Public Is Discussing
Plan for Getting Levee

Imperial Valley never before united IN the
desire for prompt action to control the river as now The
TACT is appreciated in every quarter that ii the valley
to have protection from the river there must right be
taken steps looking to the financing of the great work to
be done, and the discussion in these columns is drawing
Forth comment and commentator from all sections.
Naturally the public is considering what steps shall
be taken to organize for the work. for it is absolute
necessity that there be perfected machinery for carrying
the vigorous campaign that is required to get ap
preparation from congress emergency measure that
this work be started in September when it should
be begun.
The tendency is to fix thought the immediate con-
on of the water but that also calls for consideration
Of this related subject Of the control of the per-
manenty and the public will naturally look to the irrga-
ton district directors to take the initiative in the matter
though has been suggested that they call conference
to be attended by the advisory board of the mutual
panes and representatives of other valley interests that
every person may feel that he has part in the working
out of the solution Of the problem these several interests
to combine in naming committee to have charge of the
campaign which it is necessary to wage to the ap
preparation.
This campaign is to be in entire harmony with the
plan for issuing bonds for the irrigation SYSTEM for it is
essential that the district acquire the SYSTEM to have
head for the management Of the irrigation SYSTEM
1t is that the appropriation be secured to build the evee
Bt there two separate lines of work required and the
appropriation best be secured by having oganiza-
ton to bend every energy to that end
This is matter in which every citizen must have an
interest for the whole future of the valley rests on this
work being done and it must be done before another
flood season.
1t is question in which you have vital interest.
The Press urging united and quick action in this mat
ter is working out your problem This paper not seek
ing any arbitrary method It simply urging that
ton be taken such plan as shall be found best
is your problem Will you help the enthusiasm
and determination that is necessary to win it. and let the

-. IMPERIAL VALLEY

Los Angeles EXammef: It was Il
revelation to me-"
That is the way that C. J. Jones,
general freight agent of the South
ern Pacific, with headquarters in San
Francisco, yesterday explained his i'm
pressions of the Imperial Valley.
Some years ago, before the work of
wonderful development began, Mr..
Jones took trip through the districr,
which then was a dry, barren waste.
Since that time he has directed the
transportation of thousands of Years
of produce from the Imperial Valley.
A few days ago he accepted an in
vitation of Superintendent Whalen to
journey through the valley with the
superintendent supply train. Yes
terday he returned to Los Angeles full
Of enthusiasm, declaring that he could
scarcely believe the wonders that have
been wrought within few short years.
81 was indeed amazed to ride
through miles and miles of cantaloupes
and watermelons, to see the acres and
acres of green alfalfa and the thou
sands of head of stock" said he be-
fore leaving for San Francisco last
night. "The activity of the place was
even more amazing. Freight cars
were moving everywhere. Sunday they
shipped LAT cars of cantaloupes out
of the valley.
"The alfalfa / saw was better and
thicker than l had ever seen before
Everything seemingly can be raised.
81 have not human language at my
command to adequately describe the
picture that | saw, or to draw the COM
parison of the scene of a few short
years ago"

Ended Her Life.
Omitted Press Day service)

Oakland, June 17.-Miss Helen
Mesow, the "blind chorus girl" of the
Orpheum circuit, until recently, and
called the ''Helen Keller of the West"
who was found dead in her apartments
last night, committed suicide by poi
son, according to physicians today.
The stomach contents are being AHA :
lyzed. Her infirmity and finances are
believed to have been the cause.
Miss Mesow was noted throughout
the San Francisco Bay region for
musical talent and unusual beauty.
The doctors performed an autopsy, es-
tablishing that poison caused her
death, but were unable to state its
nature. She was found sitting dead
in chair in her apartments.

Pm telling the story of the Reyes
family now because it is the first
chance / have had to tell it, without
endangering the lives or at least the
liberty of that brave woman and her
daughters.
After the incident, secret service
men haunted them and their home;
even their servants, they discovered,
were Huerta spies. And the other
day they had to flee. There was one
"white man" in the Huerta govern
ment, who called one of the girls to
his office and said:
"Your mother and you girls had
better get out of the capital as soon
as you can. Huerta is planning to
arrest her."
And so the plucky little American
woman, with her -four daughters, left
their home one evening, got to the rail-
road station without being observed
and, twenty-four hours later, were
under the American flag in Vera
Cruz.

Ell Paso, June 17.-rLittle OF certain
veracity is available here or at Juarez
regarding Villas reported coup in re-
moving Carranza officials ahd, sup
planting them with his own adher-
ents. The general plan is not thor
oughly understood here, but it is be-
lieved Villas statement, which it is
reported he prepared yesterday, is
coming from Torreon. This is ex-
pecteG to explain his attitude and
plans. The statement from Saltillo
that Villa has resigned his army po-
sition to become governor of Chihua-
hua is generally discredited here.
Varying reports from Torreon, Ciudad,
Chihuahua and Jiminez indicate that
Villa has pursued similar tactics there
regarding officials. 1t is pointed out
that Ornelas hardly misunderstood the
order if other commanders acted along
lines Identical with his procedure,
which reports indicate to be true.
All telegraph wires south of here
are manned today by Villas opera
tors No word has come regarding the
situation in the interior. Other opera
tors whom Villa removed are being
taken southwark. 1t is rumored Villa
acted on these lines because he was
incensed tha. Carranza had censored
his personal kilograms. Many here
believe when the situation clears il
la will be found in complete control
of northern Mexico.

CALIPATRIA'S GROWTH
is STILL UNABATED

A new depot is being planned for
Calipatria which will cost approx
mately $4,000 and it is expected that
work will be started on it very short
ly. Mr.. Schader, the man who is put
ting Calipatria on the map, is deter
mined to add the beautiful to the
practical.
He feels that the first impression
cne gets of a town is generally a
lasting one and it is his idea to have
beautiful station and also to have
the grounds Immediately around it
kept up and planted to shrubs and
flowers.
Mr.. Schader says that everyone
ought to keep their front yards in
fine condition and railroad station
is the front yard of town. Nearly
every visitor passes through it and
it should be beautiful place to give
the visitor a good impression.
The entire length of Railroad ave-
nue. will be lined with cottonwoods
interspersed with palms and other
trees. There are several nurseries
now figuring on this work.
In addition to this, there will be
lath trellises about every 20 or q
feet, which will be covered with roses
etc. When this idea is carried out
it will make Calipatria's station one
of the finest anywhere. Schader sure
knows how to start town right.

former reports had indicated another
crest of the flood was approaching,

First Water Enters
New River from Levee

The first water from the break in
the Volcano Lake levee is flowing
down New river and soon will be ap-
parent all along the line of that
stream. A small flow was turned into
the river to relieve the overflow in
the cotton fields in Mexico which are
menaced by the overpour.
Plans have been perfected for TAX
ing care of any driftwood that may
come down as we'll as possible, for
the protection of the flume and the
county bridges, and it is believed the
flume will not be injured, but the same
confidence is not manifest regarding
the bridges, which may be consider
ably damaged by the flood.
Engineer Perry has force of $50
men busy Strengthening the remaining
portion of Volvano levee, and so soon
as he considers it advisable will begin
the actual work of closing the break,
but before this is done the levee must
be raised and strengthened or the
flood must recede considerably, as at
the present height of the levee and
the present condition of the flood, the
water would overtop the levee and
destroy it entirely. From the break
eastward the condition of the levee is
not good, and considerable work is
being done on that portion to strength
en- it.
Engineer Anderson and the direc-
tors Of the irrigation district left this
morning in two automobiles for the
break in the levee, after being i'm ses-
sion most Of the day yesterday, during
which time there was general discus
sion of the situation.
Reports from Needles today are of
further subsistence of the flood, while
/. the river is also dropping slowly at
Yuma There seems to be assurance,
therefore, that the heaviest crest Of
the present flood has gone by. AS

Washington, June 17.-Admiral
Howard has reported to the navy de-

eral gunboat Guerrero and the rebel
gunboat Tampico engaged in bat
tie near Topolobampo Tuesday. He
added his belief that the rebel boat
was sunk.
1t is believed the casualties were

neer of the Tampico committed sui
eide when they saw the battle turn

ed the engagement was watched from
the decks of the American ships New
Orleans, Perry and Preble, the New
Orleans standing by to rescue the
crew of the Tampico and offer sur
gical aid to those aboard the Guer-
rero. The Tampico originally was a
federal gunboat, but the crew mutinied
several months ago, turning the ship
over to the rebels. The loss leaves
the rebels without a ship on the west
coast.
The gunboats carried from 80 to 100
men each, according to latest avail

both sides was poor, the wild shots
