FARM ADVISORS
STAFF IS BUSY
IN sept EN- Der

More than $50 persons received
advice from the Agricultural Ex-
tension Service during the month of
September, according to report
submitted to the board of supervis-
ors yesterday by Y. W. DeTar, coun-
ty agent.
Statistics given in the report
showed that ljl farmers were Wis
tied, 1G5 called at the office for ag
ricultural advice while 81 more tele-
phoned and received information IN
that manner. This makes a total of
}53 reached in these ways. In ad-
dition to this, 80 letters were writ
ten, and % meetings held. Total
attendance at these meetings was
80. The number of miles travelled
by auto was given as 5456.
Invest igation of the acreage plant
ed to flax in Imperial Valley in
1896 was conducted during the
month at the request Of the United
States department of agriculture,
and showed that 80 acres were
line, and 20 acres in Imperial county.
The average yield was 10 to 16
bushels of flax seed per acre. This
Weld is considered satisfactory ON
this side Of the line, but due 20
the import duty, the profit from
tne crop grown in Mexico was not
large. A. G. Dllman of the United
States department, at whose request
the survey was made, visited this
county early in the month and after
over the flax situation stat
ed that in his opinion flax would be
grown in this valley only during
those periods when the price of cot
ton was low, and that it would be
replaced by cotton when cotton
prices were high.
Other information contained in
the report has been printed in the
Press in previous issues, events be-
ing reported as they occurred.

said today that he had begged one

crashed and killed Goodale and
three companions.
"The ship was an old one," Jen-
sen said, "and in poor condition.
1 used to fly it when I was in the
islands, but after l left it was not
taken care of. When saw it after
the Hawaiian flight I cautioned
Goodale against using it and Mrs.
Jensen joined with me to get a
promise from him that he would
discard the ship. Goodale did not
share our fears. ~
"He was one of my chief sup,
porters in the Dole race and was a
dear friend. Stanley Brooke, the
photographer who was killed, was
also close friend. I knew Miss
Star and Henry Haneberg, the other
victims,s only slightly. =

Jensen added. "Tf sufficient care
is taken of the ships and close at
tention is paid to details. 1t is slip

Politicians Try to Ascertain
Results of Mill and Eleva-
tor Report Disclosures
State Treasurer 6. A. Fish
er Doomed as Likely League
GubernatOrial Candidate

Political noses are being pointed
into the wind and political ears held
close to the ground preliminary to
state Nonpartisan and Independent
conventions scheduled for next win
ter.
Although this is presumably the
off year in state politics, with the
Legislature out of the way and nc
elections in sight until next year
recent happenings, have resulted in
renewed bubbling Of the political
cauldron.
Chief among these events is the
recent publication Of the reports OF
the state mill fact-finding committee
appointed by the senate last winter
One Of the reports was published
with the consent Of the committee
and the other without such consent.
Now politicians are busiiy engaged
in trying to ascertain the political
results which may be expected from
the disclosures. On both the hide
pendent and Nonpartisan sides the
more cautious are inclined to be
lieve that it will not be possible to
assay the political tendencies of the
public until after the harvest season
Leaders Mainta ain Silence
In the meantime Independent lead
ers here are maintaining discree,
silence. Just as Is the governor ana
his friends in the Nonpartisan camp
In fact no one at the state capitO,
wants to talk about the mill report
for purposes Of publication.
Meantime discussion is being
heard in League ranks as to possibic
nominees for governor and the plat.
form which will be adopted by the
league with regard to the Sorlie az
ministration Of the mill and ele
vator.
Three names now are being men
toned as possible gubernatoria
nominees. They are those Of Lieu.

sion.
For a long time only the names OF
Maddox and Fisher were heard but
wcll-informed Nonpartisans sa,
Vogel is making quiet effort Il
line up strength which will stant
him in good stead when convention
time rolls around.
Fisher is Doomed
Fishers friends express belief tina
he can have the Nonpartisan endorse
ment for governor if he wants it
but that they are not sure ne wants
it. These point to the fact tha
Fisher has always been good vote
getter in his races for state treasure
and are grooming him for candi
dacy which may be other than a can
didacy for governor.
First among these is the post Of
congressman from the second dis
trict, now held by Thomas Hall, a.
Independent. Fisher. some Of hi:
friends believe, would make a strong
err congressional candidate than thu
Nonpartisans have had in the secont
district in years. The same peopl.
point out that if the prospects O.
beating Hall are none too brigh
Fisher could run against Joseph A
Kitchen for commissioner of agri
culture and labor.
One thing is certain, if Fisher i

his second term will expire a yea

Castle Of ChillOn
Will Be Restored

Montreux, Switzerland, Sept. o.
Ry-American visitors are legion in
contributing to the fund for the re-
pair and restoration of the Castle
Of Chillon, one of the most famous
as we'll az the most beautiful of
Europe's historical monuments.
The castle embodies . struggle of
liberty against tyranny. Byron per-
petuated it in>his poem "The Prison
er Of Chillon."
Located on a small rocky islet near
the Swiss shore Of Lake Leman, the
castle was the scene Of revolving
cruelties. Among the unfortunate
who suffered calvary were the Jews
5 Of Villeneuve, who were accused in
1348 of having poisoned the water of
duced 1.-THE Black Death"
were burned alive in the fortress,
as we'll as some Christians, who were
accused of completely. Towards the
end Of the 18th and nth centuries a
large number Of so-called sorcerers
were incarcerated, tortured and fin
ally put to death.
Tombs unearthed near the entrance
Of the castle are said to show that
human beings dwelt at Chillon in the
bronze age, between the 18th and
10th centuries b. C. But the oldest
authenticated historical document
hears the date of zoos A. D. and in
dicates that the castle belonged at
that time to the Bishop Of Sion.
Eventually the castle passed into
the possession 1T the House Of Savoy.
whose Duke, Charles the Third, was
the prosecutor Of Francois Bonivard.
whose imprisonment inspired Byron's
poem.
byron visited Chillon in 1915 and
cut his name in the stone pillar to
which Bonivard had so long been
manacled. Dickens and other nota-
bles also have chiselled their names
in the stone Of the dungeon and to-
day the castle IL visited by thousands
of Americans.

River GnaWS Away
Towns Foundation

Columbus, KY. Sept. 9.-sA| The
Mississippi river. which gave the
town OF Columbus to the nation, is
slowly retaining its gift.
For many years the mighty stream.
sweeping around gentle curve in
its course, deposited silt and sedi-
ment ut tie foot of high bluff un-
til the soil was built out for almost
mile. On this rich bottom Column
bus was laid out and has thrived.
Floods came from time to time,
but Columbus built levees and a
$500 foot revetment, and a wooded
island above the town helped to stay
the waves. When the great ice
gorge Of 1917 swept down the river
it changed the course Of the waters
from the east to the west side of the
protective island. A revetment was
built by the Iron Mountain railroad
company. to hold in check the waters
which threatened the town.
Gets Behind Rcvetmcnt
But in 1924 the current cut deep
or into the city frontage, eating be-
hind the revetment Government en-
gineers inspected the site and appro-
priation Of $4,000 was made for II
new bulwark. Before the work
started the 1927 flood came. covering
Columbus with II feet of water and
washing away most Of the protective
levcc.
The river bank has now caved in
800 feet Of the business section. and
it is doubtful whether the money
available will build a suitable revet
ment. The town is crumbling int"
the stream whence IL sprung.
So Columbus is going to move to
new site. A high bluff has been
selected. not far away, overlookin ing
the Mississippi for miles in each
direction. Away from the bluff and
the river stretches rich plateau
part of which was once laid out as
national capital. Thomas Jeffer-
son proposed the site, but it was re
jected in congress by single vote.
