In the district court in Denver yes
terday Judge Whitford rendered a
decision that will make II hard for
the saloon keepers of Denver unless
the supreme court reverses the decis-
ion. He held that under the law in
order to open saloon, a majority of
the property owners represented all
the way around the block had to
sign petition for the saloon. The
custom has been to require major
ity from street to street, wherever a
saloon was to he located. The Gus
tom has taken the word block to
mean simply from street to street.
which the decision would hold that it
means four times that amount or an
entire square. Under such a ruling
IT will be almost impossible TO secure
licenses for additional saloons in any

opinion that facilities at San Pedro and

to have the plant established in time

Pacific coast following the completion
of the Panama canal" said a man yes
terday who is conversant with plans for
the proposed steel enterprise. This in
vestigation is wonderfully significant Of
the probable attraction of eastern cap
ital to this section, which believe the
canal will produce in the nxet decade.
With proper ocean facilities, the possi-
bilities in steel are almost incompre-
hensible when you consider most all
this range of country as far as Utah
and New Mexico is capped with iron
ore

this proposed plant realize that, but also
know adequate ocean transportation
must be combined with it to allow de-

INDIANS To RECEIVE ONLY
FIFTEEN-AcRE ALLoTMENTS

NEEDLES, Nov Civ. B. williams Of
Rome, N. Y, who was appointed allotting
agent to succeed DR.. Bartlett, has arrived
and will begin the allotting of the land in
the Mojave reservation, across the river
from Needless on the Arizona side. This
work was begun under DR.. Bartlett, but
will all be done over again as the size of
each Indian allotment has been reduced
from eighty acres. the size of the allot-
ment under Bartlett, to fifteen acres.
There are nearly 500 Indians to receive al
lotments. The valley contains about 40-
600 acres of land so this will leave con-
siderable land for settlement, IL the pro-
posed irrigation system is put in Some
time ago the reclamation engineers made a
survey of the valley on both sides of the
river and reported that 1t a feasible
irrigation project. The land was with
drawn from public entry and the small size
OF tho allotments given each Indian looks
favorable for the irrigation project. The
land is fertile and with the application OF
water should develop into valuable agri-
culture tract, as this has been proven on
the Denair ranch, just west of town. which
has been subdivided and placed on the
market as an addition to Needles.

Los Angeles with a view to the estab-
lishment, between Long Beach and
Wilmington, of steel plant which viii
employ 5000 men and induce 10000 per-
sons to come to Los Angeles county.
A representative of these interests con-
sumed the greater part of his time dur
ing the summer in, an examination of
the possibilities of every port north
ward from San Diego. With this ex-
animation was conducted an investiga-
ton into accessibility of iron ore to
the Pacific coast.
AS a result the man who conducted
the Investigations has written to Los
Angeles stating he found Los Angeles
and vicinity better adapted naturally
for his plans than any other place on
the coast. He added, however, definite
move to select a site for the plant
would not be made for twelve months.
Although his letter did not say SO, 1t Is
conjectured the question of harbor IA

through the opening of the Panama ca

In Ventura they have thought best to
plant 1900 to give each plant more room
to grow. It seems to have been a wise
move, appreciated by the plants that
have grown to average fifty pounds
each. Very uniformly plant filled

so that they are at their best at the
