LEAVE IT TO WILSON

Senator Ashurst' motion be- fore the Senate, requesting that Preident Wilson take up ne- gotiations with Mexico for the purchase of Lower California, has been laid on the table. The purchase of Lower California would be great boon to Lower California, itself, and the land purchased would add greatly to the wealth of this nation. Pos session of the coasts of the Gulf of California would also help in the defense of our nation against possible attack by way of this gulf.
 1t is a crying shame that land so rich as that in this part of Mexico should remain so large ly< unproductive at this time when millions of people on the earth are doomed to die of starvation. And yet there may be complications that would make such a purchase on the part of this country unwise. It is safe to leave it to President Wilson, He is in possession of all the facts and will know best what should be done.

WRECKING THE OLD
 ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT

Messrs Fisher and Thompson of Los Angeles are wrecking the old electric light plant. They secured a permit from the mayor to do some dynamit- ing and have created some ad- verse criticism because a num- Der of panes of glass have been broken in the neighborhood On protest they have reduced the size of their explosive charges and have agreed to in- demnify parties interested for any slight damages caused.
 This firm has had years of experience in wrecking and say they have had very little trou- ble in making good. Natural ly residents in the vicinity are somewhat annoyed, but the work is practically finished.
 The firm paid $1,5OO for the wrecked material, and will clear a tidy sum as one of the boilers is said to be worth $500 alone.

ATTEMPT MADE ID
 BREAK INTO HOUSE:

Early Sunday morning a rather tall man and a boy of about IA years of age were seen prowling around the house occupied by Frank Adams near the Silvernail hall. MT. Adams had been sick in bed for some days and had left his door un- locked so that friends might |call on him. He warned the providers to "vamoose" and suppossing they had done so, turned over in bed and to sleep. Soon afterward he was startled to see the boy crawling on all fours toward the bed. Adams left the bed on the opposite side, and in his weakened con- dition staggered against table, then reaching under his pillow, seized his "gat"s and fired to frighten the intrnders, and to attract :, attention. In vestigation showed the manhad not entered. and Adams went to the door and called for Dr. Melick.
 The Doctor showed" in heavy marching order.
 Meantime the man and boy had disappeared and a tcle- phone message was sent in to Marshal Burns. Burns, as us ual, was prompt in responding to the s. O. S., and after search ing around awhile ran across his quarry coming out of the al ley entrance behind Duffy Bros store. He asked their business and was told by the man that he was a machinist, come to accept a position, and that they were looking for some, place to sleep. =.
 MT. Burns told them in his persuasive manner that 1t was a rather fishy story, as there were plenty of places to secure, rooms. The story is too long to tell, but is a very good one. The suspects were taken to a room and placed under surveillance by Burns until he could investi- gate their story.
