alluded to the Rockefeller merger

told how his department sought to

prices for those commodities. He

more than 80 miles an hour.
At dusk last night according to
wireless messages received from the
craft, the Officers were on the point
of turning the dirigibIe back to-
wards san Diego, TO fly with the
strong winds, because of the fuel
supply rapidly becoming exhausted.
The ship was "ucking a terrific
wind and making less than 20 miles
an hour, as she ncarcd the Oregon
line from California.
Wisdom Of the decision of the of
fiecrs to hold to the course for q
short time longer was soon demon
strated by the rapidly changing
weather conditions.
About midnight the navy airship
left her natural environment, the
sea. She took across the coast range
of mountains into the willamette
Valley, where, sheltered from the
ocean winds, she sped along through
the night.
Scattered reports from the valley
told how the Shenandoah. seen
above the fog, with the moonlight
shining on her siIvery shape, was
sailing swiftly northward.
She passed over the sleeping cities
of the valley and got only few
blinks out of Portland, Ore, where
she arrived and crossed the Colum-
bia river at 1870 a. m.

SEND WIRES OF
PROTEST AGAINST
OPENING BORDER

That the nine o clock closing re-
gulations at the border will not be
modified without strenuous opposi-
tion is shown by the fact that the
County Ministerial Association, at
its recent meeting, sent kilograms
TO Mack enzie Moss, assistant to
the secretary of the treasury in
Washington, asking that the present
closing rule be continued.
CaleXico busin ess interests,
through their chamber of commerce,
are waging an active fight to have
the line reopened again, claiming
that gambling in MeXicali has been
eliminated.
Various churches in FL Ccntro,
IIoltville, and other valley cities
have also sent strong wires of pro-
test against resembling present re-
gulations.
Action by, civic bodies will pro-
badly be taken in the near future,
as they have been asked to aid in
the rapidly growing movement to
have conditions remain as they are
at present.
A plea went forward to Wash
ington yesterday to Secretary of
State Hughes not only asking that
the nine o clock closing be kept in
effect, but urging strongly that q
commission be named to further re-
gulate smuggling and vice problems
along the border. This action was
sought by Edwin E. Grant of San
Francisco, president of the Califor-
nia State Law Enforcement League.
