There Is more Oatarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was SUD- posed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro- nouced it local disease and pre- scribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional treatment. Halls Oatarrh Cure, manufactured by J. F. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only Constitutional cure on the market.

Monticello Game Thrown Out.

President Judd wrote Manager Neilsen Monday, that he had thrown out the Monticello-Der- mott Game, at Monticello June 11th, on the grounds that the um- pire had no right to reverse his decision after the players had left the field, and that he should not have permitted runner to score during the time the crowd was on the field.-Dermott News.
 As neither of the propositions set out above are true, or any thing near the truth, MT. Judd, if he had attempted what is as- cribed to to him has exceeded his jurisdiction, and Monticello will not stand for such action If it requires this game to win the penant, the penant is ours. MT. Judd and his autocratic, un- heard of and unreasonable ruling to the contrary, notwithstanding From the best information We can get about this game, MT. Judd, who has, thus far, been  acting as President, seemed to entirely ignore the statement of the Umpire, and refused to hear testimony from Monticello peo- pie, but blindly and credulously accepted the statements of a few disappointed and disgruntled Dermott ball-players. It is un- fortunate that such a breach should come up but as it was not Monticello's fault, there is nc call for our being robbed.

BIGGEST ROAD CONGRESS-
COUNTRY EVER HAS SEEN

Oakland, Cal, Sept. 13.-What gives
all indications of being the greatest
assemblage Of road builders ever seen
in America opened here today under
the name Of the Pan-American Road
Congress. Organizations participat-
ing are the American Road Builders
Association, the American Highway
Association, the Pacific Highway As
sociation and the Tri-State Good
Roads Association of Washington,
Oregon and California. The congress
has drawn thousands of delegates.
Their interests include materials,
methods of building, maintenance, fl
RANGING, engineering and educating
the public.
Representatives of Canadian prov
inces and Of Central and South Amer
lean republics give the congress its
Pan American character, but the
greatest interest lies in suggestions
for national and state road building
programs.
Delegates bring the word that al
most every section of the country is
becoming aroused to the necessity for
and the value of good roads. The
chief question in most communities
appears to be methods of financing
whether bonds or direct taxes are
preferable, how long bonds should run
and the matter of sinking funds and
bond retirement.
Governor Charles W. Gates of Yer
mont is chairman of the executive
committee in charge of the convention,
other committee members being Ma
ior w. W. Crosby Or Maryland, James
H. Mcdonald, Connecticut; j. f. Pen
nybacker of the U. S. Office of Pub
lie Roads, and E. l.. Powers, editor of
Good Roads.

LOST ON 70 A ID

Constable c. c. Toney and Mrs. To-
uey returned Saturday night from a
vacation Of a month, spent in the
near San Diego
Mr.. and Mrs. Toney left month
ago, but returned the day following
their departure, when Mr. Toney dis
covered that a vest containing his
bank book, $40 in currency and a note
for $4,000 had been lost before they
reached the grade at the foot Of the
mountains.
He was unable to find any trace OF
the missing apparel and after giving
it up as lost left again on the trip.
They were agreeably surprised, on
returning home Saturday evening, to
find that the vest had been found by
an employe of the county, working
ON the desert road, and returned to a
local bank
The vest was picked up where the
desert road intersects the San Diego
&. Arizona railroad and Constable To-
ney is iubilant over the recovery.

APPOINTMENT OF
MARSHAL Is SAID
TO BE DOUBTFUL

The appointment Of a deputy United
States marshal who will be stationed
at FL Centre for duty in Imperial
county is doubtful according to re
ports received here from Los Ange
les.
In the event that such an appoint
ment should be made, the appointee
would be known as a field deputy and
instead Of being placed on salary
would draw only the fees from the
work that was actually performed.
The deputy marshals at Los Ange-
les are salaried officers, and it is un-
derstood those officials, who would
have the placing of such an officer in
Imperial Valley, are loath to make the
appointment, either on Il salary or
fee basis
The deputy marshal at Los Ange-
les mas made request for an Off
Ger to be stationed in Imperial coun-
ty, but the decision of Washington
officials has not yet been made known.

Failing in his efforts to give New

at least give "A spectacular one to
himself and family. SO he had a
marvellous two-story limousine con
structed-a veritable motor palace it
is, with kitchen, bedrooms, shower
hath, library, electric light, fans, ra-
diators, vacuum cleaner, and, in fact,
every luxury of a Riverside Drive
apartment.
And in this overland yacht, built
to rival the Imperator in point OF
comfort, Conkln has planned jour
ney to the Panama Pacific exposition.
With him are his wife, their son and
their daughter Julia, a girl friend
of the latter, Mr.. Conklin's two neph-
ews, a governess, a cook and Uwu
chauffeurs.

two cozy arm chairs convertible into

fold against the ceiling during the
dav. Each berth has two soft-shaded
reading lights. There IS writing

+ The galley contains an ieeboX and
every variety of electric cooking APP

has been indulging in peach short

There is a bathroom with a shower

goods, preserves and groceries.
A motorcycle is carried, for use
in case of BREAKDOWN, and portable
bridge, and fibre mats to use on sandy
roads constitute part of the equip
ment
On the shaded upper deck are lux
,,rious lounges, and lockers for sup
ples. 1t is here that the younger
members of the party are spending
most of their time these days.
The party will follow the Lincoln
Highway to Chicago and Denver, and
hence will strike out for Frisco
