Presidents Army Board Now Examining the Colorado
 River Conditions
Valley Committee Falls to Remove Reclamation Service Opposition to Protection of Canal System at the intaket by Maintenance of Weir Dam.

Engineer Ockerson has completed his investigations and surveys in the delta, made bis estimates of cost of closing the Abejos channel and build- .ng. .levees to control the Colorado, and gone East to make his final report to he President. What that report will be has not been disclosed, but there can be no doubt that Col Ockerson will recommend the construction of protective works before the next lood season. He has said that unless inc break shan be closed, the next food will get into the New River gorge, and he Is quoted as having
 aid that he expected to have the levee along the river bank In Mexico completed by next February.
 The board of army engineers, ap- pointed by the President to examine he unfinished projects of the Recla- Lation Service and determine how tue money provided for their completion
 hall be applied, passed through the va.ley on Friday morning en route to
 he Hanlon heading and Yuma. It was hoped that the engineers could be Induced to leave their special train at Brawley and make the trip to Calex. leo by automobile, but the invitation was not accepted and the special went trough without stopping. They will zee the conditions at the intake, and possibly they may recognize the ne- cessity of maintaining the weir dam through the winter for the protsction of the valley irrigation system and do something to check the pernicions ac. tiyity of the R. 8. Engineers at Yuma, Who are apparently anxious to see the weir go; out and leave the intake dry.
 The committee sent from the valley to consult with Engineer Sellew in the hope of persuading him to withdraw
 he Instructions he has placed in the way of the protective work at tue in. take has reported by telephone it's inability to convine him that his op- position to the method of maintaining
 he weir is not well founded. Mir. Sel-
 sw wanted the weir built one way, and the engineer that had 1t to build preferred another way, and now Mir. 9ellew is warm under the collar be- cause his ideas were ignored by nan who knows more about handling intractable rivers than the whole
 eclamation service staff ever will know. The weir may stano for some weeks without further reinforcement, but 1t will go out with the first flood and it is no menace to any of the work of the reclamation service in the esu- nation of engineers competent to judge.

DYNAMITE DESTROYS
 LIVES AND PROPERTY
Los Angeles Times Building Blown Up and Burned---
 Twenty-Three Dead
coineident Attempts to Assasslnate Individuals Obnoxious to Outlaw Element in Labor Unions. Large Rewards Offered for Discovery ot Murderers.

At about 1 o'clock in the morning of October 1, the Times building in Los Angeles was blown up by dyna- mite and totally destroyed. About twenty men were killed by the ex- plosion and fire that instantly spread through the wrecked building, among them the night city editor. The loss of property was about $5OO,OOO.
 Attempts to blow up the homes of Gen. \0tis and of Secretary Zeehand- laar of the Merchants and Manufac- turers' Association were frustrated by accidental discovery of dynamite bombs. A bomb was found also al the Baker Iron Works, and watch man fired at providers about the Times auxiliary plant. All the circumstance lead to the conclusion that the crime was committed by persons affiliated with labor unions, between whom and the Times bitter, vindictive, unreason- ing warefare has ragged for years.
 
 A clue obtained from unexploded dynamite in the bomb discovered al the Zeehandlaar home led to the dis covery that the explosive was bought at the powder works near Oakland by three men, whose descriptions have been given to officers.
 Rewards for discovery of the assas- sins amounting to hundreds of thou sands of dollars are offered by the city, the county, the labor organiza- tions and individual citizens, and, there Is reasonable certainty that the conspirators will be found.
 The Los Angeles Express, which at first attributed the explosion to leak ing gas and exhonorating the union ists, now says: Beyond any question the Times was wrecked by dynamite beyond any question its employees were slain by assassins and beyond any question all this was done in futher- ance of conspiracy of murderers who sought not only the destruction of the newspaper, and the lives of its en- ployes, but the lives as we'll of the men who have been conspicuous in their warfare on unionism."
 Previous attempts to destroy the Times building had been made, and when labor troubles in the city were acute and the Times was most vigo- rous in its warfare upon strikers. minor damage was done furtively to its plant. Plots to inf1ict personal in- jury upon Gen. Otis and others had been laid by unionists thugs imported from San Francisco, but had been discovered and frustrated. The only tenable theory Is that the dynamiters of the Times building and the mur- derers of score of working people belong to the lawless, violent element hat has discredited unionism in the mining states and in San Francisco.
 Subscriptions for the relief of fami- lies of the victime have been started In Los Angeles and by the Southern California Editorial Association. Any contributions to the relief fund sent to the Press will be transmitted to the Association.

Will Not Accept Payment In Advance at Old Rate and
 Returns Such Proffers
Hearing on Question of Increase Post poned. Attorneys Consulting on Plan of Organization For Acpui- sition of Irrigation System By Waeter- users.

{ All the mutual water companies as- sented to the demand of Receiver Holabird that water rentals be paid in advance and forwarded checks for the amounts due under that arrange ment on the first of October, specify
 ing that the payments were made at the old rate of fifty cents an acre foot. Col. Holabird declined to receive the money except as payment on account, and has returned the checks. The attorney for one of the companies says he would have agreed to a stipu- lation that the receivers acceptance of the checks should( not prejudice his right to collect an additional thirty cents if the court should sus- tain his action in raising the rate, and he has no doubt the other com- panies would have taken the same course, but no such suggestion was made by the receiver, whose course is characterized by the attorney as ''peevish." Probably, however. the receiver is acting under the advice of his attorney, who may have reasons of his own for rejecting the payments and leaving the receiver short of money. The hearing on the order re- straining the receiver from shutting off the water, which was set for Oct. IA, has been postponed to Oct. IS, when the authority of the receiver to abrogate contracts may be determined.
 If the Southern Pacific should so modify its action in court, as to re- move all possible doubt of the valid ity of certificates issued by the re- ceiver, it Is probable that way of raising money could be devised that would be satisfactory to all concerned. and the receiver and the mutual com panies would not be at loggerheads over rates and contract rights. No considerable progress toward better ment of the condition of the canal system can be made unless the re- ceiver and the water-users work to- gether to a common end, and CO., operation is not possible when arbt- trary exercise of questionable author ity meets distrust and tenacious in sistence on rights. The fundamental cause of trouble in the existing situa- tion is that the water-users are not convinced that their interests have been considered in the proceedings that were instituted by the railroad attorneys for the appointment of a receiver. That makes the receivers position peculiarly difficult.
 The other phase of the water prob- lem, involving organization of the water-users for acquisition of the canal system, is being considered by attorneys Haines, Eshleman and Britt as special counsel in conference with attorneys for the mutual con- panies, Messrs. Shaw and McPherrin, who are all in Los Angeles. It is the desire and purpose of the attor- neys to arrive at an understanding and unite in advising the best method of organizing.

LARGE COTTON CROP
 NOW A CERTAINTY First Pickings Indicate Aver age Yield of a Bale to
 the Acre
Carload Shipped to Japanese Buyers. Arizona Indians May Be Brought In To Pick The Crop. New Gins Nearly Ready For Operation.

Up to last Thursday night, I'll bales of cotton had been turned out at the El Centro gin, the product of first picking in a few of the fields of early planting. A carload of 45 bales was shipped to the north last Saturday having been sold by the Loftus Con- pany for the growers at 1915. An other carload of forty bales is to be shipped today, it's destination being Kobe, Japan. The price will depend upon today's New York quotations, and as the market is stronger than 1t was last week, it is probable that the figure may be above 1850. Several small lots, aggregating about twenty bales, have been shipped to manu- lecturers of bedding in Los Angeles and San Diego and to the felt mill at Dolgeville.
 Field inspectors are now confident that the we'll cultivated fields will average a bale to the acre and that some of the best will yield two bales. Ira Aten obtained six bales from the first picking of an eight-acre field, and there is as much more cotton now open upon the plants. A stock car- rying 86 open bolls has been brought in from the Jernigen field west of New River and is declared by the in- spectors to be fair average sample of the entire field. That means at least two bales to the acre. The first picking from 55 acres on the Loftus ranch at Meloland yielded 23 bales. Mrs. Wiles has 160 acres of good cot Lon and is quite satisfied with her first experiment as a planter. She nas not begun picking, but is sure of good average crop.
 There has been no shortage of labor, but many of the pickers are green hands and some of the planters have made the mistake of raising the wages of pickers and putting a pre- nium upon inefficiency. A plan for ob- taining Indian labor from Arizona is under consideration. MT. l.. Odle, an officer of the labor department of the Indian Bureau stationed at Phoenix is in the valley consulting with growers, and it is possible that large number of Indians may be sent here Co assist in gathering the crop and to learn something about farm work. If h. dians are employed under supervision of the government officers, they will stay on the job until the work is done.
 The machinery of the Calexico gin is all in place and ready for testing, and the Holtville gin will be completed next week. The Brawley and Fl Gen. tro gins will be ready for operation a little later, and as soon as the new Fl Centro gin can be operated the old gin will be moved to Heber. The brick office building of the Imperial Valley Cotton & Oil Company, east of the railroad in Fl Centro is nearly completed and the foundation for the seed house will be laid next week. Material for the oil mill building is arriving, and the mill machinery will be delivered in about four weeks. There will be eight carloads of ma chinery.

POPE Plus ON MODERNISM.

In his "Motu Proprio," issued the
first of September, Pope Plus x takes
up the subject of Modernism at some
length and suggests specific methods
for combating this evil. The Holy
Father is particularly DESTROYS of pro-
tecting the clergy and seminarians
from the peril which is making in
roads even into the ranks of thinking
men in our day. He sees in the prin-
ciples Of Modernism the attempted
overthrow not only of Catholicity hut
of all religions. a He, therefore, feels
keenly the necessity Of using every
legitimate effort to check its advances.
In order to erect the best possible
barrier to prevent it's spread among
the laity, he recommends that, the
greatest care be exercised in select
ing men for the priesthood, especially
as regards their mental disposition.
He, moreover, urges Serious and pro-
found study In order, that the future
expounders Of, Catholic. doctrine may
be able to cope successfully with those
Modernists who, though often possess
ing but superficial, knowledge of their
science of errors. are SO adept in the

THE Lee STATUE.

At the national encampment Of the
G.. A. r. in Atlantic City the question
of placing the statue, of General Rob-
ert T. Lee in Statuary Hall, Washing
ton, was warmly debated. The rad
ical element sought to put the matter
to vote while the conservative men,
bers endeavored. to avoid taking def
mite action. At the final session a
motion to postpone the question indefi-
nitely was carried by vote Of 1873 to
1902. The arguments advanced by the
conservatives were that adverse ac-
tton in the matter would only result
in ;arousing sectional hatred and that

DECREASE IN DEATH RATE.

The United States census bureaus
bulletin on mortality statistics for 1909
shows the death rate for last year to
be the lowest since the registration
Of deaths was ainaugurated and, go
far as there is any means of knowing,
II is the lowest in the history of the
country. According to the report !he
mortality rate IS is per 1900 Of the
estimated population. In 1909 the rate
was 1874 per 1000, showing that these
was decrease of5.4 per 1000 in 1909.
The bulletin states that the year
1909 was marked by the general preva-
lence of exceptionally favorable cond.-
lions for human life. In England and
Wales the death rate dropped to the
record figure Of 14.5 per 1000.
1t is a general belief that in large
cities the death rate is higher than
in country districts. The mortality
stetistics do not bear out this belief.
The rate given for the city of Lon
don is IA per 1000 which is lower than
in the thinly populated districts. When
the fact that thousands of people in
almost every large city: are housed
in unhygienic surroundings is taken in-
to consideration itsis difficult to UNI
derstand why the rate. of mortality
should be less in London than in out
lying districts. The advancement. OF
medical science may result in create.
benefit to city dwellers than to coun-
try folk; but this alone would not
be a sufficient explanation. The pos
sibilities of Inaccuracies in estimating
the population. in congested city ma1
have a more significant bearing on the
result. - z is-efs..3
