WARNS STEAMSHIP COMPANIES.
Notice Issued Regarding Precautions
in Ice Region.

Apparently the naval photographic Of
fee does not sanction the custom of many
transatlantic steamer captains. as devel-
oped by the Titanic inquiry in England,
Of driving ahead at full speed through
fog and ice, in order to reduce to a mini
mum the period Of time in which the ship
may be exposed to danger.
In a notice to the steamship companies
that 1t is considered safe to go back to
the old routes, 1t is expressly provided
that all companies will. at the same time,
require their captains to double the look
out while near the ice region, and slow
down. or even stop. during thick or foggy
weather.
1t is also advised that steamers slow
down to half speed at night, even in
clear weather.

DR.. William NJ. Davidson, school super

the portable buildings owned by the Dis

which Of them may be used for accommo-
dating the Park View children. He de-
cided that two buildings on the site OF

purpose
At present Park View children are ac-
commodated in the Petworth School,
where conditions are crowded. Dr. Da-
wilson said no decision has been reached
as to whether the portable buildings will
be sent to the Petworth or the Park View
site. In either event, he said, the con-
gested condition in Park View would be
relieved.

.AR|z0NA'S PROJECT IS
NOT A NOVEL PROPOSITION

| The proposal made by citizens OF
Phoenix, Ariz., to the citizens of San
] Diego, to the effect that Arizona will
absorb Imperial and San Diego county,
probably will not be taken with the
greatest degree of seriousness, and
yet there is one feature of the case
that was presented by this publication
several years ago, and which then
awakened a wide coment
This is the desirability that exists
for bringing the lower Colorado river
under the control Of one body Of citi-
zens. AS it is now the river is con-
trolled in part by Arizona, in part by
California, in part by the national gov
ernment, and still further by the re-
public of Mexico.
The old practice of making rivers
dividing lines between political units
does not fit in well with the practices
of an irrigated country, and in this
case the editor of the Press has for
years advocated making the Colorado
river the backbone of a great state of
which irrigation would be the corner
stone.
1t is presumed there is nothing tC
this proposal more than talk and lit
tie probability of it getting beyond
that stage, for the promoters of the
scheme do not appear to have consid-
cred 1t in it's development features 50

CONGRESSIONAL QUESTION
IS CONSIDERED anew

San Diego is now giving considerable
attention to the question of that city
furnishing a candidate for congress
from this district, but singularly
enough, those who are discussing the
question are taking it up from pure
ly local standpoint, without reference
to the statistical situation.
There are four or five San Diegans
who are thought to be in a receptive
mood, and the citizens there are dis
cussing the question of eliminating all
the candidates but one. The peculiar
feature of the case is, however, that
San Diego county possesses about one
fourth of the population of the con-
gressional district, and cannot possi-
bly, name the candidate without hav-
ing alliances, and yet the question of
alliances does not appear to be given
any consideration
