POWER CO. WIN
BY One VOTE

A municipal election was held in
Minot on Tuesday of this week, to
determine whether the Montana-Da-
kota Company should be permitted to
sell natural gas to the public there
in preference to the Minot Gas Com
pany who holds a franchise. More
than 1900 votes were cast through
out, counting both sides, kept even,
and the official count gives the Mon
tana-Dakota Power Co., the victory
by n vote. Thisi s a very ~unsatis-
factory victory as it will undoubted-
ly bring on Court litigation.

ito be paid from collection of the s.
cent gasoline tax. The money will be
used as the states portion Of federal
aid highway finance.
Although the state highway COM
mission did not allot any funds to
Sheridan county at their regular
meeting last week, it is understood
that some action will be taken at the
meeting in February. or the March
meeting, as only a fourth Of the con
tracts have been let so far.
We have learned since that time
that last Thursday there was a repre-
sentation of northeastern Montana
that met with the Highway commits
sion and obtained from them a pro-
mise to complete the bridge across the
Missouri river near Culbertson. and
that this work will in all, probabili-
ties be completed this year. The rep
resentation from this territory con-
sisted of Frank French, chairman Of
the Sheridan County Board of Coun-
ty commissioners, Sen. J. w Schnitz-
Ter of Froid, William Stahl and Vic
tor Wilson of Culbertson. This means
that this territory will get a great
deal of roadwork to complete the
Canadian Mexican highway which is
now practically an assured fact.

FAIR DIRECTOR
ASKS PUBLIC TO
ATTEND RACES

In urging all Imperial Valley peo-
pie to make special effort to at
tend the auto races at the Imperial
Fairgrounds Speedway Sunday aft
ernoon, l feel that am doing more
than merely asking them to patron
ize a county project.
These particular races are ranked
as the best ever arranged outside of
the indianapolis 500-mile classic it
self. A number of the drivers and
machines that will appear here Sum
day afternoon are classed with the
best in the country. Several of them
have hung up enviable records at
Indianapolis in other years, and as
long as they are racing, will be seri-
Gus contenders for national cham
pionships.
Imperial Valley people who have
seen these men in action know that
there is no "hokum" in our claim
that we are to have the outstand-
ing 100-mile race of the season.
Imperial county has put a lot of
money into its fairgrounds and par
tcularly in its race track. The track
is considered by A.A.A. officials to
be one of the best in this part OF
the country. 1t has an official, re-
cognized A.A.A. rating. Records
made at Imperial stand as official
all over the world.
Another consideration in making
this appeal for your attendance at
Sundays races is that the activities
of the Imperial County Fair asso-
citation are directly interesting to
every resident in the county. The
equipment at the fairgrounds rep
resents heavy investment. To JUS
tify that outlay the fair board is
undertaking to provide the people
with the best entertainment possi-
BILE. 1t is endeavoring to bring to
the valley the finest talent it can
secure In any particular field Of en-
tertainment offered.
The object of such program is
twofold. First, we are trying to give
our people the finest programs OBJ
tainable anywhere in the country,
and second, by such nationally sig

and the activities have been spon-
sored by the home economies club
of the East Side High school, Mrs.
Exile Lee Hampton, head of the de-
partment has given much time and
thought to the proper observance of
the week and expresses apprecia-
ton of the hearty cooperation of
citizens and organizations. Plans
are being laid for another years
work and bigger and better pro
gram will be given. DR.. Fox of the
health department, who has taken
part in similar exercises in other
parts of the United States expresses
the hope that the entire city will
in another year actively support the
effort. Much good has resulted from
the weeks activities.

PRODUCTION OF
AUBURN AUTOS
GROWS STEADILY

E. l.. Cord, chairman of the board
of the Auburn Automobile Com
pany, announced recently that the
company had shipped 5649 Auburn
and Cord cars in March, an all
time record for any month. In
March 1890 Auburn shipments were
2499 cars.
Cord pointed out that the March
shipments were 81 per cent of the
total number of cars the company
built and delivered in the first quar-
ter of the present fiscal year end
ing February 28 last.
During January, February and
March of this year Auburn's total
shipments have been 11,718 units
and by April 10, Cord said, the COM
pany will have shipped more cars
than during the entire year of 1890
There has been a steady rise in
the company's shipments since the
first of this year and Cord stated
that check-up throughout the
country shows that Auburn dealers
and distributors have the smallest
stock of new and used cars on hand
of any spring season.
Untitled orders on April are in
excess of 1000 over the number
carried over from February into
March, and he anticipated a pro-
duction of 5000 cars as the mimi
mum for April
Present production of the Auburn
plant at Connersville is averaging
upward of 200 cars daily and the
additional plant facilities at Aub-
urn, Ind. are now producing around
65 cars daily. Production at Con-
norsville will be increased to 240
Auburn cars daily by. April 10, he
said. Additional equipment recently
added at the Auburn plant will
make possible production of more
than 100 cars daily, bringing total
daily production of Auburn cars to
$40. This is in addition to the reg
ulals Cord front drive production of
the Auburn plant which is in ex-
cess of shipment of these models
last year.
All plants of the company are
now operating at capacity with
many departments working night
shifts.

HEALD WINNER
in FIRST STEP
TO FREE DAVIS

District Attorney Elmer W. Heald
won the first step in legal battle
over M. K. "Coots" Davis yesterday
afternoon when he dismissed mur-
der charges against Davis, insofar
as Imperial county is concerned, af-
ter attorneys for Davis had applied
for a writ of habeas corpus in
Judge A. c. Finney's superior court.
The charge of numbering William
Presley was lodged against Davis in
Judge I. Mayfield's court so that
Davis might be held while extradi-
ton proceedings were going forward.
This charge was dismissed when Da-
Wis was taken before the justice
court for preliminary hearing yes
terday afternoon.
Judge Malfield signed an order
for release of Davis on the Imperial
county charge Davis, however, was
not released. He was held for Mex
lean authorities Officers at the
county Jail showed as their authority
for holding Davis telegram from
Governor James Rolph, Jr., order
ing him held pending extradition.
Attorney Lee Nuffer yesterday ap-
piled for a writ of habeas corpus,
asserting that Mayfield's court was
outside its jurisdiction in issuing
warrant for Davis arrest, and that
the district attorney and j. A. Pres
ley, who signed the murder COM
plant, knowingly made misstate-
ment of facts in the information
against the accused
A statement that Davis murdered
Presley in 1.-The county of Imperial,
state of California" was taken ex-
ception to by the attorney and his
client Both Heald and j. A. Pres
ley believed, when they signed the
complaint and information, that
William Presley had died as a re-
suit of knife wounds inflicted in a
Mexicali cafe, according to the Pc
ton for a writ of habeas corpus.
Since dismissal of the charge
against Davis here, the petition for
writ of habeas corpus states
grounds that no longer exist. An
amended petition must be filed, it
is said, to test the strength of Gov
ernor Rolph's order that Davis be
held Hearing ON the petition had
been set for 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning before Judge A. C.. Finney.
