BIG WATER SUIT IS NEARING ITS END SAN BERNARDINO AND RIVERSIDE CONTEST WILL BE FINISHED EARLY IN AUGUST MORE THAN $50,000 HAS BEEN EXPENDED BY THE TWO CITIES IN THE COURT The million dollar suit by which the city of San Bernardino seeks to prevent Riverside from further developing a domestic supply from the San Bernardino valley artesian basin is drawing to a close, before Judge Finlayson of Los Angeles, who is sitting for Judge Dewhirst at San Bernardino, after a litigation extending into the fifth month. It is expected that early in August the large volume of evidence will have been submitted and then will be taken a recess, during which the attorneys will prepare the findings of facts and law in the case. Numerous experts, engineers and water developers and other witnesses have testified and a big array of legal talent has been engaged by both sides. Riverside is represented by Attorney W. A. Purington, Attorney W. G. Irving and Attorney Henry Goodcell of San Bernardina. San Bernardino has retained in addition to City Attorney William Guthrie, Attorneys Byron Waters, C. C. Haskell and Ralph E. Swing. After $50,000 had been spent in the The Weekly Gazette. DOLLAR DIPLOMACY The fine scorn with which the Wilson administration, in its early days, dealt with what is was pleased to call dollar diplomacy and the precipitate haste with which it withdrew the government's approval from the plan for the so called six-power loan to China have not been forgotten. The administration doubtless wishes that forgetfulness might now cloak the incident—because the state department is now breaking its neck in a frantic endeavor to resuscitate the syndicate which had the matter in charge and to put the loan through. The moving impulse in this change of attitude on the part of the administration is the new compact between Russia and Japan in relation to the future of the Chinese nation—a compact which has been drawn in such terms as to leave the United States on the outside of a closed door which the diplomacy of John Hay had taken care to open. The episode affords another instance of the amateurish and disastrous methods of the administration in dealing with foreign affairs. It also adds another to the lengthened score of the President's changes of mind. It also emphasizes to the country the eminent desirability of restoring to the state department its ancient character for continuity and consistency of policy. Dollar diplomacy is a scornful phrase; but dollar diplomacy in its practical operation means a more extended commerce and an enhanced prestige for America. It means America first, in many a worthy field of effort. In the hands of republican diplomats it can accomplish much. In the belated attempt of the democrats to believe in building up in order that employers may have stable remunerative wages buy and consume ducts of farm and rail. We have no particle ward the laborers off. We wish they could tain the same stance which ye try to maintain. But, until they standards, we believe a protective tariff will in favor of American to the extent that give the foreigner us. President Wilson said anything for humanity. But we do our asking. We want foreign hurry to the American state American humanity foreign standard. And these sentiments by an overwhelmed American people November.

"There is no danger short of oil, for three million acres now withdrawn. In two special naval r practically free from These contain approx 000 barrels of oil." Numerous experts, engineers and water developers and other witnesses have testified and a big array of legal talent has been engaged by both sides. Riverside is represented by Attorney W. A. Purington, Attorney W. G. Irving and Attorney Henry Goodcell of San Bernardina. San Bernardino has retained in addition to City Attorney William Guthrie, Attorneys Byron Waters, C. C. Haskell and Ralph E. Swing. After $50,000 had been spent in the suit by both cities, they reached an agreement to call a recess in the effort to compromise the differences and arrive on common ground for the settlement of the action without further costly litigation. Several conferences were held between the representatives of the two cities, but no ground was gained and it was definitely decided to reopen the suit last April, after a recess of six months. San Bernardino had prepared a statement, conceding that Riverside county interests were entitled to 2299.7 inches of water out of of the San Bernardino basin, but in turn, the Riverside representatives claimed 3000 inches. That difference of over 700 inches of water on the basis of the price the city of Riverside paid when it bought 500 inches from the Riverside Water company for $750,000, or at the rate of $1500 an inch, makes a stake of about $1,000,000 for which the water and property interest of the two districts are contending. Many elaborate tests have been made by experts for both sides. Several time Judge Finlayson has adjourned his court to various parts of the valley, so that the court might examine the ground and have various points explained. Exhaustive data was presented on the underground pressures and flows, the amount of water entering and leaving the valley, the flow of wells supplying San Bernardino as against those used by Riverside, and many other items of paramount importance in the trial. The wells of the artesian belt around Antil, just a half mile east of the San Bernardino city limits on Sixth street, where centers the entire litigation, have been closed and opened at intervals while engineers were measuring the flow and pressure. The city of Riverside purchased water from the Riverside Water company and under the agreement HE BOBS UP AGAIN A few days ago Francis J. Heney, the Pacific coast reformer, revived his vanishing notoriety by flashing a message over the wires to President Wilson, renouncing his fealty to the progressive organization, his disagreement with the action of the republican convention and pledging fidelity to the democratic nominee. Whatever consternation Mr. Heney supposed his message would carry into the republican ranks has exaporated into thin air. It has absolutely failed to cause the faintest ripple on the vast sea of Republican harmony. It is hardly worth while to consider the filmsy character of the excuses Mr. Heney presents for espousing the Wilson candidacy. The orgainzation is greater than any of its leaders, which is in marked contrast to the one-man party Mr. Hehey prefers to ally himself with. When the California reformer charges that the nomination of Mr. Hughes was dictated by the bosses, he deliberately seeks to deceive any he hopes to lead away with him to a camp notoriously dominated by one of the greatest bosses known to the political history of the country, a man who ruled the convention that nominated him. Who not only forced that body to take him, but made it swallow his running mate, without a wash to palliate the astringency of the dose. A boss who dictated the proceedings of the St. Louis gathering of administration puppets with strings pulled from the cloistered privacy of the White House. AMERICA FIRST EVERY TIME There is one respect in which we can agree with the democrats regarding the republican tariff law—it is a discriminating tariff, though not in the sense that Democrats would have desirability of restoring to the state department its ancient character for continuity and consistency of policy. Dollar diplomacy is a scornful phrase; but dollar diplomacy in its practical operation means a more extended commerce and an enhanced prestige for America. It means America first, in many a worthy field of effort. In the hands of republican diplomats it can accomplish much. In the belated attempt of the democrats to make use of it, there can be little to hope for.

The city of Riverside purchased water from the Riverside Water company and under the agreement was entitled to use of the water for a period of six months. When Riverside proposed that the flow be secured for the entire year San Bernardino objected, contending that the drain on the artesian basin would affect the supply of the city of San Bernardino, which is to a large extent secured from the Antil pumping station, and that San Bernardino is entitled to the first rights to the water from the basin, over which the city is located. Riverside came back with the argument that Riverside is conducting a great conservation scheme in the mouth of the Santa Ana Canyon, by spreading the waters of the river over a large area, causing the moisture to sink into the ground and thus return to the San Bernardino artesian basin and feed the wells from which the Riverside supply is drawn. The San Bernardino attorneys produced expert evidence showing the location of a great underground dyke extending north of the Santa Ana river bed some distance. This, experts testified, proves the conserved Santa Ana water from reaching the Antil belt. Geological experts submitted data showing how this hydrographic divide extended almost through the San Bernardino Valley, cutting through east and west close to Bunker Hill. Then evidence was introduced to show that an alluvial point extends along the lower end of the proceedings of the St. Louis gathering of administration puppets with strings pulled from the cloistered privacy of the White House. AMERICA FIRST EVERY TIME There is one respect in which we can agree with the democrats regarding the republican tariff law—it is a discriminating tariff, though not in the sense that Democrats would have us believe. A protective tariff law discriminates in favor of the American producer, and against the product of the cheap labor of Europe and Asia. Republicans believe in protecting the American farmer and stockgrower against the competition of farmers and stockmen who operate on the cheap lands of Argentina. We believe in protecting the poultrymen of the Pacific coast from competition with the cheap eggs of China. We believe in shutting out the butter and cheese of Canada and Switzerland and numerous other countries in order to build up better dairy herds in America. We the valley, preventing the escape of the underground supply of water. The cost of the water suit to both cities has been a large and unexpected drain on their finances. A bond issue in connection with improvements has been suggested to take care of the court costs and attorney fees, but nothing has developed in either city looking toward raising money for that purpose. In San Bernardino the city council and the board of water commissioners have reached an agreement that the water commission will pay the remainder of the bills of the water suit and in return the city will pay rentals for city water at the rate of about $1000 per month for all departments.

And Zerolene is scientifically refined from selected California crude—asphalt-base. Prominent authorities have recently declared that an oil correctly refined from asphalt-base crude can be made not only equal but superior to paraffine-base oils. Next time you empty the crank-case refill with Zerolene. Dealers everywhere and at service stations and agencies of the Standard Oil Company. ZEROLENE the Standard Oil for Motor Cars A PLEASANT SURPRISE awaits the woman who tries our cleaning and dyeing for the first time. From fancy slippers on up to feathers on "To keep three million acres of oil land locked up indefinitely while gasoline is climbing higher and higher is not good sense and plays into the hands of monopoly. There is no danger of the navy being short of oil, for their are nearly three million acres of public oil lands now withdrawn. Included therein are two special naval reserves which are practically free from adverse claims. These contain approximately 130,000,000 barrels of oil." Certain eastern politicians working under the guise of conservation are playing politics and trying to hold up the relief measure recommended by the public lands committee of the U.S. senate after a two months investigation. In the meantime, the development of California oil fields is retarded at a time when it has an opportunity to go ahead as never before and the price of fuel oil goes up another 5 cents a barrel, for the simple reason that the supply cannot equal the demand. How much longer can this great industry be made the plaything of theoretical and vote seeking politicians? Let us hope not long. FOOD FOR SOLDIERS It is right that the war department should have ordered the inquiry into the quantity and quality of food supplies furnished the millitiamen along the border, or on the way there. While complaints malde by some of the men are probably unfounded, such a complaint is not to be ignored. There is a tendency among paragraphers and funny writers to flesh their barbs in the flesh of the complaining young men now leading a hard life on our southern frontier. "He jests at scars who never felt a wound," and it is all too easy for men refreshing themselves under electric fans on the best the market affords, to sneer at others who have left such delights and put themselves up against the regular uniced army ration. "Aye, there's the rub." The United States army ration is generous both in quantity and in food qualities for sustaining strength and activity. Every element in it has been selected with a view to maintaining men in tiptop physical condition. But, for the most part, its eating involves a decided change in diet from that to which many, it not most, of the national guardsmen now in camps have been..." "Aye, there's the rub." The United States army ration is generous both in quantity and in food qualities for sustaining strength and activity. Every element in it has been selected with a view to maintaining men in tiptop physical condition. But, for the most part, its eating involves a decided change in diet from that to which many, it not most, of the national guardsmen now in camps have been accustomed. Such a decided change in diet is very likely to produce qualms in the stomach at first, despondency and forebodings, and, it may well appear to the sufferers "all the ills that flesh is heir to." Added to the other privations and exposures inseparable from military campaigning, such changes move the young recruit, before an enemy is sighted to recall the lines: "Oh, you'll not forget me mother, if I'm numbered with the slain." But, if the complaints are unfounded, all of this will soon pass. A Washington dispatch covering this matter says: "Officials of the war department meet criticism with the statement that the national guardsmen get the same kind of food that the regulars get and thrive on." If that is true, then the national guardsmen will thrive on it to, when the memories of lobster a la Newburg have faded into the past, and the real succulence of the army bean has been discovered.
