COUNTY HAS FINE RANKING

WHILE the condition of agriculture is
W such that it cannot be termed a very
profitable field just now, it is crafty
ing, nevertheless, to know the high
standing which Imperial county holds in
the national field of agriculture, where
the 1880 census report places it in 11th
position.

years that it has seen, the record is par
ticularly remarkable

great amount of good in holding such
ranking, this need not discourage those

 of Japanese

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. = The powerful opposition of Senator Will liam E. Borah, of Idaho, was raised Monday against American partici- patton in the embargo of arms shipments to the Orient.

STOCK PRICES RALLY; GAINS
 ARE KEPT UP
Steadiness of Bonds, Firm ness of Wheat Help
 Share Market

NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-Stocks rallied rather vigorously for time today. While final prices were off somewhat from the best, gains of one to more than two points were registered. The final tone was firm. Trade was under 100000 shares.
 Bends Steady
 Comparative steadineSS of bonds was regarded as encouraging, par ticularly the support accorded Unit ed States government bonds and stock traders were inclined to shift to the constructive side of the market on the theory that indica- tions of pronounced progress in dealing with the banking situation will give a boost to prices.
 Wheat Helps Out
 Firmness of wheat also had a good effect on securities.
 Traders today sought to cover short commitments but found near by offerings scarce.
 American Tele ph one, Allied Chemical and Union Pacific rose about three points and closed near the best.
 Stocks up one to two points were United States Steel, North Ameri- can, Dupont, McKeesport, Corn Products and Southern Pacific. Rails were mostly firm.

President-EIect Roosevelt
 Makes Good On Surprises"
By BYRON PRICE (Chie fof Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington.)

President Elect Roosevelt Il 0 only has kept his promise to sur prise" the newspaper correspond ents in selecting his Cabinet, but he has surprised many of his par ty leaders, as well.
 In the beginning, the apprehen- sion of these leaders was that most of the men really wanted for cabinet service would find it im- possible to accept,
 Names frequently heard were those of Newton D. Baker and AL bert c. Ritchie, between whom the Presidential nomination probably would have lain had Roosevelt Roosevelt been stopped at Chi cago.
 Yet there has been almost no mention of either of these names in the later emanations from Roosevelt headquarters. And, more interesting still, the friends of both Baker and Ritchie believe they would accept as a patriotic duty, if asked, although neither really wants a Cabinet job.

 Once Lingyuan falls, the Japan csc will command the highway leading straight to 'Jehol City.
 Great Britain, Villain
 Owing to Great Britain having declared an arms embargo, Japan has placed that nation temporarily in the role of villain instead of the United States.
 One Japanese force is reported sweeping down from the far north and is expected to occupy Chih- feng, communication and trans portation center of Jehol, by to- morrow.
 Heavy Bombardment
 The Chinese are reported success fully defending Tamiao against a heavy bombardment. The Chinese contend the Japanese army of the north has been slowed up by bitter weather and bad roads.
 Great Britains embargo against aggressor nations is regretted in China where it is said the Japan ese are already well provided with arms and munitions while China must secure supplies from abroad
