tity 20 the gins Of the valley speaks
of the great harvest which is now just
opening
No one has yet been able to speak
with any degree of certainty regarding
the shrinkage of the crop from
drought, for there are fields which
are a total loss and others in which
the damage is very slight.
But in spite Of the heavy loss that
as been sustained. the large acreage
is assurance that great quantity of
cotton will be ginned this year, and
the price will be high.
The weather of the last few days
has been so delightful that the harvest
has been begun early, it usually being
found difficult to get pickers in Aug
ust, while this year the ginnings Of
this month will be quite heavy.
There are a good many fields in
which the drought caused the squares
to fall, and it will be October before
the plants can bring forward new
crop, but it is expected that there
will be a steady flow OF cotton to the
gins from this time forward for seven

the valley within two years and in
which he expressed his views regard
ing the president and engineer of the
district in ways the most emphatic,
hut which would be little out Of
place in print
General Marshal, however. realized
the condition to which neglect of the
main canal and bad engineering had
brought the valley, and he was anxious
to do what could be done to prevent
the farmers suffering the penalty Of
the incompetency Of their officials,
and through his aid eventually the
permission was obtained for the weir.
In view of what he saw of the
opinion of Washington regarding the
conditions of the valley and regard
ing river control, Mr. Brown returned
home more than ever convinced of the
recessity for immediate steps TO get
the district management in different

Food Prices Ayiate.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Despite the
fact that the cost Of living has gone
up approximately 10 per cent since
the outbreak Of the European war,
the cost Of subsistence in the navy has
three-quarters of a cent per
man this year, as compared with the
fiscal year Of 1914.
A report handed to Secretary
Daniels by Paymaster General Nc
Cowan states that a net saving OF
. bout 100000 is indicated compared
with the 1914 figure, or saving Of
close TO half a million dollars if the
10 per cent increase in the cost Of food

Republicans of California are deter
mined to elect as senator from this
state either a Republican or Demo-
crat. Johnson is neither. We are
tired of this non-partisan business.
We have loyal Democrat as far pref

And yet this charter member Of the

cers at non-partisanship, went out
for the Democratic as well as the Re-
publican nomination, succeeded in get
ting it and appeared on the 1914 bal
Hot as the Democratic and Republican
nominee for the office Of secretary OF
state which he holds now. And it i.
'an office which he holds, it may be re-
marked, under peculiar conditions. In
iorder to secure an official bond, Jor-

would handle no moneys, and Frank

millionaire angels, Willis II. Booth,
whose campaign manager he is and
William II. Crocker, financially fixed
to run around the state, campaigning
in behalf Of Booth for the Republican

And the latest way in which this
Democratic-Republican nominee in
1914 has campaigned, has been to
shake figurative fist in Hughes face
and tell him, if he valued old-time Re
publican votes, not TO notice Governor
johnson or any of the Progressives
And there isn't anything left to con-

out loud:

had broken into several houses
to obtain provisions, and had al

TOLEDO 13; NEWPORT o

The football game between
Toledo and Newport played on
the local gridiron, last Sunday,
proved surprise to everyone,
and demonstrated that pep"
counts for more than beef" in
a football game. The Newport
ers outweighed the locals con-
siderable, still they were out
played in all departments of the
game.
The game started off with To-
ledo keeling to Newport, and
the first few downs the heavy
Newport team ploughed through
Toledo's line for big gains, and
! it looked like an easy victory for
the Resorters. When Toledo got
the ball, however, they sur
iprised their most optimistic ad-
mirers by the way they tore
through the Newport line for
yardage. Carson, Mcmillan, AL
tree and Sturdevant seemed to
never tire, and made good sub
stantial gains on almost every
down. "Cannon-Ball" proved
that he was well named, as a real
cannon-ball could not have
wrought much more havoc.
Sturdevant and Carson pulled off
a double pass that mystified
their opponents and netted a big
gain. A foreward pass, Carson
to Ofstedahl, gained about twen-
ty yards and paved the way for
the first touchdown. The locals
showed the bali over the Newport
goal line four times, but twice it
was brought back for off-side
playing, and the Toledo goal line
never was in danger. Mcmillan
and Carson did the punting for
Toledo and got their punts off in
better shape than did Coffield
who did the punting for New
port. Gem for Newport tore off
a long end run that netted con-
siderable yardage, and did some
good work tacklilg. Fogarty
and Coflield each had their heads
hurt, and Mcmillan received a
sprained ancle. Miller, and Belt
and Dougherty also put up a
good game for Newport. To-
lledo's line held well and the ends
and tackles did good work.
