THREE LITTLE WORDS
 BRING BIG AMOUNT

HONOLULU, Nov. 16 (by Associat- ed Press s)-Addition of three small words to the territorial income tax law will add $1,50O,000 to Hawaii's revenue next year, according to Governor Charles J. Mccarthy, who says he will make an effort to so alter the law and collect territorial taxes on amounts paid out in federal income taxes.
 The words are except income tax" and the governor hopes to have them added to the law which provides for territorial income taxes,
 The governor estimates that about $40,000,000 will leave the territory next year in federal taxes on in comes.

NOME MAN SAYS SIBERIAN GOLD
 MOSTLY SPOTS

Gold, although found in spots in some localities is not so widely pre- valent in the Ohotsk section of Si- beria as reports reaching here in earlier periods suggested, says the Nome Nugget. Furthermore most of the known gold bearing areas are practically worked out at pres ent and the outlook for the pros pector is not half as good as might be expected from the repeated ru- mors. This is the judgment of Her. man Queskey, widely known Nome miner and former operator of the famous Bowery claim on Dexter di- vide, who is at present in that sec tion.
 Writing to Fred Mebes from the town of .Ohotsk under date of Aug. 3 Queskey says:
 Just to let you know that I am all right, will write you few lines. I am here now two weeks, coming to this place from Vladivos- tok. There are three other Ameri- cans here, including Carl Anderson. We have been over the gold fields here but we are disappointed. Things are not one half so good as we were told they were.
 '"There is gold here, but in spots, which are rich usually but is worked out mostly.
 q intend this spring to go up the coast to Anadyr but Anderson told me there was not much doing up there Everybody spoke well of this country so I came here.
 "Just before we got here on the steamer there was bunch of ban dits here (about 3OO) and they took everything away from the people, their gold and furs, and also killed thirty officers and soldiers, the crew of the wireless station and some traders. The officers were of the Kolchak government. They (the bandits) also destroyed the wire less station, burned down ware houses, officers, fishing stations and destroyed everything that came along. The Bolsheviki and the ban dits were fighting for long time but the bandits had to leave and just now everything is quiet. But most of the people are leaving the place

EGG PRICES JUMP
 UP IN AUSTRALIA

SYDNEY, N. s. w., Nov. 16 (by Associated Press.) - Eggs have jumped in price here, mainly because the shipments to the United States are increasing The prices have gone up recently despite the fact that the production has increased.
 All the refrigerating space on the steamer Sonoma sailing in October for San Francisco, was taken for egg shipments, it was reported.

because they expect more trouble this winter.
 q don't think they will trouble Us as long as we are neutral. But in case we have to take sides things would be different. There was a Canadian here all last winter and he was right in the trouble and got away with a few of those fellows himself. But he got out without a scratch. He is getting out of here now and is taking this letter out with him to mail''

The Accurate Drop
Corn Planter.

. he real reason ior using a corr
planter is to save time. However
! il the planter is not accurate, II
would pax better to plant by hand
Accuracy in a corn planter means
uniform drop-the desired number
Of kernels in each and every hill
If the planter is not accurate, a loss
in yield will result.
Accuracy in planting has been the
main object in designing the John
Deere No. 999 Corn Planter. The
advantage of using this planter is
that with proper handling it will
plant two, three or four kernels in
the hill, as desired. Every one of
these machines is rigidly inspected
before leaving the factory.
The seed-dropping device on this
planter is an improvement over all
other seed-dropping devices. The
John Deere No. 999 is equipped with
John Deere Natural Cell Fill, Edge
Delivery Seed Plates. The surface
of the hopper bottom and the open
ings to the seed cells are oblique or
sloping. The weight of the corn in
the hopper causes the seed to move
toward and enter the cells of the
seed plate in its natural position.
The kernels do not have to be tipped
on edge, and, therefore, each cell is
filed readily.
The Full Variable Drop Planter
The John Deere No. 999 Planter
has a variable drop consisting of a
train of gears constantly in mesh.
With this device, two, three or four
kernels can be planted as desired
merely by shifting the foot lever.
The gears are enclosed in an OIL
tight case. and it never is necessary
to remove them from this case,
which is dust-proui.
The driving mechanism has this
advantage over the ordinary-it new
er is separated. Other devices open

The Democratic party has no de-
sire to prosecute legitimate business,
but it believes tina: the men who
grew rich out of the war should pay
its cost, and that it should not fall

lation.

No curtain material has been

these goods in plain, small neat ef-

1 and close at every actuation of the
fork by the wire and are constantly
being released under strain, causing
considerable wear and reducing the
life of the most important parts OF
the planter. The device on the
John Deere No. 500 Planter can be
shifted at any time in the travel Of
the machine.
The John Deere No. 500 is a real
variable drop planter-it varies the
distance in drilling as well as the
number of kernels per hill in hill
ing, and gives a greater variety Of
distances without the use of extra
sprockets and plates.
All corn plates on this planter
have 16 cells; therefore, the same
drilling distances can be obtained as
on planters having s, IL and 16-cell
plates, and without the change of
plates.
Killing or Drilling
Change from killing to drilling or
back to killing is made instantly.
No extra attachments or extra tools
are required. Simply pressing the
foot lever makes the change.
The foot drop provided on this
planter is of special use in hill drop
ping with the foot; also when plant
ing rows at the ends of the field.
Plants Many Varieties of Corn
Seed plates can be furnished for
handling practically any kind of,
corn; also sorghum, milo, maize and
other seeds.
The improved form of cutoff has
quick action. The spring knocker
causes each kernel to be discharged
upon the valve without fail. There
are no ridges or distractions in the
valves to catch and hold the kernels.
Sufficient opening is left just above
the upper valve to enable operator
to see the kernels as they are collect
ed for the hill.

NAzARENES TO
FORM CHURCH

Rev. w. E. Ellis who was formerly
pastor of the Nazarene church in Holt
vile and who has been giving his time
for the past year or more to farming
has accepted a call to take the pas
forage of the newly organized Naza-
rene church in El Centro.
Rev. Ellis preached his first sermon
in Ell Centro Sunday and his efforts
were most favorably received by those
in attendance. His new congregation
number Al souls who are earnest and
enthusiastic in their work. More ad-
ditions are looked for at next Sum-
days meteing.
The congregation already have in
view the purchase of a lot and are
each one putting a sum of money
to go toward building church edifce,
which they hope to have erected in
time for services next winter.
The call to Ell Centre of Rev. Ellis
in nature takes him from Holtville's
midst, although he intends to live
there for time until he can get his
crops in.

DISTRICT WILL /.
FIGHT ROSE PLAN
Demand that Rose Contract be
at Once Cancelled; BelieUe
that Mark Rose Contract is
Abrogated By Action of Rose
Himself.

The board of directors of the irriga-
ton district yesterday formulated
demand that the contract Mark Rose
has with the government be abrogat-
ed. This action came as the result Of
telegram from Mark to friends in
this city saying he had already ar
ranged for the financing of the canal.
The directors decided to at once take
action to forestall anything of this
nature.
AS a result of the deliberations,
resolution instructing Secretary Nc
liver to send the following telegram
was adopted:
GEL Centre, CAL, March %, 1920
"Walter B. Kibbey, Washington hotel,
Washington, d. c.
"Zanjero under date March 10 pub
fishes story of reported advces from
Washington to effect that Rose has
secured financial backing for construc-
ton All-American canal under Rose
contract. Imperial irrigation district
cannot and will not surrender rights
established under it's contract with
secretary or agree in any manner or
at any time to enter into agreement
with Rose or his company for cooper
alton in construction of All-American
canal. We believe that Mark Rose
contract was abrogated by the subse-
quent execution by the secretary of
his contract with district providing
for construction of All-American
canal. Joint surveys have been made
at expense of $45,000 by district and
government, showing construction by
district of All-American canal feas-
ible. First payment Of connection
charges has been made by district and
district has complied in every respect
with its contract to date. Director
Davis and Secretary Lane have re-
peatedly asserted that Rose has failed
in every respect in compliance with
terms Of his contract with that of the
district. Any further consideration of
Rose contract.is also. in conflict with
terms of Kincaid bill. Publication of
these ungrounded reports that Rose
will be permitted to substitute his con-
tract in lieu of thdt-of district is very
harmful in valley and may operate
against future legislation. Ycu are
instructed as official representative of
this board to request Senator Phelan.
Senator johnson, Congressman kett-
ner and all other California represen-
tatives to unite with us in represen-
tations to the secretary of the interior
with the present request that the
Rose contract be at once cancelled
because of noncompliance with its
terms, because it was abrogated by
the execution of district contract and
because it constitutes a menace tc
and is impossible of fulfillment in any
Of its terms.

BOARD FORCES
PERRY TO QUIT;
N|CKERSON. TOO?
Internal Affairs of District
Result in Resignation of Gen.
eral MANAGER C. ". Perry;
NickersOn May Also Leave
the Board.

As forecasted in this paper last
week, refusal of the Imperial Irriga-
tion district board of directors to
fescind a resolution transferring the
control of the Ockerson levee to River
Superintendent F. N. zCronholm, re-
suited yesterday, after the board had
delayed taking action all day, in the
resignation of General Manager C. N.
Perry to take effect April II. Mr..
Perry handed in his resignation just
as the board was ABOUT to adjourn
without taking action.
President j. S. Nickerson. the Rock
of Gibraltar of the board, then de-
clared his intention of leaving the
board, although he did not formally
resign.
Back of the resignation of Mr.. Perry
lies political and internal struggle
in the ranks of the district board
which has been waged fiercely for the
past few weeks.
The action of the board in removing
from his control the Ockerson levee
and giving it to Mr.. Cronholm was
taken at a meeting at which he was
not present. This action was taken
shortly after the recent flood when
the Ockerson levee was preached
in eight places and the Saiz in three.
On hearing of the action of the
board Mr.. Perry was very indignant
and demanded that the board rescind
the action. At the time of the action
Mr.. Nickerson stated that it was
merely a move for more efficiency
and when Mr.. Perry demanded that
it be rescinded it is understood Mr..
Nickerson took the stand that the
board could do whatever it saw fit
and should not be dictated to by an
employe. Two of the members of the
board, it is said, were in favor of
resembling the resolution but refrained
because of Mr.. Nickerson's threat to
resign if such action was taken.
The matter has been tabled at two
meetings and no action taken.
Mr.. Perry has been general man.
ager for the past two years. He has
been with the valleys water system
for over Is years, being attached to
the old California Development COM
pany when the project was in it's in
fancy, remaining with the receiver
during the days following insolvency
of the company, and later with the ir-
rigation district after the people pur-
