STEEL RAILS

The first Bessemer steel rail made in America was rolled by the North Chicago Rolling-Mill Company from steel made at Wyandotte, Mich, fifty four years ago today. May "A, 1865. This was in the nature of an experi- ment, and but six rails were made. Two years later a similar experiment was made by a New York mill from steel made at Troy, N Y-. but it was not until August. 1867. that the Cam bria Iron Company began to roll Bessemer steel rails as a. regular business. thus laying the foundation for q gigantic industry Steel rails were first made and used in England. The first steel rail was laid on a track of an American railroad in 1863. tho rails having been imported from Great Britain. The Pennsylvania railroad was the pioneer in this line. the original importation consisting of 100 tons, at s150 gold per ton equivalent in Civil War times to $500 in American currency These rails were made of crucible steel, and con tained so large a percentage of car bon that many of them broke durin g the following winter. Despite this fact, the railway company ordered more steel rails from England pay Ing from s135 to s162.50 gold per ton in 500,0 900 ton lots.

CANAL IN NO. Il

A plan is under way in the board
of directors of Imperial Water Com
pany No. 12 for immediate work
looking to the building of the pro-
posed highline canal that will irri-
gate several thousand acres of land
west of the present Westside main.
The board of directors, meeting to-
day at Imperial, will take up with
q firm of San Diego men project of
selling enough stock to warrant the
construction Of the canal.
For several years there has been
talk of the highline canal and sew
eral moves toward it's building have
been started. Two years ago the
water company decided that as soon
as enough stock of the company had
been bought by owners Of land in
the district to be irrigated the COM
pany would build the canal. All
moves so far launched, however, to
sell enough of the stock to pay the
cost of building have not succeeded
although a number of the landown-
ers have bought stock. If this deal
now under consideration goes
through statesmen are to be put into
the field to sell enough stock to put
the canal through. ,-...-

An THIN OU
ATTITUDE: | n

MURDER CASE
Numerous Firebrand An
swers Are Elected From
Jury Candidates Which
Show Intensity of Feeling

Racial prejudices--an interesting
sidelight on how the average Valley
resident regards the Hindu or the
Oriental question--cropped out at the
opening court session in the trial OF
Rulia Singh, prominent Hindu ranch
er, for the murder of Albert Joe, a
resident of the Holtville district.
Here are a few of the answers
registered by prospective jurymen
during the course of their examina-
ton by the battery of attorneys:
81 personally consider it no crime
to murder q Hindu"
"Unless a jurymen's oath required
otherwise, the hanging of the de-
fendant. to my mind, would simply
be getting rid of another undesir-
able.
Between two Hindus, as this case
stands, l am neutral, and could give
fair trial, but if a white man was
defendant on charge of killing a
Hindu it would be vastly different" i"
81 do not regard Hindu as of any
earthly use and as unfit to associate
or live in the same territory as white
men,"
The feeling exhibited was of tol-
Grant bitterness, but indicated the
belief of the witnesses that the Hin
du question was one of the great
est problems facing the Valley and
would require stringent measures for
it's solution. -
Up to late in the afternoon. the
Jury box had not been filled and the
indications were that the panel might
be exhausted before twelve compe-
tent judges could be secured, so
strong was the anti-Hindu feeling
exhibited.
Attorneys for the defense. in their
examination of jurymen. intimated
that they will base their fight for the
acouittal of Rulia Singh on an alibi,
seeking to prove TIE defendant
presence in Holtville at the time of
the murder
Albert Joe, who was shot and killed
while working in the separator house
on his ranch and who died while the
ambulance was being rushed to this
city, married the daughter of Rulia
Singh's Mexican wife by a precious
marriage.
The attorneys in the case are: For
TIE prosecution, District Attorney +.
r. Simon and Joe Seymour, repre-
senting Mrs. Albert Joe, and 0. v.
Wilson and Dan V. Noland, for the
defense.

CONDITION OF
L. A.-EL CENTRO
ROAD PICTURED

The following is the latest bulletin
of the Southern California Automo-
bile Club on the road from Los An
geles to Imperial Valley:
"Several complaints have been re-
ceived during the past few days from
members of the club who have driven
over the Mecca route between Los
Angeles and the Valley. All the COM
paints were made against the poor
conditions existing between Mecca
and Fig Tree Johns. Between these
points the bad conditions consist
chiefly of sandy and rough roads,
the latter caused by heavy travel and
little Improvement work. Our Riv-
erside branch office manager advises
Us That the supervisors of his county
conditions in the vicinity Of the Oasis
N"nch and south Of Mecca, and if
this work is carried out the road
will then be good From Fig Tree
Johns south along the west side OF
the Salton sea is reported to be in
very fair condition. No complaints
have been received regarding condi-
tions on the San Diego Route and
the Imperial Valley. 1t is optional
whether the road by way of the Po-
trero grade or bv Descanso is used.
Both are in good condition and will
remain so until wet weather sets in.
Motorists making this trip should be
advised to get in touch with the
branch office of the Auto Club in
the Chamber of Commerce at San
Diego for the latest information on
road conditions across the Valley"
