IN MEMORIAM.

GAUSS-In memory of MRS. E..
C. GAUSS, who died one year ago
today January 10th, 1916
Cold as marble is her forehead,
Since the spirit took it's flight
Since the jewel from the casket;
Said to earth last good night.
Night to us, but day to her,
In that land where there is no night,
Goodbye, dear one, we will meet you,
And our stay here will not be long,
And in Heaven we hope. to greet you.
In the summer land of song.
These hands are motionless,
This life is hused. but the noble spirit
that influenced her, and from
the crowning glory of hel
character this still lives.
This shall resist the empire of decay,
. When time is Ger and words have
passed away;
Cold in the dust, this Rsilent form
may lie,
But which warmed it once can never
die.
None knew her but to love her,
None named her but to praise.
By her loved ones,
E. c GAUSS, CHILDREN AMI
BROTHER.

L. S. NAVY IN NEED OF
OFFICERS, SAYS BLUE

Washington, Feb .5.-Rear Admiral
Victor Blue, chief of the bureau of
navigation, declared to the House ma
val committee today that while the
American navy is "better off today
than it ever has been" the most vi
tai weakness is shortage or officers.
"When Secretary Daniels took of
flee the admiral said he was faced
by that situation, and by the further
fact that the number under training
at Annapolis was reduced one-half
that year from natural causes. Every
effort to fill the academy had failed,
he said, and it was necessary for Con-
gress to act"
Admiral Fletcher's much discussed
statement that the fleet was short
5000 enlisted men, he said, was mis-
leading, because the present compile
ments for the ships were established
years ago. He presents tables to
show that American ships carried more
men but fewer officers than foreign
vessels of the same type.
The enlisted personnel had been in
creased more than 5000 men since

ligence has contributed to the fire
risk.
"In some of the buildings where the
raise in rates has been greatest there
are several extra hazardous lines of
business carried on while the build
ings lack fire walls which should be
provided.
"The fixing of rates by the great
insurance companies has been reduced
to scientific basis and in many cases
it is the little things that could be
avoided that figure largely in the
rates while the companies invite their
agents at any time to call to their at
tention to any new condition which
may warrant readiustment and |
am sure that cooperation on the part
of the people would result in lower
ing the rates very soon. For instance
if the city should adopt stringent reg
ulations against allowing rubbish in
back yards that would help greatly
while individual property owners car
also do much to secure lower rates bN

Insurance Raise Stirs
All the Valley Towns

For long time it has been the
claim of the insurance companies that
they have lost money during the last
four years on all business in New
Mexico, Arizona and Southern Cali
fornia, and there have been repeated
intimations of a probable raise in rates
in the valley towns.
This intimation has now been made
good by announcement of raises that
in a few cases run to about 100 per
cent increase in rates, while on an
average the rates are advanced about
20 per cent.
This has caused much comment and
condemnation, and a prominent local
agent holds out hope that another ad-
iustment may follow if the people of
the town will work to that end. Said
he:
"The inspectors for the board of
underwriters were here short time
after the earthquake and made a
careful inspection of the various prop
critics, and there is no doubt that the
situation then looked very unfavor-
able The town has also been negli-
gent in the matter of keeping the
back yards and alleys behind business
houses clear of rubbish, and this neg

down several persons.
The bomb theory was, however, re-
jected by Colonel Sherwood, commits
sioner of Dominion police, who insist
ed that the conflagration was acci-
dental.
Two women who lost their lives
were Nine. Bray, wife of H. A. Bray,
of Quebec, and Nine. NORM, wife of
Louis NORM, of Beauce, Quebec.
The men whose bodies are still bur
led in the debris are Alphonse Des-
jardins, a Dominion policeman; Al
phonse Desjardins, his uncle, an en-
ploye in the building and Robert Fan

might be if the United States should
be added to the list Of enemies of that
country, and it is admitted that the
consequences might be most serious.
In this country there is no question
that the army and navy officials are
weighing all the points carefully and
are prepared to act with all the vigor
the war equipment permits in case af-
fairs take the worst possible angle.

to have reached the limit, there prob

Douglas, Ariz., 5.--Ygnacio Corella,

General Domingo Gonzales, broth

to lie only one of number Of cases

NEW DATE SET FOR
TOWN LOT AUCTION

An announcement comes from the
North End that the big auction sale
of Calipatria town lots and small
acreage which was postponed will now
be teld in that town on Saturday the
18th Of February, at which time it is
felt that all roads will be in fine con-
dtion so that those who wish can go
from any and all parts of the val
ley.
A number of people who, knowing
of the previous announcement, came
down in advance, have become so i'm
pressed with the outlook of prosper
ity in the valley by their visits to the
different towns that they have re-
manned down here in order to be on
hand when the big auction takes
place.
Judging from the numerous inqui-
ries that have come from the outside
regarding this credit sale, Calipatria
is making even larger preparations to
entertain the crowds and the same
program of big free barbecue will
be carried out as well as a big time
in the evening when the ladies of the
town are mysteriously making prep
arations for some of their big do
ings.
Reed and Hammond, the auction
eers, who have their headquarters in
Los Angeles, are advertising the sale
there as we'll as the townsite peo-
pie and without doubt it will re-
suit in visit of big delegation to
the valley of interested investors and
