Norway, according to Prof. Wilhelm

will bring an unnatural termination to
the war. Norwegfans believe that

SMART REPORTER UTTERS UNTRUTHS

The smart reporter on the morning glory for three days has had the edi- tor of the Examiner and owner of the Examiner Print Shop in jail and out of jail vainly seeking bondsmen for $500, all of which he knew to the un- true, but intended to cast discredit on a contemporary.
 If Judge Westover expects to gain any friends or strengthen his paper by such methods he will ultimately realize his mistake
 Had the situation been reversed and Editor Westover, who is also owner of a print shop, been arrested on tech nicality because of job of printing issued from his shop and of which hG had little or no direct knowledge, the Examiner would not have printed in big headlines, Westover and So and So JaiIed-Both For Criminal Libel. West over Unable to Get Bond for Day and Half, etc., but instead, the item would have been passed up with the merest mention as of little or no news value.
 The truth so far as the Examiner Print Shop is concerned, could have been ascertained in a moment by call ing up 174 J-and any reporter who knows the first rudiments of the news paper game and is honest enough to practice them, will always make every effort to ascertain the truth as it ap- pears from both sides of a case.
 Judge Westover's smart reporter, however, cares nothing for truth when an untruth presents the most sensa- tional side. Captain O. F. Townsend and Captain William Kryger were signed to the the bond for w. H.. Shorey shortly after noon last Wednes- day, when the editor-owner accom- panied by Judge Robertson, appeared before Judge Jones and waived exami- nation.

The more one thinks about the abomination at Hanlon Heading, the more the blood begins to boil in ones veins. That the pile and rock dam, stretching from bank to bank, is a living and ever growing menace to Yuma Valley no man will deny who will take the trouble to visit that abom- ination in the eyes of the Lord. It is the greatest out rage that has ever been perpe- trated on the farmers of Yuma Valley, much greater than the outrage perpetrated at the same point years ago, for the present dam but adds to the danger of the former dam.

If the same scheme is tried again it sim ply means that for a distance of prob ably a quarter of mile the bed of the river will be blanketed with rock, which will at once preclude the pos sibility of the river securing at that point to a sufficient depth to carry away the overflow waters, which in turn will mean that just as sure as the sun rises so surely will the Yuma Valley be overflowed the following spring. The river is so silted up from the Hanlon Heading to Yuma that nothing on earth can prevent an over flow, unless the Reclamation Service raises the banks of the present levee four or five feet above the present grade. This, of course, will cost thou sands upon thousands of dollars, and unless I am badly mistaken it will all

I am a farmer here in the valley, having farmed her for nearly four years. I have 300 acres in cotton on the Mexican side this year.
 If I could bring my stock there and dispose of them at a fair price I would expect to make an investment there in land, in as much as I do not expect to farm another season in Imperial Valley. Appreciating an early reply, am very truly yours.

vote. There was no roll call and less
than half dozen senator's, including
Senator'S Norris. Jones and Clapp,
voted against it.
Before 1t was ratified, Senator Nor
ris moved an amendment which would
reduce the price to be paid for the
islands from $25,000.O00 to $4,000
600. The amendment was rejected ~
an overwhelming, vote.
Favorable action on the treaty at
this session of congress had been
strongly urged by the administration
particularly because Of the influence
1t might have upon the situation in
Denmark, where the lower house OF
parliament has approved it and q
fight is being made for ratification
in the upper house.
