WILL COMPROMISE
Senator Flint and Congressman Smith
 Reach An Agreement

Senator Flint and Representative Smith have reached an agreement up- on the Colorado river improvement proposition. Both agree that the prin- cipal legislation needed Is to cover three points: First. repairing the break In the river bank; second, that If the reclamation service Is to enter the Imperial valley It must take over the present irrigation system, instead of constructing an entirely new one; third that the reclamation service must be given authority to go upon foreign soil, when necessary to irrigate American land.
 All these points would be covered in bill similar to the original Flint bill, which would authorize the reclamation service to undertake irrigation in the Imperial valley, but not directing 1t to do so, with an amendment giving ser vice authority to extend its activities abroad in certain cases. The amount of money necessary for the protective works referred to, 1t was agreed be- tween Flint and Smith, shall be the largest that can be obtained in confer ence. It will probably be $l .5o0,ooo, compromise between the $2,ooo,ooo originally asked by Flint and the $l,- OoO, ,OOO provided in the bill as amend ed by the house committee The Flint bill, as amended. will probably be passed shortly in the house, Smith and Flint can then straighten out matters in conference committee.
 Smith to-day introduced bill amending the reclamation act so that parties who have entered desert land and begun its reclamation before the government established an irrigation project covering land so entered, shall have a water tight for 32O acres, the largest entry under the desert land act, instead of only l60 acres as the recla- nation act now provides. This cov- CTS the situation in the Imperial valley wheJE many persons could not obtain Water rights for more than l6O acres Tunder the present law, although they have been improving 32O acres under the cesert land act.

CantaIOupe Meeting

The cantaloupe growers of Fl Gen. tro and vicinity met last Saturday at- ternoon. The meeting was called in order to ascertain about the number of acres of melons that would be planted this season. According to the list as made up 1t appears that 500 acres or more will be put out, Grounds being prepared and the planting of seed will soon commence. The growers feel confident that this Is going to prove a good year and good money will result, Those who had experience last year feel sure that many obstacles which confronted them last season will be ov- ereome and larger crops and better melons will go from thls point.

AUXILIARY PLANT
HOltOn Power Company Will Build
 Steam Plant at FL CentrO

The plans are in the hands of the architect and the machinery has al- ready been ordered for an auxiliary steam plant for the Holton Power company to be located at Fl Centro. Work will be commenced on this new plant as soon as building on the Ice plant has progressed far enough to en- able taking some of the workmen from that building. Some of the material Is already on the ground It wlll'be To- cated near the Ice plant.
 This new power house will have a capacity of 450 kilowatts and will serve a double purpose, the primary one be- ing to be in readiness to take up the work of furnishing electricity in case the water power should become dis abled. and secondly to help, the water power should it be called upon for more than Its present capacity
 The building of the new plant will necessitate the erection of another transformer station at his place and will furnish a great deal of work all the coming fall and winter.

The Creamery Proposition.

Major N. Patton, in his first con- siderable effort at promoting, has proved himself money raiser. Sat- urday night last he had secured sub scriptions to the amount of $35O0 which he hopes to increase to $500O by this Saturday night. This money is to be used for the erection of a creamery and rolling mill in Holt vile. --
 The stock has been largely sub- scrlbed by the farmers. who are dis satisfied with their returns from outside creameries. They are satisfied with the price obtained. but are at outs with the tests.
 The financing of the creamery prof. ect has the solid backing of w. F. Holt, who emphatcally states that he Is with the people and will make all pa- per worth 100 per cent when he Is as- sured of 200 COWS in the district tribu- tary to Holtville.-Holtvllle Tribune.

GROWING SMALLER
The Break in the River is Gradually Being Closed, Slowly But Surely

News from the Colorado river Is most encouraging, work Is going on steadily and rapidly and the break in the rivers bank Is slowly yielding to the efforts of man. The large force of men have narrowed the gap to about 45o or 500 feet-35o feet less than It wass The work has been done with the utmost carefulness, so that 1t may be depended upon for all time.
 "ln every way great progress Is being made toward the permanent closure of the break" says the Yuma Sun. "In- stead of everything going decidedly and discouraglngy wrong. as was the case for so great time, fortune now seems to be favorlng the courageous and persistent engineers. They have no shadow of suspicion of failure.
 A band of about fifty Papago Indians reinforced the force of laborers at the heading yesterday, and a car load of mules added to the levee building equipment. The levees now consti- ute the greatest danger and the work of building them Is being pushed to the last possible notch.
 About 5000 second feet of water, or almost half of the rivers present discharge, is now going down the old channel, while the dam Is growing very rapidly.
 President Epes Randolph Is still on the scene and will probably remain a couple of days longer"

There seemed to be no possi- ble cause for fire to originate without premeditated assistance.

Demand for WOrkmen

~So much work Is going on at FL Centro and so much is planned for the future that it is impossible to secure enough men to handle it as rapidly as Is desired. At no time in the history of the valley has this occurred. but there Is certainly scarcity of laborers here and there will be no let up to the cry for help, for the cantaloupe season is coming on. This will increase the. demand. Building will keep right up, at Fl Centro. Before any one build Ing Is finished others will be planned and commenced.
