would run the other way.
1t is interesting to know that the en-
tire alphabet can be arranged in one
lntelligible sentence without the repe-
titlon of a single letter. Just % letters
in the following sentence, and no two
alike:
u. Q. vandz struck my big fo1

That simple sentence is the hardest
possible one to write on the typewriter
so many of the letters in the alphabet
are used so seldom that even good
typist has to study out the comblna
ton before finding some of them. This
sentence is the only one known that
contains every letter in the alphabet
but once and makes sense.
Another interesting word group. II
which the entire alphabet is put int,
seven words, and only 80 letters ar,
used. is: burst, fed, Jingle, qulp. vim

number OF words that the alphabet car

Two ineligible sentences. however
Of eight words and thirty-two letter
apiece have been found. They are:

The first sentence is often used il

count of the shortness and the fac

the advantage of making sense.

CONTEST NOTICE.

Department of the Interior, United States Land office, Los Angeles, Cali fornia, March 26th, 1908.
 A sufficient contest affidavit having been filed in this office by w. Fl. Sieg, contestant against homestead entry No. 10S92, made September 27th, 1905, for the s. E. H of Section 27, Town. ship 16 S., Range 13 E., s. B. M., by Howard W. Squire, contestee. in which it is alleged that said Howard w. Squire has wholly abandoned said land for more than six months last past, and has moreover wholly failed and neglected to reside upon said land, or to improve the same; that said al legged absence from said land was not due to his employment in the army, navy or marine corps of the United States as private soldier, officer, sea- man or marine during the war with Spain or during any other war in which the United States may be en- gagged.
 Wherefore said parties are hereby notified to appear respond and offer evidence touching said allegation at 10 o'clock a. m. on June 30, 1908, be- fore the Register and Receiver at the United States Land Office in Los An geles, California.
 The said contestant having, in a proper affidavit, filed March 26, 190S set forth facts which show that after due diligence personal service of this notice can not be made, it is hereby ordered and directed that such notice be given by due and proper publica- tion.

NEW AUTO ROUTE
Plans For Highway From Los Angeles
 to Imperial Valley.

It is reported that within few days II. c. Oakley, with a party of engi- neers, will begin investigation of two proposed routes for the projected auto mobile highway to reach from Los Angeles to the Imperial Valley. Mir oakley is enthusiastic over the pros pect of opening up a route which will give automobile men comparatively easy access to the Imperial Valley from Southern Californias metropolis, and which will lead these travellers be excelled anywhere in the entire Southwest.
 One route being considered is that which follows the present general highway from Los Angeles to Hemet and Temecula, and thence to Warmers ranch. Then the route to the desert would be by way of Bannar and the Box Canon, so that the road would enter Imperial Valley at point north of the Superstition mountains, follow ing the old Harper we'll road. This route at present is receiving the most favorable consideration, but still an fother route is to be investigated.
 The second route would follow the general highway from Los Angeles to Banning; thence to Indio, Coachella and Thermal, and follow around the west shores of the Salton Sea on the old beach line. One feature of this route would be a visit to Painted Can on, on the west shore of the Salton Sea, where the Indians have displayed their art as painters on the lodges of rock, and where many grotesque figures may be seen in the natural formations. The long stretch along the shore of Salton Sea would also prove one of the notable attractions of the latter route.
 Either route is estimated to be about 200 miles. It is believed the super visors of the counties in which it would be necessary to construct new roads to complete the route will give the project the necessary assistance.

LEVEE WORK BLOCKED.
Yuma Valley Will Be Flooded Because
 Ludy Canal Is Open.

The Reclamation Service has been forced to abandon it's plan of com pletely enclosing the valley by the 1evee. MT. Sellew had planned to build 4000 feet of levee along the boundary, which would have kept the river from backing up. Any seepage water would have been handled with pumps. To the end that the Ludy canal headgate might be closed, thus completing the levee system, the gov ernment recently offered the Ludy people $45,000 for their system. This has been refused. Their headgate will be open, weakening the levee to an extent and turning into the valley water which must have an outlet and more than could be pumped out.
 The levee to the international line will be completed, but the protecting wall along the line will be given up for the present. This will mean that the lower end of the valley for a dis tance of two or three miles will be under water this season. The water will back up during the flood time for some such distance. It will affect few homes, but render the land temporar- fly useless.-Yuma Examiner.
