Wants Better Roads.

John j. Davis of Wenden is spend
ing a few days in Parker on business
Mr.. Davis owns some valuable min
ing property near Wenden, and lis
one of the pioneers of northern Yuma
county Mr.. Davis is advocating a
get4together meeting of the people of
this end of the county for the purpose
OF ascertaining what the county is
doing with that 100000 good roads
bond issue. He believes that the
north end should unite and demand
it's just proportion of this road
money, and If lit cannot get it from
the board of supervisors, he advo-
Gates applying for am injunction in
the superior court against further
expenditure till something definite be-

that the $4,000 apportionment for
north end roads is entirely In
adequate, and unjust, in view of the
fact that northern Yuma county pays
at least One-quarter of the taxes OF
the entire county. Mr. Davis says
there is great dissatisfaction through
out this end of the county regarding
the road policy of the board of super

BE AVERTED
THE DE FAcTo GOVERNMENT OF
MEXICO SENDS NOTE OF CON-
ciLlATiON TO PRESIDENT WILL
SON.

WASHINGTON Judy 6-Fsormaa ac-
| ceptance of Gen. Caranza's proposal
that differences between the United
States and the de facto government
of Mexico be settled by direct nego-
toations will be dispatched soon to
Mexico City. This was decided by
President Wilson today ait confer
ence with Secretary Lansing.
The Mexican note, delivered yester-
day, said the de facto government ha
accepted in principle Latin, American
offers OF mediation, but was waiting
information as to whether the United
States believed the desired results
could be accomplished by direct ex-
changes between the two govern
ments.
While Gen. Carranza's amicable
rejoinder to the last two American
notes has greatly eased tension. no
official was willing today to predict
the final outcome of the negotiations
which are foreshadowed. 1t was
made plain that immediate with
Grawlal OF Gen. Pershing's force frS
Mexico will not be an acceptable
basis for whatever plan of co-opera-
tive action along the border is work
ed out.
Washington officials take the posi-
ton that only the preliminary step
has been taken by Gen Carranza to
ward the friendly adjustment he now
appears to desire. Demonstration
of his ability to carry out the prom
ises expressed and implied in his
not is sull lacking.
The efficiency OF Mexican police
measures may be put soon to a Sc
we're test according to rumors trans
mitted from the border today to the
state department. These state that
Francisco Villa has recovered from
his wounds and is personally leading
a force northward from the region
just south of Parral.
After his talk with the secretary,
Ambassador Arredondo said he had
been assured that the United States
was ready to take up direct negotia-
tions with Gen Carranza along the
lines suggested in the CaranZa mote.
The ambassador said the Mexican sit
nation had been discussed in a gen
eral way at the conference and that
there had been no mention of with
drawal of the American troops.

Fortunately Parker escaped being
destroyed by fire this year by means
of the indiscriminate use of firecrack-
ers and other dangerous implements
of powder and paper. Practically
every hamlet in this country pro-
hibits the use of fireworks within its
limits mot only on account of the dan
ger of fire. but for the reason that
so many young children are MANNED
for life by the use of fireworks and
firecrackers. Next year the proper
authorities should be petitioned to
prohibit the sale and use OF fireworks

Finishing Empire Road.

General Manager Knox of the Em-
pire-Arizona Copper company has
put force of men at work on the
uncompleted portion of the new road
from the Carnation camp to connect
with the Billy Mack road. This will
be completed within the next couple
of weeks 1t remains to be seen
whether the county will repair the
road between Parker and the Billy
Mack mine, along the river. The
mining men of this district are much
discouraged over the attitude the
board has taken in refusing to build
roads where they are needed in this
end of the county, and declare that
THE failure of the county officials TO
eNpend a just proportion OF the road
fund and the bond issue fund in this
end of the county is a most fragrant
imposition upon the taxpayers.

Depending entirely on trained ami

two steel barred arenas in which the

Limbs,

Limbs come on trees and people.
They are seen on trees, in court rooms,
on the stage and at the seashore. They
may be covered with bark, plasters or
silk, as the case may be.
Limbs are useful in many ways.
Pelicans, who are very economical and
therefore never get into deep water,
use only one at a time. Soldiers use
them for various purposes, sometimes
standing upon them and sometimes
running away.
Limbs are made of cork, wood or
bone. Cork limbs are useful as life
preservers. Wooden limbs can be TAX

sanitary district and the Illinois we+s--
way propositions.
Both the Chicago and downstate
congressman were amazed when they
learned of the senate action and that
if had been taken in the absence OF
Senators Sherman and Lewis.
Representative Rainey, leader OF the
illinois democratic delegation, although
an opponent Of the Dunno waterway
plan, said;
Il can not rejoice over this amend
ment simply because it effectively kills
The fake waterway of Governor Dunno,
to which l am unalterably opposed.
Right now the thing that concerns me
most is the health of millions in Chi
cago and Illinois which has been jeop-
ardized by the attempt to get the
Dunno waterway into the river and
harbor bill. There is only one course
to pursue and that is to strike out the
entire provision"

START NEW MOVE
TOSAvE PROJECT
Illinois Congressman to Fight Approval
by House OF arke.LaFOllette
Amendment
SECRETARY BAKER Is INVOLVED
War Department Chief, Opposing Plan,
Author of Measure Intended
to Defeat Bill.

Members of the Illinois delegation in
congress yesterday took steps to pre-
vent the approval by the house of the
Clarke-LaFollette amendment to the
river and harbor bill adopted by the
senate Monday.
This amendment effectually prevents
the building of the Dunno waterway
and also restricts for all time the
amount of water the sanitary district
may take from Lake Michigan in order
to dispose of the Chicago sewage.
In going over the situation which has
developed since the senate took its &C
ton, while both senators from Illinois
were away and without any one say
ing word for the Dunno plan or in
defense of the health of Chicagoans,
the congressman found:
1. Secretary of War Baker is the
author of the Clarke-LaFollette amend
ment and suggested to Senator Clarke
that it should be put into the senate
measure.
9. The secretary of war sent a let
ter to Senator Clarke urging the adop-
ton of the amendment, after General
". NJ Black the new chief of engi-
neers, had furnished him with a memo
randum condemning the Dunno plan.
3. The Black memorandum and the
Baker letter indicate that the war de-
partment will rule adversely on Gov
ernor DUNES petition for fehear-
ing on his waterway scheme.
4. The only way to prevent con-
gressional action limiting the amount
of water that may be taken from Lake
Michigan by either the sanitary dis
trict or the state of Illinois for water
way purposes is TO eliminate the
amended authorization altogether.
Illinoisans Prepare to Fight.
Illinois members of the house, fol-
lowing the receipt of kilograms from
the trustees of the sanitary district
conferred and formulated program to
prevent the enactment or the Clarke
LaFolIette amendment
Congressman Madden saw Chairman
Sparkman of the river and harbor com
mittee and obtained promise that the
river and harbor bill with the senate
amendments would not be called up in
the house until after the two national
conventions.
Minority Leader Mann said he would
remain in Washington throughout the
conventions, especially TO watch the

Thirty full grown jungle-bred African
lions are assembled at one time in this
act. His lack of fear among the great
one act he puts his head in a lion
mouth, giving him a deep drawn soul
