members of congress who openly have
sympathized with Germany In their
opposition TO clothing the president

the United States is the subject of the
keenest interest.
Such q proposal as Germany in-
structed her minister to make to Mexi-
co borders on an act Of war, IL, actu-
ally. 1t is not one.
d. No doubt exists here now that the
persistent reports during the last two
years of the operations of German
agents not alone in Mexico but all
through Central America and the Wes!
Indies are based on fact.
There Is now no doubt whatever
that the proposed alliance with Mex

DESIRE TO CONNECT WITH
LAGUNA DAM.

YUMA, Dec. THE Imperial Irri-
cation district, an organization form
ed within the last few days and COM
posed Of practically all Of the water
panies Of Imperial valley, will send
committee of three Of its members
to Washington in the immediate fu-
ture, for the purpose Of obtaining
permission from the department of
interior and, il possible. a contract
to build a canal connecting the Yuma
siphon and the Alamo canals.
This will be an all-American canal.
If the committee Is successful in its
mission, the big ditch will begin at
the drop in the Yuma canal, half way
between that city and the dam, and
will be about seventeen miles long.
It will follow right of way practi-
cally Identical with that already Sc
cured by the Laguna Water company,
but 1t is understood that satisfactory
arrangements have been made with
that corporation.
The purpose Of the association at
this time is to obtain connection be-
tween the Laguna project and the I'm
perial valley irrigation system, as
quickly as possible in order to insure
against possible water shortage
next season.
Chief Engineer Clarke has been
instructed to prepare plans and an
approximate estimate of the cost of
the canal.

that beef and pork can be sent to

That can be done If the farms will
keep an average Of 100 hens instead
Of an average Of 40 hens, as at pres
