localities Of the state. There are nu-

from the cold fogs and moist laden at

SECRETARY OF INTERIOR TO
SUBDIvIDE AND UTILIZE

Another Big Reclamation Project to
Be Carried on by the General
Government.

The recent action of congress in
passing Senator Bard's amendment to
the Indian bill has put another definite
task upon the reclamation service.
The secretary of the interior is now
authorized to subdivide and utilize the

great American Nile" is thus assured
The plans to irrigate these lands
have long been regarded with special
favor in Southern California. The
chamber of commerce in Los Angeles
and other cities were, indeed, nothing

The passage of Senator Bard's
amendment is especially interesting, as
it is now possible for the secretary of
the interior to carry ont an agreement
made with the Indians years ago to the
effect that their lands might be sub
divided and irrigated by a private cor
poration. Suitable laws We're passed.

DANGER OF DOUBLE ELECTORAL
TICKET THREATENING TO
VOTE FOR ROOSEVELT.
Possibility of the State Being Added
to the Democratic Column at
Election.

all the reaSSuranceS conveyed by stall
wart leaders, there is still danger of a
double electoral ticket in Wisconsin
A situation is threatened which will
vet require the good offices of the
national committee or some outside
authority to save the states vote
for Roosevelt this fall.
The thirteen Republican candidates
for presidential electors now in the
field are all La Toilette men, They
We're first named by the stalwart con-
rention by General WinkIer. who got
them nominated on the plea that the
party, divided on state issues, must
Roosevelt.
Later it was discovered that under
the state law the names could not go
on both tickets, but the candidates
must elect on which ticket they would
serve. Up to date nine of the thir
teen have been heard from. and all
have elected to go on the La Toilette
ticket. 1t is presumed that the other
four will follow suit.
The stalWarts, who have the fight
won as far as this convention is con-
cerned, expect with that prestige to
win out in their injunction proceed
Ings before the supreme court. In
that event their ticket will be the reg
ular Republican ticket, bearing the
party name. and the stalwart leaders
say that such a ticket must carry
thirteen candidates for presidential
elector. If all the thirteen now nom
mated should all elect to go on the
La Toilette ticket the stalWarts must
dominates thirteen more.
Congressman Edward Minor stall
Wart leader, has openly advocated this
program. AS he is very close to the
inner councils of the faction. ne IS
believed to be speaking by the card.

RAILROADS OFFER CHEAP
RATES TO IRRIGATORS

FL Paso, Tex, Oct 8.-Rcpresenta-
tives OF the passenger departments of
the nine railways leading into this city
attended the last meeting OF the South
western Irrigation Association and re-
ported the progresssa that had been
made in securing low rates to the Ma
tional Irrigation Congress, which
meets in this city Nov 1918.
Notice from E. P. Turner, general
passenger agent OF the Texas & Pa
cifc railway, stated that he was pre-
pared to offer rate Of one fare for the
round trip from all points in Texas,
with the maximum of SIS as far east
as Terrell and Sherman.
Gentry Waldo, local passenger agent
OF the Southern Pacific, announced
that Col. 7. J. Anderson, general agent
OF his line, had arranged to sell round
trip tickets from all points in Texas
for the price OF one fare. with the
maximum OF Sis as far east as Hous-
ton. &~. ...r
The FL Paso & Southwestern rail-
way, through its passenger agent, v.
r. Stiles, served notice that tickets to
FL Paso from all points in Arizona,
etc, would be sold for the congress for
two-thirds OF one fare for the round
trip.
General Passenger Agent A. N.
Brown, of the Chicago, Rock Island &c
Pacific, stated that his road had not
yet fixed the final rates for the con-
vention. but they would be as low as
the lowest, and local rate of one
fare for the round trip would be given.
Other roads will announce their
rates at an early date, the Santa Fe

be deducted from the total time. The
competitors are not allowed to make
any supplies while in control.
From Hicksville the course is over
the Massapequa road, very narrow
but in fair condition otherwise, An
other railroad crossing Is to be met
mere but there are only a few trains
that pass each day and this is not re-
garded as a great Interference. At
Queens there are two turns and a
short one-eighth of mile connecting
road, as the circuit does not meet
there. Though there is, plenty of
quire reduction of speed. The con-
Meeting road is crossed by the main
line of the Long Island railroad, over
which there is almost continuous ira
7fic. The road itself is narrow and is
in bad shape. The nome stretch is
over the Jericho pike. At Floral Park
there is a sharp down grade under a
railroad bridge, and up again on the
other side. This piece of road is made
more difficult because of the curves
approaching and leaving the Dip AT
ter this the course to the finish line is
wide and smooth and the grades are
slight. 7|-f3.-
1t is calculated by experts that the
average speed for the 900 odd miles
viii be close to mile minute, but
the slowing down for turns and con-
trolls will draw out the race and it will
probably be the middle OF the after
noon or latter before the last car has
passed the finish line. S4
The trophy for which the machines
are competing is known as the William
Il. Vanderbilt, jr. Cup. It is a mas
sive piece of silversmithing. 1t is of
classic form and the decorations are
simple. It stands 81 inches high and
contains 48r ounces of sterling silver.

Mercedes is engraved in bold relief

CHICAGO EMPLOYERS
FIND AN OLD LAW

Chicago, Ocf. The Chicago EN-
ployers' Association through Attorney
Dudley Taylor, brought into operation
a law that has lain dormant for years.
by which, it is believed, picketing, viol-
erce and crippling of industries by
strike can be prevented It is "an act
to prohibit any person from obstruct-
ing the regular operation and conduct of
the business of any railroad company or
other corporation, firm or individual" !"
Under this measure, Attorney Taylor
contends, employers may proceed against
pickets without necessity of injunctions
and have the guilty persons held to the
grand jury by examining magistrates.
The law which was put upon the stat
rte books of Illinois in 1877 was applied
for the first time in connection with
violence. growing out of trades union
ism when three members Of the Jani-
tors Union were arraigned on a charge
sof attacking q norl-urlion janitor in a
doWn-toWn Office.

The girls also charge that they were
paid commission for bringing other
girls into the places and that altogether
some forty girls have been the victims
of the traffic. All are said to be from
I2 to IA years Of age. \
There was wild excitement in Celes-
tial circles this afternoon over the ar
rests. The brothers Lee and Sing were
first brought IN and lookup alley was
sought BY an excited group of almond
eyed syinpathizers. But when Moy Jim
was arrested later, the situation became
too tense for expression in any language
whatever, for Moy Jim is the king bee
5Chinaman in Minneapolis.
The police are fully awake to the
startling nature of the case and now that
they have taken action, will push the
matter Arrangements viii be made

pike at Westb,lry and conducted Sone
