OIL TARIFF AID.
POINTED OUT

The tariff on crude oil and
refined products which has been
in effect during virtually all of
the last six months of 1892 has
produced a decline of about "a
per cent in the importation Of
these products as compared with
the six months previous, accord
ing to the T. s. Hose weekly
review of the petroleum industry.
Translated into dollars, Mr..
Hose points out, this means that
the operating companies and the
oil farmers or royalty owners
profited to the extent of $50, ,799,-
936 from the tariff.
AS proof that exports were
not injured as was propheSied,
and that foreign countries will
take only the petroleum products
they cannot get along without,
Mr.. Hose points out, exports
dropped off only 10 per cent, or
translated into barrels of oil for
crude and refined products, IT,
10000 barrels, or $40, 1903, ,776.

praised highly the growth and de-

rial Valley. A resident of this COM

when I lived here" Wood stated,
Imperial was the largest, and, in
fact, the only city of Imperial
county. Holtville had one house
and Ell Centre did not even exist
AS I drove in from the east yester-
day I watched for old land marks
and the only thing I saw which
would have recognized was the
Alamo river. I am amazed at the
growth and development of the
communities of the valley and par
ticularly at the substantial ana
prosperous aspect of the business
buildings, the homes and the cities
as whole.
1.-THE highways, too, are reve-
lation. We had no highays then
in fact we didn't even have roads.
The trip from Imperial to Holtville
was never made the same way twice
and it was made even more diff
cult by the absence of bridges
which made it necessary to cross
the canals and bitches just as best
one could. Your present highways
are splendid. and they, perhaps moro
than any other one thing, have
contributed to the conquering OF
the desert"
Wood, who has been making a
survey in the southwestern states,
says there seems to be a definite
feeling of confidence in all sections

BEDTIME STORIES

He could tell, by the clouds that
there would soon be a shower and
he wanted to get the seeds in and
covered with their warm earth
blanket before the rain fell.
Hopping into his bungalow, IN
Gle Wiggily took from closet
some little paper bags that held
seeds which he had gathered from
dried flowers in his garden the year
before.
Let me see now" said the rab-
bit gentleman as he Looked over
the packets of seeds, what kind
shall I plant this year? Hum,
Bachelors Buttons" he went on,
reading the name on one packet.
Those are good flowers for my
garden. If ever my wife or Nurse
Jane forgets to sew on button
that drops off can go in the gar
den and pick one. Now here are
some seeds that will grow into a
Balloon Vine. Not a half bad idea
to plant some Balloon Vines!''
laughed Mr.. Longears. IF I can't
go up in my airship I can take a
Balloon Vine up to the clouds"
So he went on looking at his
packets of seeds and talking to
himself.
"Um, Castor Plant Seeds" he
murmured. "I'll plant some of them
to be medicine for my little bun
MES if they get sick, though hope
they won't. And here are some
Sweet William seeds. Sweet William
is a pretty flower and it has a
nice name. I'll plant some of them.
And here are some Lady Slipper
seeds. Myl Wouldn't it be funny if
I could grow some Lady Slipper
flowers for Nurse Jane and my wife.
Hal Hal"
Last of all, Uncle Wiggily looked
in an envelope which contained
some black seets, the smallest, fin
est seeds ever gathered-those of
the Petunia flower.
These seeds are so small they
look like grains of black pepper, .
said Uncle Wiggily Il must be care
full not to lose my Petunia seeds. "
The rabbit gentleman gathered
up the packets of seeds and start
ed out to plant them in his garden
before it should rain. He had spad-
ed up the ground and raked il
smooth the day before.
All of a sudden there was noise
at the bungalow door and it sur
prised Uncle Wiggily so much that
he dropped the Petunia seeds.
Now, who made the noise, and
why, I'll tell you tomorrow night
That is, if the baked beans will stop
trying to turn themselves into pop
corn by jumping around in the
talcum powder. The story will be
about Uncle Wiggily and Bunty's
mistake.

THE GOVERNOR'S son

JAMES ROLPH III may know more

The only evidence the people of the

does possess such knowledge.
The father of James Rolph III is
James Rolph Jr., governor Of the State

of the Propeller Club of California IAN
organization which requires nautical eX-
perience and whose personnel is COM
posed only of seafaring men,
Despite the governors high and dis
interested recommendation of his son,
the senate decided to take look into the
matter and see just how much James
III knows of navigation.
The rank and file of Us don't know
whether a knowledge of navigation is
essential to the making OF an efficient
member of the pilot commission but we
do know that it doesn't look any too we'll

as Washington emerged from the

Lighter phases of the passing

It developed that the weighty

week when the Berengaria was
bearing Prime Minister MacDon-

cerned more with the kind OF
clothes to wear in New York than
with affairs of state.
