RACE COURSE DEPENDS

While the people of Holtville are
crowding construction of their road
through the sand hills, the people of
San Diego are on the anxious seat
and are bombarding the Press for
guarantee that the road will be avail
able for use for the San Diego-Phoe-
nix race. 1t has been impossible to
give such guarantee, though the
probability is that the road will be in
condition by that date, and positive in
formation on this point will be obtain
able within two days, the Press is in
formed.
All provisions are made for the San
Diego race to Phoenix, sanction hav-
ing been given by the A. A. A. and
prize money having been raised.
The race will start from San Diego
at the same time the racers leave Los
Angeles for the same destination, and

San Diego will have all the advantage
Of the course, and will make very
much better time.
The San Diego course alone will lead
through the center of the valley, and
will alone put this valley really on

SO far as the Los Angeles race is
concerned, there does not seem to be
any prospect that it will use the Holt

WILL QUIT SHIPPING
CHINESE INTO MEXICO

For weeks every few days from one
to three carloads of Cinnamon, locked
in their cars, have been taken south
through the valley to Mexico, and this
been clearly understood here. In
general way it was understood they
were being taken through this country
in bond, but it seemed incredible that
places could be found for so many of
them in Lower California. Now it ap-
pears this movement is to be stopped
the following from the Los Angeles Tri-
bune throwing some light on the sub
ject:
"As a solution to the serious problem
recently manifested in the exclusion OF
Chinese laborers who have been trans
ported in bond from American ports
into Mexico, the immigration authori-
ties, together with the steamship com
panies operating between American
ports and the Orient, have concluded
not to grant future applications for
transit in this manner until after the
present great influx of Orientals ceas e.
according to Charles r. Connell in
spector in charge of the local immi-
grafton bureau, the Chinese are being
lured to Mexico by the prospect of pro
curing American residence through
Of Mexico by the United
states. 1t is said that a report to this
effect that the United States is about
to annex Mexico has been freely cir
culated in China and that the emigra-
ton from that country has been tre-
mendous as result.
During the past few weeks nearly |
1000 Chinese have passed through the
United States in transit from China to
been unsuccessful in their quest for
employment and have drifted across |
the international boundary line, being !
subject to arrest and deportation upon
entering American territory Inspec-
tor George Webb arrived in Los Ange- !
les from CaleXico yesterday morning i
with ten Chinese laborers, all of whom, !
were transported in bond into Mexico |
recently.
This influx has been SO great that |
the government has decided to take !
drastic steps in the matter, and as re- |
[usal to grant applications for tran
SIT In bond is the only effective rem |
edy, the government has decided to in |
yoke this method.
Because responsibility rests to a |
great extent with the steamship com
panieS. these companies have agreed |
10 cooperate with the government in 1
