DIAMONDS SOUGHT BY
MINERS NEAR BANNING

BANNING, Dec. 1S.-The announce
ment that English capital is making a
still hunt for diamonds northeast of
Banning near Twenty-nine Palms, has
stirred the mining circles.
The Englishmen have hunted dia-
mOnds successfully in South Africa,
and made a visit to the desert of
Southern California in search of gold.
During the trip they were impressed
with the similarity of the topography
and rock formation that exists between
South Africa and this locality. There
! fore they are putting up good, hard
coin to learn the truth of the desert
country as it applies to diamond mines.
The English explorers may not find
diamonds, but their persistency may
be rewarded by rich disclosures of gold
and copper ore.

SEND DELEGATES
TO PHOENIX TONIGHT
FOR ROADS MEETING

Ell Centre citizens this morning got
busy on the matter of sending a rep
resentative delegation to Phoenix to
represent Imperial Valley at the good
roads convention. At this gathering it
is expected that some endorsement
will be made of a route from Arizona
to the coast, and naturally Imperial
Valley wants the transcontinental ira
vel that is sure to develop over such
a route to pass through this oasis.
The most direct route to the coast
is from Yuma to this valley and thence
through Devils canyon TO San Diego,
and representative from FL Centro
Holtville and CaleXico will be in at
tendance at the Phoenix meeting to
present the claims of this route.
County Surveyor c. y. Perry and
County Supervisor r. II. Clark will
lead the delegation that will leave to-
night for Phoenix Others who prob
ably will go are J. " Wachtel, Jr., Dis
trict Attorney Phil ID. Swing, c. E.
Sprouse, Winthrop Pier, e. G. Irwin
and F.. A. Reading.

GOVERNMENT MEN BEGIN
SURVEYING THE DESERT
Twenty Federal Employees Disembark
at Banning and Begin Big Task
Land May be Sold.

Twenty men employed by the gov
ernment have arrived at Banning.
They unloaded a carload of supplies,
hitched string of characteristic gov
ernment mules to camp wagons and
proceeded to the desert to survey Un-
Gle Sans domain.
Their operations will include the
territory lying between Whitewater
and Twenty-nine Palms. Much of the
desert has not been surveyed into sec
tions, only general survey having
been made years ago. The Southern
Pacific company owns every alternate
section near its line, by government
grant. The work now being done is
for the purpose of separating the gov
ernment land from the railroad land
The movement indicates desire or
the part of the railroad company tc
place the land on the market.

RANKEST FAKE RESORTED To BY
LOS ANGELES AGAINST VALLEY
SEEKS T0 PREVENT TRANSC0NTNENTAL AUTOMOBILE ROUTE
FROM PASSING THROUGH THIS REGION

map to persons not familiar with the
geography of this valley.
1t is impossible to determine from
this map just what route it is intend
ed to take, but it is apparently de-
signed to fool the people of Brawley,
as well as other towns OF the valley.
1t is true the road lin hugging the
barren desert north of the irrigated
section of the valley purports to
touch Brawley, but that town is sixty
or seventy miles out of place, and
when the route is adopted as out
lined, it will touch no town in the val
ley Instead of the tourists being
given a ride of forty miles or so be-
tween cultivated fields, they will nave
nothing but desert for the entire
route.
This knocking of Imperial Valley by
Los Angeles is typical of past rela-
tionship, and it looks as though that
city has come to believe that San Di-
ego is destined to have commercial
command in this valley and in South
ern Arizona, and is determined to pre-
vent development here. But if this
is fact, there is added reason why
the transcontinental route should fol-
low the sane course of passing
through a cultivated valley instead of
the desert and reach tideWater at the
nearest point. From that point the
tourists could follow the ocean to Los
Angeles.
Under any circumstances, Imperial
Valley must protest against being vic
timized to appease the jealousy of Los
Angeles against San Diego

TURKEYS ARE MOVING TO
THE HOLIDAY MARKETS
Carloads Moving Forward from FL Gen.
tro to Supply the Los Angeles Mar
ket and Other Coast Points.

Within the next three days $500
turkeys from the immediate vicinity of
Ell Centro will go onto the Los An
geles market. From Brawley, Imper-
ial, Holtville, Heber and Calexico ship
ments of turkeys will also be made, so
that there will be no dearth of turkeys
for the holidays.
Two express cars stand on the side
tracks at Ell Centro to be loaded with
turkeys. The Wells-Fargo Company
will ship out one load of turkeys to-
night, another Sunday night and still
on Modnay night Each car
will hold approximately 1900 turkeys,
The market price is II and Is cents
per pound.

I Once more Los Angeles appears on
Nthe scene as the chief knocker of I'M
perial Valley, and in carrying out its
knocking project it resorts to the pub
lication in the Times of map which
is most outrageously false.
The occasion for this assault on the
valley is determination to prevent
the transcontinental automobile road
going to San Diego Instead of that, it
would apparently have the road go
north of the valley, running down to
Brawley to get gasoline, then continu-
ing northwesWard through San Cor
gonio pass, following the railroad. The
argument for this route is so poor that
resort has been necessary to the most
false map ever seen in this region.
For instance, the Times map rep
resents Brawley as being fifty miles
east of Imperial Junction, instead of
eighteen miles south. Salton Sea is
marked down sixty miles northeast of
Imperial Junction, on the Chuckawalla
mountains, instead of three miles west.
The valley road runs east and west in
stead of north and south. Ell Centro
and Calexico are thirty and forty
HHiles off any railroad.
1t is not possible to attribute this
to ignorance, for there is no degree of
imbecility that would account for so
great departure from the truth as is
on this map, put forth by the good
roads promoters of Los Angeles and
the Los Angeles Times. 1t can only
be comprehended on the assumption
that it was hoped to capture the Phoe-
nix convention by showing the false

CIVIC SECTION BENEFIT
TWO NIGHTS THIS week
Women Of Ten Thousand Club Under
take to Raise Funds for Sidewalk
Cleaning and Rubbish Boxes.

The Civic Section of the WOmen's
Ten Thousand Club has arranged with
Manager Sawyer of the Holt Opera
House for a two nights benefit on
Tuesday and Wednesday nights of this
week. The Civic Section has under
taken to provide funds for the Sunday
sweeping of the sidewalks on Main
street and for the purchase of rub
bish boxes for this street, the neces-
sary street signs, etc. Every citizen
who has a pride in the neat appear
ance of the business section of Ell Cen
tro should aid the ladies of the Civic
Section in the work thus undertaken.
The program for this benefit will in
clude a presentation of 5000 feet of
photoplays. Principal will lbe the pro-
duction of "The Colleen Bawn." shown
in a 3000-foot film. This beautiful
drama has heart interest that is sure
to grip the attention of the audience
from start to finish. 1t is considered
one of the most remarkable presenta-
! tiOps of drama by means Of the moving
pictures.
For both nights the regular price
of Is cents is maintained. With the
opportunity to see a first-class pro-
duction and at the same time aid a
worthy civic improvement, the citizens
generally should be sure to attend
each night.

All water will be shut off from the

vey will show that much more land
than at first estimated can be brought

The original estimate was that 10000
acres could be served by this system,
but those who are in close touch with
the matter state that they now be-
