"Superintendents tell me that the girls

other the long hours OF arduous service
in the wards.
THAT is what is breaking the nurse
In training. Not that these people would
reduce this minimum requirement, not
that they believe that the nurse with the
educational handicap Is a desirable nurse
or that the pupil in training with this
meagre educational equipment is capable
OF being trained to highest efficiency
they never argue that. They say:

As a tentative proposition he divided
the students into three classes, included
in Grades l, III and III.

Although believing practical training

lVJITHOUT 4 PRECEDENT

w The publishers of the Press
look back over ten years of newspaper
work in Imperial valley with the belier
that, while there have naturally been
some points of criticism during that
time, no person ever yet has said that
khe publishers of the Press have in
any respect failed to keep any pledge
they made 10 the people. For those
ten years the relationship of the pub
fishers to the people of the valley have
been complex and intimate, and yet in
every instance the business obligations
have been kept in all details, and this
statement has never vet been contra
dicted.
This statement is made because the
publishers have undertaken a venture
thoroughly understood that their ten
years of work in the valley is be-
hind the venture as a guarantee Of
absolute fair dealing.
There have been subscription con-
tests by other papers heretofore. Some
of them have been worthy and some
otherwise. The contest which the Press
Is opening, however, will be the big
gest affair of its kind ever known in
this part of the country.
The first prize in this amazing con
sest is to be a Studebaker 35-horse-
from the factory that cannot be
bought anywhere for less than S1400.
The second prize will be a s400 lot
in SeeIey.
The third will be a s4OO lot IN
Dtxieland.
Each of these lots is actually worth
che money named, if not more than
that, for the winner gets the benefit
of increase in value.
In addition to this there will be
Eve 500 furniture prizes and five $50
furniture prizes, the winners of these
lCl pLlLcS having tHt privilege OIL Sc
Iecting any goods from the stock of
the Delozier Furniture Company to the

on the basis of success in securing

A NOTABLE ORGANIZATION

n In another column of the Press
this evening is given an account OF the
organization of movement in Los
Angeles seeking to secure an appro
nriation from congress of five million
dollars annually for ten years for
building a series of impounding reser-
voirs to retain the water of the Colo
rado at flood time.
Study of the names of the men con-
nected with the organization shows
that w. F. Holt and w. H. Holabird
represent this valley as members of
the advisory board. while there is one
man from Yuma. Aside from these
with one exception, the numerous Of
ficers and members of the committee
are men who have long been identified
merce, but have not been conspicu-
ously identified with developing the
resources of the Southwest outside of
that city. The one exception is George
H. Maxwell, who for many years has
been identified with agitation for the
reclamation service, and who is nov
made the executive officer of the or
ganization. 2
There can be no question that lbs
Angeles would be immense gamer by
the consummation of the great prof.
ect outlined, as would all parts of the
sections, and it will be an object Of
deep interest to ascertain how seri-
enter into this work.
According to the plans of the Impe-
rial irrigation district, the reclamation
of a grand total of 365,000 acres in
this valley is set as the limit. not be-
cause there is no more land, but be-
cause that is looked upon as the limit
of safety in the distribution of the
Colorado river water at the low stage
of the stream.
But with storage waters 10 nolu Dack
the flood water, there is the possibility
of developing water for all the land
available for irrigation in this valley
and elsewhere.
With the consummation of this prof.
ect this valley and Coachella valley
up to sea level, and possibly a little
higher can be brought under intense
cultivation, and probably the compact
irrigated area in these two connected
valleys would amount to a million
acres or more.
The conception Of the possibilities Of
development in this line is now but
beginning to come on the people Of
Southern California, and it is to be
hoped the prominent citizens who have
loaned their names to the organization
that has been perfected will realize
that such use of their names calls fer
serious effort on their behalf.
