Drops Foot
At Yuma Over NIGHT

Today's advices tell of rapid fall
of the Colorado above Yuma and ths
beginning of the fall there, with the
certainty that during the next few
days the river will show heavy
falling off at Yuma and the over
flow will decline.
At the same time, quite serious
cutting has developed at the river
levee, and hard fight confronts the
workers there.
General Marshall has left for Wash.
lngton, the government having com.
pleted the expenditure Of the money
in the Ockerson appropriation, and
the work remaining to be done under
the actual direction of Thomas Hind
the water wizard, who has been di-
recting the placing of the rock dur.
ing the fight with the flood.
The mutual companies, which orig
inally ordered work done to the
amount of $4,000 in rock dumping
doubled their order, and it seems in
evitable that more money will be set
aside for this work, as the river will
continue to cut during the falling pc
riod.
A little subsistence of the water at
the Volcano Lake levee is apparent,
and it is expected the coming week
will witness big drop there.
Down a Foot.
Engineer Sellew of the Laguna pro-
ject this morning wired the irrigation
district that the river gauge at Yu-
ma this morning shows 27.4 feet, d
drop of exactly foot in twenty four
hours and, as the record at Needles
shows steady fall for several days,
the river will still further decline rap
idly.
Robert Goree this morning report
ed to the Press from Calexico that
the overpour water had not vet
reached Encina flume, and consequent
ly reports of water in New river at
various points further down are er-
roneous. 1t seems that considerable
waste water was turned into the river
a few days since, and this fooled
many persons.
The supervisors have taken the pre-
caution to chain down the county
bridges, and it is hoped they may be
saved from washing away when the
water reaches them, though it is
feared there will be considerable dam
age. 1t is not thought the flume will
be injured and unless debris piles up
against the Holton Intcrurban bridge
at Sceley that structure is expected
to withstand the flood.

CALEXICO MASONS

About hundred Masons from the
other lodges of the valley joined the
order in Calexico last evening in the
dedication of the beautiful new tenn
pie, the past masters of the valley
having charge of the work.
Ths new, building is highly credi-
table to the border city, where the
Masonic order shows great strength
as well as in the other towns of the
valley.
A fine lunch was served and there
were many enthusiastic addresses.
Chief credit for the buildings was
given by the Calexico Masons to Pas,

VALLEY HOG RAISERS'
ASSOCIATION FORMED

AT well attended meeting at the
court house, Ell Centre, Wednesday
night, prominent hog raisers of the
valley met to form an association for
betterment of the industry.
DR.. Taylor and Manager Packard,
from the University Experiment Sta
ton, were on hand and pledged their
support, particularly as to helping
clear up the resent deplorable con-
dition of the county in regard to the
dreaded hog cholera.
The fact was brought out that I'M
erial county has led all other coun-
ties in the state in number of hogs
raised, but that the inroads of chol-
era have become so great that the
industry is on a rapid decline.
The association, as formed We'd
nesday night, will set itself to three
main endeavors eradication OF
cholera, through vaccination and san
itation; the establishment of an eff
fective quarantine against shipment
into this county of diseased hogs, and
later, cooperative marketing, if de-
sired by the members.
Every hog raiser, if only on a
small scale, should Immediately join
the association, if for no other rea-
son than to secure the services OF
the veterinarian whom the associa
ton will employ to look out for its
members needs exclusively, and to do
their vaccinating.
Another meeting will be held ut
the court house, Saturday afternoon,
June 20, at o'clock, to complete the
organization and appoint the veteri-
marian. A number who desired to
join the association failed to receive
notice in time. They are requested
to be present Saturday afternoon.
Future meetings will be held in diff
feren1 towns in succession. The next
one probably will be at Brawley,
where there are many hog raisers.
Directors elected to serve for the
first year are: G. d. Willoughby, Ca
lexico; E. A. German, Holtville; Ros-
coe Hazard, Brawley; S. P. Lyons, Ell
Centre, and Clifford Coggins, Impe-
rial.

Revolt Brewing.

Douglas, Ariz., June 1S.-Carefully
worde6 kilograms, announcing the
resignation of Villa as second chief
to Carranza, and the action of his
adherents in arresting Carranzista of
ficials at JuareZ, caused great eX-
citement today among constitutional
lists in Sonora.
Some expect Villa to take the field
against Carranza, in which case they
assert that Sonora state, due to the
recent Maytorena-Calle imbroglio
would support him.
Others believe that the strong
measures taken by General Alvarado
to stop strife between Colonel Gales
and Governor Maytorena will pre-
vent any counter revolutionary out
break.
Hermosillo rests quiescent today
under threat of martial law. But Col
onel Gales, who brought $50 armed
men Of the former Hermosillo guarc
to Nogales two days ago, is under
stood to be waiting developments il
the Villa -Carranza situation.
After the disarming of Maytorena'
palace guard, Sunday, General AL
varado distributed q pronounciament,
that any demonstrations would re
suit IN the declaration of martial law
that he was in Hormosillo to main
tain order, and that any infraction
of rules or laws would be promptl
and sternly dealt with.

Kishneff and st. Petersburg. An ex-

A message was sent Immediately

was waiting, telling of the dynamit-

rushed to the scene. The soldiers
secured the surrounding country
without results. The imperial train
then proceeded slowly, track walkers
