Eastern shippers took approximately
one-third hog receipts at Chicago last
week. This was largely responsible for
the 30c advance. While the trade real
ICES that present prices are mainly due
to broad shipping demand, there Is little,
| reason to apprehend serious contraction
Of that outlet, as eastern hogs have
been closely garnered. The recent half
dollar advance may have the effect Of
reassuring growers and prompting them
to give growing hogs more effective
corncrib cross. 1t Is foregone con-
clusion, however, that what happened
in 1913 will be reversed this year and
that the big run will reach market early
at deficient weight. The real scarcity is
promised when nearby hogs have dis
appeared and the trade runs into the
season when western Iowa, region
that has been devastated by cholera, IL
the principal supply source.
1t was the impression Of corn traders
last night that the market has run into
liquidating period for the first time in
months and that lower prices are to be
! made unless there Is something to
check the downward course. At 66x0
66Ac for May yesterday prices were
the lowest since Aug. /, when they
touched 65Ac. The trade appears to be
in O more demoralized state than has
been known in years, due to the over
bulling on the short crop during the
fall and to the increasing imports Of
Argentine corn in the east and at gulf
ports. 1t has made the corn market a
worlds proposition like wheat, while

WHITE SETTLERS RENT
FROM YUMA INDIANS

Yuma, Ariz., Jan. 5-The Indian
allotments are now being rented by
the white settlers on the Yuma reser-
walton for the FIRST time in the history
Of the reservation. Only the portions
belonging to school children, the wo-
men and old men are rented out.
Many hundreds of acres of rich
fertile lands can now be obtained at
a nominal rent and the pay given for
the improving.
Thousands Of cattle are being pas
tured on the green alfalfa fields near
Yuma. These cattle have been ship
ped in from Mexico and from adjoin-
ing states for winter feeding. AS a
consequence the farmers are reaping
harvest from waste stubble fields
and the winter alfalfa that is not
heavy enough to harvest, but which
makes excellent pasturage.

COLLIER COMPANY Is
COMING TO Ell CENTRIC

San Diego Union: January the D..
C. Collier Company, of which c. A.
Richardson is the successor, opened a
branch office at Ell Centre in the new
building recently built by G. c. Arm
stead, opposite Hotel Oregon.
Growing interdependence of land
values in the back country and in
San Diego, and increasing mutual
faith in the great future of Imperial
valley and San Diego development by
working together, has made it ad
visable for this company to open
branch offices in the valley and en-
ploy competent men there to look
after the company's business in that
section. The first office is being es-
tablished at Ell Centre and will be
under the management of George w.
Heston, with G. W. Mosher in charge
of the ranch department at Ell Cen
tro and John l, Hinkle handling the
San Diego end of the Imperial val
ley department. In the near future
offices will be opened in all the prin-
cipal towns of the valley.
D. c. Collier & Co. is one Of the
largest and most reliable realty firms
on the Pacific coast and will figure
in some of the most important land
transactions in Imperial valley. Large
deals aggregating several hundred
thousand dollars are now pending.
Besides Imperial valley lands San
Diego business property, residence
property and subdivisions including
Point Iona and Allen Terrace, are
real estate lines the company is &C.

RECOMMEND CONSTABULARY
TO KEEP OUT IMMIGRANTS

Washington, Jan. 6-Positive rec
ommendation will be made by the Blu
reau of immigration for the further
restriction of certain kinds of oriental
immigration.
A. Caminetti. Commissioner-Gener-
al of Immigration, returned today to
Washington from an extended official
trip to immigration stations on the
Pacific coast. He plunged at once
into the preparation of his annual re-
port, which will submit some i'm
portant recommendations, particular
" with regard to the tide of oriental
immigration that is tending in the
direction of the United States.
ut is not my purpose" he said to-
day, ito direct my recommendations
at any particular people, but it is
manifest that many orientals are get
ting into this country unlawfully.
This is particularly true of the So
called students. who ostensibly come
to this country to obtain an educa-
ton. Many of these, l am salts
fled, are merely laborers, who come
here in the guise of students. Pro-
posed regulations and laws will be
drafted in an effort to restrict this
sort of immigration.
ION the Pacific coast. the admis-
sion to the country of HinduS has
become a serious problem. l am hay
ing a search made of our records now
to ascertain how many of these peo-
pie are in the United States legally.
| am convinced that scores, perhaps
hundreds, have gotten in Surreptl-
tiously and have no lawful right here.
Some of them have come across the
Mexican or Canadian border, where
hitherto it has been impossible en-
tirely to prevent smuggling. This
smuggling applies not only to un-
desirable persons. but to opium and
to other articles. | expect to rec
ommend that provisions be made for
a more rigid patrol of both borders
than we ever have had
Commissioner Caminetti probably
will recommend that an extensive
patrol force be established on the
northern border from the Cascade
Mountains to the ocean and on the
southern border from Arizona to the
sea. 1t will be his effort to coop
crate with the customs service on
both borders, not only to prevent the
smuggling of immigrants, but to
keep out opium.

Supreme Court
Is Speeding Up

(By United Press Associations
Washington, Jan. 5.-Meeting for
its first session since December y,
the supreme court of the United
States today almost eQualed its rec
ord for the number of opinions hand
ed down in one day Chief Justice
White is using every effort to clear
the docket and the court "speeded up"
on its judgments.
Argument beginning today is sched-
uled in the contempt cases against
President Samuel Gompers, Vice
President John Mitchell and Secretary
Frank Morrison, of the American
Federation of Labor. This is the sec
ond time this famous bit of litigation
has been before the supreme court.
1t grows out of contempt proceed
ings instituted by Justice Daniel Thew
Wright of the District of Columbia
supreme court because Of alleged VIC
lation of the labor leaders of that
courts order forbidding a cOntlnu-
anee of boycott against the Buck
Stove and Range Company of st.
Louis. Wright found the defendants
guilty and sentenced Gompers to
twelve months in Jail Mitchell to six
and Morrison to three. The supreme
court rejected this finding on purely
technical grounds, but granted that
the district supreme court had the
right to reframe the contempt
charges. This Judge Wright imme-
diately did, appointing committee
of prosecutors. The labor leaders
were again found guilty. They APP
pealed direct to the United States
supreme court.
Another case scheduled for early
hearing-probably Wednesday - was
that of the right of the government
to remove George G. Henry of New
York to Washington for trial on con-
tempt charges. Henry, who is mem
Der of Wall street stock brokerage
firm, refused to answer questions
asked him by the Pujo money trust
investigating committee concerning
who profted by deal in California
Petroleum Company stock. He was
indicted by local grand jury for con-
tempt.

MEAT IMPORTS ARE
INCREASING RAPIDLY

! Washington, Jan. 5-The placing of
! beef on the tariff free list has result
ed in a vast increase in the importa-
! ton of foreign beef and meat pro-
ducts. During October and November
the Department of Agriculture report
ed today, 100000 pounds of meat
and its products were brought from
abroad This is more than triple the
amount imported for the whole of
1912.
The foreign beef and meat prod
ucts are being rigidly inspected by
the agents of the Bureau of Animal
Industry, who, during the two months,
I condemned 1890 pounds.
Nearly half of the imports, or
/ 100000 pounds, came from Canada.
Argentine supplied 100000 pounds,
Australia 100000 and Uruguay
$4,000.
During the two months 100000
head of cattle from Canada and Mex
. leo were lIlpOIleu
Treasury officials were inclined to
believe tonight that the Underwood
Simmons tariff act will produce sew
eral millions more revenue annually
that had been estimated by tariff eX-
perts. The treasury expected to see
revenues fall off about S45,OO0,0OO a
year, but reports for the first two
months under the new law have led
to the belief that this estimate is ex-
/ cessive.
Some officials predicted the falling
off would not amount to more than
S36,000,000 a year, which would give
the government 100000 more than
was counted upon for 1914. Customs
revenue fell off more than $4,000,000
during November, but for December
figures just out show the decrease
over December, 1912, was only about
$2,700,000. Although Christmas bus
over November this year it was point
ed out the normal decrease from now
on will run about $3,O0O,O0O monthly.
The total treasury disbursements
for December amounted to $61 1884,
049, compared with $62,698,269 for
December, 1912, but the total excess
Of disbursements over receipts in De-
cember was nearly 100000 greater
than in November.
The net balance in the treasury gen
eral fund on December 81 was SILL
54,317, and the grand total of assets
in the treasury $2,038, 864,977.

to show that the chances are four out

Wilson Will Make
Full Plans Public

Washington, Jan. 5-Senator Sim
mons. chairman of the committee on
finance. has bolstered with difficulty
President Wilson's suggestion that
there is to be no drastic antitrust
LEGISLATION this winter. There Is q
fear apparent among Democrats in
Washington that the country will fail
to differentiate between the unfolding
of a comprehensive plan of legislation
and the intention of the administration
and the majority in congress, as 1t con-
Germs the immediate passage Of bills
which might cause business unrest.
AS the matter stands it seems to
be the intention of Mr.. Wilson to
outline his entire scheme of anti
trust legislation, coupling it with an
intimation that action thereon will
neither be harsh nor hasty. More
over, it seems to be pretty well un-
derstood that the plan which will
be formulated will not carry the
marks of terror" which a few
months ago It was supposeu we're
to be imprinted thereon.
Congress, therefore, probably will
not sanction any severe legislation of
an antitrust nature this winter. Both
houses, however. will have plenty to
do with measures which, while they
are of less seeming Importance than
antitrust bills, are nevertheless mat
tiers of considerable moment TO the
general public. Members of congress
already are talking about an early
adjournment, and if the talk later shall
Imperial Valley press., 1914-01-05

prove to be justified the intervening
months will be busy.
1t is expected that the Adamson
resolution, recently introduced, will
start anew the fight over the Panama
canal tolls question which stirred up
congress a year ago.
Congress will have warm and
perhaps long debate on the Alaska
railroad bill. The nti-government
ownership ranks have enough men,
bers in them to make a formidable
battle front,
Representative Booher of Missouri
some time ago introduced bill re-
stricting interstate commerce in
goods made by convicts. 1t is said
that the author of the measure has
received assurances that it will be
given the majority party's support
before adjournment. Then there is
the Burnett bill regulating the immi-
OIallOn OI dIlSIlS lllO lIiS = lIlNSN'
States.
The lobby investigation matter is
certain to come up before the house
not long after its reconvening. The
members will receive report from
the judiciary committee which may
lead to action of some kind in the
case of Representative James T. Nc
Dermott of Chicago, whose name was
mentioned so frequently when the in
vestigation was made following the
Mulhall lobby disclosure. The house
further may have something to say
or possibly to do, with the charges of
pernicious lobbying which were made
against some of the officers of the
National Association of Manufacture
ers.
