WORK ON YUMA BRIDGE
TO BE STARTED SOON

Yuma, Oct. 17.-Sixty days from
today work will be commenced on the
Yuma bridge across the Colorado
river. This positive information was
given out today by F. E. Elliott,
chairman of the board of supervisors
of Yuma county.
Business men of Los Angeles who
swung into line and raised enough
money to make California's appro-
priation of $4,000 possible, ahve won
the united support of Yuma and the
surrounding towns. The fact that
Los Angeles is with them in the fight
for good roads means much to the
workers of Arizona, who have given
their time and money to make an
ocean-to- ocean highway possible.
The Automobile Club of Southern
California has made host Of friends
here by the campaign organized by
the club, which resulted in the money
being raised to make the $4,000 for
the cost of the bridge possible.
Now, with a bond issue of $780,

ma county from this city to the line
at Maricopa county, signed and

RAILROAD COMMISSIONS
POWER is SUPREM +,

Riverside, Oct. ia concrete ex-
ample Of the extent of the zone of au
thority of the state railroad commits
sion came to the official notice of the
city council this morning, when
Mayor Peters presented a letter from
that body with reference to the con-
struction of a crossing by the city
over the Salt Lake railroad at its in
tersection with the Magnolia avenue
extension.
The city becomes involved in the
prospect of having to assist in the
construction of a subway or under
grade crossing at this point to cost N
the neighborhood of $65,000. The
matter was brought to an issue by the
application of the Pacific Electric for
permission to cross the Salt Lake at
grade at this intersection.
The mayor was authorized to take
the matter up with the commission and
to set forth certain facts regarding
the already heavy expenditures made
by the city within the past year the in
stallatiOn of subways, the council hay
ing only yesterday authorized street
department to begin work on struc-
ture Of this character under the Cres-
cent City railroad, which will cost the
city between $1,000 and $4,000.
1t is not improbable that the city
would favor cooperating with the
two railroads involved by sharing a
fourth of the expense, in case this did
not exceed $4,000 for the entire cost

Parent-Teacher Association
Gives Reception to Teachers
ToWork Toward Cooperation

Friendly and energetic cooperation
between parents and teachers for the
coming school year was inaugurated
yesterday evening at the well attended
reception given the teachers of Ell
Centro by the Ell Centre Parent
Teachers Association.
The auditorium of the Christian
Church, which had been beautifully
and generously decorated for the oc-
casion, was we'll filled with the par
ents of the Ell Centro pupils who had
taken this occasion to establish friend
ship with the teachers of the schools
who have SO much to do with the NOR
al as we'll as mental training of the
coming generation.
Mrs. Anderson, recently elected
president of the Parent Teachers AS

series of informal addresses, stated
the objects of the association which
work toward mutual efforts by the
parents and teachers in the training
of the young folk.

Japan Will Ask
Treaty Abrogation

Washington, Oct. 17-Argumenta-
tive discussion of the California alien
land law controversy practically has
been abandoned by the agents of Jap
an and the United States. The UNDER
standing according to intimations in
official quarters today is that both
governments have concluded that it is
useless for them to argue the matter
further on the basis of Interpretation
of the provisions of the American
Japanese treaty of 1911, on which the
japanese based their protest against
the California act, aimed to prevent
japanese from owning farm lands in
that state
The legal phases of the controversy
have been discussed exhaustiveiy in
the exchange of notes in the last
five months. The arguments Of each
side have been met with rebuttals
from the other side, with the net re-
suit that the matter stands exactly
where it did at the outset.
The discussion, it is understood,
henceforth will center on the Japan
ese proposal Of a new treaty in which
their subjects resident in the United
States shall be guaranteed the right
of owning land in this country.
The direct issue raised by Japan in
her request for settlement by means
of a new treaty has thus far been
avoided by this government. The ne
gotiation of such treaty would, in
effect, invalidate the California law
and California and other senator's
never would consent to this. On the
other hand, direct refusal would be
most irritating to Japan and embar-
RAISING to this government. Japan is
now awaiting reply to the note last
delivered by Ambassador Chinda.
The completion of the Panama ca
nal, while an argument not officially
mentioned for publication, is a great
underlying factor in view of what It
means to the Improvement of the
naval situation of the United States
in the Pacific Ocean. Another de-
velopment, which Washington is
watching with interest, is the anti
japanese movement in British CO.
lumbia. The provincial government
has gone so far as to take the matter
up with the imperial British govern
ment and has served notice that the
citizens of British Columbia do not
intend to permit encroachment by
: the aJpanese. In view of Great
Brltain's Influence with Japan, owing
to their treaty of alliance, it is be-
lieved the situation in western Can
ada may have much effect on the
| United States and Japan.

the desire on the part of the parents
for mutual cooperation.
Principal Coe of the Ell Centre
grammar schools gave a statistical
commentary on the faculties of the
grammar schools, illustrating the
necessity of cooperation by the fact
that the teachers of the schools are
gathered in Ell Centro from eighteen
states and are graduates of a still
greater number of colleges.
The addresses were interspersed
with music by Julia Foncanon, pupil
in the grammar schools, Miss Velma
Kirkpatrick, assistant at the public
library, Miss Colby and Mr.. Murray
Slower.
Secretary Jasper l.. Travers of the
Ell Centro school board announced
that the board has plans for one
story eight-room grammar school
building to be built next year at a
cost Of $4,000, which will add greatly
to the city's school facilities.
Ex-principal Ragan of Central Un-
ion High School, who had charge of
that institution in 1908 and 1909,
gave the growth he had perceived
upon his return to Ell Centre a few

fairs in the Imperial valley, in what

previously constructed, has been re-
Gently finished, bringing under cult
vation $4,000 acres of new land.
AS to business conditions generally
in the valley, Mr.. Holabird says they
are as good as could be wished.
Crops are good, produce is bringing
good prices, the valley is growing in
population, improvements of all kinds
are being made on all sides, every
man can find work to do and business
of all kinds is growing bigger and
better every day.
Two train loads, 500 people, are
coming into the valley every day and
not more than half that number 90

ployment or go to farming or into
other business.

hibited, upon the quality of the pro-
ducts, and upon the arrangement of
the exhibit. Anyone wishing to make
farm exhibit, please notify Walter
E. Packard, Ell Centro, in regard to
space needed.
Besides the general exhibits of
fruits, vegetables and field crops, ii
is planned to have an exhibit of maps
from the California Development
Company covering the country below
the line giving the location of the
various protective levels, canals, etc
The Irrigation District will show
maps giving the route of the High
Line canal and other data connected
with the proposed All American route
These maps will occupy prominent
place, and will be well worth very
cereful study Along with these maps
there will be large relief map Of
the valley made from the soils of the
sections filled in in the proper pieces
er places.
Cash prizes exceeding those given
last year will be offered. Over $500
was given away in cash prizes last
year, and everyone winning a prize
received the money promptly
The Agricultural Exhibit will be
under the direction and supervision
of Walter f. Packard, manager of
the Experiment Farm. He has Sc
cured James Brock of Heber Date
Farm to take general charge of the
date exhibit. Clark w. Adair to take
charge of the citrus fruit exhibit, F.

cidious fruit exhibit, Ed. NJ. Guey-
dan, manager Imperial Valley Cot
ton Growers Exchange, to take
charge of the cotton exhibit, and
Emmont Cook to take charge of the
exhibit of field crops. These men
will constitute the committee on ag-
ricultural exhibits. Outside judges
are being arranged for so that there
may be no question as to the fair
ness and accuracy of the Judging. The
names of the judges will be announc-
ed later.

The Agricultural Department of
the Imperial County Fair will be
much bigger than in any previous
year. A large tent will be secured
to be used entirely for the exhibit OF OF!
farm products. More space, will
therefore, be given to each of the di-
visions and there will be a number of
special features that will be interest
ing and instructive. 1t is the pur-
pose of the committee to have all of
the exhibits educational, and not
simply a display of products.
The Cotton Growers Exchange will
take charge of the cotton exhibits
which should be of special interest.
Representative plants of various va
rieties will be shown, together with
plants showing effects of various soil
and water conditions. Exhibits Of
various varieties of cotton showing
the length of staple, quantity of lint,
ETC., will be shown.
A small house constructed Of bales
of alfalfa will be built in the center
of the tent, and the display of field
crops will be arranged about this al
1a1Id mousse anu IiiI W VI loiIy NdiiS
ties of valley grain will be shown
with names of variety attached.
A special display of dates should
be the most interesting exhibit on the
grounds and will be especially instruc-
tive, as a large variety of dates from
seeding palms will show the varia-
ton which can be expected in Seeding
date gardens. These seedlings can be
compared to the choice dates of the
best varieties grown in this region,
The citrus fruit exhibit will occupy
a prominent place in the tent, and all
varieties of citrus fruit grown in the
valley will be represented.
The deciduous fruit exhibit will un-
doubtedly be large one, and there
will be enough room so that the diff
ferent varieties and kinds of fruits
can be separated, and an artificial
display made.
In addition to the exhibit Of farm
crops prizes will be given for the
best individual farm display. These
exhibits will include all kinds Of farm

25 Cars Enter in
Automobile Race

Los Angeles, Oct. 17.--With nine
more cars than ever before entered
for the desert contest, the entry list
for the Los Angeles-San Diego-Phoe-
nix road race closed at noon yester-
day in the Western Automobile Asso-
citation headquarters, lat West Pico
street. Twenty-Five cars are nomin-
ated for the toughest race ever de-
vised for automobiles and it is pos
sible that this number may be still
further increased by post entries.
The list this year includes a higher
class of cars than ever before named
for the race. The L'avenir is French
entry and it is understood that a pair
of French drivers who have an inter-
national reputation will be at the
wheel.
j. C. Rice, the San Diego automo-
bilist who entered a Simplex as the
second car, answered to the final call
for entries with another Simplex. The
San Diego sportsman is considered to
be one of the very strongest factors
in the race. He himself will be at
the wheel a part of the way.
San Diego, including Coronado,
gave nine cars to the record list. Phoe-
nix named only one, but it is under
stood that some cars from the Ari-
zona capital will contest in the road
race from Ell Paso, which will be run
simultaneously with the race from
Los Angeles.
Chairman L. T. Shelter yesterday
announced that the race would start
promptly at o'clock on the morning
of November 8 from the junction Of
Stephenson avenue and the Whittier
boulevard at the city limits. The cars
will be sent away at two-minute in
tervals.
Another checking point was added
yesterday following the receipt of a
communication from San Diego that
Descanso had offered a purse for the
routing of the race that way. There
will be flying checking station there
and this will cut out the Potrero
grade.
By common consent "13" was left
out of the numbers in the entry list
At the w. A. A. headquarters yes
terday it was announced that Harold
Ostrom had resigned the secretary
ship to ioin the sales force of the Don
Lee Cadillac agency.
Most of the drivers who have been
selected are now out on the road. 1t
was said yesterday that Harold Ham
would have the wheel of Cadillac No.
8. Ham was with Frank Verback n
the winning car in the July A road
race to Sacramento. 1t is expected
that Verbeck will drive the July
winner in the Phoenix race.
Barney Oldfeld is preparing to
make another trip over the course. He
will drive George B. Settles AGO.
Simplex, probably the highest pow
cred car in the race.
The official entries as announced oy
Chairman Shelter are:
1. Cadillac, Don Lee, Los Angeles.
2. Simplex, J. c. Rice, San Diego
3. Cadillac, Don Lee, Los Angeles.

No Hope is Left
Under Huerta
(By United Press Association

united Press ASSOClatlOnD
Washington, Oct. 17-Hope of early
solution of the tangle in Mexico was
abandoned today by government Of
ficials. The president, it is reported,
is determined to no longer deal with
the Huerta regime. 1t is said further
steps toward bringing peace in Mex
leo are being considered. A rift in
the clouds came when it was reported
General Carranza, rebel leader, was
negotiating with Huerta to secure
peace by naming Pedro Dascurian
provisional president, the restoration
of congress and an early election.
Mexico City, Oct. 17-Unrest pre-
vailed today as a result of the con-
tinued resignation of Huerta officials.
Huerta said nothing regarding the re-
port that he intended to resign and
turn affairs over to Descurian.
New Cork, Oct. 17.-Mexican ex-
change on New York advanced from
26O to 276 as the result of news from
Washington that the administration
would not consider as constitutional
the election called by President Heur-
ta for October 26. This meant that
a New York draft for 500 United
States currency would cost a banker
or merchant in Mexico S276 in Mex
lean money.
The former quotation of 260 had
been in force for several weeks. 1t
was learned also that the National
Railways of Mexico had been notified
from headquarters in Mexico City
that the rate would be raised to 2S6
tomorrow and would be in force un-
til further notice.
Business in the Mexican exchange
market has been on a minimum scale
for long time. At one house which
has many correspondents in Mexico
cities in normal times, it was said
that transactions were now so few
and far between that the course of ex-
change rates was no longer being fol-
lowed. Outside of Mexico City the
revolution has affected general busi-
ness so severely that no effort was
being made to keep in touch with the
lesser cities.
The upturn of exchange quotations
Imperial Valley press., 1913-10-17

will be shorter between this city and
Phoenix is now of peculiar signif-
cance. 1t is said that fifty miles car
be chopped from the Castle Dome
road, now used by the cars in the
Los Angeles Phoenix race.
William R. Reuss in big six-cyl-
inder Pope-Hartford is here ready tc
cover this route. He has driven
through the Mammoth Wash, where
the going is fierce, and is prepared
for the worst, though we are told that
we need not expect particularly bad
roads between Dome and Mohawk
the route that has been offered the
Pope-Hartford man. Reuss is accom-
panied by Bill Tremaine in a four
cylinder Pope roadster, which he ex.
poets to enter in the Phoenix race
this year, the cars being in fine shape
in spite of the fierce work already
done through the heavy drift sand
near Glamis.
Ruess and his party were met II
Phoenix by Max Czuczka, L. w. Alex
ander, DR.. J. A. Ketcherside and John
Gandolfo, all prominent business mer
who claim they can arouse enough in
terest in the ocean-to-ocean highway
movement to complete the work oy
1915.
Fifty miles can be cut from the
road between this city and Los An
geles,according to Czuczka if the
proposition that has been advanced
by several Imperial valley men is
followed. 1t is claimed that a road
can be built direct to Holtville, which
will eliminate the Mammoth Wash, q
high bridge over the sand hills which
would cost $4,000 being proposed
This would make the running time I
Los Angeles four hours less than it
is at present.
This year the cars are to be routed
through district far more populous
and much more interesting because
of the great development of the past
year; they will cover a large part
of the ocean-to-ocean highway route
and already plans have been made
whereby the Automobile Club of
Southern California will sign those
sections in this new state and it Is
expected that many new members will
be secured here in Yuma following
the good work done by the club Off
cials on the Yuma bridge project.
Yuma is to be the night control for
the Phoenix racers on Monday, No
vember 3. 1t is proposed at that time
to impress upon each of the entrants
the possibilities of a better route be-
tween Los Angeles and the center nf
the new state of Arizona and plans
are now being made for a banquet
when a report Of the work already
done and of the proposed project will
be outlined in brief, even though the
topic of absorbing interest will be the
work of the racing cars in the inter
city battle.
George Nicholson, president of the
Yuma National bank. is back of a
movement which will unite Los Ange-
les business men and the leaders OF
Yuma commercial life in fight for
the ocean-to-ocean highway by way of
this city and Phoenix.
