TITLE TO IMPERIAL VALLEY
ACRES TO BE SETTLED

WASHINGTON, Sept. millions Of
dollars worth of lands in the Imperial
valley of California that were with
held long ago by the reclamation SER
vice, involving many claims of squat
ters, are to be adjusted soon by the in
terror department.
The claimants asserted that in many
instances they were led by what they
regarded as assurances from depart
ment officials to believe that if they
held on long enough the land would
become theirs.
Government agents have investi-
gated these claims, and Commissioners
Tallman of the general land Office is
reviewing the evidence.
He will shortly report to Secretary
Lane, and it is understood that it will
show that while in a number of cases
the squatters actually improved the
lands, there were fewer instances of
that kind than were claimed.

FIRES RAGING IN
TWO TIMBER STATES

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. with
more than thirty separate forest fires
burning in Oregon and southern parts
of Washington, citizens of LaGrande,
Ore, have appealed to Governor
Withycombe of Oregon, asking him to
place a temporary ban on hunting.
The menacing timber fires have bro
ken out in a dozen places in Union
and Wallowa counties, Oregon, and
by some it is believed hunters are re-
sponsible.
From the LaGrande district, in East
ern Oregon, the report comes that of a
dozen fires only one is under control
there. An area six miles long has
been burned over on the Union county
side of the Wallowa river.
Of the fires in the Portland district
only four are serious, one at the head
waters of the White Salmon river, one
in Crater national forest near Butte
falls, and at Shellrock creek and the
Salmon riyer in the Mount Hood dis
trict.
The Butte fire, which is in southern
Oregon, is threatening. III

$50, 100000 IN CITRUS FRUITS
MARKETED IN YEAR

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 7.-California
marketed 1853 carloads of citrus
fruits, worth more than $30,000,OO0, in
the fiscal year just closed, according
to report made by G. Harold Powell,
general manager of the California
Fruit Growers exchange.
While the crop was larger this year
than in the 1913-1914 season, gen
orally adverse conditions encountered
throughout the country proved a set
back to the gorwers. To improve mar
keting conditions and create larger
demand for California oranges and
lemons, the exchange, which repre-
sents 621A per cent of the growers of
the state, in the coming season will
wage great advertising campaign to
educate the consumers in the value
and various uses to which oranges and
lemons may be put.

QUARANTINE ORDERED TO
keep OUT fruit FLY PEST
MEDITERRANEAN FRUIT FLY is
MOST FEARED OF CITRUS PESTS
Warning Given by Chief EntomoIogist
of United States Department Of
Agriculture Is Heeded-VigiI
Will Be RedoubIed

SACRAMENTO, Sept. Warning
given by Dr. L. O. Howard, chief ento-
mologist of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, that more rigid
quarantine against Hawaiian horticul-
|tural products must be imposed to keep
out the much feared Mediterranean
fly, has been needed.
While the federal and state quaran-
tine laws have been strictly enforced
at all California ports for several years,
it is understood that the vigil is to be
redoubled.
1t is possible also that the embargo
that has been placed on certain Ha-
waiian fruits and plants may be ex-
tended to others, with view to keep
ing them out of this state altogether.
The reason given for this vigilance
is the fact that the Mediterranean
fruit fly, scientifically known as the
Ceratitis Capitata, is the most feared
of pests that threaten citrus fruits.
Through the efforts of the federal
and state governments and the Citrus
Protective league, the dangerous fruit
fly has been kept clear of California
citrus groves. Every possible source
of danger, and particularly exports
from Hawaii, where the fly is known
to exist, have been watched with the
greatest of care.
The quarantine now in force abso-
lutely prohibits the Importation of the
hosts of the Mediterranean fruit fly.
AS for plants or fruits that may be
shipped from Hawaii, they are admit
ted only after being carefully inspect
ed.
AS double guard against an in
vasion by the pest, horticultural ex-
perts visit every ship that arrives in
Los Angeles, San Francisco or San
Diego from Hawaii and inspect even
the hand baggage Of passengers,
So far as is known, there have been
no artificial means devised for combat
ing the fly, once it gains foothold in
any territory.
The fly itself works from the inside
of the fruit, and products that may
have every outward appearance of be-
ing firm and good may have the inte-
rior structure almost entirely de-
stroyed.
Being free of the flies and having
the barriers up, California citrus fruit
growers have little to fear, but, never
theless, will not relax their vigil to
keep their groves free from the enemy.

Canal Demonstrates Utlity

WASHINGTON, Sept. Proof that
the entire present main American bat
tleship fleet, made up of four divisions
of five ships each, and a flagship,
total of twenty-one, could be passed
through the Panama canal in one day
has been afforded by the naval acad-
emy practice squadron.
The squadron, composed of the bat
tleships Missouri, Ohio and Wiscon-
sin, the largest warships which have
so far used the canal, were put through
the locks at Pedro Miguel and Mira
flores, the Missouri and Ohio stimuli
taneously in parallel, with the Wiscon-
sin directly in the rear.
The towing locomotives had such
perfect control of the ships that it was
perceived that four vessels of even
larger size could be handled in the
locks at the same time, two in each
of the duplicate chambers.
500 Americans in English Army
WASHINGTON, Sept. More than
500 American boys under eighteen

Most of these boys went to Canada
and misrepresented their ages to re-
cruiting officers.
Peter Dougal, of Lambert, Mimi,
after having been discharged once
upon the application of the state de-
partment, escaped from his parents
and re-enliSted.
He was released again, only to take
passage on the Arabic, and escaped
death when that liner was sunk by
submarine
The Walsh twins, of Boston, though
only fifteen years old, also managed to
enlist twice, and the last time were
found on Salisbury plain, just about to
be embarked for France.

PARASITIC MORAL SQUAD. -
What do you think of a man who lives
off the earnings of a wOman's body?
Does not contempt express it mildly?
And yet we have in our midst a group
of men, the moral squad, who are
making their living by employing
every seductive method known to
make women immoral Now, the
parasite and the moral inspector are
alike, because both make their liV-
ing off Of the unfortunate women.
Only the moral inspectors get
theirs in a roundabout way under
the false pretense that they are rid
ding the city of vice. The fact that
they, through the filming system, have
collected $4,000 from the unfOrtun-
ate women Of Chicago does not prove
that they have accomplished any
thing in cleaning up Chicago. 1t only
proves that they have taken this
money away from the fallen women;
it means that these women will have
to sell little more; be a little more
ingenious in their methods of sell
ing; save up for their next arrest
nothing more.
A prostitute is like a dope fiend.
You may make it harder for her to
prostitute herself, but, believe me,
she gets there just the same. And,
say, what is the matter with the
shelter house proposition? Would it
not be a splendid idea to invest some
Of that $4,000 that the austere group
of moral inspectors have collected
from the fallen women to give them
a home, whereby some Of these girls
who lead a joyless and disgracefuI
existence may become rehabilitated

Mobilization Of the dope fiend! Why

~THINKING.-YOUr remark that we
get inspiration from what others
think is true. Most of us never think
at all unless some one stirs us up by
trying to show us where we are
wrong. But is it true that we should
never get to think alike? Are there
not some things that concern the
welfare of all, about which enough of
us must come to an agreement to
enable us to do the things?
think that it is because we do not
think, but allow ourselves to be
moved by prejudice, that the progress
of civilization is retarded.
Henry George said that he was not
so much concerned about mems vOt-
ing as he was about how they were
thinking. If we think right we will
vote right. But in thinking as well
as in everything else that we do, in
order to get right we must keep on
trying.
We must learn to think by keeping
at it, and so it is not safe for us to
accept conclusion upon the author
ity Of another person.
Every opinion should be tested by
our own knowledge and power of rea-
soning before we assent or dissent
as to its validity. There seems to be
nothing in the present election to
which we can apply the test of rea-
son. Appeals are made solely to par
ty and religious prejudice. Which
ever way we vote we are likely to be
disappointed with resUlts.-Geo. V.
