Chicago Unprepared.
Chicago, Aug. ia general rail-
way strike will throw more than half
a million men out Of work here, ac-
cording to a conservative estimate
made today.
According to NJ. G. Bierd, president
Of the Chicago & Alton railroad, Chi
cago, the greatest railroad center of
the world, is unprepared for strike.
More than 10000 cars of freight pass
through Chicago daily, he estimated,
and the confusion should these cars
be left at standsti.l would affect the
entire nation. In addition to 100000
railway men who would have to walk
out if strike were ordered, 100000
other workers would be affected.
Chicago is the terminus for 80 rail
roads, having a total mileage of 91,-
627 miles, or more than 40 per cent
of the entire mileage Of the United
States. Fourteen hundred miles of
belt line encircle the city-one-third
Of the belt line mileage of the coun-
try. There are more than 100 freight
yards and 315 freight receiving sta
tons. The operation Of all Of these
would be paralyzed.
Children would be the first here
TO feel the effect Of a strike. More
than three.fourths Of the ice supply
and nine-tenths of the milk supply is
shipped here by railroad.
Bierd declared he did not believe
any arrangement would be made by
the government to take over the roads.

project it has never reached me-
Bierd believes that a settlement
will be reached through President

Allege Misrepresentation
They Dare Not Discuss

The Brawley News again quotes some one as saying
in effect that is simply awful the irrigation district
affairs being misrepresented. This speaker refers
especially to the new west side canal.
But while the News and other spokeslnen Of the dis
sct are continually alleging misrepresentation not
of them does dares to take up the definite statements
that are made and show inaccuracies
The Press has not been meay-mouthed 1t has al
legged that under the pretext of building emergency
temporary relief canal for the west side and under the
promise Of having it DONE July (which proposal the
Press indorsed-it actually built the largest permanent
canal in the valley to rrgate about 10000 acres of new
Mexican land and because of its size its completion
delayed forty days.
Is there allegation in the above that is misrepre
sentaon and why dare not the News and other district
spokesmen discuss these definite allegations?
Another assertion the Press has made is unwittngly
substantiated by the witness the News has summoned
This witness testfes that the water in Volcano Lake
rapidly with the rise of the river last week. This only
quick flow from the river to the lake.
Volcano Lake levee is the only barrier between the
river and the valley and in the opinion of the Press, the
opening of the canal through the evee tending to bring
the channel of the river the norhward is the greatest
engineering crime perpetrated in Southern Cafor
na not excepting the cutting of the bank of the river in
1904.
Why dare not the district organs discuss this ques
ton? Is it misrepresentation?
The Press has stated that by resolution the directors
Of the district have declared their intention to por
ton of the emergency protective land money to build the
west side canal through to Cudah check and that by
this process including the 10000 under the canal
far built total of than 100000 of Mexican
land will be brought under irrigation Is that msrepre
sentation?
The Press has said the district has not dared make
iannua financial statement of July l. Is that mis-
representation?

continually harp alleged misrepresentation" when
they dare not give their own version of the facts

over, improved, and maintained by the
state, 1OS miles.
On April Is, 1916, there was left
approximately $l,9OO,OOO of the orig
inal bond issue. This will be used to
complete the roads already under con-
tract and for the construction of few
short sections.
AS the work has progressed it has
become evident that the bonds voted
/ in 1910 would not be sufficient to COM
plete the system contemplated. The
legislature at its 1915 session became
convinced of this fact and provided
for bond issue Of $15,000,000 to be
voted upon at the election in Novem-
ber, 1916.
Of this proposed issue, $12,00O,00O
is intended to complete the highway
system of main trunk roads and coun-
ty seat laterals. The $3,00O,O0O will
be applied on county aid cooperative
basis in the building Of greatly need
ed cross state and other important
&C meeting roads.
The California state highway build
ing is administered by committee Of
the advisory board OF the department
If engineering composed Of Messrs.
Charles D. Blaney, chairman; Newell
z. Darlington and C. Frank Stern,
known as the California highway COM
mission. Austin B. Fletcher, highway
engineer, is the executive officer in
charge of the work.
California is fortunate in that her
system of state highways was begun
after the automobile traffic had shown
that fast moving traffic was most
important factor to be considered by
the road engineer. Her system Of
state highways is, therefore, speaking
in automobile terms, the very latest
test and most improved model. AS
compared with most of the states old
er in highway building, California has
today 1920" model of state high
ways while most other states are still
repairing their old 1880" or $1,000
models and are having all Of the heavy
upkeep that goes with o.d style roads
not suited to modern conditions.
California's modern road building
has in very large measure been pos
sible dut to the fact that Governor
Hiram Johnson's administration has
protected the highway commission
from any and all political influence
in the conduct of its. work and in the
selection Of it's employees. Road build
ers throughout the country can ap-
preciate what California has enjoyed
in having it's highway routing unaf-
fected by narrow sectional or political
influence and its employees chosen by
civil service after thorough examina-

CALIFORNIA SETS
PATTERN FOR u. s.

That California with her magnif-
cent highway system is model for
other states to follow, and is likely
to maintain this lead has been vividly
brought to light by researches con-
cerning the good roads of the coun-
try made in connection with National
Touring Week. The promoters of the
great national automobile outing, who
in their work had occasion to look
carefully into the good road system
found that when it came to road pre-
psredness, both in regard to what has
been made, and plans for increase of
mileage, California heads the list.
California State Highways.
In 1910 the people of California vot-
ed $1S,OOO,0OO for state highway

Says Indigestion Results From
an Excess Of Hydroehloric
Acid.

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather, ferments
the same as food left in the open air,
says a noted authority. He also
tells US that Indigestion is caused by
/ Hyper-acidity, meaning, there is an
excess Of hydrochloric acid in the
stomach which prevents complete di,
gestion and starts food fermentation.
Thus everything eaten sours in the
stomach much like garbage sours in
can, forming acrid fluids and gases
which initiate the stomach like a toy
balloon. Then We feel heavy, lumpy
misery in the chest, We belch up
gas, We eructate sour food or have
heartburn, flatulence. waterbrash or
nausea.
He tells US TO lay aside all digest
i've aids and instead, get from any
pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts
and take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast and drink
while II is effervescing and further.

While relief follows the first dose,

for stomach trouble with excellent re-

that all will do this, is pretty certain
as no extra charge is being made for
