John Anderson a small mer-
chant doing business about the
coal chute, was sent to Jail from
the court of Magistrate Owens
upon failure to satisfy him fer
the costs in action bought at the
instanceof Mrs. Katherine John
son and her daughter.
The trouble grew out of Miss
Johnson's whipping q child of
Anderson. Tbeladies testifedthat
Anderson came there abusing
them Sunday and swearing at an
outrageous rate. He rebutted
with testimony that one of them
attacked him with an axe and
the other with an iron pan. There
was other evidence that hethrew
Mrs. Johnson into the yard

Squire Owens believed what
the women said about him and

To Build Street Bridges.

. AT the last meeting of the
board of county commissioners
the contract for the construction
of the two bridges on the Rox-
boro road was let to the Carolina
Construction company, of Bur-
lington.
The plans for building the
bridges over Little River and
Mountain creek have been
changed. It was expected that
these two structures would be
made Of steel and they were fig
ured in the contract awarded
severalmonths ago to cost some
thing like $4,000. This was re-
garded as a low estimate and the
bill that the county would have
footed might have run as high as
$4,000. By the change it is be-
Ilieved that there will be as SUBJ
sstantial structure as was first
bargained for aud it will cost
over the two streams, two seper-
ate bridges of course, about
1000. !
The bridges are to be made of
reinforced concrete. There will
be no steel about them but a solid
stone-work in concrete that will
be used as pillars and doorway.
It will probably be the only one
of its kind in the state, certainly
the only thing of its nature in
the section.

SAN DIEGO INTERESTED
Wants a Good Automobile Road Into
 Imperial Valley.

c. H. Bigelow has told the San Diego Union about his automobile trip from San Diego to Fl Centro and back. The Union says:
 The trip demonstrated once again the urgent need of connecting high way between San Diego and the Fl Centro region, and it is announced that the people of Imperial county are enthusiastically in favor of CO operating with San Diego county in improving their portion of the route. It remains for San Diegans, either as individuals or as county, to say what will be done toward rebuilding this county's part of the highway, and auto owners of the city are a unit in favoring early action in the matter.
 We can hardly overestimate the advantages of a favorable route of
 travel especially when we consider the many owners of machines in San Diego who have interests in the Im- perial Valley. It is also highly prob able that the completion of such road would influence the tide of summer travel to such an extent that summer excursion rates might be run oftener and with better schedules to this city. It would also render San Diego the outfitting point for the des- ert."

LEAGUE CHAMPIONS LOSE
Baseball Game Results In Victory for
 mperial-Trophy Cup Arrives.

The baseball game at El Centro Sunday resulted in victory for I'm perial by score of 6 to B. Abbott started in to pitch for El Centro, but was taken out in the first inning after Imperial had piled up three runs Stanley, who replaced him, was invin- cible and permitted no scores while he was in the box. Tn the sixth in ming he was injured while batting and was obliged to retire from the game El Centro, in the meantime, had. tied the score and the contest had become interesting Ferlin, the third pitcher for El Centro, was also effective, but in the ninth inning, with plenty of chance to retire the side. Abbott all lowed two thrown balls to get away from him at first base, giving Imper- ial three runs and the game. It was a miserable ending of what promised to be 8 close and we'll played contest.

PROTECTIVE WORK
 BELOW THE LINE
Colorado Flood To Be Kept
 Out of New River
Temporary Dyke at Volcano Lake to Be Replaced by Strong Levee- Headgate May Be Lowered if Chan nel Scours.

Several weeks ago a Southern Pa cific surveying party went down be- low the line to investigate the cut ting of a channel by overflow water in one of the numerous water courses carrying floods of the Colorado into Volcano lake, and to determine what work is required to prevent any dam age being done by the annual rise of the river. They found that the over flow has eroded a channel in the Abe jas, one of the branches of the Pesca- dor, to within half a dozen miles of the Colorado, and that if the cutting should not be checked the course of the river from below the intake to the gulf might be changed and liar dy's Colorado might become the Rio Colorado in fact.
 If no protective works were built, the overflow of Volcano lake would again fill the channel of New River and pour into Salton Sea, and the Southern Pacific might be forced to move it's track to the high line grade prepared last year as a precaution. But the outlet from the lake into New River has been damned temporarily, and there is no danger from any flood that may be caused by a flash rise of the Gila this spring.
 Before the big rise of the Colorado which comes in June, levee will be built from the Black Butte eastward to cut off New River and turn the water down the HarGy.
 Should the Abejas channel cut back to the main river, the change in grade of the bed might extend Northward to Yuma and possibly the headgate at the o. D. intake might have to be lowered a few feet in order to get full supply of water for the canal.
 There is nothing in the situation to cause alarm or uneasineSS in the Val ley. The engineers have not been taken by surprise, but have known all along that further protective work is required to complete control of the Colorado. Taken in time, the job can be handled readily, and extension of the levee from it's present terminus to the Black Butte will safeguard the New River channel and make the vag- aries of the Colorado harmless to I'm perial Valley.
 The c. D. Co.'S engineers recon noitred the delta after last June's flood and made preliminary plans for handling the situation that now exists and for changes that may be required at the intake. Chester Allison is now in the field studying conditions on the
