DULL DEMAND
REPORTED In
HAY MARKET

All classes of alfalfa hay were in
rather dull demand at the Los An
gclcs market during The week ending
March II. Recent rains n this area
have tended to steadily strengthen
the green feed situation and as a
result local dairy men have continued
to use that type of feed quite eNten-
sively. Low barley prices and other
feed concentrates have induced many
of the dairying trade to use a small
amount of these feeds together with
green barley or green alfalfa and re-
duce considerably their feedln" costs.
The volume in receipts during the
week ending March II has shown
some decrease, although the market
reflected no strength from this fac
tor. Alfalfa offerings during the
week have been well up to average
in quality, although railroad arrivals
have not exhibited many choice ship
mcnts. Cars have been held over for
several days on MANY occasions.
Dealers were offering lower grade
hay at discounts well under prevail
ing prices in order to get rid of dis
tressed lots From all indications re-
Gently. "A fair volume of the truck
receipts are moving direct from
growers to dairymen at attractive
prices to the producer.

THE AUDITORIUM

Action last night by the city council, in
pas ng the auditorium proposition
through its second reading, makes it al
most certain that it will appear on the
ballot at the April election, though a
third reading, to be made at special ses-
sion of the council next Monday night, is
necessary.
There were many arguments pro and
con, presented at last nights meeting
This is as it should be. All who were in
terested either one way or the other, were
given their chance to speak, and were lis
tened to attentively by friend and oppon-
ent.
Supporters of the auditorium idea
realize that there are honest and sincere
citizens who object to the idea and that
these same citizens are just as much in
terested in the growth and development
of FL Centro as are the friends of the
plan. That all do not see the idea in the
same light is but natural
BY putting the proposition before the
people at the election, it will be definitely
decided one way or another.
One opponent of the proposition sug-
gested last night tnat the plan should be
voted on solely by taxpayers, lnferrlng
property owners, to the exclusion Of
those who do not own property. While
the property owner carries the burden. 1t
is the non-property owner who helps him
carry it.
The non-property owner buys the mer-
chandise offered by the merchants of this
city. the same as does the property own
er; he pays taxes on his personal proper
ty and he rents the houses which the
property owner builds. As he is in the ma
jority, one might try picturing what Ell
Centro would be like without the non
property owner.
The auditorium plan is of vital import
to the city. 1t should be decided solely
upon its merits and after the voters have
had ample opportunity to become famil-
ia. with all its phases.

Thursday, March 20, 1880

Imperial valley during the first halt
of March showed considerable I'M
provement as compared W tn the
month of February. 1t is advised
further that buyers inquiry has beeh
rather active during the past Two
weeks and good demand prevailing
the past seven days. Prices to grow
ers on top grades of alfalfa in the
Imperial valley have ranged from
SIS to SIG per ton, f. o. b. ranch,
at which prices hay has had ready
sale. Cool weather last week has re
tarded the growth of the new al
falfa crop in that area, Recent rain
in Imperial valley will delay pro-
duction and hinder loading and haul
ing for few days. The extent of tha
volume of hay being discolored and
damage has been reported very light
and perhaps will result in small
sold perhaps to local dairy men.
The comparative truck movement of
ward Los Angeles showed gain of
alfalfa hay from Imperial valley to-
nearly $50 tons from the preceding
week, or a total of 1851 tons for the
period March 8 to II inclusive. Ac-
cording to recent reports the San
Diego trade has been receiving some
of Imperial valleys choice alfalfa
based upon federal grades.

A GOODJOB

The action of the New York supreme
court in ruling Magistrate Albert Vitale
off the bench is step in the right direc-
ton.
Vitale borrowed $4,000 from the late
Arnold Rothsetin, notorious gambler he
released an alleged robber, over the vio-
lent objection of the police. who was de-
tended by lawyer hired by Rothsteln.
A dinner given in his honor was held up
by gunner and a detectives gun was stol-
en-to be returned to the detective, two
hours later, by Vitale himself.
Obviously, such man had no place on
the bench. His presence there SIMPLY
served to bring the law into dlsrepute. IL
is good to read that he has been ousted-
even if we weren't in his jurisdiction our
selves.

"SOUR GRAPES''

The new ninth planet so called discov-
cry of which was announced last week
from Flagstaff, Arizona, has already
committed terrible mistake
AS planet it is not likely to get any

cred outside of California It may strug-
gle along making an effort to become as
we'll known as Saturn, Mars or Jupiter,
but it is fore-dOomed to failure, without
the publicity which it would have receiv-
ed had it been wise enough to allow it.

From Altadena comes the announce
rnent by one Edward H. Morse, reputedly
an amateur astronomer of parts, that
the discovery of the planet is not such
much at that. 1t is notable achieve
ment', according to Mr.. Morse, but to say
that it dwarfs all other astronomical dis
coveries in the past 100 years, is highly
exaggerating".
Mr.. Morse is at present constructing

planet just had to get itself discovered
before his telescope could be completed.
Again, Nj. Morse points out, there is
that big 100 inch telescope at Mt. Wilson,
a perfectly fine telescope for any planet
to get itself discovered b., and this locoed
maverick up there in the heavens passed
it right by to pick out hitherto unheard
o. spot in Arizona.
The very idea of Arizona being enlight-
ed enough to dabble in telescopes and star
gazing, comes az distinct shock. We al
ways believed it was fully occupied with

time obStruct.ng Boulder dam leglSla-

Astronomers as a group are lacking
in jealousy and are more than willing to
give the other fellow his due credit, but IN
view OF published statements regarding
TIE discovery of new planet, it appears
tina the unsurpassed research at Mt.
Wilson has not been stressed Mr.. Morse
asserts.
There, gentle reader, in our opinion, is
the best example of sour grapes we
have seen or heard of in many moon:

contest and emerge with all the prizes
and ribbons offered.
The only way apparently open to tnat
planet to get anywhere, to amount TO
something, to be known as 1t should is
for the state of California to annex Arl-
zona. 1t must be a pretty fair sort OF
planet, and there is no need OF its beng
wasted as it IS certain to be because OF
the nature of its discovery. And annex
