"The board of supervisors is keenly
alive to the fact that the county needs

be supplied. That jail will cost ap-
proXimately $4,000 and, added to the

chat money must be raised either
through an added tax rate or by a

"The court house is in a bad condi-
ton and in addition to the damage
which has been done by the quake, the
structure is veritable fire trap.
Wooden partitions have been built in
many parts Of the building. Every
where on the second floor is inflam-
mablc material. The floors are wood
en-, as is the staircase, and the air
vents on the second floor increase the
peril in the event that the building
ever took fire.
"The quake cracked the vault in
which the county recorders records
are kept and if the building had taken
fire after the quake it is highly prob
able that every record in the vault
would have been destroyed, at a cost
to the people Of Imperial Valley OF
about million dollars, aside from the
damage the building would have SUI
fered.
"The money which must be raised TO
reconstruct the court house, to carry
out the work on the bridges for which
the county has already pledged Itself,
and to construct a Jail, could better
be raised through bond issue than
through an increase in the tax rate.

the line of scientific disturbance
which now and then shakes old Mother
Earth in California passes across the
east end Of this valley, skirting the
south side Of the mountains, and eX-
tending nolthwesterly through Caion

This is not news to people who
have studied the geology of the valley
ana the trend Of California temblora
But that the fault extended to tn
Imperial valley and probably into the
Gulf Of California was Il new develop
ment. Without much doubt the recent
disturbances in the Imperial country
was the proof of that theory. Harry
X. johnson, a scientific student and
geological expert, writing in the Los
Angeles Times, furnishes this .nfor-
nation with reference to the "baek-
bone" of all the great California
earthquakes:
"To those who have made any study
on the subject, it is we'll known that
the San Francisco earthquake Of 1906,
as well as those of previous years,
have had their origin along line of
crustal disturbance extending from
Point Arena upon the coast Of Mendo-
elmo county southeastWard through
Tomaes and Boinas bay into the San
Francisco peninsula and thence along
an almost exactly straight line south
eastwardly through the Hollister dis
trict into the rugged mountains Of
southern San Benito county.
"What has perhaps not been 50 well
known is the fact that this same line
of disturbance continues on southeast
ward through the Priest valley and
Parkfield districts of southeastern
Monterey county and thence along the
southwestern side of the TembloI
range into the Cariso plain, the north
eastern margin Of which is very
sharply defined by the peculiar to
biography characterizing the earth
quake rift.

WHOLE STATE To HELP
ON GOOD ROADS DAY
Men in Every County Will Don
Overalls and Go Out to Work
on May rs

Judging from reports made to the
State Highway Department, there will
be a hearty response all over Penn
sylvania to Governor Brumbaugh's
call for good roads" on May 26 and
men in every county will don overalls
and go out and work. Highway Com
missioner Cunningham, Deputy Com
missioner Hunter and Chief Engineer
Uhler have been busy arranging for
the cooperation of the department
with the men Of organizations and in
dividuals who have agreed to take off
their coats.
Every effort will be made not only
to enlist the forces of the State High
way Department on Good Roads
Day. but also to urge and advise
township supervisors boards in the
more than fifteen hundred townships
throughout the State to do all that
they can to make the Good Roads
Day red-lettered in the States his
tory. AS showing the interest taken by
the department in the project. Chief
Erglneer Uhler las written to the
assistant engineers in charge of the
districts throughout the State, telling
them that II is the wish of State High
way Commissioner CUNNINGHAM that
they make such arrangements as are
necessary to give such advice and en-
couragement as is possible to the
movement" The chief engineer fur
ther has told the assistant engineers
that should there be any machinery or
other equipment not in use on State
highways. they may authorize its being
used on the township roads on that
day, and they are instructed also to
authorize the superintendents in their
districts to cooperate.
A statment issued at the danar+
ment says:
First Deputy State Highway Com

PUBLIC SERVICE
REPORTS ON YEAR
Says Something Should Be Done
to Halt the Great Loss of Life
on the Railways

The number of the accidents and
casualties which occur in the State in
the operation of the transportation
facilities deserves the thoughtful con-
sideration OF the commission, the leg
islature the governor and all in au-
| thority," SAYS the Public Service COM
mission in its first annual report which
has been made public. Between July
i26, 1913, and June 80, 1914, 1881
persons were more or lessinjured in
the course Of the operation of the rail-
ways of the State. OF these 10, ,190
| occurred in connections with the oper-
alton OF railways. Fifteen passengers.
32S employees 555 trespassers and 93
unclassified persons were killed or the
railroads. Fifteen employees, g pas
sengers, twenty trespassers and 116
unclassiified persons were killed on the
railways. This appears to be a tre-
mendous toll of injury 10 pay for the
moving around OF men and freight and
doubtless by proper provision much OF
il could be obviated, One hundred
and twenty-four persons were killed
at grade crossings
The commission recommends tres
passers act to prevent unauthorized
persons from going where they are in
danger
The report shows that 81 of 73 cases
handed over from the old State Rail-
road commission were determined by
the commission and since July 25.
1913. when the new commission began
business 251 complaints have been
filed. The commission held 165 meet
ings in Harrisburg. II in Philadelphia

Eighty-five issues of stock have
