President HOPES

SUGGESTED AN ARMIsTICE
TO JAP ENJOYS.

When Blow Is Struck Victory for

Oyster Bay, L. l., July 29.-At his
meeting with Baron Komura, the Jap.
anese peace envoy, 1t is believed
President Roosevelt urged Japan to
consent to an immediate armistice
with Russia to prevent the impending
battle near Vladivostok. President
Roosevelt, when Intercepted about
the conference, replied that 1t was a
subject which he did not feel at lib
erty to discuss for publication
Suggestion to Witte Likely.
1t is expected that soon after the
arrival Of M. Witte, the principal en-
voy of Russia. he, too, will make q
formal call on President Roosevelt in
advance Of the presentation to the
president on August OF the two
sets OF plenipotentiaries and their
suites, and that a similar suggestion
for an armistice will be made to him.
The president does not conceal his
deep interest in the approaching con-
ference OF the ENJOYS, but he lets it
be understood that his interest will
not lead him to interfere, even by In.
direction, with the work OF the confer
ees.
Hoped for Early Armistice.
He had hoped that an early armis-
tiee might be arranged between the
eoateading armies in Manchuria,
pending the conclusion Of the work
Of the conferees. It is net unlikely
that the subject OF an armistice may
be one of the first questions consid-
cred after the arrival OF the ENJOYS
at Portsmouth, but thus far no in
timation of their possible action on
that subject has been given.

irrigation in Southern California.
 MT. Campbell said that he agreed with the remarks of several members of the board, who expressed the belief that no subject of more public importance than this could demand the attention of the realty board. From his personal knowledge of conditions in northwestern Colorado he confirmed the statements already made.
 1t Is almost certain that an appear will be taken from the decision of the court in Colorado, under which the Moffatt road assumes to have acquired sole control of the sites in question, and it will be the purpose of the com mlttee of the realty board to arouse other public bodies and the people of Southern California at large to the inn portance of representation of their in- terests in the case. providing that fur ther investigation justifes such action"
 The Los Angeles Chamber of Com merce, which is one of the most power full organizations of it's kind in the United States, is also taking up the matter and no doubt at their next meet ing will throw their great influence into the fight for the development of the lower Colorado. Senator Flint and Congressman McLachlan have been interested and will take up the matter in Congress and do valiant service for the people against the graft and craft of Millionaire Moffatt. And Governor Pardee has asked the Reclamation Service for detailed report on the situation, giving all the facts.
 1t Is understood to be his purpose, on receipt of this information, if the im- portance and seriousness of the matter seems to warrant it, to ask the gov ernors of Nevada and Arizona to join with him in calling convention to meet at Los Angeles some time before Congress convenes and organize to ask such legislation as will defeat this scheme of Moffatts. From this it can be seen that our powerful friends are aroused and the crafty, grafty Moffatt will be met and overcome. But our people are interested in this movement and 1t is right the Valley papers should discuss it and keep our people posted on such matters from the standpoint of the pioneer home builder, battling with the desert, in the integrit nose heart and strength of who all the hopes of the future arc med.

Los Angeles Automobile Disaster In-

The Los Angeles papers of Tuesday last all contain accounts of the deadly work of the automobile and the miracu- lous escape of some and serious injury of others i'll a mix up on the streets of that city in which Imperial Valley peo- pie played leading parts. Mir. E. K. Green. who was driving the automobile at the time of the disaster, is the owner of line farm near Keystone, four miles north of Imperial, and his son, Floyd E. Green and wife, have lived there for year or more past. The son and wife had been spending the summer in Los Angeles. This disaster is only what might be expected, as when people get to running automobiles they get speed crazy and their only ambition is to make the telephone poles look like picket fence.

This morning an unusual will was filed in the probate court, which is termed 'non-cupative" will, and is the first of the kind in the history of the office so far as Judge Kirkpatrick is concerned. When man is in extremis, or in other words, when he is about to die, and has not time to send for a lawyer and have will drawn up in the proper manner, provided she estate IS not very large, he may take the course used by Eben L. Oaks, an old mining man who arrived here at the hospital in dying condition about month ago. He had $665 in cash with him, $603 33 on deposit at the Consolidated National bank, and an interest in some mining claims in the Harshaw mountains, so sending for H. B. Penney, the cashier of the bank, he handed hlm the money and document devised there, telling him orally what he wanted, and appointing him executor of the estate. which was devised to a nephew, Matthew Morse, of Bloomfield, Conn.,, the witnesses of the affair being pr. H. E. Crepin and w. ]. Ross He died on the 18th of last month, but the law provides that such a docu- ment may not be filed for q certain number of days after death.-Tuc- son Citizen.
