AMERICAN FLAG BLANKETS
ARE FREE THIS WEEI,

Every smoker in town who pur-
chases a 10c package of Egypticnne
Straights Cigarettes, during the neXl
few days, will receive a large Ameri-
can Flag Blanket The size of these
blankets is causing quite a stir, as
they are nearly fooot long. Tobac-
co dealers in town say the demand for
these blankets is very great, as the
ladies have found so many uses for
them. They predict that their linn
tied supply of these extra large nov
elites will soon be exhausted, and urge
smokers to take advantage of this free
offer right away.
The manufacturers of Egyptienne
Straights seem quite willing to make
this offer to secure the wide trial they
desire for this brand. 1t is said that

REAVIS TELLS OF WONDERS
TO LARGE AUDIENCE

Los Angeles, June 22.-Great en-
thusiasm was aroused in connection
with the California Day program at
the Grand Carnival of States held
here Saturday, when John d. Reavis
delivered an address entitled INLAND,
the Wonder of the Southland in
which he enthusiastically presented
the resources of the Imperial Val
ley.
Mr.. Reavis opened his address by
referring to that famous quotation of
Solomon when he said "There is
nothing new under the sum-" and
pointed to the fact that the newest
thing in Southern California was the
development within 200 miles of Los
Angeles of a veritable reproduction o.
the Pharoah-land of Egypt, where
soil conditions and the silt-depositin.
waters of the Colorado were almost
counterparts of the Egyptian Nile.
Mr.. Reavis stated that the pyra-
mids of Imperial Valley were the
pyramids of unity, strength and

there is no chance about this matter
| but that it is certain thing that
unless something is done, and dona
permanently and good, that the whole
Colorado river sooner or later will
again come into the Salton sink, and

ton to know about as much about
this matter as anyone.
"Stcps should be taken immediate

the senators and congressman and Il

try to get an appropriation from con
gress of $1,500,000 or $2,000,000 to
put in permanent control works. This
committee should Immediately take
It up with the chambers of commerce
of Los Angeles, San Diego and other
sections of the country, and get their
support and help. l feel certain that
the chambers of commerce of these
cities as we'll as other California cit
les will be glad to do all they can to
help US in getting this appropriation.
The matter should he taken up with
the people at Yuma, who are also
interested in this matter, and through

go to work and get this money and
get il to put into permanent and sub
stantial control works, and then after
these works are in they should be
properly looked after and maintained
all of the time.
1t is absolutely necessary that the
money be gotten from some source
to take charge of this matter, and that
it be gotten soon, and / believe that

as one more proof that the disease
existed from the remotest times and
is Independent of climate. 1t has been
found in bodies buried close to the
Mediterranean shores, in bodies from
Upper Egypt and Nubia, and even in
g skeleton buried in the tropics at
Merawi, one of the hottest and driest
places in the world. Judging from two
cases of enlarged spleen which were
found in Coptic bodies, Ruffer VEN
lures the suggestion that these peo-
pie suffered from malaria.
"Pyorrhea appears to be as old as
the human race. Evidence of such
disease has been found in prehistoric
skulls and in the specimens from al
most all nationalities. Ruffer has
found nothing to suggest that the
Copts knew anything about dentistry.
The long recognized bad state of the
teeth of ancient Egyptians is again
emphasized in the Coptic bodies. AL
most every skull has some serious
dental defect 1t is suggested that this
may perhaps be accounted for by the
fact that very little care of the teeth
appears to have been taken. The thick
incrustations of tartar are sufficient
evidence that the Copts did not clean
their teeth at all. In many peoples
and animals the absence of the tooth
brush is compensated for by the fact
that the food is hard. -. - u

prosperity constructed by an intelli
gent citizenship, which is fourteen
years had developed Imperial Valley
from an unreclaimed desert into thu
Winter Garden Of America. Thai
the production of $14,000,G00 woulc
reach nearly S20,000,000 in 1914, and
eventually S50,000,000 a year would
be produced from this American Nile
land.
After the address by Mr.. Reavis
hundreds gathered around him and
asked him questions about the val
ley and unusual interest was evi-
denced as a result Of the appearance
in Saturdays papers of the photo
graph and accoun tof the feat Of
Ivey Brothers of producing Americas
earliest bale of bottom.
Among others who were present
and exhibited great interest in the
valley were Hon. Frank G. Tyrrell,
candidate for superior judge; Joseph
Ford, candidate for district attorney,
NJ. ID. Chamberlain, author of Cali
fornia Poem," and Charles II. Par
son, secretary of Federation of State
Societies.
AN of these persons received lit
erature at the Imperial Valley booth

Quoted by the California Land and

which leaves here July 3 for two
days tour of the valley that will in
clude an opportunity to pick cotton
in the fields. This excursion will be
the first in the history of the val

TO permanently upset the traditional
belief about the unbear-

men were hiding their arms. In re-
ply to that the federal officer in COM
mand served notice on the editor of
the paper that he must print re-
traction. Ihave myself seen the doc
ument which the officer wrote out in
his own handwriting abiect and
humiliating apology. Unless this was
published the paper would be sup
pressed.
The lawyer advised the editor to
defy this order, and he personally de-
fed the officer to carry out his threat,
nth the result that the officer backed
down.

The strikers are not allowed to picket
at the depot-for which rule there
is no warrant in law or justice.
So it would seem the companies
have only to wait and starve out the
strikers. One thing stands in the
way, however. There are elections
coming next November. The cor
porations and their henchmen have
relied upon these four coal counties
to carry the state. They have been
accustomed to hold up the returns on
election night until they see the num-
Der of votes they need. |
Should there be an honest election,
the corporations might lose their grip |

between the federal troops and the
miners.
The day l left Denver the press
dispatches reported that somebody
had thrown brick out of a window
at the soldiers. Then night came on,
and somebody fired some shots at the
soldiers from the hills. Of course,
the press dispatches said this was the
work of the miners. / cannot say, for
l was not here. l can only point out
that the miners have everything to
lose and nothing to gain by such pro-
ceedings; that the only gamers will
be the coal operators, their gunner,
and their private detectives.
They have innumerable spies
among the miners. What more sim
pie than to have them throw some
bricks and start some fighting? What
more simple than to get party of
the miners drunk-or, for that mat
ter, to get some soldiers drunk, and
to tell them stories and reveal plots
to them?
Some may say the company man
ayers would be incapable of such
thing. Let me point out to you that
some of the richest capitalists in
New England were not above hav-
ing dynamite planted" in order to
discredit the Lawrence strikers.
Let me point out to you the length
the operators went to in their efforts
to discredit the expedition which
Judge Lindsey conducted to Wash
ington. At the courtmartial which
has been called to whitewash Lieut..
Linderfelt and the other professional
murderers some of the officers were
actually permitted to testify against
the character of the women who had
accompanied the judge and inter-
viewed the president. One of them,
it appears, had been intimate with
Louis Tikas. First they murdered
the man, and then they tried to muir
der the reputation of the woman!

Men in business in other cities, who
as boys graduated at the Furlow school
here are interested deeply in the sue
cess of the occasion, as evidenced by
letters received recently by Supt ]. E.
Mathis, of the Americas schools.
One of these came from Mr.. Charles
Galloway, of Atlanta, containing a SIS
check and CHEEKY message of good
will for his alma mater. Other contri-
buttons of cash and pictures for the
school buildings have also been re-
ceived.
Aside from the great pleasure that
will be afforded the school girls and
school boys of the past, in this COM
ing together in happy reunion, the
occasion is designed to raise a fund
wherewith to purchase pictures for
the wellnigh bare walls of Americas
new school buildings. In this move
ment the public will respond cheer

cises at the High School Wednesday
evening.
1t would add greatly to the success
of the occasion if a number of class
pictures would be loaned, and any one
having such pictures should notify
Supt. Mathis tomorrow morning.

ADJUSTING LOCAL
TERMINAL MATTER
RELATIVE TO BUILDING OF SIDE
TRACKS ALONG HAMPTON
STREET.

A party Of Central railway officials,
including Division Supt. R. J. Har-
Ian, Chief Engineer c. K. Lawrence,
Industrial Agent ]. M. Mallory and Mr..
C. P. Hammond, chief engineer main
tenance of way, arrived in Americas
this morning aboard a special car and
spent the day here upon business rel
alive to the extension of sidetracks of
the Central from the freight yards
along Hampton street, in accordance
with permission granted by city coun-
Gil.
The proposition will be gone into at
length with property-owners relative
to possible damage to abutting prop
erty along the proposed route, should
such damage result.
The Central Railway Co. has for a
long time desired to extend track
along Hampton street, from point be-
ginning at the peach canning plant
southwark towards Lamar street, near
the baseball park. Consent of city
council for the extension was readily
secured, but later the railway COM
pany was stopped in the work pro-
posed by property-owners, under in
junction proceedings, and the matter
has since been in the courts.
Recently decision favorable to the
railway company was rendered, and
this important step, which means much
along lines of progress, will now be
taken.
The extension of Central railway
tracks along Hampton street, will
greatly enhance property values there
and make available for manufacturing
sites or wholesale houses a great deal
of realty now untitled.

caught in the net of some fishermen
and being covered by seaweed is not

will transform her into maiden, she
sets out to punish those who are re-
sponsible for her sisters death.
After long series of adventures
she looses the charm and has to re-
main a mortal, though an exalted one,
for she becomes queen to the hand

umphed over the usurper of his
