0|L RATE CASE bOBS UP AGAIN F0R l. [. t. Old.time Action Involving Charges on Fuel oil Shipments Will Come
 Before Interstate Com
 mission.

The, state corporation commission yesterday received notice that the h. :erstate Commerce Commission will send representative to. this city on March 22 to conduct a hearing of the case which has been hanging fire be- fore the state commission for several years, regarding the proposed reduc- ton on the rates for shipment of crude and refined oil from the Cali Gornia fields into this state.
 The action was started about four years ago, at which time the Pacific Creamery company of Tempe. filed a petition with the corporation commits sion asking that the rate on the fuel oil be reduced so as to be more equit able as compared with the rates on similar shipments to other states. The creamery alleged that the rates were too high on both the crude and the refined oil The commission, after hearing the case, ordered a reduction on hauiage charges amounting to about 15 per cent on the crude pro- duct and about 25 to 40 per cent on the refined oil
 The railroads carried the case to the Interstate body, the latter upholding the decision of the state commission. The roads later secured a re-hearing of the action, and the state commis- sion again ordered the reduction, ana the Interstate once more upheld their ruling
 By some means, the railroads have again secured another hearing of the case, and the matter will come up in this city on March 22 before Exam iner Watkins, who wilt hold court in the federal building
 On March g, the representative of the Interstate will hear the case of J. J. Tatum vs. the Santa F'e rail- road. The case involves the rate on shipments of cotton seed meal be- tween the points of Fort Worth. Tex and Winslow.
 On the same day. MT. Watkins will hear the case of the Imperial Valley Oil X Cotton Co. vS. a number of the roads operating in the state, the com plaint being that the rates for tho shipments on cotton bale ties are too high.

There was further activity in American Zinc and Butte and Superior, while Tobac- eos, Fertilizers, Mercantile Marine pre- ferred and some of the war issues were higher ty 1 to 3 points.
 A few special shares including American Coal products and Pitts burgh Coal common and preferred rose 1 tc points and Bethlehem Steel re- sponded to the companys policy of ex- pansion by an advance of 10A to l79ha.
 Rails and motors were under moder- ate restraint but other leaders notably United states Steel, held around the previous days final figures.
 some of the early gains underwent substantial reductions in the late deal ings, when active selling of coppers and Crucible Steel caused recessions elsewhere.
 Total sales of stock amounted to 2620O0 shares.
 Sudden strength of sterling exchange was attl ibuted to the recent purchase of S23,000,O0 of United States Steel bonds, which probably called for the purchase of bills on London at that amount. Francs also hardened but Italian exchange weakened. Mercan- tile agencies reported unparalleled conditions" in various lines of com merce here and at other centers of business distribution.

After the order had been issued for the final decree Charles w. Clark md Emma Clark of Paradise Valley. decided that they did not want a divorce. They were married yester- daT morning by Judge De Souza.
 Their suit for divorce which was heard before Judge Lyman January 28, was notable for the number of complaints they had against one an other. The names that were called during that hearing were neither ele- gant nor refined. The Clarks first marriage took place May 2S. 1914 October of the following year the trouble began and continued hot and heavy until the thought of final sepa- ration smoothed away all difficulties.

defenses at Verdun is all that it was
expected to be, and it was expected
to be tho most desperate drive of the
entire war. AS has been said in these
dispatches before, Germany knows
that it is now or never. 1t is to be
success at this time or the Central
powers are gradually to sink back
into hopeless defensive fight.
Preparatory to this greatest of bat
ties, Germany had massed on 25-
mile line 280,O0O men and hundreds
of its greatest guns. Knowing what
was coming, France had brought for
ward great forces of men and war ma
chinery, and the clash that has followed
has been the nearest earthly approach
to hell.
1t is too early yet to tell what the
result will be, and the tens of thou
sands of mangled humans still are un-
counted. That the German losses are
far the heavier is probable from the
fact that they are fighting on the Of
fensive. And the Germans can least
afford the terrible loss Of life, for the
Central powers now are greatly out
numbered.
Even if the almost impossible should
happen that Germany should break
through the French and English lines
and capture Paris or Calais, it would
make it uncomfortable for the Allies
but it would not be decisive for the
war.
If she fails to break through it is
expected that this will be about the
last great offensive by the Central
powers.
The world now has it's ear to the
ground, listening for signal that
counter offensives are being prepared
on other fronts by the Allies, to force
Germany to weaken her efforts in the
west.
According to information received
from Berlin, Emperor William, in
headquarters now near Verdun, is per-
sonally directing the tremendous drive
toward Paris.
1t is reported the emperor is more
energetic than ever, making daily
speeches to the troops and encourag-
ing the soldiers not to yield. His ma

Irrigation District To Ask
Mutual Companies for Aid

The Irrigation District will soon
pass up to the mutual companies the
question of finances and ask for CO.
operation in working out the problem
that is presented.
Of the 100000 that was borrowed
from Los Angeles banks, 100000 is
still unpaid, and $4,000 interest is to
be paid on the bonds July 1.
The district is Low taking in hand
work on the main canal, which will
bring the total expenditure of the dis
trict to about $4,000 day.
The mutual water companies have
paid water rates in advance to May
21, but will be asked to make addi-
tional payments to aid the district in
solving the problem.
That work on the canal should be
done at once all the companies and
individuals recognize, and it is be-
lieved the companies will lend the as
sistance that will be asked of them,
as it will give assurance of an ample
supply of water during the coming
season.
No call has been issued for con-
ference with the mutual companies,
but it is understood they will be

way 10 Calexico last Sunday was
brought acWss the line last night un-
der the old rates.
The Calexico Chronicle says: "The
governor informed A. F. Andrade that
he wished in every possible way to ia
vor the cotton growers and the busi-
ness interests of Calexico. He said
it was his belief that the de facto gov
ernmeat of Mexico will order a con-
tinuance of the lower tariff as soon
as the facts are thoroughly under
stood
"The movement of cotton into Ca
leNico waSbrought to a standstill last
Sunday when an order was sent to
Governor Cantu by General Carranza
to Immediately discontinue the spe-
cial tariff and to make effective the
regular duty that has been collected
in other parts Of Mexico. This duty,
however, was so high as to have the
effect of an embargo being placed up
on cotton. Until yesterday no cottdh
twas hauled out of Mexico since Sun
day.
"While the establishment of the
old rate tariff on cotton may not be
permanent, cotton growers have hopes
that an immediate investigation will
be made by a commission from the de
facto government. The sending here
of such a commission was suggested
Wednesday in long message sent to
the MedRcan treasury department by
Governor Cantu.
"No word has been received here
from General Carranza, but this prob,
ably is due to the fact that messa ges
in some parts Of Mexico are transmit
ted with difficulty"

asked in few days to such confer
ence and that all the details of the
situation will be presented. The mu-
tual companies have generally had
an intination of the coming confer
ence, and the president of one of the
companies today stated to the
Press that his company in all
probability would do its full part,
realizing that the welfare of the COM
panies is tied up with that of the dis
trict, but that his company, in as
suming the financial duty, probably
would desire voice IN the dispoi-
tion Of the money to be advanced.
There is no question of the ability
of the mutual companies to take care
of the finances of the district, and
the whole problem will be handled sat-
isfactorily to everybody.
The expense which the district has
been called on to meet this year is
abnormal, owing to the money that
had been borrowed for river control
last year and to the need for enlarg-
ing the canal to meet the increase in
the water demand. There was also
big sum required to supplement the
bonds in completing the purchase.

settlement by the commission which

At the city election in Imperial
April 10 the question of license will
come up on direct vote, and the cam
paign will be a strenuous one, with
possibility that the town will return

Imperial was during it's early his
