STORIES SENT OUT
ABOUT THE FLOOD

BLYTHE, Cal, June 27.-It APP
pears that the daily papers
great duty is to try and arouse a
thrill among their readers, rather
than to give them the facts which
they are supposed ito give If they
garble UP all news items like they
have the present trouble we are hav-
ing here we should soon loose what
little faith We might have i'm the
dailies
The Los Angeles papers recently
sent out statements that cannot help
but give the readers the wrong idea,
and from their statements We would
think everything had gone by the
board. They stated that the dykes
had all washed out, and that the en-
tire valley was under from two to
four feet Of water; that the water
was about to again flow into the
SaltOn sea, and that the few remain
ing inhabitants were fighting lit out
with the rattleSnakes and other rep
titles for the high spots, and many
other such statements
This may sound very nice to some
SIS reporter that has been out ito
see a moving picture show of the
''Wild West" before going on duty,
and will cause the smoOthly-shaven
individual on the crowded street car
to exclaim that there are things worse
than to live in the city ON $500 per
day and pay car fare but to those
who are ON the ground or know amy
thing of the character of the country
cam only say, Dam such reports" or
reporters.
There is but one break i'm the dyke
here, and the rattlesnake story dis a
myth. If the Saton sea waited for
the waiter ITO rum from the Palo Verde
valley and fill it up, lit would have
to wait until several mountain ranges
were removed. Blythe and large
part of the valley is still on top
Come again, special reporter You
did fine and We are getting lots of
free advertising, such as 1T is, but
We would very much appreciate a few
grains of truth mixed up with it, No,
we are still very much alive and
kicking.

The Mexicans gave a dance att the
Evans Hall last Tuesday evening and
from reports very pleasant even
ing was enjoyed.
There was an attempt made last
Monday morning to close the break
but it was only partly successful, and
another attempt will be made i'm a
few days and it is Thought that there
will be no doubt this time as the wa
ter is going down very fast, and will
relieve the high pressure that snap
ped the piling off last Monday MORN
ing.
Last Monday morning Jose Olago
was brought before Justice Moore
charged with breaking Unto the house
Bert Darling and stealing a suit case.
He pleaded not guilty to the charge
but the evidence was too strong
against him and the judge decided
THAT 80 days i'm the county Jail would
do him good, and serve aus a notice
to others who might break into the
homes of those forced to leave ON ac-
count of the high water, that steal
ing lis not the proper timing.

THE ROAD INJUNCTION

The county court is pursuing the
right course in reference to the con.
struetion of the Columbia river road
ana the demand made by the o.-W. R.
g. N. Co. for contract. In the first
place the court is not authorized by
any legal power to enter into con-
tract with any individual or corporation
for the purpose of establishing road.
Even though it were legal, although il
is natural that the railroad company
should seek to protect its interests in
every way possible, the court is doing
right in not entering a contract which
might prove very costly to the county
In case of wreck at the point in con
troversy, the county would be liable fo,
the damages, according to the contract
even though the road were not direct,

The SHINES Bill.
nl4n2l

The bill of the snipe is provided with
a nerve running down to the tip and
then distributing itself over the end
of the beak. This is the only instance
of this kind among birds and Is a
singular case of the care of nature In
providing for her creatures. The snipe
seeks for his prey in mud and water
where he cannot see, and it is believed
that the nerve advises him of the pres
ence of food when his eyes give him
no information.
