 to $5O,0OO, will be borne by the C.-M. Co. or the government or by both jointly, as the delivery of flood waters to the delta is one of the considera- tions for the right of way for the pro- tective levee through the land of the C.-M. Co.
 Receiver Holabird's party inspected the Delta dredge at noon on Monday, camped for the night on the river bank some miles below and arrived at Sharps on Tuesday afternoon. The actual running time of the boat, not counting time taken for stops en route, was eleven hours, and the distance travelled was fifty miles.
 All along the natural channel of the Alamo the work of beavers was in evidence, hundreds of willow trees having been felled by them, but none of the busy animals were seen. Their lodges, presumably, are in the slack water of the lagoons on either side of the river, where numbers of beaver were trapped last winter The hermit caretaker on the Gamma dredge puts in his spare time, of which he has plenty, catching coyotes, wildcats, rac- coons and snakes; in which sport he has the enthusiastic assistance of a sociable bulldog. The bulldog has been struck by rattlers so often that he. has learned to doctor himself and is virtually immune to the venom. His friend, the hermit, says the dog opens the fang wounds with his teeth and sucks out the venom. The man shows the fourteen rattles of snake that coiled around his leg one night, and he says he saved himself from being bitten by grabbing the snake back of the head with his bare hand Incidents of that sort relieve the mo notony of his lonesome life and keep him interested. Also they amuse the bulldog.
 The boat party saw no snakes and but one coyote, and ducks were not very plentiful; but looms, herons, coots and other marsh birds were numerous and unafraid

APPRECIATES SUPPORT GIVEN.

Editor Fl Centro Press
 Will you allow me the courtesy of your paper in which to extend to many friends my deepest gratitude for their support during the political campaign just closed? I was the recipient of constant and varied kindnesses, of words of encouragement, of apprecia- tion and confidence, unlimited in de- gree, and of courtesies that made easy an otherwise difficult effort. My regret at failure of election is greatest because of those who gave me their support. My appreciation of that faith in me is unbounded In my journey ings l met such grand men and women that my faith in glorious future of this Imperial Valley, always strong, is greatly increased. have formed ac- quaintances that I hope always to en- roll among my friends. in this is fullest compensation for all that was not gained Ever truly

Another Special
Prize.
Fine Watch to the Young Lady
Who Has Made the Great
est Gain by Saturday,
August 6, at Four
O'clock.

In order to reward the ladies
who are making the race for the
work they are doing, and in order
to keep things at a fever heat,
we have decided to give a fine
watch to the young lady who has
made the greatest gain in votes
up to 4 o'clock August 6. Miss
Eaton and Miss McAboy can not
compete for the watch for the
reason that they have each won
a special prize, but they are in
the race for the piano and other
prizes, just the same.
The watch will be a fine one,
and any young lady would be
proud to own it. Remember,
when the clock strikes 4 on Aug
ust 9th the count will be made
and the watch will be awarded to
the winner.

Before Long the Contest
Will Close.

Promptly at 4 o'clock some
afternoon before very long the
News voting contest will be
brought to a close, and some very
proud young lady is going to be
awarded a very fine piano. And
it is necessary that you watch
the News if you want to know
when the closing date is.
After the closing date is an
nounced it will be only short
time until the end. So, young
lady, if you are not working for
the prize you ought to be.
Several of the ladies have
made big gains the last few days.
On the 9th day of August we
are going to give a nice watch to
some Young lady who has not
won either of the other special
prizes, who makes the greatest
gain in votes since the second
day of July up to the 9th day OF
August, at 4 p. m. And the
young lady who gets this watch
will proudly wear it, for it will
be a good one.
In the meantime get busy with
your hustling for the piano. You
do not need to cast your votes
unless you want to until the last
week of the contest. You can
hold them back, but be sure and
send in the names of persons en-
titled to credit, so we can enter
the names on the books.

'TEMPEsT AND SUNSHINE"
AT OPERA HOUSE TONIGHT

Miss Mabel Paige, the Idol of
the south" win appear at the OPP
era House tonight in Tempest and
Sunshine"
Tempest and Sunshine" is a
sweet simple story of domestic life
in Kentucky, based upon certain in
cidents from the book by Mary j.
Holmes Of the same name. All the
principal characters are shown in
the play, in fact the dramatization
follows the book very closely. The
play is interspersed with laughable
comedy scenes, which are furnished
by the two negro servants. Joshua
Middleton has two daughters, Julia
and Fannie, who are nick-named
Tempest" and Sunshine" ITEM
pest" being a selfish, pessimisticaI
girl with an ungOVernable temper,
while Sunshine" is Just the opposite.
Both girls are equally loved by their
parents, who have tried to do all in
their power for their welfare and
future; they both fall in love with
the same man, and Tempest" at
once starts a conspiracy, but the old
story follows. All ends well and
everybody is made happy. Miss Paige
will be seen in the charming charac-
ter OF Sunshine" All the members
OF the company will be well cast.
