RIVERSIDE VIEW
OF THE HIGHWAY

Riverside Press: The Press cor
daily approves the concession made
by Assemblyman Alvey eliminating
the Mammoth Wash item of $4,000
from his highway bill. The measure
will now provide simply for 100000
to be spent in the construction of a
state highway along the south side of
the Salton sea to give the Imperial
and Palo Verde valleys an outlet to
the populous part of the counties of
Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange
and Los Angeles, and a connection
with the highways on which River
side and San Bernardino counties arc
spending 100000.
The amount proposed to be spent
on the Mammoth Wash was to meet
the conditions of automobile travel
from the East, and that is at present
a minor consideration. Not until high
way conditions in Arizona and New
Mexico are greatly improved is there
gong to be any great amount of
overland auto travel over this south
ern route. Within few years it may
be important to provide roads to
meet this travel; and when that time
comes the merits of the Mammoth
Wash and Sandhill routes to Yuma
can be fully investigated and one or
the other chosen, as seems best.
The vital thing is to provide the
people of the great Imperial and Palo
Verde valleys an outlet to the terri
tory in which they must market much
of their produce and with which they
have the most important business re-
latlons. With the completion of the
highways pronosed it will be possible

chcaply per ton-mile to be shipped 50
great a distance by truck. The same
is true of cotton, with the added
fact that cotton has no market in Los
Angeles.
Butter is extensively shipped to Ari-
zcna, as well as coast points, and
moves very satisfactorily by rail.
This journal does not see great pos
sibilities for the highway as a freight
route, though the operation of trucks
may serve to regulate rates.
But the highway from the valley to
Imperial Valley press., 1915-03-02

Los Angeles will be of great value
because of the new connection with
the coast afforded, but manly be-
cause it will afford a connecting link
in the transcontincnta traffic.
The position suddenly taken by Riv
erside and Redlands of lack of i'm
portance Of tourist automobile travel
is amazing 1t is not in accordance
with the traditions of those towns,
and all Southern California would be
vastly benefited by having the en-

]. A. ARMSTRONG AN
EX-JUSTICE Is DEAD
Paralys sis Kills Well known
Jackson Newspaper Print
er-65 Years Old.

Former Justice of the Peace J. A.
Armstrong, widely known official and
printer of Cape County, died at 1880
o'clock last night at his home in Jack
son of paralysis. The Judge was about
60 years old.
He had been i'll for month, but his
death came suddenly. The Judge prob
ably was one of the best known char
acters in Jackson. For many years
while in Jackson, he had been a printer
employed in both the F. A. Mcclure
and Kies Bros. shops there.
He was a Justice of the Peace in
Jackson for six years. Likewise he
was known in Jackson as one of the
best all around billiard players the
town had. His game, right up till the
time he became i'll, was considered
phenomenal. He was an expert at the
three-cushion game as we'll as straight
billiards.
Funeral arrangements last night
were not made as it will require some
time to notify his close relatives.
The Judge is survived by his widow
and four children. He has a married
daughter, Mrs. Emanuel Milde, and
three sons, one of whom resides in In
diana, and the whereabouts of the
other two is unknown.
The Judge came to Jackson thirteen
years ago from Rushville, Ind, where
his parents settled in pioneer days in
the Middle West.

Jackson, Sept. After Mrs. George
Hunters attention was attracted to
her home as she sat in neighbours
yard last night by series of ghost
like chickering's of the lights in various
rooms, an investigation disclosed that
burglars had ransacked the place.
An inspection of all the rooms, how
ever, revealed that the intruders had
taken nothing but their departure.
That was through wide open door in
the rear part of the house.
The Hunter residence is partly oc-
cupied by the family of William Rose.
The men were gone and Mrs. Hunter,
with Mrs. Rose, were sitting on the
porch of the Browning Hotel across
the street.
Mrs. Hunter noticed the lights in the
dining and sitting rooms switched on
and off quickly in her home. She I'M
mediately went to investigate. She
found no one in the place and heard
no one moving about.
As soon as she had resumed her
seat with Mrs Rose, however, after
having locked the downstairs windows
and both doors, her attention was at
tracted by the similar flicker of the
light in bedroom on the second floor.
Night Waterman Masters was call
cd and an investigation started. There
were plenty of indications that some
one had gone through the upstairs
thoroughly, but Mrs. Hunter found
that nothing had been carried away
The rear door stood wide open.
