START ROAD WORK
 Il CtNTR0 10 YUMA

Special to the Yuma Daily Examiner ,
 SACRAMENTO, Cal, Jan 1S.-The California State Board of Control, on January 15, returned to the State Highway Commission with it's appro- val, estimates providing for expedi- lures of $57,500 on the proposed high way between Brawley in Imperial County, and Banning, and for $57, 300 proposed to be expended on the road between El Centro and Yuma.
 According to the estimates of tho State Highway Department work on these two roads is to be commenced within two weeks time.
 The approval of these expenditures marks the continuation of long fight on the part of the people of the I'm perial Valley to secure highways to the east and northward from the val ley, and the carrying out of these pro- jects is the result of a personal in CSISSI ldhGu III Cu0 HdCLST Dy GOV. Johnson, who in August gave his ap- proval to the plan of construction out of. highway maintenance monies in stead of from monies drawn from the general fund of the state.
 It has been known during the last few months that Governor Johnson has taken an active interest in rela- tion to the Imperial Valley roads for the reason that he recognized the justice of the projects and was de- sirous of seeing them undertaken at the earliest possible moment.
 The present activity is due to con- ferences held between the State High way Commission and the Governor since his return to the capitol after recovery from a serious illness which confined him to his home.

JOHAN JOHANNSEN
 BUYS YUMA THEATRE

The Yuma theatre has changeo hands again, which makes no less than four changes during the past six months. But this time in all human probability the change will stick for a long time to come, for Johan Jo- hannsen, proprietor of the Casino theatre, has bought out the former owners and will run the Yuma in con- nection with the Casino and his other show house at Somerton. Not only that but Mr. Johannsen has already begun many much needed changes in the Yuma theatre. It will look like a new theatre when the carpenters and painters finish the contract on hand. New big double doors will be put in both front and sides, sanitary con ditions will be made perfect, and all in all the house will be made perfect ly safe from the possibility of fire
 Tonight at the Casino, the Seven Midgets" will repeat their perform ance that was given this afternoon, originally scheduled for yesterday, but had to be postponed because the little actors were lost on the desert in California in an automobile They are none the worse for their strenu- ous experience and those who wit messed the performance this after noon were delighted with this small bunch of humanity, really the small est lot of actors on the stage.

GREAT VOLUME OF
 WATER COMING DOWN

Phoenix Reclamation officials tele graphed the local reclamation service officials early this afternoon that the Roosevelt dam would be full to over flowing by 4 o'clock today, and that 80,000 second feet of water would have to be wasted over the dam.
 In addition to that there are now 50,000 second feet of water flowing down the Verde river, and 10000 sec ond feet of water in the Gila at Kel. yin, just east of Florence. When all this immense body of water gets to- gether, as in the common nature of things it must, it will mean 140,000 second feet of water coming down the Gila toward Yuma, or over twenty times as much water as has been in the Colorado for the past six months.
 Add to this the rise that is known to be coming down the Colorado and it will at once be seen that we will soon De confronted With a real con- dition and not a mere theory The Colorado rose four-tenths of a foot at Needles last night and is still rising.
 Here at Yuma the gauge stood at IT feet today at noon, a rise of about half a foot since last night The high waters of the Gila are not due here before tomorrow night or early the next morning. In the meantime the people across the river in the Imperial Valley had best be on their guard, for, should the Volcano Lake levee weak en, it will be disastrous to Mexicali and Calexico, as well as other towns in the Imperial Valley.

Soon after five o'clock this afternoon there vii be four overland trains from the east tied up here in Yuma, No. 1, which reached here this morning at 7:30, and Nos. 3, 9 and 1O1.
 In the aggregate there will be several hundred passen- gers, and they will be our guests for an indefinite time, as the tracks all through Southern California are now washed out to such an extent that railroad officials have no idea when train service can be re-establiShed between Yuma and Los Angeles.
 The only train for the west is the one that runs to Mexicali, Mexico, and there stops. It is the worst con- dition that the Southern Pacific has had to contend with for many years. The rain storms are general through out the country, every section of which is suffering ten times as much as Yuma.
 Our wide-awake Commercial Club jhould by all means get together and see what can be done to make our guests feel at home while in our midst. It is the opportunity of a

| lifetime to show. them what we have, and how we can entertain unexpected though welcome guests. They may be here for several days, and they may be here only until the sun rises tomorrow. All the more reason why an effort should be made at once to make the strangers feel at home.
 As soon as President Kirkpatrick, of the Commercial Club, was appriseo of the marooning of the four trains in Yuma, he at once got busy He has met each of the incoming trains and rendered the freedom of the city to our unexpected guests, and, acting in conjunction with other members of the Commercial Club, will leave noth- ing undone to make the visitors com- fortable during their enforced stay in Yuma.
 For the special benefit of the strangers the Southern Pacific hotel will turn it's big dining room over to them for dance after the regular dinner hour.
 In addition to this, Manager Nolan, of the Arizona Hotel, has tendered the freedom of his hostelry to the strangers, and, in addition to that, will give them the use of the Gandolfc Hotel ball room. Theatre parties are now being arranged for the guests, and, altogether, they will find that Yuma citizens know how to make the strangers feel welcomed, even though they didn't telegraph us of their con- templated visit.

The following letter is self planatory, and is doubly grat- flying, inasmuch as the Yuma Daily Examiner was the first to call attention to this Los Angeles knock at Yuma"
 The same request was made at San Francisco, where Yuma was never men, toned by the train crier, and it is hoped that a similar or der has been issued at thar point; in fact, word has been received to that effect, tho the information was not in the nature of an official com munication.
 Unless Yuma wakes up and demands that she be treated fairly all along the line, we may expect nothing more than we have always been getting, and that was the worst of the deal.
