REPORT BILL
THIS WEEK IS
WORD
To DISTRICT.
General Understanding Bid
is to be Reported Favor
ably Message from Mark
Rose at Washington.

In wire to the irrigation dis
trict from Washington Mark Rose
conveys the information that the
kettner bill will probably be re.
ported out of the committee favor
ably this week.
Mr.. Rose also states that DR.. Elwood
Mead's plan has also been before COM
mittees of congress before. Director
Davis has strongly urged the favorable
report on the bill.
Following are portions of Mr.. Roses
wire to the district:
COMMITTEE met Friday to consider
matters other than ours. Our matter
came up on motion Of Little seconded
by Barbour for immediate report on
the bill which practically all of the
committee seemed to desire but on re-
quest of Hayden the bill went over to
next week with the understanding it
would then be reported out. Director
A. P. DaVis made strong statement
urging immediate action saying he
would not. agree to any amendment
which would mean delay.
"Mead's wire read but the committee
took no notice thereof. This same
scheme of Mead's has been up several
times before committees of congress
without receiving their approval.
"To adopt such amendment would be
absolutely novel as congress has never
taken such a step and would establish
a new precedent which the committee
which was here from the valley real
ize congress has been careful to avoid"
Mr.. Rose at the conclusion of his
telegram again referred to the $50
cialistic theories" of. DR.. Mead.
He asked for certificate from the
county assessor stating how much
land is held by the Southern Pacific
railway.

DUMPS
At ANORADE CO
Up IN FLAMES

A fire belived to have been of in
cendiary origin destroyed approxi-
mately 1920 pounds of dynamite and
blasting powder belonging to the I'M
perial district at Andrade Saturday
morning. The powder and dynamite
which was in two dumps burst into
blaze at 2 o'clock Saturday morning
and burned in few miputes. The
origin of the fire is undetermined
but Engineer w. T. Pierce second in
charge of the Imperial irrigation
works stated yesterday he believed the
blaze was started by persons living in
the vicinity Of Andrade.
There were 144 boxes of black blast
ing powder and 80 boxes of dynamite,
each box weighing so pounds, de-
stroyed. What caused the powder to
burn and not explode is puzzle to the
authorities. If the powder had ex-
ploded many lives would have been
lost as many people were living with
ing few hundred feet of the dumps.
The dumps were located near the new
townsite Of Andrade.
Authorities on both sides of the in
ternational boundary are working on
the case and expect to make arrests
with few hours.

The board OF directors Of the ir-

wired Chairman Moses Kincaid of
the Arid Lands committee request
ing immediate action on the kett-
ner bill.
Following long debate this morn
ing over the question of sending a

motion was made and passed asking
Phil Swing to accompany the board to
the conference.
The decision of the entire board came
as a surprise to many. President Nick
erson and the rest of the board how
we're, felt that it would not be wise to
send single delegate, rather the
board will go to Berkeley to act as
it seems best. If Dr. Mead's proposal
is thought not best for the valley, ac-
tion can be taken on the spot to inform
Washington of the efefct. If it 81 deem
ed wise the board can expressed its
approval.
The Farm Bureau will take action
Wednesday and select delegate. The
American legion has already named
delegates.
On the question of senng wire to
Washington requesting no delay in re-
porting out of the Kettner bill, the
vote stood, Eyes" Nickerson, Edmunds,
Brown and "no" McPherrin. Mr.. Nc
Pherrin stated that he believed the ac-

going to Berkeley to be inconsistent.

Soldier Cuts Telegraph to Make
Repairs and Results Are
Astonishing.
HAS DIPLOMATS WORRIED
Ties Up Railroad Traffic and Results
In Congestion That Takes Month
to Straiqhten Out-Week
to Restore Wires.

Szabadka, Slavonia.-When a wheez-
ing little automobile of American
make, driven by Serbian soldier,
broke down on country road 40
miles from here, it started an interna-
tional tangle which rolled up until it
had the diplomats Of four countries
worried.
Here are some of the things that be-
gan to happen:
Three hundred cars Of French mer-
chandise bound for Roumania piled up
on the four switches of the railroad
yards here and congested things until
not wheel could move.
A Red Cross supply train Of 80 cars,
bound for Bucharest. came up behind
the French trains and completed the
teup Of communications.
Ten Americans were marooned for
nine days on board the Red Cross
train.
Sends Train to Investigate.
Roumanian merchants who were
relying on the prompt delivery Of the
French goods sent special train from
Bucharest to Investigate the delay.
Szabadka, an important town on the
frontier between Hungary and Serbia.
was cut off from all communication
with the outside world.
The Serbian soldier who was the in
nocent cause Of all this trouble was
driving his car merrily northward one
day when the steering gear went
wrong. He stopped, found the cause
OF the difficulty and decided that he
needed piece of stout wire to repair
the damage. He reached up to the
long-hanging, single-wire telegraph
line and cut off generous section.
Having fixed his car, he drove blithely
on. The wire gave out presently and
he renewed it twice, thrice, four or five
times, from the telegraph line beside
the road.
Meanwhile the trains of French mer-
chandise had begun arriving at Sza-
badka. Official sanction was necessary
for the cars to proceed. The frontier
officials framed the proper sort of tele-
gram, and it was duly countersigned
and presented to the operator.
Trains congest Yards.
BE reported that the wire was mot
working" So the frontier officials de-
cided to wait until it began to work.
They waited two days. while more and
more trains drew into the congested
yards. Szabadka was cut off from
wire communication. Mails 60 only
once a week, and then only if trains
are running.
The telegraph officials finally de-
cided to send out a line-repairing
party. The party returned after an
other days delay, with the announce
ment that so many breaks had been
found their supply of spare wire had
given out.
Meanwhile, congestion in the yards
increased and the appeals from the
French convoyers the American con-
voyers and the Roumanian merchants
became more urgent. It was full
week, however, before the wires had
finally been restored and the official
vises obtained. By that time the block
ade had become so complicated that it
will probably take month to put
SZabadka back on q normal basis,
