Gentlemen:
You are probably aware of the
fact that the Imperial county high.
way department, in cooperation
with the Civil Works Adninistra-
ton, has undertaken the improve
ment Of the north and south high
way in eastern Imperial county,
same connecting with the state sec
ondary road system on the county
line at Palo Verde, thence south
ward through Ogilby to intersect
state highway No 80, just eastward
of the new All-American canal sur
vey This highway is designated as
the Gold Dust Trail, and when com
pleted will be the last link in the
route along the Colorado river
The road surface has been graded
and numerous culyerts have been
installed. The SERA division is
deepening, reconditioning and pro-
tecting the county well to meet the
increased demand which will be
made upon it by travellers over the
route, which traverses a very dry
desert area. The various individuals
who are aware of the necessity of
an abundant supply of pure water
at the county well are contributing
one dollar each toward a fund to
provide a pump for installation at
the location and to defray the ex-
pense of erecting suitable signs tc

 Paris, February 8 - The 5 Paris mob, a crazy giant inl- < partially capable of wrecking \ governments or news-stands, ! careers or cafes, has done all these things the last few V weeks and is capable of much < more.
 The Paris mob has a we'll based reputation, going back z many centuries. This time it 7 seems to have found it's stride again.
 'sAs q result of his debasing the currency, there were riots in Paris" These are the words of the historian Jacques Bainville, ~and they refer to a "bagarre' that . ahappened in the year 1908. In ~those days the barricades were hurdles for fencing cattle. effective to halt men on horseback.
 Today the barricades are grat- ~fngs. newspaper kiosks, iron work, vgo0d for stopping police motor busses.
 They are still barricades.
 And the population of Paris Is mstill prone to go into the streets sdescendre dams les rues" - in true revolutionary style.

it own people killed by authori- ties, And nothing could have been more dramatically exciting to their temper than the sight of the coi- umn of war veterans being cut down by the sabefs of the Repub- lican Horse Guard near the Elysee palace. Stoically the veterans re- formed their ranks and tried to march ahead. Three times they were charged. A dozen actually reached the palace gate. only to be beaten back.
 It was reminiscent of the day, 1O4 years ago, when barricades tn the Paris streets were making way for another revolution - revOlu- ton that friumphed against Louis- Philippe. That time 1t was the 12-year-old boy, Areole, who shout ed, 'sWatch me - I'll show you how to be brave!" to his prudent elders behind their breastworks. He flung himself into the range of fire of the Royal Guards, who killed |'him, Paris still remembers that boy, by a bridge across the Seine named after him on the scene or his foolhardy exploit.
 The bitterest of Paris street fighting came in the years follow ing 1870, when Georges Clemen- ceau had his baptism of fire. Ihe "Tiger'' was mayor of Montmartre then, and Montmartre was the not bed of the Commune. France, broken and disheartened by the Prussian victory, was trifling with 1f n1riY1 O King. Clemenceau wanted no king, nor did he wish bloodshed. He prom ised that no massacre would pc attempted with the cannon which his followers had dragged to the top of the hill. But the National Guard broke the bargain. In the fight that followed the regular troops quit and joined the rebels. Two generals were caught and ex- ecuted. Clemenceau was hunted. but escaped. As Paris, or what was left of it by the incendiaries, was recaptured quarter by quarter, street by street, barricade by bar ricale, at least 25,000 persons were slain in the savage fighting.
 In each of the shifts from mon archy to empire to republic, and In many a civil scandal such as the recent banking affair, there always has been one vital, terrible factor - the Paris mob. The Panama scandal, Boulangerism, the 'Drey- fus case, the closing of tn emonas- teries = all these brought their train of rioting, with slaughter and property destruction.

 KIDNAP EVENTS
fcontinued from Page 1.)


 to comply with the kidnapers' de- mands, a notice was inserted In the "personaI' column of a. Minneap- oils paper, reading, We are ready. Alice"
 It was not until four days later that a second communication was received from the kidnapers. A bottle containing two notes was thrown through the glass door in the home of Dr H. T. Nippert, Adolf Bremer's physician, at 6:3O a. m. Sunday. The notes again warned against police intervention and gave speci- | fic directions for payment of the ransom, and about release of the victim. Police and federal officers agreed to remain out of the case. More than 20 federal agents of the bureau of investigation of the department of justice were concen- | trated here, awaiting word to begin work. Police Chief Thomas Dahill ordered a special squad of 67 off, cers to be ready for instant duty. Release Foreshadowed The release was foreshadowed yesterday when Bremen requested police and federal agents to post pone the start of their hunt for the kidnapers an additional 30 hours.
 The hunt enlisted more than 20 federal department of justice agents and the newly organized anti-kidnaping squadron of the St Paul police. Inspector Charles Tierney, chief of the squadron, in- mediately assigned his men to Q number of clues which have come to police headquarters, but which could not be followed for fear of | jeopardizing Bremer's safety.
 Bremer was slightly hurt. Con- siderable anxiety had been felt after police discovered blood stains on the front seat of the autOmo- bile in which he was seized, Jan- uary IT.
 Rremer telephoned members oi his family after he was released, Immediately after he was brought to his home, department of justice agents questioned him. What he revealed was kopf secret.
