tax collector of Imperial Irrigation
District. In justice to myself, I wish
to state that for six years I have been
in the real estate business in Ell Cen
tro, and consequently have consider
able knowledge of real estate values.
Previous to coming here I was in
the mercantile business for several
years, and believe l have clerical abil-
ity to enable me to perform the duties
of the office which | solicit.

Refugees From Syria.
(By w. T. Massey)

Cairo, Feb. Refugees from
Syria continue to arrive by the Unit
ed States cruiser Tennessee, which is
doing humanitarian work in convey
ing the people who are likely to be
prosecuted by the Ottomans to Alex
andria, where the relief committees are
striving to the utmost to alleviate their
sufferings.
Refugees arriving today bring re-
irorts of perils to the Zionist move
ment in Palestine. They say Adm
Bey, cousin of Enver Pasha, late gov
ernor of Jaffa and now on the staff
of the Turkish army, has sworn to
cxterminate the Zionist organization
in Palestine.
Many cases of starvation have oc-
Cured in Jaffa and Jerusalem. Many
of the prominent Jews in Judea have
been sent to Damascus.
All persons arriving from Syria
agree that the differences between the
German and Turkish officers have
become still more acute. Both classes
constantly indulge in recriminations
and Djemal Pasha, the nominal gen
eralissimo of the Turkish forces, and
the German commander of Jerusalem
are no exception to the rule.

"Mr. J. A. McRae, being first duly
sworn, deposes and says:
"That he is the manager of the

Abstract and Title Company, located
in the City of Ell Centre, and that, be-
ing employed in such capacity, he al
most daily has occasion to look over
the records in the office of the as
SCISSOR and collector of the Imperial
Irrigation District:
That he knows as a matter of fact
that Clark Booher, who is the present
incumbent, has always kept the daily
reports of the transfers of real prop
erty of the county recorders office
posted on the books in the assessors
office of the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict.
Further that it is not true that a
large part of the land in Imperial
Irrigation District is assessed to un-
known owners, and that any land
which is now assessed to unknown
owners on the records of the Impe-
rial Irrigation District is land which.
for some reason or other, does not
show owners in the county recorders

Further, that he considers the con-
dition of the records of the assessor

the property records of any county
with which he has ever come in con
tact.
