To ask that nothing be done until the irrigation dis
to ask that nothing be done this year, and that is fatal
the whole proposal of preventing the river entering
the valley
In trying to prevent anything being done, the Pro-
gress says
"There will be an attempt made, without doubt, to
rush this valley into effort to force congress to ap-
propate millions during the last days of the session for
levee work"
There certainly will be such effort made, and as
the only person trying to prevent it. the writer of that
sentence is traitor to the community that supports him.
There is one alternative to getting an appropriation
from congress- and that is the building of temporary
evee at Volcano lake. The cost of that evee is not es
mated but c. N Perry is authority for the statement
that quarter of million dollars is not wild stagger at
a guess
There is the possibility of waiting for the completion
of the irrigation districts purchase of the irrigation sys
TEN, then selling quarter of million dollars worth of
bonds and building temporary levee, which in a year
two will go the way Of the present Volcano Lake evee
which is than worthless because the ground
under it will all be cracked by the water which seeped
through this year.
Its not certain that appropriation can be obtained
from congress- but there is the possibility of it, and that
possibility is worth fighting for
And when the people of this valley fighting for
this appropriation the most hopeful solution of
the problem, they going to permit newspaper that
pports to represent them destroy their chances of sue

EOR YOU TO DECIDE.

At the mass meeting to be held in Ell Centre Sat
uday morning there will be presented to the people the
most important question they have yet had before them
The question in its final analysis is Will the people Of
this valley take steps to protection from the Colorado
in time to prevent the river entering the valley, OF will
they continue to procrastinate until it is practically i'm
possible to do anything?
That question must be faced and must be answered.
and the people will answer it.
So far as the Press ascertain there is only one
person in all Imperial Valley who is opposed to the peo
pie of the valley taking action and that is the editor of
the Progress.
Everybody knows that unless protective works are
secured by the time of the next flood the river will en-
ter the valley. How will they be secured? There is
fighting chance get this needed money from Congress-
unless the Progress by falsely insisting that the railroad
and the Mexican lands will be the chief beneicaries
raises doubts in the minds of congress that will prevent
the valley doing anything.

HAVE DECIDED
TO ACT PROMPTLY

Imperial Enterprise: The called
mass meeting to be held next Sat
urday at Ell Centre for the purpose
of inaugurating vigorous campaign
for securing an emergency appropri-
alton meets the approval of every
interest in Imperial Valley.
That the necessity for immediate
action is apparent to every serious
minded citizen needs no comment.
The physical conditions confronting
Imperial Valley is a pronounced men
ace, oaily growing in magnitude, and
unless heroic efforts are put forth
during the next twelve months seri
Gus results are in store for us. This
situation is realized by the vast ma
iority of our citizens.
Next Saturdays mass meeting at
Ell Centro will require the best intel
ligence, the calm and dispassionate
Judgment of our best citizenship.
Let every farmer come to the meet
ing. Moreover, let him come armed
with the dove of peace and liberal
supply of grape juice to quench his
thirst, with the determination that
obstructionists toward progress, if
any be present, be given scant con-
-.

by falsely representing that the people of the valley
would not be the chief benecares of the appropriation
The Press did believe that here question onI
which all interests and all people in the valley could unite
and they have all united-mutua water companies water
users association irrigation district and commercial bod
ies-al except newspaper which is determined toI
destroy the prospect of appropriation for fear the
Press may get the credit of doing piece of work that
beneficial to the community.
Will the people of the valley stand for this?
Imperial Valley press., 1914-06-25
The people have decided to act an,

The people have decided to act and
act promptly.
1t is the duty of every citizen to
keep before him the real issue at
stake. Let no sophistry obscure o.
befog the facts. The Colorado river
has torrential floods. These floods
carry immense quantities of debris
and silt. Volcano Lake basin has
silted up and the present line of de-
tense has served it's temporary use
fuIness.
Engineers are of one opinion. The
river must be closed and the old chan
mel of the Colorado must be opened
to the Gulf. What if our efforts for
an emergency appropriation should
fail? How is Imperial Valley going
to finance the work? What securities
has the valley to offer that are ac-
ceptatle outside of bonds covering the
whole valley? Why sit idly by and
talk? Talk is far too cheap at this
time.
The Imperial Irrigation District fur
nishes q definite plan whereby the
people may save themselves. 1t is
the only feasible plan offered. Why
not accept the inevitable and sign the
petition?
Why not help yourself?

WHAT THEY ARE DOING IN SOCIETY


When Father Carves the Duck.
We all look on with anxious eyes
When father carves the duck.
And mother almost always sighs,
When father carves the duck.
Then all of us prepare to rise
And hold our bibs before our eyes
And be prepared for some surprise,
When father carves the duck.
He braces up and grabs Il fork,
Whcne'er he cslrves a duck.
And won't allow n soul to talk
Until he carves the duck.
The fork is jabbed into the sides.
Across the breast the knife nc
slides.
While every careful person hides
From flying chips of duck.
The platter's always sure to slip,
When father carves the duck.
And how it makes the dishes skip!
Potatoes fly amuck
The squash and cabbage leap in space,
And father mutters Hindoo grace,
Whene'er he carvcs the duck.
We all have learned to walk around
The dining room and pluck
From off the window sills and walls
Our share Of fathers duck.
while father growls and bows and
jaws,
And swears the knife is full of flaws,
And mother jeers at him. because
He cannot carve a duck.
