ALMOST SO PER CENT IS GAIN
IN THE SCHOOL ATTENDANCE

1t is doubtful if any town in the
history of California ever before made
the wonderful record of percentage of
gain in school attendance which Ell
Centre has made this year.
Last year at this time the enroll
ment in the high school amounted TO
sc. This year the enrolment has
reached 90.
Last year at this time the enroll
ment in the grammar school amount
ed to 215. This year the enrolment
has reached $40.
Taking the high school and the
grammar school together, there is a
gain of more than AZ per cent. o.
there are almost half as many more
children in school this year than last
year
This is but one of the many indi-
cations of the tremendous gain in
population of Ell Centre, and when the
fact is realized that a very large per-
eentage of the population of the town
is made up of young people-newly
married or single-it is evident that
the town is getting well on toward the
5000 point, which we are sure to reach
by the beginning of next year.
The growth brings its responsibili-
ties. and school people assert that it
will be absolutely necessary for the
town to provide additional school fa-
cilities by next year. While the high
school is badly crowded in its pres
ent quarters and the grammar school
is forced to give half day instruction.

FAVORS INTERVENTION

LONDON, Sept. 24.-No annoyance
is exhibited anywhere in Europe, not
even in Spain, over the latest ad-
rectly by the Washington government
to Mexico, Nicaragua and Cuba. On
the contrary, the prevailing sentiment
is one of approval.
European capitalists with invest :
ments in any of the republics south
of the Rio Grande long have chafed
at the confusion created by local poll
ticians for selfish ends and would well
come the application of a strong hand.
A London financial paper is "as-
founded at the forbearance Of the
Americans in their dealings with the
Mexicans-a forbearance as great as,
if not greater, than the forbearance
shown by Mckinley in handling the
Cuban issue that confronted his ad-
ministration."
British and German opinion and an
important segment of French would
be entirely complaisant were the sit
uation in all three Latin states to be-
come bad enough to compel American
intervention, "in some form more eff
cient than moral suasion and diplo-
matte threats"
The suggestion that Uncle Sam may
guarantee an honest ballot and an
honest count at the forthcoming Gu
ban elections is approved in Berlin,
where the idea of a "black republic
of Cuba" has been condemned on all
grounds.

DAVE WILLIAMS SINGS PRAISE
Of HOLTv|LLE-YUMA ROAD

d. H.. williams of HoltviIls was in
town today, and told something Of the
work being done by Holtvilis in the
construction of the road through the
sandhills to Yuma and of the plans for
the future Of what it is hoped to make
the National highway from the east
He says that there are now at work
on the road seventeen four horse
teams, with a large force Of Mexicans
cutting brush. 1t is proposed to
corduroy the road and cover it with
clay, putting up a fence along the
road to stop the drift Of sand. He
has consulted with engineers Of wide
desert experience, who tell him the
plan being followed is entirely fsas.
ible.
The question of route for the road
has been laid before the people Of
Brawley, and many Of them profress
entire willingness to join with the peo-
pie of other parts of the valley and
work for this route for the National
highway.
Mr.. Williams says that from Braw
ley to Yuma this road is 1877 miles
shorter than the route by way of
Mammoth, and it will not cost more
than a quarter as much to build or a
quarter as much to maintain, while if
the Mammoth wash route is followed
this county will never have use for
the road.
He calls attention to the fact that
at the eastern end of the county the
Yuma Indian reservation has been
sold to white families, who are in this
county, and naturally will be required
from time to time to come to the
county seat.
From Ell Centre to Yuma by this
Holtville route will be but 49 miles,
there being but about 80 miles of
