people. who came voluntarily and
gave over their sovereignty to this
country. with an understanding def

by the organic act as to the MEASURE

Now the gentleman seems to as

is no reason at all why II should not
proceed to exercise that power. But.
gentlemen, We have shown that the
legislature of the Territory OF Ha-

government for ten years, has been
highly satisfactory; that that coun-
try is In a progressive condition as

County Fair Gets a Part of the Boards Advertising Fund. Vacancy on County Board of Education Filled By Eleetio of w. T. Tslbert, of Imperial.

 Dr. C. w.

Leta Bryan, court setno- grapher, was called, and sworn to take report of said statement. Dr. Hib- bard was sworn and made the state ment
 William Woodcock, also represent ing the Sunset Magazine, appeared before the Board and offered to cancel the advertising contract and to re- lease Imperial County from any pay ment under this contract. The propo- sition of whether said contract should be cancelled was submitted to a vote and roll call showed Supervisors Me Harg, Clark and Webster voting no, and Supervisors. Ferguson not voting.
 It was moved by Supervisor Web ster, and seconded by Supervisor Clark, that it is the unanimous opinion of this Board that the contract with the Sunset Magazine of September 6, 1910, for advertising Imperial County, was obtained without any undue in fiuence upon the Board or any member of the Board This motion was car ried by unanimous vote.
 Communications from the Sunset Magazine to Sidney McHarg, dated October II and 20 and a telegram from c. w. Hubbard, dated October II, were received, read and ordered filed

of the facts, or the Brawley papers denials, confessedly the expression of dense ignorance
 The profiles show that on June '17 the river bottom was ten feet \below the sill of the headgate, while the bottom of the intake was eight feet above the sill There was depth of six feet of water in the intake. the river being in flood.
 On July IS the river bottom was one foot above the gate sill The in- take had been dredged so that the highest point in the bottom. was four feet above the sill There was a depth of five and a half feet of water in the intake. But for the dredging, the depth of water flowing through the intake would have been only one foot and half at most probably less because of additional deposit of silt.
 On August IA, the river bottom was at sill level, with a bar between the channel and the intake eight feet above the sill, and only two feet of water over the bar. The bottom of the intake was four feet above the sill, and the depth of water was six feet. Had the intake not been dredged, the depth of water would have been two feet or less.
 On September 26, the river bottom was three feet above the sill, the bar six feet above and the bottom of the intake three feet above. Depth of water in intake nine feet. If not dredged, depth of water would have been four feet or less
 On October 10, river bottom was one foot below the sill, bar seven feet above. intake two feet above, depth of water nine feet. If not dredged, depth of water would have been three feet or less.
 Without the weir dam and with the dredging, there would have' been no water in the intake at the rivers low est stage. Without the dredging and with the dam there would have been a flow of less than two feet depth in July and August instead of a depth of six feet
 Clearly, dredging the intake did not make matters worse" but did laid in averting shortage" Which is why the Press maintains that Re- ceiver Holabird was not derelict in his duty when he dredged the intake. and that the Brawley News is not correctly informed on the water ques- tion.

EFFECT OF DREDGING
Surveys Show That Work at Intake Aided In Averting Water Shortage.

We said the dredging in the intake only made matters worse. The Press says: The dredging was necessary to meet an emergency; it did help to avert an immediate shortage of water and il did aid in saving crops" We are so densely ignorant that we deny this bare assertion. The dredging in the intake did not avert a shortage of water or save crops. Both things were done by the dam in the river, and but for the dam no water could have been had.-Brawley News.
 It will be noted that the Press said dredging helped to avert" not did avert" shortage. The engineers profiIes, made from surveys and sound-ings, are better evidence thad our assertions, based upon knowledge
