Intimate Relationship
With Los Angeles

and see the meat come out to feed the
city.
You can see tons of butter day
/ unloaded in Los Angeles and placed in
distribution, but out of the eight mil
lion pounds year produced here you
cannot find pound that bears the
brand of the valley, and that is the one
shameful fact in our industrial life.
If you go down to the Arcade depot
you will see trucks loaded with ex-
pressage and other trucks piled high
with baggage for the valley.
You may talk with a thousand peo
pie in Los Angeles and 999 will have
a vague idea of the Importance of this
valley to~the city and that one will
have definite conception of the fact
that the development here is in real
ity the foundation on which the late
development Of the city rests.
The Imperial Valley Press has for
several years believed that the in
timacy of this relationship would he
weakened with the completion of the
road to San Diego, and that the latter
city would in great measure take the
place of Los Angeles as resort for
the people of the valley in the summer
and as base of supply. But for the
present Los Angeles receives millions
of dollars annually from the valley,
and the city as whole has little con-
ception of the fact.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-The
Democratic tariff revision bill as it
passed the senate last night, changed
in many particulars from the form N
which it left the house over four
months ago, went back to that BODY
yesterday, and today will find its way
into a joint conference committee,
where the finishing touches will be
given to it.
The senate stole a march on the
house when, Immediately after passing
the bill, it decided to "insist on its
amendments" and ask for confer
ence. The move of the senate Leaders,
while formal in character, saved a
days time in getting the bill into the
joint conference committee.
1t was predicted that the measure
would probably be ready for the pres

Works Like Trojan
For Yuma Bridge

SAN DIEGO, Sept. l2.-Twelve
thousand dollars, the balance of Cali
fornia's $4,000 share toward the con-
struction of the $4,000 bridge over
the Colorado river at Yuma, must be
raised by next Monday, September
Is, to make use of the government
and Arizona appropriations of $685.
600 each.
Ell Centro and Calexico have mott
fed Col. Ed Fletcher that they have
raised their share of the fund. Mich
elson left for Yuma on the Owl this
morning, assured that San Diego
would do its share, and more, toward
raising the $4,000 necessary.
There now seems to be no hope Of
securing any of the money from Los
Angeles. George Michelshen, presi
dent of the Yuma Commercial club,
and L. W. Alexander, secretary of The
same organization, arrived in San
Diego yesterday from Los Angeles,
where they passed twenty days in an
unsuccessful attempt to collect $1,000
the amount which it was felt Ger
tain Los Angeles would contribute.
Nicholson had the experience of being
shunted from one organization to an
other for those twenty days without
getting any satisfaction.
The Los Angeles people led Michel
sen to believe that they were strong
for the Yuma bridge, but he incident
ally learned that Los Angeles is try
ing to get the Santa Fe railroad to
station gasoline motor at the
Needles bridge to haul automobiles
over the railroad bridge
There is no wagon bridge over the
Colorado river for 1900 miles The
Yuma bridge is hoped to be the first
but Los Angeles wants the highway
to come across at Needles and there
is no mistaking that they hope the
Yuma bridge proposition will fail. IN
that event, they hope the Santa Fe
will help them across at Needles un-
til they can scheme to get a wagon
bridge there.

More than the people of either Los
Angeles or Of Imperial valley realize,
this valley has woven itself into the
affairs of the city, until to lose the re-
lationship would be disastrous to the
metropolis of the southwest
One does not necessarily remain
long in the city to discover this fact
if he will keep his eyes and ears open.
Walking along the streets of Los
Angeles these days, at every book
store window there is on display that
story of Imperial valley, "The Winning
of Barbara Worth"
Here is the introduction, and it of
necessity follows that when all the
bookstores are specializing on this
work, the sale is extremely heavy.
If you go to any part of the city,
you will see Imperial valley people
: coming from apartment houses, where
they have been spending their vaca-
tions.
If you go to any jobbing house
you will be told that the greatest ter
ritory the city has relationship with is
Imperial valley, and you will see men
busy getting off goods for the valley.

you will see ting unloading of train

something over s2,O00,O0O, with the

RELlNG WITH CARRANZA AND
ISlIABLE TURN ON HIM.
FEAR HIS ARMY'S DESERTION
The Whole Country Is in a State OF
Tension and No Leader of Any
Faction Is Willing to
Trust Any Other.

Mexico City, Dec. 9.-Gen Nictori-
ano Huerta, dictator, and Gen. Venus
tiano Carranza, head of the rebels,
are deep in negotiations for peace, &C
cording to Northumberland reports
here. The reports of pending agree
ment between the Huerta faction and
the rebels is generally given credence
in diplomatic circles, because of in
side news that CarranZa and Gen.
Pancho Villa have quarreled violently.
Information received here is that
Villa and Carranza are so at logger
heads that Villa had threatened to
march on Carranza's headquarters
with his army instead of taking full
possession of Chihuahua.
The Carranzistas greatly fear the
desertion of Pancho Villa and his
men. That state of affairs, coupled
with the known desperateness of
Huerta's situation, is taken by the
diplo,ue 5 TO be reasonable causes for
peace parleys.
An carly crisis in affairs at the cap
ital is inevitable. Huerta is at the
end of his resources. The people are
dissatisfied Food and fuel are scarce.
Those who have watched the situa,
ton in the capital carefully believe
that the present week Will bring
things to a head.
The capital is in state of extreme
tension. Many Zapatistas were said
to have entered the city quietly with
in the last few days, and the people
are apprehensive of trouble. Zapata
rebels have been active within a doz-
en- miles of Mexico City for more than
a week. 1t was said they have been
entering the capital in parties on pas
senger trains.
Gen. Huerta has ordered the ma.
tional railways not to allow any trains
to enter Mexico City with any sus-
piciouslooking men in groups.
