IC DON'T forget the primary election to be held on
the 29th There are two very important matters to be
taken care of at that time, and every Republican voter
should do his or her duty
As the Press has stated the matter Of the utmost i'm
portance to the voters Of the Valley will be to get on
solid vote for Governor Johnson for the United States
Senate This is important because Of his service to the
state at large but Of supreme importance to the Val
lev that the senator to be elected shall have stronger
bonds to the people of this Valley than to the large land
interests across the line in Mexico. Those interests are
In the hands of what is known the Times group OF cor
1oraons and capitalists in Los Angeles and it is that
group which has brought out Willis H Booth for senator
Before this senator to be elected shall have completed
his term it must be decided whether the Mexican lands
will bear the burden of controlling the Colorado river in
Mexico and the senator will pretty nearly have it in his
power to decide the question.

CITY MEETING TONIGHT.
Voters Called to Act on South Main
Street Paving Bonds.

city meeting will be held at the
opera house tonight, beginning at s
O'Clock, to see if the city will vote to
bond for paving portion of South Main
street and for erecting a new bridge over
Jail branch and, if it should be voted to
bond, to make the other necessary ar
rangements. The paving project on
South Main street has been considered
for long time by the city council and it
was thought advisable to put the matter
up to the voters.
As considerable has been said about
the present Indebtedness of the city. the
following facts are submitted for the
consideration of the voters The total
bonded indebtedness is S207 900 and the
other Indebtedness is Sl4,04l .65, making
a total obligation. irrespective of the
water department, of 1921 ,04l .65. Against
that amount is the sinking fund, which
to S75,S64.77; and subtracting
the amount of the sinking fund from
the debt leaves the net indebtedness of
the city at Sl45,l76 The water de-
partment obligation is $4,000, which is
being reduced 5000 each year; and
against that total is the valuation of the
water plant.

| John Riley, aged 80, a quarryworker
employed by the Wetmore & Morse Co.
in Websterville, sustained skull frac-
ture at 1880 o'clock this morning when
a silver" or fragment Of granite block
which was being hoisted struck him on
the head. DIR. n. Il. Avery of East Barre
was called and the injured man was
rushed to the City hospital in Whit
combs motor ambulance. Death came
to Riley as he reposed on the operating
table at the hospital few moments be-
fore o'clock. From the outset, it seemed
that his injuries would be fatal.
According to the statement given out
at the quarry this morning, Riley was
working with a grouting gang soon aft
er the z o'clock whistle sounded. When
the signal came for blast the gang re-
treated TO cover. After the blast had
been discharged, the men issued forth
only to receive a second signal from
man on the gHout pile indicating that
heavy stone was to be hoisted. 1t is
stated that the gang, with the exception
of Riley. turned again for shelter. Ap-
parently Riley was in the rear and when
the men received the second signal, he
is said to have glanced skyward At that
moment "sliver," as the quarrymen
designate fragment of granite, fell
from the larger stone and struck the
man in the head
He was removed to a cot in the office
and a hurry call was sent in for DIR.
Avery and an ambulance. Riley is said
TO have practically retained conscious
ness and when the physician arrived,
arose from a reclining condition on the
couch and spoke r few words, scarcely
TO the men. A cursory ex-
animation disclosed skull fracture and
ID was in the faint hope that the mans
life might be saved by delicate opera
tion, that he was hurried to the hospital.
Within 2S minutes after leaving the
quarry, it was said, Riley was on the
operating table.
