CANE IN IMPERIAL VALLEY

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-The CALI

that experiments will be made in the
Imperial valley this fall to gather au-
thentic data upon the commercial
adaptability of sugar cane in that Sec

under similar climatic conditions In
dicates that this may become prof.

if it is found that they can be raised
successfully inducements will be
made for the establishment of COM

INHE evident intention Of the administration
L is to make the sugar tariff political issue
Turing the coming campaign. The Democrats in
congress have been goaded to action by the re-
peated taunts of their Republican opponents that
they had to give the domestic sugar producers
protection because of their own extravaganza in
running the government
Hence all this talk of raising the needed revenue
by consumption, producers and excise taxes on
sugar. They would like to, now, only they do
not dare. ~,
Nevertheless taxation for revenue only, with
the sugar industry the goat, is certainly going
to be Democratic slogan for the next eight
months. In Europe much of the revenue for the
expense of government is obtained by means of
production taxes. The farmers over there have
to pay license fee before being permitted TO
grow certain crops. a
Irrespective of constitutional restrictions forbid
ding direct taxation, the Democrats would give
their immortal souls to get out of repeating the
tree-sugar, clause OF their own tariff law. But
they need the money. They have put themselves
in abad hole but they intend to bluff out of ii by
advocating brand-new scheme of Constructive
taxation" if the American people will stand for it,

WHAT MAY HAPPEN, IF

Claudius II. Mcbride, attorney for
Manuel Bento Pacheco, the expelled
member of the Lusitana Society whom
Judge Whitney recently ordered the Or
ganization to restore to membership,
was a much disappointed man yester
day. ..

sured me, yesterday that the member
would be ,readmitted last night, - Me.
Bride explained, shut nothing of the
kind happened and the society has so
far failed to carry out the order of
court. "
He then pointed out section 1856 of
the Revised Laws of Hawaii, which
says what may happen to an organizas
tion that fails to carry out the, orders
of court in a case of this nature. The
section reads:
"When the mandate, directing the
performance of a specific act, shall.
have issued against a corporation, the
notice may he served upon the presid.
ing officer, clerk or treasurer of such
corporation, and if the corporation or
the body of directors disobey the order
1t shall be punished for the contempt
by the sequestratiOn, of its property IN
til itJyields obedience to the mandate
IL is believed that the society will
obey the orderslof court and restore the

Same Pancho Villa

DANCHO VILLA has not changed since the
days when he basked IN the approval Of
Secretary Bryan and was lovingly described by
the Commoner as that intrepid leader" He has
shifted the objective for, his operations; that is
all, points out the Detroit Free Press.
Villa was Just as much villainous cutthroat at
the zenith Of his power when he seemed to have
that equally undesirable parsonage, venustiano
Carranza, down and out as ne is now
His massacres and outrages of those days were
precisely as atrocious and despicable as the mas
sacres at. chihuahua and Columbus
His professions then were his professions of to-
day. He posed as "patriot," "iiberator," an OPP
ponent Of foreign aggression" He does so now.
Those who understood Villa best, those who had
opportunity to observe him, knew what he was and
warned the government and people Of the United
States to beware of him. but for reasons that need
not be recited here their warnings fell on deaf
ears. o. n F gg 1880 assE
" Villa was pictured as a hero was hailed as the
@Garibaldi" of his nation, ridiculous enough
characterization, and newspaper and magazine
articles were written and published extolng his
generalship, his wisdom and his patriotism.
His ENJOYS had standing in Washington and
the ear Of the then secretary Of state. He was
even considered as possible protege of the Am
erican government, as the man who might be
selected to bring peace and the delights Of civiliza
ton to Mexico, with the aid of the United States
Petted, pampered, excused, defended, he was
the same Pancho Villa who few days ago crossed
our border, made an unprovoked assault on an
American village and so far as he was able looted
II and murdered its inhabitants.

PORTLAND, Oregon, March 81. -
All the records of the Episcopal do.
eeseof Oregon have been destroyed, the
custodian Charles b. Pfaher, stating
that such was done at the request Of
the late Bishop Scadding. Later Pfaher
confessed that IL had been done to
hide his own shortage. The discovery
that the documents relating to the do
scese are gone and beyond duplication
has created sensation in Episcopal
circles. 81. Fftt, 4
The discovery was made within the
past few days, when occasion arose to
search the oficial documents for yeri-
fcation Of a pending question. Appli-
cation TO Pfahler, former clerk Of the
diocese, brought from him an admis,
sion Of the fact that he had DESTROYED
the records. He at first stated That
such had been the wish Of Bishop Scad-
ding, which wish he had respected when
the bishop died. Il III
The chancellors Of the diocese say
that there is no reason why Bishop Scad-
ding could have wished the records
made unavailable to his successor.
: Pfsher, who is seventy years old and
has been connected with the diocese
for manyS years, broke down under
cross-examination and finally admitted
that he himself, is short in his nc.
counts. In order to conceal that fact,
he says, he destroyed the church rec
ords. He has been held for investiga-
ton by the grand jury. .t. .., ~

If the members of the board of supervisors want

hang around Merchant street and listen to the

would have saved the pavement A thousand
dollars today would save most of it. A few more

WHY WOOL IS WARMER
 THAN LINEN.

The main difference between. wool and linen is that wool is animal and linen is vegetable, and that the fiber of wool is irregular, while that-of linen is straight and regular. When the ir- regular fiber of the wool is woven it contains certain little cells which hold a neutral layer of air. The linen has no such cells. This layer of air which the cells make is like an invisible coat that keeps the normal heat of the body from leaving it and which at the same time keeps the atmosphere which is colder than the body temperature from entering it.
 This layer of air is, assome writer has put it, little gaseous armor.
 If woolen yarn is rendered straight and regular by some special treatment in the mill, and is woven like linen, it is only a very little warmer than linen. That little is due to it's being animal, which has always more warmth to t than vegetable product

NO WONDER WE GET WRITER'S CRAMP.

The average person has no idea how much muscular effort is expended in writing letter.
 A rapid penman can write thirty words a minute. To this he must draw his pen through a space of sixteen and half feet. In forty minutes his pen travels furlong, and in five hours a third of mile.
 In writing an average word the pen man makes in the neighborhood of six teen curves of the pen. Thus in writ ing thirty words to the minute his pen would make 4SO curves, 2S,S00 curves in an hour and S6,40O,OOO in a year of 300 days of ten hours each.
 The man who succeeded in making 1,O00,OOO marks with pen in month was not at all remarkable. Many men make 4,OOO,OO0 while merely writing.

WICKERSHAM GOT HIS
fRailway & Marine News.) ]

(Railway & Marine News.)
 Delegate James Wickersham of AL asl1a tried once again to be elected to Congress on an anti-transportation platform in Alaska, but failed to get the votes. In the old days he control led the situation and his anti argu- ment met with favor, but the populat- ion is not interested in his personal grievances because he failed to receive S15,0OO a year job from one of the chief transportation companies Fail ing to do so, he started out on his car ger of rule or ruin. This year he urg- ed the Interstate Commerce Commits sion on to the game and an effete young man from the East went North to attack the Wickersham windmills.
 Transportation men all over the Northwest are enjoying good laugh at Wickersham's defeat, and the prog ress of the inquiry. The most import ant feature of the latter was the fact that the Canadian lines, which largely control the situation in Southeastern Alaska deliberately ignored the Inter- state Commerce Commission summons as is their right, and Wickersham, therefore, has placed himself in the position of encouraging the strangula- ton of American lines, wniIe the Can adian lines can chuck1e over the situ- ation, continue their operations as in the past without the slightest fear of. being called to account.
 But what is causing the greatest amusement of all is the fact that Wick ersham and the U. s. Examiner were among those on board the Northwest ern, coming back from Cordova. The boat struck the pretties little gale re corded in the Gulf of Alaska in the last ten years. Staterooms were. smashed in and flooded, the boat stood on end and did everything that wicked cor poration carrier could possibly think of Wickersham and Examiner Will son of the l. c. C., were completely prostrated and the latter, when able to lift his head, was free to admit that operating steamships in Alaska was somewhat different from Pullman trains in the South and 20 to 40 cents a hundred for hauling freight in Alas ka is not so high, all things considered. They were the limpest pair of inyesti- gators that ever stepped off a steam ship at Juneau, and it is now expected that Wickersham will file charges showing that undue influence was ex- ercised over the Gulf of Alaska to cause them all this punishment
 And by the way, a telegram from Juneau stated that Examiner Wilson bought a ticket to Seattle by a Can adian boat This adds to the gayety.

GRASS SHOES THAT
 WEAR 25 YEARS.

Esparto shoes, or shoes made of the toughest and strongest of the coarsei esparto flores, are still worn in Iberia and parts of Portugal. There is no. shoe made which will outlast theny! not excepting leather shoes. Indeedi one pair of esparto shoes has been. known to outwear a dozen tanned hide soles This is due to their faculty of picking up and retaining in their inter- stices stony particles. As fast as the pebbles are worn out they are replaced automatically by others. Thus, a self soling process is constantly going on It is not uncommon in some parts 'of Spain or Portugal to hear the natives boast of wearing a pair of esparto shoes for twenty-five years or more. P
