FOR VALLEY ROUTE

through Imperial valley has won Il
powerful supporter in Thomas Mat
took, state highway engineer of Ari-
zona, according to Lin F. Shaw of Holt
vile, who recently made a trip to Yuma
with MattOck and Col. Ed Fletcher in
Fletcher 8 car. Mattock has heretofore
favored the northern route for the
Bankhead highway, but after crossing
this part of the state, Shaw says he
expressed himself as highly impressed
with the valley and found the sand
hills nothing like the handicap he had
been informed they were. Mattock also
told Shaw that 20 percent of the Bank
head highway between Phoenix and
Yuma would be paved by January l.
He intimated that the Bankhead
highway may terminate in two coast
branches, one through Imperial valley
and the other over the northern sur
vey favored by Los Angeles.
Shaw says the party left Holtvillc
at $50 p. m., took time for leisurely
dinner in Yuma and he was back home

MEXICAN CARVED in
CAMP QUARREL

Following an argument at the con-
struction camp of the county highway
commission on the road south OF
Seeley this morning, Juan Santos, n
Mexican, was severely though not fat
ally cut about the neck and chest with
a knife by another Mexican whose
name could not be learned. The assail-
ant fled from the camp toward the
Mexican line and deputy sheriffs fol-
lowing his trail, lost it in the sand
wastes north of Signal Mountain.

other Mexicans at the camp failed to
reveal any information regarding the
quarrel or the name of the man who
did the cutting. 7. White, proprietor
of the White Garage at Seeley, who is
also deputy sheriff, brought Santos
to Ell Centre, where he was given atten-
tion by DR.. G. s. Brooks, and later
taken ITO the El@Centro hospital. The
knife wielder was meagrely described
as short and wearing blue overalls and
jumper. The officers believe he sue
ceeded in making his way across the
line into Mexico, though they are still
conducting search for him.
