Sheriff Meadows Wants To

an obstacle and more of a nuisance.
With it transformed into a blind
ditch there would be nothing to mark
distinct boundary between the city
proper and the west side of town.
While this matter is being consid-
cred, the Press wishes to submit
proposal that will make this inn
provement more than pay for itself
This is that a cement-lined blind
ditch be constructed and that Water
Company No. sell the land along the
ditch as lots facing Eighth street, or
that the water company cede the lots
to the city in return for the construc-
tion of the ditch and let the city sell
the lots.
That long stretch of land occupied
by the ditch and its unsightly banks
has become too valuable to longer be
held as waste, and the land, if sold
with reservation of right of way,
would pay for fine improvements.
Imperial Valley press., 1914-12-28

The city trustees are working on
the problem of hiding the Date canal,
which flows through the city along
side Eighth street, and have taken up
with Superintendent Carberry the
question of the proper means for re-
moving this unsightly object. Trus-
tees Perry and Moore were some time
since appointed a committee to solve
the problem, and the feasibility Of
cementing the ditch through town
and giving it such grade as will
keep the ditch free of silt deposit is
being considered, as is also the ques-
tion of siphon under each Of the
streets.
In case it is decided to cement the
ditch, it will be lowered sufficiently
to do away with the banks and with
a view to the ditch finally being COW
cred throughout its length through
town.
AS it is now, the occasional clean
ing of the ditch is building up its

according to A. w. Swanson, secre-
tary of the Ell Centre Chamber Of
Commerce, who declared this morning
that the action was taken because it
was the belief of the directors of the
local organization that the mainte-
nance of both county and city

the merchants and business men.
According to Secretary Swanson,
the arrangement was satisfactory to
all concerned and, it is believed, will
greatly aid the county chamber OF

over $500 for home.
Then, of course, he would need fur
niture for the house, and he began
negotiations with the Wolflin- Hamil-
ton Company for $1,000 worth of fur
niture.
Along with this, he needed an au-
tomobile, and he bought one of Bliss
Brothers, and shed a check in pay
ment.
Of course he did not get away with
the house or the furniture or the au-
tomobile, but these transactions gave
him standing with those he came in
contact with, and he wrote out nu-
merous kilograms to prominent east
ern politicians asking them to vouch
by wire for him.
On the strength of these dispatches
and his easy and pleasing manner, he
began his real labor of shedding
checks for $40 to $25, and when these
were fluttering about in the air like
snowdrops the earth opened of a dark
night and Ell Centro knew him no

Big Flood Rushing Past
But Doing No Damage
1000 Miles in Ford Car for Sixty Cents.

A great sudden flood is rushing
down the Colorado, but it is doing no
damage. 1t is due to the great storm

the heaviest rain in that state for
many years.
So great was the flood that came
down the Gila that the Colorado at

this morning it was still up to 22.3.
1t is expected that the flood will

FUND DRAWN To
PAY UP TEACHERS
Governor Will Order That Salary
Warrants for Last Year Be
Met at Once.

Following a precedent set by For
mer Governor Joseph NJ. Brown, and
in line with an Interpretation of the
law set by himself while Acting Gov
ernor in 1911, Governor Slaton has
drawn his warrant for 100000, and
will order the common school teach
ers paid Immediately the balance due
them on salaries for 1913.
The law makes it mandatory upon
the Governor to pay up last years
balance before this years appropria-
tons are touched. Some pressure
was brought to bear upon the Execu-
tive to make him pay the Confeder-
ate pensions for this year before
squaring accounts with the teachers
for last. but under the law the Gov
ernor could not do that, even had he
wished to. The pensions for 1918 all
have been paid, and those for 1914
will be paid before May /. The Gov
ernor hopes TO be able to pay the
veterans well in advance Of the final
date of payment permitted.
Superintendent of Schools Britain
made requisition for 100000 upon
the Governor late Thursday after
noon, and the Governor Immediately
notified him that the requisition
would be honored Friday.
