CITY TRUSTEES TAKING
ACTION AGAINST EPIDEMIC

The city trustees of Ell Centro at
their, regular meeting last evening
were addressed by DR.. Virgil Nc
Combs, county physician and health
officer, who had just returned from
a period OF some days in Los Angeles,
and while there attended cOnsulta-
southern California.
DR. McCombs reported that up to
the time he left Los Angeles there
had been 211 cases Of infantile paraly-
sis, with As deaths. OF these cases
more than three-fourths were of
children under six years of age, while
the other fourth included people OF
all ages up to 80 years.
He urged the trustees to take steps
to prevent the Introduction of the
disease into the valley, saying there
is not case here, but he did not
think quarantine against the coast
believe it would be effective, there
being TOO many ways in which the
disease could be introduced.
He recommended however, that
the trustees take steps to prevent
children going to any assembly or
congregating on the streets or play
ground. holding that as much as pos
sible, beginning now. the children OF
each household should be kept by
themselves.
In accordance with this recommen-
dation, the board passed a resolution
calling on parents TO keep the child
ren from places OF public amusement,
from Sunday schools and all other
places where they would come in con-
tact with other children.
DR.. McCOmbs says that there have
been few cases in most of the other
towns of southern California, and
that the disease is widely scattered
over the country, having spread from
New York. where II originated.

PRESIDENT TAFT VET0ES

special message TO the house, Presi-
dent Taft vetoed the steel bill be-
cause 1T would be a serious blow TO
the iron and steel industry, and would
be revision of the tariff without am
pie study and investigation
The veto message said that despite
the Democratic statements that the
White bill is designed TO revise the
iron steel products. only one-third Of
the revisions affected these products.
1t asserted that 80 allied industries
would be affected. II declared: The

CITY WATER SYSTEM WILL
DEMAND BETTER PLANT

Now that the time is approaching
for the bond election to raise money
to extend the water system to new
sections of the city, the trustees are
beginning to give thought to another
problem which will be presented in
the near future.
The fact is that all the towns in
the valley have a big problem in ex-
tracing the silt from the water used
i'll the domestic water systems. The
people here have not lived in the val
ley long enough to have acquired a
liking for the nutriment contained in
the silt which Mark Twain described
as possessed by the natives along the
Missouri. Those people, according to
Mark, always used spoon to stir up
the sediment before drinking the
water.
The water used in Imperial valley,
aside from the sediment carried, is
purer than that served in most re
gions, but to take out the sediment
is not easy.
A series of settling basins has been
provided, and lately a system for
pumping out the sediment was intro
duced, but this has not been a COM
plete success.
The trustees are now looking for
ward to the time, not far removed,
when they will be obliged to resort
to another system, and they are Civ
ing thought to the acquisition of a
small acre tract of land five miles
south and one west of the city, near
the five gates, which is of no value
for farming, but which would be
splendidly adapted to the needs of the
water system, it is believed. The
chief advantage of this piece of land
is that it forms a small basin and lies
on the banks of New River, where
the silt could be flushed into the can
yon, doing no one damage and fur
nishing a permanent solution of the
problem.
1t is not improbable that the ac-
quisition of this piece of land and its
utilization will constitute the next
public work to be taken up

FOUR COATS IN
HIS POSSESSION
JOHN MALOY AND BILL RICHIE
ARE DETAINED AT POLICE
HEADQUARTERS WHILE THE
STATE is INVESTIGATING
OTHER POLICE COURT NEWS.

The city police are holding John
Maloy and Bill Ritchie at the station
and they are charged with the larceny
o. at least foul coats and one of them
is q $50 Coonskin that was taken IN
front of the William Rosen store.
Early last evening the police nabbed
Ritchie who was ~endeavoring to dis
pose of a coat on Front street. AS it
was a new coat and he could not give
a good story as to how 1t came into
his possession he vas taken into
custody. Shortly after this Maloy was
captured and three coats were found in
his possession, and mona them was
the coonskin garment.
1t is alleged by the police that Maloy
took the garments from in front of
different stores and that Richie was
the one who was endeaVoring to sell
them. Mr.. Rosen has identified his
garment. The state has the case for
investigation, ...r
One of the ice cream companies has
been missing articles and yesterday a
ten pound case of butter was found
gone. 1t was traced to an employe of
the plant who was taken to police
headquarters, where he made a
CONFESSION DIS " Tie ddH5~
action. As he had hitherto been a
good man about the work 1t was decid-
I'd to give him another chance as he
made any professions of reformation.
Henry Peterson. who has a pool
room on Front street was arrested
last evening by Chief of Police Keefe
on a charge of having had his rooms
open after IL o'clock which is against
the ordinances of the city. He will
have a hearing before Police Judge
Miller.
There were half a dozen DRINKS be-
fore the police court this morning and
they were given the usual punishment
made and provided for in such cases.
Chief Keefe states that it would be
wise during the holiday season for tlN
merchants to either take in their gar
mentsi from the fronts of the stores
or to keep a very watchful eye on
them, as petty larceny is by no means
infrequent just now.
