ASKS PERMISSION TO

Active Work May Soon Commence
for the Bernce Water
Company

Receiver Holabird of the California
Development Company has asked per-
mission of Judge Walter Bordwell to
construct dam across the Alamo
river. together with distributing sys-
TEN for the Bernice Water Company
The judge has personally visited the
scene of the proposed new system and
it is probable that his answer may be
forthcoming soon.
According to the plans of the Ber-
nice, Water Company, dam built
across the Alamo a few hundred yards
east of the lockwood bridge will raise
the water high enough to create a
gravity flow over 10000 or more acres
of land north of Brawley
AS the receiver is limited i'll his
financial resources, an agreement has
been reached whereby the company
will raise the money for the work
to be repaid later by the receiver
in water rentals. Final arrangements
have not yet been made.
Unless some serious difficulty should
arise, Chief Engineer Allison expects
to have water in the bitches of the
new company before summer.-Braw

yV1HAT OF 1912?

w What in the world is the
matter Of January, 1912? A great
conference is in progress in Los Ang-
eles, attended by representatives of
all parts Of California, looking for
ward to a big boost for the far South
west in 1915.
But why not do something in 1912?
With the greatest opportunity. ever
afforded in the history of the state
for placing tens of thousands of fam
lilies in positions on irrigated farm
lands where they would contribute
millions of dollars yearly to the pros
perity of the whole state, the big
papers of the cities remain dumb and
unresponsive to the magnificent posi-
bilities.
While these papers are yelling them
selves hOarse in shouting for 1915,
will not some one of them pause long
enough to answer these questions:
What in the world is the matter with
January, 1912?
Even while preparing for the future
why not live in the present and per-
form the duties of the days as they
go by?

in shaping up Eighth street. His sug-
gestion is that the Date canal be
turned into the Dahlia canal along the
west side of the city, again be divert
ed at the northerly boundaries and
carried east to again pour its waters
into the present course north of this
city. He believes that the grades are
such as to allow of this arrangement.
This would leave Eighth street en-
tirely clear, and as it is one of the
most travelled thoroughfares in Ell
Centro it could then be put in fine
condition.
1t is probable that this project will
be submitted to Water Company No.
l, owner of the Date canal. The Dahlia
would have to be enlarged along the
western side of the city to carry this
extra volume of water and two new
canals to connect the present Date
with the Dahlia would have to be con-
structed 1t is possible that the city
could afford to do this work in order
to move the Date canal outside the
CITY limits
Imperial Valley press., 1912-01-13
MAY SHOVE DATE CANAL
OUT OF THE CITY
May Throw Water Course West Of
Municipal Limits and Then Turn
1t Back to Present Course

A peculiar condition has developed
since surveyors lines have been run
for the location of proposed new resi-
dences on the west side of the Date
canal. These surveys show that the
canal occupies a large portion of
Eighth street, and that the block OF
lots laid out by w. T. Bill between
the court house grounds and Eighth
street extend to the eastward so that
the corners of the Eighth street lots
would lie directly in the center of
what is now used as the Date road.
AS result of this discovery the
block OF Bill lots would be showed
westward, cutting down the seventy
foot street on the east side Of the
court house grounds to sixty feet.
John Norton, president of the Ell
Centro board of city trustees, has pro-
posed the elimination of the Date ca
nal entirely from the town site as a
move that would be of great advantage

T ooks IN WRONG DIRECTION

L OONS I'm " f0ONS I'm ~ WV
l. Our friend E. P. Clarke, editor
of the Riverside Press, is hunting for
a candidate for congress for the new
Eleventh district but the fact is that
he is the poorest man in the district
to start out on a quest for the best
candidate. This is due TO the pecu-
liarity of human physiology that
turns a persons view away from him
self. If Mr.. Clarke should chance to
halt before a mirror he might find the
object of his quest.
There are certain qualifications the
congressional candidate from this dis
trict should have:
He needs familiarity with public is
sues. such as Mr.. Clarke has acquired
in twenty five or thirty years of news
paper work.
He needs a knowledge of the dis
trict he is to represent. and Mr.. Clarke
is one of the few persons who pos
sesses that requisite.
He needs the human, rather than
the commercial or monetary, view of
public issues, and that Mr.. Clarke has
acquired by the long years of self
making.
He needs to stand on the better
side of public issues, and that is dis
tinctly Mr. Clarke's position, as it has
been during his whole career in jour-
nalism.'
He needs a personal reputation for
honor and bravery and force of char
acter, and the life of Mr.. Clarke is so
intimately associated with the uplift-
ing influences of Southern California
for so many years that no word will
be or can be spoken against his per-
sonal standing.
The Valley Press knows no other
person in the Eleventh district it
would so gladly support for congress
as z. P. Clarke.
The Press knows Mr.. Clarke will
not wish 10 reprint this editorial. for
fear it will seem to violate modesty,
but as an outside comment on a resi-
dent of Riverside in whom athe people
OF Riverside are interested, he is un-
der obligations to reprint it, sjust as
he would if it dealt with some other
resident of that city

"The Theft"

Henri Bernstein, the young
Frenchman who wrote 1.-The Theft"
in which Miss Marion Sherwood will
be seen at the Opera House on
November II, 1912, is one of the few
men of the present day who have
ever had a play admitted to the
repertoire of the Coincide Franchise
in Paris. He is also the man who
made the reknown Madame Simone
famous. He wrote the piece
lie Derour" in which she made her
professional debut at the Gymnase
Theatre in Paris and the piece that
made both of them rank high in the
theatrical world.
Bernstein took all his plays from
real life and this combined with his
ability 10 picture all phases of
human nature has made him one of
the greatest dramatists of the
present day. In his play THE
Thief he has taken his characters
from real life and has woven a story
about them that is full of dramatic
incidents and situations. 1t is the
story of woman's love, a love sc
great that she forgets all else anc
becomes obessed with a fear thai
she will lose her husbands love anc
she becomes a criminal so that she
may make herself a picture in hi;
eyes.
THE Thief was a dramatic
sensation when produced in New
York and Chicago and Manage

on being able to obtain it for hi

Opera House News

November 12-"The Thief
| March -" Hamlet"
March 18-Rockwell's Minstrels
April 25-Caledonian Entertainers
The management of the opera
house has been very fortunate in
securing plays that have met with
the heartiest approval of the pat
rons, and The House of a Thous-
and Candles" which showed here
last Friday evening was one of the
best. Nearly every seat in the
house was taken, and the reserve
seats were practically all sold the
day before the play.
The performance held the rapt
attention of the audience from cur
tain to curtain. Every member of
the company deserves great credit
for the excellent way in which they
handled their parts. Mr. Lanham,
who played the part of Bates" the
butler, made, probably, the strong
est impression. His appearance,
voice and manner were cleverly
adapted TO the character he was
interpreting, and his acting was
highly complemented by the
audience.
The next play booked, THE
Theft" November II, is reported as
the best of the season. TIE advance
sale of reserved seats will undoubt-
eddy be the largest yet, and to
secure the best, one will have to get
there early. Seats will be on sale
at Freeman's drug store Monday,
November 4.

Women are Citizens and Wish
to do Their Civic Duty

Working women need the ballot
to regulate conditions under which
they work. Do working men think
they can protect themselves without
the right to vote?
Housekeepers need the ballot to
regulate the sanitary conditions un-
der which they and their families
must live. Do men think they can
get what is needed for their district
unless they can vote for the men
that will get it for them?
Mothers need the ballot to regulate
the moral conditions under which
their children must be brought up.
Do men think they can fight against
vicious conditions that are threaten
ing their children unless they can
vote for the men that run the dis
trict?
Teachers need the ballot to secure
just wages and to influence the
management of the public schools.
Do men think they could secure bet
ter school conditions without vote
TO elect the Mayor who dominates
the Board of Education?
Business women need the ballot
to secure for themselves a fair op-
portunity in their business. Do
business men think they could pro-
tect themselves against adverse
legislation without the right to vote?
Tax paying women need the bal
LOT to protect their property. Do
not men know that Taxation with
out representation" is tyranny?
All women need the BALLOT be-
cause they are concerned equally
with men in good and bad govern
ment; and equally responsible for
civic righteousness.
All men need women's help to
build a better and juster govern
ment, and women need men to help
them secure their right to fulfill their
civic duties.
THE PINK BALLOT
According to decision of the at
torney general, Levi Bancroft, q
separate ballot will be used for the
vote on woman suffrage at the
election in November.
This decision means that the
woman suffrage referendum will not
be placed on the ballot which car
ries the list of state officers.
By direction of the Legislature
some of the referendum measures
will be placed on the state ballot,
but not the woman suffrage mea-
sure.
Voters in Wisconsin will be each
given three ballots to vote at the
November election. The blue one
will carry the names of the national
candidates, the white one will carry
4 the names of state and local candi
dates and such referendum mea
sures as the Legislature directed tc
be placed thereon, and the pink one
will carry other referendum mea
sures, including woman suffrage.
Voters must not forget the pinl
ballot.
The pink ballot can give suffrage
to half a million women.

German Folklore,

One of the delights of travelling In
Germany is the familiarity one soon
acquires, or, more properly speaking,
perhaps, renews, with the familiar
folklore and fairy legend of the coun-
try If, in England, one can scarcely
escape the Charles Dickens charac-
tiers, in Germany one is constantly
noting the types immortalized by the
brothers Grimm Indeed it would be
quite as difficult to imagine Germany
without Mother Hulda, Goldilocks, Red
Riding Hood, the BrementoWn Musi-
clans, Hansel and Gretel and the rest
of the company of dear familiars, as 1t
would be to think of old London with
out the Pickwickians. German paint
ers, sculptors, musicians invariably try
their talents of portraying their ideals
among the children's fairytale folk,
and it must be fine bit of work in
deed that passes the muster of Ger
man criticism. One of the strongest
bonds that holds the German in the
characteristic grip of loyalty to the
fatherland is this very pronounced
love of children and fairy tales.-The
Christian Herald.
