$4,000 Bales Was Crop
Of Cotton Last Season

On the Mexican side of the line the
acreage for the next season will re-
main about the same as last season,
but on the American side there will
be heavy reduction and the yield for
next year is estimated by r. G.. Go
rec, field man of the Oil and Cotton
Company, at 10000 bales.
Reports from the cotton mills are
that where they were running to go

are now running to 50 per cent.
Owing to the depression of the in
dustrial condition since the war began,
merchants all over the country have
been placing short orders and reducing
their stock, but the turn in the tide
has come, and the heavier orders are
stimulating affairs at the factories.
and they in turn are buying more free
liz OF raw cotton.
Imperial Valley press., 1915-04-12

1t is now certain that the Imperial
Valley (including Mexico) cotton crop
of the past year will almost or quite
reach $4,000 bales. The gins have
turned out about 49,500 bales, and
scattered through the fields there Is
still little yet to be ginned.
OF the $4,000 bales about half still
is in the hands of the growers, who
are now receiving S12 cents per pound
and are beginning to move it freely.

Webb-KenyOn Liquor Law To BE
Construed.

Preparations have been made for con-
sideration by the Supreme Court Of the
United States shortly after the Easter re-
cess of litigation involving the constitu-
tionality and Interpretation of the Webb
Kenyon liquor law, enacted by Congress
in 1918.
The "drys" contend that the Webb-Ken-
yon law has withdrawn from interstate
shipments Of intoxicating liquor consigned
to local option territory the protection pre-
viously afforded such shipments by the
commerce clause of the Federal Constitu-
ton. The "wets" declare the law was
merely aimed at "bootlegeing" and does
not withdraw the commerce clause pro-
lection from interstate shipments consigned
for personal use.
Express companies and railroad lines
are as much concerned over the proper
construction of the law as over the ques-
ton of validity. Liquor dealers through
out the country have gone into the courts
to compel carriers to accept shipments for
personal use" into dry territory.
In Kentucky the courts adopted the wet -
construction, and an express company, fore
seeing an alleged necessity of employing a
big force of inspectors and detectives to
ferret out the purpose Of each shipment,
appealed to the Supreme Court. 1t is this
case which will be argued after Easter.
Somewhat similar cases involving West
Virginia and North Carolina liquor laws
also are before the court.

Rule Affects Claims.

Claims aggregating $l4,000.000, many
of them growing out of damages in the
South by Federal troops during the Civil
War. will be thrown out of court il the
Court of Claims sustains an Interpretation
placed by the Department of Justice upon
provision Of an omnibus claims bill passed
by the last Congress.
Assistant Attorney General Thompson,
in charge of the cases, has notified coun-
sci for claimants and interested members
of Congress of the departments conten-
ton. and the point probably will be argued
before the court in the near future.
The department bases its position on
section 5 Of the new law, which provides
that hereafter the Court Of Claims shall not
have jurisdiction over any claim against
the United States government growing out
Of property damage, use Of stores and sup
plies or occupation of real estate by the
military and naval forces of the United
States during the war, or over ANY claim
now barred by the provisions of any law
Of the United States"
According to the departments interpre-
tation this nullifies the section of this
judicial code under which Congress has
referred to the Court of Claims hundreds
Of cases for report as to whether the
statute of limitations should be waived. A
decision will mot affect any of the elaine
for which appropriations already have been
made.
Pending the courts decision. the depart
ment has ordered its field agents to sus-
pend investigations Of all Of the cases in
volved.

Characteristic hospitality marked the dedi-
cation and an old-fashioned dinner was
one Of the features Of the program. The
exercises were in charge of Henry T. Scott
president of the Maryland Society of San
Francisco.
The Maryland Building is a reproduc-
ton Of Homewood, built by Charles Car
roll Of Carollton, one Of the Signers Of the
Declaration of Independence, and both its
exterior and interior have all the marks of
Colonial architecture.
The exercises were held in the after
noon, following luncheon which was at
tended by Admiral Howard, of the battle
ship Colorado. and his officers. The Ad-
miral is native Of Maryland. Commits
sioners Walter W. Preston, of Hartford

is rich in historical incidents, and it has
been the endeavor of the Maryland Com
mission to the Panama-Pacific Interna-
tional Exposition to construct and furnish
the Maryland Building so as to make it
representative Of the best type Of old
Maryland Colonial architecture.

many natural advantages, in its mild eli
mate, fertile soil, rich coal and mineral
deposits. and its unexcelled products of the
Chesapeake Bay, the home OF the oyster,
the canvasback duck and the diamond
back terrapin.
Maryland is not only rich in historical
traditions, but she has taken leading
part in the commercial and industrial work
of the nation. The Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad was the first steam railroad oper-
ated in the world. The first telegraph line
ever constructed for commercial purposes
was constructed between the city of Balti-
more and the city Of Washington.
THE first electric railroad ever operated
was operated in the suburbs of the city Of
Baltimore, and the first boat to pass through
the Panama Canal was the canal pilot boat
fremont. now named Cristobal, on August
8 and 4, 1914. and the first large steamer
to pass through the canal was named An
con, now named Shawnfut, and both we're
constructed by the Maryland Steel Com

Of Maryland, is one of the large cities Of
our country. 1t is great manufacturing,
commercial and shipping point. and by
reason Of its climate, excellent markets and
hospitable people, is one of the most de-
lightful residential cities in this country.
Maryland and California have much in
common. You with your magnificent city
of San Francisco. located on San Francisco

offered by this exposition may bring abou

commerce Of both States through the cana
may exceed our fondest expectations"
