Nevin Enters Fiat
 In Phoenix Race

Los Angeles, July 21-Bill Nevin entered the Los Angeles Phoenix race last night with his fast forty-five horse power Fiat racer. His check is in the hands of John s. Mitchell, and another fast entry is clinched for this big road battle. The car reached here yesterday afternoon and five minutes after Big Bill had glanced critically over the car his entry was signed and sealed.
 Backed by a record that is second to none and with the twenty-four- hour race trophy in his possession, NeVin bristled with challenges yesterday.
 His first def was hurled at the Ma tional racer, which won the Bakers field road race and which was the first car entered in the Phoenix race.
 Have you seen Earle Y. Boothe around here lately?" asked Bill of Mow Mitchell last night.
 When you see him, tell him I will race my car against his in the Phoe- nix race, the winner to take both cars. If that doesn't suit him, I'll post a side bet of $1,000 that my Fiat can beat the National"

Imperial Valley
 Has Water Troubles
The Calexico Chronicle says:

The Cdl0XlcO chronicle says:
 There are many ranchers along the main canal who are wondering how real the recent decision of Judge Hut ton was. They have an idea that it was not .genuine-this decision, the gist of which was that any farmer de- manding water of the C. D. company at the main canals would have to be served with water as the c. D. is a common carrier.
 The reason for the uneasiness and unsettled condition, is Receiver Hola- bird. MT. Holabird says in effect: Nothing Doing-No water will be served at the main canals to individu- als until the appeal in the supreme court is decided"
 A Calexico rancher rendered $50 to the receiver under the decision say ing: Heres the money, give me the water" He was refused.
 Water Company No. is conduct ing the appeal and paying the ex- penses.
 The appeal may take years to get through. In the meantime Receiver Holabird is standing pat
 Attorneys will, in a few days, ask Judge Cole for an order. compelling the receiver to deliver water according to the Hutton decision.

Honolulu Yams

Yuma, July 21, 1911 Several farmers in the valley have asked me to write to the bureau of plant industry for information regard ing the Honolulu yam, and in order that they may know the result of this hope you will have space for the enclosed letter which is all that I now have on the subject.

No Road Work;
 Then No Money
The Tucson Star says:

The Tucson Star says:
 derstanding that at least ten miles of territorial highway shall be built from Tucson out in one direction or anoth- CT, shall oppose an appropriation and tax by this county for territorial high way purposes
 So spoke N. E. Plumer, when asked about the proposed conference that will be held in this city next week be- tween the territorial engineer, the cit izen member of the board of control, the president of the good roads asso- citation and the Tucson member of the association. It was originally stated that the party would visit Tucson on July p or 27, but as the former day was inconvenient, it is probable that the conference in Tucson will be held next Thursday.
 The visitors are anxious for the counties of the territory to appropriate as Hberally as they did last year. It is also understood that they are anx- ious for the continuance of the work on the north and south highway. They ~ill visit Tucson, Tombstone, Bisbee and Douglas before coming here, for Cochise county is threatening to cut the appropriation to 5c. But here in Pima they will nave the alternative of doing certain amount of work or a failure to appropriate

prepared without bias and without ref
erence to politics.
Upon the facts reported by the board.
the president has prepared his mes
sage. The president states In q general
way his opinion as to the meaning OF
the boards report and makes a recon-
mendation for a sweeping reduction In
the wool duties.
It is known he does not advocate FREQ
wool, nor does the report Of the board
justify anything Of the kind. But the
heavy duty imposed on this product is
to be subjected, II the president has his
way, to a radical cut and the compen-
satory duties which have concealed the
tremendous protection the wool inter-
ests have enjoyed are to be abolished
The president also will recommend III
the strongest kind Of language the en-
actment Of law authorizing a perma-
nent tariff commission. This recon-
mendation will not be adopted by con-
gres. 1t will be opposed by the demo-
Gratis, and as they are in the majority
in the lower house they will have their
way. In making the recommendation
the president is actuated by his desire
to have the county realize the value
of scientific investigator Of tariff
schedules and put the responsibility
upon the democrats for failure to con-
TIME them.
He has been advised that the house
will not grant an appropriation for the
existing tariff board, which. conse-
auently. will expire on June so next,
when the funds available will have been
exhausted.
