JULY COMES TO AN END
WITH PLEASANT WEATHER

This has been another of the series
of moderate summer days, bringing
July to a close with the most favor
able record in the history of the val
ley. Mercury barely touched 102.
We now face August, the last of the
strictly summer months, though warm
weather will continue until well into
September, with the nights growing
longer and collier and the days gradu-
ally sinking TO fall temperature.
Taken as whole, this has thus far
been a very agreeable summer, with
IL one day and Ill another as the
highest temperature and but few days
going above 105.
In one sense the heart of the sum-
mer has been passed. This is in the
fact that already the returning tide Of
people equals or slightly exceeds the
outgoing, and from this time on it can
be expected that the people actually in
the valley will show steady increase,
with the big rush of the people into
the valley to begin within another
month

DRASTIC PURE FOOD LAW

WASHINGTON, July 31.-The house
committee on Interstate and foreign
commerce yesterday voted to report
favorably the Sherley bill, the most
drastic pure food and drug measure
ever proposed. Medical lobbyists from
all over the country have been striving
for weeks to induce the committee to
shelve this bill. Under the present
law medicine manufacturers are al
lowed to print on the labels guaran-
tees of their curative qualities and
opinions purporting to come from med
ical experts. The Sherley bill pro,
hibits, under severe fine and imprison-
ment, the shipment in interstate COM

DIES or THIRST COMING
IN FROM CARR|SA CREEK

One more thrilling story OF death on
the desert from thirst is to be placed
OF record, the victim being a man
about 90 years OF age and supposed to
be Joseph Hodgkinson. He carried
letters from friends in Kirkland, Watts
and Compton, and among these was
one indicating that he was separated
from his wife.
Monday night man coming in from
Carrisa creek met Fred CheVvis at
the latter's farm, seven miles west of
Imperial, reported that a man was
coming across the desert with a light
rig, having fifty geese, and he was
afraid he would NOT be able to get
through. Chevvis rode ont Monday
morning to meet the man, but found
that he had turned about in an effort
to reach Carrisa, and ne returned and
gave the alarm, notifying the sheriff. S
office Tuesday morning.
Relief was at once started, but the
heavy rain of the day before had
made the road TO the west almost i'm
paSsable.
Tuesday night word came in that
the man had returned TO within nine
AiiltS VI OdtIlSd anu JGO lutIe Db6u
given water by a traveller. but was so
far gone that he died almost at once
That was at O'Clock Tuesday morn
ing.
Lack OF guideposts left the man no
means of knowing where he was, and
as he had got to within seven miles of
water before turning. il is evident
that if he had pressed ahead he would
have come through alive.
1t seems that the man left Carrisa
with five gallons of water but his
team was exhausted, and the fifty
geese and two horses made way
with the water before ne got across
the desert.
Last evening Coroner Peterson, IN
dertaker Shafer. Deputy Sheriff Kill
gore and James Cheney went after the
body, held an inquest and returned to
Ell Centro this morning.
No friend OF the dead man has been
found in the valley, and the friends
on the outside of the valley nave not
been heard from.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-The
United States treasury is in the odd
predicament of having lots of money
but being unable to pay for its trans
portation to sub-treasuries where the
money is needed. AS a consequence
there is a shortage among the treasury
branches of 81, 50 and s. bills 1t hap
pens that the demand for the move
ment of money is always unusually
large during the first part of the fiscal
year so the appropriation does not
