How 10 Care for Tires

Pneumatic tires will give service #
given the proper attention. The in
stant fault is found careful investi-
CATION should be made to ascertain the
remote cause. Immediate action should
be taken, and the tire, instead of de-
veloping a chronic case of trouble, will
stand a chance of running a mileage
perhaps twice or three times as long
as otherwise possible, says J. b. Cox.
determination, overlooking and i'm
proper alignment are evils that are
common, but close attention will easily
detect them. Road conditions also play
an important part in the life of tires.
Stone bruises and cuts are ruinous TO
automobile tires. Take the trouble
early in the game, use a little plastic
or quick repair gum and fix the cut
or the bruise, and perhaps the unex-
pected blowout will be avoided. Out
side these common faults there are
others none the less important which
undermine the life and strength of a
tire. Nurse your tires and give them
close scrutiny.
A word on imitation. 1t is common
practice among car owners to drive
their cars on tires not properly in
fiated. This is altogether wrong if the
life of tires is taken into considera-
tion. The car may ride a little easier,
but the owner pays dearly for his lux
ury. determination means a short life
for the automobile tire.
Tire manufacturers recognize that
more trouble is caused by. underinfia-
tion than from any other cause No
motorist should be without reliable
air gauge, and tires should be kept y.
the prescribed pressure. 20 pounds an
inch of the cross section. For in
stance, if a tire is four inches, then
the pressure of air in the tire should
be so pounds.
Overlooking is common fault
among motorists. 1t is not unusual
to see eight or nine persons riding in
a seven passenger car 1t is frequent
ly said that 5 per cent added to the
weight of a car adds Is per cent to
the wear and tear of tires So it can
easily be seen what the effect of over
loading has on the life of tires. It
means frequent punctures and blow
outs and early ruination
Brakes not properly adjusted are al
so hard on tires. One brake may be
working more freely than the other.
and one tire consequently may be COM
PEELED to stand all the strain of stop
ping the car. Adjust your brakes often.
Be careful also not to run in car tracks
or against curbs or in ruts. The side
walls of a tire are. as a rule thin and
built to give the utmost resiliency. A
motorist should be extra careful to
protect his tires at this point

COLvING SOME PROBLEMS

~ AS the Press has repeatedly said
there is no water problem" in Imperial
valley, but there are a number of
water problems"
In other words, the essentials of
abundance of water, cheapness of
water and excellent distribution OF
water are settled for all time. And
vet here, as in all live communities,
there are minor problems which must
be taken care of, and this condition
must go on for many years, as in other
irrigated districts, until the system Is
built up to an ideal situation.
Just now there is one issue presente1
the valley. and that is the disposition
OF the silt in the canals. Superintend-
ent Carberry of Water Company No. l
appeared before the supervisors yes
terday and presented a feature of this
question.
He said that in cleaning the bitches
of the silt it had been necessary for
him to encroach on the roads, and
there is much more work of this same
kind to be done and he can see no
other end than that there be still fur
ther encroachments.
AS a result of this presentation ar
rangements We're made for a confer
ence at 1880 Thursday afternoon at I'm
perial of the supervisors and the di-
Tectors of the water company, to con
slider the situation
Supervisor Bennett has recently been.
studying the situation at Yuma, and he
is inclined to think it will be desirable
TO 60 to Laguna dam for water, to
avoid the silt.
Engineer Allison is understood to
have worked out a plan for a catch
basin for the deposition of silt belo W
the international line, though his plan
implies expense of 100000.
1t may be that the irrigation district
will have different proposal to make
but it is becoming apparent that the
time is near at hand when in some
way this question of silt will have TO
be taken care of on a large scale.
Mr.. Allison's project seems very ex-
pensive, but implies but a small expense
per acre, and there is no doubt that it
would be cheaper than the present
method, which is expensive both to the
water companies and to the farmers in
dividually in maintaining their bitches
Herein lies one of the water prob
lens of the valley, and the fact that
we have got to the point where this is
given serious attention shows that we
nave made Tast strides in the develop
ment Of the valley.

The greatest educational entertain
ment ever presented in Imperial valley
is the reproduction of the adventures
and discoveries of the Carnegie Alaska
Siberian expedition in motion pictures
at the Opera house this week.
These pictures ran six solid weeks
in San Francisco the same length OF
time in Los Angeles at the Mason
Opera house and three weeks in San
Diego. After once seeing the exhibi-
tion one is not surprised by its popu-
larity.
With the company is J. C. Coombs,
the owner and manager of the show,
and S. A. Powell, the lecturer, who
starts out with a short talk on why
and how the pictures came TO be
taken. He then carries his audience
with him on trip to the frigid north
and keeps it there for two solid hours
and then safely returns his hearers
back to the sunny climes of California.
Mr.. Powell is an exceptionally clever

DECISION RENDERED IN
COLORADO FLOOD CASE

A San Diego paper gives the follow
ing details regarding a recent decision:
After having been in litigation more
than five years, the famous suit insti-
tuted by numerous ranchers of Impe-
rial county whose property was de-
stroyed by the overflow of the Colo
rado and the Salton sea food in 1905
was decided by Judge w. r. Guy of
the superior court.
Judge Guy made one of the largest
local court awards to the plaintiffs
who brought action against the Cali
fornia Development Company, Impe-
rial Water Company No. 1 and other
subsidiary concerns. 1t was for s7S,-
300, and apportioned among a score
or more of the litigants.
The story of the flood and the his
tory of the trial had formed interest
ing chapters in the annals of Imperial
valley and Southern California. The
incident is one of the fundamental
themes in Harold Bell Wright's ro-
nance of the valley as told in "The
Winning of Barbara Worth"
The case was not brought until 1907
and the trial begun about the first of
April, 1911, 73 ranchers asking for
S4O0,700 damages from the develop
ment companies, now held liable for
the thrush of water. All claims were
assigned to A. n. Jones, one Of the
heaviest losers, and the case was
brought in his name.
Trial Lasts Ten Weeks
Ten weeks were consumed in the
trial of the case setting a record for
duration in local courts The law
firm of Luce, Sloane Luce brought
the case for the claimants Then w.
A Sloane was called to the bench
in the superior court and the firm of
Luce G. Luce has continued it, The
Los Angeles firm of Hunsaker & Britt
with associates representing the vari-
Gus companies involved defended the
suit and all were represented by ~
M. Goodwin of the Hunsaker e. Britt
firm
Then judgment has been held under
advisement by Judge w. r. Guy, be-
fore whom the case was tried, since
it's completion more than a year ago
Edgar A. Luce and N NJ Goodwin
were present when the decision was
rendered and Judge w r. Guy gave
the reason for the long continuing cold
ing of the case as due to its extraord-
mary complications.
A Mexican development company, or
ganized and financed in Mexico, also
was named defendant in the original
suit but in rendering his decision
Judge Guy relieved this company from
liability and declared the California
Development Company and Imperial

"The Cost of Armed Peace is The
title of circulsr which shows from
government sources that the army
and navy have cost the United states
one billion and seventy-two million
in eight years. The sum exceeds the
national debt by Sl72,0O0,000. 1t is
three times the cost of the Panama
Canal. 1t is one aud one-fourth per
cent. of the total wages paid ia the
United States. The interest on the
amount would give an income of ST.

was only 100000 less than all gifts
for charities, libraries, educational in
situations, and other public causes in
1909 which amounted to 1885,, 900 900.
The ordinary income of the govern
ment for l90S-9 was 1904 100000 Of
which $423 900, 00e was expended on
war pensions and preparation for fu-
ture war, and $lSl 900 900 for all other

and 80 per cent for all other purposes.
One 26, 900 ton battleship costs $l2,-
