BID FOR BUILDING
SLIP IS PROTESTED

Yesterday afternoon Attorney Cen
eral Andrews heard and took under ad-
visement the protest made by Cotton
Bros. & Co, against the acceptance of
the bid of John Walker for the build
ing of the Alakea street slip.
When the bids for the construction
of the slip were opened, by the Super
intendent of Public Works, it was
found that John Walkers bid of $16S, 900
was a little more than $4,000 below
that of Cotton Bros. & Co., which was
the next lowest. The advertisement for
bids had specified that each should be
accompanied by certified check as a
forfeit in case of failure to comply with
the terms of the contract, but instead
of a certified check Walker had filed
with his bid an accepted order on
Davies & Co. The form of order is
known as an inland bill of exchange"
Cotton Bros. & Co. at once made
protest against the acceptance of
Walkers bid, and with their attorneys,
A. F. Judd and E. A. Mott-Smith, APP
peared before the Attorney General to
argue that the bid must be accom-
panied by a certified check, not even
the deposit OF a cash forfeit being ae-
ceptable in such case.
On behalf of Walker, Attorney H.
Holmes urged that an accepted order
on firm of the standing of Davies &
Co. was equivalent to a certified check
under the law

The Flaspole Painter and the Man Who
Rigs Up Political Banners.

The sight of men at work i'm the air on
lofty poles always has n certain degree OF
fascination about it. People passing in
the neighborhood of the Post Office had last
week two such sights TO gaze at, one being
furnished by man painting the fagpoles
on the City Hall.
This man did his work in the usual way,
sitting in a bo'suns chair attached to the
lower end of tackle the upper end of
which was made fast to the top of the pole.
He began painting at the top, swinging
sides and then, when he had painted a
section, lowering himself by the fall of
the tackle and, making that fast, plying the
paint brush again, on the new section thus
brought within reach, swinging around
the pole as he painted as before. - l., ,oa
covered the whole pole with its new coat Of
white. 1t is not very unfamiliar thing,
hut the sight of man suspended in the
air in a bo'sun's chair beside lofty flag
pole and calmly lowering himself and swing
ing around the pole as he paints always
attracts the eye.
The other man in the air was one who had
climbed pole just set at the corner OF
Broadway and Barclay street to reeve
through block at the top of it the ballard

praph lineman, this icing something that
the crowd always likes to see man do.

And this man, leaning back in his body
bdlt at the top Of this pole, was now
coolly at work reeying the halliards, while
passcrsby on the sidewalks halted to look

protect the lower lands bordering the stream with an adequate levee it be- comes plain that this surplusage must either be again turned into the river east of the heading or must run into the Imperial canal.
 The latter action would virtually place the government in the light of a partner ill a private enterprise, or as merchant selling to private individuals water that belongs to the people.
 The first alternative will prove con- stant menace to the levee on the south precedent and would, therefore, be most vigorously opposed to prevent the es- tabllshment of pernicious precedent.
 This work initially provides for the reclamation of approximately 100000 acres of land by irrigation and by the system of levees to prevent overflow from the river; all this supplemented by an extensive system of drainage to prevent the lands becoming alkaline and further providing against seepage from the levees.
 All this is outside of this valley and, under present conditions, without effect here. Only by the requirement of the present system by the government can it avail much to Imperial and to the Imperial valley. It has been esti- mated that these works comprising the diversion and partial storage dam, ten miles or more of settling basins and sluiceways and main supply canals, will cost the lands directly affected $35 per acre, payable in ten annual install ments.
The Imperial press., 1904-05-14

The addition of the Imperial system with the potential half million acres of the valley, and thereby making this dis trict co-owners and benefciaries should, if anything, very materially serve to re- duce this cost to all. This can only be effected through organization, as the government officials deal with these questions only with unit and never with the individuals.
 It is we'll worthy of note that Hon. Wm. E. Smythe, in his recent speech here, proved himself true prophet when he said that the government engi- neering plans were practically complete and that work would be under way within a few months. May it not be reasonably assumed that he was equally prophetic in saying that the govern mental requirement. of the Imperial system can be attained-with all the benefits accruing therefrom-if at- tained at all within a short time. In fact, that the matter would be Con or off, very soon.

COMMUNICATED

EDITOR IMPERIAL PRESS, Imperial, Calif., Dear Sir.-So much is being said by certain parties. to the effect that 1 have turned against the best interests of Imperial Water Go. No. l, which comp any 1 represent as President, that 1 feel that reply is called for.
 To be on the alert, and faithfully guard every right and interest of the people whom I have the honor to repre- sent, has been the controlling motive of my life for the past three years.
 When l go back on the principles of morality and universal brotherhood, represented by the organizations to which 1 belong: when desert my wife and curse the children whose education and development to the highest type of citizenship is worth more than life to me; then accuse me of being traitor to the people who have entrusted with me the management of their corporation.
 Until that time bear in mind that honest men sometimes differ as to the best course to follow.
 For several months I have greatly feared that during this peliod of great suffering for mant of water, and led on by inhammatory speeches, that the peo- pie of Imperial might commit rash acts that would result in many times greater injury to themselves than the shortage of water has done.
 This fact has arrayed noe against the agitators, and made me little slow to embrace the idea of Government own ership," for fear that it was only dream that would take the place of measures that might bring actual relief.
 No plainer statements of existing con- ditions have been made by any person at Imperial than I have made before the California Development Go. board of directors and sent to that company by mail during the past two months, and which resulted in our com promise settlement, but I preferred to put those statements where they might do more good than making them public to obtain for me popular praise and in- flame the people to rash acts.
 Some day, if necessary, I will make those statements public, but in the mean time those who really desire to bring about "Government ownership" will work for harmony instead of dis cord, and only those whose greatest de- sire is their own glory, will continue this agitation.
 pledge myself to do all in my power to bring about Government owner ship' upon such terms as will be fair and just to all of our people.

The Imperial press., 1904-05-14


 Brief and pointed as the above dis patch to Supervising Engineer J. B. LippincOtt is 1t means more than the average tongue can we'll tell or the aver age intelligence we'll grasp; not alone in the magnitude of the work undertaken but in the magnitude and far-reaching benefits accruing to the Imperial valley and therefore to Imperial.
 While at no time has there been any question raised concerning the supply of water for the valley during the period been shown in the past that the present canal and the present intake have proved inadequate to the demands made upon the system during the win ter months. This fact has really been the basis for the movement but recently started, and that grows greater in force and intensity of purpose with each re- current sun, for the national ownership of the Imperial system of canals.
 For better understanding of the sit uation as now presented it may be stated that for two years past the chiefs of the geological survey whose attention has been centred on the Colorado river have dreamed of series of dams, four in number, extending from a point about twenty miles above Yuma to the Black Canyon, above Needles.
 The feasibility of such works having been satisfactorily worked out it was sought to bring these dreams into reali- zation. Here Nature herself has inter- vened to a certain extent, inasmuch as it has been found impossible to locate a spot available and at the same time place foundation bedrock that would safely support the walls of an 15O foot dam, designed to cover the hills and sand dunes of both California and Ari- zOna.
 It has been found, however, of due stability to carry an immense structure that will raise the present flood waters II feet higher, seruing to cover the en- tire valley on the Arizona side and on range of sand hills. Covering, as this does, the whole of the present Yuma Indian Reservation, in California, it is further announced that on or before the completion of the works this reserva- tion will be thrown open to settlement under the homestead act, as outlined in the Reclamation Act; the Indians being allotted five acres each of choice irri- gated land as compensation.
 A close study of the Imperial valley in connection with the river will lead the student of these affairs to the con- clusion that the Imperial system must become part and parcel of the Colo rado project; the patrons of this system becoming thereby co-owners with their brothers of the Yuma valley and of the Palo Verde and with their potential brothers of the Reservation. It being out of the question now to surmount the hills to the eastward the sole route open to our water is that as now taken. It then becomes necessary to provide an outlet for the surplus water of the main California ditch, that will necessarily follow the highest possible line to the westward of the river.
 Noting that from Yuma to the head ing of the Imperial system the river runs almost due east and west, and that corollary to the dam it is designed to
