A HARD LUCK TRIP.

H.. 3. Buckingham and J. B. Flana-
gan left Saturday morning for Blythe
via the Parker valley in the former s
Brush car After losing the road
and spending Saturday night in the
jungles about twenty-five miles be-
low Parker, more trouble was encoun-
tered when the travellers attempted
to resume their journey early Sun
day morning.
When Buck" threw the machine
into high gear, after running about
fifty feet, the driving shaft was brok-
en- off short where it connects with
a "dufunny" that works the trans
mission. Now a mere broken driv-
ing shaft doesn't phase ''Buck" pro-
vided he has plenty of time to get
to his destination, for he is sure
to rig up something to get in on. A
fire was built by the roadside, and
within four hours ''Buck" did as fine
a job of blacksmithing on that shaft
as could be turned out in city ma
chine shop. The journey was re-
sumed about o'vclock, and every
thing went lovely until within four
miles of Ehrenberg, when the gas
gave out, necessitating walking in
and sending out gasoline by wagon.
Anyway, the travellers got into
Blythe after dark Sunday night.
Eliminating the hard luck encount-
cred on the trip by losing the road
and wandering through the jungles,
and across washes and sloughs, and
the breaking of the shaft, the little
car would have gone through in good
time and with less road trouble than
a larger car.

nounced the establishment of a reg

tween Blythe and the Santa Fe rail
road at Blythe Junction. Daily round
trips are being made now and three
autos are to be added to the equip

The Blythe junction auto leaves
Blythe at o'clock in the afternoon
and the incoming machine leaves
the Junction at Z a. m. The Blythe
Junction road is in unusually good
condition now due to the recent rains
and the stage autos have been max

The firm expects to utalize the new

ANDY GIRODON KILLED.

Constable Andy Girodon, who left
Parker for San Diego a few weeks
ago with his family, fell off a street
car in that city Tuesday OF
ladt week and sustained a
fracture of the skull, dying from the
injury on the following Thursday
Nov 20.
The news of Girodon's sudden
death was received here with great
surprise, and sorrow by his many
friends. He had lived in Parker fol
the past four years, and filled the
office of constable for the past few
months He was about 38 years ot
age, and leaves a wife and two young
children to mourn his loss.
Girodon removed to San Diego or
account of the health of his wife
who is in a delicate condition. They
expected to return to Parker in few
months Mrs. Girodon has the sym

SAD NEWS FOR MRS. IRLE.

Mrs. Jean Irle, the Chicago author
ess who has been spending the past
few weeks in Parker and vicinity,
received the sad news of the death
of her husband last Monday. When
the death message arrived Mrs. Irle
was camping about twenty miles
above town along the Colorado riv-
er, and John Roberts went out to find
her She got to town Tuesday night,
and departed for Chicago Wednes-
day night.
Andrew Irle was an official of the
Wells-Fargo Express company,at Chi
cago, and was about 40 years old. Ac-
cording to the kilograms received
here by his wife he was taken down
with pneumonia and died suddenly.
For the past couple of weeks Mrs.
Irle has been camping along the rlv-
er, above Parker, gathering material
and working on a book which she
is writing. For a number of years
Mrs. Irle has contributed short stor-
les and poems to some of the well
known publications of the country,
but this is her first attempt at a
book. The scene of the Forthcoming
work is to be laid around this part
of the country.
Curing her stay here Mrs. Irle
made many friends, who sincerely
sympathize with her in her bereave-
ment and loss.

BLYTHE, Calf, December 8. -
Cashier w. A. BowIes of the PaIo
Verde Valley Bank was shot and kill
ed Tuesday afternoon at o'clock by
two hoIdups, who escaped on horses
with about $1,000 in gold and cur
rency. 49,
The robbers entered the bank at
the closing hour, ,about o'cIock,Ieav-
ing their horses standing near the
rear of the building, not far from the
side door.
No one was in the bank at the
time and unless the robbers them
selves tell the story the full particu-
lars of the hoIdup will never
be known.
Persons standing outside the build
ing at the time heard a wranging,
and soon after shot was fired, and
Immediately thereafter one of the
robbers came through the rear door.
Cashier BowIes was seen graphing
with the man, and was evidently
trying to hold him until help should
arrive.
The robber whom the cashier was
endeavoring to hold turned and fir
ed, shooting BowIes in the neck.
The accompIice quickly followed,
jumping over the body; the two men
eaIIoped away on their horses.
BowIes died within an hour.
Within a few minutes after the
robbery a posse was organized and
took the trail of the hoIdups, which
led south, along the river. Before
dark Tuesday night the men were
traiIed several miles in the brush
along the river.
Early Wednesday morning the trail
was taken up by the posse. Deputy
Sheriff Martin Shehan has a party

river to prevent a crossing.

When Imperial valley was threat
ened with shortage of water by reces-
sion of the river bed at the canal in
take, Clarke again applied firing
line methods, installed a rock weir
dam in 21 days at cost of $22, 500,
checked recession and directed the
channel to the intake and saved a
six million dollar crop of Imperial
valley. The Wier was supposed to
be temporary, but it has survived two
seasons of flood, one freshet of $780,
900 second feet being the greatest on
record for the Colorado, and it is
still there. The same sort of install
lation would have given water to
the farmers of Yuma valley during
the six years of waiting for the COM
pletion of Laguna dam, siphon under
the river and construction of fancy
concrete works, and they have ask
ed with some asperity why so simple
remedy for their trouble was not
applied The answer is that the en-
gineers of their project were not edu-
Gated on the firing line.
Clarke was born in Lewis county,
Washington Territory, on December
5, 1859. His father, Fred A. Clarke,
1849 as a pioneer, and was the first
Attorney General of the Territory. His
mother was a pioneer of sturdy New
England stock, a Rhode Island Still
man In temperament Clarke is a blend
of Northern and Southern character
istics, which makes a pretty strong
combination. In environment, he is
a Westerner through and through, a
man of the big -of-doors-mountai-
neeer, plainsman and desertman-at
home anywhere in the open, an open
minded, open-eyed student in Dame
Natures school,
Clarke's boyhood was passed on
the shores of Puget Sound; he was
raised in Pierce county, Washing
ton. He went through the graded
& 'hools, and then, instead of going
to college, he got a job with Virgil
G. Bogue in the engineering depart
ment of the Northern Pacific For
ten years he studied engineering in
the field, locating and building rail
roads in WaShin ptOn Oregon and
Idaho.
When the Oregon Pacific and the
Union Pacific were racing for a
right of way through the Malhuer riv
er canyon, Clarke was sent as super
intending engineer for the Oregon Pa
cific with 100 men and carte blanche

possible OcatiOn line. There is a
story in TIT struggle. for a right of
way, but it is not possible to tell it
in this sketch. Enough that Clarke
won.
Clarke mined for a few years in
Idaho and A1izora, and then return
ed to railroad work with the Southern
Pacific in 1896. He was appointed en-
gineer of the Tucson division, which
covers the line between Yuma and Ell
Paso, and for ev=ral years he was
busy traightening the line, reducing
grades and fighting the sudden floods
that follow cloud-bursts on the desert
Ihc floods had a TASTY trick of pill
ing UP faster than culverts could
ern Pacific's tracks to new. remote
and undesirable locations between
trains. Clarke's idea was that all
cloud-burst flood needed was plenty
of room to pass under a track, and
he planned fun-Off ways on a scale
that made the railroad managers gasp
for breath. But he convinced them,
and got the &C. NJ O's" to spend
money in large wads, and he solved
the washout problem on the Tucson
division. He used his eyes and his
brains, and he did not assume that a
desert is necessarily always dry.
After the closure of the Colorado
river crevasse in 1907, Clarke
took charge of the main water sup
ply system of the Imperial valley as
chief engineer of the California De-
velopment company, then in the
hands of a receiver, and began the
work of replacing the makeshift struC
lures with substantial works, ,increas-
ing the efficiency of the canals and
putting the system into such shape
as to make it possible to reduce oper-
ating expenses and transform bank
rupt losing concern into profit-mak
ing business. '.-..
Then the Southern Pacific sent for
Clarke again and entrusted to him
| the task of making something like
real railroad out of it's poorly con-
structed and dangerous coast division
He put in two years rebuilding the
line and making it safe. for traffic
Having accomplished that work, he
responded to the demand of the irri-
gators of 100000 acres of Imperial
valley land that he return to them

REMOVABLE BODIES
LATEST FEATURE OF
LOCOMOBILE TRUCK

Not since motor trucks began to dis
place the horse has so far-reaching an
improvement been applied to the science
of motor delivery. In making time
studies Of both horse drawn and motor
driven trucks in operation. engineers
have been constantly impressed with
the enormous losses directly chargeable
to time consumed in loading and un-
loading. In the case of the horse drawn
vehicle, this was a necessary loss re-
quired by the horse for periods of rest
and recuperation. With the motor
driven vehicle the loss has been multi
Piled in proportion to the increased
amount Of the investment.
A motor truck needs no rest period
during the day. 1t may even success
fully perform its duties without any in
terval of rest by operating under two
or more shifts of delivery crews. Every
moment its wheels are not turning, how
ever, represents a loss of efficiency
cost per ton mile.
To meet this condition the Locomo-
bile Company has developed an entirely
original lOIlll VI lLuChs WHICH, WAll Su-
persede the truck equipment of eff
cient shippers, reduce the number Of
trucks in action and cut down the cost
per ton mile The truck is patented
and controlled exclusively by the Loco
mobile Company.
The problem faced by Locomobile
engineers was to cut the loading and
unloading period so far as its waste Of
truck time was concerned, and this has
been accomplished by separating the
body Of the truck from the chassis and
providing two or more bodies for a
given chassis. A body may be in pro-
cess of loading or unloading entirely
independent of the movements of the
chassis it is designed to fit. The chas-
sis will pick up a loaded body in
fraction OF a minute and be on its route
of delivery practically without any
waste of time.
Returning to the dispatching point
1t exchanges the empty body for load
ed one, proceeding on it's route again
with very brief delay. usually less than
three minutes.
