NEW THEORY ABOUT MAN.

LONDON, NOV. al, n. S.)-That
man is million years old; that his
nursery was Africa, not ASIA that he
began as a pigmy, evolved from an
ape; that the Ice Age was compara-
lively modern-roughly $4,000 years
ago; that we are now in the warmest
period of the earth's existence--these
are some of the rather heterodox
opinions put forward by DR.. A.
Churchward, in a much-illustrated
book called "rhe Origin and Evolu-
ton of the Human Race which runs
counter to most opinions.

FORMER JURIST is
OUT FOR GOVERNOR

Winfield Hogaboom, who was direc-
tor of the San Diego EXposition's Pub
licity department, and who now is a
newspaper writer in Los Angeles, was
in the city today in behalf of the can
didacy of Judge Robert M. Clarke. of
Los Angeles, who aspires to be gov
ernor of California, and seeks the re
publican nomination. Mr.. Hogaboom
is just completing tour Of the whole
state in an effort to learn what the
big issues of the coming gubernatoria'
campaign are to be.
Judge Clarke has not promulgated
any campaign platform, as yet, ani
will not do so for some time, / believe
said Hogaboom. He is one of those
peculiar candidates for office who be
lieves that after he is elected he will
be merely a servant of the people. anC
that, therefore, it behooves him t.

istered by them"
He then went on to give his opin-
ion on the question of ABSORPTION of
the mutuals:
"The ABSORPTION of the mutual wa
ter companies by the district is a mat
ter which must be determined by the
stockholders of the various mutual wa
ter companies. The district directors
are all Of the opinion that the district
could operate all of the canal system
under one management more ecOnom-
ically and with great increase in
efficiency. The directors of several
mutual companies are now considering
the advisability of entering into con-
tract with the district under the terms
of which the district would agree to
purchase the system Of such mutual
water company and thereafter operate
it, making direct delivery to the indi-
vidual land holder. Under this pro-
cedure the Individual would receive at
his gate 100 per cent of the water
charged to him, and all losses in trans
portation would be absorbed by the dis
trict. Such contracts, if entered into
will provide that they shall not become
operative until approved by two-thirds
of the stockholders of the mutual wa
ter companies so contracting. nor un-
til such time as the district may be
able to float bond issue in an amount
sufficient to pay the purchase price
agreed upon. 1t is hoped that the mu-
tual water company directors will see
fit to enter into such contracts in time
so that their action may be passed up
on by their stockholders at their next
annual meetings, which occur in Jan
uary and February next. 1t is believ
ed that the stockholders very general!
are in favor of such action and will
approve of the plan if they are givel
opportunity to express themselves a
their annual meeting"

Reeves court to support their motion
for separate trial for Mrs. Oben-
chain.
Attorney Warren Williams who
with Obenchain. has been handling the
preliminary details of the legal bat
lie, prepared the affidavits.

serted that the so-called confession if
made by Burch. was not given in her

She did not participate in the al
legged plot to kill Kennedy, according
to this affidavit. For these reasons
it was contended that such evidence
was not admissible against her and
that a separate trial was imperative.
In Obenchain's affidavit it was set
for that owing to the fact there was
no transcript of the grand jury pro-
ceedings in the case. available, the de-
fense is at sea as to what the prosecu-
tion expects to prove.

ing to the fact the prosecution prob
ably will attempt to introduce the
purported confession of Burch, it
would be prejudicial to Mrs. Oben-
chains rights not to have separate

BLUE HOG WILL
BE At TRACTION
FL centric FAIR
Doors of Big Tents Be ThrOWn
Open Tomorrow for Magnif-
hcU.
Did you ever see a blue hog?

Did you ever see blue hog?
Neither did any of the members OF
the committee that classified the diff
ferent breeds.
However, an application has been
made for an entry of one "Saphire
Brood Sow" which belongs to one of
our valley ranchers. The hog has
brilliant blue hair. This is a regular
side show attraction but one dime will
see the sow and all the rest of the
big fair.
Acton is the watchword at the show
grounds on West Main street. With
only tonight and tomorrow morning to
go, work on the multitude of booths
is being pursued at a tremendous
rate.
Varney Brothers & Co. will present
the first fashion show of the fair on
the opening night. Saturday. The
fair committee have secured the serv-
ices of several professional models and
they will parade on the runvay down
the center of the tent allowing every
one to have the equivalent Of front
row seat. In the Varney Booth there
will also be several models whose duty
will be to present the correct styles
for this fall and winter. s
Our fair is going across in a big
way. Tomorrow it starts so lets all
turn out for the opening day.
During the period of the fair, Oct.
2 to 29 with the exception of Sun
day) the doors will be open every day
at II o'clock a. m. and will close at
II p. m.
From / p. m. there will be continu-
GUS entertainment on the big joy run
way. One of the special features en-
gagged for the first three afternoons
and nights of the fair will be strictly
first class minstrel show with rat
Ting good band and orchestra.
The committee on entertainment
has made arrangements for the ap-
pearance on "The FPath of Pleasure
of some big time vaudeville acts the
latter part of the week.
A Los Angeles jazz orchestra COM
posed of six solo instrumentalists will
furnish peppy music for the dances
which will be held nightly in the farm
section tent.
The fair committee announces that
the live stock premium fund has been
increased, thus permitting the award
ing of more valuable prizes to the
winners. These prizes have, with the
exception of the prize offered in the
butter fat contest. been almost doub-
led so it is we'll worth while to make
a determined effort to land some of
them.
All those who have entered stock
or poultry at the fair are again urged
to get their exhibits on the lot as soon
as possible.
A reliable stock man and several
able assistants will look after all
stock brought to the tents. All that
the exhibitors are expected to furnish
is feed for their stock.
The fact that Zinn and Stanton, the
we'll and favorably known stockmer
and autioneers, will be in charge of
the stock department is sufficient
guarantee that all live stock entered
will receive the best of care.
