Ell CENTRIC TO BORE
FOR ARTESIAN WATER
PLANS FOR DRILLING TO DEPTH
OF 5000 FEET
Citizens VIII Start Operations at
Once and Continue Until a
Thorough Demonstration
Is Made

Special TO The Herald .'''t
Ell CENTRIC, May '16.-El Centre is
to take the lead in the Imperial valley
in an attempt to secure artesian water.
Within the ensuing week drill will be
In operation, almost in the heart of the
business district, and 1t is to be kept
going until water is struck or a thor
ough demonstration is made that this
cannot be accomplished
Plans for this drilling include boring
to the depth of 5000 feet, If necessary.
1t is believed, however, that a test hole
sunk to the depth of 1900 feet will be
sufficient to secure the desired water
supply.
A group of men interested in the de-
velopment of the city has undertaken
this work, and liberal donations for
this purpose have been made by w. F.
Holt, w. T. Bill, A. B. Helms and v.
e. Stockwell. They will devote $500 to
this test, and may double that sum if
1t seems desirable.
A contract has been made with the
Coachella Valley Development COM
pany, a firm which has carried on ex-
tensive we'll drilling operations in the
Coachella valley, and which also was
successful in striking fine supply of
water at BatGques, on the line of the
fornia. This firm will move it's drilling
machinery to Ell Centre and will be in
readiness to begin work on the new
test hole by Tuesday.
Select Central Site
Two lots at the corner of Fifth street
and Commercial street have been Sc
lected as the site for this experiment.
If water is struck, a twelve-inch well
will be put down.
The men directly interested in this
enterprise are greatly encouraged by
the findin,r of fine flow of pure soft
water at Bataques. While a greater
depth would have to be reached at Ell
Centre they feel reasonably certain
that this saL-e body of water may be
struck, and they also hope to pene-
trate to a saturated plane similar to
that which forms the artesian supply
at the northern end of Salton sea.
Should the hopes of sweet water be
dispelled by the striking of subter-
ranean stream of salt water, then the
we'll will be sunk and large natator-
ium will be erected to make use OF
these waters.

FOREST SET OFF AS NEW DIS
TRICT AND PUT UNDER ITS
OWN SUPERVISOR

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21-Some
important changes in the admins

central Idaho have been made since
the first of the year. The eastern
division of the Sawtooth national
forest embracing the Wood river
watershed, the, headwaters of the
Middle fork of the Salmon river
and the South fork of the Boise riv-
er has been established. This will
be known as the Sawtooth (eqst}
national forest and will be in charge
of Supervisor c. N. Woods, with
headquarters at Haley.
The Pavette national forest,
which has been in charge of Snpnr-
visor F.. Gradnjean at Boise, will be
placed in CHARGE of SuDervisor Guv
B. Mains, with Headquarters at

This division of the larger forests
! into smaller administrative units,
with headquarters located near the
forest, not only allows the SUPER
visor better chance to give person
al suuervision to the work of his

more convenient for the users of
the forest by placing the superv's-

DAVIS SPEECH
FIRST JEFFERSON DAVIS A
MARKED CONTRAST TO MAN
WHO NOW BEARS TVE SAME
NAME IN SENATE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Today
is the anniversary of cne of the most
memorable speeches ever delivered
in the United States senate, and that
fact is recalld by many aged men in
Washington who lived in the natio-
nal capital during those troubled
times. 1t was on January 21, 1861,
that Jefferson Davis, who later led
the lost cause to defeat. arose in his
place in the senate chamber and SCI
emn1y announced the secession nf
his state, Mississippi, from the
Union and his withdrawal from TIE
senate.
Those who heard the momentous
address Of Jefferson Davis declare
that it was a masterpiece of oratorv,
not impassioned, not vindictive, but
abounding in expressions of love for
his former colleagues and associa-
tions. 1t brought tears to the ewes

gentleman of the old school, hnt the
force of the orato" ii1 not serve
to hide the dents of feeling and tilo-
tion that animated the man.
The anniversary is espec' allv
memorable at this tim, because Of
the fact that the senate is now tie
center of the activities of another
Southerner bearing the same name.

who have had the opportunitv to
hear both men. however. declare
that the similarity between the two
men stops short AT the name. and
that the present Jefferson Davis, in

most the direct opposite of his dis

Will AMEND
ALDR|CH BILL
BANKS MUST PAY CASH OR GO
INTO HANDS OF RECEIVER
NO MORE CASHIERS CHECKS
TO STOP CURRENCY RAIDS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21-It was
decided late yesterday that the sem
ate committee on finance would hold
no more meetings for the considera-
tion Of the financial bill until after
the arrival of the mass of financial
data which has been requested from
the treasury department. Except in
a few particulars the bill is thought
to he in the shape in which it will
be reported. The treasury depart
ment figures however, may be the
means of settling certain conten-
tjons in the minds of some of the
members, and the data will there
fore be awaited.
1t is likely that the Aldrich bin
will be amended in s1ch manner as
to require banks taking advantage
of the opportunity to increase their
to cash checks and other
obligations with currency when 1t is
demanded, or go into the hands of
receiver
One senator has advanced the idea
that there is always tendency by
national banks to hoard their cur
rency in periods of financial de-
preston and it is believed that an
requiring them to pay
out the emergency currency on de-
mand will have the effect of causing
banks TO double their issues as well
as nay them out.
The clause relating to railraad
bonds was under discussion by the
Practically all of the
democrats of the committee except
Teller are in favor of elimi-
mating railroad bonds as a means Of
securing currency issues.

DICK LAW IS

CONGRESS MAY BE FORCED TO

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The
Dick military law, which was orig
inally designed to become effective
today, will probably pass through
many changes before it becomes ac-
eeptable TO the military organiza-
tions of a majority of the states.
Statements of the organization of
the organization of the national
guard, made by inspectors of the
war department, show that in a
large number of state the require
ments of the Dick act have not been
complied with. Under the terms of
the act, compliance is necessary to
secure the annual federal appropria-
tion for arms and equipment.
Senator Charles Dick of Ohio
fathered the bill and embraced in it
the ideas arising from a connection
of many years with the militia of his
home state. The reports received
from inspectors state that changes
will be necessary in nearly every
state before the contemplated re-
forms can become effective. Some of
the changes are of radical nature,
and the state militia officials have
objected strenuously
Many military authorities declare
that it will be almost impossible TO
bring the militia of all the states up
to the standard Of the regular army.
A few of the most populous Eastern
and Central states will be able to
accomplish this, although they have

forms in the organization of their
