From the army and navy the civilian

protect the hard-worklng army and

minister at the convention made the
startling statement that in the United
States Navy there were SO, 900 men with
little or no realization Of religion. With
quiet. ready faith Mrs. Ellis asked that
way might be shown by which she
could reach these forgotten men. True
inspiration seemed to be in the thought
that came suggesting provision of
mothers.
Mrs. Ellis then went to work in
earnest. She communicated with Secre-
tary Daniels in regard to her UNDER
taking. She told him that it was her
sincere desire to help and cheer these
orphaned lads in the service of Uncle
Sam. She quoted certain facts and fig

asked for some practical Information.
She said that she understood that each

 WORKMAN RELIEF COMMISSION

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, July IA The Workmen's Relief Commission, appointed by Governor Yager to car ry out the provisions of the work mems compensation law has issued schedules of rates which went into effect on July 1.
 Many employers, particularly the propretors of sugar centrals, however consider the rates applicable to their employees too high and have signi fled their intention of exercising their option of rejecting insurance under the law, taking their chances of set ting injury damage claims either n or out of court.
 The rates provided by the Commis- sion run from a fraction of one per cent to four per cent for the more hazardous occupations.
 The new law had been pending for more than five years and during pre- vious sessions was vigorously oppos- ed by the employers. Its passage is considered a distinct victory for the labor element of the island and is looked upon as one of the most con structive pieces of legislation since American occupation.

During the moving period for the past two weeks the uncertainties has made it difficult to issue even small sheet and at the new Examiner plant dur ing the past several days the gas has failed us about one-fourth of every day and the power another fourth, which cuts an eight-hour day in two.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
 ENDORSES COUNTY FAIR
By B. F. FLY.

The proposed Yuma County Fair took long step in thee deriction of success yesterday afternoon when the Board of Directors of the Yuma Coun- ty Commercial Club enthusiastically indorsed it and pledged the clubs hear ty cooperation.
 An executive committee of seven was appointed by PreisneedtTAO was appointed by President Ming to arrange all detals, such as list of prizes, date for hoding the fair, seect a suitable place for the live stock ex- hibit, and the selection of nadyisory committee to work in conjunction with Fair Commissioner Nelse Lind. It was the general consensus of opinion among the Board of Directors that practically every merchant in Yuma would be more than willing to offer special prizes; which will bee in addi- tion to the cash prizes that will be of fered on beehalf of the county.
 The Sanquinettie building, corner Second and Main streets, will be used for the display of all farm, garden and orchard exhibits There will also be exhibits of everything made or grown in Yuma county and on Yuma project, the central idea being to demonstrate that this immediate section produces the finest of everything that can be found in the state of Arizona, and California thrown in for good measure.
 A meeting will be held some after noon of this week between the Fair Commissioner and the Executive Com mittee, at which the superintendent of the Government Experimental Farm of Bard and the superintendent of the State Experimental Farm will be re- quested to attend. A comprehensive plan of action win then be outlined, and from that time until the gates Of

By B. F. FLY.

It was one eeweek az last Saturday
 that the Imperia Valley canal over
 flowed it's banks, washed away two railroad bridges and covered many
 hundreds of acres of land with water so impregnated with silt that it re- sembled nothing but submerged mud.
 Not a train has moved aver the Mexi- can branch of the Southern Pacific since that time, and the daily train has also been abandoned to Potholes during the same time. And just in tn the face of these facts the Los An geles papers declare that the break in the canal did no damage whatever Had the same thing occurred on the Yuma canal the fact would have been printed on the first page of the Los Angees papers and the world would have been told that Yuma had sucered a great disaster. But that's thee way the Los Angeles papers alwaays treat Yuma, and it's the way they misrep- resent the facts about the great I'm perial Valley.
 My information is that Imperial Val ley is worse if right now than ever before in it's entire history. It is an acknowledged fact that thee water shortage of last year caaused a crop damage of upwards of six hundred thousand dollars Thus far this year, caused by this break in the main canal, the damage is already estimated at over million dollars, and yet the season of water shortage" has but just begun.
 The Imperial Press boldly states that the Imperial Canal Company has already defaulted in it's interests on it's bonds, amounting to $100,000, and warns it's people against the bull headed extravaganza of those who have the cana system in charge. It also calls attention to the fact that the so-called Volcano lake canal was to have been constructed for the sum 1f $12O,00O, whereas, it has already cost $200,00O and will not be finished 10 ranother month or more, though it

l was to have been cmpleted by the.
 middle of July.
 Whe nthe big break occurreda week
 ago last Saturday an attempt waas
 made to close the break without shut ! ting down the head-gates at Hanlon l heading, but it was found this could not be done. But the very moment the gates were even partially closed down the intake canal filed so rapidly with silt and sand that this at once added new danger to the situation. The river channel in front of the new Vol cano lake intake is sitting up so badly that it is highly probable water can not be obtained after the new canal shall have been completed, and in that event practically all the west side'' lands will have to go without water for the balance of the season, which will mean oss to the Mexican side of the system of several millions of dollars.
 In the meantime the "silt problem is being studiousy studied by former "Chief Engineer Allison in his hand somely equipped Los Angeles office, where he has set himself up as "con- sulting engineer" with branch ogice at Calexico Chief Engineer Rock wood is being severely criticised by all of MT. Allisons friends, with the idea that this criticism will oust MT. Redwood and reinstate MT. Allison. But it will have no such effect The people over in Imperial Valley are slowly awakening to the fact that MT. Allison controlled the situation for seven years, during which time he did absolutely nothing looking towards a solution Of theN"silt problem" Any one with a grain of sense knows that there is but one solution to the prob lem, and that is for the Imperial lrrl- gation Company to "hook on' to Yuma project and get it's water from our great Laguna dam, where the settling basin" solves the "silt problem" in the only manner it can be solved. This will require an expenditure of several million dollars, but this mney will have.
