Dr. Shepherd spoke in favor of urg- ing the supervisors to inaugurate a system of road building, and advo- cated cooperation with San Diego in construction of an inter-county high way A good automobile road, he said, would bring into Imperial Val ley as visitors all the tourists to San Diego. Hundreds who would not make a railroad trip to the valley, would surely come over good road taking them through mountain scene ny.
 The discussion resulted in the ap- pointment of a committee to circul- ate petitions to the supervisors, each member to secure not less than fifteen signatures before the next meeting of the club. The committeeman are Messrs. Hayden, Medhurst and Fuller.
 The committee on petition procured more than eighty signatures on Tues day, and presented the petition to the

SHORT LEGGED RACE EVOLVING

LOS ANGELES, July 2S.-That
there is a grave danger of COM
ing generation of men with one leg
shorter than the other, unless
something is drne to keep the
Young America of today from
spending much of his time speed
ing along the sidewalks on one
skate, is the statement of Asst. Pc
lice Surgeon Huff of Los Angeles.
DR.. Huff's attention was called
to what he considers new peril
through an accident to small boy
who fell while coasting down a
steep hill here.
When the skate was removed
from the lads foot. the leg was
found to be developed in peculiar
manner. The ankle was compress
ed from constantly bearing the
weight OF the Toys entire body,
and the calf of the leg was over
developed, The other ankle was
normal and measurement showed
that the leg on which the skate
was fastened was one-quar,er of
an inch short.
From habit" said DR.. HUH,
these boys always put the skate
on the same foot This constant
development of that leg and COM
preston from TIE extra weight can

OUTCASTS FEEL
BETTER NOW

Well, it so happened that there
were nine Outcasts. And there
were as many more Indians. They
met at Recreation park and battled
for nine innings yesterday and in
the end the Outcasts won by a
score of to /. Hardness, the
frsckled kid who looks like fried
cat most of the time in the box,
had everything the Indians are un.
used to. He always did have it ON
'em, somehow. It was the same
story yesterday. the Indians
couldn't hit effectively against his
delivery. He gave five hits, walk
ed two and struck out five.
Killilay, who Is also promising
and good looking young twirler,
pitched for the Indians. For seven
innings the Miners couldn't find
him at all In the eighth they
scored a run and another in the
ninth The result In the eighth
was assisted by Rowan dropping
an easy thrown ball and allowing
Sits life, then in throwing to
second hitting Sits and letting him
go to third, from whence he scored
on a single. The finishes are be-
coming fatal to Killilay.
Letting the Outcasts have a
couple for sweet charity's sake Is
all right, and they might as well
take them at the start and have it
over with.
But Bill says that'll be about all.

ALL ENGLAND ROOFING FOR AMERICAN
LNJUN TO WIN CREA T NARA E4ON RACE

LONDON, July 23.-Chief inter-
est in the Olympic games centers
in the Marathon race, which will
be run July rs. Practically all ma
tions will have contestants in the
race, but the favorite for the
classic contest is Lewis Tewanima
the Indian runner, who carries the
colors of the United States.
The race will start from the
grounds of Windsor castle, King
Edwards residence outside Lon
don. There will be 70 runners, ana
they will make journey Of 26h
miles, finishing with final dash
of one lap round the stadium at
Shepherds Bush. The race will be
along the main road from Wind
sor to London. and it is estimated
that over a quarter of million
persons will line the route to
watch the racers pass.
Two thousand police will be
drafted to line the road and keep
the track clear. Mounted police
will ride behind the runners to
keep back hundi eds of motor cars
that will follow the race. The run
ners will have to travel about two
miles through London proper, and
during their passage all traffic will
be diverted from the streets
through which. they will pass.
At the stadium the greatest
crowd in the history of modern
athletics is expected to assemble
to watch the finish. Signs will be
posted giving the progress of the
race, which will be read by 100000
people. King Edward, Queen Alex
andra and the prince and princess
of Wales are likely to be present
dunn mark.
The American Indian Tewani-
ma of Carlisle Indian school is con-
sidered by English judges to be as
fine a specimen of long distance
runner as the British isles have
seen. His stride Is said by local
experts to be classic, and his pow
ers of endurance are thought to
be equal to race twice as long
as the Marathon.
Everybody not in position to be
biased hopes inc red man will
come in first out of sentimental
reasons, for he is the most popular
athlete a foreign country has sent
| to visit John Bull
The English have sentimental
regard for American Indians, and
| if Tewanima wins, he will receive
an ovation such as few runners
have been accorded in Europe.

Public School Notes.

Last summer, the. electors ami citizens of Monticello held q mass meeting to discuss the matter of erecting new puplic school build ing. After the dieussien a motion was put to the audience that the school Board be authorized and in structed to borrow S3o 900 to be us ed in erecting and equiping an up to date new school building, ect. While few in the audience did not vote either way all who dld vote favored the proposition, so on that authority the Board proceeded at once to take steps to carry out the apparent wishes of the people :; and to that end we had our repre- sentative in the Legislature get an act passed authorizing the Board to sell bonds and execute a mortgage on the school property, to secure the purchasers and holders thereof for their redemption as they became due. The act was passed and after much correspondence, delays, pam ics and divers other hitches and draw backs. we have succeeded in selling the bonds and they with all necessary papers have been issued executed and forwarded to the Mer cantile Trust Go of St Louis, Mo-, who is to hold the money subject to the orders of the School Board. Three of these bonds of S5oo. each
