Wisconsin Considers Original Bill Over Lake Michigan Water
The Supreme Court grants Wisconsin permission to file against Illinois and the Chicago sanitary district to challenge water diversions. Wisconsin alleges Lake Michigan levels and connected waters decline due to the drainage canal and seeks an injunction to cut diversions from 8,800 to 4,167 cubic feet per second if the court finds Illinois authority adequate. The Chicago district notes the appeal as unwarranted, citing a 1920 injunction limiting diversions and urging continued treatment plants funded by the state.

Road of Thrills for Real Beauty Travelers
Editor Howe of the Atchison Globe urges travelers to see America first via the San Diego Short Line from Yuma to the coast. The 11 miles of thrill territory pass Carrizo mountain gorge through 17 tunnels, with 900 foot drops and sheer granite walls. Opened 1919, cost eighteen million dollars, owned by J D Spreckels, A B Spreckels, and Southern Pacific. The route hugs the border, crosses into Old Mexico for 44 miles, with no passport or baggage checks, stopping at Mexican villages but not allowing passengers to leave the train. Travelers praise the scenery as unmatched by any other.
