Press Put in Commission Today

that paper was printed in Los Ange-
les. The four little pages were print
ed, one page at time, on a job print
ing press, and that was the only press
within fifty miles.
The only communication with the
outside world was by means of stage
that three times week piled between
Imperial and Flowing Well, station
on the main line of the railroad.
The editor and friend, at that time,
one morning took census of the pop
ulation of Imperial valley, and count
ed 158 people.
There were three or four farms in
partial cultivation in all Imperial
county. There was not a buggy nor
an automobile, nor road. The only
rocking chair in the valley was at the
Press office, and occasionally some
person would ask the privilege of sit
ting in it for moment, just for the
novelty of the experience. There was
not brick IN the valley, to say moth
ing of brick building. There were
only three frame buildings in the val
ley, store, church and the Press
office.
The next summer was trying one.
There was no ice, no milk, no butter,
M I,
tables-nothing but warm ditch wa
ter and canned goods. If one sought
to escape for a vacation there was a
stage ride of forty miles in the hot
sun and the same return trip.
1t was with such beginning the
Press began it's struggles, and year
by year it has grown with the growth
of the valley, taking deep root in all
the institutions which have made the
valley what it is, and the Goss Comet
press comes now as new milestone
to mark the history of the most re-
markable newspaper evolution in the
development of the resources of the
Southwest.
In the busy and modern days the
Press has no rocking chair in it's of
fee, but it is always pleased to re-
ceive it's friends, and invites all to call
at the Office any day between and A
o'clock and see the new press in ope-
ration.
Especially does it invite any bust
ness man to call any day and make
note of the number of copies printed.

Sacramento, Nov. TO- Governor

New Goss~ "Comet" Perfecting

This is the first issue of an Impe-
rial valley newspaper ever printed on
perfecting press.
For the second time in year and
half this journal has been obliged to
discard it's printing machinery and in
stall new.
A year and a half ago the drum
cylinder press, which had served all
needs to that date, was discarded and
Babcock Dispatch press capable of
printing four seven-column pages
was installed. That press required
he feeding of sheets by hand, once
for each side of the paper, and again
into folding machine. This also ne
cessitated the closing of four pages
Of the paper at 10 in the morning, and
as the dispatches came to p. m., and
the first papers must be in the post
Office soon after A, it left so narrow
margin Of time that the mails were
frequently missed.
This necessitated the installation of
another machine, and this is put into
commission today. 1t may be stated,
too, that this is the first new newspa-
per press ever shipped into Imperial
valley, all shops heretofore being con-
tent to buy secondhand machinery,
which has served the purpose during
the pioneer period.
But not only is this the first new
press ever brought to the valley. 1t
is the first press of the perfecting
type.
A perfecting press is one which
takes the paper from a roll or web,
prints on both sides and delivers the
papers folded, ready for the carriers
and mailing department.
At one end of the press is roll of
paper 80 inches in diameter and 70
inches wide, or the width of four
pages.
There are two type beds, one above
the other, on each of which there are
four pages of type, side by side, and
over each of these beds is a small
cylinder.
When the press is in operation these
cylinders are driven across the type,
and back, being raised free Of the
type on the return stroke. Thus with
each stroke forward each cylinder
prints four pages.
The roll of paper unwinds, the pa
per passing under the lower cylinder !

Washington, Nov. 10-A storm

President Wilson's efforts to get a

He insisted the committee would

No Change is Implied in
Land Office Ruling Says
Register of Los Angeles

Officials of the local land office say
the action of Secretary Lane in con-
firming the right of Hedge A. Havens
to half section of land that was at
one time included in the 100 sections
withdrawn from entry, should not be
regarded as establishing a precedent
and that the general rule that none
of the lands withdrawn in aid of the
Yuma irrigation project shall be avail
able for settlement still holds, says
the Los Angeles Times.
The opinion of the secretary of the
interior, reversing that of Register
Buren and Receiver Robinson, as well
rs the commissioner of the general
land office, says: at is true that
Havens settled on the land in advance
of the date fixed in the order of res
toration. His settlement, however,
was not made in disregard of the or
der, but in pursuance of what he
understood to be a preference right
because of his representations result
ing in the elimination of the with
drawal.
The Havens entry was among those
withdrawn in the interest of the Yu-
ma reclamation project on December
26, 1911. Havens had made a desert
land entry, involving 800 acres, but
the entry was rejected at the local
land Office because the land had been
withdrawn and was not subject to en-
try. Thereupon Havens appealed, al
leging that he had been informed by
DR.. Newell, director of the Reclama-
ton Service, THAT if he (Havens)
could show any of the withdrawn
lands could be irrigated and re-
claimed, and would procure a water
right therefor, such land would be
restored to the public domain at his
(HavensO request. and also provided
that the lands in question were not
needed in furtherance of the Yuma
project.
On August %, 1912, the land that
had been restored to the public do
main was opened to settlement and
two men, Conover and Welsh, set
tied on part of the Havens land. 1t

special privilege, all singing the one
song, that Progressiveism was dead
and that the Republican party had re-
gained it's sway.
The entire presidential lightning
rod contingent spent days counseling
amalgamation, consolidation and re-
turn of the penitent leaders of the
Republican party. All were conf
dent what the result would be.
The issue was plain, which party
should survive, Republican or Pro-
gressive. 1t was thought by our
standpat friends and counsellors of
office, men like Cummins and Borah,
that they could safely rest the issue
in the Bay state, with it's glorious
traditions, but as usual, they reckoned
without the people.
Never before has the Republican
party been third in Massachusetts,.
The result was plain, Republicans
dropped from second to third, losing
from the total vote. The Progressives
leaped from third to second place, in
creasing the total vote.
The reactionary press took pains to
say little regarding Massachusetts,,
but pointed with pride to New Jersey.
The issue there is obscure. The Pro-
gressives elected mayors in Syracuse,
Auburn and New York.
Taking it all in all the Progress
sives may congratulate themselves
over the recent results. There is the
same splendid militant spirit among
them as last year.

the press, where it moves upward,
thence returning toward the paper

der and is printed on the second side.
The paper is then slit one half be-

sections of the paper together if de-

From the press proper the double

was alleged by these men that Havens
was on the land illegally before it had
been restored to entry, and therefore
under the previous relings of the gen.
eral land Office was trespasser. The
ruling of the secretary of the interior
confirms the right of Havens to the
land and dismisses the contest of
Conover and Welsh.
In the opinion of Register Buren,
of the land office, the decision of the
secretary of the interior is not, in
tended to mark out new line of poll
cy in regard to the right of entry
men to settle on the withdrawn lands;
that the ruling is the result of the
understanding with Director Newell,
ofo the reclamation service, and the
further fact that Havens had made
expensive improvements on his land,
purchased sufficient water stock to ir-
rigate the property, the evidence
showing that he had $50 acres under
cultivation.
1t is the view of the register that
in cases where entries are sought on
land within the Yuma project area
that have been restored to entry, it
will depend on the peculiar circum-
stances of the case in hand He does
not think that the policy announced
in the Havens case will mean that
entrymen who have settled on land
that has not been restored, will be
confirmed in their rights. There are
said to be other cases in the Yuma
district in line with the Havens in
stance, and according to the edict of
Secretary Lane, such entrymen may be
confirmed in their right to hold the

a saw-edged knife which cuts the pa

Ell Paso, Texas, Nov. 1O-Notwith-
standing that Chihuahua City has
been under bombardment for forty
hours, much of the time by rebel ar
tillery, practically all of the time un-
der rifle fire, no great damage has
ben done and the losses in the rebel
ranks have been heavy.
A code message from German Con-
sui Kueck of Chihuahua to Max
Weber, German consul at Juarez, says
"Chihuahua was severely attacked by
1000 Of General Villas men. The
fight has been going on for thirty
six hours. The city has been bonn
barded, but no great damage has
been done. The rebels loss is un-
known, but is thought to be heavy.
The government has gained a great
victory and the losses will be small"
Four Americans have been killed

Washington, Nov. 10-The admins
tration is pinning it's hope now in the
Mexican situation to the influence
that may be exerted by European
governments upon Huerta.
This was indicated clearly by a
conference which John Lind, the
presidents special representative,
held with Sir Lionel Garden, soon
after the formers arrival in Mexico
City. All advices received here to-
day indicated that Huerta is firm in
his determination to stand out against
the American demands for his elm
ination. There have been hints, how
ever, that Huerta might be compelled
to change his mind if he becomes
convinced that all the European
governments were standing behind
the insistence of the United States.
The representatives of practically
all of the European governments,
notably Sir Lionel Garden, British
minister, already have gone on rec
ord as opposed to the course fol-
lowed by the United States in Mex
leo.

not formally defied the Washington
government, nor has the administra-
tion abandoned hope of peaceful set
tlement. This was made plain at the
presidents audience to newspaper
men today. He said no new Mexican
policy had been framed and denied
that he is preparing special Mexi-
can message for congress and that
Lind has made final recommenda-
tions. The Mexican matter will not be
submitted to congress for at least a
week.
Mexico City, Nov. 10-Upon the
authority of a relative of Huerta it
was told to the correspondent today
that Lind and Huerta last night had
meeting at the presidents house
at which Lind formally served no
tice upon Huerta that he must re-
sign within seventy-two hours. In
SAGE of Huerta's refusal, Lind is said
to have warned him the United States
Immediately would issue an ultima
tum, following it with armed inter-
vention, should Huerta maintain his
attitude of defiance.
From the same source came a re-
port that Huerta had been notified by
representatives Of all European pow
ers that they concurred in the Unit
ed States demand and that he would
tomorrow publicly declare his inten-
tion of quitting the presidency No
vember Is.
Washington, Nov. 10-Reports were
circulated here late tonight that John
Lind had given General Huerta sew
enty-two hours in which to yield to
the demands of the United States. No
confirmation could be obtained of
these reports in official circles.
The administration plan of action is
still to argue with Huerta and to SUBJ
pect him to the pressure of foreign
nations. It is certain that President
Wilson before taking any drastic step
will lay the Mexican situation before
congress.
