they would
have to get it from the Imperial valley
water company.
Under the provisions of the eXecu-
| tive order restoring the land to entry,
| it was provided that it would be open
| for settlement August %, and for FL
| ing September 23. Many more settlers
went there. and under the law they
will have the first right to the places
| they have selected.
SO, between those who were on the
| land when it was withdrawn and those
who have gone there within the past
month. 1t is not expected there will be
| any surplus land tomorrow. An i'm
| preston has gone out among prospect
| i've settlers that a large area of pub
| lie land is to be opened to settlem ent
but such is not the case.

YOKOHAMA, Sept. 23.-The Ameri-

Knox, was the guest Of honor at a
dinner given here Saturday night by
members of the American colony. Re
spending to a toast, the secretary re-
viewed the accomplishm ents OF the
reign just closed. saying Japan's grief
in which those present shared. person
ally. might be assigned by proud con-
temptation of the inestimabie blessings
of the Meiji era during which the EN-
pire had extended and been perma

This era was unexcelled by any other
chapter Of human history. he declared
The relations of the United sta. es
to the marvellous changes in this cOun
try in the last sixty years had been
intimate, he continued. The japanese
horizon as extended largely because
we urged her to open the door for the
ingress of our civilization and the
egress of her own, he said.
"The empire has been unified and
strengthened through a self-sacrificing g
patriotism which is without historic
precedent because such changes were
necessary to enable Japan to meet her
responsibilities and protect herself
against the dangers in the new rela-
tion to which the west had invited
her"
Mr. Knox said that when the Neil
emperor established equal and humane
laws. the west looked on with admira
ton and recognized a determination tc
advance faithfully to a higher world
Of civilization. Recalling with salts

played by the United States in urging

1t is a mistake to think that hens
cannot be made to do their best when
kept constantly confined. Rather, if
their wants are supplied and they are
made perfectly cOntented, more eggs
may be obtained from them than If
they are allowed to run at large. But
fowls kept this way are not to be
recommended as vigorous breeding
stock. The plan will do for the man
who changes all his poultry stock ev-
cry year or two and buys it fresh
from the open range.
