Americas greatest automobile out
ing, National Touring week, has won
place on the cards of Dame For
tune. No movement furthered in the
interests of automobile touring has
ever gripped the nation as this project

charm and joy of the open on August g..
Motor ear owners are overhaullng
the old car, or investing in a new
one, preparatory to setting forth on
a little Columbus expedition directed
toward the scenic beauty ana wonder
of America.
Seeing America First has been re-
vamped to chant ''See America First
by Seeing Your Own State Now" The
motorists of this country have been
awakened to the new understanding
that Scenic America comedies prestige

Moreover, they have reached the re-
aiization that Scenic America is not

That scenic beauty and Natures
wonderland hide within every state
is the sermon being preached by Ma
tional Touring Week. The motorist
has but to set forth in his car and
get off the beaten trail a few stages
to find the spell of sequestered living,
and the charm of Natures artistry.
Nature is prodigal with her charms.
One need not travel far to find those
hooks in the woodland. those water
falls of the glen, and the fascination
of dolce far niente.
Makers of automobiles have sprung
to the support of National Touring

London, Aug. 4.-The operations
along the Somme on the western
front are momentarily transcribed in
interest by the situation at Verdun.
Yesterday the French, taking the
offensive, made an attack along "a
three-mile front east OF the Meuse,
capturing several German trenches
and organized points of support.
Paris today reports this ground held
against series of German counter
attacks delivered last night. Progress
by the French in the Fleury sector
northeast of the fortress, also is an
nounced, together with the capture
of LOO Germans in the fighting on
the east bank Of the river since Au-
gust /.
In the Somme region the Germans
have made renewed attempts to re-
gain the positions they were forced
to give up to the French in the Mona
Gu farm sector near the river on
Tuesday night. These failed, Paris
declared, and the new French posi-
tions between Monacu farm and Hem
wood were organized by their captor.
Similarly a German attack south Of
the Somme near Estrees was futile.
The German gunboat Graf Won Got
zen was sunk in an engagement on
Lake Tanganyka in an engagement

The official Italian statement is

Nine horses were killed and three

French troops have penetrated the
German lines on the Monacu farm in
the region of the river Somme, and
have taken a trench section to the
north of that position, says the Off

the German army headquarters at
Berlin.
In the region north of the fortress

the French have recaptured trench

YUMA CONSENTS TO
BUILDING WEIR
through drought.

It seems that it was not the over
whelming legal ability Of M. w.
Conkling that brought about the per
mission to construct the weir in the
colorado, as has been contended. Yu-
ma offered to have the injunction
amended if therD!strict would execute
y bond in the sum of 100000 to pay
for possible damages, and Mr.. Conh-
Ing accepted the offer.
The Yuma Sun thus tells Of the
settlement:
1t Will be gratifying news to every
one both in Yuma county and in the
Imperial Valley to know that the con-
.troversy over the construction of a
pile dam at Hanlon's Heading was
settled yesterday in a manner which
insures the unit holders of the Yuma
project against damage and at the
same time gives the Imperial district
water with which to save their crops
this season.
"The settlement came after
lengthy conference at the Water
Users office in this city yesterday
between Attorney M. w. Conkling
and Thomas O'Brien, for the Imper-
ial District, and J. M. Thacker, pres
ident of the Water Users Associa-
tion, Of the Yuma project; T. d. Mol
10y, attorney for the association, and
Milford Winsor, one of the COVER
ncrs, and ratification Of the acts
of the representatives by meeting
of the board Of governors last even-
log.
1.-The agreement provides that the
Water Users' Association modify its
! injunction suit filed Tuesday and per-
nit the construction of the pile dam
as commenced by the Imperial Dis
trict, the Imperial District to exc
cute good bond in the sum Of $780,
600, to be forfeited to the Water
Users Association if they fail to re-
move the dam between the first day
Of October and the first day of No
vember next. The paper, when exc
cuted, will provide that the piling
must be pulled from the river be-
Imperial Valley press., 1916-08-04

ct once proceed to Phoenix and exc
cute such bond with some bonding
company, according to a statement he
made last night, and as soon as the
security and papers have been ap-
proved the injunction will be modi-
fed.
Attorneys Molloy and Conkling
signed stipulation last night putting
this agreement into effect and agree
5ift that the judge shall make a new
restraining order, which transaction
will be had in the Superior court to-
day at 10 o'clock. The point that is
particularly to be emphasized is that
the injunction suit is to be maintained
under the stipulations as signed.
E. "The conference yesterday resolved
itself into general discussion Of
every possible phase of the situation.
The Yuma representatives contended
that the construction of TIE dam. WIS
unlawful, regardless of the permis-
sion of the War Department; that it
might result in great damage to the
unit holders of the Yuma project, and
that they feared the Imperial people
would not follow the orders Of the
War Department with reference to
it's removal in the fall. Mr. Conkling
argued that there was no doubt of
the faithful intent Of his people to
follow the directions Of the war de-
partment to the letter, and contended
that aside from floods no damage was
possible as the result of the dam.
He said, however, that he was de-
sirous of having the matter amicably
settled without going into the courts,
and as last resort agreed to the
bond proposition.
"Seen last night by the writer, Mr..
Conkling said he was satisfied his
people would ultimately have been
required to give bond for the faith
full performance of it's obligations to
remove the dam if the courts were
resorted to, and that he felt they
might as well give such bonds On
amicable and friendly terms at once
and save time and money and prevent
the i'll feeling that would be the re-
suit of lawsuit. "The two valleys
should be on friendly terms" he said,
"and there is no reason why they
shouldn't be so. Our people simply
have to save their crops and the only
way at this time is to construct that
dam. We have agreed with the war
department that we will never ask for
the privilege of building another dam.

| EsIGNATF SHORTAGE USUAL

The board of directors of the
District today passed this resOlu-
ton:
whereas, to prevent the usual
summer water shortage we have
under consideration several expen-
sive plans of improvement. in
Guiding a connection with the La
guna dam; and
"Whereas, other plans may be
proposed frGm time to time;
Resolved, That this board re-
specially ask the Clearing House
Association OF Los Angeles to
nominate two prominent engi-
neers, who may be free from any
affiliatiOn with the United States
Reclamation Service, to act, to-
gether with the state engineer, as
a consulting board for this dis
trict."
Imperial Valley press., 1916-08-04

tween the dates mentioned, and that
the rest of the material must be re-
p,oved at a time which may be pre-
seribed by the project manager Of the
Yuma project. The bond is also to
secure the unit holders of the Yuma
project against all damages that may
arise because of the obstruction from
me tine it is installed to the day
of it's removal, and to pay all ex-
penses which may accrue with refer
ence to the deal. Mr.. Conkling will
