Truck Men Are Planning
Big Local Freight Project

zona railroad is conjcctural, as it
will bring to the valley and to San
Diego great part of the benefit
which was expected to come only with
the completion Of the railroad.
The extent to which the truck serv-
ice will reach will depend on the con-
sumptive demand for valley products
in San Diego and on the jobbing
houses of that city. Should steam
ship line entering that city be pre-
pared to carry garden stuff under re-
fligeration via Panama to the East.
or should San Diego build up large
canning houses to ship the product
to the East, there is practically no
limit to the quantity Of, the output Of
the valley, and the freight business
under these conditions would rise to
great magnitude.
At any rate, the fact must be rec
ognized that the time is now close at
hand when this freight activity, long
dreamed Of, is to become a reality.

The crusade against lawless char
ucters on the East Side was given its
first impetus when City Marshal Me-
Fadden, Sheriff Meadows and Deputy
Kemp raided notorious house at l
o'clock this morning. E. l.. Boyd, c.
Doan and Ed Hoskins were arrest
ed, charged with conducting the place.
For weeks McFadden and his depu-
ties have been working on the case
and last night saw the completion OF
the gathering of sufficient evidence
and plans for the raid were hastily
made by the officers. At an early
hour this morning the three men sta
toned themselves at the entrances to
the house and at given signal forced
the doors and rushed into an inner
room in time to see the three Occu-
pants of the place making frantic ef
forts to conceal quantity of booze.
After a thorough search the officers
succeeded in unearthing three cases of
whisky, number of gambling de-
vices, besides numerous decks of
cards and several sets of dice. In

that is already in sight and which
will be open to all comers is assur-
ance that rates will be lower than
present freight rates from Los Ange-
les.
In addition to this, there is the prac-
tical certainty that the highway will
be extended from Ell Centre to Yuma
by the state, and when that is done,
there can be no doubt that a large
amount of freight will pass through
this city from the irrigated area on
both sides of the Colorado under the
Yuma irrigation system.

tions of the country that where there
are good roads freight can be moved
by auto trucks more cheaply than by

For Quick Action.

Attorney r. ID. McPherrin was over
from Imperial to urge on the board
that the policy of the board be for
the consummation of the purchase deal
lat once, bringing into the question no
feature that will tend to promote
further litigation.
He stated that all those in Imperial
who have been opposed to the district
up to the issuance of the bonds are
now taking the position that the ques
ton having been decided in favor Of
the purchase of the system, there
should be nothing to cause further de
lay.
There was considerable argument
around the directors table, especially
between Attorneys McPherrin and
Conkling, as to the best procedure IN
details of the contract, the directors
all joining in expressing desire for
earliest possible contamination of the
purchase.
Up to o'clock this afternoon the
board had not taken action in the mat
ter of selecting delegates to the Wash
ington conference, and it looked as
though several hours more would be
required to finish the business in hand.

AVIATORS IN TEST
FOR MACKAY TROPHY

San Diego, Nov. 30.--Nine qualified
military aviators will compete in the
competition for the Mackay trophy
December 18, according to an official
announcement made this morning by
Captain Arthur S. Cowan, command
ing the First aero corps, United States
army. Those who will compete are
Captains Hollis L. Muller, holder of
the American altitude records; Town
send F. Dodd, Harold Geiger and Ben
jamin Foulois, and First Lieutenants
Joseph Carberry, f. F. Taliaferro, De
Witt Milling, ]. G. Morrow and II.
Chapman.
Lieutenant Carberry is the present
holder Of the Mackay trophy. He won
it last year after one of the most
spectacular cross country flights ever
made by an army biplane.
At least 1900 troops will partici-
pate in the competition and it will
be the task of the competing birdmen
to leave North Island, locate and draw
8 diagram Of the marching troops and
return with the information. At no
time must the aeroplane be lower than
5000 feet, under penalty of being dis
qualified The competition will be
staged under practically the same con
ditions as now face the aviators OF
Germany, France, England and Bel
gium in scout work. Captain Cowal
and other army officials believe tn It
it will be the most interesting, instruc-
tive and spectacular aerial compcti-
ton ever held in America.

Now that the day is in sight for
the completion of the State Highway
from the valley to San Diego, there
are those who are planning large
movement of freight over the noun
tains by auto trucks, and the indica-
ton is that this route will become
one of the greatest in the country
for freight movement in this way.
A force of men is now at work on
the road from Coyote Wells to Mey-
ers Canyon and soon there will be
another force at work between Dixie
land and Coyote Wells, with assurance
that from Dixieland to the mountains
there will, be a paved highway by
June 1, while between that point and
San Diego there is good highway
paved in part, and, beginning with
early summer, this will be one of the
greatest of roads from the valley to
the coast city.
With the completion of this high
way freight can be taken either way

New Attempt Checked.

Paris, Nov. 3O.-The initial effort
Of the Kaiser's new attempt to gut
through to Calais past Arras, where
a newly concentrated army of 100000
has been assembled, was defeated, ac-
cording to the official statement of the
French war office Sunday.
Advance guards of the great army
whose slogan is "On to Calais!" were
met and driven back north of Arras.
Three regiments of the German adj
vance body were thrown out to draw
the fire of the French and British in
the trenches. But the bait was taken
with such energy that the German
troops were hurled back with severe
losses.
Following the administering of this
repulse the allies leaped to the coun
ter offensive and in their turn hurled
troops forward in several different
directions, effectively disorganizing
the offensive program Of the enemy.
The engagement reported today is
but preliminary to what promises to
be one of the most important of the
major operations of the war.
Opposing the army of 100000 Ger
mans General Joffre has assembled
several massed corps on the advanced
line of defense between La Bassee and
Arras. The allies occupy strongly
fortified defensive positions along the
banks of the La Bassee canal, the
most important strategic positions in
this field.
In the rear there are held in re
serve some 25O,OOO men ready to be
hurled forward to reinforce any part
of the line which proves to be too
heavily assailed by the Germans.
In carrying the fighting to Arras
the Germans have passed to the south
ward of Armentieres and have drawn
heavily in big guns and in men from
the line facing the allies on the User.
Apparently the German plan is to
secure control of the canal routes now
occupied by the allies. These are Of
the greatest strategic Importance, as
they lead direct to the seacoast.
The attacking of the German front
in Flanders has already cost the Ger
mans dear, for, according to the war
office statement, the allies infantry
yesterday captured several important
supporting positions to the north and
to the south of Ypres, which previously
were held by the Germans.

WARSHIPS VISIT
CALIFORNIA GULF

San Diego, Nov. 30.-Three three
stack cruisers, steaming in fleet for
nation and with all lights doused,
were sighted off the mouth of the Gulf
of 1 California last Thursday evening
by Captain j. l.. Blair Of the steamer
Carolyn.
"It was about Z o'clock in the even
ing when the first mate, who was on
the bridge with me, called my atten-
tion to the warships," said Captain
Blair. "The sea was hazy and we
almost ran into each other before we
were aware of each others presence.
Although it was well after dark, not
light was to be seen on any of the
warships. We passed so close that
the three tunnels of the ships stood
out distinctly. We were not hailed.
The fleet was heading in a southwest
erly direction and steaming at low
speed.
Captain Blair said that owing to the
darkness and the veil of mist that
screened the warships he was unable
to ascertain whether they were Jap
anese, British or German. 1t is be-
lieved that the vessels were the Jap
anese cruiser Idzuma, the British
cruiser Newcastle and possibly the
Japanese cruiser Hizen. The fact that
they were steaming south is taken to
indicate by local naval officers that
the squadron is bent on joining the
British squadron now en- route from
England and that second clash with
the German fleet under Admiral Won
Spec is imminent.
Captain Blair reported that the
three ships which he sighted were
stripped of all unnecessary top ham,
per, that both the forward and after
rails of each vessel had been unshipped
, and that they evidently were prepared
to go into battle without delay.

COMMISSION ASKED
TO SETTLE STRIKE

Washington, Nov. 3O.-President
Wilson last night appointed Seth Low
of New York, Charles w. Mills Of

"instrumentality of peace" to settle
the Colorado miners strike.
The president in statement indi
Gated that he will not withdraw .the
federal troops from the strike region
although request that some of the
soldiers at least be withdrawn was
made to him yesterday by Governoi
Ammons of Colorado.
The presidents statement reveals
that the miners have been ready tx
listen to his plan of settlement anc
that the burden of accepting or reject
ing his "instrumentality of peace" now
rests on the operators of the mines
In his statement the president says:
'"The strike of the miners in Colo
RADIO, which has now lasted for /:
months, has attracted the attention o1
the whole country and has been ac
companied by many distressing ane
tragical circumstances. The media
tion of the government of the United
States was offered early in the strug

were unwilling to avail themselves OF
it or to act upon the suggestions made
in the interest of peace of representa-
tives of the department of labor au
thorized by statute to serve in sucs
cases. 1t became necessary to sent
federal troops to the district affected
by the trike in order to preserve th'
