NO SENSE IN TT

Redlands Facts: The candidacy of
Mr.. Needham, as applied to the new
Eleventh district, does not seem to
be making much of hit. The Facts
quoted the Imperial Valley Pres,
against it a few days ago, and now
the Santa Ana Register rises to make
few similar remarks. Both are in
fiuential papers, and Mr.. Needham
may well consider their remarks. We
quote the Register, as follows:
There ought not to be any serious
thought or talk of Congressman Need
ham moving to San Diego and run
ming fer congress in this district. 1t
would be poor politics and worse than
poor business.
Needham is needed in congress,
and whether from this district or an
other he would serve the fruit grow
ing interests equally well. The suresr
way TO secure his return 10 congress
is for him to run for reelection in
the district in which he now main
tains his legal residence.
If he should move into this district
and run he would almost certainly
be defeated. People will not stand
for political colonization, whether it
be of voters or Office seekers, and
while that would not be the spirit in
which Mr.. Needham might come
among us, the effect in the public
mind would be the same as if it
were.
Congressman Smith, whose resi-
dence is now in the same district as
/, Needham's, almost certainly will not
run for reelection, for it is well known,
and with great regret, that his health
gives no promise of permanent i'm
provement.
With Needham defeated here and
Smith unable to enter the race there,
both districts would be represented
by inexperienced and practically un-
known men; while if Needham re-
mains in his own district. he can al
most assuredly be reelected and be
of great service to the state.
Let it be that way, and then let us
elect strong, capable man in this
district to work with Mr.. Needham
TO do this the progressives must

THAT STATE HIGHWAY

The Press has repeatedly de-
clined to- grow excited over the state
highway proposition, in part because
it believes that in due course Of time
both roads will be built and in part
because it feels that the state high
way commission will be unable to al
lot to the FL Centre road the money
that would be required to build from
Banning to Brawley.
1t is the understanding of the Press
that a policy outlined some time since
is agreeable to the people of San Di-
ego. to Imperial valley and to the state
commission. This is for San Diego
county to build to the county line, the
state to build about thirty-eight miles
through the mountains, in Imperial
county, and this county to build the
remainder.
In accordance with this tacit agree
ment, San Diego county now has $50
men working steadily on its road and
Imperial county has about a dozen
prisoners working on its end of the
road.
The Press is anxious to see both
roads built, TO make the Grand Circuit
which it has heretofore outlined, but
the state highway commission surely
can be depended on to cooperate with
those who are actually building road
on the short line.

SEARCH FOR LOST CRAFT

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 27.-The schooner
Neptune, commanded by Capt William
Gerald and carrying a rescue party,
has left San Diego harbor to search
for the i'll fated William Alsen, the

According to indications the crew
and Captain Barrete may have per-
ished. If any are alive they will re-
ceive aid from the Neptune, now on
its way
The Alsen left Ensenada December
Is with machinery and supplies for
an American mining company at San
Domingo, 225 miles to the south. The
boat has not been heard from since.
A heavy storm ragged on the coast
shortly after the Alsen sailed and
wreckage has come ashore near San
Quintin, which resembles timbers
from the missing craft. There is lit
tie nope that the crew has survived.
