No Brewery Dictation Is
To Rule The County Say
The Voters of Imperial

In Imperial yesterday there was
held the most peculiar election yet
witnessed in this valley.
The booze forces of the town had
become divided into two factions, one
led by the Imperial Enterprise as
representative of a Los Angeles brew
cry which apparently seeks to dominate
the affairs of that town, and whose
political manager, the publisher Of
the Enterprise, has made his boast
that he would dominate the politics Of
the county; the other fector being led
by c. W. Fernald and M. v. butcher,
manager and owner of the King Cot
ton hotel, which has won unsavory
reputation.
1t was alleged that Fernald has
abused his liquor license selling priv
ilege, and for some reason this ap-
pears to have caused some surprise,
as though any booze dispenser should
be expected to obey the laws.
The particular brewery for which
the Enterprise is spokesman felt that
it had grievance in that the product
of other breweries were admitted
to sale in the town after it had failed
on Imperial as its own possession, and
the Enterprise sought to punish Fer

SEATTLE, Sept. 20-Representa-
tive J. w. Bryan has filed a second
suit for $4,000 damages for alleged
libel against Alden J. Bletsen, editor
of the Seattle Times, and the Times
company. The libels are alleged to
have been committed are an attack
on the congressman in full page of
the Times following Bryan's attack
on Bletsen in a speech in congress.
Among the alleged libelous references,
according to the complaint, are ref
erences to him as "The Renegade

Cur Infamous person." "Sneak and

tition was circulated for Fernald's S
recall from the office of city trustee
and police commissioner on the theory
that it did not look we'll for the police
commissioner of the town to be caught
violating the law, as alleged
There were very few people in I'm
perial who were disposed to defend
Fernald, but there were a good many
who hold that Fernald had just as
much right to share in the debauchery
Of the city as the brewery the Enter

did vote were very evenly divided
Fernald winning by vote Of 1877 to
154, the brewery dictation thereby be-
ing overthrown.
This is taken to be OF great interest
to the valley at large, for there was
grave menace to the county with the
brewery undertaking, through its
newspaper representative, to extend
its debauching influence to other
ltowns.

Princess Bridesmaids.

The five princesses who were brides
maids to Princess Victoria Luise when
she married Prince Ernest. Duke y
Cumberland, in May, represent, in
their youthfulness, charming selves.
three Of the greatest powers Of the
world and one very interesting Bal
kan country. Grand Duches Olga. the
! eldest Of the daughters Of the Rus
sian czar, is in her eighteenth year.
She is said to be Of intellectual ana
of a rather delicate constitution.
Princess Mary of England, whose real
name is Victoria Alexandra, was six
ten years old on April 25 last. She IS
third child, having two brothers
older and two younger than herself.
Princess Mary, as she is called, is
credited with all the good qualities Of
a charming English girl. The eldest
child of the Italian royal pair is a
girl, Yolanda, now just past her
twelfth birthday. Like her brother,
she "takes after" her Montenegrin
mother in sort of stately beauty.
/ The Rumanian monarchs are childless,
but the "heir designate" Prince Fred
inand, of Hohenzollern- -Sigmaringen,
has five children, the second Of whom.
Princess Elizabeth, now in her nine
teenth year, is always known as the
Rumanian princess. The only real
heiress apparent to the throne in this
bunch of attractive royal maidens is
the little Princess Juliana, of the
Netherlands. Her real name is Jul
lana Louise Emma Marie Wilhelmina,
and she was born April 80, 1909. She

passionate devotion of the Dutch peo-

A unique and interesting compaign
is being organized by the State Street
Christian church looking toward an
increase in the attendance of all the

well-filled houses of worship are the
best indication Of healthful moral
and social life in any city. They feel
that Ell Centro is now establishing its
reputation among the progressive cit
les Of Southern California, and that
its good people should see to it that
the church life should be set on the
high plane it deserves.

been set apart as "Home Coming

City Trustees On
Street Cleaning

The city trustees are considering
the question of street sweeping ma
chine, and are in quandary whether
to get suction sweeper at cost of
about $4,000 or an old fashioned
sweeper to pile the dirt in the gutter.
While the former is more expensive,
it is questionable if the saving in
operation would not make it the best
investment.
There has been some talk of an
automobile sweeper, but they cost
about $4,000, and it is not thought
the city can afford it.
The accumulation of dirt on the
paved streets is SO great that it
seems necessary to take prompt ac-
tion in the matter.
