To assure the passage of the posed $2,000,000 additional power bonds, the proposition has been accorded position at the head of questions to be voted on June 5 next. That the measure could be made to carry at that time, under conditions that prevail in the power situation is more than doubtful even were its favored position on the ballot a dozen times more prominent than it 1s.

Much more than desirable location 1s going to be required to induce voters to so far forget themselves and the courtesy due their own intelligence, as to vote for any more power bonds at this time. There is more than an open question whether the better plan for putting the bond issue through would not have been to locate it in such an obscure that only those for it would be likely to find it. Putting it right in plain sight would seem to be tempting fate. For the number of those who are anxious to emphasize their disapproval of the power bureau administration is large and rapidly growing. Proponents of the power bonds have an insurmountable objection to meet in urging this piecemeal method of obtaining the many millions they admit will be required to give Los Angeles what she was promised from the $10,000,000 power bond proceeds already entrusted to officials.

County Horticulture Commissioner Waite said that the rigid inspection demanded by the Ashley standardization law will also result in shipments being curtailed.

Growers and county officials alike think that the standardization law, which will prevent the shipment of any but ripe melons, will be of great benefit to the industry and to Imperial Valley.

Experts have pointed out that the expenditure of $2,227,000 represents more than 22 per cent. of the total amount voted for the power project, yet the city has neither a sufficient electrical generating capacity for its needs nor a decent start on its distributing system, both of which were promised to the voters out of the $10,000,000 voted. Graphic, Dec.

30, 1916: "Some idea of the bond-voting mania, from which taxpayers are now suffering, is indicated by the fact that in 1894 the city owed in 1912 this had increased to $37,602,462.50, in and 1914 it in had run up 1916, A8 above stated, the bond obligation had reached $40,220,525. Where in 1895 the per capita indebtedness of the city was figured at $5.00, it is now in excess of $80.00. Should the proposed issue of $12,000,000 be carried, another $24.00 indebtedness per capita would be assumed by the taxpayers. This means a total per capita indebtedness of $105.00, but these figures are misleading in one particular, and fall completely to indicate the tax burden that is being borne by practically all of the taxpayers, because in recent years the method of special assessment has been adopted by the city for the carrying on of many improvement projects which in former years were borne by the general tax COULTER DRY GOODS Co.

All this was brought out today in the opening of the suit of Mrs.

Everett, who claims she is his legal widow, against the Standard Accident Insurance Company for $7500, amount of a policy which was carried by Francis J. Everett. The defendants maintain that Everett was in reality Cowte, and that Mrs. Cowle, who is still alive and undivorced, it is claimed, is his widow, but cannot lay claim to the insurance money because he had changed his name. Francis J.

Everett left Fergus Falls in 1890, and in 1895 Mrs. Elizabeth Judd at Redlands. Two Redlands men, C. Chapman and W. T.

Bill, knew Cowle at FerFalls, and knew that he was the Everett at Redlands, but never disclosed the secret they knew he was keeping. They will be witnesses in court tomorrow. Cowie wrote an appeal to his wife, but for some reason her reply never reached him, and, thinking that he was unforgiven, he came west to forget his past and start life anew. Mrs. Everett claims that Cowie was divorced between the time that he left Minnesota and when he married her.

Mrs. Cowle will not appear during the suit, but her deposition will be read. Mrs. Everett was on the stand today and her testimony was largely relative to her marriage to Everett. She said she never knew of his past.

Attorneys Raymond W. Stephens and Chandler P. Ward of Angeles are representing the insurance company. PYTHIAN LODGE IS TO BE ORGANIZED.
