HULSE PRAISED
FOR AID GIVE. n
STOCK EXHIBIT

The following letter, received by
The Press today, indicates the
strong part played by Senator Ben
HulSe land Imperial Valley cattle
men in providing the means for a
winter livestock show at Los Ange-
les, in which valley cattle are ex-
pected to participate:
June 7, 1885.
Editor,
Imperial Valley Press,
Ell Centro, California
Dear Sir:
The act of legislature in passing
Assembly Bill 1892 sets up a new
agricultural district in Los Angeles
county for the benefit of the Win
ter Stock Show.
The bill was introduced by AS
semblyman Charles Lyon and spon-
sored on the senate floor by Sena-
tor Ben Hulse, whose good stand
ing with the senate had much to
do with the unanimous vote of
that body.
The Imperial Valley livestock
business interests rose up as unit
favoring the bill which undoubted-
ly had a great deal of influence in
justifying the splendid handling of
the matter by Senator Hulse.
When the bill becomes a law it
will place foundation under the
stock show that will be Of tremend-
GUS benefit to the livestock inter-
ests of the west and southwest. We
are ever mindful of the important
part that Imperial Valley played in
the beginning of the stock show by
the feeding out of few calves by
the Future Farmer Boys of the val
ley.
From this very meager beginning
the baby beef industry has grown
into a big thing. The well-bred
calves fattened by those boys were
brought into the market, sold at
auction, and that was really the
beginning of the stock show.
The management of the stock
show fully appreciates the import
ant part played in the whole affair
by Imperial Valley interests.
With deep appreciation for your
interest and support, and with best
wishes always, remain
Yours very truly,
J. A. McNaughton,
Chairman-Executive Committee.

DISTRICT
CASES BEFORE
LOCAL COURT
Outside Judge Here To Preside
Over Power Company c Suit
And Other Actions

With Judge B. F. Warmer, San
Bernardino, presiding, trial of the
damage action brought by Herbert
Fulton against the irrigation dis
trict will open in superior court
here tomorrow morning. Fulton is
asking damages of $25, 900 against
the district directors, M. j. Dowd,
superintendent, and Sam Duren,
division superintendent for injuries
alleged to have been received when
his car went through bridge
over canal belonging to the dis
trict.
This accident happened three
miles north and a half mile east of
Westmorland on September 90,
1893. The complaint states that a
bridge had been washed out over
the canal at that point. No guard
rails or warning signs had been
placed here, according to the COM
plant and as a consequence Fulton
lost his left eye and suffered paral-
ysis of the face and other injuries
when his car went through the
gap and into the canal below.
Judge Warmer will also preside
at three other hearings relating to
district matters, one to follow the
Fulton case, the other two to be
heard this afternoon.
The first of these is the injunc-
ton proceedings brought by the
Southern SierraS Power company
against the district to prevent the
installation OF machinery in a pro-
posed standby power plant in
J BraWley. This action will be tried
here later this week. 1t is similar
in practically every respect to the
action brought by the Nev-Cal cor
poration in federal court.
The two other cases, one brought
by the district against the Security
Title Insurance and Guaranty
company, and the other with G. w.
Sugden and estate as defendants,
are to quiet title to certain real
property in the valley. They are
both default hearings.
In an order signed by Judge
Warmer this morning it is decreed
that the irrigation district deposit
the sum of $162.40 with the clerk
of the court and then take immed-
late possession of right of way
a strip of land 10 feet wide across
section 81, TIPS, R11E. The South
ern Pacific railroad company was
named defendant in this action.

anese troops and armored cars were
sent today to Yangtsun, on the
Tientsin-Peiping Railway, where
evacuating Chinese troops were re-
ported to have burned a japanese
military telephone pole.
Col. Takashi Sakai, commander
of the japanese garrison here and
chief of staff of the japanese
Northern China army, was return
ing from Peiping by motor car
when he saw the pole in flames.
He saw Chinese troops, of the force
now evacuating TientSin at Japans
demand, fleeing from the scene, he
said.
Sakai sped up his car to racing
speed and came here to report to
his chief, Gen. Yoshijiro Umezu,
commanding the northern army.
Umezu dispatched the troops at
once. He ordered them to investi-
gate and report to him.
While the troops were going to
Yangtsun, 30 miles from Tientsin,
seven great japanese armored trucks
rlnnbled through the narrow,
steaming, streets of the native city,
aweing the populace. Occasionally
they bumped into ricksha, or
tore down one of the gaudy adver-
tising banners outside a shop.
They passed a detachment of
Chinese policemen while Maj. Gen.
Ii Yi-Shu, the new commander of
police sent here at Japan's de-
mand, was inspecting them.
Many foreigners and Chinese be-
lieve that no steps, however con-
ciliatory, by China will satisfy the
Japanese.
The Tientsin-Peiping area Of
China already is part of the north
ern demilitarized zone in every
thing but name. None of the
Chinese troops are in the main sec
ton of the city and japanese
troops are in evidence everywhere.
