Just about three years ago the great
Southwest was awakened by the pos.
sibility of the relocation of the widely
known Peg-Leg mine. The Southern
Pacific railroad was doing considerable
work through Imperial Valley, a val
ley which five years previously was
one of the hottest and most forsaken
deserts on the American continent
but which through the coming of wa.
ter through the extensive irrigation
system of the government, had
grown to be one ofSthe brightest gar.
den spots of the world.
The only humans beings who ever
ventured into the valley before the
bringing in Of water were the pros.
pectors and then the engineers ana
their crews of hardy linemen, rodmen
and assistants who were surveying
roads, lateral canals for subsequent
irrigation, and similar work. A large
crew was stationed between Oglesby
and Salton, rebuilding much Of the
track.

THE COUNTY JAIL

and will remain over today. Or. Oates
has come for the purpose of inspect
ing the county Jail and almshouse and
other institutions of the county. He will
make an inspection of these institu-
tions today and will be accompanied
by the members of the board of rev.
posed camps for the use of the con-
victs employed on the county roads.
1t will be remembered that DR.. Oates
has condemned both the county jail
and a1mshouse and at one time threat
ened to have some of the prisoners re-
moved TO another county jail. His prin-
cipal objection to the present county
Jail is its crowded condition, and while
there are other objections the jail has
been made as clean and sanitary as is
possible with the present structure
1t is understood DIR. Oates has fire.
quently recommended the building of
a new almshouse. The old board of
revenue asked that the matter of
building be left to the present board
and that they would place the build
ings in the best condition possible.
This was done but it has been re-
ported several times that the present
buildings were inadequate and that a
new almshouse was imperative. DR..
Oates will take up these matters with
the board today.

SMOKE ORDINANCE
IS AGAIN DELAYED
Will Come Up at Meeting
Next Tuesday
PASSAGE rs EXPECTED
Exum Said to Approve the Amended
Ordinance, Which Is Less Drastic
Than Former Measure-Chat-
tanooga Heard of Matter

Further delay for the Weatherly smoke
ordinance was met with yesterday when
at the regular Friday meeting of the city
commissioners the ordinance was passed
over until next Tuesday. All three of
the commissioners agreed that 1t be
passed.
1t is indicated that the leniency of the
present amended ordinance has won the
favor of President c. Exum and the gem
eral opinion is that the ordinance Will
be passed unanimously at the meeting
Tuesday. The amended ordinance now
provides for T. minutes for the first fir
ing, which smoke may be made and four
minutes for each hour thereafter, the
latter probably will be increased to or
G minutes before the ordinance is adopted.
1t is generally understood that the OPP
position which developed few weeks
ago to the original ordinance from many
of the citizens and manufacturers of
Birmingham will not oppose the ordl-
nance as It now stands. 1t was the fact
that they claimed that the original ordi-
nance was too drastic that they raised
their serious objections. Since it has been
mOu1neu tiltN are ktliNA any bNiiNf'A ~
be agreeable to its enforcement.
During the heat of the fight which was
made on the original ordinance before
the present modified amendment was
drafted, strong Indication was evident at
certain times that many of the smaller
industries would be forced to leave the
city. In this connection an interesting
item is clipped from the Chattanooga
News of a recent issued. 1t is headed,
"Birmingham Concerns Look This Direc-
ton" and is as follows:
"A smoke ordinance has recently been
passed by the city of Birmingham which
bids fair to drive several of the smoke
producers from that city to other fields.
Several firms, 1t is reported, have al
ready sent out representatives to secure
new and favorable locations for the re-
moval of their respective plants.
"Chattanooga, with the excellent pros
pective power plant which Is soon to be
completed, 1t is reported. looks tempting
to several of the home-seeking concerns.
The great benefit to be locally derived by
this movement is that the factories may
be had in this territory without the
necessity OF Objectionable smoke and dirt.
Electric power will replace the coal and
boiler system and the great plants may
grind on without the offensive feature
which has 50 materially affected their
welcome in Birmingham.
lone steel company in particular, has
CHATTANOOGA under serious consideration.
However, due to the delicate nature of
the undertaking, their agents so far have
made public none OF their plans"

that the company reserved the right to

among the members of the board as
to the meaning of the ''over lap prop

might mean 5 cents to the city limits
and an additional cents to the end
of the line.
The board took the matter under ad-

ney, w. X. Terry, to request the COM
pany TO submit profile of the proposed
