Dedication Anniversary at Church

On the first Sunday OF last year the
State street Christian church was
opened for work and worship. The
building and furnishings cost $4,000,
and would be a credit to a city OF
much greater size than El Centro
The pastor and members of the
church have determined to celebrate
next Sunday as the first anniversary
of the dedication of this beautiful
house of worship. A special musical
program is being prepared for both
morning and evening. In the evening
there will be a prelude of sacred mu-
sic by a quartet from the El Centro
band. The past year has been one of
progress with the organization. There
has been a net gain of forty members
At present the average attendance of
the Sunday school is about 100. The
ladides auxiliary is fiourishing, and
all departments Of church life show
progress. The church people invite
all their friends 70 assemble with them
next Sunday to help make the ami
yersary day memorable in the history
Of the congI GsdtiOn.

istration, 1906 and 1907.
Schmitz was mayor, having been
elecJed on the Union Labor ticket,
when Abe Ruef was the curly boss
and czar of San Francisco. 1t has
been alleged that Schmitz was mere
fgurenead and that ne was, complete
ly under the finger of Ruef, who is
now serving a fourteen year sentence
in San Quentin prison
The trial of Schmitz comes as a Sc
Quel to the most sensational graft in
quiry ever attempted in any Ameri-
can city. For years the city was di-
vided between Warring parties and
dire threats and attempted assassin
ations were almost daily occurrences
during the course of the investigation.
which uncovered much corruption not
alone among city officials but involved
many "higherups" in social and finan-
cial circles who had profited largely
trough the regime of graft.
Abe Ruef, the discrediteu and con-
victed boss, is now one of the model
prisoners of San Quentin. Well edu-
Gated, an able lawyer, modestly dress
ed, careful and precise in his choice
of English, he was far from being the
typical rough meek" boss. With
great talents, he might have been
highly successful in the role of an
honest man, but he chose instead the
road that led to San Quentin.

COL. OCKERSoN LETS
CONTRACT FOR LEVEE

Yuma Sun: At the offices of Col. ],
A. Ockerson, engineer in charge of the
Colorado river control work, bids were
opened Wednesday for the reconstruc-
tion of the levees, damaged by the
foods of last winter. The contract
calls for the placing of approximately
$4,000 yards of earth embankment
and 10000 yards of stone work. The
work must be done within the next
ninety Gays, to insure its completion
before the annual flood in the Colorado
which is due early in April.
James H. Maxey of Yuma had the
lowest bid and will be awarded the
contract to do the work. His bid was
% cents per yard for the earth work
and $3.50 per yard for the stone work.
The other bidders were:
Jack Mulligan, whose bid was 29
cents for the earthwork and $1.94 7-10
cents for the stone work.
The c. NJ. Company OF Mexico hid
2312 cents for the earth work ana 50
for the stone work.
Mr.. MaXey is a Yuma contractor and
has a large equipment of stock and ac-
cessories and will be able to assemble
a large force on this work at an early
date. Mr.. MaXey did large portion
of this work last winter and is thor
oughly familiar with the conditions
under which the work must be done
and the physical difficulties which
must be overcome.
Mr.. MaXey's headquarters are in
Yuma ana all of the force of men and
stock will be assembled here and sent
from here over the line. The work
men will be paid off in Yuma and thus
will another large construction camp
to the general prosperity OF
his old town.

THE SPORTING INSTINCT

SatuJ Jay Evening Post: There
were once some rich young gentlemen
who had a shooting preserve in Ten
neszee. here quail were quite abund-
ant. One of them laid a wager with
another that he could kill one hun
dred quail to his own gun in days
shooting. Whether he did or not, the
undertaken could scarcely be called
sportsmanlike in America today. At
last these young men, looking for
something more exciting, went down
into Texas and took up the sport of
roping cattle, riding on the range with
the cowpunchers. They declared that
this was the finest sport they had
ever had-and so it is, good sport
and manly. Still better is wild horse
hunting, practiced not for the money
but for the excitement of it by a
few men who make it a business in
Nevada and Arizona. That certainly
is a mans game in every respect.
Japanese sometimes match cock
quail against each other in the pit, as
Cubans and Spaniards do game cocks.
Not much can be said in favor of
badger drawing, dog fighting and that
sort of thing; yet somehow it seemed
quite an amiable pastime in the far
Southwest years ago to fight your pet
tarantula against your neuighbor' S
champion at, say, So side. Which
recalls Mark Twain's sport of jump
ing frog.
The principle of matching one crea-
ture against another in its specially
has odd eXemplitiCatiOn i'll the linnet
matches that are sometimes even yet
carried on in London or other cities
of Great Britain. Quite often it is
only the roughest of men who engage
in this singular sport The decision
is made by skilled Judges, who pass
without hesitation on the qualities of
each birds voice, penalizing what is
called a rough note and making
their awards on the basis of the num-
Der of points scored by each compet-
itor in the several tests of good bird
song.
A curious and rather practical sort
of sport not known to very many per
sons today is hunting the wild hog.
In England the man who would shoot
a fox would be barred from society;
in India the man who would shoot a
wild boar would equally be stunned
as social pariah. In America we
sometimes shoot foxes with the shot
gut in New England, and in the West
you may shoot wild hogs with the
rifle. This, however, is utilitarianism
and not sport
In the early days settlers used to
turn hogs loose on islands in the Mis-
sissippi river, where they fed on nuts
ana roots. Each farmer had a share
in the total product, increase and all,
and the rights OF each were carefully
regarded in the fall harvest time
when the hogs, of course, had to be
shot to be secured
In the Spanish Southwest, the pee
cary, q savage little wild hog that
ranges in herds and takes aalight in
fighting buzz saws. is one &. the most
dreaded creatures of the wilds. A
noted bear hunter once told the writer
that he was more afraid OF one Mis-
sissippi wild hog than of a dozen
bears. Turn the creature loose and
let him go wild for generation or
SOS, and the amiable stockyards prod
uct is apt to be a problem.

Subscriber Gets BENEFIT

The ordinary newspaper for delivery,
soliciting and collecting and in failures
to collect loses 66 per cent of the sub
scriptiOn money. The Daily Press, by
requiring cash in advance in every case,
avoids all losses and all expense of COL
lecting. BY letting Uncle Sam do most
of the delivering it saves greatly. This
makes the low price possible, and the
low price and high character of the pa
per are the only solicitors. This is the
policy that makes possible the Great
Dollar Daily and this is why no name
is entered on our subscription list with
out cash in advance, and why all sub
scriptions are stopped at the expiration
Of the time paid for. II
