A Big Saving.

A well-organized and properly
conducted Commercial Club can
be made to pay actual dividends,
not to mention its wonderful ef-
feet in unifying the citizens and
business men of a town in effort
towards retaining and charging
the trade of their territory, and
of working together harmonious
ly toward upbuilding the COM
munity in other ways.
Ottawa, Kansas has proven
that the above is true and has
even gone so far as to make its
Commercial Club a countrywide
affair under the name of the
Franklin County Merchants AS
sociation. In the first six months
of its existence it effected a di-
rect saving to the merchants OF
81, 200 and at the same time act
ually increased business at large.
The magnet which has drawn
to the Ottawa club a large mem
bership End greatly increased its
usefulness is the credit-rating
feature. in the Office of the
secretary theEs are rating cards
for 1900 of the people of Frank
lin county and the system has
now reached a stage when the
rating Of any man whose name
is not already on the cards can
be quickly learned. Gathering
these ratings is the work of the
secretary. 1t shows whether the
man is prompt, slow or absolute
ly no good in paying his bills.

When a man applies for credit
the first time a merchant merely
looks up his rating. If it is
good he let's him have the mer-
chandise. If 1t Is bad he refuses
him. Having this credit rating
available saves 4 merchant from
giving merchandise to those who
will not pay and also from re-
fusing credit to those who would
be profitable customers. By
gaining one good account or
avoiding one bad one 4 merchant
makes more than his annual
membership fee.
Donations to charity and phil
anthropy are also handled by the
secretary, or a committee, in 4

has a fund for such purposes. If

rotary and the merchants are

SaysMaj: Gen. Wood, Army
Chief of Staff.
A SHORTAGE OF AMMUNITION
Also Announced = Declares
Military is Unprepared
For Real War.
URGES A ZIG APPROPRIATION

Washington. Jan. O,5-Explaining
that his judgment was not influence
ed by the Mexican situation, Mai.
Gen. Wood, chief of staff of the
army, has advised committees of
Congress that it should appropriate
$3,0O0.O00 for field guns and ammu-
milton for the regular army and 49,
100000 for the militia. -
IF you sent out troops into war
as they are now, without guns or
ammunition, it would be absolute
slaughter the General told the
House Military Committee. III
called into the field suddenly, we
should have to go with a very small
allowance of ammunition, even for
the guns in the hands of the troops,
and we should have neither guns
nor ammunition enough for our field
artillery forces"
Gen. Wood, in written state
ment, said:
I'VE have neither guns nor am
munition sufficient to give any Gen
eral commanding an army in the
field any assurance of success if at
tackled by an army of equal size
which is supplied with its proper
quota of field artillery.
1T is my belief that no modern
war between first-class powers will
last for one year. and unless pri-
vate manufacturers are now encour-
aged to manufacture ammunition
for our guns, after war is declared
they will not be in a condition to do
so until after the war is finished;
and the supply of ammunition dur
ing the war will be limited to what
the arsenals can turn out. At pres
ent this is about 800 rounds a day,
running three shifts, and this am
munition, under ordinary battle con-
ditions, would be fired by eighty
guns in one day of battle. IL guns
are not supplied on the battlefield
with the ammunition which they
can be reasonably expected to use,
they are not efficient, and when guns
have exhausted the ammunition sup
piled, they are worse than junk, for
they must be protected by other
troops.
1.-THE War Department believes af-
ter extended study that in case OF
war with first-class power an army
of 100000 men will be needed to
give this country any chance of sue
cess against invasion, and that this
force will be needed at once. To
make it efficient 1t must be given its
proper quota of field artillery. To
do this this artillery must be on
hand, for it cannot be supplied after
war is declared. A municipality
might as we'll talk about its fire
hose after. the confiagration has
started. A fire department. without
its proper equipment is worthless,
irrespective of the number of men 1t
has; and so would your armies be

WHY THE RESULT?

wv The result of the election is not the Press would
have it. and not such this journal believes to be for the
best interest of Imperial county, but we are all licensed
to have our own opinions and the opinions of the majority
must prevail.
The result is due to number of causes The political
machine which several years ago set up In Imperial
was working to perfection and almost the whole town
of Imperial supported it, while in FL Centric there were
personal grievances against the local candidates which
led to their slaughter at home.
Another big element in the campaign was the money
depression and it argued against Judge Cole that
had the control of the California Development Company
remained in the home court the S46000 in the hands
of the receiver would be deposit in the valley and be
available for use here.
But the most injurious factor in the election the
policy of the Progress Several weeks ago A. w. Med
hurst former publisher of the Free Lance, made
political manager of the Progress carry out project
to assess the candidates S100 each number of
didates submitted this eXtoron and the activity of
Medhurst in behalf of those who paid the S100 put him
in the false light of managing their campaigns and when
at the last hour Of the contest there were published at
tackS on the opposition there reactOnary effect
and scores of turned from the candidates Med
hurst was supporting through the Progress.
AS to the newly elected district attorney, Gaen
Nichols whose office most strenuousy contested the
Press has had fears of the outcome of his election He
has pledged himself, however, to enforce the antquor
laws, and there strong temperance people IN the
county who have confidence that he will do and to the
extent that he eorces the law the Press will cooperate
with him.
The newly elected superior court Judge H. W. Brew
cr gentleman of clean personality, and while he was
not the choice of the Press this journal has confidence
that he will do his part faithfully and to the full of his
ability. i
The new superintendent of schools is a young man
who will bring much vitality into school affairs and the

May Remain on Coast.

San Francisco, Aug. 26.-The ma
rlne correspondent at Tatoosh, Wash.
Of the San Francisco chamber of com.
merce, telegraphs that the japanese
cruiser Idzumo, which left here las
Saturday, passed into the straits ol
Juan oe Fuca early today, apparently
bound for the Canadian naval base a,
Esquimalt.
Iae appearance of the Idzumo in
northern waters was a distinct sur.
prise, and not even speculative ex.
plantations were forthcoming.
1t has been supposed that the Id.
zumo would convoy the Shinyo Maru
which sailed yesterday for Japan. A
repo.t that the two vessels Joined
company last night is now shown to
have been an error.
Apparently the Idzumo will now use
Esqnimalt for a base, and will con-
tlnue TO operate on the Canadian and
American Pacific coasts, as a protec-
tion for British, japanese and French
shipping.
