asked: What will lands be worth in

Scientists Discuss Space.
(By United Press Associations


BIRMINGHAM, Eng, Sept. 10
The discussions and controversies
relating to the existence and func-
tions Of space, and to the physical
continuity of which it is the chief
element" was the subject discussed
by Sir Oliver Lodge in his presiden-
tial address before the British Asso-
cation which opened its annual cor
gress here today.
The British Association is the lead
ing scientific body in Great Bri.a:n,
and Sir Oliver Lodge, whose re-
searches into the unknown have as
sisted him in building up a world
wide reputation, is England's mo;
famous scientist The continuity of
life after what is popularity regarded
as death has long been one Of his
favorite subjects, and some three
thousand scientists gathered in the
congress hall today to hear the views
of 'the master"
The electrifcation of railways and
wireless signals, the naturalization of
canals and popular education are
among the subjects to be discussed
during the week the congress will be
in sitting, professors of onthropology
will be enquiring into prehistoric trade
between England and France at the
same time that woman delegate is
explaining to the psychologists the re-
suits of her studies of the behaviors
of guinea pigs. Women delegates will
be much in evidence during the con-
gress and for the first time in the
associations history a woman will
preside over one Of the sections-Miss
Ethel Sargant, who is president of the
botanists. The suffragists will be
heard when Charles Burt reads a

One Mans Experience
In Pioneering Valley

"The stone which the builders re

About twelve years ago the writer
made his first visit throughout the
length and breadth of the land, as I'M

perial county. California. w. F. Holt
of Redlands was my travelling COM
panion. When we reached point on
the Southern Pacific now known as
Imperial Junction, there was not a
sign or veStige of station, not even
a boxcar. A man by the name Of Me
Cauley transferred passengers by an
old-fashioned overland stage to I'M
perial City. We put up at a rag"
hotel. The next morning we took a
rig and drove east across the Alamo
river, into what is now known as
Water District No. 5, past the town.
site of the present city of Holtvilla,
through the No. country and, late at
night, reached what is now known as
the city of Calexico. This was in De-
cember 1t was cold | was chilled
through and through. We met Jim
Hoffman. Jim wanted to know if

l was just an ordinary "tenderfoot"
from Redlands. The next morning we
drove north past what is now known
as Heber, and later passed the present
site Of the city of Ell Centre, on into
Imperial City. We passed some corn
and barley fields, the first crop raised
in the valley, so as to furnish food for
the work stock. The hardy pioneers
did not have time to plant anything
for their own sustenance-they lived
out of tin cans.
The writer took particular notice Of
the lay of the land, most of it being
covered with a sparse growth Of
greasewood, some Of it covered with
of greasewood and mesquite. | staked

bilities cf Imperial valley, the land OF
plenty, the land of promise, the land
of opportunity, which we discovered
out here in one of the most desolate
of waste places, formerly known as

The elongated senator from Clack-

STATE TELEPHONE
PLANT PROPOSED
Bonds Up to $4,000, 900 Idea of Kella-
her: People Would Vote On 1t in


Salem, Or.-Senator Kellaher wants
to submit to the people plan of state
ownership or: regulation, either or
both, of telephone and telegraph com
panies, and to that end he has intro
duced a resolution in the senate call
ing for submission of an amendment
to the constitution autnorizing the is
sue of state bonds up to $2,000,000.
The Kellaher amendment is one of
the longest ever proposed to the Ore
gon constitution, probably exceeded
only by w. S. U'Rens efforts in his
reform of state government schome,
which was voted down last November.
. Kellaher proposes to create a COM
mission, consisting of governor, sec
retary of state and state treasurer. to
buy or construct telephone and tele-
graph systems and fix rates, which
for telephone are not to exceed 81 for
residence phones and corresponding
rates for other service, "or as low a
price as possible along with the high
est service"

HOUSE TO BUSY
TO VISIT 0. A. C.

Salem, or. Feb. 6.-Senate and
house disagreed as to the acceptance
of an invitation from President Kerr
of the oregon Agricultural college to
visit that institution on a special train
next Saturday.
The senate accepted the invitation
in a hurry, adopting a joint resolution
by Hawley by unanimous vote, hav-
ing to suspend the rules to get imme-
Giate action. The senate was UP with
its business early in the afternoon,
but the house, clogged with an ac-
emulation of business, was in less
cheerful frame of mind.
When the resolution came UP in
the lower body, Mitchell of Baker was
first to offer objections He said he
did not believe in such junketing
trips. Nichols retorted that he con-
siders it the duty of the lawmakers
to go and see how it is proposed to
spend the hundreds of thousands of
dollars that the state institutions are
asking for.
Schuebel of Clackamas declared he
was not in favor of chasing over the
state in any such manner unless the
members will pledge themselves to
stay at Salem for six weeks or two
months. if necessary, to complete their
work.
A motion to suspend the rules and
take up the resolution at once was de-
feated by vote of 81 to 10, with 10
absent. The subject was then refer
red to the committee on resolutions
in regular order, and that committee
is reported to be hostile to the plan
for adjournment on Friday.
Both houses have accepted an in
vitation from Samuel Hill to inspect
the good roads he has built at Mary
hill, Wash, next Sunday. 1t was the
plan of President Kerr to run a spe-
cial train from Salem to Carry the
legislature to Corvallis Saturday NOR
ming, leaving Corvallis the same even
ing for Portland by another special.
After a nights rest the members
would then be expected to deliver
themselves Sunday morning for the
good roads excursion up the Column
bia.
As the matter now stands, the SEN
ate, being well up with the work, may
decide to go aone to Corvallis. or it
may be that after thinking it over
the house will decide to join hands
and take the time necessary to make
the trip on Saturday.
