SOUTHWELL CASE
is CONTINUED

The case against Dan Southwell, city
marshal of Imperial, was today con-
tinued by Judge Cole until the second
week in February, over the protest of
District Attorney Swing.
Attorney B. R. Simons, who is to be
deputy for Galen Nichols as district
attorney, said the continuance would
be satisfactory to the latter, but Mr..
Swing stated that it had come to his
attention that a rumor was being cir
culated that a large sum of money had
keen raised for the defense of South
well and to influence himself, and for
that reason he was anxious to have
the trial proceed while he was still in
office
Judge Cole stated, however, that the
law required him to give the prefer
ence to the trial of men who are con-
fined in jail, and he could not possibly
hear such cases in time for the trial
Of Southwell before the first of the
year, and the continuance was there
fore granted.

High School Notes.
(By Thomas r. Wilson,

Friday evening the faculty was in
vited to the McCabe school to a pro-
gram given by the pupils of that
school, Twelve of the teachers went
in the school truck and all reported
d fine time. The play given was "The
Linen Peddler." 1t was farce and
kept the audience in an uproar all
evening.
Thursday night the Calexico High
School will present the play "My Un-
Gle From India" This is the same
play that was given by the Dramatic
Society of this school few weeks
ago and which was a great success.
II will be given at CaleXico under the
name of "The Private Secretary"
Next week many Of the teachers
are to go to Los Angeles to the teach
ers' institute. This is the reason for
school letting out week early. Nearly
all of the teachers from Ell Centre are
going and will spend their Christmas
there.

Lumber to Be Ordered
For Sand Hills Tomorrow

Colonel Ed Fletcher. who never
tires of good roads work, came over
from San Diego yesterday, accompa-
MED by Lieutenant Governor-elect
John NJ. Eshleman and Mr.. Sanborn,
rate expert of the State Railroad
Commission, of which commission Mr..
Eshleman is still president:
They reached here at and Fletcher
left at after hurried conference
with the sandhills road committee, in
Guiding Frank Reading, Ed E. Boyd
and Adolph Shenk. There was also
present delegation from Yuma, and
all assurance was given Colonel
Fletcher that the freight would be
paid and the lumber laid and when
he left it was with the statement
that the lumber will be ordered Tues
day from Oregon for shipment via San
Pedro to Ogilby.
Colonel Fletcher stated that the Yu-
ma bridge will be finished by March
/, and by that time the planks will
be laid through the sandhills, giving
a passage road for auto tourists.
That the state will make the 5000,
COO appropriation for the highway on
this route as an entrance to the state
is believed to be beyond doubt, and
Chairman Frank Reading said this
morning that an effort would be
made through the war department to
get federal appropriation for the
DAD, as it is highly desirable for mil
itary purposes. He added that the
road would also be of great value to

To secure sixty mares to be used IN
reclamation work on the Yuma reser-
walton. L. l.. Odle, Indian agent for
the Yuma reservation, after several
days search through outlying districts
in the valley, is spending today in FL
Centro. The Yuma Indians have just
completed the reclamation OF 5000
acres in the Bard district and are at
present completing arrangements pre-
paratory to the reclamation OF por
ton of the reservation which, when
completed, will be apportioned in ten
acre lots among the Indians.
Mr.. Odle, accompanied by his wife,
arrived in the north end of the val
ley a few days ago, after an arduous
trip across the desert and through
Mammoth Wash. In speaking of the
rev Holtville and Yuma highway Mr..
Odle was enthusiastic in his praise of
the new route and declared that it's
completion will enable Indians from
the Yuma reservation to work in I'm
rerial Valley during cantaloupe sea
son and under circumstances where
the employment of large number
of men will be necessary.
"The Yuma Indian is the hardest
working Indian in the United States" "
said Odle. "Show him the manner in
which the work is to be performed
and he will do it without any varia
tons"
At present there are about 600 Yu-
ma Indians employed by ranchers in
the Yuma valley and according to the
Indian agent the attribute of perform
ing the work as they are told is re-
sponsible for this preference among
the ranchers.
That the Yuma Indian will receive
the standard wage and that he will
excel any other class of labor in the
cantaloupe fields is the opinion of
Odle, who further stated that the COM
pletion of the new highway will prob
ably see the influx of number OF

We have now in stock fifteen diff

Indians who are at present employed
on the reservation. Their familiarity
with agricultural conditions in the

many respects to the conditions eX-
