LOCAL PARTY TRIES NEW ROAD
ENROUTE FROM VISIT TO DAM

A portion cf the chamber OF
commerce party which went to
Boulder dam over Saturday, Sun
day and Monday, returned by way
of Parker dam, connected with the
Los Angeles aqueduct system and
travelled over the So-called Colorado
Valley highway. The group was
led by President w. H. Tyler, Jr.,
OF the chamber of commerce, who
reported everything tranquil there
and the traffic bridge over the
river about three-fourths COM
pleted, with workmen busy driving
piles and building the deck of the
structure. There were no Arizona
soldiers visible and the work was
proceeding peacefully.
The proposed Colorado Valley
highway is an interesting thorough
fare" said Leo Hetzel a member
of the party and chairman of the
chamber Of commerce highway
committee. I'VE left Las Vegas and
travelled over the pavement in the
direction of Boulder dam to the
halfway junction, then turned
south on the road to Searchlight,
Nevada, a mining town famous
25 years ago, which has lately come
into its own again with higher
gold prices. We found mines in
operation everywhere, apparently

of silver per ton.

PALO VERDE
SEEKS TO BUY
VALLEY LAND

Attorneys for the Palo Verde ir-
rigation district have submitted a
proposal to the county board of
supervisors asking their approval
of a tax setup whereby the county
will sell to the district all lands OF
the district now within the bound
aries of this county where tax
deed has gone to the state.
The price to be paid by the Palo
Verde district according to this
proposal, will be one half OF one
per cent of the assessed valuation
of this land when it was last on
the county assessment rolls.
1t is understood that the Palo
Verde district will offer to resell
this land to the former owners OF
the same. These purchasers will be
charged five per cent of the dis
trict assessed valuation of this land
at the time of its last assessment,
plus three per cent of the value OF
improvements and the cost OF ac-
quiring the state IS title.
Under this deal, it is understood
the purchaser may either pay a
fixed price for this land and then
be given a deed immed htely or
pay 20 per cent cash on December
/, 1884 and the balance in four
equal installments with five per-
cent interest on the unpaid bal
ance.
The proposal will be brought up
before the county supervisors for
consideration at their meeting next
Monday. The question of a pres
ent existing moratorium relative to
tax payments may prevent immed-
late action being taken in the mat

The roads are wide. we'll graded,
and well surfaced. After we reach
ed the California state line, we
never left the pavement again.
Our road led us from Desert
Center, through Mecca, Oasis. and
thence to Imperial Valley. How
ever, with the building of the
Colorado Valley highway from
Calexico to Calipatria and inland,
and the proposed Chuckawalla road
from inland to Chuckawalla
Wells and thence north to connect
with the Blythe highway and this
aoueduct road system, the route
will save about $50 miles to a per-
son travelling from Imperial Valley
to Boulder dam or to Salt Lake
City.
1t has the additional advantage" :"
he continues. "Of giving San Diego
and Imperial Valley folks and those
using cur highways, a chance to
make direct connection with High
way U. S. go, the Blythe highway;
U. S. &c, the Great Santa Fe Trail;
Highway U. S. 81 which is the Salt

south route which comes on
through Nevada and Idaho direct
to Glacier National Park and to

us direct access TO all these great

PARKER, Ariz., Nov IA. U.P)-
The " Arizona expeditionary force, -
consisting of five score national
guardsmen, today cancelled "sail-
ing orders to proceed up the
murky Colorado river to enforce
martial law at Parker damsite
An order to stand by for further
instruction was issued at Phoenix
by Adj. Gen. Oscar Temple after
the state had won the first skir-
mish of its fight to halt, by force
if necessary, all construction oper-
ations on the Arizona side of the
river.
The bureau of reclamation at
Denver, acting on orders of Inter
ior Secretary IckeS, instructed con-
tractors to suspend work and re-
tire with their workers to the
California shores.
Temple command to stand by
gave rise to speculation that the
eXpeditionary force may be with
drawn or, at mCst. be billeted here
until speedy action to settle Ari-
zona S demand for fuller water
and power rights could be had from
the courts.

First Bout Ends in Draw.

WYE DIDN'T reach a definite
w agreement" admitted Mr..
Dickson. Then, assuming a
dreamy expression peculiar to pro-
moters, he continued: "Of course, I
am not going TO kill myself trying TO
get Camera to come to England. There
are plenty of fighters over there, and
one Camera more or less will not make
much difference"
Mr.. Dickson's errand in this country
is not purely commercial. There is a
sentimental note about 1t. He will
visit Jackson, Miss, where he will con-
centrate on fried chicken for q few
days and leave the dimes alone. After
renewing his boyhood contacts, he will
return to New York and engage Signor
Soresi in another bout.
you know" said Mr.. Dickson. be-
fore departing for Jackson. every one
who saw the pictures Of the Baer-
Camera fight in Europe is convinced
that 1t was in the satchel. An English
referee would have disqualified Baer
in the first round for making faces"
II this is so, Camera should be a
very sound drawing card in England.
And II this is so, Signor Soresi would
do well to listen to the proposals Of
Mr.. Dickson. I am not presumptious
enough to advise either Of them in
financial matter. but think, as long
as the English remain in a suspicious
mood, that Camera should repair to
England in all haste. The move would
create a lot of good will between that
country and our own.

MR.. DICKSON exploits Europe in
N eight different languages. From
his headquarters in Paris and
London. he marks the rise, fall. and
potential cash value Of every fighter,
wrestler, bike rider, hockey player,
and ches wizard in the Old World.
Mr.. Diekson's hair is getting tribe
gray now, but the sports experts Of
Europe, headed by Mr.. Sparrow Rob-
ertson. still hail him in print as the
young American genius and the boy
promoter.
1t did not take Mr.. Dickson long 10
realize how the people of England
feel about Primo Camera. Primo Is
a great man over there, an unbeat-
able giant. He has fought several
fights in England and France under
Mr.. Dicksons management, to the
mutual profit Of Mr.. Dickson and the
Camera stockholders.
80 I am offering him $4,000 to
fight in London in September" said
Mr.. Dickson, in his peculiar mixture
Of Mississippi and European brogue.
IF he fought in Paris. of course, I
couldn't give him much better than
$4,000 or $4,000. In England, I
will match him with the winner of
the coming fight between Jack Peter
son and Larry Gains-provided 1t
turns out to be good fight"
Mr.. Dickson moves swiftly toward
the consumation of scheme. He
went into huddle with Louis Soresi

M pie of England still think
there was something phoney

Their suspicion is so virulent and
deep-rooted that Mr.. Jefferson Davis
Dickson, the boy promoter, has come

the heavyweight title more or less at

You cannot convince the English
that Signor Camera lost the title.
They watched the motion pictures of
the fight, and straightway they filled
the theaters of the British Isles with
such cries as:

That's how they bring the title
