ON PRESENT NEED

San Francisco, June 15.-I have al
ways advocated repayment to the
Southern Pacific for work done in
closing the break of the Colorado riv-
er, and would approve bill by con-
gress appropriating the amount you
suggest. l think it very wise for the
irrigation district and Mexican land
to contribute a sufficient amount, to
the end that permanent control of the
Colorado river may be had. in COM
parison with the damage that would
result to the valley by failure to pro-
tect it from flood, the amounts neces-
sary to be raised are insignificant.

Extensive Plans Made
For the Fourth of July

There is no question that the
Fourth of July will be fittingly cele-
brated in Ell Centre under the au-
spices of the fire department.
Contract has been made for the dec
Grafton of the city, the official deco
rators being able to show their con-
tract to any business man whom they
solicit for decoration.
The official decorators, under the
terms of this contract, are to furnish
the general street decorations in re-
turn for the aid of the department in
securing contracts from the mer-
chants for the decoration Of their
places of business.
The program committee has made
provision for a day of sports that
will be long remembered. There will
be all manner of foot, automobile, mo-

torcycle and horse races, with a game
of baseball between Ell Centre and
Brawley, a basketball contest, fancy
bareback drill by cavalrymen from the
companies at CaleXico, baby show, wa
ter fight between two teams of three
men each, each team equipped with n
nozzle; novelty races of many kinds,
and a great free watermelon feed.
The orator of the day will be Jo-
seph F. Seymour, Jr., member of
the fire department, and Mayor Swan
son will present the visitors with the
keys to the city.
The program in full detail will be
given later, as all the plans are not
yet made.
There is indication that the entire
valley will join in making this one OF
the largest assemblages of people
ever seen in the valley.

Paris, June 16.-The number killed
in Monday nights storm here will
reach twenty, according to police
statement today. The majority were
engulfed in street cave-ins, due to the
terrific rains. Some pits are a block
long and thirty feet deep. Four per-
sons were crushed, the bodies being

heart of the city. Conditions are i'm

The streets today present a fright
full appearance. For blocks they ap-
pear as if plowed up, with great fis-
sures and lakes throughout many sec
tions Of the city. Sewer and water
mains have bursted and several pop
ulous sections are without sewer OF

Aroused Against Americans.

On board U. S. S. California, Mazat-
Ian, Mexico, June Is (By wireless to
San Diego, CAL, June 16.)-Anti-
American sentiment was stirred
among the people in Mazatlan who
angering the pro-constitutionalists, new
because of the circulation of reports
by the federal officials that the Unit
ed States had decided to recognize
Huerta.
While the circulated reports were
angering the pro-constiutionalists, new
hope was taken by the federal troops,
who are resisting the attack on the
federal garrison begun by General
Obregon June II.
There has been a lull in the active
fighting around Mazatlan, but the
federal steamer Pesquira, which was
seeking to enter the harbor and rem
der aid to the besieged and starving
population inside the city, was driven
away by heavy fire from the con-
StltutfOnallSt batteries.
Lumber has arrived at Manzanillo
from Puget Sound for the rebuilding
of the dock which was burned by the
federals on April %.
Reports received on the California
are to the effect that all west coast
cities except Mazatlan are quiet.

the British challengers and American

Redding, Cal, June 16.-Mount Las
sen is quiet today, the only sign of
activity since Monday being thin
wsp of steam. The general opinion
is that the quiescence is only tempo
rarv and that the twenty-minute erup-
tion schedule will be resumed. Tour
lists are pouring into the district to-
day, but Forest Supervisor Rushing
has issued warning and is trying
to prevent any one venturing near
the mountain. Rushing now believes
the eruptions are volcanic. Many fam
lilies near the mountain are moving.

RIVER is FALLING
AT YUMA TODAY:
STEADY AT NEEDLES

Advices today received by the ir-
rigation district officials from sew
eral sources are that the river has
subsidized two-tenths of foot at Yu-
ma during the last twenty-four hours,
while it has remained stationary at
Needles.
This makes it look as though the
highest point of the flood has passed,
though there has been great deal
of conflict in the information OBJ
tanned.
Behind the levee at Volcano lake
there has been a slight rise, due to
the crest of the flood reaching that
point, and it is not expected there
will be decline at that point for I
day or two, when it is expected a
steady subsistence will develop, and it
is still thought the chances are that
the falling of the flood will practi-
cally close the break for this year.
The irrigation district directors are
in session today discussing the situa-
alton, but no action had been taken up
to noon.
On request of the advisory board,
c. N. Perry, who has not been regu-
larly in charge of the work at the
break in the levee, has been put in
charge, and he will conduct as ac-
tive a campaign of protection as pos
sible.
He has large force of men now
busy filling sacks and placing them
in position to protect the broken ends
of the levee, to prevent erosion OF
the ends, which are being held very
Satisfactorily.
1t appears that it was on request OF
William j. Best, the engineer ir
charge of the work at the levee, that
fifty men were sent to the break Mon
day to supplement the force ther
there, Director Cochran of Water

HUMOROUS SIDE OF
 POLITICAL SITUATION
By Geo, B. Wilcox

My progressive friends, have you noticed the humorous side of the pres ent political situation, so far as it re- lates to the efforts of the standpats to induce the progressives of Arizona to come into their camp?
 It reminds me of the efforts of Huer- ta, the usurper and assassin of Mexico, who after meeting with defeat in every battle he has fought with the constitu- tionalists of Mexico, and after having lost nearly two thirds of the country to them, is now offering them pardon and general amnesty if they will only come over to his side and help him out of the mess he is in at this time.
 Huerta destroyed his country. Re publican bosses destroyed the party. Huerta was traitor to his duly elected president and the people who elected him. Republican bosses were traitors to the party and the voters who com posed it.
 Comes now the weak and repudiated Huerta and rays the assistance of the very people he betrayed.
 Comes now the weak remnant of the republican party with these same cor rupt bosses and prays the assistance of the very voters they betrayed. Do you believe that the friends or Madero will fly to the assistance of Huerta? Neveri
 Do you believe the men and women who revere Lincoln and follow Roose- vent will surrender to those character assassins Barnes and Penrose and their followers in Arizona? Neveri It is to laugh is it not? What do these political tricksters take us for anyway? Do you suppose that they
 really believe that the few additional

FIRST SPECIAL PRIZE
 OFFERED BY "sTOcKMAN"
Midsummer Fair Premiums Changed- Entries May Now be Made to Men
 in Charge of Exhibits

The first of the special prizes to be announced for the Maricopa County Mid summer Fair is offered by the Southwestern Stockman- Farmer. In stead of the prize of a years subscrip- ton to each exhibitor offered last year the paper wishes to make a lump sum of $10 in cash as grand prize for the exhibitor who receives the highest total number of individual prizes.
 This is very satisfactory substitution and is a prize that is worth going after.
 Prof. McOmie, director of farmers in stitutes says: We will be very glad to receive suggestions and special off, CTS from any of the business firms and farmers of the county. These can be sent to Mr. A s. Reed, president of the organization or to w. G. Wilson, sec retary. R. F. D. of the same organiZa- tion, or to myself at the Agricultural Experiment Station, Phoenix.
