FEDERALS PREPARING FOR VII
LA ATTACK.

Preside, Tex, Jan S.-1Scatterea

the Rio Grande, the Carrancista
forces waited to learn whether Gen
Francisco villa would reunite theM

west of Ojinga. "A division com
manded by Gen. Herrera is reported
en- route from Chihuahua with fresh
SUPPLIES of ammunition. Gen. Her
rera is believed to be within easy
march of Ojinaga.
Gen. Villas position is that so long
as the federals with their ten OF
more generals remain in the north
he can not continue his campaign
toward Mexico City because to marcIhs
south without defeating Gen. Castro
would be to invite rear attack.

army break down the outer defenses
and regain their position at the foot

MAY MAKE CHANGE
IN ASSESSMENT

At the meeting of the city trustees
last evening property owners north
of Main street asked that the asses
ment for paving in that section be
changed to assessment by district, in
stead of by frontage and the trustees
will take up with the Barber Paving
Company the question of the possi-
bility of making the change.
The trustees adopted the district
plan south of Main street and had
intended to do so on the north, but
old not take final action. The as

plan, which had been followed last
year in the heart of the business dis

Prosperity Era Is
Now to Sweep Nation

Standing out pre-eminently as
factor in creating the confidence that
g prosperity boom is beginning is the
big grain crop. Statistics from all
parts of the country where grain cul-
tivation is an industry show that the
crop this year gives promise of prov
ing the greatest in the history of the
country, and some are deducing from
this fact alone that the United States
is on the verge of most prosperous
period.
President Wilson took hand him
self today in the nationwide cam
raign for prosperity by manifesting
deep concern in the situation. He telc-
graphed an invitation to S. V. Ber-
tron of the banking firm of Bertron,
Griscom & Co. of New York to come
to the White House Wednesday for
a conference on the business situa-
tion and antitrust legislation.
The president today saw Rapha 4
Herman of Detroit and Joseph G.
Branch of Chicago Other conferences
Of similar nature will be held at the
White House this week.
Mr.. Herman, who was introduced
to the president by Representative Do
remus of Michigan, told the president
that in his opinion business men gen
orally agreed that antitrust legis-
lation should be put through at the
present session and that business con
dltions generally are improving.

Washington, July 15.-A tidal wave
of prosperity is swiftly and certainly
on it's way over the nation and it is
only a matter of months-perhaps
weeks-before business in every cor
ner of the country will be enjoying
the greatest era in it's history.
This is the prediction that was made
here following the completion of an
exhaustive investigation into business
and financial affairs by government
officials in the hopes of obtaining a
definite outlook on the future of the
country. A poll of the nation has
been made and great mass of cor
respondence today litters the offices
of the men in immediate touch with
the administration. Each part in it
self spells prosperity for the future,
with scarcely the delay resulting even
from preparation. 1t appears from
the communications that the excel
lent standard of business conditions
is ready to evidence itself at any mo-
ment. &
While there is wide variance OF
opinion as to the prospects for the
next six months, the optimistic tone
runs consistently throughout almost
all the reports, which are from bank
ers, railroad heads, manufacturers.
merchants and special correspondents.
All have canvassed the situation at
the suggestion of the official depart
ments, and their replies are virtually
without disparity.

her. Even the assistant on the Amer.
lea must be far and away above The
average as an aviator. 1t is one thing
to drive a machine for ten hours
fifteen hours, over a stated course
over the land. 1t is an entirely diff
ferent thing to drive this machine
over water, over the boundless ocean,
for that length of time.
In the first instance, the aviator
is always in sight of good old Moth
er Earth. In the other, when man
is faced with the endless expanse of

Illness, the sense of helplessness, will
be awful. The very enormity of Ma
ture will be overwhelming. And, most
important of all, is the necessity Of
the pilot possessing an intimate
knowledge of navigation. I under
stand that Lieutenant Poret is hard
ly grounded in the rudiments of this
exacting science, which must be in
fallible, once land is lost sight of.
I believe that the mental tension
will be more wearing than the ply
sical tax of handling the wheel
90 not believe that any man in the
world can, without training, stand
the terrible strain. Long and con-
slant practice alone can fit man for
such feat.
To be sure, Lieutenant Porte will
have with him capable mechanician,
but he should have another seasoned
aviator, one who has stood the gaff,
and who should alternate with him
in four or five-hour tricks at the
wheel. He should have an expert
cnced OverWater aviator, like either
Charlie Wilmer or Frank Coffyn.
Those on the America will quickly
become accustomed to the roar of the
propeller, and absolute physical wear
mess will induce-even force-sleep.

fellow passenger on the Lusitania
coming from Europe last April, I
know him to b susceptible to" the
smiles of Morpheus, to be inclined to

BRAWLEY PLANS FOR
BASEBALL GAMES

Brawley News: Directors of the
Brawley Baseball Association met last
nigh at the Business Mems Club and
transacted important routine business.
in which the all-important subject
was the contract engagement of a
team Of the best ball players N Amer
lea. Among those present were Ma
jor w. T. Dunn, president; Harry
Baum, H. l.. Fulton, George Reiner,
j, l.. Sheffield, Supervisor Frank Beal,
DR.. Laurence L. Lindsey, M. B. Stey-
er and Judge J. H. Stevenson.
The directors authorized the en-
ployment of number of famous
stars, who have sgnifed their eager
ness to serve in the pennant-winning
Brawley team. The names of these
great players are withheld at this
time, for obvious reason. The pub
lie nay rest assured that the team
will he composed of the best players
in America, whose acceptance alone
will be a first class advertisement OF
Brawley.
The eagerness of the great stars of
the game to come to Brawley is due
directly to the personal influence Of
the hig league players who were in
the Rrawley team last winter. They
have spread everywhere the fame of
Brawley as a city of matchless hospi-
tality and opportunity, with a per-
feet winter climate and unrivaled So
cial advantages.

Praises the Fruit.

Los Angeles Tribune: Fifteen
punches of luscious Malaga and Pur-
pie Damascus grapes-the first ship.
ment from the famous vineyard of
Charles Balance in the Imperial Val
ley-were received by J. S. Mitch
ell ut the Hollenbeck hotel yester-
Cay.
These grapes would retail at S5 a
lunch in the New York market, ac-
oording to Mr.. Mitchell, and, as there
are no local market quotations on
the fruit from Mr.. Balances ranch,
Mr.. Mitchell asserts tho foregoing
price will be paid for the grapes
here.
There are approximately 100 grapes
on each bunch, which, figured on the
basis of S. bunch, means that each
individual grape is worth S cents.
Mr.. Balance, who is a pioneer
lancher in the Imperial Valley. for
several years has sent the first fruits
of his ranch to Mr.. Mitchell, who
claims the Imperial Valley grower
produces the finest figs, cantaloupes,
peaches and grapes in the West.

New Haven Officials
Face Criminal Charge

Washington, July 15.-With the un-
measured denunciation of the "malad-
ministration" of New Haven financial
affairs and criminal negligence" Of
directors, the interstate commerce
commissions sensational report on it's
investigation Of the New England
railroad lines was before the senate
committee working to frame legisla-
tion for control of railroad financier-
iEg, interlocking directorates and
ether subjects concerned in the inves-
tigation.
Administration supporters declared
that many of the recommendations of
the commission agreed perfectly with
portions of President Wilson's trust
legislation program.
1ne next step IN New haven al
fairs, however, was expected from
the department of justice. Apart
from alleged violations of laws of
states and liability of the New Ha-
ven's directors, over which Attorney
General McReynolds has said the fed
eral statutes have no control, the de-
partment was concerned chiefly in the
commissions findings that all the
acts characterized as Corrupt and
were for the purpose of set
ting up monopoly in violation of
the federal statutes.

bound.
That the railroad traffic should ex-
ceed the previous records is rather
notable, when it is considered that
scores of people are travelling by auto
stages and in private machines to
and from the coast, the traffic in this
way being several times as heavy as

Mid Summer is Now Here
Thoughts Turn To Fall

This is midsumm,r day. June, July
and August are recognized as the hot
months, and this is the middle day
of the period. May and September
come in midway between, and each
is liable to bring some rather warm
weather, but moderated from the ex-
treme.
Thus for there have been but four
or five days with temperatures dis
agreeably high, with an equal num-
ber Of rather sultry nights, but other
wise the summer has passed thus far
very agreeably, and now people are
turning their thoughts to the busy
fall, which lies but month and
half ahead and for which it is neces-
sary to make much preparation.
The great improvement noted
throughout the country in general
financial conditions and the great ac-
tivity which will result from the in
flux of people in the fall and winter
present conditions which cannot be
met without previous attention, and
it is believed the influx from the
coast will this year begin promptly
on September /, as it did last year
There are more people remaining
through the summer in the valley than
efer before, and industrial affairs are
already beginning to show much i'm
provement, while the spirit of Opt
mism prevails as it has not done for
several weeks.
All of this is tending to make the
summer pass quickly, and the valley
will glide rapidly through the next
six weeks to the opening of the new
season.
One of the reasons why activity has
continued through the summer so well
is the colonization work done by the
promoters of the towns of Calipatria
and INLAND, who have continued to
send people here by the score, and
these people have naturally wanted
to see the entire vally Will here.
Many of them have become inter-
ested in town and country property,
and the plans are completed for i
great developmental work in the North
End, already under way, but to be
greatly extended when cooler weather
comes.
Probably this is responsible in
large part for the fact that passen-
ger traffic on the railroad has been
Ligger than was ever before known
at this season. Trains coming to the
valley have every upper and lower
berth occupied almost every night,
while the outward bound traffic il

GREAT FLIGHT GIVES
ENCOURAGEMENT

New York, July 15.-The record
made Saturday by Reinhold Boehm at
Johannisthal, when he remained in
the air "a hours IL minutes, and flew
1850 miles, has caused members of
the Aero Club to feel more confident
that Lieutenant Porte will accomplish
his proposed transatlantic flight in
the airbOat America.
Imperial Valley press., 1914-07-15

Boehm used an ordinary biplane in
his flight, and the fact that it was
not equipped for an endurance test
is an indication, according to Henry
Woodhouse of the Aero Club, that the
America, with her special equipment,
will be able to carry Lieutenant Porte
to the Azores without mishap.
The route to be followed by Lieuteh-
ant Porte to the Azores is 114O miles.
or some 210 miles less than the dis
tanca covered by Boehm.
