Form New Firm

W. J. Purcell and L. P. Sargent have
announced the birth of the Purcell.
Sargent Land Company, with offices in
the Oregon Hotel building.
Mr.. Purcell has been in the real
estate business in Ell Centre for the
past two years, and during that time
has turned some of the largest deals
ever made in the valley. He is the
one who made the sales of 1900 acres
q highly improved alfalfa lands to the
c. H. o. B. Fuller Company and Of
the 3. E. Parks ranch, and has been
reporting the sales of quarter sections
every few days.
Mr.. Sargent is new man in Ell
Centro, but is well known throughout
the valley, having been president Of
the Sargent-S Seat Land Company of
Holtville until the past year, which
frm during, its existence of five years
IN the valley was one of the most
active in the business.
Both men are widely known through
cut the valley, are thoroughly posted
on valley conditions, and friends of
both men predict startling results. For
the first week of the existence of the
new firm they report sales of ranch
property in all parts of the valley ag-
gregating S4e,500, which it would seem
would fully. justify the expectations of
their friends

TO DIScREDIT Mr.. FERGUSON

Unless the Press il very much ms
lakru the sentiment Of the county Is
pronounced against the effort to use the
1triyannn district tu discredit Porter n.
Ferguson Of Ioltville, as punishment
by those who do not like his anti-saloon
attitude.
II is unfortunate that the factional
ight on the east side has become SO
great thai ii seems necessary to oppose
any individual who comes up before
public view, but the Press does not
believe the entire valley wishes to be
drawn into the controversy.
Mr.. Ferguson, at the late conference
n This city, stated his position regard
ing the proper procedure of the irriga
uon district, and in the opinion of the
Press it was based on sound judgment.
II was to the effect that the district
should first Of all find out il it is pos
sible to secure the irrigation supply ca
mails without litigation, through friendly
negotiation, and when that has been
done. if the effort fails, then to go to
the courts with condemnation proceed
ngS.
In other words, he would apply to
the case the same principle man
would adopt as an individual. IN only
fesortlng 10 the courts as last ne
ceSSlty
The lawyers seem to be pretty we'll
the American side of the line could be
acquired in short time by cOndemna-
tion. but that after it was acquired
there would be a chance for long liti-
CATION before the questions behind pos
session We're settled. The Press agrees
with Mr.. Ferguson in believing that
litigation should be avoided if it is
possible.
The claim that this is in behalf of
HE interests" is nonsense. There is
40 doubt that Mr.. Hamilton and Mr.
Brockman. who are spoken of as prog
reSSlveS. are deserving Of the appella-
non. The same is true of Messrs
Ferguson, Pound and Peck. There is
not one of the board Of directors but
has shown his worthiness Of the conf
dence of the public, and to the degree
that they disagree they are entitled to
treatment with respect for their opin-
ions.
But the point, Of disagreement are
not radical. The ultimate end of all
opinions runs to the same result-the
acquisition of the canal system so soon
as 1t can be acquired properly ana
without the menace Of litigation to
follow.
Lambasting individual members of
ne board and efforts 70 bulldoze them
or punish them because of personal
tlsasreements will lead nowhere.
As the Press has pointed out. Just
now the one great desideratum is to
get the national administration to ap-
preclate the Importance of bringing the
canal into the United States or under
NE absolute control of the United
states. that tie way may be opened
Tor the people to acquire the whole
system. meanwhile taking steps to close

 Memphis.-As was the case last year, the lower Mississippi valley will again bear the brunt of the flood wa ters of Eastern and Central Western states.
 The United States Government Weather Bureau has issued flood warn ing to the people in the lowlands and many are fleeing to safety on higher ground.
 Gangs of men were rushed to levees known to contain weak spots and the work of fighting the water began.
 Quarterpoars were lashed in readi. ness, supplies stored in convenient buildings and everything prepared to be moved on an emergency call. Gov ernment steamboats were assembled for immediate use. Engineers are bending every energy to raise parts of levees where danger threatened in the rise of last month. The Wilson levee is weak, as result of the break of last year. Although the gap has been filled, it is not as strong as the rest of the levee. A crevasse occurred there in April, 1912, flooding the great CT portion of the St, Francis basin. Mound City, Ark, had a bad break in 1912 and was threatened with an other early in 1913. That part of the levee will be raised.
 Governor Brewer of Mississippi rushed trainload of convicts to Beu- lah Miss, to try and close the gap ahead of the rise. Reports received by the governor from engineers indi- cate that the high water this year will be greater than in 1912 Observer Eh. cry says the crest of the present flood will reach Memphis In two weeks, and that it will not be checked to any great extent by cold weather.
 Planters in the Memphis district to day began preparing for the coming flood. Telephone messages came to the local United States Weather Bureau from all directions. Many left for their plantations to remove stock and warn help to get away or arrange for probably the most severe Hood that ever came down the Mississippi river
 Local Forecaster Emery admitted that a 45.foot stage is possible, He said, however, conditions are greatly improved.
 Reports from Arkansas show that all rivers are going over their banks Black river at Black Rock began flood. ing lowlands last week, and White and St. Francis rivers are crowc x towns along their banks.
