IMPERIAL, Cal, July 28.-Residents
of the Imperial valley are greatly
wrought UP over the irrigation situa-
tion in connection with the Colorado
river which, it is said, threatens the
destruction of a million dollar cotton
crop and a half million dollars worth
of other crops in the valley. So
aroused have the people become that
threats are heard of an armed upris-
ing of the people of the valley to seize
the pile driver and dredge of the South

filiated corporations now lying idle at
the intake of the Imperial valley irri-

of the valley. Many kilograms were
sent today by people of the valley urg-
ing the railroad company and sub
sidiary company, the California De-
velopment company, and the California
Mexico Land and Cattle company, to
do something to save the situation.
A permit was recently given by the
government for the construction of a
levee across the Colorado river by the
California Development company, ana
upon it's completion and the dredging
of 1900 feet of canal to insure a con-

A pile driver and dredge were pro-

frame of mind and are threatening
to arm themselves and seize the irri-

Word was received today that the
California Mexican Land and Cattle

Imperial canal in Mexico to secure ad-

NEW YORK GANGS
FIGHT WITH GUNS
Three Are Seriously and Twenty
Painfully Injured in
Street Battle
ASSOCIATED Press)

NEW YORK, July 2S.-Three men
were seriously wounded and twenty
others more or less severely hurt early
today in the most serious gang fight
which has occurred in New York city
in many years. Police reserves in
military formation, summoned by the
helpless patrolmen on the west side
beat where the trouble broke out,
charged on the rioters and put an end
to the disturbance only after nearly
100 shots had been fired by members
of the quarreling clans. According to
the police reports, four gangs OF
toughs participated and for fully half
an hour fought hand to hand with re-
volvers, sticks, stones and any other
weapons which were available.
The fight was precipitated when the
members of the Bear Athletic club,
after a dinner in Tenth avenue beer
garden, began to leave the resort short
ly after midnight While the banquet
was in progress the roughs from rival
organizations had begun to gather at
a neighboring street corner. Accord
ing to the police "The Gophers," the
jungle Gang" and the Hounds of
He'll" all organizations with which the
officers of the law have had eXpe-
rience, were represented in the mob at
the corner.
With the appearance of the Bear
club diners the fight commenced With
yells, curses and shouts the waiting
gangsters threw themselves upon their
rivals. Then some one fired a revolver
and in an instant gun play was the
order of the hour. The firing contin-
ued at irregular periods until the ap-
pearance of the police reserves.
Whenever a gangster fell he was un-
mercifully beaten and kicked The en-
tire neighborhood was thrown into
panic.
Many of the injured were carried off
by their companions before the arrival
of the police. Fully 125 men were still
engaged in the battle when the re-
serves reached the scene. A half dozen
arrests were made.

TREASURE ENDS HIS LIFE

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, July 2S-
Michael Whitney, aged seventy-four
years, ended his life, shooting himself
through the heart, tonight in the coun-
ty hospital. Whitney is an old time
sailor and participated in several ex-
peditions after--buried pirate treasure

trip was as a member of the party on
the Rover sailing from San Francisco
in 1879. Later the vessel was wrecked
on the island off the South American
coast. The party subsisted on roots
and wild fruit for two months until
rescued by a passing tramp steamer,

prominent politician of Chicago, and
Capt. Tom, Whitney also of Chicago.

AerOnautS of All Classes Seek
Contracts to Appear at
Dawn of Gold
HAMILTON NOW NEGOTIATING
Curtiss Had Agreed to Come for
$4,000 but Is Detained
by Lawsuit
Especial to The Herald

SACRAMENTO, July 28.-Aviators,
balloon men, inventors of new types of
rigfbles-declared to be improvements
on the Zeppelin model-and aeronauts
of all classes and descriptions are anx-
ious to exhibit their airships and show
their skill in navigating them during
the Fiesta of the Dawn of Gold.
The general fiesta committee is daily
in receipt of applications, personal and
by letter, from knights of the air, offer
ing their services at prices ranging
from $500 to $2500 a flight Each indf-
Vidual applicant is confident that his
exhibition will be a winner, attract
thousands to the fair grounds daily,
and insure the financial success of the
fiesta.
These applications are all taken un-
der advisement, and the public can rest
assured that should any unforeseen
hitch occur to prevent the carrying out
of the program as already arranged,
the committee can on short notice en-
gage sufficient aeronautic talent to give
the greatest and most diversified eX
hibition of aerial evolutions ever wit
messed on the American continent.
Possibly some of the flying machines
might refuse to fly, and others might
inadvertently come down ahead of
schedule. OF course in the latter event,
the operators would be surprised ana
peeved, and possibly the fair grounds
would be mussed up a bit but the ad-
ditional excitement thus furnished to
the spectators would in a measure
offset any disappointment they might
feel for the failure of the flyers to fly
according to Hoyle.
HAMILTON ASKS $4,000.
Curtiss offered to make seven fights
for $4,000 and the committee wired its
acceptance of the offer Now Curtiss
fears that he may be detained in the
east by certain litigation that is pend
ing, and wants to send a substitute If
he is unable to come himself. The
committee is not inclined to accept the
amended proposition, and is negotiating
with Hamilton. Hamilton is a great
attraction in the east since his sensa-
tional record breaking performance in.
flying from New York to Philadelphia
and back again. He is said to be
more spectacular performer than Cur
tiss.
Hamilton is modest. He wants $15,-
900 for seven flights, and he may be
worth all he asks. 1t is expected that
negotiations will be closed and con-
tract agred upon within the next day
or two. visitors to the fiesta will see
one of the greatest man-birds In the
world in g flying exhibition, whether II
be Curtiss, Hamilton or some other ex-
pert. That much is settled, and 1t
looks now as though Hamilton will be
the attraction.

Advices from all parts of Ida
no are to the effect that Cover
nor Brady is the choice of the
Republican party for Governor.
His record as Governor of Idaho
for the past eighteen months has
been so satisfactory to the peo-
pie that they want him re-elect-
ed, for they know that he is all
right. Knowing this they do
not care to swap horses in the
middle of the stream. Governor
Brady has kept bis pledges with
the people, and what more could
be asked or expected !? His acts
have been open and above board
as his whole life, and his admin
istration clean and business
like. Whenever any graft has
shown up among State officials,
as in the affair of Register
Church, Governor Brady has
been prompt in bringing the Of
tenders to justice. Governor
Brady is a thorough and shrewd
business man, and his admins
tratiOn of the affairs of the State
shows that he is fully qualified
to manage big affairs. Idaho is
young and growing State and
is destined to be one of the great
est States in the Union, and oul
people want a man like Cover
nor Brady at the helm for anoth
err two years, and they are going
to have him, unless we are badly
mistaken.

Of these lands it is thought that
the field work on the surveys
will not be finished until toward
the end of the season.
Very respectfully,
s. V. PROUDFIT,
Acting Commissioner.
This survey is what our peop-
lie have wanted for years, and it
is through Joe Hill that it has
been ordered. No matter what
ones opinion is, it cannot be de-
MED by any one but That Mr..
Hill is booster for Custer coun-
ty. Give credit to whom credit
is due. It was no other than Joe
Hill who induced Messrs. Truitt,
LINE, and others, to put in irli-
CATION works, now almost com
pleted, known as the Saln on
River Land & Irrigation Co., to
reclaim five or six thousand acres
of good farm land in this valley
on the east side of Salmon river.
And it is no other than Joe Hill
who has induced caEitalists to
come here, and who will un-
doubtedly put in the Challis
Greek reservoir which will re-
claim eight thouaand acres OF
good farm land in Round Valley,
on the west side of Salmon riv.
err. So much for the credit tc
Joe Hill, whether the people Of
Custer county send him to the
legislature next fall or not.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1910-06-28

Joseph M. Hill has been work
ing industriously to have about
200, 900 acres OF good farming
land-a good portion of which
is occupied and improved-sur-
veyed by the Government, so
that holders of said lands can
get title thereto, and at the
same time when it is patented,
will give Custer county a big
revenue in the way of taxation.
He first took up the matter with
the Boise officials, but they did
not give him any satisfaction,
so he took the matter up with
Senators Hepburn and Borah, at
Washington, and Senator Hey
burn got an appropriation bill
through Congress the other day
to have this land surveyed.
1t includes all the unsurveyed
agricultural land from Mr.. Ste
phens ranch to the mouth of
Pahsamaroi river, and the un-
surveyed land from Casper
Mock's ranch up Salmon river,
including East Fork, Stanley,
Sawtooth and Cape Horn val

UNCLE JOE is NOW ON
HIS LAST TERM.
lie Sees the Handwriting
on the Wall.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 21.-Is "Ua-
Gle joe Cannon, serving his last term
as speaker of the United States house
of representatives He has felt him
self slipping for some time, and close
friends of the speaker will say now
that he never again will be able to
muster strength enough to re-elect
him the mighty wielder of the gaveI'
in the house. This opinion has not
been reached by an reason since the
insurgent Republicans and the Reno
Gratis caught the regulars of the ma
chine mapping a few days ago, refus-
ing to permit Cannon to name the
members of the house that should rep
resent that body on the committee that
viii investigate the Ballinger- Pinchot
episode. Instead, this sentiment has
been gaining strength ever since he
was elected to serve the present term
as speaker. and since the tariff has
been disposed of it has become GER
tainly with many of the closest friends
of Cannon that he can never expect
to be reelected to the high and pow
erful Office which he now holds.
A Republican member of the house,
and a strong Cannonite, was heard to
say about the time the present session
of Congress opened
eve have put Uncle Joe across for
the last time as speaker of the house"
At the same time there was an init
nation that the Republican regulars
were looking around for a good man
to select as his successor. The feeling
is that if Cannon comes to the con
clusion that he cannot be reelected
as Speaker, he will not care to con-
tinue as an ordinary member of the
house. This seems quite feasible and
the public need not be surprised with
the announcement that Uncle Joe"
will not be a candidate for reelection
to congress.
