the city yesterday from Yuma, says
a strike of the teamsters at the La
guna dam site has delayed work since
the middle of last week. The men
with their teams who had been work
ing for ten and twelve hours at 81 a
day demanded an eight hour day and
So pay. The grading contract is held
by the J. G. White company of Los

TOO MUDDY TO USE-Although
today is the regular time for the wa
ter to be turned into the irrigating
bitches none vii be used, the city au-
.thorities deem it inadvisable on ac-
count of its muddy condition. An eX-
pense of about $1,000 is incurred when
all of the bitches Of the city have to
be cleaned which would be necessary
if the present run of water were used.
Then too. a very small per cent of the
water users in the city would use the
water when it is so muddy.
