when the Colorado river broke It's
banks and flooded part Of Imperial val
ley, creating Salton sea. At that time
the Southern Pacific went to the rescue
of the development company and spent
several million dollars in building en-
bankments and levees. In 1903 the
railroad company obtained judgment
of $1,5O1, ,9O363 against the development
company for doing this work.
About the same time the railroad
brought suit in Mexicali. Lower Cali
fornia, against the Mexican canal COM
pany for flood damages to its tracks
in the region of Salton sea. The Mex
lean company was officered by Col.
Epes Randolph and w. J. Doran. both
prominently connected with the South
ern Pacific. When the case came TO
trial in Mexicali the officers of the
Mexican company confessed, liability
judgment was rendered against the
company for something like $95O,O00,
and the Mexican court appointed An
drade as receiver.
In December of the same year a
number of bond holders of the Cali
fornia Development Company, who had
not received their interest payments,
brought suit through the Title Insur-
ance and Trust Company as trustee
against the company to foreclose the
mortgage bonds. The Southern Pa
cific held a majority of these bonds.
Judge Bordwell, who heard the case,
appointed Colonel Holabird receiver.
Many hearings were held in this mat
ter and decision is expected within
a short time from Judge Bordwell.
international Affair
International complications are not
impossible before the battle for pos
session of the gates is finished. The
structures lie entirely within Mexican
territory, but are absolutely essential
to the irrigation of American territory
and are in Mexican territory only be-
cause topographic conditions make it
necessary for the canals which tap the
Colorado river near Yuma to run over
the border before they can be swung
back into Imperial valley.
Colonel Holabird was forced several
years ago to appeal to Secretary Of
State Knox to prevent seizure of the
canals and stoppage of the water by
Mexican officials.
The canals are slightly more than
165 miles in length and serve approxi-
mately $4,000 ranchers and farmers in
the Imperial valley and Lower Cali
fornia. AS the outcome may mean
the saving or loss Of hundreds of
thousands to these water consumers
the. results will be watched with
great deal of interest

mans Improvement Club Of Calexico
will be called at the reading room
next Thursday afternoon. All mem
bers and those interested in the work
of the club are invited to be present.
This will be the opening meeting for
the fall and winter work. The club
has outlined for the coming season a
very interesting series of topics for
study and discussion and doubtless will
prove the same beneficial stimulus as
before, both for the members and for
the town in general. The members of
this club are very enthusiastic and
enterprising in their work and have
accomplished great deal in the past,
which makes it reasonable to expect
great accomplishments for the future.

NEARLY 1O,OOO.OOO NEGROES

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-A prelim-
mary statement showing by states the
negro population in the United States
full blooded negroes has been issued
by the director of the census.
The total negro population is placed
at 9,827,763. OF this number 2,056,6O6
are set down as mulattoes. The ne
gro population in 1870 was 4,880,000,
with 5S4,049 mulattoes. The percent
cent of the whole while in the census
of 1910 it is set down as practically
81 per cent.
The greater increase has been in
the northern states. This, it is point
ed out, is not necessarily because of
intermarriage between whites and ne
groes, but due to the natural increase
that would come of the marriage OF
full blooded negroes to mulatt es,
whose children are mulattoes.

SAVING THE DEER

There is some commendable agita-
tion concerning the prospective ex-
tinction of native deer
Humane people seem to hold the no.
ton that in being alive the deer is
not guilty of capital offense, and they
cannot figure out wherein the creature
does any harm. Nor do they see what
can be the pleasure in killing such an
innocent thing.
Even the hunter admits that the
pleasure, such as it is, frequently is
marred by the glance from the eyes
of a dying victim.
The way to prevent the extinction
of the deer is by making their slaugh-
ers needed the flesh for food, or the
skin for clothing, or their sinews to
string their bows, and were savage in
stead of civilized, their tendency could
be more easily conceived-Los Ang-
eles Tribune.

Heaviest Creditor

The Southern Pacific is the heavi-
est creditor Of the California Develop
ment Company, which went into bank
ruptcy three years ago. Colonel Hola-
bird declares that this move is only
one of a series planned by the rail-
road to freeze out the next largest
creditor, the New Liverpool Salt Com
pany which holds a judgment against
the development company amounting z
to S456, 746.23 for the loss of it's salt
plant when it was submerged by Salton

 Reading and Union Pacific have been specially picked out for attack during the last week or two. Next to Steel. Reading is the greatest speculative fa- yorite on the exchange and action in 1t is exceedingly acute. It is the ideal stock for spectators to trade in. The element of uncertainty in Reading speculation is one of it's most attractive features with the gamblers and reckless pinngers. It Is q constant invitation for the short selling contingent regardless of the fact that every time the market has a big bulge the bears are sure to be caught and bad ly trimmed. For per cent stock, Read

Science Understands
 The Stomach
Treating Indigestion with Stuarts Dys- pepsia Tablets Is an Exact science.
 They Give Quick Relief.

Medical men have learned more about the stomach than perhaps any other vital organ. They have dis covered why the stomach rebels at certain conditions--what causes the formation of gases-what causes fiatu- 1ency, heartburn, dyspepsia, burning sensation, brash, and all the other dis- oiders of the stomach
 They have gone further. They have found remedies for all these afflictions, these results of improper digestion. They have learned that pepsin. hydro chloric acid and fruit salts are pow ereul digestants that relieve quickly and surely all the troubles to which the stomach Is subject. They have dis covered that one grain of these prop critics will digest 5000 grains of food.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not n medicine. They are a scientific com pound that supplies the stomach with the digestive agents which it is itself unable to provide. When your stom- ach is sick and not working right when it fails to give out enough of the digestive juices to properly take care of the food you eat, these tablets will make up the deficiency. You will have no indigestion. Your food will digest thoroughly.
 You never can tell just when your stomach is going back on you. It gives no warning. If you eat a big meal, if you eat hurriedly, take one of these little tablets. You will avoid a lot of pain and misery.
 Some of the most prominent men carry these tablets in their vest pocx- cts when they attend banquets, etc., and never fail to take them.
 stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by all druggists at soc box.

SLIGHT FROST FALLS
 IN LAWRENCE COUNTY
Cotton Crop Improves Somewhat-The Army Worm Does No Great Dam-
 age-NO Boil Weevil

Courtland, October 5-(Special.)-The condition of the cotton crop has inn proved some during tho past two weeks A slight frost fell last Tuesday night but not enough to do any damage. There has been no rain for more than two weeks and picking has been general throughout the entire county. The army worm which appeared about two weeks since did no material damage, working only in the basins, where 1t was quickly poisoned. There has been no boil weevil or other insects to give trouble. Cotton is moving quite freely, the most of it going on contracts made some time since, at.from 11ss cents to IFS cents per pound. It is impossible to give the gin output in the entire county. though about 600 bales have been ginned at this point. Town Creek and Hillsboro.
 The corn crop was practically a failure and the farmers, many of them, will have to commence buying corn before the first of the coming year.
 The hay crop was the largest for years but practically no fodder was pulled Many tons of hay have been harvested and stored for winter use. A good deal of blowing Is being done and quite a large acreage planted in winter oats and cover crops.

Every Woman Can Be Beautiful

From the WOfnhn Wofiu.
 People are not born ugly. To be sure, . little newborn baby is not usually a thing of beauty, but after those prelim- mary stages are past, how many ugly little children have you known? A healthy, happy. clean baby can't help being beautiful.
 Health, happiness, cleanlinessl There, the secret is out That's the grand beauty formula. No, ma'am, you can't make a pug into a Grecian nose, and you can't change the color of your eyes, and you can't make a short, plump figure into a tall, slim one.
 But you can, if you want to. have fresh, clean complexion; you can have bright, clear eyes; you can have a pleas ant mouth with white. even teeth; you can have glossy, smooth, well-kept hair; you can have a full chest and a straight back and firm, healthy flesh. And if a woman has all these things. I'll defy even a hair lip to make her ugly.
