SEEING CALIFORNIA BY AUTO

Keen interest is being taken in estimating prOs pective auto travel the Lincoln highway from points along the route to the two expostOns in California. The Lincoln Highway association makes what it terms most conservative estimate and places the number of that will travel the highway at 5000. The Panama Pacific exposi- ton officials claim justification for greater optimism and they predict that 25,OO0 will come to Cali fornia via the recently completed highway.
 Both the exposition officials and the highway association based their estimates much the same facts, namely the number of used in certain sections of the country: the prosperity of those tons; their nearness and accessibility to the Lincoln highway the number of inquiries received on the subject by the foremost touring bureaus and the proporonate increase of long distance 1914 over 1913 shown by the reports of main travelled routes.
 The results arrived at, as the Lincoln highway bulletin reports, amazing. Even the most con- servative figures staggering On the 5000 car basis with the average of three persons to the it is shown that 15,00O persons coming to the fair via the auto highway route. Of this number 5000 cars, 5000 people, coming from points east of the Ohio river 1000 cars. 2OO0 people coming from between the Ohio and the Missouri rivers and 1000, 5000 people. from west of the Mississippi, including the in California

at Vladiyostok, Siberia gives the information in a report published in Daily Commerce Reports that Russia is preparing to export through the Siberian port. 3560O0 tons wheat from the Ornsk, Siberia, district where the crop last very large To facilitate the shipment work begun in February temporary warehouses for handling 100000 tons Of grain month; and the contracts called for the completion of the structures with temporary moorngs, within forty-fve days.
 The consul that a large number of ships carry the grain arrived at Vladivostok be- fore February goth, the date his report, having passed through the Panama canal No American vessels had arrived that time. It estimated that fifty vessels would be required to transport the grain
 The report is interesting in more ways than as it relates to the partial opening up of the kets of the world to Russian grain independent of conditions at the Dardanelies It pointed by the consul that offering of grain for ship Vladivostok would result in many vessels going to that port empty with light cargo, and immense number of empty freight cars which bad been almost unobtainable, going from Vladivo stOk to Western Siberia European Russia, furnishing good facilities for the importation of American goods by way of Vladvostok.
 The consuls suggestion is of local interest, in asmnch large shipment of heavy freight for Russia had been ordered, be delivered Arch angel. When that port closed the order countermanded for the reason that transportation cost by way of Nadivstok prohibitory. A: that tme had Vladivostck sonable, freight cars were obtanabe at that port
 With vessels in the grain trade going to Vladi- Nostok through the Panama canal in ballast and Russian order could have been filled satisfactory freight leaving that port empty. the Important Russian order could have been filled satisfactorily.

INDUSTRIOUS ALASKAN INDIANS

Scattered along the Yukon and Panama rivers in Alaska there upward of 5000 Indians From Eagle down to Nusto there is practically differ ence in their and habits. The condition of the people and their village found at one place is typical of nearly all the rest. All these natives are and have been self supporting In the winter they go back into the hills for game. They eat the and sell the furs and some of them realize goodly sun, frGm their winters work. In the the Indians scatter along the river in small camps to catch the fish (mestly of the salmon var iety) that up the rivers. Their catches are cured by smoke and air process and then packed in bales. The king salmon forms important part of their food supply while the dog salmon is kept for their own animals sold to the whites. All winter travel is by dog team, and dried fish is the principal canine diet Where Indian makes a good catch of fish and has more than is needed for his dogs he find ready market for his surplus stock at average price of 20 or 25 cents a pound.
 Between hunting and fishing these Indians make comfortable living and it would be unwise take any steps that would destroy their self-re lance It is of the utmost importance. however to that they protected in their fishing and hurting rights and given at least "an even break M.

Another Peace Sian

There other signs of an early peace in Europe A. Philadelphia syndicate has taken up sl0 O0O 900 of the German treasury notes not for speculation but for investment. The syndicate took all was offered. the total loan having been largely over subscribed in Germany.
 The purchasers of these new securities must have had pretty definite either that the war was near it's end they must have felt con- fidence that Germany would ultimately prevail But .taid Philadelphia bankers not given to acting upon conviction confidence but upon definite in- formation There could of course be no such thing as definite information regarding the outcome Of war fought to it's finish.
 Philadelphia is proverbially slow. Anyway, it is a New York proverb that the City of Brotherly Love is slow and sleepy, but in this case the tip which created the Philadelphia demand for the German not received by the New York bankers until the supply had been exhausted The confidence of the Phladelphans in German securi- lies is shown in the fact that they brought 99ss, leaving interest gate of about SIS per cent

GERMAN SUBMARINE
(Continued from Page One)

British steamship Aguila, sunk by the German submarine UPS. lost their lives The survivors, who arrived here say the Aguila was sunk at a point fifty miles southeast of Smalls group of rocks southeast of the coast of Ireland. The crew was given four minutes in which to leave the ship but the surviv- DTS say the steamer was fired upon while the men were getting into the boats
 The chief engineer and two others were killed by shell fire and the lives of ten other men were lost. The captain of the submarine hailed another steam CT, the Otille and told her captain of the sinking of the Aguila. The Otille went to the rescue. One member of the crew rescued said the boat in which were ten sailors, women passengers and the stewardess was fired on and pas senger killed while the stewardess was thrown into the water and drowned. Finally the boat capsized and sank.

Black Sea Fleet Active

LONDON, March 29.-Outside of the sinking of the steamers, the only event of importance in the news which was received during the day were the re- newal of the activity of the Russian Black Sea fleet which bOmbarded the forts of the Bosphorus and the ah- nouncement from Petrograd that the Baltic fleet had been reinforced by modern fighting units presumably the drea dnaughts built in the Russian yards.
 Battles for the Carpathian passes are proceeding with ever increasing violence. The Russians are in con- plete possession of the western passes and are advancing into Hungary, but the eastern passes remain in the hands of the Germanic allies who. however, are being strongly pressed by their re- inforced adversares.

Politics or Business

One argument by those who are advocating an amendment to the charter leaving the city manager removable the will of the commission with or without is that that is privilege which every employer should The proponents of the amendments say to the merchant or other em- ployer: You certainly would want tke power remove employe at your pleasure without going into court" The very broad minded up date employer would consider this much of argu- ruent. certainly not appeal to the great mass of citizens who believe that empoye should be dismissed without Tine tendency of the modern employer is not to fire" his employees, ic ie can possibly make them fit into the proper inches Fewer men are being discharged for in- competency than in any previous time of the country's commercial and industrial history.
 in any event, the relation of the city man. ager to the commission is in way analogous to inc relation of clerk, bookkeeper, farm hand CT mechanic his employer. It is similar to that of a general manager of railroad or a mine or q great department the board of directors of .,ucn an establishment Boards of directors stated or called meetings may discharge a general man. ager for ineompetency any other cause unless, he is protected by But il has seldom hap pened that q general manager has been dis charged, because it doesn't pay and boards of di-
 
 may not like the personality of general manager but if he makes good they prefer him to more lleable but less efficient
 Boards of directors not swayed by politics The main thing is profit Commissioners are, as we have seen, susceptible political or factiona influences and they lose sight of the real object of government to produce dividends in the shape of efficiency and economy
 Therefore commissioners should have less con ro their general manager than boards of di- rectors should have theirs.
 If this amendment is adopted every municipal election in Phoenix would have Overshadowins issue-the city managership Every faction if not every political party would be working for that alone The city manager would have no assurance of his place, a most beyond the year between mum .cipal elections. The offices within the control of the commission and of the city manager with the consent the commission, would be used fer the payment factional political debts Eff fciency wuld longer be recommendation for offce Only political activity and political efficiency would be considered.
 If this amendment is adopted the city is sure he thrown back into the dirty pool of poli- ties deeper than it sank in the old days. The cost to the city would be greater because tine patronage is greater

 TOWARD PLAYGROUND
City Commission Lends It's Supper.
 to Movement

It was not realized how rich Phoenix is in playground possibilities until l.. H.

There are twenty-One of them altogether, nineteen within the city limits making more than thirty two acres. Outside are the Monihon and Christy tracts of more than twen- weight acres, total of more than sixty one acres.
 These spaces include the grounds of the school buildings. the city and coun- ty plazas and the school sites which have not yet been occupied. The school grounds each cover from one to four blocks.

ports of the intended evacuation had reached the department.
 British officials, it is understood, are concerned over the reports that the Carranza garrison at TampicO might withdraw, burning the town and pos sibly the oil wells in the district in their retreat to Vera Cruz. At the sug- gestion of Major General Funston, commanding the American forces on the border, Acting Secretary Brecken ridge of the war department, ordered three batteries of the Third field artil- lery at Brownsville as a demonstration to the Mexican forces contending for the possession of MatamOras that American lives and property must not be endangered by firing across the line. regiment of infantry was also ord cred held in readiness in Texas City to be moved to Brownsville at short notice if needed
 The Tampico oil supply is understood to be of vital importance for British naval operations. British as well as American capital is invested in the wells. The state department had no information of these reports. During the day navy department messages re- ported quiet along the west coast of Mexico except near Colima. state of Jalisco. Fighting was reported Satur- day fifteen miles from that place.
 Commander Williams of the cruiser Cleveland, on the west coast, reported that CarranZa has ordered his military chiefs in that region to have no corre- spondence with diplomatic agents of a foreign government. It was announced at the state department that the Amer ican owned steamer Benito Juarez, held at Acapulco by Mexican officials, did not carry arms and ammunition as it was alleged was one reason for her de- tention. The Juarez was granted a provisional American registry recently. her previous Mexican registry was not surrendered.
 Precautions were deemed neces- sary, although assurances had becn given by both CarranZa and Villa agencies here that no shooting across the line would be permitted

good feature for the Sacramento Valley dis play the California building at the Panama Pacific Exposition would be a number of camellia ir bloom
 The trees could be taken bodily from Sacrament gardens with sufficient earth about the well boxed, to maintain succession of flowers for weeks to come.
 There could be nothing more striking for visitors from the East for that matter, any part of the world.
 Camellia 'trees, blooming in the month of March, from open unprotected gardens would be the finest possible demonstration of the mildness of the win ter climate of the Sacramento valley well ob jects of great beauty and horticultural interest.
 Eastern people and Europeans generally know the camela only a hOthOuse flower, growing upon small bush under the most artificial cond- tiOns
 To scores. even hundreds of such flowers blooming . single tree, ten feet in height would be to such visitors a most marvellous spectacle-a thing to wonder over write about and never be forgotten.
 Such display of camellia trees would cost a little money, but it would be money well spent and it is entirely feasibe.-Sacramento Bee.

 The Villa agency here received a dispatch from Brownsville saying that only small part of the Villa army operating against Matamoras took part in Saturdays action an6 giving the losses on that day 300 killed and wounded.
 Although the confidential agency was informed that the Carranzista force defending Matamoras has de liberately entrenched itself in such a position as to compel attacking convention troops to fire in the di- rection of Brownsville" The state ment added. assurance is given that the fire of the convention army will be directed with a careful consid eration of the lives and property on the American side.
