SENATE KILLS
 PROPOSAL FOR
 SINGLE HOUSE
Merger of Legislature Into One Body Turned Down
 by Vote of Six to Two

The Senate wrote defeat and finis to the one-house Legislature plan for this session today when by vote of six to two it failed to pass Joe Greens memorial ask ing that the Senate and House be combined into one group. Senators Walker and Roden voted for the measure. Opposing were Hess, Frawley. Devine, Powers, Campbell and BIunelle
 The House proposal to give the licuor committees of the two houses $500 for expenses was re-referred to committee by the Senate with instructions to make it include all committees. senator Campbell sounded a warning that $5,000 rath- CT than $500 would more likely be needed if all committees were going to be allowed to draw on the sum.
 Mining Tax Bill
 A new mining tax measure made it's appearance in the Senate to- day, the second of it's kind to be introduced before the Legislature. It was brought in by Senator Campbell and provides for a levy on gold mining of one per cent on the gross production of $20000 to Sl0O,00 with a graduating scale up to s500,0oO0, over which the levy would be one per cent of the net income over Sl0000 up to $500,- GOO; one and a half per cent up to q million and one and three quarters per cent on net income over million
 New Measures
 Three other bills were introduced in the upper house, Senator Pow CTS offering two and Walker pre- senting his. substitute. proposal re- garding carelessness with firearms. The first Powers measure provides for advertising lost property and the other for keeping records by secondhand dealers.
 The Senate after a brief session adjourned to 1:30 tomorrow. The House, meeting late due to the Chamber of Commerce luncheon at which the membership was guests, did not start it's deliberations until a late hour this afternoon.

Turkey Scarce
For Prisoners
I'm Jail Here

Guests in the county jail may
regret the miSsteps which will keer
them in Jail over Thanksgiving
more than usual this year. 1t is
possible that there will be no tur-
key, no pumpkin pie, maybe not
even any cranbery sauce for coun-
ty prisoners this year.
Food is high this year, bemoans
Ernie Cox, deputy sheriff in charge
of the kitchen, and the budget Just
doesn't want to stretch far enough
to include the Thanksgiving deli
cacies which usually go to all good
prisoners.
Hope springs eternal, however,
and Cox is still haggling with COB
bier merchants with the hope that
somebody will talk turkey on terms
which will make the American roy
al bird an item ON the jail's holi-
day menu.
Benin dthe bars the county's
roomers await news of the turkey
bargaining outcome. Withholding
their turkey looks like fowl play to
the star boards.

Hardshipsof
Early Years
Now RetoId

A train stopped in the waSteland
while freight men threw off sew
eral boxes. The train chugged off
across the desert from Flowing
wells. A lone figure, rifle over the
crook of his arm as a guard against
marauding coyotes, took the boxes
and slowed them in a dusty tent.
A wagon rumbled across 35 miles
of trackless desert from what is
now Imperial. Pulling up his horses
beside the tent, man climbed
down from the seat. Hi joe he
greeted the supply guard, did the
train throw off our stuff"
The men chatted, smoked a
couple of hand-rolled cigarettes,
and then loaded the wagon. As
the sun sank behind the mountains
to the west they discussed their
dream of water for these arid
plains, growing crops, and pros
pering farms.
Back to Imperial
At daybreak the next day the
wagon started back on its long trip
over the prairie. Late in the af-
ternoon it pulled into a settlement
of canvas tents. -Four or five shell
ters and canvas hotel comprised
the city, Imperial.
Embarrassing his team before the
tent which he called home, the man
unloaded his wagon. A second
pioneer came from the interior and
helped him carry the supplies in
side.
Eagerly the two broke open the
box of luxuries. They found sew
eral cans of bully beef, several
more of tomatoes, and two cans
of bread. Like two boys they
capered around the stores.
Over an open campfire the two
boiled their beef and steWed a pot
of tomatoes. On tin plates they
served up the food, putting a thick
slice of the canned bread on each
dish.
Sitting before the upended box
which served as table the men
bowed their heads.
For what we have received thls
Thanksgiving day, we thank Ihee'
one of them murmured, humoly
devout.
This was Thanksgiving IN I'M
perial Valley, 1901.

ARMORED FISH
CAST ON ROCKS
OF WISCONSIN

MADISON, Wis UP)-Strange
skeletal remnants of monsters ex-
listing 40,000,000 years ago have been
collected for the University of Wis
consin geological museum from De-
vonian rock scattered along Mil
waukee county park roads by WPA
workers.
Gilbert o. Raasch, curator learn
ing that WPA workmeN deepening
the Milwaukee River to prevent
floods were digging out rock of the
Devonian age, or the "age of fishes,
obtained hundreds of specimens on
the project site and along the roads
where the rock from it was distribu-
ted. His finds included remains of
scales from the ancient sluggish
water beasts, segments of cutting
bones which served them as teeth,
parts of fin and dorsal spines, and
portions of the hard skull places
which armored the first back-boned
animals known to the world.
Retreat of the Devonian sea some
40,000,000 years ago left imbedded in
the last Wisconsin rock formation
to be laid down the remains of the
dominating water life of the period
comprising some 40 varieties of fish
animals, according to geological in
terpretations explained by Raasch.
The large size attained by some of
the animals is demonstrated by a
reconstructed skull in a Bufaflo mu-
scum which is large enough for a
man to crawl through its jaws, he
said,

BRITAIN PLANS
NATIONWIDE
GAME DRILLS

LONDON. U.P)-A scheme to keep
millions of men, women and chill
dren well and happy by physical eX-
ercise in classes costing from 5 to
10 cents each is being prepared by
hundreds of welfare and physical
culture organizations throughout
Britain.
Every village, small town and city
in the British Isles will be brought
within the scope of the scheme.
1t owes its origin to the Central
Council of Recreative Physical
Training, an unofficial voluntary
body, supported by the Board Of
Education.
"A nationwide survey by the
council revealed that less than 10
per cent of The population took part
in physical drill Or games. and that
the system of physical drill for the
unemployed urgently needed reor-

dav to fatten them for the holiday
market by Mr.. and Mrs. j. w.
Ingle, owners of the farm, south
east of Holtville about five miles.
The turkeys will soon be ready
for the ak, and will grace the
Christmas and New Years tables
of Southern California. The Ingles
do not plan to sell many for the
Thanksgiving market this year.
Remarkable Growth
A remarkable growth has been
shown by the toms, hatched April
% of this year, which average 20
to % pounds a bird. The hens
average II pounds bird for the
same seven months growth.
Use of scientific methods is Civ
en- by the Ingles for their success.
Mr.. Ingle has been in the poultry
business for the past 35 years, six
years in the valley.
"We have the best turkey equip
ment in the state, 1 believe" Ingle
said. 1T cost us $4,000 but my
books will show that scientific
methods pay in the end. A ranch
er will lose 25 per cent in feeding
alone by not housing his birds
properly. and will lose probably 25
per cent of his birds from disease.
Climate Aids
Climatic conditions here are as
they are anywhere else. The range
of temperature is great enough that
live stock of any kind stands a
chance of suffering from cold at
night unless it is properly housed
The valley is one of the finest
places in the world to raise tur-
keys, Ingle believes. Other large
poultry raisers have been investi-
eating the possibilities, recently, he
said, and most of them seem
afraid of the heat.
Mortality of turkeys is less
here" Ingle said "They do not
fatten SO fast in summer, but the
heat won't hurt them if they have
plenty of water, and shade"
The wife and 1" turkey ranch
has. some 1000 laying hens, and
sells 10000 eggs a year for hatch
ing purposes. The price for their
Matching eggs ranges from 20 cents
to II cents an egg, depending on
the season. They also sell a large
number of "poults" as the baby
turkeys are called, and these range
from as cents to 25 cents each.
Accurate Accounting
Turkey producers estimate their
net profit from 25 cents to S1.50
bird, depending on the rancher.

The rapidly nearing completion
of the All American canal assumes
major proportions as an appropri-

Special Reasons
These special reasons will be

Valley Preparing for Great
American Holiday Festival

Imperial Valley prepared today
TO celebrate the most American of
all holidays, Thanksgiving Day.
Business men, laborers, grocers
and others in all walks of life
found Thanksgiving prospects
brighter than for many seasons.
Business is on the upgrade, en-
ployment has increased-prosperi-
ty, they agree, is no longer around
The corner.
The frightened prospects result
ed in widespread plans for greater
observance of the day by valley
families.

Home and fireside will resume
their place as the setting for the
closer and deeper ties of family
known by Americas home-loving
forefathers when families and
friends gather at the ThankSgiv-
ing table Thursday.

STAGE SET
TO START Big
TUBE PROJECT

PHI II,ADELPHIA. W.P-Construc-
tion of a s15,OO0,O00 vehicular tun-
mel under the Delaware River con-
Meeting Pennsylvania and New Jer-
sew lust south of the Philadelphia
co,1ntv line, will begin Immediately
if the project if approved by army
engineers.
The tube, which would be the
longest four-lane underwater tun-
mel in the world, would provide a
river crossing at point approx
mately halfway between the Phlla-
,delphia- Camden bridge and the
Chester, Pa Bridgeport, N. j. Ter
ries, 20 miles down the river.
Verus T. Ritter, president OF the
Delaware River Tunnel Corporation,
estimated that 5000 men would be
employed on the project Tor per-
iod of from two and half to three
years.
Plans call for the pre-dredged
trench method of construction. Al
ter a trough is dug in the bottom OF
the river. concrete sections, fitted
with water-tight bulkheads would
be floated to the desired location
and sunk.
Under water they would be fitted
and sealed together, and then cover
ed with silt dredged from the trench.
The tunnel would be laid in 240-foot
sections to leave open at least 800
feet of the river channel to allow
ample room for navigation during
the period of construction.
The completed tube would be D.
987 feet long, according to plans OF
the corporation. Two large ventila-
ton towers would be located on the
river banks. Land for the two en-
frances already has been obtained

Keeping an accurate set of books
is advocated by Ingle. Each day
he posts his books, and by expert
menting with certain conditions he
constantly seeks better methods OF
breeding, feeding, etc.
Cleanliness is observed in all
operations about the ranch. From
their own artesian well water is
piped to all parts of the farm.
Feed trays, pens and yards are
Kept clean.
Poults from the winter hatch
which will come off February and
March of next year will be placed
in the main house, about $50 to a
room. There are 20 rooms, 10 on
each side of an alley way. Each
pen has its own private yard.
Part of the equipment includes
an electric incubator with 23,0OO
egg capacity. The poults are
placed in heated brooders. The
Ingles grow much of their own
feed, and have their own mill for
grinding, and they mix their own
formula.
Alfalfa Seed
The hens feed on alfalfa, but
all fields are fenced. The Ingles
do not allow any of their turkeys
to range.
At night the lane in front of the
pens is lighted by electricity, and
a watchman looks after the flock
to prevent either two-legged or
four-legged thief from making
away with any of the birds. Neigh
bors say the ranch looks like a
city lighted up at night and call it
Ingleville.

Business conditions in Imperial
Valley were reported as much as
25 per cent better than last year
in a survey of merchants made by
the Imperial Valley Press and
Morning Post over the weekend
Managers in almost every line OF
business agreed that this is the
best business year in the last five.
Of all types of stores surveyed,
groceries in Ell Centro and CaleXico
were the only ones who found bus
mess no better. The cause was at
tributed to a large reduction in the
number of SERA grocery orders.
Food stores in other valley cities
found this loss more than COM
pensated for by the increased buy
ing power of their customers.
Reasons Given
Better financial condition and
many more people working were
the reasons generally given for in
creased sales by merchants from
all types of business in Ell Centre,
Brawley, Calexico, and Holtville.
All business men canvaSsed were
unanimous in their expectations OF
a heavy holiday business.
A condensed table of merchants
replies tabulated attitudes follows:
GROCERIES
Ell Centro-Business better than
ever in regard to individual buy
ing power but not up enough to
compensate for the discontinuance
of SERA grocery orders yet.
