approached, one coming down each
hill. The drivers of both cars ap-
piled their brakes with the result
that they collided slightly and
swerved. crowding the Ford off the
road and into the bushes across the
ditch. No one of the three cars was
damaged very much.
At 2;3O a REQ sedan from New
Yorw state got into difficulties on
the same hill as the result Of the
sudden application Of brakes. This
car containing couple named
Hourne from Granville, N. Y. was
going toward Augusta when Mr..
Hourne applied the brakes to slow
down the car in order to pass the
wrecked army truck in safety. The
REQ swerved sharply and the front
wheels climbed so high on the steep
bank beside the road that the car
rolled over backward and rested with
it's wheels in the air.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hourne escaped from
the interior of the car by breaking a
window and crawling out. The auto
mobile was badly damaged by the
accident as the top was crushed and
it caught fire after overturning. Ell
lott Goodwin, Arthur Freeman and
William Helm of this city attached
to the Quartermaster Department,
NJ. N. g., were at that time working
on the wrecked army truck and they
went to the rescue Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hourne and assisted in extinguish-
ing the flames. Mr.. and Mrs. Hourne
were not injured and continued their
trip to Portland in car which was
passing.
This hill Is one of the most dan
gerous hills in this section of the
country in wet weather, as several
accidents have occurred before at
that point. People who are forced to
travel on that road in the rain should
be especially careful at the point in
order to avoid further accidents of

How many residents of the State
of Maine could qualify for member
ship in MAINE Three Quarter Gen.
tury Club?" In other words, how
many Maine men and women have
reached and passed the age Of rs
years?
With Governor Brewster's permis-
sion, it was announced Monday that
the Maine city or town which files the
longest list of residents above the
age of 75-in proportion to population
will be awarded prize. The Gov
ernor will shortly announce the names
of a state committee to receive, and
tabulate the returns and to decide
upon the prize winning city or town.
AS a result of several statistical
studies announced by the Maine Pub
lie Health Association 1t has been
shown that approximately 46 per cent
or nearly one-half of the deaths In
Maine occur above the age of 65. 1t
has also been shown that the average
length Of life in Maine is seven and
one-half years longer than the aver
age for the United States registration
area.
Governor Brewster has taken a keen
interest in the comparative figures
gathered by the Maine Public Health
ferences with representatives of the
association on this subject.
This has led to the announcement
that an attempt will be made to have
volunteer census of the state
through the various cities and towns
for the purpose of listing all residents
of Maine who are seventy-five years
of age or older, and who will thus
automatically qualify for member
ship in Maine Three-Quarter Cen
tury Club"
Only three items OF information
will be required-the name, the ad-
dress and the date OF birth or All
Maine residents so listed. Any inter-
esting bits Of information regarding
the career of any Maine man or

LOCAL BANK IS
SHOWING HIGHEST
VALLEY INCREASE

Reports of the last fiscal Year
show that the Increase in business
in Pacific Southwest branch banks
in Imperial Valley has been greater
in the FL Centre branch than in any
other. Every deposit branch has
grown and there are fewer loans and
more success.
This is due, in port, to the cen
tralizatiOn of commercial activities
in FL Centre (which grow more con-
centrated every year. The canta-
loupe, lettuce and grape industries
more and more are making their
headquarters in this city and are
doing it particularly since the Dun
lack hotel in Bfawley burned.
The FL Centre clearings yesterday
amounting to 5000, ,297.49 was due
to the warrants issued by the I'M
perial Irrigation district to the sum
of $4,000.
Prospects, according to w. l.. Gar
rett of this bank, look excellent. He
feels certain that there will be am
pie to loan in the fall for legitimate
business.

tion by her attire, being dressed in

at the boy scout camp.
While here, he checked up ON the

found that only about 20 had signed
M thus far. This makes il i'm
pcrative, McCrorv declares. to short
on the session to one week only and
he urges all scouts who had planned
to attend the last week of camp to
note the change in plans.
This means that coming week
starting Sunday, July 26, will be
the last week of summer camp. as
it would not be practical to oper-
ats the camp longer with such Il
small attendance.
The boys who are in camp this
week are making fine progress in
scoutcraft. he reports, and many

SEARCHING MAIN
CANAL FOR BODY
OF MYSTERY MAN
Body Passed Through
Headgate;. May Be
l.. A. Man

Search of the main canal of the
Imperial Irrigation District for a
body believed to be that of John A.
Smith, missing Los Angeles man, is
being made today. according to in
formation received in this city, ad-
vising that the body of oman was
netleed passing through the head
gate at Andrade this morning, by a
district employee.
Deputy Sheriff Sterling Oswalt,
who was on his way from Yuma to
FL Centre, heard the report that a
mans body had been seen and went
to Asdrade to aid in the search. He
remained there for an hour but no
further trace of the body was seen
According to the story as told to
Oswalt, an employee of the district
WIS walking near the diversion dam,
when he noticed what appeared to
be human body in the Colorado
river. Not being sure the man
watched and saw the object caught
IN n current and carried through the
gates into the main canal. AS it
passed through the gate he stated he
noticed it to be man S BODY and
thoegh re watched for it to show up
In the canal, it did not do so.
The workman notified his super
iors and men were at once put along
the canal to watch for the body,
and. if possible. recover it before
1t passed through the canal into
Mexico.
Smith, who is engaged in the
real estate business at Los Angeles,
has been missing from Yuma, where
he was on a business trip, since last
Thursday. Early this week his car
was found abandoned on Il street in
Yuma near the river, and it was at
first thought that he had gone fish
ing aDd probably fallen in the riv-
er./
THE police made an investigation,
and as the ear was found near Il
tramp rendevouz, the belief is held
that Smith may have been killed
by tramps who wished to rob him.
and his body thrown into the river.
At the time of going to press no
further report on the affair had been
received in this city.
