Commissioner of immigration Can't
netti expects to make tour of inspec.
ton along the Arizona and California
borders of Mexico, in order TO deter
mine future steps to check the Illicit
entry of Chinese into the, United
States.
He is satisfied that Chinese are con-
stantIy stepping over the border into
this country and that the border force
of immigration officials should be
greatly increased in order better to
enforce the immigration and white
slave laws. Commissioner Caminetti
will ask Congress to appropriate
$50, 900 more than usual for this pur-
pose.

GAS INSTEAD OF WATER.

HEMET, May 5.-Several wells
which have been sunk for water in
the vicinity Of the new town Brown
lands have been found to contain
gas, but the last one brought in only
a few days ago appears to produce
gas in marketable quantities, and
there is a consequent stir in that
section.
1t is believed that there is suffi-
cient gas in the last we'll to supply
the people Of the section and steps
have been made to control the flow
and pipe it into the houses. G. B.
Tibbots, manager Of the Hemet-San
Jacinto Gas company, went over to
Brownlands Sunday to Investigate
the matter, and he says that while
all the wells have gas, the newest
one will produce about 2000 inches
a day 1t is understood that since
the present flow was discovered
while prospecting for water, efforts
will be made to prosecute the work
further with a view to the develop
ment of gas on commercial basis
if it can be found in paying guam
titles, which the present wells would
seem to indicate is the case.

record to even exceed that made last
year by cotton experts is expected

Indja's Demand for Gold.

The important effect Of India pros
perity on the demand for the precious
metals is we'll known. The remark
able feature of the present year is that
the Indian demand, which has been
very large, has run rather to gold than
to silver For the ten months to Oc-
tober 81 India has taken from London
a total of G10,947 ,463 in gold, an un
precedented amount, while the total
value of it's silver purchases has been
GS,950,500, or about 82,000,000 less
than the gold. The silver takings
have not fallen off, but are greater
than for several years past. The ap-
proXimate quantities represented by
these values are 2,S16,100 ounces gold
and 77,270.500 ounces of silver, being,
respectively, about Is per cent. and
35 per cent of the worlds production.
The important question is what effect
the growing demand for gold may have
on future takings Of silver, and con.
sequently on the future price An i'm
portant point is that the. gold and sill
yer taken by India is nearly all alb.
sorbed, little being Xported.-Engi-

Petitions in Golf Holes

The amir of Afghanistan has taken
up golf keenly and has had good links
laid out in the neighborhood of Ka
bull The natives were much puzzled
by the well-kept green's, but recog
nizing the game as royal one, they
put the holes to a practical purpose
They got into the habit of placing pc
titions into the holes at night, in the
hope that they would reach the amir
when he was putting next day But
his maiesty's temper apparently was
not improved by the royal game He
resented this attempt. to take advan
tage of his recreations and ordered
that all such petitions be burned un

says the Imperial Valley Press. This
is a repetition Of the experience of
the effect that the best success al
ways lies with the early grain crop.
Year after year there has been both
early ahd late sowing, and each year
the men who have got in early crops
have made money and those who put
in a late crop either made little mon
{! or none. The aphis is only one
CT the causes of this, for the climatic
conditions also favor the early sown

DON'T WANT CATTLE
 ON THE FREE LIST
RITEER ATTACK TO BE MADE UPON DEMOCRATIC POLICY
 OF TARIFF REDUCTION.
American Live Stock Association To Take Action At Annual Meet
 ing at Phoenix.

Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 11.-A bitter attack upon the Democratic policy os tariff reduction as applied to dressed meats and cattle on the hoof will be launcher at the 18th annual conven- ton of the American Live Stock Association, win oh will meet in this city January, 14-16.
 Cttle men claim that any attempt to put meat on the free list will be op- posed by the American Organization They state that such course would be enmical to the interests of a great Industry and would work 'irreparable havoc. As set forth by those already on the ground, ''It will require the most diligent and careful work by the live stock agricultural classes to pre- vent the rank discrimination cOntem- plated by those who wish to reducce the tariff on meats and agricultural products"
 AllOuS OluC1 quCotAOho "h-SA "AN be considered at the annual meeting of the association are the following:
 Important dut'e 'es on live stock, meat products, wool and hides.
 Control of disposition of the semi-arid unappropriated public grazing lands.

OUTLOOK GLOOMY
 FOR BURNETT BILL Immigration Measure Ob- jected to Because of Treat ment Dealt Out to Castro. ILLITE ERACY TEST Quasi Official Investigation Will Re-
 sult-Parents Kept From Their Children.
(BY SIDNEY ESPEY)

Washington, Jan. 11-It is not be- lieyed that the Burnett immigration b'll, now pending before the Senate, will pass that body at the presen' session of Congress, or, indeed, dur ing aIhe extra session, yet the chief objection raised to it by it's oppon- ents has been removed by the sumary manner m which the administration dealt with Gipriano Castro, former president of Venezuela, when he landed on these shores.
 The Burnett bill provides an illit- eracy test for all aliens. They must be able to read and write before they enter th's country. The opponents fought the bill because they declared that under the illiteracy test the brilliant men, who invariably make trouble would have easy access here.
 Cipriano Castro can read and write ni several languages. He is polish cd man OI utlc WOIlu, anu doouiAAA6 that the Burnett bill was in force, he could pass any mental examina ion provided with honors. Yet, under the other laws, still in force, Castro was held as an ordinary Immigrant though having an international re- putation.
 Disease and Criminal wecords- these are the bars upon which the supporters of the Burnett immigrat on bill rely to keep out the undesirable individual who can pass the illiteracy test.
 With that idea in mind, many mem- bers of Congress, who supported Burnett's bill. are proposing an Quasl- official investigation for the purpose of ascerta ming just how much the Immigration officials know of indivi- duals entering their ports. They de-

BOOM C0FlnRLS FOR PRESIDENCY MT. Tawney is Four Years in Advance of the De-
 funct Party. BUILDER OF CANAL Is Chased as a Hero and His Work Will Be Celebrated at San
 Francisco.
BUILDER OF CANAL
(BY JONATHAN WINFIELD)

Wilmington, Jan. 11-Col. George w. Goethals for President. That is the newest political slogan, and al- though it is now being voiced by butt one man, it predicts that in 1916 a rejuvenated Republ can Party will take up the cry and about it so pre- sistently that Col. Goethal's name will be printed in the official ballot The result, this shouter foretel.s, will be pleasing to the ambitions of both the canal builder" and the Republican Party. James A. TaWney of M nnesota, former member of the House of Representatives, and laten identified with the CanadianBoundary Commission is the man who, four years in advance, has started a Presidential boom for Col. Goethals, the chief engineer of the Panama Canal during the per cd of the great est activity in the Canal Zone.
 MT. Tawney claims that when the people of the United States have been informed of the mighty genius of the "canal builder,' they will see the road clear before them and will make Col. Goethals, Woodrow Wilson's successor. MT. Tawney says:
 ''The completion of the Canal, af CT the defeat of de Lesseps and the en- tire French government, by an American engineer of retiring yet dominant executive ability, who had the courage and the brains to bring out the worst financial scandal Of centuries will be celebrated m San Francisco, and Goethals, the man who made it possible, will belauded as Dewey and other national heroes were lauded after their greaF vic tories.
 The result will be that tidal wave will sweep the entire country m favor Of COl. GO0ludlS, dS d SoAulu"'o AO- President on the Republican ticket, and the voters of the country, the majority of whom are ncw Republl- cans will elect him president.
 During the time when the Amerl- can public has found itself torn be- tween the coflcldning ambitions Of two men, MT. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft, Col Goethals has been buslly engaged in digging the Panama Canal. .He has, not been dlra'wul into the vortex of American politics. He has proven himself a great man, a man of achievement a man upon whom the Amer can people can unite, and in the digging of the Panama Canai there t,ias never been a whisper of graft" r, @ rs.sls.i This is the somewhat compli-
