.C0NTEMPLlTEs ACQUISITION
OF CAUSAN ARCHIPELAGO

wASHINGT TON, Sept. 3O.-T h g
United States may acquire a big naval
base in Asia as the result Of the re-
cent rejection by China Of the $780,
100000 international loan. This naval
base is the Chinese Chau-San archipei-
ago, at the mouth of the Yangtse river,
near Nigno.
|. 1t is reported here that the state
department is about to take up with
the Chinese republic a proposition on
the part OF the United States to pay
China an immense amount for a hun
dred years lease of Chusan. An effort
may be made to buy the archipelago
outright.
China needs money and it is be-
lieved by diplomats here that she
would see a way out of her financial
difficulties by ceding or leasing Chu-
san to the United States.
China would rather cede or lease
Chusan to this country than any Euro
pean nation, say the diplomats, be-
cause Pekin regards the United States
as the only real friend of China among
the powers. The Chinese government
the diplomats declare, would regard
an American naval station at Chusan
pean powers to eventually partition
China.
The Pekin government would have
two weighty reasons for allowing this
country to control Chusan. The
United States would pay enough cash
for the archipelago to put China on
her feet financially and an American
naval station on the Chinese coast
would be standing menace to plans
of the European powers to carve up
the infant republic. For these reasons
1t is believed in Washington that the
big project may become a reality.
England, Italy, Germany and France
within the last two years have in turn
asked China to sell or lease Chusan,
but were refused. At one time China
planned to create her principal naval
station at Chusan.
Possession of Chusan by the United
states, according to naval strategists,
would give this country Gibraltar in
the far East, and would enable the
United States to WELD a preponderat-
ing influence in the Pacific, besides
having base from which the Philip
pines could be better protected in
event of war with Japan.

TO PROTECT WATER RIGHTS

Imperial Enterprises: The first meet =
ing Of the mutual water companies ad-
visory committee since last June was
held Wednesday in Imperial, and the
bylaws reported by a Subcommittee e
were adopted.
Protection. of the water rights of I'm
perial valley from invasion by various
projects Of diversion on the Upper Col
orado was the most important subject
considered and the president, secretary
and T. P. willard were instructed to
revise and perfect the form Of Motif
cation to promoters of such projects,
which had been prepared for the COM
panies by Mr.. Britt.
The purpose Of this action Is to give
notice of prior appropriation. so that
no project may be started without full
understanding of the legal claim of
Imperial valley to so much of the flow
of the river as can be used benefi-
cially through the existing canals and
extensions that are under way. The
river at its lowest stages carries but
1000 second feet of water and the
original appropriation made by the
California Development Company was
10000 second feet. The valley is now
using about $500 second feet. Prof.
ects for use of any considerable part
of this low stage flow on the upper
river obviously should provide for stor-
age reservoirs to conserve food wa
ters.
This matter of conservation of flood
waters and apportionment of supply
according to rights of users Is one to
be dealt with by the proposed inter-
national commission that the govern
ment at Washington has promised to
create with the cooperation of Mexico
The advisory committee favors the Sc
lection of c. r. lockwood the origin al
promoter and engineer of the Imperial
valley irrigation system, as member
of the commission.
The advisory committee discussed
the problem of protecting canal banks
from the Injurious operations of 60
piers and muskrats, and directed the
secretary to formulate plan for sys-
tematic determination of the burrow-
ties be paid for the animals and the
expense apportioned among the COM
panies according to shares Of stock is
sued, the advisory committee to act as
clearing house for all.
At the next meeting of the commit
tee, October 4, the silt problem will
be considered and it is expected that
Engineer Allison will be present to aid
in it's solution.

RECEIVER ANDRADE TAKES OVER
LAST GATE IN SHARP'S HEADING

The latest move in the interesting
game being played between the receiv
ers of the California Development Com
ranv system for Mexico and for the
United states has resulted in new
move by the Mexican receiver, An
drade.
The intricacies of this game and the
hidden purposes are such that no one
not behind the scenes can sit in judg-
meut upon them, except in a general
sort of way it is recognized as a con-
flict for possession between conflict
ing interests.
That each side recognizes the undis-
puted rights of the farmers of the val
ley and that each intends to meet the
demands is the most evident fact, and
that is the one wherein the interests
of this valley are alone concerned.
Late Saturday there were rumors
afioat that something was being done
in connection with Sharp's heading,
bat while the physical work was done
just below the line, the directors of
the movements were in Los Angeles,

NATIONAL HIGHWAY FUND
IS INCREASING RAPIDLY

Los Angeles Tribune: Fivce thous-
and dollars a day is the rate at which
the ean-to ocean highway commit
tees are gathering in the subscrip-
tions to make the dream of national
highway a realized fact. Although
yesterday was a half holiday, the Wig
orous and enthusiastic committees IN
charge came within few hundred of
reaching the $25O0 mark, which is at
the $4,000 a-day rate. The subscrip'
tions yesterday totaled $225O actually
reported. and it is considered probable
that there were others received by
workers and not turned in.
The First National bank set the pace
for the banks of the city by depositins
$1,000 in the fund, and it is expected
that the others will follow Monday
with big donations. Hamburger &
Sons, through w. E. Chamberlain, in
vested" $500 in the project, A. Fusenot,
through G. Fusenot, gave $3.50, and
Meyer Siegel company, Birkel, the
Steinway piano man; w. P. Jeffries q
Co., the Orpheum and the Alexandria
Hotel company subscribed 800 each.
Although these subscriptions were
reported and gratefully accepted by
the finance committee. working with
President John S. Mitchell and Secre-
tary j. ]. Jenkins. most of the half
day was spent in laying out the work
for the next week. 1t had been sup

all done but the subscriptions are
larger than had been expected, the In
terest is more general and in order 20
cover the field efficiently and quickly

campaign on a much more comprehen-
sive basis.
A thoroughly organized corps Of Of

Chamber of Commerce building and

will report every day. Chairman Hal
deman of the finance committee has
been up to his ears in work since the

is set forth by the Times as follows:
Sharp's heading and the east side
heading, the two great gates near CAL
eXico, on the Mexican side of the in
ternational boundary which control the
entire irrigation system of the Cali
fornia Development Company in Impe-
rial valley, were forcibly seized by
agents of A. F. Andrade, receiver of
the Mexican canal company, yesterday
morning, according to advices received
in the afternoon by Col. w. H. Hola-
bird, receiver for the California De
velopment Company. The Mexican
company is a subsidiary to the Califor-
MIA company, but has jurisdiction over
the canals of the system lying within
Mexican territory.
After seizing the gates, Andrade's
agents locked them and posted notices
signed with their principals name,
warning off trespassers.
Colonel Holabird was notified of the
seizure by j. C. Allison, chief engineer
