THE Big Punch the new William
Fox production starring the popular
Buck Jones, as the feature attraction
at the Murray Theatre for a three days
run, and Judging from its cordial re-
ception it is TO be set down as another
big Buck Jones success.
The Big Punch tells a mighty in
teresting story--the story of mans
heroic effort to restore his soul, which
had become embittered by term in
prison for a crime he did not com NIT.
Having seen the light, to secure re-
venge on those that wronged him he
assumes the garb Of a circuit rider and
the manner in which he accomplishes
his ends provides many thrilling
moments Of a sort seldom seen on the

In the leading role Buck Jones sur

English Actors Would

LONDON, April 1S.-The Actors As

The kind of manager who is to be
hunted down is the person who with
little or no capital takes out a COM

the bogus manager takes what he can
from the receipts and departs, leaving

MANY MEX|CANS
WILL co HUNGRY
BECAUSE Of TAX
increase Of Import Duties on
Necessities VIII Make Retail
Food Prices PrOhibitiUe.

In an effort to stimulate the produc-
ton of flour, sugar, meats and fresh
fruits and vegetables the Federal
government of Mexico has increased
the import duty on these articles to a
point where the prices will be almost
prohibitive if they are purchased in
the United States and exported to
Mexico through the usual channels,
according to members Of the Mexicali
Chamber of Commerce.
The duty on fresh meats and canned
fish has been increased 25 per cent
and on sugar and lard 100 per cent I'M
der the order received yesterday,
which is retroactive to June 8. About
. cents a pound increase was placed
on fruits and vegetables.
Conditions in Lower California are
such that the higher duty will force
many of the laboring class to forego
the use Of the articles, because of
the higher prices, and it will be the
incentive for a great deal of snug
Cling, business men Of MeXicai be-
lieVC.
In some sections of Mexico the pro
duction of sugar, flour, meats, fruits
and vegetables is equal to the demand,
but in Lower California the efforts of
the farmers have been turned to other
products which are productive of
greater profits and it is to remedy this
condition that the order was issued
it is said.
The consensus of opinion along the
border is that the hioher imnort on
ties will have bad effect in Mexicali,
and some even predict that unless the
order is nullified that MANY residents
of Lower California will try to move
their residence to CaleXico and other
valley cities in order to escape pay
ment Of the high tax on the necessities.

TELLS Why
COTTON IS
HELD
General Freight Agent Of
Southern Pacific Explains
Bill of Lading Rules Gov
erning Shipments Over
Other Lines.

The complaint of number of I'M
perlal Valley cotton shippers that the
Southern Pacific railroad was placing
an unnecessary burden Of expense up
on them and also delaying the handling
of cotton from the originating point
of shipment to the COMPRESS at Los
Angeles harbor has been answered by
H. c. Hallmark, general freight agent
Of the company; with tns following
statement:
THE bill of lading laws" says Hall
mark, requires that carriers deliver
shipments covered by order bills of
lading only on surren6e- u the orig
inal bill of lading properly indorsed.
Under the tariff similar to those
used by all other roads in the United
States the term diversion or recon
signment means among other things,
any instructions given by the con-
signor, consignee or owner necessary
to effect delivery, which requires a
change in billing or an additional
movement of the car or both.
''iT the absence Of bill of lading
we are under the law. prevented from
moving the car to the compress or
elsewhere, as such would constitute a
delivery. We must hold the car until
the bill of lading is surrendered. On
such surrender an additional move
ment of the car is required to the
compress, this constituting a diversion
and necessitating charge of from
$3.50 to $3.50 per car, according to
the length Of time before the delivery
of the bill of ladng.
1--WE would much prefer to be able to
place ears for delivery immediately
upon arrival rather thun ~ our hold
tracks and collect $3.50 or $3.50 diver
sion charges. | therefore urge ship
pers to be prompt in presenting the
bills of lading so that the Southern Pa
citic will not be compelled to make that
charge.
"'or the purpose of moving cotton
through Los Angeles harbor we Sc
cured authority from the interstate
commerce commission to publish a
pressiOn-in-transit privilege on
cotton at Imperial so that the CaleXi1
co cotton could be promptly handled

trio railway al San Pedro for move

LEVEL.
Estimated That Peak of the
Flood in Colorado Will Not
Reach Flow of Over 140,-
600 Second Feet.

Although the volume of water in the
Colorado river is increasing steadily
the water level at the Ockerson levee
today was lower than it has been for
several days, indicating that the river
is securing below the levee, according
to a report from General Manager
Cronholm of the irrigation district.
The guage at Yuma showed rise.
Aside fro;n the increase of about
5000 second feet in the river dis
charge no change was reported from
the levee district Wet spots on the
levee show virtually no change since
yesterday and the seepage water Oh
the land side of the dyke has increased
but slightly, giving more optimistic
feeling regarding the safety Of the
protective works.
Reports from Denver Yesterday
were to the effect that the SHOWS are
melting rapidly and that maximum
flood of about 1885, 00 second feet is
expected to result, but persons who
are conversant with the river condi-
tons believe that even with that much
water in the Colorado river that the
,evee will hold.
General Manager CrOnholm stated
recently that he believed the Ockerson
levee would hold river of 1000
second feet, which engineers say will
not be exceeded at the levee should
the flood peak in the upper Colorado
reach 10000 feet. 1t is estimated
that the river loses about $4,000 sec
ond feet of its flood water before it
reaches the irrigation district works
which would make the peak of the
flood now coming but 100000 secon(
feet
