A DANGEROUS CROSSING

The Main street crossing of the
Southern Pacific in this city has de-
veloped into a dangerous place, since
the large amount of traffice on the
railroad has made frequent shunting
of cars over this crossing necessary.
Within the past three weeks there
have been some narrow escapes of
teams from being caught as cars are
pushed northerly from the freight
depot. This is matter which should
be taken up by the city trustees and
provision should be made by the rail-
road company for the stationing of
watchman at this point, at least while
the local freight trains are operating
In the yards here. If this is not done
It is certain that In the course of TIME
q bad accident will occur at this

THE CHORUS LADY" IS

Will Appear at Holt Opera House Next
Friday Evening to Depict Scenes
Back of the Curtain

The Chorus Lady,, on it's second
transcontinental tour, will be in Ell
Centro at the Holt Opera House on
Friday evening.
The Chorus Lady was written by
James Forbes, author of THE Travel
ing Salesman and The Commuters
and is the only play to reach a. second
years continuous run in New York
1t contains many novel scenes and sit
uations which are entirely out of the
ordinary for stage productions. The
second act shows a stage scene upon
stage and represents the great cho-
rus girls dressing room in the Long
acre Theater, New York. 1t is true to
life and depicts the scene behind the
stage when a roomful of girls are pre-
pairing their make-ups before the
show
The comedy throughout this act
comes fast and furious 1t is brimful
of stage talk and chorus girl slang,
and naturally contains many laughable
scenes and situations, and constant
flow of rapid fire conversation is kept
up from the time the curtain rises un-
til the end of the act.
One of the features also is bevy of
pretty and shapely girls, handsomely
costumed, which add especial interest
in way of realistic environment to this
great dressing room scene.

AND YUMA MAY HAVE TO
REARRANGE SCHEDULES
Southern Pacific Planning to Adopt
Mountain District Time for Trains
as Far as Colorado River Town.

According 10 story published in
the Tucson Star of Friday, the South
ern Pacific railroad will adopt noun
tain time for the operation of its trains
in New Mexico and Arizona and the
innovation will go into effect on De-
cember 6, says the Yuma Sun.
Mr. A !. Locke, agent, when talked
to about the matter yesterday said
that he had not been advised of any
change, but presumed that it was true.
The Southern Pacific west Of Ell Paso
has been using Pacific coast time.
When the change is made trains
from the east will come into Yuma on
mountain time and go out on Pacific
coast time The change will be made
here and watches will have to be set
up, one hour Yuma will be on noun
tain time and if the city decides to
run on the same time as the railroad
all watches and clocks will go back
one hour and we will have one hour
more Of day in the morning
Trains coming in from the vest will
arrive on Poetic coast time and go
out on mountain time In other words,
trains will go out an hour earlier than
they arrive or an hour later than they
arrive, according to the direction in
which they are going.
It will be little confusing in Yuma,
it matters not how the city may ar
range its time.

RUCT|ON At HAND BETWEEN

Notifies Col. Hoiabird that Con.

Trouble is at hand between the re-
ceiver of the California Development
Company, Col w. H. Holabird, and
the Sociedad de irrigation, the Mexi-
can company operating under the I'M
8erial canal system.
Yesterday Col. Holabird received
from w. j. Doran, treasurer of the
Mexican company, a letter stating
that the contract between the receiver
and the Mexican company is re-
scinded ----zas44. ,-rs9a+s-s #.'ss -=5=
This contract provides that all ex-
penditures on the canal. system on
the Mexican side are to be made only
upon the approval of the California
Development Company's chief engi-
neer. Col. Holabird contends that ex-
penditures have been proposed by the
officials of the Mexican company that
would in no manner aid in the ad-
vantageOus handling of water on the
American side and that he considered
were unnecessary. Therefore he re-
fused to approve them.
He states that the latter part of last
week he notified the officials of the
Mexican company that he is prepared
to move the dredge to the Mexican
side to clean the canals in that terri
tory, but that he shall insist that ex-
penditures of money shall be subject
to the same terms of approval as
heretofore prevailing.

well be over with at once.

necessary and sat up patiently and
waited for hubby's return. A useful
person certainly-one to love, to hon
or and obey.
Now the suffragette age is upon us
