I QUAKES THfiLATEM f IRRIGATION BAN! Much Damage is Done by Tremors in the State of California SEVERAL WERE KILLED FORMER QUAKE RECALLED Anxiety of Settlers in Imperial Valley Centered in Head Catcs. El Centro, Cal.?Sharp earth shock? last week centered the anxiety of Imperial valley sctt-ors in California or the head gates of the great irrigatior system which had transformed nearh 250,000 acres of desert. The intakes of the Colora lo river, near Yuma, anc the headway of .-harps, were rcpn*te< safe, although the Sharps heading was shaken ami sagged. Engineers reported that anothei shock as severe as the one that rocked the little cluster of towns in tha valley and cost half a dozen or more lives in the Mexican border town o' Mexicali, undoubtedly would wrcclthe works there. Scientists appear to agree that th< shocks lay along the lino of what k known as the San Andreas Fault ii the earth's formation, which was involved in the North Central CaFfornk earthquake of 1&0G.

The men and women killed were crushed beneath the adobe walls of a dance hall. Rebuilding already has begun. Tn this city, where an entire block of the business section was ruined, gangs of men were at work today clearing the debris. The damage here was estimated at something close to $200,000. The loss at Calexico was estimated at less than that. Several fires at Calexico added to the damage done there by the quakes which threw the municipal water tank off its sixty-foot tower.

The United ?t 11 tes has notified all foreign governments of appointment ( of Robert Lansing to be secretary of state. Notice was also sent to all diplomatic and consular representatives , of the United States in foreign countries. Mr. Lansing took the oath of office as the successor to Wm. Jennings Bryan. High officials, diplomats and close personal friends were on hand to witness the ceremony and to extend i their congratulations. j One of President Wilson's last of"i ficial acts before he left for New York 1 was to sign Mr. Lansing's commiss1 sion. giving him a recess appointment His nomination will be sent to the ' senate upon tHo reconvening* of con' gross. It is not believed that his con1 firmat'on will he opposed. Mr. Lansing's appointment did not I come as a surprise as it generally'had been expected. The csbinet was a ' unit in favor of his selection and many of the president's close personal friends had urged it. Former Secretary Bryan, although - inn consulted, is said to nave Hoped for Mr. Lansing's promotion. He returned late last night from ; Asheville, N. C., but would make no 1 comment upon Mr. Lansing's appokit" ment except to say that he would send 1 his congratulations, j Representatives of foreign govern* ments in Washington called to felicitate Mr. Lansing upon his appoir.t1 ment. * He is very popular among the 1 diplomatic corps. 1 The new. secretary of state received '_many congratulatory messages among them a letter from Mr. Bryan, who i expressed g\ ification at his soleclion and the wish that success attend '.him "personally and officially." i ' buildings. North of Ei Centre the damage was comparatively light. Towns further up . ^he valley suffered slightly. No dam j age was done outside of the valley. | Meager reports brought here by train and automobile said that six or seven men and women had been killed i at Mexicali and that the bodies of two (men had been taken from the debris I and identified. Strict guard was established in the various towns as soon as the quakes began. Special deputies here and at Calcxieo, a troop of United States cavalry which had been patrolling the border, kept order and protected property. Across the line Colonel Estaban , Cantu, the Mexican commandant, established martial law. i WllH I i | : $ ? | | i t II I I j! % % id i f II x $ Y g >i rrr- ?/! ?n ^ $ * n t t II <> i> R J e in absolutely ling.

This farm is owned by Mr. J. M. Lewis, one of our leading business men. Any man who is willing to work will make a good living almost anywhere. 1 have six fine hogs. Five i of these are only two months old and ' will weigh about 80 pounds apiece. What T have on this farm is pretty nearly clear of debt. I find it best to have as little debt as possible. W. R.

Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internal, ly, and acts directly upon the blcod and mucous surface. Kail's Catarrh I Cure is not a quack medicine. It was proscribed by nnn of the host nhvsisians in this country for years and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tunics known, combined j with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces.

Jr While it is stated that submarine i tction against hostile merchantmen W * viil not and cannot be abandoned ntirely, it is increasingly probable hat the German note will embody ' y iome proposals to exempt ships employed wholly or principally in pasienger traffic from submarine attack. Such ships, it is said, of course vould l)e subject to stoppage and cximination by submarines in accordmce with the practice in vogue prior o the present war and to capture if arrying contraband, but the regular ^ ules of the prize law, particularly egarding the safety of passengers j ind crews, would be observed. It is hoped here that such a solution viil satisfy the requirements of Presdent Wilson's note. It is hoped and expected here among those who are vorking for a friendly settlement of ho situations between Germany and he United Slates that the United states would see that such passenger hips were not used to transport amnunition and guns nor lend themselves to attacks upon submarines. o Cancer Treatment Talked.
