143 r. 81 to LA r. 3.
1t is interesting to note that |
Clemow does not state that he re- |
ceived any of the $15,63O.93 which |
Wenger paid for the land sold by
Dummy Clemow to Wenger. The
other admission as to the failure
to pay anything for the land and
that they were agents
Of Gilbert seems sufficient
proof that this money along with
the amounts received on the mort
cages went to the First National
Bank of Dillon.
j. H. Gilbert answered separate
~, LAT r. 1 to 1852 r. 2. He de-
MES that the deceased owned the
lots in the town of Wisdom. 148
r. II. This is interesting in con-
nection with the inventory filed by
himself and hereafter discussed.
He admits:
"That when the defendants
petition for the probate of the
will of said deceased was filed
in the District Court of Bea-
verhead County, the plaintiff
was a minor, 9 years of age,
and resided in said BeaVerhead
County, Montana, but this de-
PENDANT is without knowledge
whether notice of said petit
ton, or the hearing of said
petition was given to the
plaintiff"
$50 r. 2 to z.
Proceeding, Gilbert admits that
he knew the residence of Judge
Poindexter at Honolulu, Hawaiian
Islands, "but this defendant is
without knowledge whether notice
of the filing of said petition or the
hearing thereof was given to said
J. B. Poindexter." $50 R. IL
Also,
"But this defendant is with
out knowledge whether a copy
of any notice of the time ap-
pointed for the probate of the
will or said decedent was ever
addressed to said heirs, or any
of them, or to said J. B. Poin-
dexter, or deposited in the
post office, and is without
knowledge whether or not per-
sonal service ten days before
such hearing, or for any other
time, or at all, on any Of said
heirs or the said Poindexter."
Gle took it for granted and
assumed that all legal re-
quirements as to procedure
had been met and complied
with"
152 R. 16.
He admits that the defendant;
Alfred N. Peterson and George N
| Clemow, submitted to him as sue
executor the bids mentioned an
referred to in the 18th paragraph
of the complaint, and he also ad
mits that neither the said Alfre
N. Peterson or the said GeOrg
| M. Clemow made any payments t
the said estate of William Mon
gomery, deceased, nor to the d.
PENDANT, Gilbert, as execute
thereof. 155 R. 25.
He admits:
"And the said sales were
made for the purpose of en-
abling the said banks to OBJ
tain by a loan on said lands
a part of the moneys then due
and owing them from and by
said estate"
1876 R. %.
He admits that neither the sa
Alfred N. Peterson nor the sa
George M. Clemow, received ar
money on said loans but it w;
received by said First Nation
Bank Of Dillon and said Da

MUCH IS At STAKE IN THE
RAILROAD HEARING

One of the most important events IN
progress of the district power develop
ment program IS the hearing now being
conducted in El Centro before Leon o.
Whitsell. California railroad commits
sioner. The question at issue is far more
important than might appear on the
surface. The immediate subject is tech
nicality of a Southern Sierras Power
company rule, which stipulates that ru-
raj consumers must pay the cost OF
bringing light and power to consumers
property The power company IS re-
questing that the railroad commission
permit them to bring such power lines To
consumers without making charge Tor
the construction of the lines. This ap-
pears innocent enough, but grant OF
permission would be more far reaching
than is Immediately evident. In the last
analysis the question is whether the rail-
road commission will aid the power COM
pany in ieopardizing the entire district
power development program. The power
company plan would permit rural con-
sumers in selected areas to receive power
and light at a low cost. installation
would be made possible by government
loan. It is logical that the government
would hesitate to make another such
loan to the district to compete with the
power company Such would only en-
danger the repayment of the loan to the
power company The federal agency
would be in the position Of loaning mon
ey to two competitors in death strug-
gle. No matter which side wins, the loser
could not pay off his debt. If the power
company wins the present contest before
the railroad commission it would be IN
position to complete its deal for gov
ernment money before the district thus
seriously threatening the districts posi-
ton. The situation is serious and I'M
perial Valley presents q united front IN
opposing the Southern Sierras plan.

RAIN AND MUD AND
STORM SEWERS.

Everytime there IS ram, EI CentTo
streets appear as if mud instead Of
water fell from the skies. Here and
there is revived talk of the need for
storm sewer drainage. No subject is
more deserving of serious consideration.
The price the community is paying for
existing conditions is spread through
every purse and pocketbook.
Visitors to El Centro are aghast that
such "a condition is allowed to exist. Stag
nant water ruins shoes, clothes, and
paving Housewives stay inside the home
and hesitate to go forth shopping. When
the water dries, dust covers store-keep-
ers' merchandise and permeates house
hold furniture. Someday this unsightly
and unsanitary condition must be rem
edied if Ell Centre is to continue its
growth. Why not face it now?

WASHINGTON - Several things happened
backstage after the mass attack IN the Senate on
Chairman Gerald Nye and the munitions COM
mittee
Whereas it had appeared almost certain that
the investigation would be stopped in its tracks,
four days later the committee was confident that
it could obtain an additional appropriation and
conclude the inquiry in an orderly manner
These developments were responsible for that:
/ The mail both to members and enemies
of the committee indicated strong public re-
action against suppression OF the munitions m
vestigation.
2 The force of arguments by Nye and Senator
Bennett Clark of Missouri began to sink in on
many senators who at first had been swayed by
attacks on the two after Nye said woodrow Will
son had "falsified.
5 Reports arrived that Communications in
the Mddlewest, Scandinavian Americans in the
Northwest, and Irish Americans in the Northeast
were becoming ineensed at what they considered
an attempt to throttle war evidence at the Brit
ish government. These reports scared certain
important adminiStrationiteS.
4 Senators were told that they would be mon
keying with dynamite if they voted against the
investigation and that certain committee men,
bers might stir UP national scandal by airing
suppressed evidence on the Senate floor.

who had been absent in Washington state, re-
turned and poured large quantities of oil on

CONGRATULATIONS ON
THE PRESIDENTS BALL.

Every so often, men and women lead
ers in a community receive assignments
which involve a lot of work and time
in connection with public enterprise re-
turning the worker no immediate per-
sonal reward These people accept such
responsibilities as an obligation to the
community in which they live. Tasks of
this nature include countless charity and
community events during years time,
the most recent example of which was
the Presidents Ball held Thursday night.
No local person benefited directly in
staging this affair. 1t was in behalf of
worthy cause, and many including chair
man D. L. linn gave of their time and
effort in making it the success that it
was. Ell Centro extends them and such
others who similarly give of themselves
throughout the years events, congratula-
tions and thanks.

It would be an excellent idea if the Congress
CT the United States were to adjourn for month
or two. and undertake an investigation of the
fiscal policies of Kansas.
Kansas has no state debt. It has fine
road system developed on the "pay-as-y -you-go
plan, as were all ether public improvements 1t
has magnificent new capitol building. 1t has
first-class schools. And it has few of the special
or nuisance taxes that afflict most other
commonwealths
Today American people of all occupations
and all income levels are coming to realize that
their greatest enemy is high taxes-and that
their greatest problem is taxation The Federal
government has been spending about twice its
receipts for several years, and has added billions
to the national debt, setting al-time record.
A large number of states have followed this
suicidal example. The result has been frightened
capital, discouraged investors Industrial retro
gresson, unemployment and foreclosures
There isn't person in this country who
wouldn't benefit from tax reduction-and the
persons of small and average means who are
most interested in employment and industrial
expansion and home-budng, would benefit
most of all.
Balance budgets and reduce taxation, should
become household slogan.

While that man and millions like
him are eating their very souls

are busy building personal political
fences SO they can be reelected to
office. Instead of paying serious
attention to the common mans
problem they are oggling votes by
any kind of legislation at all. They
are furiously calling each other
bad names and offering to fight
for their own good names.
These glorious representatives CT
the common people are polishing
up the old halo and conjuring new
and wonderful promises that can
be broken after the victory is won.

P. G.. Wodehouse has become No.
l author of humorous novels for
American audiences. Chiefly be-
cause crack native humorists confine
themselves to short stories, articles

man, the noble and stole Jeeyes. Yet
the most hilarious English butler
