CONGRESSIONAL SITUATION
IS B0THER|NG SAN DIEGO

San Diego is still wrought up ovel
the congressional situation, and is ap-
parently still considering only the need
of improving the harbor and getting a
candidate who will stand on that one
issue
Still there are a few citizens there
who insist on having a candidate in
the field who will recognize that the
congressional office has bearing on
national issues and who believe this
district should have a candidate who
is abreast of the progressive policy.
State Committeeman Edgar Luce Is
making a fight to this end, apparently.
but at a conference held in San Diego
a few days since, Senator Leroy
Wright is quoted to have said:
"Oh. let him get run over and get
his shins barked"
\ From which it appears that the
steam roller is attempting to do it's
work in this district.

AUTOMOBILE RACE WATCHED
BY ENTHUSIASTIC CROWDS

The Fourth of July automobile race
through Imperial valley was great
success from the standpoint of the in
terest of the public at large The fact
that the people were able to see the
race through a stretch of GA miles
made it unnecessary to assemble the
people at any one point, but at all the
towns there were good many from
the farms.
Brawley as the starting and finish
ing point, drew heaviest on the crowds,
and there a very enjoyable day was
passed. with good order prevailing.
With eleven cars entered, but three
finished the three trips around the val
ley. and two of these were Bucks. The
Knox car dropped a piston, the Pope
Toledo burned out a bearing. the Mer-
Ger developed trouble, the Hudson
broke a crank shaft, the Chalmers was
forced to drop out in the second round.
and neither of the two Roos was able
to get around the first heat. The Ford
was not started as the threat was
made to protest it on the ground that
the driver was a professional.
Those actually in the race were:
Lovelace of CalexicO in Knox, Ruth of
Brawley in Pope-Toledo, Ed Lyons OF
Silsbee in Buick, Conant of Ell Centre
in Buick, Gochenour of Holtville in
Mercer, Bear of Imperial in Halliday,
Sherwood of FL Centre in Hudson, Nc
Coy of Calexico in Chalmers. Cox Of
Holtville in REQ and Fuller of Ell Cen
tro in REQ.
At the first Lyons took the lead and
held ii to the finish. The Mercer for
time held second place, but this was
taken in the first lap BY COnant, and
Imperial Valley press., 1912-07-05

was held to the end, with Bear follow
ing. Time: Lyons, ) hours II minu-
tes 80 seconds; Conant. . hours 46
minutes 30 seconds; Bear, 6 hours 50
minutes 5S seconds.
The time was about an hour less
than was generally expected, and there
was a feeling of satisfaction that the
race was ended with no one hurt in
spite of the rapid time made.
The prizes were worth cOntesting
for. being, first, $2165: second, $3.50:
third, $3.50; fourth, $165. Several eff
forts were made to get in to take the
fourth prize, but they all failed.
The race was of the nature of a hard
endurance run, the roads affording
severe test of the machines.
Delightful Day
No portion of the country could
have had more perfect weather for the
celebration of the natal day of the
nation, for the temperature was ideal
and there was a calmness to the gentle
zephyrs which added to the comfort OF
the time.
There were number of picnic
parties which enjoyed the day, notable
being that of the Presbyterian church
III the grove opposite the city pumping
plant. where those assembled were
able to witness the cars as they passed
and enjoy themselves socially between
times.
Aside from the sports there was lit
tie in the celebration that recalled old
time reminders of the day, there be-
ing no patriotic program in any part
of the valley. Dances in Brawley and
Imperial closed the festivities of the

SMALLER FEDERAL FORCE, OVER HUNDRED KILLED

Mexico City, Mex, Feb. 10.-Zapat-
ista revolutionary troops, attempting
to close in on and effect the capture
OF Mexico City and the government
capitol, today were met and given
battle by Mexican federal troops at
Horse Shoe Hill. fifty miles south of

feated by the government forces,
more than one hundred of the insur.
gents being killed.
The engagement is to be extended
and more terrific fighting is expected
To take place before many hours Two
thousand men were in the rebel army,
while the federal force numbered but
twelve hundred men.
This is the most important battle
that has as yet been fought by the
Madero troops and the insurgents and
1t is expected that the defeat will
somewhat discourage the revolution

The rebel force held the hill and
were pushing toward this city to
make an attack when they were at
tackled by twelve hundred federal
troops By deploying south, the fed
erals We're able to separate the rebel
force and centered the attack on the
left wing
This act drove the revolutionists
flom their base and although they
rallied and put terrific fight. they
were finally forced to retire.

SCHOOL HOUSE NEAR
PILOT ROCK BURNS

School district No. 81, near Pilot
Rock, is without school house this
morning as a result of a fire which
Completely consumed the structure last
night. According to Oliver Knots.
one of the directors the flames were
discovered at O'Clock last night
but had gained such headway that
nothing could be done to save the
building. The origin of the fire is
not known but it is believed to have
started from a spark from a defective
flue.
Insurance to the amount of $1,000
was carried on the building and this
will be applied toward the eonstruc-
ton of new building some time dur
ing the summer.
The school term lacked about six
weeks of concluding but it is expect
ed that some arrangements will be
made whereby school can be contin-
ued in temporary quarters.

ANTI-YAhKEE FEELING
ALARMS WASHINGTON
Causes War Department to
Go SIow---HOstiIe Act
Means War

Washington, d. c., Feb. 10.-Al-
arming reports of the probability of
an anti-American uprising in Mexico
reach the state department of the
United states here today from Ameri-
can consular representatives in the
troubled country, who state that this
would undoubtedly follow an invas-
ion of Mexico by American troops.
1t was this morning authoritively
stated in official circles that this
possibility is the one thing that has
prevented the United States govern
ment from sending her troops across
the border to intervene in the revolt.
1t is estimated that there are at
least forty thousand American citi-
zens now in Mexico and whose lives
would be endangered and possibly
many slaughtered before American
troops could subdue the country
War department officials today de-
clare that at least one hundred thou
sand American troops could be mob
ilized along the Mexican border with
in a week All arrangements for
this are complete and the orders for
the movement of the coast artillery
and militia of the various states, now
lies on the desk of Major General
Wood, awaiting his signature and
transmission to the various command
ers, as soon as it is deemed necessary
to take such a step.
1t is admitted by officials today
that the slightest hostile move on
the part of the Mexicans against AM
orleans, will be sufficient cause for
signing the orders and sending them
| out.

Adding materially to the prospects
Of a good year in building activities
was the announcement made this
morning of contract entered into
yesterday afternoon b. w. f. Matlock
and b. F.. Tromley whereby the for-
mer is to construct q concrete build
