And the Storm King howled with glee
While tho Parson raised his voice and

For the robber too and his bandit

For the criminals young and old,

For the drunken ones who fight

The Labor Day Road Movement Now With the Committees

1 per to point the road, when it can, Co bigger and better things
 Now that the committees are ap- pointed. we gracefully drop nut. Our work is done except to boost the p1at- ter along as the various, committees take action and to keep it before the people until the big day arrives.
 But to the honest and sincere oiti- zens who immediately saw the great good that could be accomplished by such movement and to all our friends who got in and put their shoul- der to the wheel, we wish to extend our sincere thanks on behalf of tue people who, after Labor Day, wid have. cause to know that they can get to- gether without politics, without fric- ton, without malice and do a great and good work.
 Again our thanks to one and ali, and again our expressed confidence in the ability of the committees to make  it the biggest daNthe Yuma valley has ever had.
 Every member of the three commit tees is a true, earnest, zealous advo- cate of better things for Yuma, and their efforts will be crowned with huge success.
 One good move begets another, and who knows but what this movement will lead to network of good roads in the valley that will be a lasting monument, a mute testimonial to what the people can d0.
 Remember the national motto: United We Stand, Diveded We Fall"
 Boost for the road.

 MT. Smith said that two Coles cars and one Thomas car have now been entered in, the road race for next No vember, making nine cars that are now officially on the roll He also stated that four more cars will be en- tered next week, and that the Los An geles dealers have now all made peace with each other and are in harmony in plugging for the big road race.

Another Auto
 Party Coming
-O--

The Arizona Republican says:
 The board of trade has received a letter from D. K. B. Sellers, of Albu- querque, president of the New Me- ico Automobile Association, saying
 q am in receipt to-day of letter from Mir. Harry Drum, chairman ot the touring committee of the Trans continental Touring Club, saying that the club has decided to send him across the country and that he expects to leave Chicago about September lN, arriving at Albuquerque about the last of the month, and Phoenix about the middle of October, and that they in tend to do considerable boosting along the line in regard to boosting for good roads, etc. MT. Drum will come with letters from congressman, department of agriculture, President Taft, and llll- rois and Chicago officials. You v'ili doubtless hear from him direct"
 This is a step further toward the CO., operation of New Mexico and Arizon3 and a still further boost for the South ern route of the great Trans-continen. tai highway.
 Yuma should certainly extend Mir Drum a cordial invitation to come this way, and in the meantime let us again assert that the county supevis- CTS should immediately do some work on the road from Yuma to Dome.
 If we expect to get the boosting we must do our part.

Engineers to Go to
 Mouth of Colorado

There is something doing with the Southern Pacific in connection with the control of the Colorado river below. the Mexican line.
 Not only have the engineers and surveyors of the s. P. been busy at and near the scene of the recent Ock- erson endeavors to control the Colo rado at Bee river, but now a party of s. P. engineers and surveyors are go- ing to the mouth of the Colorado riv- CT by boat and return overland.
 Joaquin Mendez, one of the best guides around Yuma left here to-day at noon for Andrade where he wifi join the force of s. P. engineers and surveyors and guide them to the present mouth of the Colorado by boat. Arriving there the boat will be abandoned, and the party will return overland, possibly leaving the boat to be brought back by Mendez and some Indians, or possibly selling or aban- doning the boat.
 Mendez stated before he left that the party expected to get started to- day or tomorrow.

 J. J.E. SMITH Above telegram came In this morn ing and in company with Deputy Sher- if O. A.

 When taken in charge the first thing the boy asked for was a bath, as he said that he felt dirty and tired. He said that he simply ran away from home for love of adventure, but from his general woe-begone appear ance it is safe to say that he has al- ready had enough of it.
 A wire was sent to the boys father this afternoon apprising him of the successful capture of his runaway son, but up to the time of our going to press no answer had been received.

Serious Accident

Ira L. Belb brakeman in the local yaEds. met with serious accident at 2.30 this afternoon, when the air hose broke on the train he was on top of, and the jar precipitated him to the ground
 His right leg was fractured and ne may also have sustained a fracture of the skull.
 The injured man was immediately hurried to the office of Dr. J. 4. Ketcherside, who gave him the neces- sary attention, and/Dr. Ketcherside says that with no complications he believes MT. Bell will get along very nicely.
 At 400 o'clock this. afternoon Ee was resting as easily as could be ex- ' ected.
 The accident was very similar to the one about week ago when John Harris, another brakeman, was hurt.

IN THE HANDS OF
 THE COMMITTEES

The entire matter is now n the hands of the various committees and there is not shadow of doubt Int what the people can get out on that Gay and do the work and do it well.
 The Yuma committees are thus re- lived of having to work clear to Som erton and the Sorierton committee are earnest men and they can be deYend ed upon to do their snare of the work on their end of the line.
 In fact, it was stated by several of the farmers at the Somerton meeting last night that they would work two days or their end if necessary
 If everybody gets in now and helps the committees out in every way pos sible that is all that is necessary.
 It will be amply proven that the Yuma people can do things when they get started.
 THANKS TO ONE AND ALL
 AS stated above the whole matter is now in the hands of the committees and the Examiner now withdraws from the matter entirely, except to be there on Labor Day with our help just the same as we trust every other citizen will be.
 In starting this matter and giving it it's first publicity we did not do with any other idea than to wake the peo- pie up to the fact that they were still neighbors, still friends, still working and boosting for the same community the same old town and county, and all once they got together with the same ideals.
 This is the work of every newspa-

5. P. Reduces Hours:
 Strike May Come

Tucson, August 23-Beginning to- day, the working day of the Tucson shops of the Southern Pacific is re- duced from nine hours, and the "quit- ting time' whistle will blow this aft ernoon at 100 o'clock instead of the .usual hour of 500. Also the week is cut from six days to five. Lack of bus mess and consequent loss to the S. P. is given as the reason.
 The order was received yesterday evening by Master Mechanic Peterson from General Superintendent of Shops D. P. Kellogg, of San Francisco, to become effective immediately.
 Railroad men insist that the re- trenchment has nothing whatever to do with the recent strike agitation in the shops.
 Still there are rumors in the air that general strike may now be or- Gered.

THE SoMERToN MEETING


 At the Somerton meeting last night in spite of the fact that it was busy time for the farmers, there was quite a number out and a good meeting was held in an informal way.
 Dr. H. Vance ClymerN and Sheriff Livingston were present from Yuma and about twenty of the farmers of the neighborhood
 By way of getting down to business Mir. Bridges asked If it was understood what the lower valley farmers were to do and what section of the road they were to have to build.
 Dr. Clymer pointed out that it would be hardly fair to ask the Yuma teams to go the. If miles to Somerton and ork all day and then have to b.. brought back. This was readily ac- ceded to by the farmers present, and Dr. Clymer then asked if they thought they could muster enough teams and men to build the forty foot road from Gandolfos corner to Somerton.
 They sad that if they were allowed the grader and with Frank Vierra and George Crowley to run it, that they could do so.
 Tbereupon it was unanimously agreed to appoint G, M. Bridges, Frank Vierra and George Crowley, the SonI- erton committee to call on the farmers of the lower valley and to get them to guarantee so many tealns and so much labor, and that this stretch. of road from Somerton to Gandoifo's corner would be left entirely in their hands. PEOPLE CAN BUILD
 THEIR STRETCH OF ROAD This committee will hold a meeting among themselves Friday evening Of this week at Baldwin's store, and Sun day they will go around among the farmers and find out who will help and how much.
 Dr. Clymer was asked if the county would send the surveyor down and have the side and grade stakes set beforehand and Dr. Clymer told them that he thought Supervisors Shanssey and Kent intended to do this.

The appointment of the above com mittees assures the success of the road movement from Yuma to Somer- ton on Labor Day.
 It now remains only for the upper valley committee to organize the work from Yuma to Gandolfo's southwest corner.

Sudden Disaster and Constant Disease,

Sudoen Disaster and Constant Disease.
The nation has been shocked by an
other appalling disaster, this time in
Pennsylvania. A dam. built across a
narrow gap between two hills to hold
back q vast volume of water, suddenly
gave way. The flood poured down the
valley, carrying death and destruction
with it. About 30 lives were lost in
a few minutes. A wave of sympathy
swept over the country. Red Cross
physicians and nurses FASTENED to the
scene. Food, clothing, hospital supplies
and money poured into the death-swept
valley. Special trains loaded with
supplies and men started for the town
almost as soon as the news of the
disaster was received. The state Of
Pennsylvania and the entire nation, If
necessary, stood ready to relieve suf-
fering and to save life, without regard
to the cost in labor or omney, An this
is right; nor should it be otherwise.

Medical association. Yet how strange
that our ~sympathies should be aroused
