MAY SOON HAVE DECISION
ON P0s1OFF|CE LOCATION
Inspector for This District Has Made
His Recommendation to Washing
ton Officials and Returns are Due.

1t is among the probabilities that
within the next few days an announce
ment will be made by the postal de-
partment In regard to the new location
for the Ell Centre postoffice.
This matter has been dragging
along for months, until the public has
almost forgotten that 1t is still on the
list. But on the 18th of November the
postoffice inspector who visited Ell Gen.
tro several times in connection with
the advertisement for bids for a new
location notified Postmaster Miller that
he had forwarded to Washington his
recommendation as to the site and that
a notification as to the final action of
the Washington authorities may be
expected here within thirty days.
1t is very likely that whatever action
is taken by Uncle Sans representa-
tive will insure for Ell Centro a new
business block.
The space required in the new post
office quarters will give ample room
for sorting tables, cancelling machine,
ETC., and all this will greatly facilitate
the handling of the constantly growing
business of the Ell Centre office.

Additional Work on Highway via
Mammoth to Yuma.

BraWley News At a meeting of the
asts of Brawley Tuesday night in the
city hall, plans were laid Tor the fur
tier Improvement of the road from
Yuma to Brawley Preliminary steps
were also taken to provide new road
on the west shore of the Salton Sea
from Brawley to Mecca.
The Improvement of the Yuma road
is in charge of the same committee
that paved the way in part for the
coming of the Raymond & Whitcomb
transcontinental tourists-Peter How
ley, r. c. Jeckell and c. ]. Park. 1t is
agreed by those who have been over
it that the worst piece of road on the
Yuma route lies about nine miles west
of the Arizona city. where the high
way winds up wash from the reser-
vation to the mesa. Several stretches
of heavy sand in that locality provide
heavy travel for automobiles.
By Keeping farther up on the side OF
the arroyo, and doing a certain amount
of work at the top of the grade, the
committee hope to render the entire
road feasible for travel by tbe ordi-
nary automobile, travelling alone. The
members will proceed to have this
work done Immediately, as party of
tourists is expected at Yuma within
a week, coming over the Trail to
Sunset.

He. and some of his friends were sore
about it, and they expressed feelings
which are not unlike those that drive
labor into the use of force. But as
the conversation went along it was
represented to them that they also
were guilty of wrongs to labor, and
that part of the fault for the condition
in Los Angeles was theirs. And there
was no denial of it. This was the spirit
which gives an outsider the sense that
if Los Angeles really goes at this job it
can really do something. Certainly, no

THAT SAN ANTONIO TRIP.
Further Plans For Officers of Michigan
Troops are Made.

Colonel Cox and Colonel Rogers of
the state troops have decided that the
Michigan officers who will go to the
maneuver camp at San Antonio will
leave Chicago over the Michigan Cen
trail railroad and from Chicago to San
Antonio by the Rock Island. Just what
day the 1876 Michigan officers will
leave has not been definitely decided
upon, although they think it will be the
last of this week or the first of next
week. Part of the officers will mobilize
in Detroit and the rest will mobilize in
Grand Rapids, and they will meet in
Chicago and proceed in one train to
Texas. The officers going from Detroit
will leave on a special train composed
of Pullman sleepers about 10 o'clock
in the morning leaving Chicago that
same night and arriving in San Anto-
MO SO hours later
1t has been estimated that il will
cost the United States government
$4,000 to transport the 1856 Michigan
officers to Texas and keep them there
for 20 days. These plans and cost of
transportation were telegraphed 10 the
war department at Washington last
night.

There will be no increase this year

go and various points I'm the west dur
ing the coming summer failed of re-
suit. While the eastern lines have not
formally announced that last years
rates will prevail this season In their
territory. II is regarded as n certainty
that they WILL With western lines re-
fusing to elevate prices II Is said. the
eastern roads will take no chance of
losing business by increasing rates.

pected, official notices will be issued
by a number OF roads disclosing the
summer tourists rates that will be in
force this year. Many OF the roads
both In the east and the west were In
favor OF increasing prices, but they
were deferred from acting by the stand
taken by some of the other roads
Rates TO state fairs were also discussed
at the meeting but no action on the
subject was reached.
