has informed the state Department that
the Mexie.ln government has published
a regulation prohibiting horse racing
on the track at Tia. Juana. just across
the international boundary line, and
sixteen miles from San Diego, Cal.

PLANS TO HARNESS
 LITTLE MISSOURI
Work Will Begin on Dam in Pike County to Develop
 Electric Power.

Gov. Dan w. Jones, attorney for the Pike County Water Power Company and also one of the stockholders, was busily en- gagged yesterday in completing the organization and arranging the legal details necessary be- fore work can be commenced on the plant.
 Gov. Jones says that more than half million dollars will be spent at the start in the con- struction of a dam to harness the power in the waters of the Little Missouri in Pike county. The dam, he says, will be built of concrete and will be 60 feet in height. At present it is proposed to construct lines to Texarkana, Hope. Washington, Gurdon, Pres colt, Philadelphia and Murfrees- boro and other points in that territory for the purpose of SUD- plying power for lighting other plants, including electric railways The plant of the company will be located near the diamond fields of Pike county and expects to furnish the diamond company all the power and water needed for the operation of it's mines.
 At present, said Governor Jones, he was unable to say whether the power would be brought to Little Rock. That, he said, would have to be de- termined after the demands of the cities and towns nearer the plant has been supplied. The company, he says. has Little Rock in mind, and if it is pos sib e to bring the water here, and it is wanted, it would be done. He expects that work on the construction of the dam will be commenced within the next 60 days.
