Especial to "1he Oasis")

CITY OF MEXICO, January TO-
Yesterday and today there are re-
peated and continued in the earth
quake and volcano afflicted regions of
the states of Vera Cruz and Puebla,
equally terrifying and fatal manifes-
tations of the seismic forces that have
created so much disturbance, adding
to the already appalling list of loss
of life and property, and causing des-
truction of new hecatombs of sacri-
flee.
The center of this seismic distur-
bance is conjectured in the immediate
vicinity of the peak of Mount Oriz-
aba, and it is determined by the ma
tional observatory in this city to be
about 242 kilometers distant. The
geological Institute declares that the
report lacoting the center in Ajusco
mountain is erroneous.
Saturday commission of seven
geological engineers will be sent by
the Geological Institute to visit the
sites of Cerro Perote, Orizaba Noun

new BRIDGE ON
STATE HIGHWAY
TO CROSS ella
RIVER
Bridge Which Was Left
Aside Is To Be Extended
To Span New Channel
Followed

The State Highway Department,
has issued a call for bids for the con-
struction of bridge across the Gila
River near San Carlos.
A bridge was constructed across the
Gila River at this point about seven
years ago, but Immediately after its
completion the river cut new chan
mel around the south end of the bridge
leaving the bridge high and dry with
500 feet of river between the South
bank and the end of the bridge.
Repeated tefforts have been made
by the Boards of Supervisors of Gila
and Graham Counties and the State
Highway Department to have the In
dian Department extend this bridge
to the present bank, and at one time
Congress made an appropriation of
$4,000 for this work but the Indian
Department did not see fit to proceed
with this work and the appropriation
was allowed to lapse. An appro-
priation was made by the Legislature
in 1919 to complete this bridge.
Since this time the State Highway
Department has been endeavoring to
secure Federal Aid on this project, o,
to secure a special appropriation
through the Indian Department. How
ever, no success has accompanied
these efforts. and the Highway De-
partment considers this crossing of
sufficient Importance to proceed at
once without waiting for federal as
sistance.
The plans for the bridge call for
combination wood and steel struc-
ture, the compression members being
made Of wood and the tension mem
bers of steel. This type of /construc-
tion is much cheaper than an all
steel structure and if properly main
tanned will last as long as needed.
There has been a great deal of un-
certainty as to the plans of the Fed
eral Government regarding the con-
struction of the San Carlos Dam. If
this dam is constructed to a height
of 200 feet, the present bridge site
would be submerged, but no definite
information is available regarding
what is likely to be done regarding
the San Carlos project, and it is
therefore considered inadvisable to

June Is, Major Roy c. Vandercook,
who organized the Michigan State Po-
lice, gave up his place Of command
and was succeeded by Major Robert
e. Marsh, formerly captain in charge
of the upper peninsula troop. 1t had
originally been intended that this
change should take place May /, but
various matters of duty-including
the conduct of the Brown murder case
at Mt. Clemens-caused the former
commander to retain his post longer
than he had planned.
June 16, Robert K. Marsh took
command of the Michigan State Pc
lice and at that time the new DISPOSE
ton and assignment Of officers and
troops was announced. The force I'M
der Major Marsh consists Of the head
quarters troop at East Lansing and
four field troops with headquarters
at Negaunee, Grand Rapids, Flint and
Traverse City.
Captain F. w. High Is in command
Of the headquarters troop and In

Captain A. A. Downing is in charge
of Troop /. Detachments are located

themselves In the state police service
Some have been In the regular army
others In the National Guard and reg
ular army, and others ip the national
army.
The fact that promotions have beer
made from the ranks and that officers
have won their way to the top by
their own ability, has done much tc
increase the spirit and morale of the
force, and the new leaders have Civ
en- an incentive to those below then
in rank to seek promotion by the
same means. AS long as the remun
Grafton of the officers OF the state
police is lower than what they nigh
be expected to earn In civil life there
will be changes In the service from
time to time and the men in the rank
can look forward to securing commits
sions later as they earn them by brav
cry and ability to do their duty wei
