VARIOUS ROUTES PLANNED

Los ANG ELES, Oct. 4.-Three great
national highway movements, with Los
Angeles as the Pacific coast terminus
may be the elimination of plans now
on foot, directed by the business men
of this city, who are associated with
the Los AngelesColtonY Ocean
tc Ocean Highway auxiliary. President
John s Mitchell of the auxiliary, who
also is president of the National
Ocean-to Ocean association, made pub
lie yesterday the nature of correspond
ence which tells the story of the ne
gotiations.
The Ocean-to-Ocean Highway as
sociation has some 100000 members.
and proposes to build the national
highway link by link, each community Y
doing its share under a systematized
plan to which all are agreed.
The Coast-to-Coast Rock Highway
association was recently organized in
Indianapolis to build a fine road from
New York by way Of indianapolis
Omaha. Denver and Salt Lake TO San
Francisco. II has levied an assess
ment on all the manufacturers of au-
tomobiles and automobile accessories
in the country, and its officers report \
fund of upward Of $1,000, 900 already
obtained.
The National Old Trails Road asso-
citation, incorporated is a Kansas City.
Mo. enterprise, with an extensive or
ganization recently perfected but "
ing principally east of st. Louis. This
association proposes a national high
way from coast to coast by way of the
historic trails of the south and south
west, beginning with the old Cumber-
land road, leading west from the At
lantic coast into Kentucky, and used
by thousands of the men who built
up the then west. From Kansas City
the route followed will be that of the
Santa Fe Trail into New Mexico, and
from Santa Fe it is proposed to follow
the old David Paterfield stage line
road through New Mexico, Arizona and
southern California to Los Angeles and
thence up the coast to San Francisco.
The latter route is precisely that
proposed to be followed by the Ocean

TO SELL FRANCHISE
FOR GAS EXTENSIONS

The supervisors yesterday on petit
pany. ordered an advertisement pub
hshed offering for sac a franchise for
gas pipes on county roads to cover
a large part of the irrigated portion
of the county. This is in line with
the steady extension of the system of
the petitioning corporation. Under
the terms of this sale ii will be neces-
sary for the company within three
years to begin construction on each
line.
The company is about to begin eX-
tensions in Ell Centre. for which the
pipe has begun TO arrive and for which
work a large ditching machine ar
rived last evening Immediately fol
lowing this there will be extensions
made 10 the system in Imperial and
Imperial to Brawley and an extensive
system of pipes will be laid in that
city.
All this work will be completed dur
ing the coming winter, and the ex-
tensions in other directions will be
made later. until there will be a sys-
tenn of pipes radiating from the plant
il FL Centre to cover all the towns of
the valley. this being the most econom-
ical method of meeting the demand

towns of the old order. but it is not in
tice of this day, and the women folk
propose to change the condition, and
the men folk very generally will CO.
operate with them.
Another feature of the work TO
which the women will give attention
is the matter of garbage, for the dis
posal of which there is now no system,
and in which respect there is the most
imperative need for reform.
Still another feature is the enforce
ment of the state laws regarding the
handling of food articles in stores,
where at the present time in many
cases articles of food are left exposed
Aside from these things, the city
trustees will be asked to pass certain
ordinances regulating the keeping of
livestock in the city and the disposal
one of the chief causes for complaint
in the past.
Taken as a whole, the campaign is
timely, and will awaken a quick re-
sponse from the entire population, and
for the time being the, women will be
the despotic queens of the city and
the males will be their subservient
subjects.

date the two organizations have been
working Independently, and there has
grown up trifiing Jealousy between
them. This President Mitchell of the
Ocean to Ocean association and Presi-
dent ]. NJ. Lowe of the Old Trails or
ganization are earnestly seeking to
obviate, and with the two presidents
in this frame of mind it is highly prob
able that the organizations will become
one. The matter will come up for set
tlement, as far as the Ocean-to-Ocean
Highway association is concerned, at
the next convention, which is to be
held in Santa Fe, n. NJ, in November.
In all probability the Old Trails as
sociation will take action at or about
the same time.

WOMEN WILL MAKE CAMPAIGN
AGAINST MENACES TO HEALTH

The announcement is made that the
Woman's Ten Thousand club is pre-
pairing to make a thorough campaign
for better sanitary conditions in FL
Centre, a fact that will be received
with pleasure by everybody. The com :
munity as a whole cannot but realize
that work of this kind is needed, but
individually we are all inclined to
lapse from the best practice we know
Of, and there are certain conditions
noticeable throughout the city which
can only be construed as a menace
to health.
One of the features of the work will
be the cleaning up of the town, in
Guiding lots, alleys and streets. with
a view to making of it the proverbial
spotless town.
Another feature will be a thorough
eradication of the breeding places for
flies, which exist in any community
simply through sufference of the peo-
pie. There are some persons who be-
lieve that the fly is here as a matter of
climate, when as a matter of fact it is
here because of filth, and because of
the filth the fly is enabled to carry the
germs of disease.

paign. The newspapers will be used
for the display of instructive illus
trated talks, cards will be inserted in
the street cars and the school chill
dren will be furnished with blotters
containing an illustration of accidents
and talks on how to avoid them.
The result of the campaign is ex-
pected to materially reduce the num-
Der of accidents resulting from street
cars and will post passengers on how
to board and alight from a car. The
women will come in for a large part
of the instruction and the many minor
accidents that occur almost daily will
be entirely eliminated.
In brief, some of the don't" rules
to be emphasized are the following:
. Don't get off until the car stops.
Don't jump on or off a car while
moving at speed.
Don't get off facing the rear of a
car.
Don't put your head or arms out of
the window.
Don't ride on the steps OF car.
Don't pull the bell rope.
Don't drive out of a cross street on

the way is clear.
Don't allow your children to run

Don't cross the track behind the car
from which you have just alighted

vehicle is coming from the other di,
