Los Angeles. Cal.-The Salton sea, in the Imperial valley one of the natural wonders of the West, is coll stantly shrinking. Al present il is about IS miles lorg and nine miles wide at the greatest point. During the last five years the water is said to have retreated about mile year, leaving salt-encrusted adobe land, which is eagerly seized by homestead- CTS. Often their location stakes are planted far out in the water.
 The sea, which lies f69 feet below the level of the ocean, a6ounds in mul- let and carp which local and Arizona capitalists are planning to utilize bg the creation of great cannery.
 The United States department of az riculture reports state that about the Salton sea lies the largest area of date producing laEd in the country.
 Geologists say the Salton sink as It once WIS known, in prehistoric times has changed from desert to sea and from sea to desert 90 times or more.

Mead LaPlante walked into our Of
fee Tuesday morning with roll OF
paper firmly grasped in his right
hand and do-or-die look In his eye
When he squared of In front of us
we knew that he had something that
he was determined to drive home to
our doubling mind with emphasis.
He began by telling us how we had
doubted HIS word on canaries and
other things that he claimed TO have
seen during this freak OF a winter so
this time he proposed to bring along
the proof of what he saw. He slowly
unrolled the paper and brought TO
view llzzard, measuring about six
inches in length and very much a
live.
II captured that fellow this morn
ing as he was moving along on, the
snow and what want to learn OF
you Is what effect that lizards pre-
ambulating around this time of the
year is TO have upon the weather"
said Mr.. LaPlante.
We Immediately referred the ques-
ton to our official weather prophet,
C. T. Roberts, Before Mr.. Roberts
would hazard an opinion he demand
ed evidence that Meade had really
captured the lizard as he claimed
and when he claimed. @f
Asked why he required such q GER
tificate of truth and varacity he re-
piled that on former occasion he
had investigated MIR. LaPlant's asser-
ton that canaries had been seen by
him and he tRoberts) found out that
the birds were sparrows. Therefore
he demanded proof Meade refused
To parley longer and so we were left
with the query. "What means itT'
this lizard out for morning walk
on the last day OF November.
LATER: Mr. Roberts advised us
yesterday that the presence OF liz
zard outside OF winter quarters at
this time OF the year means a green
winter and had Mr.. LaPiante cap
tured the reptile as he claims to-
have done there would be no question
about wearing B. v. D.'s for a long
time TO come. However. investiga-
ton revealed. so Mr.. Roberts. claim
ed. that Mr.. LaPlante captured the
lizard in bunch OF bananas. and
that fact throws big cloud over the

DIRECT PRIMARY SYSTEM
Beats Conventions and Caucuses,
Says Hughes.

Charles Evans Hughes advocated
retention OF the direct primary sys-
TEN In making party nominations
Tor Offices In states and lesser politi-
cal units in an address Saturday
before delegatese TO the convention
OF the National Municipal league of
which he is president.
Speaking on ''the fate OF the direct
primary" Mr.. Hughes declared 1t was
the Essential complement OF the
short ballot" and that IT would be
a mistake TO throw over the system
In favor OF return to- the old con-
vention system or it's predecessor.
the party caucus.
Mr.. Hughes summed up the adyan-
tages OF the direct primary system
In two arguments.
First" he said, 'it places a weap-
on in the hands of the party voters
which they can use with effect in
case of need. They are no longer help
less. This fact puts the party lead
ers on their best behavior. IL is
safeguard to the astute and unsel-
FISH leaders who is endeavoring to
good standards in line with
sound public sentiment. IL favors a
disposition not to create situations
wich are likely TO challenge test.
"Second-The fact of this control
gives TO the voters consciousness
of power and responsibility. II things
de not go right they know that the
trouble lies with them. The import
ince OF this assurance should not be
overlooked in any discussion of the
apathy OF the electorate"

OF the old ramshackle much as wart

North Western railway company is
going TO build for Crystal Falls,
The Crystal Falls business men
were advised by the state Utilities
Commission that that body had writ
ten the North Western rail road COM
pany informing them of the condit-
ion OF the Crystal Falls station and
asking them IL they wouldn't agree
10 provide this city with decent
station accommodations without the
necessity OF having 10 call a formal
hearing Mondays disclosure shows
what the Northwestern railroad OFF,
ciais OF some OF them. at least. think
constitutes decent depot accommod-
ations for Crystal Falls~-a toilet
Crystal Falls people had been lead
10 believe that the North Western Co.
considered the Crystal Falls station
an important one on its system. .Thon-
sands OF dollars OF freight money are
collected at this station--the ann
cunts running. so some OF the Utilit-
les commission members told us-~to
more than $4,000 some months In
addition there Is ore and log freight
originating here that runs in 10 many
thousands OF dollars each year.
When the agitation wns started to
get a new depot II was because tim
people felt that the NORTHWESTERN
officials responsible for the conditions
existing here were directly opposed
to giving Crystal Falls people decent
accommodations we are sure
OF II.
IL Ia very likely that the action OF
the company will result In mich III
feeling being stirred up towards the
company and especially against The

taken in this case as an Insult.
