OCKERSON ON THE JOB
Government Engineer Visits Valley and Revses His Views. Alp. proves Work on the
 River.

Engineer Ockerson, appointed by President Taft to take charge of work on the Colorado river, is not a stranger in the Southwest, having been on the river about four years ago as consulting engineer for the Yuma project. He has done much work of building levees to control delta streams and is a member of the Mississippi River Commission.
 MT. Ockerson came over from Yuma last Tuesday, inspected the work at the heading, accompanied Judge Cole and Receiver Holabird on their re- turn trip to Calexico, and was taken by engineer Scobey and F. s. Web ster on an automobile tour of the val ley before returning to Yuma What he saw on that tour of nifty miles changed his views of the Imperial Valley situation.
 MT. Ockerson said it Was generally believed in Washington that Imperial Valley lands were held for specula- tion by non-residents and that one would have to go to LOS Angeles and San Francisco to find the owners. He had no idea that the land was actutlly reclaimed and farmed by bona fide settlers. Now he knows that to be the fact and realizes the importance of the work undertaken by the gov ernment for protection of this great valley of farms and cities.
 MT. Ockerson said the valley people need not be disturbed for a moment by the etitions of Yuma people for revocation of the permit to place a temporary weir dam in the Colorado If any notice should be taken of the petitions, the matter would be re- ferred to him, and he would put it straight. The work should go on, and it could not injure Yuma in the slight est degree.
 MT. Ockerson will establish a camp on the river near the Abejos break and begin the work. of surveying as soon as he can organize a party oi assistants inured to the climate. Per- mission for engineering parties to operate in Mexico territory has beer granted by the Mexican authorities.

RETURNS FROM SAD JOURNEY
F. B. Fuller Arrives in Fl Centro After Trip to Texas, Where His Wife
 Died at the Old Home.

The deep sympathy of not only the people of El Centro but those from many parts of Imperial Valley is eX- tended to MT. F. B. Fuller in his be- reavement through the loss of his wife, who died about midnight on the night of July 23, at Glen Rose, Texas.
 Mrs. Fuller, who had been in ill health for the past two years, went to the home of MT. Fuller's sister, Mrs George l.. Booker, at Glen Rose, eight weeks before her death hoping that the change would be beneficial. Sh was able to be around the home for a while, but gradually became weaker until she was confined to her bed, and the end came peacefully.
 MT. Fuller had been notified of the serious condition of his wife, and hastened from El Centro to be with her, but her death occurred while he was on the way, and the funeral had taken place before he reached his des- tination. Services were conducted at the grave, which is beside that of MT Fullers mother, by the Methodist pas tor of Glen Rose. The funeral took place on July "A, just one day before the ninth anniversary of the wedding of Mir. and Mrs. Fuller.
 F. B. Fuller and Mary Silome Moore were married on July 25, 1901, at Quanah, Texas. To them were born two childrC e, son and a daughter, who are now respectively eight and four years old. MT. and Mrs. Fuller were among the early settlers in Inn perial Valley and were among the very first residents of El Centro. Mrs. Fuller's life here endeared her to all who knew her. She was a cultured musician and writer of ability.
 MT. Fuller returned to El Centro OH Tuesday from his sad mission to Texas. His children have been taken by their aunt, Mrs Marvin Moore, to the coast for the summer.
