PROPOSED TO BUILD new TROOP BANQUET AT CLOSE
ROAD TO ALAMOSA RIVER OF ENLISTMENT CONTEST

George Hook. Mark watrous and
8. p. Mix made preliminary survey
es; on a proposed route to the
Alamosa river which will eliminate
the Switch Back and also the low
road along the reservoir which is at
most times covered by water. The
survey showed a most practicable
route which will necessitate the
building OF only about 570Ofeet new
road. or this. 100 feet can be
built with plow and grader, the bal
ance being blasting OF cliffs and
heavy work. Mr.. Hook has agreed
to donate his labor In the blasting
and Mr.. Watrous has donated his
services In the surveying work.
Funds will be solicited among the
people OF this city and Conejor
county to finish the road.
The lower road has been under
water nearly all the past year and
the 6witchback has been in the
worst condition that II has ever
been. The new proposed road will
be open the year round and greatly
benefit all the people who 20 over

GOLD IN SOLUTION IN
 CALIFORNIA I'D BE
 CHEMICALLY TREATED

RENO, Jan. 1.-Both scientists and prOspectors long have known that the waters of beautiful Mono Lake, Cali fornia, in the high Sierras, contain gold in solution. Many attempts have been made to abstract the pre- cious metal
 II. c. Parker, professor of metal lurgy at Columbia University for a visit, has just come from the lake, number of years, in Reno on a brief where he has been several months conducting experiments of extracting the fine gold by a patent process which he is satisfied can be carried out on an extensive scale.
 Professor Parker has been in con sultation with mining men in Reno and finds they are much interested in his process.

BRITISH FIND JOBS
 FOR IDLE WORKERS

LONDON, Jan. 1-The British Gov ernment is making a drastic attempt to deal with the situation caused by the existence of 100000 unemployed in Britain.
 It aims at putting in operation works which, while giving employment and good wages to vast numbers of unem- ployed, will ultimately prove of re- munerative value to the country.
 Among the adopted proposals are the making of the new arterial roads throughout the country, in particular one from Manchester to Liverpool which will employ 10000 men for many months.
 Loans are to be made to towns throughout the country to assist in putting into operation public works of local utility and improvement. A new system of land drainage is to be put in force in various places which will employ 2OOoo men for 1 twenty weeks.
 l New afforestation will employ 6'ooC workers for five months, and 5.OOO,ooo bounds will be immediately expended on the improvement of the great ra'i- roads.
 ] Powerful electric power stations arc to be set up throughout the country
 Finally, a guarantee of 5o,oOo,ooC hounds will be given to merchants corporations and banks to speed nl the foreign trade of the country
 The Government hopes that initia ting these works will set other trades in operation and so stimulate the gen eral business condition of the country early in the new year.

U. 5. s. IOWA TO END AS NAVY
 TARGET

PHILADELPHIA, an. 1.-The bat tleship Iowa, veteran of the Spanish American War, recently passed down the Delaware from the local Navy yard on it's way to Hampton Roads, there to be put in final shape for it3 last voyage to join the twilight fleet of the American Navy-those obsO- lete battleships which have ended their existence as targets for the guns of their comrades afloat.
 The Iowa enjoys the unique dis tinction of being the only wireless controlled warship in the world, and has demonstrated it's ability to ma neuvcr under orders sent by radio from a control ship miles away
 Heretofore the Navy has lombard ed stationary ships anchored as tar gets. but in February, off Panama, the Iowa will provide a moving Ob- ipctive 10 test the gun pointers skill In her decks arc patches over places where she was hit by dummy bombs of cement hurled from airplanes some time ago in experiments off the Delaware Capes.
 Whether the old warship will only !1st few minutes under th" fire of inc Nayys SuperdrcadpUuSht or will stand the rendiuS smash of the monster shells for a longer period remains to be seen. As planned. there will he intervals between salyos lo permit observations of the dam aga wrought for use in future de- sign of the Governments baulcships.
 The passing of the old ship brings many regrets among naval resory- ists here who served aboard her dur ing the World War.

VICAR BLAMES DIVORCE
 EVIL ON IDLE RICH

LONDON, Jan. It is not the "poor worktngman" who wants di- vorce made easier, but the "crowd of over-dressed, over-fed and under worked men and women who have too much time on their hands and not enough honest employment to keep them morally clean" in the opinion of an irate Bristol vicar who aired his views in a recent letter to the Sunday Express.
 The vicar protested strongly against making divorce easier, con- tending that the reform should come in 'the period before marriage when the choice is made" Once choice has been made and vows taken, the minister contends, the contracting parties should not "squeal."
 Those who would make it easier to sever the bonds of matrimony the vicar asserts are reverting to "the morals of the farmyard and the man. nors of the monkcY'

OUT OF STYLE FOR
 BEEF STOCK

DENVER, Jan. 1.-America's future beefsteak will come from naturally hOrnless steer or COW. Bovine styles change just as surely, if not as in frenqutly and rapidly as feminine modes. Horns are going out of fash ion. The up-to- date "critter" of the range a few years hence won't wear any headgear or carry any arms, sim ply because neither is needed, and nature is taking a hand with the breeder in eliminating the unneces- sary.
 That is the declaration of R. P. Morris, of Evergreen, Colorado, pic. neer breeder of hornlcss Herrforls and yetaan of the Westeu rang
 "Ntth the gradual diminishing of predatory animals from the open range country" Morris told mterna- tional News Service, "horns are al most useless to cattle as chaps, spurs and saddle would be to a New York dry goods salesman They are out of style. are worthless as ornaments, A menace in shipping and nncossit"to double space when worn by aristo- cratic rangr animals that are housed and 'pgftnd during severe weather.
 "De-h0rning is painful operation. Hence, why grow horns?
 War on Horns
 With these facts in view, cattle breeders arc manufacturing 'em' with out horns Exhibits at recent stock oynosition5 bear this out There were more boiled beef cattle at the Inter national Stock Show in Chicago and al the Kansas City Royal this year nf thp heavy exhibits at the National than ever before. Probably one-third Western in Denver early in January will be hOrnIess.
 "!n the Western and Southwestern range country the famous White-face or Hereford. OutvOteS other beef fam lilies almost ten to one. Or1glnaI Hereford stock in America was pos sessed of long, graceful headarms- horns that served and were needed as weapons. That, however, was bofere Uncle Sam joined the plainsmen in a war to exterminate predatory beatst. The wolf - the stockman s greatest enemy of the early days has almost disappeared from the range. Cougar are no longer men ace. Bears are scarce. Coyotes are about the only stockkillers left to cou- ouer. and even the wild dog isn't so destructive as he was ten years ago. Also, more care is given to the calv- ing COWS. They no longer need horns, The order has gone out to disarm the bovine world. and Nature is doing more than her share to carry out the ukase.
 Herefords Popular
 "Herefords, today the most popular range breed in the world, came from Herefordshire. England, and indlca- tions are that the parent stock was bornless. In the early days of white face breeding in America sport or hornless freak. would appear lnire' ouently among the herds as the pro- geny of horned stock.
