T|RE: REPAIRING
 BIC PROPOSITION
Manager of Local Branch of Goodyear Tire Company Gives Interesting
 Dope on Subject.

Tt is surprising what tremendous proportions the business of tire repair ing has assumed in the last two or three years says H. T. Roseland, branch manager of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company.
 Registration figures show that more than two million cars are now in service. When you stop to consider that each one of these cars is engaged in wearing out four tires, with a fifth doing service as d spare and a sixth needed to replace one of these some time during the year, you begin to realize that l2,00000O tires offer op- portunities for the repair man and his art. There never has been d greater need for competent repair men than exists today.
 "The Goodyear Tire and Rubber company appreciating that in the coming season many persons will em- bark in the business of repairing au- tomobile tires, and with the idea of contributing to the cause share of the experience which has been assimi- lated by Goodyear tire experts, is an nouncing the opening of a school of tire repairing. in which free instruction will be given to persons already in the business and those who are contem- plating an entrance into it."

Local Attorney Who Has Returned, Warns Motorists to be on Guard
 Against Mud

According to F. Louis Zimmerman prominent local attorney, who has just returned from an auto trip to Cali fornia, there are many evils waiting along the road. to reach out and stop the unWary motorist.
 Zimmerman. accompanied by his wife, started for Needles several weeks ago. They arrived there all right, but later started for Los Angeles by way of San Bernardino. They attempted to go through the Tajone pass but the snow was so deep, that it was inn possible to push through.
 The trip back was more exciting. The heavy Arizona rains had raised all sorts of hob with the roads and rivers. Mud was predominant all the way through. Near Parker there is about eight miles of the worst mud imaginable, it was necessary to go the entire distance on low The Agua Fria was up, and if it had not been for the high position of the carburetor on his Oakland he never would have pulled through. Several other cars there, needed four horses to pull them out.

Reclamation Officials of Opinion That High Water Will Strike Valley As Soon As Snow Starts to Melt On Mountains t

If weather conditions in the neigh very suddenly, the valley is in danger of another flood, according to Project Manager w. $. Cone.
 He has lately returned from the dam, and while there stated that he never saw so much snow on the noun tains. Since that time, there has been an almost steady fall.
 The reservoir, instead of falling, as it has been doing the past week, has started to fill up again. On Wednes- day the elevation was 22796 feet, but yesterday it had come up to 22S.42, with a gain of 1886 acre feet.
 Whether any material damage will be done when the flood reaches here is hard to predict. MT. Cone stated that it was all according to how fast the water comes. He is positive that it will come, and asked The Republican to warn all people who have returned to the low lands around the river to be on the outlook for a rise in the water
 Work on repairing the damage to the project is proceeding speedily. Wheth- CT the damages can be repaired in time to stand off the onslaught of the new rush of water is a problem.
 At the Roosevelt dam, the outlet gates have been wide open, in an ef- fort to lower the surface of the water The reclamation service is doing ev- erything in its power to stave off a flood, but whether they will be suc- cessful remains to be seen.
 Project Manager Cone stated that there was no need of being hysterica1 over the matter, but it was better tC let the people know that such d thine was expected in order that they could i prepare for it.

In Reply to u. S. Request

Asks Some Permission
By associated Press

Washington, March 11.-General
Carran2a, through Consul Silliman
has asked the American government
for permission to send Mexican troops
across the border and into the United
States in pursuit OF bandits.
Consul Silliman transmitted the fol-

the Villa bandits with American force.

that he learned with regret of tire la
mentable incident which occurred in

THAT although there has been a

and foreigners, ever since Francisco
Villa appeared in the mountain of the
State, at the request of the governor of
the State and of the constitutionalist

Selling Field With Case

Howard Wilcox and Don Herr.
known to all followers of automobile
racing, have taken over the distribu-
ton of Case cars in the State of In
diana. These two well-known auto
mobile racing drivers for many years
nave had the opportunity TO study the
needs of motor construction: hence the
opinion of Mr.. Wilcox of the new
Case Forty is of deep interest. IN
speaking of the Case car he says:
I'VE have been multiple cylinder
advocates, but have always been par
tial TO the four-cylinder motor, owing
TO our connection with them in the
contest field. In view of the fact that
the gasoline and lubricating oil mar
ket has been steadily increasing and
will continue to increase, we have been
waiting for the development of u four
cylinder car that would meet all the
detailed requirements that our judg-
ment foresaw, and take pleasure in
saying that the Case four cylinder
last word in automobile construction,
and has proven to be an economical
car when fuel costs are considered.
1--WE have arranged for a conserva-
tive number of these cars, to handle
in connection with the White car,
which we have had for the last year,
and which is also a four-cylinder car.
We intend to place these cars in the
hands of the most eXacting buyers who
are now looking for a four cylinder
car which has embodied in it's con-
struction mechanical superiority over
the present-day six, eight and twelve
cylinder autos.
I'VE do not think that the per-
formances of this car can be dupli-
Gated except in cars costing $500 to
5000 in excess of its price, and feel
that it is partially due to the long eX-
perience of seventy-two years of the
Case Company in the manufacturing
business that they are able to place
this car on the market for the eX-
ceptionallY low price of S1.O9O.n
