BEE RIVER CUT
ORDERED BY
DISTRICT
BOARD
Board Also Orders Repairs
on OckersOn Leyee Which
Will Cost More Than A
Quarter of A Million;
Many G.. M. O's Passed.

The irrigation board this morning
ordered the cut through to the Bee
river, which it is estimated will
cost approximately 100000. I'm
provements on the Ockers0n levee
were ordered which will cost more
than quarter of million.
The cut through to the Bee river
is expected to lower the bed of the
river several feet and take it COM
pletely away from the Volcano Lake
levee and in this way reduce the
menace to the irrigated lands in the
valley.
General Manager F. N. Cronholm
this morning was unprepared to give
exact figures as to the number of feet
the river bed will be lowered. He
said that the Volcano Lake levee
would be far from the new course of
the river and expressed the belief
that this is the quickest way for the
valley to obtain Immediately relief
from the flood menace.
The ordering of more than $3.50, 900
spent on Ockerson levee will provide
for the construction of railroad
from the present terminus over some
fairly good embankments to spot
further below where for two miles
there is urgent need of repair work.
TIE sum includes the repair work.
The repairing of the Ockerson levee
will go fartowards providing the ne
cessary bulwark between the waters
and the lands of the valley.
The board also passed large num-
ber of bills during the morning ses-
sion.

GAS FOR ALL IN
 MEX. OIL FIELDS

NEW YORK.-Gasoline for every motor car owner in the United States all year round, and then some, is for. seen by William Albert White, inven- tor of the low pressure oil-feeding sys- tenn which has been installed in 700 ships. in the Mexican oil fields.
 The present daily potential output of Mexico, says White, is around 762- 0S0, or 27S,160,000 barrels a year, and this out of very small percen- tage of the petroliferous area.
 Recalling that the annual consump. tion of gasoline is about 100,000,O0O barrels, this estimate sounds reas surfing to the motoring public.
 Besides, White does not believe that the increase of oil-burning ships will exhaust the supply Of petroleum from which gasoline is obtained, but sees a great future producer in Mex leo.
