DAM NEEDED
Secretary Garfield Says Retaining
 Wall Is Needed at Colorado

James R. Garfield, secretary of the interior. and Director F. H. Newell of the reclamation service. spent Sunday inspecting the Laeuna dam and the headings of the California Develop ment company on the Co.orado river. At the latter point the officials viewed the work that had been performed to curb the overflow of the Colorado and prevent the inundatlon of thous- ands of acres of valuable land. The task was undertaken several months ago by E. A. Hartman and the cost ap proxlmated $1, 1,5oo,ooo.
 The Laguna dam is the key where by to control the Colorado river" said Secretary Garfield. Th's dam extends from rock bluffs on both sides so that when completed the water will be held vertically and horizontally.
 This arrangement will permit us to take 1t out of either side at a definite elevation and also to install slulceways for removing the heavy mud
 Eventually 1t will be possible to distribute water over valley lands on both sides. In our opinion the Inn perial country will never have an ab- solutely dependable supply of water until Its canal Is connected with dam extending completely across the river. Other sources may answer the valleys need for this generation and for the next but ultimately the Imperial valley will need such dam and the Laguna will be a convenient site.
 Should the imperial have no need for the connecting canal as water supply, the canal would be worth it's cost to the people as perpetual in- surance.
 President Roosevelts entire ad- ministration has been distinguished by a positive and aggressive policy look ing forward to conservation of the great natural resources belonging to the people in the waters, forests and fuels. It Is the work of the men he has gathered about him to lay out plans for the preservation of these forces"

Assumed too Much

Editor Howe of the Standard as- sumed too much in his paper of Aug ust 5th when he states in glarlng head lines that the Brewery Episode was confirmed by the w. C. T. U. He surely was wholly unauthorized to make any such statement when he and every one else knows that all the local unions are adjourned until after the hot season, nothing can be done in an authentic way. As my name Is used in the telegram l feel called upon to state my position on this subject and will hold myself responsible for such statement. l want It distinctly under stood that am not, in the least de- gree. in sympathy with the malicious, slanderous schemes that have been consistently waged against the char acter of Mr.. Holt and of which the Maier Brewing scheme seems to have been the climax.
 Sad indeed must be the straits of the Imperial leadership when they find It necessary to hide under the banner of the w. C. T. U. In order to carry ou, their nefarious scheme. They ought to know that the foundation principles of the w. c. T. U. are for building up character and helping our fellowman. Such course as they have taken will always recoll on their own heads. as has been proven In this campaign. want 1t further under stood that think the part Mrs. Edgar took in this matter was done in good faith as she, no doubt has been led to believe the truthfulness of this scheme and the statement she sent was pros- tltuted to a use different from what she had intended.

SANTA Ff RUMQRS
Evidence Pointing Ttward Another
 Road for Imperial Valley

The following Is clipped from the Esco ondido Advocate of last week, and would lead on to believe that probably Santa Fe road may cross our fer tile valley:
 The Advocate Is informed by a gentleman who has recently been in Los Angeles. that he was shown pro- file of the Santa Fe's proposed exten- sion of the Escondldo branch east and he was informed that as soon as the coast road was repaired from Los An geles to San Diego. which work Is now being rushed as fast as possible. that the Escondldo branch will be rebuilt and extended to Ramona. Warmers Hot Springs and on to the Imperial country to meet the road now being extended from Parker, Arizona. The Parker extension has all ready been graded to the Colorado river, and the grading crews are now in the eastern part of San Diego county working west toward the Imperial Valley When the road is completed 1t will traverse a new rich country that Is being rapidly developed, and will shorten the Santa Fe's lines from Chicago to the Coast over los miles.
 While this proposed extension will give Escondldo through line to the east. 1t will give Oceanside the advan- tages of terminal with division facll- lties. and will make that city the sea- side resort of a large portion of Me- vada. Arizona and Eastern California
 The benefits of such road to this section of San Diego county would be hard to compute. and it Is the Advo- cate's confident belief that new rall- roads and the vast productive re- sources of this section will b'ihg about conditions within the next few years that will attract wide attention.

LAND FRAUD

Afidavits have been filed at the land office in Los Angeles, which seem to disclose the fact that there have been more or less land frauds n the Imperial Val ley during the past four years. There has been a feeling to this effect among many of the older settlers. There are some very large tracts of land in the valley under one ownership and that in many instances there should have been some irregularity is not surprising to the most of us. It is the hope of the Press that these things be probed to the bottom. We are yet in our in- fancy, the county is young, and there can be no better time than now. If there are those who are guilty of wrong-doing let them come to justice and pay the pen alty. It is the duty of every settler to in every way possible assist anyone who starts to right such matters,
 The land rightfully belongs to the actual settler-the people and it is to them we owe our best efforts, but the land grabber, the fraudulent entry, the grafter, should as early as possible be taught that this is no place for him.
 Now that the question has arisen, let it be investigated to the fullest extent. The govern ment should look into the matter immediately. Better now than later, as time helps to cover many

The day after election the Standard comes out and says election will be contested. That there was fraudulent voting, cor ruption, etc. It says one man tried to vote four times at Fl Centro, and that he could not re- member the name under which he was to vote, and finally had it written down on a piece of paper. Howe should have continued that little story and told how the Imperial push paid this man money and filled him up with I'm perial booze to do this same thing, and that their plan failed and the man did not vote. That bvplay of Imperial's was watched very closely by the people of Fl Centro. The Imperial push tried in every way to cause some illegal act at this voting place, but failed in every instance. The only voting precinct in the valley where any semblance of corruption and fraud was con- mitted at the polls was at Imper- ial. There is sufficient evidence to this effect to throw out the Imperial precinct vote entirely. Should Imperial try a contest, the result will be that El Centro will have at least 100 more of a plurality than it has now
Imperial Valley press., 1907-08-10
tricks, and if tricks there be they are more discernible today than they will be tomorrow.

Throughout the entire new county there is a feeling of gen. eral satisfaction over the result of the election. Men who voted for Imperial have openly express ed themselves as satisfied, and say that if they had it to do over again they would vote for El Centro. The contest talk emi- hating from Imperial has a ten dency to disgust majority of that towns supporters. The election is overwith, and Fl Gen. tro won fairly and squarely. Im- perial had and held the entire "booze" vote, and with 1t she could not win. It was the clean, law-abiding vote which elected Fl Centro the county seat. El- intimate the "booze" vote from the totals and Fl Centro would be the winner by at least 100 more votes.
 The Character of the vote cast for Fl Centro is gratifying to all who desire a clean town, and are lawabiding. The vote vindica- ted those whose character the Imperial push would besmirch. It put the falsehoods back to them-it is said plainly, we don't believe you nor in you. The vote smashed ring that would have been far reaching in it's evil tendency.
 And now when this same push talks of contesting on the grounds of fraud, the general feeling is that what fraud was committed was done in their own precinct. And it was. The proof of this is at hand and available. The proof of corruption in Imperial on election day is overwhelming. But at present that is neither here nor there. The majority of voters,-the farmers and the town people-favored Fl Centro, and so voted. Imperial can only gain enemies by trying now to obstruct the progress of the new county.
