For many days the southern coast
has been experiencing heavy rain, the
first of which appeared in this valley
Saturday night, light drizzle being
almost continuous for two nights and
a day, until this morning.
One result of the storm has been a
washout at Whitewater on the main
line of the Southern Pacific, between
Palm Springs and Banning. where all
traffic has been held up for hours.
The report this morning of the incom-
ing train from Los Angeles was that
it would be six hours late, bringing it
in about noon.
The storm, while not running high
in volume of water, has thoroughly
soaked the valley, greatly benefiting
the barley and alfalfa, but has put pas
ture fields in shape to be badly cut
up by cattle.
The roads will be greatly benefited
by the storm and all vegetation looks
cleaner.
Al 1880, after respite of several
hours, rain began to fall gently again,
and the indications are that the storm
mas not yet passed. The sky this aft
ernoon is hidden by heavy mass of
clouds.

San Diego, Jan. 17.-Colonel Ed
Fletcher, state representative of the
Southern National Highway Associa-
tion, said today:
"The committee is most enthusi-
astic over the report of Engineer Bur-
rell. 1t covers so pages, and goes into
detail as to the road conditions in
each state and county through which
the Southern National Highway
passes. We are the only national
highway association in the United
States who have had donated the serv-
ices of a United States government
engineer, and who have received a
favorable report from government
official.
"The greatest enthusiasm prevails
all along the route, and each county
in every state through which the road
passes is vieing with the other in the
early completion of it's section of the
Southern National Highway.
"Within probably II months the
road from San Diego to FL Paso, Tex,
will be as safe for travel by any ma
chine as any of our back country
roads in San Diego county.
"The next step is thorough sign
posting of the route from San Diego
to Washington, and it is up to San
Diego to start the good work and see
that it is completed.

What Lansing Said.

Here are the salient points of
Secretary Lansing's address to
the Pam American Scientific Con-
gress, on which the opinions of
Latin-American diplomats were
obtained:
BY U. S. Secretary of State
Lansing.
Pan-Americanism is an express
sion of the idea of International
ism. America has become the
guardian of that idea, which will,
in the end, rule the world.
The might of this country will
never be exercised in a spirit of
greed to wrest from a neighbOr-
ing state its territory or possess
siOns.
If the sovereignty of a sister re-
public is menaced from over the
seas, the power of the United
States and, | hope and believe,
the united power of the American
republics, will constitute bull
wark which will protect the inde-
pendence and integrity of their
neighbors from unjust invasion
and aggression.
The American family of nations
might well take for its motto that

YOUNG GIBSON TO THE
FRONT FOR ENGLAND,

Mrs. H. II. Gibson is now in Toror
to, Canada, at the home of Mr.. Glib
sons parents, where she expects t,
remain for a month or more on
visit.
Their son, Ansel, who was attend
ing high school here, on invitation
from his grandmother, Mrs. p. S. Glib
son, went last September to reside al
her home and attend the Toronto
Technical School.
Ansel has always been noted amone
his friends as an ardent supporter of
anything British, although only five
years of age when with his parents
he left Canada to reside in Kentucky.
and at the age of fifteen came to New
Orleans.
His interest in the European war
was above all else, and upon attaining
the required age of eighteen years he
at once. enlisted in the Canadian over
seas forces and since the first of jan
uary has been in training with the
many thousands of other Canadian
boys in Toronto.
At present he may be addressed as
Pie. A. B. Gibson, 124th Battalion. Sth
Platoon, c. E. F., Davenport Barracks.
Toronto, Canada.
Recently he made application for
transfer from the infantry to the mo-
torcycle corps and was accepted, but
has not yet been released from his
position as a private.
AS 1t is the policy Of the English
not to send halftrained men to the
frcnt, it is reasonable to expect that
Ansel will be in Canada for several
months yet and will then go to Eng.
land for further training for a few
months before crossing the English
Channel.
Ansel is now allowed freedom from
service daily from 4 to 9 D. m, and |
onger on Sundays, which will enable |
him to have a good visit with his
mother.
He misses his old friends here very
much and wishes all would write him
ust as some are doing.

he young people is being continued
