A COMPLIMENT
ON THE CAMPAIGN

The August primary election is over.
1T was carried through in a way that
should win the gratitude of the long
suffering voter for every candidate who
took part in Imperial county's vote
getting campaigns 1t was, in other
words, one of the cleanest elections ever
held in Imperial county. If anyone de-
serves anything but praise, it is the
Average Voter himself-because he neg
lected to such wholesale extent his
privilege of voting
In spite of the light vote, it is safe to
say that the results are those most sat
isfactory to the greatest number of per-
sons. In Imperial county the only re-
gret is that Elmer w. Heald was not
accorded the Republican nomination for
congress. Heald, however, should derive
personal satisfaction from the over
whelming majority his own county gave
him.
1t is logical reasoning that the men
who could keep their campaigns on the
high standard disclosed prior to last
Tuesday will make good public officers.
For that reason, wholehearted congratu-
lations are due the winners-and COM
pliment to the losers for their good
craftsmanship.

WASHINGTON-You can put it down in

that Gov. Alf NJ. Landon's hegira to West
Middlesex was the darndest thing of the whole
campaign.
AS a sporting event it was greater than the
Olympic Games and as the opening Salyo of

that may put the smiling KanSan in secure
place a public hero who understands plain

POWER-BUT NO PROPAGANDA
WALL Street J0uruaD

Advance publicity about the Third World
Power Conference and Second Congress on
Large Dams, to meet in Washington, September
to IL, promises that it will be "colorful." Fur
ther information is vouchsafed that TOO foreign
and 300 home delegates are to discuss "all sides
of the question growing up around public and
private policies" on which "the thoughts of the
leading experts of the world will be presented
on basis of frank discussion, without resort
to personalities, politics or propaganda
So, the world power conference is provided
with a sterilized agenda. No personalities, no
politics, no propaganda. Nothing but pure eco
Monies and engineering science. Governors of
16 states, the "hand-out" ayers, have already
appointed official representatives and a dozen
other states will send officials of their public
utility commissions. Still other states will be
represented by business men, university pro-
feSsors, "etc" The conference is sponsored and
financed jointly by the private electrical indus
try and the Government of the United States;
elsewhere in the announcement reference is
made to "the utility industry which has joined
the Government in sponsoring the conference"
Naturally the conference may be expected
to take up engineering problems. One such
comes to mind, which might be described as
problem in theological engineering, namely, how
to hold frank discussion of power in Wash
ington this year without resort to personalities,
politics or propaganda. solution for that

YELLOWSTONE PARK, Wyo.,
Oct. 20 0.N.S)-An unprece-
denied volume of travellers passed
through Yellowstone Park during
the 1896 season, according to
figures compiled by park officials
at the end of the summer.
The season was unusually long
because Of early thaws which per
mitted the opening Of automobile
highways several weeks earlier
than usual and a late fall which
permitted travel through the park
until late this month.
The total number of visitors as
determined by park records was
432,570, as compared with 317,998
in 1895. The 1886 season was the
third consecutive year in which
previous records were broken.
BY far the largest group of Wis
itors were those who came by au-
tomobile. Their number was 409,-
078, in 123,413 vehicles, as COM
pared with 297 ,581 who came to
the park in S9,607 cars last year.

ROPER EXPECTS
u. 5. TRADE
BALANCE

Although imports exceeded ex-
ports by more than $33, 900, 900
during the first nine months of
this year, Commerce Department
officials were confident today the
United States would record a IA
Vorable trade balance for 1896.
The outflow Of American goods
has been greater than the inflow
Tor many years, even during the
recent economic slump, and Off
Gals saw no cause for alarm in
latest trade statistics. For the first
nine months of 1885 the Ameri-
can export volume was $66, 900, 900
above imports, while at the close
Of the year a favorable trade bal
ance Of $235 900 was recorded.
Roper Optimistic
Secretary Of Commerce Roper
predicted the current unfavorable
balance probably will be wiped out
by heavy shipments of cotton, to-
bacco and automobiles during the
next two or three months.
One Of the contributing causes
to the rise in imports this year
has been the drought. Officials
said this forced the purchase
abroad Of number Of agricultural
commodities, particularly wheat
and meats.
Although imports of q number
OF commodities such as raw silk
and crude rubber decreased in
volume, American purchasers were
forced to pay higher prices this
year. This was another factor in
raising the 1895 import value, the
Commerce Department estimating
that approximately 100000, 900
increase in imports this year was
due to higher prices.
, Total $500 Millions
From January to September ex-
ports were valued at $1,732,314, 900
and imports $1,765, 450, 900. An
excess Of imports prevailed from
May to September, when exports
again forged ahead if imports by
$4,000, 1000.
Roper looked to the recent cur
rency sterilization agreement
among world powers as a factor
which may raise the total volume
Of commerce to prosperity levels.

Heliodon, to Permit Designs Prouiding
Maximum Heat and Light, Built
at Columbia.

An artificial sun" which will enable
architects to design buildings more
scientifically. achieving maximum
solar light and heat in Winter and
maximum shade in Summer, has been
constructed in the Town Planning
Studio of the Columbia University
School of Architecture, it is announced
by Dean Leopold Arnaud.
The new instrument, called a hello
don, will be used on models of pro-
posed dwellings to determine how
they should face, where windows
should be located, and where shade
trees should be planted, it was
explained by Dean Arnaud. Sir Ray
mond Unwin, director of the Town
Planning Studio, will be in charge of
the studies.
Economy in heating costs can be
effected by placing the house in the
most advantageous relation to the sun,
Dean Arnaud asserted. While archi-
=tects have been able to plot the angle
at which the sun strikes a building at
any given hour, experiments with the
heliodon indicate that the task will
in the future be more simple and the
results more accurate. he explained.
The heliodon is spotlight that
may be moved up and down on
shaft according to the months of the
year. The light is focused on a
platform, mounted on smaller shaft
8 feet away. which holds a miniature
model of the proposed construction
made of plaster, wood or cardboard

with small green sponges for trees.
The platform is tilted until its
position in relation to the artificial
sun corresponds to- that of the pro-
posed buildings latitude. BY revolving
the platform. whose shaft is marked
according to hours, the amount of
sunlight and shade on the building
during the day and at any time of
the year can be studied.

Arnaud predicted that the heliodon
would be used increasingly in the
designing of housing developments and
in town planning. 1t also will be use
full in the study of coming restrictions,
he added, since it can be adjusted to
show the amount of shadow cast by
one edifice on another.

Election Slows Up Market
Slightly, but Effect Is
D. Seen Temporary.
VOLUME RISES STEADILY
r DURING TWO YEARS
Builders Erecting Dwellings at
Rapid Pace, Indicating Con-
Z, fidence in Future.
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

The coming election has had the
effect of slowing up slightly the
Washington real estate market in
the last few weeks, although there
is some division of opinion on the
subject among the city's larger brok-
ers. Realty experts are confident,
however. that regardless of the out
come of November balloting business
will continue to be exceedingly brisk
here.
Washington's realty market has
been climbing steadily the last two
years toward the volume of pre- -depres-
sion days. This march has been I'M
marked by even temporary halts.
This fact leads some of the brokers to
view a prediction slump as assur-
ance of the future health of the mar
ket. The best sign for continued
good business in the Capital is the
fact that from buyers standpoint
1t is the time to purchase property as
prices have not risen in proportion
to business transacted, and is still
Q long way from the average level
of the 1920s.
An indication of the confidence of
people who know real estate in Wash
ington is the fact that the builders
are erecting dwellings at fast pace.
It is probable that construction this
month will exceed the total for Oc-
tober, 1895. which was one of the
best months in a year that saw the
erection of nearly 1000 homes in the
District alone. Despite the great
number of dwelling units added this
year and last. apartment houses are
still crowded, the last report showing
, less than per cent residential va
cancies.
Middleton Sees Increases.
F. Eliot Middleton, president of the
Washington Real Estate Board, who
is considered an astute Judge of con-
ditions. declares that real estate is
still far from its peak. He believes
the next year will bring even greater
activity than the last, and that the
election will have little, if any, effect
on it.
Prospects are very bright in our
