His Majesty-above "the majesty OF

slept in a coal camp last Monday
night There was no where else for
His Majesty to sleep.
His Majesty also late dinner in the
miners boarding house" There was
no other place in which he could eat
The king of Colorado, and of other
domains, also condescended to talk

thing to say to them. He did. His
Rulership said:

ness. Anybody from inside the camp

living digging coal out of the ground
unless there was capital to buy these
mules and lay the tracks and provide
the market for the coal. We are part
ners, that's what we are, and | want
to do business with you on that prin-
ciple"
Then Rockefeller turned to leave
"You are not as bad as you are
painted to be-" remarked one of the
miners, as he picked up his pick and
went back to his toll.
He isn't, that. He might have
knocked them over the bone-case that
serves them in the place of brains,
instead of handing them the gaff.
SO long as there are two-legged
work mules who will accept bull
instead of justice, Rockefeller is sure
right in skinning the hide off of them
Justice and industrial democracy were
never intended for cattle, whether
biped or quadruped. Slaves, like
poets, were born, not made. Lincoln

THIRD ESCAPED
PRISONER TAKEN

The third of the ; prisoners who
escaped Tuesday night from the coun-
ty Jail, in daring break for liberty,
was captured Sunday afternoon at
DiXieland by Sheriff Applestill and
Deputy Sheriff Kendrck. He is
George Carter, serving a Jail sentence
on conviction of violation of the state
drug law.
Saturday Sheriff Applestill received
word that a man answering Carriers
description had passed through See
ley.
He took up the chase, but was un-
able to trace the suspect further than
that point, as no one answering the
description given from Seeley had
been seen at DiXieland.
Sheriff Applestill and Deputy Sher-
iff Kendrick spent Sunday searching
through the country in the vicinity Of
Dixieland and then took up the hunt
at Coyote Wells.
Carter was found in deserted
building, sleeping soundly. The door
was locked on the inside and the sher-
iff was forced to punch in the win
dow to awaken the fugitive by whack-
ing him on the soles of the feet with
the larrel of a revolver.
81 never had such an awakening,
Carter told the officers as he was
being whisked rapidly back to the
county Jail. 81 thought it was all a
dream"

FISH AT MORENA
DYING BY SCORE

Fish at Morena Dam are still re
ported to be dying by scores. The
The whole surface Of the water is Gov
cred with dead fish and the dam, which
has hitherto been a popular destina
ton for automobilists, is being
Stunned.
Two theories to account for what is
causing the death of the fish have
been advanced, although just what the
cause is has not been determined
Decayng vegetation at the bottom
of the dam, driving the fish to the sur
face OF the water, where they were
killed by the rays of the sun, is as
signed as one reason. Employees about
the dam assert that there is 20 degrees
difference between the water on the
surface and that further down.
Decaying vegetation that is poison
ing the fish is advanced as another
reason.
At any rate, the fish are dying at
such a rate that the dam threatens
to be speedily depopulated of speci-
mems of the finny tribe and unless San
Diego authorities succeed in determin-
ing the cause and removing it, valley
anglers will have to seek their favo-
rite sport elsewhere.

kEYHOLE PLUGGING
MYSTERY SOLVED

For several weeks, recently, the
plugging Of keyholes in locks about
the S. p. depot has puzzed railroad
employees. All of the keyholes were
plugged in exactly the same manner,
with wedge of lead. The purpose
of The vandal in stuffing the key
holes only served to deepen the mys-
terry.
The solution to the plugged locks
was revealed one morning when one
of the railroad employees investigated
a series of shots he had heard near
the depot and found a boy, armed
with a revolver of generous dimen-
sions, taking careful aim at a lock
with the keyhole as the bullseye.
The boy gave the name of Tobert
r. Ray, Probation Officer Swanson
said.
Later developments resulted in the
issuance Of a warrant for his arrest
and yesterday he was booked on the
county jail register as ''incorrigible."
The disposition of the case will prob
ably be largely determined by Proba-
ton Officer A w Swanson.
The boy has defied his parents and
recently, in a fit of anger, threatened
to shoot his step-father, according to
the probation officer.

WILL EMBARGO ON
COTTON BUILD UP
OR LOWER MARX EFT?

What effect is the embargo on cot
ton declared by the Allies last Friday
gong to have on the cotton market?
Opinion differ Some believe that it
Is going to lower the price, while
Other believe that other factors will
ontes in. which VIII build up, if the
embalro results in lowering the mar
ket
Here are the opinions of some of
thosa Who are associated with the cot
ton industry.
Dan " West, q North End ranch
er has followed the cotton crop of
the United States closely lie believes
IN cotton and the embargo declared
~ the Allies has not discouraged him.
Here is what he says: AS far as
l can aee, the declaration OF cotton as
contraband by the Allies has not af-
fected the market at all.
Il believe the destruction of mil
hon bales by the floods at Galveston,
If that report Is true, viii prove an
offset to the embargo declaration.
1T is estimated that the 100000
bales of cotton will be produced j
the coming crop in the South, but tn
destruction Of 100000 bales is goi
to ,eave only 100000 bales.
The whole Mississippi Valley :.
practically inundated which Will prob
ably result in further reducing the
crop.
Il think the United States will be
able to consume more cotton this year
than has ever been consumed in the
country before Factories for the
manufacture of guncotton have been
established and they are going to con-
sumo tremendous amounts of cotton.
The United States is not going to be
able to get guncotton explosives from
foreign nations and the var depart
ment will be forced to fall back upon
the resources at hand and manufac-
ture the produce at home.
Il understands cents is being of
fered IN the valley on the new crop,
estimated on midding cotton, and,
Judging from New York quotations on
the future crop, the price has not beel
affected greatly.
"1he future quotation for October
+ is 9.32; in December, 9.62; in January,
9.72, and in May, 1920"
"What is the effect of the embargo
on cotton by the Allies going to be on
the market? 1t has already been
found to affect it adversely"
That is the opinion expressed at the
Imperial Valley Long Staple Cotton
Growers Association office this morn
ing
"While it is affecting the price
adversely now, there are a number of
other points, of course, that may put
it up. Seven or eight million bales
has been the annual export to Europe,
but the embargo has now cut off all
export.
Last year the United States used
les than 70O00OO bales in home con-
sumption and this year it is not going

any more.

matter has been taken up in this

mon appeared before the Board of

matter Mr. Van Emmon stated to
the board that the Indian men were
employed on many of the ranches
and associated more or less with the

employed as domestics at many of the

in many instances were playmates OF
the white children. Under these con-
ditions he believed that no bad re-
suits would come II the Indian chill

The county commissioners held
that the question of admitting In
