ANTI-LIQUOR UNION
WILL SWEEP VALLEY

The call for a meeting to be held at
the Christian Church Tuesday even
ing at 7:30 to organize an Anti-LiQuor
Union is meeting with hearty response
on every hand. Reports have also
been received from other towns and
country districts indicating that the
people of every section of the valley
are aroused by the menace of booze
in Imperial and are determined to
resist the invasion by most strenu-
Gus opposition.
People are aroused to the danger TO
public morals as they have never been
before, and the meeting Tuesday even
ing promises to be largely attended
and to set going a movement that will
at once and for all time bar liquor
from Imperial valley.
The line of battle has been drawn
by that majority of the people of I'm.
perial who have voted for licensed sa-
looms. The people who are opposed
to the debauchery this implies have
their choice between two policies:
They can now assume the aggressive
attitude and Danish booze for all time
or they can fight on the defensive a
battle that will last for years.
They have decided on the agrees
i've attitude They propose TO fight
the battle now and have the issue
settled at once and for all time, and
they will present a united front that
will settle the question now

George w. Nichols Named as Post
master for Newest Town on West
Side-Seeking Artesfan Water

The present We'll al DiNieland has
been abandoned on account Of heavy
boulder strata net with. The well
was sunk TO a depth Of $50 feet. Va
ter bearing gravel was struck at sew
eral depths, but the flow indicated but
light sheet water. The first heavy
rock stratum was encountered at a
depth OF about $50 feet. The drill
failed in this case. but the boulders
were finally shifted and new start
was made. Work from this point
progressed slowly and a heavier STRAIT
um was met with 40 feet below the
top ledge On account of the bOuld-
ers in the top stratum not being ef-
fectivelv cased they caved in and
bound the pipe SO tightly that tre-
mendous pressure was necessary in
order TO free it. Two days were con-
sumed in this attempt and when fl
nally loosened Mr.. Hardison found
that three lengths of pipe, together
with his drill, were left in the ground.
Water experts report indications
most favorable for water in DiXieland,
and it is the intention of the West
side Land Company to and it if it is
there.
The postoffice fixtures for the Dixie
land office have arrived and it is eX-
pected that the new Office will be in
operation in short time. Mail for

Fine Vaudeville Program

The vaudeville offering at the Ell
Centre Opera House last night was
one of the best and most thrilling acts
ever seen on the stage in this town.
Mr.. Sawyer was very fortunate in Sc
curing Hall & Hall for two nights
engagement. for it is an act that
would make good on any Of the big
circuits of the country. One Of the
feature tricks is done by the lady
member of this team. who stands at
one end of the stage. shoots across 10
the other side, hits the trigger Of a
stationary rife the bullet from which
knocks a ball from her head. II the
spirit Of William Tell should come
back 10 earth he would certainly mar
vel at this wonderful shot. Tonight
this act will introduce several new
and startling stunts, together with q
new set OF moving pictures. The per
formance is one Of the best popular
priced shows ever given in El Cenr0,
and should be we'll patronized.

Welcome the Arriving Guests

Los Angeles Express: observe once
more the colonist influx into Los AnS-
eles. We say once more, because
the day is rapidly approaching when
the so-called cOlonists will be arriving
here on every train every day in the
year. and that without the special in
ducement Of low rates of transporta-
ton. Moreover. they will not be des-
ignated by the 9ucient and time worn
artifice. "colonists, but will receive
instead the honorable title of 'iarriy-
ing gassengers. 1t is not and never
mas been fair to welcome our new
guests with the term 'cOlonists,' for
since, the early days of Anaheim and
Pasadena no colonists have come to
Los Angeles.
Nevertheless, this citys welcome is
Just as sincere, earnest and ensthusl-
astic as ever it was. Be assured all
of US are Just as delighted to see thou
sands of fresh arrivals, to meet them
at the passenger stations and TO IN
vite them to share with Us the beau
ties and glories of this Southern Cali
fornia climate, as we were 20 years
ago with the first hundred. Time has
not dimmed the pleasure OF greeting
the continuing army of. accreuons
from the East to our enterprising cltl-
zenship. In the midst OF peculiarly
Measurable conditions We are work
ing out destiny here that must in
fuence for good the whole human
race. and in consequence we give ever

Snow and Winter Wheat

The extent to which man is still sub
ject to the influence of the elements is
again illustrated by the statement in
the news columns that the widespread
snowfall over the vast territory be-
tween the Great Salt Lake, in Utah
and the western slope of IL e Allegheny
Mountains and from the Canadian
border to Oklahoma assures the best
crop prospects known in the West for
several years. The farmers through
out all that great region prepared
their fields for winter wheat to such
extent as they considered practical.
When they had done their part, there
was nothing left but to take the chances
of the season. Now has come the
second heavy snowfall of the winter,
and this gives them promise of a good
crop, other things proving to be fav-
orable also. 1t is stated that the
condition of the winter wheat is rem
dered ideal, the wheat being protected
by the snow and all the Western coun-
try being assured of sufficient water
when the snow melts 1t is good news
and yet presumably the average
American housekeepet will know but
little difference next year. The price
of wheat will be determined by the
worlds needs and its ability to pay
and very likely the price of -four will
rsmain at about the usual figure

PROBABLY SCOTT, TOO,
REALIZED SOUTH POLE

London, March 1.-Antartic Ex-
plorer Roald Amurdsen in new state
ments published in the Chronicle has
been unable either to confirm the
British hope that Captain Scott also
reached the South Pole, either before
or after him.
Clrcum stances existed which might
make it altogether reasonable that
Scott got to the pole without ANU d.
sen being aole to know it. If Scott
was first in the march to the pole The
Norwegian explorer readily admitted
that storms might have wiped away
all signs of the Englishman's progress
and presence at the ultimate goal.
Amundsen, however, encountered
serene weather at the pole and thinks
that this favorable condition had en-
dured for some time.
Aside from his own intrepidity OF
leadership, Amundsen's comrades ap-
pear to have borne up with fortitude
equa! to his own, and no little credit
is given to the dogs and their gener-
ally fine condition when the start wa S
made for the march to the pole. Some
of the faithful animals had to serve as
food for the explorers before the
journeys end. And the men found
nothing repellant in eating the flesh
of the dogs save in their sentiment re-
greet that any of the faithful fellows
had to be sacrificed. The dog meat is
described as having been of excellent
flavor.
There was a Christmas dinner cele
brated which was very joyful one
indeed, Amundsen and his party be-
ing sure at this time of their journeys
success. Broken crackers in melted
dog fat formed the piece of resistance
OF the Christmas feast.
Eleven dogs survived the great
journey, returning to the Fran slice K
and so we'll fed that they disdaineG
succuleut chunks OF seal meat tossed
to them.
Two instruments that proved of gres
utility were beard cutting machine
and tooth extractor. Shaving in
that region would constitute cruel
and unusual punishment, but it is
