noerh, in Chakar. from Jehol, while
Japanese airplanes were again bombing

The Chinese authorities claimed the
Japanese have again entered the de-
militarized zone esta blished south of

late in May. which ended months of
bitter fighting in Jehol and North
China.
They further maintained that the
Japanese had again occupied Miyun,
just northeast of Peiping. which they
evacuated on Monday, when it was an
nounced the Chinese expected shortly
to take over the demilitarized area and
Shanhaikwan, the port which, since
January, has been in the hands, Of the

Say Agreement Violated.
Z Chinese papers bitterly accused the
Japanese of violating the Tangku peace
agreement, saying the japanese are pre-
venting the Chinese from suppressing
bandits in the Ivan River area.
5 "Hordes of bandits came into North
China during the japanese occupation
Of the area" the newspapers charged.
The accusation also was made by
Chinese authorities that the japanese
military intends to send 5000 Japanese
and Manchukuo trops to occupy TOlun-
noerh, which the independent Chinese
general, Feng Fu-Hsiang. seized from
Manchukuan guards a month ago, and
to patrol the Chahar border in order

COUNTY GOVERNMENT ACT
ADOPTED BY SUPERVISORS
Salaries Reduced And Several Offices To
Be Consolidated In Measure Prepared
With Cooperation Of Grand Jury.

After much discussion and deffb-
! Grafton the county grand jury and
board of supervisors who have been
considering proposed changes in
the county government act, COM
pleted their task at 7 o'clock last
night. This morning District At
torney Elmer Head sent the find
ings of the meeting to Ben Hulse,
state senator, for presentation to
the legislature.
There has been widespread inter-
est throughout the county as to
the nature of the recommenda-
tions which might be made at this
meeting and the results of the de-
liberations were released as soon
as authorized by the joint jury and
supervisors session.
1t has been generally understood
that there was to be a drastic re-
duction in the salaries of county
Officers and employees and most
interest revolves about what was
done in that direction. 1t was the
original idea of the grand jury and
, supervisors that these salaries
would Immediately be reduced and
remain so until the year 1885 when
they would be raised again to
their present level.
This idea was changed, how
ever, so that the salaries will re-
main the same as noted in the act
through to the next term of office.
This is in reference to those Off
GERS which will not be consolidat-
ed.
A striking departure to be noted
is that the fee system will be
abolished even though it has al
ways been allowed by law. This
means that all fees collected by
officers and formerly belonging to
them legally, must now be turned
over to the county treasury.
Another item to be noted in the
present lineup is the consolidation
of several county offices, grouped
together in pairs, while other Of
fices will remain as they are at
present enjoying their independent
entity.
The following offices will not be
consolidated: county auditor, dis
trict attorney, superintendent of
schools, county surveyor, county
live stock inspector, county librar-
ian, probation officers and the
county agricultural commissioner
Those to be consolidated are: the
offices of county clerk and record
er; that of treasurer and public
administrator; sheriff and coroner
and the offices of county assessor
and tax collector.

SAN QUENTIN
NOT TOO BAD

Prisons Of any sort are not gen.
orally recomminded as health re-
sorts or places where person may
retire to recuperate from illness,
but, believe it or not, the unexpect-
ed has happened and one man had
to go to prison before he found out
what had been causing him a great
deal of pain for many years.
William E. Estes, who was con-
victed of manslaughter in superior
court here for the Staying of Sam
Stanley near Holtville on March 8,
had been suffering from an un-
known malay which caused him
untold pain for IS years. Upon his
arrival at San Quentin prison to
serve his sentence he was subject
ed to a physical examination with
the result that an operation was
found necessary.
Imagine the astonishment OF
both Estes and the prison authori-
ties when IL was discovered that
he had been carrying about inside
him a seven-inch rubber drain
hose.
Estes explained the matter by
stating that while living in Ken
lucky in 1915, he was taken ILL., 1t
was found necessary to insert two
rubber drains in the left pleural
cavity. Later one of these was re-
moved, BUT the other, evidently
forgotten, was allowed to remain in
place until the present. The pa
tient expressed great satisfaction
by having what he termed a "piece

"A blanket increase of 10 per cent

gram.
The increase becomes effective
upon adoption OF the congressional
