RENOVATED FOR
new LAWMAKERS
(By Associated Press)

BERLIN, Nov. 5.-The Reichstag
building has undergone a rigorous
renovation and has been pronounced
again fit for parliamentary occupa-
ton. The work occupied nine months.
In ridding the great gilded-domed edi-
flee of all traces of the revolution, the
largest calibered vacuum cleaners, the
most powerful of disinfectants, and
the deadliest of vermin exterminators
were employed.
While in addition to the damage it
had undergone, the building contained
so manv unpleasant reminders of the
days when civil war was waged in Ber-
lin, the national assembly had a reas-
enable excuse for prolonging its So
journ in Weimar. But now that dis
infectants and vermin- -exterminators
have completed their work. such ex-
cuse no longer exists.
The shortage of hotel and lodging
house accommodation, however, is
likely to prove embarrassing to those

the cotton gin war now being
waged in Imperial valley between
the Globe cotton gins and the in
dependent gins operated by J. A.
Harris and HCltvilIe company,
according to DR.. W. O. Johnson,
farm advisor.
Il am not convinced in my own
mind, but that the Globe gins are
not operating in restraint Of trade,
and thus amendable to the Sherman
antitrust act said DR.. johnson this
morning, "and l shall bring the mat
ter before the directors. We shall
wage an active campaign in our farm
center meetings to lay the matter
before the peaple and will start with
the meeting this evening at Mesquite
lake"
J. A. Harris. Of Imperial and Braw-
ley, this morning to The Press, when
asked to verify the statement that
he had been notified that the Globe
gins would cut their price for ginning
further to y cents hundred if he
did not raise with them to so cents,
said:
Zone of their men called on me last

NO PAGEANT Of
BARBARA WORTH
1T CELEBRATION

There will be NO pageant OF The
Winning of Barbara Worth at the San
Diego 4 Arizona celebration in this
city December and &.
The immense undertaking has been
deemed too great to stage successfully
in so short a time.
: The idea, however has not been
abandoned and it is possible the page
ant may be staged some time later in
the year. To properly advertise such a
pageant would require at least three
months, and in addition il might take
that long to write the scenario, those
in charge point out.
It is believed that a pageant of this
sort would supply the Valley with pub
licity such as il could obtain no other
way and thousands of visitors would
come from long distances to see it,

to Texas and have offered them no
chance to refuse"
The situation at present is that the
Globe gins in Imperial and Brawley
are charging 20 cents, while the Harris
gins are maintaining the old rate of
35 cents, with lots of business. In
Holtville, where there is but one gin
and that independent, the price is 35
cents. At CaleXico and Ell Ccntro the
price is so cents.
Dr.. Johnson stated that the farm
burear directors would investigate the
situation and probably take such ac-
ton as they deemed necessary.

Over thirty five thousand cases of canned salmon have been shipped by the new salmon cannery at Andreaf- sky. near the mouth of the Yukon. up to inc present time. On the first trip to st. Michael this year the Vic toria picked up eight thousand cases and the Senator secured a shipment of ten thousand cases on her last visit. The Victoria will take out seventeen thousand cases on her forthcoming trip to Seattle. The shipments so far made are said to. be composed principally of king salmon, the choic- est salmon obtainable.
 The first consignment of the season was the first Alaska king salmon to reach Puget sound this year and is said to have brought an excellent price. It is interesting to note that the product from Bering Sea beat the first Southeastern Alaska king sal mon shipments to Seattle. in spite of the extreme distance and adverse navigation conditions on Bering Seq during the spring.

\ long delayed letter from Col. c. l.. Sturdevant arriving on the Spring fleet discloses that the completion Of the Snake River harber improvement next year may be held up by the War Department in the event of the city failing to take steps toward the 1n- stallation of a public terminal or wharf at some point on the harbor basin
 Col Sturdevant's communication points out that theaisiver and Harhor Bill of March ?. 1919 clothes the Sec retary of War with strong discretion ary powers which enable him to With hold public monies appropriated un- der the act when in his opinion no water terminals exist adequate to the handling of the existing or contem- plated traffic and open to shippers on equal terms, or when he is given no satisfactory assurances that local or other interests will provide adequate terminals.
 The proposal of the city council to construct a city dock at some point on the river basin next year Is, therefore, in full keeping with the demands of the act on which the completion of the harbor improvement may depend. Failure to make some provision for a public terminal is very likely to result | in refusal by the War Department to proceed with the construction and a
 resultant delay in completion of the
 much needed shipping improvement Col. Sturdevant's letter follows: Seattle, Washington, April 2s, 1919
