Paul and John Helgeth were
using the grader on our streets,
Monday, which put them in fine
shape.
A. G. Cornforth was using a
drag, which consisted of harrow
turned upside down, on the high
way between his ranch and town,
and that strip of road was in good
shape for travel before the snow
storm.
If the people living on the roads
that were graded up last year
would get out before the ground
gets too dry and hard and drag
in front of their property, some
benefit would be realized from the
money that was spent by our
county commissioners, but if
nothing is done it will not be long
until those roads are in as bad
shape as they were before being
graded. This is not the duty of
one or two, but should be the con-
cern of all who live along those
thoroughfares.
Our county commissioners can
not be expected to be spending
money in grading up the roads if
the individual property owners
are not willing to donate a little
of their time in keeping them in
shape for travel.

JAP RANCHER IS
STRUCK BY TRAIN

A Japanese rancher whose name has
not been learned narrowly escaped
death yesterday afternoon when the
vehicle in which he was riding was
struck by a southbound Southern Pa
cific train. The accident occurred just
south of Brawley.
Due to limited vocabulary and
fright induced by his narrow escape
from death, the Jap was unable to
give a lucid account of the accident.
Whether he was unaware of the
proximity of the approaching train or
whether he miscalculated the time
necessary to cross the tracks, is not
known. The road crosses the South
ern pacific tracks diagonally and just
at the time the Jap in his wagon
reached the center of the tracks, the
train bore down upon him, crashing
the wagon into small pieces and hurl-
ing the occupant to the earth. The
horse was almost instantly killed, ac-
cording to reports.
So far as is known, the man was
not seriously injured.

EXPOSlTIONS TO
HAVE NO EFFECT ON RATES

The management Of the Hotel Clark
of Los Angeles has announced that
its regular tariff will remain in eff
feet throughout 1915. The Clark is
one of the largest European plan no
tells in California and is said to be
the only one having a private bath
for each of the 555 guest rooms.
When F. M. Dimmick, the we'll
known hotel man, opened the Hotel
Clark, he had no idea the hostelry
would prove to be one of the most
popular on the coast within less than
a years time. This marvellous record
has occasioned considerable comment
among hotel men. From the very be-
ginning the Clark has met with sue
cess and is now familiar to thousands
of prominent travellers all over the
country. The Clark is delightfully."-
different from the ordinary hotel Not
withstanding its great size, there pre-
walls an inviting and charming at
iioophSiS anu lilt HIS
made it a part of the service to full
fill every possible need and require
ment of each patron. The appoint
ments are beautiful and homelike and
the hotel is situated in an ideal part
of Los Angeles, near Central Park
and close to everything, yet sufficient
ly removed from noise and other dis
turbances.
The Clark will be the center of the
leading conventions held in Los An
geles this summer and over 10000 res
ervations have already been received
from different parts of the United
States, and in nearly every instance
the Clark is the official Headquarters.
However, this large number of sum
mer reservations will not overcrowd
the hotel, for it has capacity for
over 1000 guests. From present in
dications Manager Dimmick antici-
pates very heavy traffic to Los An
geles from Arizona points this sum-
mer and fall.
An attractive folder has been pre-
pared by the management and will
be mailed to anyone requesting same.
