TIE: MAKING OF A WHG,NlAM Diet Seems to Play important Part In Making True Gentleman of
 Old Dominion.

The subtle connection which ex- ists between diet and the special characteristics of the various branches of the human race is point ed out by pr. George w. Bagby in "The Old Virginia Gentleman" who says that a Vireinian could not be a Yirginian without bacon and greens. He also tells some of ttll other things that must go to the making of Q true Virginian.
 He must have fried chicken, stewed chicken, broiled chicken and chicken pie; old hare, butter beans, new potatoes, squirrel, cymlins, snaps, barbecued shoat, roas'n ears, buttermilk, hoe-oake, ash-cake, pam cake, fritters, potpie, tomatoes, June apples, waf1les, sweet milk, parsnips, artichokes, scrambled eggs, goober peas, fried apples, popcorn, persim- mon beer, apple bread, milk and peaches, mutton stew, dewberries, batter cakes, muskmelons, hickory nuts, partridges, honey in the honey- comb, snappin' turtle eggs, damson tarts, catfish, cider, hot light bread and cornield peas all the time; but he must not inter,nit his bacon and greens.
 He must butt heads with little negroes, get the worst of it, and run crying to tell his ma about it; wear white yarn socks with green toes and yarn gallowses make frog houses over his feet in the wet sand and find woodpeckers' nests; meddle with the negro men at hog-killing time, and be in everybody's way generally i; upset beehives, bring wasps' nests into the house, and get stung over the eye by yellow-jacket; watch setting turkeys; own bench-leg fee and speckled shoat; wade in the branch; eat too many black-heart cherries; try to tame a catbird; call doodle-bugs out of their holes, and keep on eating bacon and greens.- Youths Companion.

ROAD SURVEY.

District Attorney Fred Ingraham
and County Surveyor Brooks arrived
from Yuma Thursday for the pun
pose of Strengthening out the dispute
over the road between Parker and
Empire Flats. The road which has
been used for some time past, was
fenced recently by ranchers, and a
new road built short distance to
the east. Superintendent Watson OF
the Arizona Empire Copper Mines
company refused to use the new
road and contended that the parties
did not possess the right to fence the
cid road He made complaint to the
district attorney, and Mr. Ingraham
and Surveyor Brooks went over the
route Thursday to determine by sur
vey the exact location of the original
country road. The field notes taken
by the surveyor who surveyed the
old road were used.

WIE-DUSHANE MARRIAGE.

Alexander R. Bowie and Mrs.
Georgia Bates DuShane were married
at Los Angeles ON Wednesday, Oct
30. Both of the contracting parties
are very we'll known here, Mr.. Bowie
having resided in Parker during the
building of the Santa Fe cutoff, on

gineer The bride lived here for
nearly two years, and both have a
host of Parker friends who extend
their heartiest congratulations to the
newly weds.
After the ceremony in Los Angeles
Mr. and Mrs. Bowie departed for
Phoenix, where they were in atten-
dance at the state fair last week.
They will be at home after Nov
ember 25, at Gallup, N NJ, where

to the successful bidder for the con-
struction of the works. Senator
Ashurst and Congressman Hayden
will introduce an Identical bill in the
senate and i'm the house. This
method will save valuable time.
Senator Ashurst expressed himself
as being confident that the bill will
be passed during the short session,
or before March 4. If not by that
time, he believes that the Arizona
delegation will get it through the
Immediately after the Inauguration
of President Wilson, by May IS, and
not later than June l.
The section repeating the conces-
sion of the Greeley Arizona Irrigation
company will no doubt be passed
with the bill, as the department ap-
pears to be opposed to granting any
rights in the premises to any com
pany or Individual However, this
will not delay the Parker project, as
believed heretofore, but will give to
the Greeley company an equal chance
with others, if there are any, to bid
on the construction of the irrigation
works.
In all undertakings considerable
time is consumed in working out de-
tails. Such has been the case i'm re-
ference to the opening of the reser-
vation, but at this writing it APP
pears that practically every impor-
tant point in the matter has either
been settled or will be within a
short space of time The lands have
been surveyed, and the allOtments
will be made in the course of the
next two or three months at the
latest
When the Hayden bill shall have
been reintroduced with the changes
mentioned above, and become a law,
actual work ON the Parker project
will start very soon thereafter All
IONA has accepted the terms of the
Carey act, and the rest OF the work
will be UP to the state land board.

MORE DIkEs.

To build dikes which will effec-
tually protect Needles, Cal, from
threatened overflows of the Colorado
river, the Santa Fe railroad will
spend 100000 without delay. Engi-
nGers are now at work determining
the style of dikes best suited to hold
back the swollen waters Of the great
stream.
The work will be permanent in
character, as the Colorado rises at
certain periods each year and the
engineers intend to construct dikes
which will be ready at all times to
repel the rushes of the river. Train
loads of materials and a large force
of men will be supplied as fast as
needed.

MILLIONS FOR
PROTECTION
NEWL ANDS BILL CALLS FOR
EXPENDITURE OF FIVE HUN
DRED MILLIONS ON RIVERS
MILLIONS FOR THE COLORADO.

A bill making an appropriation of
five hundred million dollars to be
expended ON the different river sys-
TENS of the country is to be intro
gress. This is the NeWlands bill,
and within the next few days the
Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce
will take action towards securing
$50, 100000 of this for the Colorado
river according to the Los Angeles
Tribune.
George H. Maxwell, executive di-
rector of the National Reclamation
association, represented Los Angeles
at the recent irrigation congress at
Salt Lake and he has just returned
to Southern California with the news
that levee and reclamation associa-
tions all over the west and middle
west will urge the passage of the
Newlands bill
The people of the Mississippi val
ley desire an amendment definitely
setting apart $4,000 900 of this
amount for the lower Mississippi val
ley.
Mr. Maxwell believes this will be
one and suggests that California, the
entire state and all the commercial
interests of the state, both in San
Francisco and Los Angeles, should
get into action to secure $50, 900, 900
for the Sacramento and San joaquin
valleys and $4,000, 900 for the Colo
rado river
He says there lis no doubt this can
be accomplished if the interests and
territory specially benefited will take
hold in the same active way and by
the same effective methods that were
so successful when the Los Angeles
chamber of commerce and the bllsi-
ness men of that city secured the
passage of the national irrigation act
years ago, under which the federal
government already has expended
over $4,000 900 in the development
of the west

Of about 20 human lives, the des-
least 1000, 900, and the loss of
stock, crops, buildings, and other i'm

BAD ROADS
SPOIL RACE
ONLY NINE OUT OF THIRTY
FOUR AUTOMOBILES FINISHED
IN PHOENIX RACE-ONLY PRAC-
TICABLE ROAD VIA BLYTHE.

Out of thirty-four automobiles that
left Los Angeles and San Diego in
the road race to Phoenix last week
going by way of Imperial Valley and
Ogilvy only nine cars finished in the
race. The other twenty-five automo-
biles were unable to overcome the
sand and rocks and washes ON this
route and reach Phoenix on the day
of the finish
These facts stand out as the strong
est possible evidence of the imprac-
ticability of the lower route for the
National highway. The poor record
made is no discredit to the automo-
biles entered in the race. Many of
them were the best that can be built,
cars with national and international
records for speed and endurance.
They were driven by experienced
drivers and manned by expert me-
chanicians and it was not the fault
Of these that twenty-five out of the
thirty-four cars were unable to stand
the trip
1t was simply case of a road
that is impossible. road that is
little more than poor burro trail in
many places and that includes miles
of bottomless sands
Regardless of what newspapers and
chambers of commerce in Imperial
valley and Yuma may say this race
stands as unquestionable evidence of
the utter impassibihty of the high
way
If racing drivers in racing ma
chimes, specially built and stripped
of every superfluous pound of weight,
cannot make this trip, what chance is
there for the tourist with 80 or 40
b. D. machine with tonneau and
baggage and passengers.
Race drivers themselves condem
the route and many of these drivers
have repeatedly urged the Blythe and
! Ehrenberg route as the most prac-
tical.

Phoenix races which were routed by
way of the Blythe crossing nearly

who have travelled this desert
country and know what they are
