LOCAL AND PERSONAL.


Numerous pranks of mild nature
were performed Halloween night and
the young folks had good time. Even
old married men were seen hiding GO
carts and chairs belonging to their
neighbors. One thing that should be
stopped is the destruction of property.
Several out buildings were upset Thur
day night and new shed belonging
to Jas. Law was thrown over, its weight
causing it to break in two. which cost
him several dollars to repair They
also destroyed property belonging to old
folks and widows who had to pay to
have it replaced. A 'Jack" belonging
to JAS Law was put in the High School
basement where Jim Chandler found
him Friday morning. Some claim the
mule should have remained in the base
ment until after election. Mr. Law is
inclined to think his Jack is the Demo
cratic Mule" so much in evidence since
Tuesday.
Tuesday evening, Nov 18th there
will be an open meeting of the Woman's
Foreign Missionary society of the NJ.
E. church at thei home of Mrs, Emil
Bilharz. The husbands of the ladies
will also be present. The regular pro-
gram will be supplemented by talks on
special topics and music. Lunch will
be served following the program.

Anderson and WieSeI Declared to BE
Traitors to Their Party by the
County Central Committee

AT a meeting of the Republican cen
trail committee of Orange county, held
at Santa Ana Saturday, October 10
1912, the following resolution, intro
duced by F. c. Spencer of Anaheim,
was unanimously adopted:
Whereas, the candidates for the
state senate and the assembly, John
N. Anderson and H. V. Weisel, nomi-
mated at the recent primary election,
Under the name of Republicans, did at
the late state Republican convention
vote for presidential electors who are
pledged to the candidates of the Ma
tional Progressive party, and did in
this manner oppose to the Republican
party;
Therefore, we the members of the
county central committee of the Re
publican party of Orange county, do
hereby condemn the action Of the said
candidates in thus betraying the conf
dence repOsed in them by the members
of hte Republican party so that they
are unworthy of the support of loyal
Republicans. and
We do therefore advise all members
of the Republican party to vote at the
coming election for the regular Demo
cratic nominees for the state legisla-
ture; and be it further
Resolved, that this committee was
instructed by the Republican county
convention, held in Santa Ana on Sep
tember 21, to fill the vacancies on the
legislative ticket, and we, the Repub-
lican county central committee, do
hereby fill those vacancies by endors-
ing the candidacy of Louis Paul Hart
for state senator of the thirty-ninth
district

Running Strong

James W. Glassford, Democratic
candidate for the assembly from I'm
perial county, is making a race which
seems to spell success. Mr.. Glassford's
popular personality and full qualifica-
tions for the office which he seeks to
fill are effectively making votes for
him, even among those whose politi-
cal beliefs do not fully coincide with
his own. After ALL in the California
legislature, the matter of political af-
fliations counts for little legislat-
ure united on progressive measures
united in seeking to make laws which
shall best secure improvement in con
ditions in this state and the fullest
opportunities for its people of every
class, is of paramount Importance to
the voters, while the mere matter Of
politics, in state affairs, is a secondary
consideration. Accepting this point of
view-a broad and proper one-no vot =
er in Imperial county, of whatever par
ty he or she may be a member, need

The arcade gracing the front of the
new Anderson & Meyer building will
be continued by p. A. Rust across the
front of his building. The lathing and
plastering of the big partition is in

that adjoining for the occupancy of the

Although the structure in the man
canal was practically destroyed by the
recent washout in No. 5, the company
has been able to put in temporary con-
struction that has permitted of a con-
tinuatnce of service. 1t is believed
that it will be necessary to rebuild the
entire main structure.
The Pioneer Truck company of lbs
Angeles is reported by a prominent
rancher as having leased a number of
ranches in his locality, among these he
mentioned the holdings known as the
Nichols, Blodgett and Mead ranches, as
high as S12 per acre being paid for
some of the land. This large truck
company now controls over 1000 acres
in the valley, about 1900 acres having
been purchased and the remainder be-
ing held under lease.

DELEG ATES TO BE ANNOUNCED

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 26.-Acting Gov
ernor wallace will announce early next
week the names of the southern Cali
fornia delegates to the national ocean
to-ocean highway convention, which is
to assemble at Santa Fe n. NJ, Novem-
Der - The naming of this delegation
* particularly important in view of
the fact that the convention will have
great deal to say as TO the route the
highway will follow. Three great or
ganizations are working on the nation
al highway project, and the conven
ton Of the National Ocean-to-Ocean
Highway association will have for its
principal business the consideration of
a movement to amalgamate these three
endeavors. This movement is we'll
started and the cooperation of the
highway association assured at it's
Santa Fe meeting undoubtedly will in
sure the success of the coalition.
Twenty ght delegates will go from
this end of the state, leaving probably
Sunday, November 10, and returning
Thursday. President Mitchell of the
Los Yuma auxiliary, is
also president of the national associa
ton, and an effort is already being
made to induce him to accept anoth er
term. He says that he cannot take the
responsibility another year, but his
friends believe he will change his mind.

school Teachers

Thomas jefferson, asked to suggest
an epitaph for himself to be placed
over his grave, expressed the wish that
it should recite only two facts-that
he wrote the declaration of independ-
ence and that he was president of the
University of Virginia. school teach
or. James A. Garfield, one of the
greatest of our presidents, was a school
eacher before entering the political
arena, and when elected to office he
made good" Efforts to ridicule the
pretensions of Woodrow Wilson TO the
greatest office in the gift of the Amer
lean people because he has been a dis
tinguished educator-the head of a
great university-are especially un-
worthy in view of the careers of JEFF
ferson and Garfield themselves also
university presidents. Partisanship in
a newspaper is one thing, concealm ent
of the truth for partisan purposes is
another. Let us be Amercan-and fair.

COLORADO RIVER COMPARED

Colorado river, which drains an area
of some 100000 square miles. is often
called the Nile of America. and like
the Nile IL is subject to an annual
summer rise which comes at the time
the water is most needed for irriga-
tion. In water supply paper 2S9 Of
the United States geological survey an
interesting comparison is made of this
great southwestern river with the
Egyptian Nile and with the Susque-
hanna The Nile is similar in type
to the Colorado; the Susquehanna
shows the difference in flow between
arid and humid regions. In the com
parison normal year, based on a 10
year record for Colorado and Susuue-
hanna rivers and such data as could
be found in regard to the Nile, have
been used. The Colorado has been
taken as the standard of comparison.
The Nile has 81 times the drainage
area, and the Susquehanna about one
eighth the area of the Colorado. The
rainfall in the Nile basin is 3S times
greater; that in the Susquehanna ba
sin is AS times greater. The runoff
per square mile from the Nile basin
is 1.9 times greater; that from the
Susquehanna basin is 81 times greater.
The discharge of the Nile is 10.S times
greater than that of the Colorado;
that of the Susquehanna is As times
s. eater.
The annual maximum flow of the
Colorado varies from $4,000 to 10000
second feet and occurs in May, June
or July; for the Nile it is about $4,000
second feet and occurs about the 1st
of September; for the Susquehapna it
Is; from 15a 600 to $50, 900 sacond feet
and occurs i'll September OF October
Th" annual minimum Glow OF the
Co!orado varies from $500 to 5000 seq
cnd feet and occurs during January
or February; that of the Nile is ohC'iI
1i,5O0 second feet and occurs about
the end CT may; for the Susquehanaa il
is fl ON goo TO 1000 secCrl feet and
ct,l.r- in September or Octobe er
The mean flow of the Colorado for
the period 1894 to 1903 was 1O,700 sec
ond feet. The mean flow for the pc
riod 1904 to 1910, however, was 25,400
second feet; for the Nile it is abo ut
1886 second feet; for the Susgue-
hanna, it is about 41,000 second feet.

Ten Out of Twelve

In the county of Orange, where y
newspapers are published, all but one
r publican, 10 are now supporting the
candidacy of William Kettner, Demo-
cratic candidate for congress in this
district. This extra ordinary support Of
Mr.. Kettner by the press of orange
county augurs well for his carrying
the county by an immense majority. In
every city, town, village and hamlet in
the county, Kettner placards are in
evidence, and those in whose places of
business they are displayed are filled
with enthusiasm for the big hearted,
genial and energetic Democratic can
didate. Kettner has all the earmarks
of a winner

stands for Something

Louis Paul Hart, Democratic candi-
date for the state senate in this dis
trict, was a visitor to Ell Centre Sat
urday and will remain in this valley
several days. Owing to the illness of
his wife, he has been prevented from
being here sooner. Mr.. Hart is the
owner and editor of the newspaper in
his home city of Huntington Beach,
in Orange county, and is besides in
terested in other publications. He is
also secretary of his local board OF
trade and prominent in all the bus
mess organizations of his county. New
er before candidate for political of
fee. his strong popularity in his own
county has practically assured him a
very large majority there and his pros
poets of election are admittedly strong
In fact, he will probably be the next
state senator from this district.
Mr.. Hart expresses himself as much
impressed with the wonderful progress
of Imperial county, as learned through
individuals and the press, and his inn
preston is being strengthened and
confirmed by his visit to the valley,
where he has several friends Of long
standing. The fact that he is an eX
pert in publicity, because of his "a
years of newspaper work, will, should
he be elected senator, be of direct bene-
fit to the Imperial valley, because as
its senator he will have strong per
sonal interest in its progress and will
make its advantages known wherever
and whenever possible.
Though the regular Democratic can
didate for the office which he seeks.
Mr. Hart was about week ago en-
dorsed by the Republican central com
mittee of his county of Orange, and
declares that he now has the endorses
ment of three parties, two being the
Democratic and Republican and the
third party, he says, being his wife.
He is a man of very positive CON
victions, stands for social and indus
trial betterment, and is very conserva-
tive on the tariff, being an advocate
of every possible tariff advantage for
the products of his district. He argues
that since this government needs near
ly a billion dollars yearly to conduct
its affairs. southern California is en-
titled to its share of protection in the
raising of that amount. If elected, he
will cast his vote for United States
senator whose views agree with his
own.
