NEW WASTE CATE
FROM WEST SIDE

District Orders Advertisement for
Bids for Construction of Item No.
"a, Report No. 2" of the Consult
ing Engineers-Bills Paid by Di-
rectOrs.

Directors of the Irrigation District,
at their meeting on January %, the
minutes of which became available to-
day, ordered advertisements for bids
on the construction of a waste gate
at the Wistaria heading on the West
Side Main to the New river.
The cost of this gate was estimat-
ed at $4,000 when the consulting en-
gineers made their report several
months ago. General Manager Clarke,
however, states that the gate will
cost about $4,000, and perhaps more,
because Of the rise in material and
labor.
The interest account of Water Com
pany No. 6 in the Cerrc Prieta and
Solfatara loans, with Voucher No. 629
of that company, was referred to
Messrs Clark and Swing for settle
ment. No 6 proposes to charge the
District 10 per cent.
The sum of $2sOO was ordered
transferred from the Construction
found to the Protective fund, to cover
expenditures chargeable to Items 81
and 38, of Report No. 2, and provided
for in the second issue of bonds.
Following are some of the bills
against the District, amounting to
$1O,O6O and audited by the general

for peace. Many were wounded when

Relay Race Promises to Be the Fea-

at Ell CentrO High Monday and

Amcng the Upper Classmen

Artists of the cinder path have un-
dergone the last hard workout in
preparation for the inter-class tack
meet to be held at the High School
Monday and Tuesday afternoons.
The underclassmen have been show
ing greater class than ever before,
and the meet should be closer than it
was at first thought. Later develop
ments may make win for the un-
derclassmen possible.
As the matter stands, however, the
Seniors have certainly the edg on
the other three classes. Baker and
Carey are certain winners in the 100,
220 and the high and low hurdles,
while Baker is certain to take first
place in the high jump and broad
jump. Rehkopf has an almost GER
tain first place in the pole vault, al
though the other two places in this
event may go to the underclassmen.
In the distance events, the half
mile and mile, the Seniors will prob
ably divide or little better, while
Swanson, for the underclassmen, will
take the quarter-mile event, unless
Carey enters this event, which is un-
likely. Young and Sears, for the Sc
niors, and Swanson, Fisher, Gullet
and Haas, combine in an interesting
crowd of competition for the distance
races.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Francis
Heneyr, special counsel of the
Federal Trade Commissions meat
packing investigation, today
charged that the packing interests
attempted to bring influence to
bear on the president to have the
present investigation stopped.
Heney told the commission he
would show the packers were in
spired by joint telegram sent to
the president by Detroit bankers
protesting that the investigation
was disturbing economic condi-
tiOns. Heney said he discovered
ecidence that the packers exerted
an influence on the tin industry
and held control over financial in
stitutiOns. Heney made a memo
randum from confidential files of
Edward Swift as a basis of the
charge that the division of live
stock buying by five big packers
would limit competition between
them.

connection with the reading of
further confidential documents

DR.. R. K. McGuffin of Imperial,

There are three cases of smallpox

one case was discovered yesterday in
a cotton camp in the North End, and
the cotton picking crew, twenty in
number, were quarantined and a
guard placed over them. This cotton
picker came from Oklahoma recently
and brought the case with him. The
first case is almost ready to be dis
charged from the pest house
