COMM|TTEE ACCEPTS WARREN|TE
 AND ROAD ENGINEERS RESIGN

Supervisor Proebstel moved that the Mesmer & Rice (concrete) bid be accepted.
 Supervisor Shanssey moved the O.. & c. company (Warrenite) bid be ac- cepted This was seconded by Chair man Donovan, and the vote of the supervisors stood to l, in favor of "Warrenite," the three advisory com mitteemen already having voted ln its favor.
 AS soon as the vote was announced Consulting Engineer Hunter rendered his resignation, followed by County Engineer Hindman.
 , Speeches from each commissioner and from each supervisor followed, each declaring he had performed his
 nty as his conscience dictated, ana all of them requesting Messrs. Hun ter and Hlndman to retain their posi- tions.
 Mr. Mesmer, who proved to be a good loser, made neat little speech of thanks for the consideration that mad been given his firms bid and said that he always bowed gracefully to the will of the majority.
 The 'Warrenite" people will at once enter a bond guaranteeing the road for 5 years, whereas no guarantee went with any of the other bids.
 The general consensus of opinion is that Yuma valley has obtained the best road that money can build, and from what I know of "Warrenite" roads and streets ill Phoenix and Eli Paso, 1 feel safe in assuring the peo- pie of Yuma county that the board of supervisors and the advisory commit tee have done the best days work that was ever done for Yuma valley.
 The question is now settled. We are to have a ''Warrenite" road from Yuma to Somerton, and it will be actu- ally completed before the first of next May.

By a vote of 5 to 1, the con- tract for paving the good roads from Yuma to Somer- ton was awarded this morn ing to the O. & c. Company, which means that the first good road in Yuma county will be constructed of War renite.
 It was a rather heated ses- sion of the joint meeting of the supervisors and the ad- visory committee, the "heat, however, was all from one side-SuperviSor Proebstel, who led the fight for Mesmer & Rice (concrete), aided by Consulting Engineer Hunter.
 The argument started soon after o'clock, when Commissioner Bridge asked that the joint meeting hear Con- sulting Engineer Louis A. Hicks, who had been employed by the advisory committee to examine into the two pending bids.
 MT. Hicks read an elaborate report and concluded with the recommenda- tion that the ''Warrenite" road would be the cheaper and the better road, going into every detail of the various items of cost and proving to the al most unanimous satisfaction of the joint meeting that 'Warrenite" is by far the better road.
 His report was heartily recommend ed by the advisory committee, con- sisting of Judge Thacker, MT. John son and MT Bridge.

that ultimately the state must assume control of and regulate irrigation and reclamation projects. Private devel- opment, he said, had reached it's eli max.
 One difficulty might be met, said c. E. Grunskey, an engineer of San Francisco, if the state would back the irrigation district bonds.
 AS means of better administration he suggested the consolidation of the state board of reclamation, the state water commission and the state board of conservation into a newly created state board of public works He sug- gested the accomplishment Of this by a constitutional amendment.

Germany Pu,,;shes
Socialist Leader By
Sending Hin, to War

Berlin, via London, March 20
DR. Karl Liebknecht, socialist MEM
ber of the reichstag, has been mus
tered into the army as q member OF
landstrum regiment and assigned
to service in Alsace.
The Copenhagen Politiken printed
q story Monday to the effect that
Dr. Liebknecht had been ordered
to place himself at the disposal Of
the German military authorities.
This action is supposed to have
been due to his action in voting
against the adoption Of the budget.
The Politiken stated that DR.. Lieb-
knecht was directed to consider
himself under the military law and
that he was prohibited from writ
ing articles or attending political
meetings except those Of the reich
ag and the landtag.
Berlin dispatches today said the
socialist party in the reichstag had
given out declaration severely de-
nouncing the "breech of discipline"
committed by DIR. Liebknecht and
his colleague, HERE Kuehle, in vot-
ing against the adoption of the
budget.
DR. Liebknecht is perhaps the
most widely known socialist in
Germany. He has protested vigor-
ously against the war and was re-
puted to be the leader of a secret
German peace movement. In jan
uary he pleaded with the news
papers and labor party to aid in
ending the war.
A recent speech in the Prussian
diet brought protests from other
parties.

COAL RATES ARE COMPARED.
Great Lakes Traffic Responsible Fo
Raj Reflections.

Great Lakes Traffic Responsible For
4 Rail- Rsd,etions. s
Chicago, March 25.-Coal rates from
the eastern field shipped west by the
great lakes were compared by rates by
rail at the interstate commerce hear
ing today.
+. B. Townsend, traffic manager of
the Minneapolis & st. Louis railway,
testified that competition caused by the
lake movement had been SO keen in
recent years, that the rates had been
SO reduced as to- be unremunerative.
His testimony dealt with coal rate adj
justment from Illinois and Indiana
mines to destinations in Iowa. Mime
sofa and South Dakota.
"Since 1901,' said Mr. Townsend,
there has been gradual reduction in
western coal rates. The proposed ad-
vance of 10 cents ton would not re-
store the rates to their former basis.
For instances the rate from Peoria to
Hanley Falls, Mimi, in 1910 was 50 a
ton. In 1906 it declined to $3.50 and
has remained there since. Thus, the
proposed advance would still be 10
cents under the rate of 1901"
The present adjustment to eastern
Iowa and southern Minnesota was
made at the desire of Illinois mines to
meet competition to the Twin Cities
with the lake traffic.
