San Diego Man
Marks Progress

C. E. Nicholas came over to the
valley from San Diego yesterday and
states that he was greatly surprised
to see the San Diego and Arizona
railroad construction train almost out
to Coyota Wells. So little appears in
the press regarding the progress that
the railroad company is making that
few people realize that in only short
time the railroad will be constructed
westward to the mountains while an
other crew is building eastward even
faster and will soon be at Campo.
Mr.. Nicholas added: "Another evil
dence of railroad activity was the re-
cording of a deed this week by the
San Diego and Arizona railroad where
by the company acquired 800 acres
of land just west of Dixieland to be
used for helper station. AS the
company has controlled this land for
the past two years the recording of
their deed at this time is thought by
many to mean that work in the rail-
road yards may soon be commenced" !"

threatens to break out anew. Mr..
Donovan has challenged the hero of
the Merrimac to debate, before an
Alabama audience, the affirmative of
contention that absence of Rep
resentative From Congress Is Honest
and Justifiable."
Donovan announced his challenge
today with statement that Mr..
Hobson was in his seat seven days
of the eight months of the extra ses-
tion of congress.
The feud between the men has
been punctuated by heated debates
on the floor and threatened personal
encounters in the lobbies of the capi-
tol.

Written Consent Given
Three Water Companies
For Work Across Line

The neglect of the canals across the
line in Mexico in consequence of Re-
ceiver Holabird's rule or ruin policy
is to be brought to a very sudden
end. Depositorio Andrade has given
to water companies Nos. 6, and IL
written consent to go across the line
and do the work of cleaning bitches
which is necessary, and in this work
they will be Joined by No. l, whose
contract permits them to do such
work at any time.
Unless Receiver Holabird now con-
sents to abide by the new arrange
ment whereby Engineers Perry and
Allison are to agree on work to be
done, such work then to be done by
Depositario Andrade and to be paid
for by the receiver, these companies
will proceed Immediately to do the
work along their own iedas.
Those who are most conversant
with the situation believe, however,
that Judge Meyers, before whom the
litigation over the c. D. Company now
lies, will not permit the receiver to
longer interfere with the development
Of the valley.
The belief here is general that Re-
ceiver Holabird has failed utterly to

Americans Can Be MagnanimOus


New York Times: By his decision
to return his lately acquired Burns
manuscripts to the country where they
belong John Bribbel has not only
earned honor for himself, but he has
done not little, it is to be hoped
and almost expected, toward decreas-
ing Europe's curious and amusing but
not pleasant animosity toward Amer
lean collectors as a class. He has
shown that he, like the late Mr.. Nor
gan, realizes the existence of reasons
why treasures honesty bought and
paid for should sometimes not be kept.
Just why, however, such sensitiveness
and generosity should be expected
from Americans, or why they should
be so bitterly denounced abroad when
they do not exhibit those qualities, is
decidedly mysterious. Most European
capitals more or less proudly display
beautiful and precious things that
were simply and literally stolen from
other capitals and nobody thinks of
sending them back or of asking their
return.

meet the responsibilities of a position
which has grown most wonderfully
during his occupancy Of the receiver
ship, and that man Of greater ex-
ecutive ability is required. He found
the demand for water in the valley at
100000 acre feet a year, with revenue
of $175,0OO, but the development Of
the valley has been SO rapid, in spite
of his obstructive methods, that the
water demand has now reached mil
lion acre feet year, giving him rev.
enue of 100000 year, and he has
persisted in neglecting the water sys-
tenn and boarding up his revenue, un-
der pretense that it was the creditors
money and forgetting that his first
obligation was to- the farmers who
paid him the money for water SER
vice.
With the growth of this great wat
er service, practically all the C. d.
receiver has had to do has been to
keep his bitches clean, the increasing
flow of water making that easier
each year, but even that slight SER
vice he has neglected to perform, and
it is believed the court realizes the
Importance of the work being done
and will cooperate with the people of
the valley in seeing that it is done.

Fail to Find Graft

Washington, Dec. 19.-An investi-
eating committee appointed by Sec
retary McAdoo completed report re-
pudiating charges of wholesale graft
in the purchase of government sup
plies involving many millions of dol
lars. Byron r. Newton, assistant Sec
retary of the treasury, is chairman of
the committee, which inquired minute
ly into every phase of government
supply contracting.
1t was said at the treasury depart
ment that the investigation was or
dered as result of sweeping allega-
tions by disappointed bidders for con-
tracts who, as soon as McAdoo as
sumed office, began to besiege him
with complaints.
The committee will report several
minor errors in the awarding of con-
tracts by purchasing committee,
with the comment that the number of
mistakes has been remarkably small
considering the immense amount of
work transacted. The members of the
purchasing committee have regular
departmental positions and serve on
the committee without remuneration.
The Investigators will recommend leg
islation placing the supply committee
on permanent basis.

In his communication Mr.. McLach-
Ian advised the cotton growers to de-

The Handy Weather

Walt Mason: When you're feeling
mean as blazes, do not hand to people
near bitter, savage, caustic phrases
which may start the briny tear. We
should live in peace together, and
when in a gloomy mood wear our
grudge out on the weather, hand it
all our sayings rude. Some men, hav-
ing influenzy, being short sense of
shame, drive their loved ones to a
frenzy, limiting that they are to blame.
Countless wives and aunts and sisters,
patient meath grievous wrong, nurse
this sort of carping misters who re-
proach them all day long. How much
better when we're ailing, racked and
worn by ills or sores, to sit by the
window railing at the weather out of
doors! Oftentimes my ancient giz-
zard jumps the track and lays me
low; then l roast the blooming biz
zard / was caught in years ago. 1
ascribe my pain and sorrow to that
elemental fuss, and all sorts of words
l borrow when l sit me down to cuss.
Oh, make that blizzard wriggle, as
1 slam it high and dry! And the
women smile and giggle, saying, "He's
a funny guy!" And 1 hold my plan is
better than to snarl at folks around,
till they murmur, "Donnerwetter!
Would that he were underground"

To Mend War Flags

Washington, Dec. 19-Historic bat.
tleflags of the United States in the
museum at West Point military acad-
emy are sadly in need of repair and
the civil service commission is en-
deavoring to find an expert needle
woman to mend them. These ancient
colors are very valuable. Most of
them pertain to the Revolutionary
Mexican and Civil wars and were
carried by the troops engaged in
these conflicts.
The work of repairing these flags
will be very difficult, because in most
cases the material has become sc
brittle that it almost falls to pieces if
handled roughly.

CRY SCORED
BY HEAD OF THE NAVY

| New York, Dec. 19-"Reactionaries
who think to weaken the advocacy of
progressive measures by declaring
that they are the products of 'hys-
teria'" were roundly denounced here
be Secretary Daniels of the navy in an
address at the dinner of the North
Carolina society of New York.
"a few days ago." Mr.. Daniels said,
"a distinguished educator from a
Southern state in speech in New
York declared that such new and
progressive measures as the initiative
and referendum were revolutionary
Another distinguished authority, a
statesman and an educator, referred
to certain modern American political
doctrine as cold theories which
common sense and wise experience
demand be rejected 'as the result of
hysteria.'
"The real trouble is that this So
called fhysteria hurts. 1t keeps party
pledges; it does not take from labor
the bread it earns; it makes pro-
tection-built wealth pay the income
tax. 1t elects senators direct from
the people. They call it hysteria be-
cause it means we can have no more
senators from the New York Central
railroad, no more senators from the
Southern Express company, no more
senators from the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad, no
more senators from the Standard Oil
trust.
"They call it hysteria because it
prevents the classes from exploiting
the masses and brings the govern
ment back to the people. After all,
the real victims Of hysteria are not
the people who stand upon house
tops and cry for reform, but the peo-
pie who are guarding special privilege
and are seeing the castles built by
privilege tumble down about their
heads.
"No, gentlemen" continued the
secretary, "the victims of hysteria are
not the forward-Iooking, promise
keeping reformers, who quietly con-
vince the people that this new way,
this gospel of progressive statesman.
ship is best for the country, but your
hysterical man is that incarnate self
appointed claimant of patriotism who
madly waves the Stars and Stripes
with one hand and grips his rebate
provided, protection-fostered wealth
with the other and bewails an alleged
tendency to put an end to class leg
isolation; who wildly proclaims that we
are turning away from those funda-
mental principles through which we
have come to our present high es-
tate"

Against Public Ownership
(By United Press Associations

(By United Press AssociatiOns)
Washington, Dec. 19 - Senator
Bourne of Washington voiced a bitter
criticism of the proposed government
ownership of telephones and tele-
graphs today. He said This talk of
government ownership is all rot, dry
rot. 1t would result in bureaucratic
paternalism and governmental dissolu-
tion within a century. Under the pro-
posed plan of government it would
employ more than three million per-
sons, sufficient number to control
the government under the political
machinery"
