YUMA WINS in
HIGHWAY MAPS

The August issue of "The
Stranger published in Los An
geles, contains a map of the United
States, showing the various trans
continental highways.
The magazine shows the southern
route across the continent through
Phoenix, Yuma, Ell Centre and San
Diego to Los Angeles and other
coast points, and no mention is
made of the so-ealled phoenix
Blythe-Los Angeles route.
This Is taken by local citizens
who have been working for the
HoltvilleYuma highway to mean
that the belief that the road
through Imperial Valley to Yuma
is the best way, is gradually gain
ing strength in Los Angeles, which
has heretofore been considered fav-
orable to the Blythe route.

Only Anthracite State
It Is His Duty

HARRISBURG, Ia, August 27.-
Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania
today served notice on the anth-
ratite miners and operators that
their differences must be settled
and the threatened coal strike
averted.
Unless this is done, he told them,
the state of Pennsylvania would
use every means to protect the pub
lies interest.
Pinchot did not advance any plan
for breaking the existing deadlock
between the two parties. He only
! asked that they agree to confer with
him privately-the miners this af-
ternoon and the operators tomor
row morning.
Accept Conference Proposal
Samuel ID. Warriner, chairman of
the anthracite operators, immediate
ly accepted Pinchot's offer.
Phillip Murray, first vice presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers,
acting leader in the absence of
John L.. Lewis, also formally agreed.
The governor, speaking to the
four representatives of the miners
and fonr of the operators in the
big gold reception room Of the
capitol, stressed the needs of the
public.
The rights of the miners to a
fair wage must be accepted, he
pointed out. The rights of the
operators to fair profit, cannot be
violated.
Urges Rights of People
"But The general public is a
party to this controversy, he said,
"and its rights, as well as the rights
of the other two parties must be
represented and recognized.

Laborer Finds
100000; May
Be Bergdoll's

HAGERsTOWN, Md, August
27.-Penniless yesterday, pos
SCISSOR of 100000 today, Lee
Houser, laborer, is going about
his usual tasks, steadfastly re-
fusing to tell where he has
cached his money. ~
Houser, just like a story book
character, found some real
buried treasure. He discovered
it in tin box by a roadside
while he was engaged in the
prosaic task Of digging with a
pick.
At first he said the tin box
contained only $4,000. Later
he said there was that sum in
gold and 100000 more in green
backs. He refused to divulge
where he had concealed his
PRIZE.
The belief here is that the
box found by Houser is the one
buried by Grover Cleveland
Bergdoll, draft dodger, when he
was making preparations to flee.
Bergdoll escaped from custody
when he obtained permission to
come to Hagerstown and search
for the treasure.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81
Denial of the application Of the
Staley system Of electric rail
ways Of Arizona for authority
to construct and operate an cleo
trio railway in Arizona, New
Mexico, Colorado and Califor-
mia, was recommended today in 1
a tentative report rendered the
interstate commerce commits
sion by it's attorney examiners.
The application has been op-
posed by the Southern Pacific
and Santa Fe railroads which
already operate in the same
territory.
The tentative report recommends
ing denial of the application gave
among its grounds for the recon-
mendation the assertion that "the
resources of the country were not
sufficient to justify the project. =
1t was also asserted that the ap-
plieant s estimate of revenue was
excessive and based on rates shown
to be too high.
The staley system proposed, in
addition to the railroads in the
United States, to build sixty-six
miles of railroad in Mexico, where
a port would be established on the
Gulf of California, and the appli-
cant operate fleet of vessels in
connection with the railroad.
The railroad referred to in
the above dispatch is the one
for which the California state
railroad commission recently
granted permit. It was to be
constructed from point east
, of Yuma in Arizona TO Holt
vile, Brawley, and through the
Coacchella Valley to the orange
belt and on to tidewater, with
