ARE ARRANGED FOR
BY SUPERVISORS

Precincts Necessary

Imperial county is to have more vOt-
ing precincts. This was decided upon
at the last meeting of the board of

that each voting precinct shall have
not more than 200 voters. AS mat
ter of fact, Ell Centro Inside Precinct
has SAT registered voters, and with
the enrolment of the women on the
Great Register almost double this
number of ballots will be cast.
Changes are to be made in Ell Cen
tro Inside and Outside precincts, I'M
perial Inside and Outside, Holtville
Outside and Calexico Outside.
Hereafter Ell Centro city will have
two precincts-nOrth and south-the
division line being Main street. Ell
Centro township will have two pre-
cincts-east and west-the Date canal

there is time will visit Laguna dam
When the party leaves Yuma it will
be piloted acoss the Colorado river

STATE HIGHWAY COMMITTEE
MAKES VISIT TO RIVERSIDE

A party of the business men of the
four towns of the valley left for Riv-

with the board of supervisors in that
city Thursday regarding the interests
of Coachella Valley for the state high
way. This party was joined at Ban
ming and Beaumont by representatives
of the two towns. Those representing
COachella Valley were:
Indio-H. e. Gard and M. Lewis.
Coachella-Chas. Mcdonald and A.

City, the party went through Buffalo,
Erie, Cleveland, Chicago, Des Moines,
Omaha, Kansas City, Dodge City, La
Junta, Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Globe
and Phoenix as outlined above. In the
selection of the route, the company
had the assistance of the A. A. A. and
the National Touring Club of America.
1t is expected that this road will
become the national automobile high
way, and it is probable that at least
fifteen thousand automobiles will cross
the continent over it to San Diego
in 1915.
The party is enthusiastic over Ari-
zona scenery, one member, Col. Stud
well, declaring that he had travelled
extensively abroad and had never
seen anything in the Alps or Italy
that had anything on this" as he
very succinctly expressed it. He also
said that he had never seen such fine
roads through country, and that
they reminded him of the driveways
in Central Park, New York.
The members of the party travelled
about $50 miles yesterday from 80
miles beyond Globe, and this evening
will go to the Grand Canyon by train,
leaving the machines. They will get
into Los Angeles November "a, just
one day behind their schedule.
5 The part will have travelled 4,2O0
miles when it reaches Los Angeles.
and so far it has not been necessary
to make any mechanical repairs On
the cars. The tour was delayed in
the White mountains, near Springer
vile, by very peculiar accident. At
an altitude of $500 feet The cars ran
into bog and were stalled for twelve
hours, with the machines clear up to
the hubs in mud. The baggage truck
which accompanies the party is we'll
equipped for all emergencies and the
cars were finally pried out of the
Arizona adobe.

Automobile Accidents


Two automobiles on the stretes of
Holtville yesterday enlivened things
for a short time. The first one, short
ly before noon, was a large touring car
occupied by Mr.. Andrade, receiver,
and Mexican counsel, from Calexico.
The machine was standing on Holt
avenue, in front of the Hotel Alamo.
When they were ready to start on the
return trip, the machine was cranked
up, but the driver had forgotten to
throw off the speed lever In conse-
quence the car sprang forward with
terrific force. One of the iron posts
under the portico of the hotel build
ing prevented them from crashing
through the large plate glas sfront.
The post, however, had to be removed
and Strengthened, though the machine
escaped with slight damage. The Sec
ond mix-up, few minutes later, was a
car occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. George
of Imperial-the latter at the wheel.
Mrs. George is taking her first lessons
in driving, and in turning the corner
at Fifth street and Holt avenue, a mis-
calculation brought them up against
the curb with sufficient force to ne
cessitate the cars going to the repair
shop. 1t was a fortunte escape

TO spend at least $4,000 on alterations
and improvements.
The sale was held according to ad-

of rha lot has been discussed among

minor cases Of affray, theft, etc.
might be finally disposed of in the

but saving the time and expense of

Throughout the City and County
of Honolulu the police should be much
more alert in the prevention of the
carrying of dangerous weapons by in
dividuals. This is pointed out not in
the spirit of criticism of officers in
volved, but for the obvous reason that
many affrays could be avoided were
persons suspected of evil designs sub
mitted to search by the police.

According to advices from Maui, ef-
forts to recover the body of Mormon
Elder Curtman, who fell from trail
between Kaupo and Kipahulu last
Wednesday, have been Intellectual. Par
ties who went to the scene were able
to see the mule which fell with him,
going round and round in whirlpool,
and they were finally able to lower
Hawaiians, with ropes, to the edge of
the pool.
A letter from Maui says:
"The Mormon elders went to the
place where the body was lost, with
natives, and spent all day trying to
get down to where the mule could be
seen going round and round in whirl-
pool. Finally they lowered the ma
tives down with ropes. They recover
ed his trousers and watch intact, but
the rest of his clothing was strewn
about, torn to shreds. They also
found his kodak. The mule with the
saddle attached was being swirled
around by the force of water, and
could not be reached. All hope of
recovering the body has now been
abandoned
FIFTY dollars reward was offered for
the recovery of the body"
