ALLEGED BLINO-pIGGING
First Complaints For Violation of the Liquor Ordinance in History
 of El centro.

Since incorporation. nearly year ago. the city of El Centro has been 'notoriously" free from the operations of illicit liquor sellers. The first com. plaints for violation of the ordinance against traffic in liquor were made last week as the result of. discoveries alleged to have been made by detec. lives through diligent investigation and secret watching. Attempts to intro duce vicious and immoral features in to the life of the city had been frus- trated by citizens of El Centro long before the Imperial Daily Howl set up it's clamor about the depravity of the county seat. The "clean-up" was ac- complished quietly and without diff culty. That there has been furtive evasion of the liquor ordinance re- mains to be shown in court. It has not been "open and notorious" enough to be apparent to citizens not hunting for it.
 Charged with keeping a place where malt and intoxicating liquor to-wit: beer was sold, furnished and given away" in violation of city or dinance No 6, five men were placed under arrest by City Marshal Bradford Friday evening of last week. They were E. S. Hei,l druggist at the El Centro drug store, against whom com plaint is made by J. w. Colson w. B. Gibson and Frank Preston, proprietors of pool hall against whom Ira Aten is the complainant, and William liar kins and William Hire, employees of the pool room proprietors, against whom Robert J. Craig is the com. plainant
 The men were taken before City Recorder J. F. Tout and their hearing was set for last Monday. Absence of the City Attorney caused a postpone. ment, as the defendants wished to argue a demurrer with the City At torney present at the time of argu ment. The hearings were postponed until 10 o'clock of next Monday. It is understood that a special attorney from the California Anti-Saloon League will come from Los Angeles to assist the prosecution of these cases.

WATER RATE COMPROMISE.

MT. !. E. Eldridge, formerly of San Diego and now of Roswell, N. M., writes to The Press that the first pe- tition to fix water rates was with drawn under instructions from the of ficers of District 9 because of a com promise arrangement with the Cali fornia Development Co., MT. Eldridge adds: The c. D. Co. has not offered me a dollar nor would I accept such at their hands. I have up to this time been paid nothing, but have the prom ise of the officers of No 9 and No. 12 that l will receive a fee at such time as the same may be arranged. I have accepted such promise. It was on be- half of No 9 that the proceedings were begun and acting for them, what else could I do but respect and abide by their instructions"

DANGER IN DELAY
District Attorney Urges Early Adjustment of Water Dis- putes and Diligence in Extending Irrigation
 System

The Board of Supervisors doubtless will be requested again by petition to fix the rate at which the California Development Company shall sell water to settlers in the valley. In an opinion on the question of the duty of the board to take such action, District Attorney Eshleman points out the dan ger of delay in arriving at settle ment of the various questions affect ing the relations of canal companies and water users. The District At. torney says:
 Tt is my opinion that the California Development Company has appropri- ated water for sale within this county and so subject to regulation. This, however, being a question of fact, it is for you to determine from the evi- dence produced before you, If you conclude to fix the rate, then your ac- tion will in no wise affect any valid contract now in existence, nor will 1, affect the power of any parties ill. volved freely to contract in the flu ture
 The only thing that makes the ap- propriation of water from the Colo rado River by the California Develop. ment Company valid is the applica- tion of that water to a beneficial use. If after initiating the project it be not prosecuted with reasonable diIi- gence there is danger that the com pany will lose it's prior right to the waters of the Colorado It is very plain that if anything should happen to divest the California Development Company, and thereby this valley )f its prior right to the flow of the Colo rado River, that what are now waste places now will be waste places for all time It is significant fact that ;he Reclamation Service treats the Califor- nia Development Company's right to any more water than that which is actually used as invalid. If their p F. sItlon is correct. and there is strong legal ground for assuming it to be SO. then there is no safety to any holder of land under the flow of the Califur nia Development Company's system who has not already secured apo priated water to his use. Suppose We are using on the lands in this valley one-third the amount of water that is necessary to irrieate this entire 70

A W|NN|NG STREAK
El Centro Again Victorious With BrawIey as Vctim-Game
 Sunday.

Fl CentrO kept up her winning streak Sunday by defeating Brawley to ?. The game was comparatively easy for the visitors and but for a wild throw, Brawley would have been shut out. Trippett pitched effectively for El Centro. and although he did not have perfect control at all times was there at the critical periods. Every man on the team fielded splendidly and the hitting and base running was the kind which wins games. This victory together with that over Holt vile the previous week entirely changes the situation and it is again anybody's race with Fl Centro right in line for the pennant.
 Sunday Brawley will play in Fl Cen tro and everybody should turn out to see how fast the home team can play. Every game is important now and a big attendance will do much to en- courage the boys to play their best.

perfected the appropriation by using the water, but suppose now the Rec. lamation Service or any other agency should initiate au irrigation scheme Gp somewhere in A.izOra to take oui all the water reuait rg in tte riscr V hich is not already devoted to pub. lie use. There is TO other place iu the world from which we can sect, a water except from the Colorado river. and if such a scheme shoulC 9t con. sTmmated, thSrcby limiting us to Che a9nunt of water we now use. tFis. for al time, would ho desert here < is nos desert and fertile land where it is now fertile laud
 This is no idic dream. ani it is in the realm of more than possibility yes, even probability. that such a thing might happen if there should be serious delay in getting the remaining lands in this county under irrigation Therefore it is incumbent upon you as the Board of Supervisors, and the citizens of the County of Imperial. and the California Development Company as all jointly interested, to do every thing in your power to expedite set clement of our tangled water condi- tions with a view that we may not have an inadequate supply of water for our land or become the junior ap. proprietor in part to others, who through their vigilance. have secured the water upon land in other locali. ties
 Therefore 1 would urge you with all the earnestness I possess that this be the matter that you should consider with the most care and that you take such action that you deem most like ly to promote an early adjustment of our disputes. The present unsettled condition where some believe our contracts illegal, other hope to se- cure water without paying an initial price, and others from other causes are delaying to get the water actually applied to their land, all spells de- ] lay and delay may be fatal to the interest of large portion of this county"
