 WILL MOTOR BACK AGAIN-W. Bigelow. the well known motorist who drove the first car over the Phoenix Los Angeles course, will return to Los Angeles Monday. He will drive back in his car. the Pathfinder. The route will be over the new course which he advises-by way of-Yuma instead of the former course through Ehrenberg Mir Bigelow said yesterday that he thought a number of motorists would join in the Los Angeles Phoenix race . this fall if the new course was accept ed. The former course has so many hardships connected with it that few motorists can be induced to attempt it. They all shy at the 110 miles of des- ert on the California side of the Col orado river. By the new course the contestants would always be within twenty miles or so of the railroad
 A WILSON DISTRICT DITcH.- After thee months spent in an effort to organize for mutual benefit, the farmers in the west end of Wilson district have at last decided to get together and do something for them selves in the way of bettering their water system. They are now con structing a lateral for irrigating pur- poses south from the Dutch ditch run ming south and southwest of the Will son school house. When it is com pleted they will have an p-to-date irrigating system an improvement they have been so badly in need of for the last forty years or thereabout. Dan Kinney has the contract for the ex- cavating and expects to have it com pleted in thirty or forty days. It is said by a resident of that section that since work on this lateral has com menced land has advanced 10 per cent in that neighborhood. It is a pleasing thing to note that the farmers are getting together to improve conditions themselves in one locality after an other, without waiting for the govern ment to do it all. The government is good, but it will be long time before it will be able to do everything for everybody.
 COLISEUM'S AMATEUR NIGHT The amateur performance at the Coli scum last evening after the regular bill. was better than the one of last week and even a greater crowd was present. In the regular bill J. B. King, the Tramp Equilibrist, recognized throughout the country as the best in his line, was exceptionally good MT King is one of the few men in the juggling business who have tried to master both light and heavy balances and Mir. King is the first man who has really become finished in both. From balancing a tiny cigarette on his nose he tackles the poising of 15Opound cartwheel on his chin. and during his entire performance he con tinues to shift from, one extreme in weight to the other. His acts are all original with him and not a sham" stunt can be found among them. MT King is one Of the few vaudeville art ists that hasn't a double, simply be- cause he can not be copied. at least no one has yet been able to make his . tricks a go. W. W. Wilson, the cham pion buck and wing dancer, introduced a foolish kid" monologue stunt that took, the house by storm, The rest of the bill was good. including the moving pictures and songs The new bill on Sunday evening will be the first on the new circuit arrangement and Reeves and Wood promise a treat
