The year 1900 was the last year of
the Nineteenth century. Theoretically
the Christian era began with the birth
of Christ. Since a century is 100
years the first century of our era must
have ended with the year 100 A. D.
Therefore the second century began
with the first day in 101. The first
century consisted of the years l to 100
inclusive We are now living in the
9th year Of the Twentieth century
which began January /, 1901.

Fight Over Platform

The committee did not report until
after three o'clock Saturday afternoon,
and then they gave to the convention
both majority and minority report
on these two planks. The threatened
dissension in the party had been car
ried from the committee into the con-
vention to be fought out on the floor.
The League plank was the first point
disposed of. Ex-Secretary Baker made
an impassioned appeal for the minority
report, and for two hours the subject
was debated, but in the end the con-
yention voted 353 to 742 in favor Of
the majority.
The same people who had fought for
definite denunciation of the Khan
in the resolutions committee led the
fight for that when it was taken to
the floor of the convention. William
Jennings Bryan, and Senator Owen OF
Oklahoma made the appeal for the
adoption of the majority report. Mr..
Bryan, in pleading for such plank
as would, in his belief, insure party
l1nity. said: @The Catholic church
does not need the defense of any po-
lftical party, and the Ku Klux Khan
does not deserve the advertising" At
the close of two hours Of intense de-
bate the roll of the states was called
and the vote resulted in $50 for the
minority report and SAB against it.
By the close margin of four votes De
! mocracy failed to mention the Khan
by name in its platform.

During the past few months the
great annual flight of migratory
birds to the south has taken place.
The honk Of wild geese, flying by
night mostly, was familiar sound.
So the gathering of great fiocks of
blackbirds and other varieties pre-
pairing to migrate were common
sights. Soon jim Crow, an OCCASION

the only land birds to spend the win
ter with us. The wonder is how the
birds that remain find food, water
and shelter. We can all help pre-
serve the birds by placing a little
food where they can get it, especially
about the house or sheltered places
and let the house cat enjoy seeing
them through the windows from the
inside.

Carrying dogs on the running
board of an automobile results in
many dogs being killed by falling
off or being thrown off, and killed
or MANNED, and many are lost on
the highways. The Oregon State
Humane Society has prepared and
will present law to protect dogs
carried in this way. 1t is called an
act regulating and prohibiting car
rying dogs on automobiles and pro-
vides that it shall be unlawful to
carry dog upon the hood, fender,
running-board or other external
parts of any automobile unless the
same shall be protected by frame

is, most bulls are kept confined in

neglected as to food and water, and
they look on mankind as an enemy

so. SIERRAS in
PLEA TO RAISE
THEIR CHARGES
Seasons Low Rainfall
Causes Extra Expense
Says Pres. West

The Southern Sierras Power Com
pany has applied to the California
state railroad commission for q tenn
porary increase in rates charged con
sumers that will offset the increase
in operating expenses caused by the
abnormal water shortage and the
necessity of using Oil and the buy
ing of power from outside sources.
Similar applications have been made
by other power companies so that
they may maintain adequate service
to consumers. The drouth of the
early part Of 1924 is practically with
out precedent as is the rapid decline
in the natural stream flow in Cali
fornia.
In q written statement, a copy of
which has been received by the
Press, A.. B. West, general manager
of the Southern Sicrras Company
says, "our watersheds in the high
Sierras of Monyo and Inyo cOun-
ties show the lowest run-off record
in 20 years. The company's auxili-
ary steam plants have been operated
to capacity instead of merely giving
emergency and standby service as
usual. We have had to purchase a
large volume of steam generated
power from other companies with
which we are now or will be soon
Mr.. West refers to the $2,500,00O
construction program of the com
pany which is for hydro-generating
plants and transmission lines that
will improve service. He adds that
unless the earnings of public util-
itv are adequate it cannot keep pace
with the growth of the demand for
service. Therefore, q rate adjust
ment is essential if a sound finan-
ciaf condition is to be maintained
as present rates are predicated on
normal years, he states. 1t is ex-
pected that the expense of maintain
ing essential service in the territory
served by the company until the
next seasonal run-off will be $500,
600 above the normal expense of
the years for which the present
rates were made.

MELON CROP
IS PROVING
PROFIT ABLE

The peak of the cantalOupe ear
load shipping occurred on June -
when $50 ears left the Imperial Val
ley. Last year the peak was reach
ed June 20 when 529 ears went out
of the valley on one day. Compare
son shows that the shipping record
of this year is ahead of that for the
1923 season in date and number of
ears shipped.
The 1924 season peak as compared
with the 1922 season peak shows
an earlier date but fewer ears roll
ing on the peak day. In 1922 the
peak occurred on June 27 when 64S
ears left the valley. A bumper crop
was harvested in 1922 and it is re.
called that to keep the market up,
one or two days picking was allow,
ed TO stay on the ground. =,
This year the early peak is attri-
buted to the even temperature that.
prevailed for the latter part of the
growing season. This permitted the
melons to ripen steadily an dthe
slight GOODNESS kept the crop in good
condition. According to b. A. Har-
rigan, Imperial County horticultural
commissioner the present harvest
should prove profitable to most
growers as high prices were obtain
ed for the early crop and after a
drop, dne to the retarded summer in
the east, have climbed again so
that shippers now ara likely to
realize well ON their Investment.
The 1924 cantaloupe crop. total
shipments to date amount to 1866
ears approximately 200 more ears
than the 1923 crop of 56i4 ears on
the same date. aud 500 more ears
than oil same date in 1929 When
900, was the total number.
II is likely that the total. ship
ments for the 1924 season may be
less than the total number Of cars
sent out of the valley last year
but this can not be acertained for
a few weeks, Cars ordered each
day are decreasing in number now
and two or three weeks will bring
the close of the season.

2 DEAD, 8 HURT
in TONG ATTACK
AT BORDER CITY
40 jailed at Mexicali as
Feud is Suddenly
Renewed

Chinese vengeance burst into
flame again last night in Mexicali s
Chinatown. as opposing factions re-
newed |the tong war. Two Chinese
were reported killed and seven more
were wounded as fusillade after fu-
sillade '0i bui+ets cleared the alleys
and back streets of the Oriental
section.
Only after federal troops from
the cuartel had been rushed to the
scene Of the tong struggle and more
than 40 of the participants had been
taken to Jail, did the fighting quiet
down. One Mexican soldier was
wounded n.he fighting, which took
place before the prisoners could be
led to jail.
Although federal troops are pat
rolling the Chinese quarter of Mex
icaly today, there is apparetnly lit
tie activity. The Chinese residents
appear sullen and refuse to give the.
names of the Victims of the war.
The outburst, last night has been
anticipated for some time, for the
Chinese factions have been bitter
toward each other ever since the
murder of Francisco Chee, Chinese
merchant, about a month ago. The
death of the two Chinese last night
brings the total of tong war victims
up to eight.
Traced to Ventura
Those who are familiar with the
bloody feuds that have been GO
ing on for long time among the
Orientals, says that the trouble last
night is directly traceable to the
death of the Chinese merchant.
That phase of the war was the re-.
suit OF .;;n outburst in Ventura, Cal
ifornia, sometime ago, it is said,
where Chez was supposed to have
had a hand-in the murders.
a. His assassination was said TO
have been effected by five assail-
ants, who shot him while he was in
the vicinity of his store in Mexica-
Ii. Two weeks later five Chinese
were killed in the same section of
the city, and because Chez s family
and friends seemed satisfied with
the turn of affair, 1t was believed
that the five were those who were
responsible for che death of the
merchant.
Mexican authorities have threat
en- ito hOlG the leaders of the fac
tions responsible for any further
disturbances, but it is thought that
the feud, is still smouldering, await
ing only spark to stant it into
bloody flames again.
