The base ball game last Sunday
was all Indian. The Parker Yanni-

Parker imitation players chased Ii,
From the point of view of the few
fans who watched the game between
clouds OF dust, lit was a poor exhibi-
ton OF baseball. One dust covered
rooter suggested that the local gram
mar school team be substituted TO,
the regulars until the latter got in
form again.
The winning streak which the Pa

RIVER CAUSES
MUCH DAMAGE
TOWN OF NEEDLES MENACED
BY ANGRY WATERS.
Reinforced Concrete Wall Goes
Out and Bank Is Going Fast.
Water Main Ruined.

The river situation at Needles, ac-
cording to advioes reaching Par
ker the past few days, lis more ser
ious than at amy previous time. TUES
day the flood carried out the big wa
ter main of the water plant supply
ing that community with domestic
water, and only a smaller lime, which
is now less than 100 feet from the
boiling flood, remains between the
town and severe water famine.
There seems hardly a hope that
the ONE main can be saved. Train
loads of rock and brush are being
dumped along the water front in an
effort to stay the progress OF this
gnawing waters, but little headway
is noticed.
The heavy rock wing dam thrown
out into the river is holding well, but
is the very dam that has brought
destruction ito the large water mann.
1t forced the current against the
banks farther DOWN the Sbream, and
has created a menacing situation.
Never in the history of the town
has flood been known to eat away
the embankment as rapidly as the
present flood is doing. Though the
town is ON rising ground. the earth
is being carried away SO rapidly that
there is gravest apprehension

es indicate considerable rise in

ENTRYMEN WILL
BE GIVEN RELIEF
Senate Passes ChuckawaIIa Bill With
mendment-Extends Time With
In Which Entrymen May Prove up
on Their Claims.

A recent Washington dispatch
states that Senator Works reported
from the public lands committee
substitute for Senator Perkins's
~Chtckawalla desert land bill. Fl was
passed at once by the senate The
bill as passed is nominally No. 65OS,
amended, but the language is radio
ally changed in accordance with
report from the Interior Department,
which says:
Investigations of the facts and
conditions surrounding the entries re-
ferred to show that the entrymen
were induced to make their filings
from possibly false representations as
to the feasibility of irrigation projects
from which they expected to obtain
water and as to the suitability of
the land for the growing of citrus
fruits, by a locating firm to whom
they and a large number of men were
induced to pay a locating fee of 81
per acre, and the facts, so far as
they are known to this department,
are not sufficient to fully justify a
conclusion as to whether these lands
can be profitably irrigated, and there
are no funds available from which
it could make the expenditure neces-
sary to ascertain these facts.
Representations made to this de
partment on behalf of the persons in
terested in the entries indicate that
they will need additional time to
make the investigation to justify
them in further expenditure of money
to obtain title.
These facts induced this depart
ment to submit to Senator Perkins
en- April %, 1912, draft of pro-
posed bill which was introduced by
him as Senate bill Nc. 6508, now un-
der consideration. Representation
have been made to this department
that the bill does not include all of
the townships in which entries af
fected as hereinbefore set out are
located and telegraphic information re-
ceived from the register and receiver
of the United States Land Office at
Los Angeles indicates that the en-
tries under which relief should be
given are as follows:
''Thirty4three entries in townships
and 5, S. r. Is, E.; ninety six
In townships 4 and 5, S. R. 16,
E.; ninety7nine entries in townships
4, 5 and 6, S. R. II, E.; 115 entries

S. R. 22, E.; making a total of 780
entries. 1t will be observed from
this that some of the townships en-
umerated in the pending bill possibly
do not include entries of this char
acter.

partment has no power to relieve
these entrymen from further and i'm
