"He tbuught that by purchasing a allout piece ot laud, a piece noces sary for my building of the dam, ho could force me to exploit the proj ect, charge the poor landholders ex orbitant rates for their Irrigation privileges, and utilize the water power for selfish purposes. ' "He discovered I owned every bit of tho land save' that owned by Scogglns and sent a representative to Scogglns, offering him a romark ablo prlco for his laud. Fortunately ho approached the most loyal, land loving man there. He kept faith wfUi. mo and rofused to sell (you under stand, Judy, that Lampero did not show his hand in any of this, but be cause of your friend, Clin, I was able to traco It back to Ills InDuonco). ' "Huvlng failed to obtain land around the lowor dura, Lampero had wily engineer by the name ot Mnnhausor, go over the copy of a bluo print, obtained from tho orig inal real estate people thero, and ho, discovered that they might switch the course of the Rio Diablo, through an artificial channel, around the land owned by tho natives and through virgin torrltory, upon which Lumpore quickly obtained an op tion, i "However, he first had to acqulro land around the upper dam, and thanks to that storm, I was spurred into buying that before he got Into the field. AS things stand now, l nave Lam pero blocked both ways.

AD NATION 42 per cent of all cars in its price class during De&ember and January ' THREE MAKES CONSIDERED . i - .... The City Purchasing Department of Los Angeles opened bids for 53 Se dan cars, either sixes or eights. The three principal ars considered were Ford, Chevrolet and Plymouth. Each pake delivered two cars to the police officials at the Legion Ascot Speedway, the Los Angeles racing course a 5-8 mile track. The po lice department took entire charge. FORD LEADS IN SPEED TEST In the speed test, made from a standing start, the Ford negotiated the track in 46 seconds. Plymouth in -19 and Chevrolet in 53 seconds. Upon crossing tlie finish line it was necessary to make a braking test to determine which car could stop in the shortest dis1 tance. Although the Ford was travelling fasteiy it was slopped in a shorter distance than the competi tors. The drivers were then changed from one car to another until each driver had driven all cars, and then an average was taken for each. The results were the same, regardless of the driver. ' 1 1934 FORI) TUDOR SEDAN FORD ACCELERATION : 1 QUICKER "In tlie pickup or acceleration test, all cars were lined up at the starting line, and upon firing of a pis tol there was a race to see Which car would make the fastest getaway. On reaching the finishing point, the Foi'd cai-s were in the lead of the second' car by 75 feet and abbdt 125 feet ahead of the third car. The dis tance was 300 yards'.' Again the drivers were rotated with the same results. FORD EXCELS IN FUEL ECONOMY AND ' LOW GEAR ,"In the fuel economy test the Fords excelled. The tanks were completely drained and a gallon of fuel 'poured into the tank. Each car was paced by a motor cycle at 40 miles' per hour, and the car run until the tiigine'st'oppei; ; In the test for speed on tlie low gear . 'the Fords outperformed their competitors. The results of the 'second speed gear tests were interesting. ' Ford cai's ran tlie track in second gear only one second slow er' than -was made in high gear of the other cars' time. FORD COOLING "The care were then driven in second gear, lap after lap, to test the cooling systelps, and not only1' did the Ford eai's 'lead' their competitore but after eight' and ten laps the radiators of the competitive makes were steaming. 'After these tests it was Quite conclusive to the police officials and the competitors that the Fords were best adapted for' the severe police work and the, order was placed for 53 Ford cars equipped with special police antennaes, heavy duty generators; heavy .jiufcy batteries and safety glass. . , i "TheHests, and service of the 56 Fords sold to the police department a year agoproved .that the Ford is designed and built for jiolice work, because of its rapid acceleration the police can overtake another car with in a block pr two and avoid a long chase and probably miss , capture by the pursued dodging ip.tp some side streetTIf it is out on the open road, the Ford car, having more speed, can overtake any car. If it is negotiitting corners the road ability of the Ford make3 it ideal for this work. The quick pick-up naturally, will save human lives, because the chase will be short and not endanger people's lives. With the quick, posi tive brakes,, if an emergency arises, the Ford can be stopped quickly and thus avoid accidents."
