 Harvey Herrick and the National, with which he won the Bakersfield road race, have returned and the stIc- dy car will be on exhibition all this week at the National Motor Car co = pany. The Tevis cup, which the Ma tional won, is also being shown.
 Herrick will rest up this week after his strenuous time in Bakersfield, and will be on hand to tell about his fast race over the severest course motor cars have ever been asked to compete on the coast
 The National is none the worse for It's hard journey and many enthusi- asts in Bakersfield were given a rid9 in the wonderful racing machine.
 Earle Y. Boothe and Robt. Stanton are naturally elated over the success of the car and consider it one of the greatest victories ever scored in the West. It was also a popular win tt Bakersfield, as Herrick had won the admiration of the people by his mol esty both before and after the race.

Suspected Man
 Was Not Wolfe

Saturday afternoon Sheriff Gus Livingston arrested a man which SO loosely resembled. Wolfe, the man being hunted for the murder of Oyerman children near Calexico, that he immediately wired the description to the Imperial county authorities.
 The description fitted the .nan so exactly that MT. Overman decided to take the train and come to Yuma ht once, which he did arriving here at 5:45.
 But after one look at the man, he stated that he was not Wolfe and he returned to the Imperial valley on the next train.
 MT. Overman stated to Sheriff Liv- ingston that it was almost impossible to mistake anyone else for Wolfe, as Wolfe was man that could never look you in the eye when talking D you. that he might look up for a mo- ment, but that his gaze would immed- lately shift.

Needles Wants the
 Colorado Controlled

The aid of the federal government
 should be invoked to control the wat
 CTS of the Colorado river in this sec tion of the country, says the Needles Eye. The river in years past has steadily encroached upon the Califor- pia shore, until it is HOW cutting away valuable property, and it will only be a matter of very short time until the Santa Fe railroad company will be obliged to do considerable work along the river front to protect its property. Besides the Santa Fe railroad con- pany there are other interests that need protection, namely the lands of the federal government and those held by the Cotton Land company, O., the Arizona side of the river; also the great plant of the Needles Mining and company and the water works of the Murphy, Water, Ice and Light company, and much individual demands that something should be done at once.

Collie Feeds Its
 Imprisoned Mate

Seattle, Wash. July S-Ltd into the forests of San Juan island by his col lie, Thomas Jones, a ranchman, resc :. ed from an abandoned prospect hole a dog which he had searched for, for more than a month.
 Although the dog had been impris- oned and forced to stand iG two inches of water fCr five weeks, he was fat and healthy when the owner pulled him out of the 15-foot hole. The dos had been fed by his collie brother.
 After the first collie disappeared, Jones observed that the remaining dog developed a ravenous appetite, con- suming as much as the two had eaten. One day, as Jones tossed the dog a two pound bone, from which none of the meat had been cut, he nGticed that instead Of devouring the meat the collie took it and trotted off towards the woods.
 When Jones procured ladder and descended into the pit, he found a pile of bones by the side of the dog at the bottom of the hole. They nad been carried to the imprisoned one by his brother

 Little was known about the time Herrick was making in the trials. He was foxy and try as they did, his com petitors did not know what he could do His system was to time himself between certain points for about half the course and then loaf the remain der On the next round he would catch his time between the points where he loafed before. He had his race map ped out to a nicety.
 This win at Bakersfield is sure to make Herriek and the National favor ties in the Phoenix race Herrick has been over the route, but even at that he will probably make one trial trip early this fall, with the National, go- ing over the new course from San Diego to Yuma and on to Phoenix
 The National has unlimited speed, and when the big race starts this fall the run from Los Angeles to San Die go should be a hair-raiser.

Statehood Up
 For Discussion

Washington, D. C., July 7-When Senator Sutherland announced that he would speak next Tuesday on the mi tiative, referendum and recall as it ap plies to Arizona, he started discussion which laid bare the fact that the statehood resolution is evidently be- ing purposely withheld from the sen- ate, although ordered reported two weeks ago.
 When Sutherland made his an nouncement, Senator Bristow, an ar dent friend of statehood, asked Sena- tor Nelson in the absence of Senator Smith, chairman of the territories committee, who is still in Michigan, when the resolution would be report ed Nelson stated that he was one of the minority on that committee, and could give no information.
 Senator Shively then volunteered to the senate, the information that two weeks ago last Saturday the commit tee by a vote of six to three, had or dered the bill favorably reported and that he did not know why it had not been heard from.
 That ended the discussion, but it is probable now that unless it is report ed by Smith within the next day or two, a majority of the committee will report it over his head.

Phoenix Race May
 Go Via Riverside

Chester Lawrence, writing in the Los Angeles Examiner, says:
 An additional thousand dollars is in sight for the annual Los Angeles to Phoenix road race. George Purdy Bull lard, of Phoenix, was yesterday offer ed that sum tentatively by party of Riverside business men who visited 2ullard, and asked that the course be changed so that the cars will go through the city of Riverside.
 Bullard asked the men to collect the money and stated that he in turn would take the matter up with Ameri- can Automobile Association in New York. There is no doubt but that this change will be made in the course
 The proposed new route will take the cars to San Diego by the inland route and will only make the course forty miles longer.
 With this added prize the purse is swelled to $7,5OO in cash, the largest purse ever offered for an automobile contest west of Indianapolis.
 Bullard left yesterday for three weeks visit at the Coronado hotel.

 One of the best of the recent South ern Pacific improvements is the i'm provement of the grounds around the buildings at Imperial Junction.
 Despite all that can be said, hun dreds of passengers on the main line Of the Southern Pacific, believe they are catching sight of the Imperial val ley when they pass the junction.

Blood Hounds Are
 Agents of Justice

 The decision came ill the appeal Of Glen Adams, who was convicted in November, 1910, of the murder Of John Anderson, farmer. The tracks around the Anderson home gave a good trail, and the hounds follow ed the tracks to the Adams home four miles away. The shoe tracks of A l. ans fit those around the Anderson home.
 The shoes and bounds were all the evidence against Adams.

WOULD SAVE SWISS SCENERY
League Asks the Government. Not to
Grant Concessions for Any More
Alpine Railways.

The Swiss Scenery Preservation so
ciety has presented to the govern.
ment memorial urgently calling
upon 1t not to grant concessions for
any more Alpine railways. OF late
strong feeling has arisen among the
more thoughtful and intelligent Swiss
that their country has already been
sufficiently exploited. Many beautiful
passes and minor SUBMITS have been
disf1gured by overhead electric rail-
ways or besmirched by smoking en-
gines. yet concessions for fresh noun
tain railways do not cease to be de-
manded. Quite recently as many as
fourteen were before the government
at one time.
What has now aroused the Swiss
Scenery Preservation society to ener-
getic protest is the demand recently
addressed to the government for q
concession for cogwheel line from
Glion, via Brochet, to sonchaux, with
a branch line from Brochet to Gaux.
This proposal they combat on the
ground that another cogwheel line al
ready exists in the neighborhood
,(Glion-Rochers de Naye): that the
new line would hopelessly disfgure
beautiful piece of Alpine scenery.
and that it is not justified by the cir.
cumstances Of the surrounding dis.

line between Enderlin and Fort

quite enthusiastic over the sue.
cess they have met with.
Another electric line that is
being discussed is being plan.
ned to connect Grand Forks
and the 500 Railway at some
point north of Grand Forks.
rhis line would open up twenty
miles of some of the best farm
lands in the northw west.

paratively short time until
electric lines will begin to
spread over North Dakota much
as they have in some of the
