Protective Works on West Banks Safeguard the
 Valley
Crest of the June Rise Expected to 1 Pass Yuma on Sunday-Engineer Watching the River and Ready to Meet Unforeseen Troubles.

From Needles is reported an extra ordinary volume of water coming down the Colorado, indicating that the crest of the June flood may be un- commonly high at Yuma when 1t ar rives. Engineers of the c. D. Go. are at the heading and along the levees, watching for trouble, but no damage to the works is expected.
 The dams closing the break of three years ago constitute the most solid and secure section of the river bank anywhere below Yuma and there is not the remotest chance that the river will again invade Imperial Valley by way of the Alamo channel or the ir- rigation canal. The overflow into Vol cano lake is all turned southward by the levee from Black Butte across New River, and there is no probability that any part of the flood can find it's way to Salton Sea. The only trouble some effect of the flood considered possible is the cutting back of one of the drainage channels in Mexico to the main channel, which might lower the bed of the river a few feet at the intake.
 The latest report from Yuma was an eight inch rise from Thursday to Fri day, bringing the river up to 28.2 on the gauge at the bridge. A rise of three feet more might flood some of the lower ground in Yuma.

DAIRY PRODUCTS 60 AFAR
California Cream and Butter Company Sends Out Valley Products
 to Alaska and Honolulu.

The California Cream and Butter Company is operating in Imperial Val ley for the fourth summer, and has built up a large business with de- mand for the best milk and butter products obtainable.
 This concern has developed outlets, through it's San Francisco house, for Seattle and Alaskan trade when ever that market will command higher price for dairy products than the mar ket at Los Angeles, The company has also shipped considerable quan- titles of it's products to Honolulu.
 The California Cream and Butter Company is operating the creamery at Holtville, and Messrs w. J, Purcell and George Irwin are conducting a receiving station at El Centro Goods received by this concern at El Centro can be either manufactured in Holt vile and shipped to head quarters at Los Angeles, or can be shipped direct on refrigerator express cars in the shape of cream. These shipments are diverted either to Holtville or Los Angeles, as occasion may require, in order to obtain the best results from the butter fat.

NOT POLTERA MURDERER
Louis Welnemann, Held in Imperial County Jail, Proves AIibi in
 Los Angeles Case

El Centro for a short time the past those who have followed the attempts to locate the murderer of little Anna Poltera in Griffith Park, Los Ange- els, about May IT.
 After Louis Wienemann was arrest ed at Brawley, having been found in the room of daughter of ]. D. Ben nett, and he confessed his intent to commit 8 criminal assault and by his actions and remarks showed that he is a moral and physical pervert of the most dangerous type, it was thought probable that he was the murderer of the Los Angeles girl.
 Weinemann's disconnected stories and contradictions in regard to his whereabouts during the month of May strengthened this belief, and Sheriff William Hammell and Under Sheriff Martin Aguirre came down from Los Angeles to make an Investigator.
 The prospect of fastening on Weine- mann this heinous crime was dispelled when it was clearly shown during Hammers visit that the man had been confined in the Yuma County Jail for ten days that included the time the Los Angeles murder was committed
 Weinemann will be tried in the Imperial County Superior Court on the Brawley charge, and doubtless will be sent to the State Prison. He is an obscene beast, not fit to he al large.

Imperial and Coachella Valley Growers Unite Forces to
 Better Conditions
Will Build Warehouses to Store Pro- ducts When Prices Are Not Satis- factory - Co., operative Association Instead of Stock Company Finally Organized.

The Imperial Valley and Coachella Valley Farmers Co-Operative Asso- citation Is the somewhat cumbersome name adopted for the new co-operat- tive movement that bids fair to bring about better marketing results for the crops of the Salton Basin.
 One hundred ranchers and truck growers of the Coachella Valley are to join with the growers of Imperial Valley in building up an organization which shall work for the best inter ests of both sections. The union of forces was effected at meeting held on Wednesday afternoon in the Holt Opera House at Fl Centro.
 At previous meeting the Imperial Valley men had taken steps to or ganize a stock company with the same objects in view as that en- braced by the new movement; but be- fore the Wednesday afternoon meet ing word was received from prom inent men of the Coachella Valley that they desired to join in the or ganization, and they sent delegation of seven men to this meeting. This delegation consisted of Messrs. l.. c. Abbott and George Martin, of Goa chella; J. A. Gordon, F. A. Leap and c. M. Beach, of Thermal; c. A. Mes ipgale and MT. Hess, of Indio.
 These men represented that the Coachella Valley growers had held a mass meeting at Coachella last Mon day, at which they endorsed move ment to. enter a cooperative asso- citation, and that about 100 growers had signed an agreement to enter such an organization. They stated that the merits of both stock com pany and cooperative forms of or ganization had been generally dis cussed among the Coachella men and that their preference was for the lat ter form.
 This brought about a general dis cussion of the two forms at the Fl Centro meeting, and finally resulted In reconsideration of former action and an adoption of the cooperative plan for the body to unite the two valleys In one common object.
 It was decided to have a board of i directors of nine, seven of whom are to be Imperial Valley men and two are to be located in Coachella Val ley.
 The various members of the board of directors are to be selected at public meetings held in each locality, and the chairman to take charge of these meetings, which are to be held within the ensuing ten days are as fol- lows
 L. M. Abbott, Coachella; J. A. Cor don, Thermal; l. Mayfield, Fl Centro; S. M. Bixby, Imperial; Dr. Campbell. Heber; W. s. Gillett, Holtville; D. A. Boyce, CaleXico; A. s. Handley, Sils- bee; s. D. Ulrey, Brawley. The initiation fee has been placed at $25, and an immediate canvas for membership Is to be made at all points in both valleys.
 It is the purpose of the new or ganization to erect warehouses at each shipping point, where 1t may place crops in storage in case market conditions are not propitious and hold : them until the best prices may be obtained. El Centro is to be the prin- , cipal place of business Attorney J,

VISITS BIG SUGAR PLANT
J. r. Hartz Much Impressed. will
Croswell's Industry.

j. F. HartZ, OF the j. r. Hartz Co.,
No les Broadway recently returned
from a four-day trip to Poinre aux
Barques IN his new EMF car He
stopped en- route TO go through the
big sugar plant in Croswell, OF which
Capt. Gilmore Scranton Is superin-
tendent.
II was amazed at the size of this
klant," says Mr. Hartz. The sugar
factory has been running only As days
per year. but they expect to run 100
days this season, greatly increasing
the production. This plant gets sugar
beets from all the section .or 90 10 "a
miles around, and also imports beets
from Canada.
1T has taken six-years' campaign
OF education To teach the farmers
how to plant their crops in rotation
SO as to get the best result with the
beets. The beets can be planted only
tract. Capt Scranton has 100 in
spectors out helping the farmers 20
get the best results.
THE great drawback to sugar beet
planting seems to be that labor Is
hard to get Americans will not work
in the beet fields. and the farmers
have to get Russians. Poles and Hun.
garians Some of these are settling
down now and buying farms to raise
beets on their own account.
TT was interesting to observe the
perfection OF the Michigan plant,
which cost 100000 since had pre-
viously seen the Cuban refineries."

DIVORCE is BLESSING,
SAYS FORMER DETR0ITER
Ex-Justice Brown. in outspoken Ad-
dress, Takes Issue FiatIy With
Cardinal Gibbons

OLD POINT COMFORT. Va. July .,
Members of the Maryland State Bar
association are today discussing one
of the most outspoken and remarkable
addresses OF the year, "A speech by
ex-Justice Henry Il. Brown. OF the
United States supreme court. In whicn
he took issue fatty with Cardinal Clio
bons and declared the divorce Is a
blessing TO society.
Justice Brown treated the marriage
relation as a civil contract.
"A proper regard for the interests
of the state as well as the preserva-
ton OF domestic happiness would seem
To require that when The whole object
OF the matrimonial compact has been
defeated, he said, by the habitual.
persistent and uncomfortable conducs
or either party. and that relation which
should represent the acme OF human
happiness is made TO stand for all that
is most repugnant To our desires and
anticipations. severance OF the ties
should be permitted. The story OF do
nestle unhappiness is only too f.
miliar Speaking for myself. | can only
say that cannot recall divorce fair
IN obtained without fraud and upon
due and personal notice To the othcr
side, that did not apparently rebound
to the welfare OF the parties and prove
a real blessing.
Referring to Cardinal Gibbons at
tack upon divorce, Justice Brown de-
clared that the laws of Christ are ideal
istic and cannot stand when they run
counter to actual conditions OF life.

Pack Of Man Eating Lions Terrorizec
the Natives Where Ex-President
Hunts in August.
BY WARRINGTON DAWSON.
(staff Correspondent Of the United
Press and Detroit Times.)

a NAIVASHA. British East Africa.
\ July 9.-Latest reports from the Fort
Hall district, into which the koo5e-
Welt party will plunge in August ar
ter leaving Nairobi, indicate that the
party will face the gravest aanger
yet met in the African hunt.
The immense pack OF man.eating
lions, one OF the largest reported by
hunters in many years. has taken pos.
session OF the district and so terror
lxed the natives and foreigners as
4 practically 10 paralyze travel aud IN
iustry.
Up-coGntry runners and travellers
On the Uganda railroad report that
The lions are more savage and aggres-
siye than they have been in many
years. Scores OF natives nave been
killed by the pack during the PAST
week, the lions which are of the oheav-
lly-maned variety making raids on the
native villages at night and after STAY
Ing such natives as are unprotected
retreating to the brush. A hunting
party of two hundred natives has
beasts during the day, but they dare
not try to attack the animals at night
nor beat them from the brush owing
to their ferceness.
A party of 10 natives bound from
one village TO another was attacked on
the road by three lionesses and one
huge lion. Before the panic-strieken
men could turn to fee. nine OF them
had been struck down by the animals.
The other six made an attempt TO
escape by running. but five OF them
were overtaken by the animals ana
slain one after another. The remain
Ing native escaped by swimming a
small stream.
The fierceness and great number or
lions along the road where this party
was attacked have forced the govern
ment to close the highway as the pro-
lection of travellers through the It's
trict was found impossible.
Owing TO this reported abundance
of game In the Fort Hall district the
Roosevelt party may change Its plans
and proceed TO Fort Hall before the
scheduled time.
