IN THE WRONG SPIRIT

To the detsiIe of 4 foreign policy Mr..

before the election and ninee. Concerning

ROAD CONDITIONS
OUT OF Ell CENTRO

This bulletin tells the conditions of
roads only where work is under way
or where the condition of the roads
is abnormal. The following informa-
tion was compiled July 8, 1921:
Coast Route-Open from San Diego
to Eureka.
Ell Centre to Yuma-Planked road
open for traffic and cars now going
through. Travel across the desert
between the end of the pavement
east of Holtville and the beginning of
the plank road is difficult.
San Bernardino to FL Centro-The
oiled surface of Riverside county
road between Banning and Indio is
in fair condition north of Palm
Springs. The dirt road for IL miles
southeast from Palm Springs is in
poor condition. but is being repaired.
Pavement now open to travel be-
tween Indio and Trifolium canal with
only short detours across washes
where county is to construct bridges.
San Diego to Ell Centro-The high
way is open except for a three mile
detour just east of Finn Springs. The
new concrete pavement has been
opened to traffic from Tecate divide
to the top of Mountain Springs grade,
except for a short stretch at the rail-
road crossing near Jacunaba. The east
slope of Mountain Springs grade has
been surfaced, but is narrow and care
is necessary in passing vehicles.

MORE TURKEYS
THAN FOR YEARS

There will be more turkeys on the
market this year than for two years
past, according to c. F. Blair, who
handles poultry and is in his auto over
the valley every day in the year.
1.-TWO years ago the West Side went
to vegetables and the East Side to
cotton. Turkeys and chickens went
glimmering and sharp decreases in
production resulted. The women lost
their pin money and the ranchers
lost their check books. Now they are
coming back to the thing that brings
ready cash. Turkeys can be raised
for 10 cents pound less this year
than last.
"The present market price for
young toms is SO cents, but | hardly
look for so high figure in the fall. II
could be less and still the growers
would make money. l want them to
get all they can. The more the fowls
bring the more money there is in the
valley to spend-that helps us all.
'To give some idea of the change in
two years. In 1919 | bought eggs in
the valley and shipped about As eases
week. There were perhaps 200 ca ses
a week going out of Brawley. They
brought fairly good figures. Then
came the cotton and vegetable change
and now the egg production in I'M
perial valley actually does not amount
TO enough for home consumption. In
the fall and winter that also may get
back to the old basis"

Year After Sending to

The 1921 cantaloupe season Off
cially closed today, with the final hul-
letined shipment on Saturday OF Il
cars of melons The total shipments
for the season We're 10,403 cars. as
against 879S cars for last season, ac-
cording to Horticultural Commissioner
f. w. Waite. There will be snail
shipments by individual growers for
several days yet, but the office of the
bureau of markets is closed for the
year.
+. w. Waite and his corps of as
sstants will perhaps view with no ex-
treme regret the close of the canta-
loupe season, as the men have been
kept on the move almost continuously
since the season first opened about the
middle of last May, making inspections
of the different shipments, and exert
ing much effort to fight the aphis pest
in the valley.
Indications are that large acreage
will be planted to cantaloupe in the
valley next season, the results of this
seasons work being very great in
centive to the growers.
The county horticulturalist with his
assistants has done some very COM
merdable work in controlling the aphis
which for time threatened very large
acreage in the northern part of the
valley. One of the most effective
methods of fighting the pest was by
the use of nico-dust, which has been
founl very efficient both for the Grad
icating of the aphis, and the grape leaf
hopper.
Shipments of cantaloupes out of the
Ncloland community We're in excess

| PITTSBURGH, July 18.-Six per-
| sons are injured. number of convicts
wounded and ten factory buildings are
in ashes as the result Of riot inside
the walls Of the Western Penintentiary
located in the edge Of Sewickley, a
suburb.
Early this afternoon five riot
alarms were turned in from the peni-
tentiary, one right after the other,
which called nine fire companies and
all of the police reserves and deputy
sherjffs in the city to the scene.
Thelreports were that the prisoners,
some 1900 in number, had revolted
refused to work and when the prison
guards had tried to force them back
to the cell houses had set fire to the
workshops.
A Gordon of police was thrown
around the big institution and extra
guards placed at every entrance while
the fire lines We're established further
back to keep the crowds away from
the prison.
Great pillows Of smoke and sheets
, Of flame shot into the air above the
prison walls and above the roar of the
,, conflagration and the sound of work
ing fire engines. could be heard shrieks
and cries from inside the walls. Short
ly after the extra police and deputy
sheriffs arrived to assist the guards
in controlling the prisoners, a number
Of the latter were taken to the emer-
pency hospital in a distant corner of
the prison for treatment for injuries
Many citizens offered their services
o the warden to aid and they were
sworn in as deputy sheriffs and placed
on guard outside, while regular Of
ficers were rushed inside the walls.
The firemen finally succeeded in con-
trolling the blaze but not before ten
of the buildings were reduced to ashes.
Governor Sproule has been telegraphed
by Warden Francies to send two troops
of state police to guard the prison
tonight. At last reports the riot had
been quieted.

Claimants TO MOneU offered for
CAPTURE of Roy Gardner Anx-
iOusly AWaiting Payment.
(Ry Associated Presa)

SAN FRANCISCO, July 18.-At
least four people are waiting for Uncle
Sam to grow five months older and
then follow the proverbial example of
crusty old bachelor uncles by leaving
them some money, which they hope
will be as much as $4,000. They are
the persons who helped captured Roy
Gardner, the mail robber, at Eoseville,
Cal, May 23.
The claimants are Chief Special
Agent Daniel O'Connell and Special
Agent Barney McShane of the South
read police force at Roseville, and
crn Pacific, w. H. Locke of, the rail
Mrs. Verde Pitsos, wife Of a Rosevlle
restaurant proprietor.
To make sure that all claimants to
the standing reward of mot exceed
ing $4,000 to any postal employe eX-
cept a postoffice inspector or any
other person who brings in mail
robber, may have opportunity to pre-
sent their case, the government waits
six months after his conviction before
deciding who gets the money.
One night in May, Mrs. Pitsos, no.

counter. bore resemblance to the pic

Sacramento newspaper, handed him
the paper and called his attention to
the resemblance.
''That fellow is long way from

customer remarked. After he had
finished his meal and departed, how
ever, Mrs. Pitsos reported the cir
cumstances to the authorities and pos !
office inspectors advised her to notify
them if he appeared again.
The night of May % she reported
that the man she suspected had eaten

OWNED CAR

SMASH
San Diego Naval Aviators in
Automobile Registered in.
Name of Mrs. r. Swearin-
gen Arrested in Santa
Monica.

In Santa Monica yesterday the quick
wit Of a police officer probably saved
many persons from injury, when he
sprang on the running board of a
wildly driven automobile and steered
machine, which is registered in the
name of Mrs. Ralph Swearingen, wife
of Calexico architect, was wrecked.
The machine was occupied by four
naval aviatOrs from San Diego, VINO
had gone north TO take part in the air
circus given in Los Angeles Saturday.
The men arrested and the charges
placed against them are:
Guy Mclaughlin, driving an auto-
mobile while iAtssiieated; H. W Baugh,
disturbing the peace; L. w. Brown,
disturbing the peace; F. w. Mead, dis
turbing the peace. They will be tried
in the Santa Monica police court Fri-
day. The car is being held by the po-
lice for Identification.
Reports reached the Santa Monica
station that the aviators were driving
recklessly through the streets. Word
was sent out to" capture them. Patrol
man E. w. Riggles sighted the quartet
at Marine street and the Speedway.
He climbed on the running board and
commanded Mclaughlin, who was
driving to stop. Instead Mclaughlin
drove faster, directly into the crowded
Ocean Front.
Riggles seized the wheel, diverted
the car from the crowd and drove it
into the building occupied by the La
Petite theater. The machine was bad
ly smashed and the occupants shaken
up. Officers Simpson, Stanford, Dice
and Shaw came to Riggles' aid and
