OIL COMPANY EXPECTS
TO DRILL SOON

With more than fortry tons of ma
chinery and the necessary lumber and
bricks on the ground, the Imperial
Valley Oil Development Company ex-
poets to begin drilling within the near
future in the recently discovered oil
filings east of Holtville.
The recent rains, which have rem
dered many roads impossible to heavy
loads, have greatly impeded progress,
but with the arrival of more than thir-
ty tons of additional equipment the
development company will begin drill
ing at once.
The roads in the vicinity of High
line, east of Holtvile, are report
ed to be in bad condition and accord
ing to the report up to the present
time have prevented activity in trans
porting the necessary machinery.

Washington, Feb. 13.-The United
States has not asked and will not
ask the support of other neutral ma
tions in the position which it took
in the notes sent yesterday to Great
Rritain and Germany.
The misuse Of the American flag
by Great Britain and the threat by
Germany against neutral shipping en-
tering the North Sea war zone after
February Is are questions upon which
the United States prefers to make its
own representations and deal with in
every phase as the judgment of its
own state department may dictate.
These statements are made with Of
fetal authority.

Washington, Feb. l3.-Representa-
tive Kettner has introduced bill for
the disposal of Imperial county lands,
providing:
"That the public lands not other
wise appropriated and not withdrawn
IN aid of the Colorado River and Yu-
MA irrigation projects, in Imperial
county, California, lying north and
east of the East Side High line canal
IN Imperial valley, are to be segre-
gated and set aside for a period of
seven years, and not longer, to the
end that title thereto may be ac-
quired in the manner following, to
wit:
"On the application of a citizen of
the United States, or one who has
declared his intention to become such,
filed with the district land office, to
enter not to exceed 800 acres of said
land, accompanied with such evidence
as the secretary of the interior may
require for the ownership of stock in
mutual water company or contract
with such company to furnish water
sufficient to reclaim and permanent
ly irrigate the land applied for, then,
and upon the payment of S5 per acre,
entry therefor shall be allowed, but
the money so paid shall be deposited
il the United States treasury as a
trust fund, subject to the order of the
Secretary of the Interior, until such
time within two years from the pas
sage of this act as when $4,000 acres
shall have been duly entered as herein
provided, whereupon the trust shall
terminate and the proceeds of such
entries shall be covered into the Unit
ed States treasury and patents issued
for the lands so entered, provided that
if within said period of two years the
lands so entered do not aggregate
$4,000 acres, then, and in that event,
the entries heretofore allowed shall
be cancelled"

Shipping Bill Fight.

Washington, Feb. 13.-In new
trenches in the House and reorgan-
lied, and following the routine of the
Senate, the administration forces are
putting the final work on their de-
fenses for the ship purchase battle
in the lower house next week. Lead
ers, however, are far from hopeful
of success. They are assured of their
ability to put through the compromise
measure under gag rule in the
House, but are convinced the solid
front of the allies in the Sentae cam
not be battered down by March A.
The plan finally agreed to and ap-
proved by the president is to tack
Cores bill onto the enacting clause
of the weeks naval mail line meas
ure.
In the Senate Republicans are smil-
ing at the suggestion that their fill
buster is nearing an end. They say
no shipping bill will pass them at this
session.

years from the date hereof, if $4,000
acres shall have been entered within
the specified period as aforesaid, the
remainder of said lands shall be open
to application and entry on due pay
ments of So per acre for each acre
thus applied for"
If within the two years specified
patent shall have issued to the cv-
tent of 10000 acres, the secretary Of
the interior shall be authorized to
permit a connection to be established
with the irrigation system of the rec
lamaton service at the Laguna dam
on the Colorado river for irrigation,
domestic use and power purposes, and
the right to enlarge and use for car
rying such water, the main canal of
the Yuma project, and a right of way
across the Yuma Indian reservation.
Objection Develops.
There have been rumors of oppo-
sition to the project as outlined,
among the chief opponents being Phil
W. Brooks of Holtville, and it is un-
derstood that Mr. Brooks is the au-
thor of the letter referred to in the
following dispatch in the Los Angeles
Times:
Washington, Feb. 10.-Mark Rose
and NJ. W. Conkling, who are here
in an endeavor to have certain desert
lands in the Imperial Valley restored
to entry, are charged by a resident
of Ell Centre with manipulating the
affairs of the Imperial Laguna Water
Company for their own personal ad-
vantage.
"'We want water to come from the
Imperial Irrigation District writes
this man to a member of Congress,
and we do not want to have this mat
ter of the restoration of the land
mixed up with the Imperial Laguna
Water Company. The directors of
that company started out by appro-
priating 10000 shares of water stock
to themselves, Mark Rose, president,
taking 1000 shares for himself and
his family, and NJ. w. Conkling, at

First Game of Tournament
At Country Club Yesterday

The tournament was held at Ca
lexico last year, and players from that
town carried off most of the victories.
Since that time the asphalt courts of
the Country Club have been completed
and are said to be superior to any
tennis grounds in the county, which
resulted in the decision of the partic-
pants to select Ell Centre as the scene
of the second annual tournament.
A lively interest is being manifest
ed in the present contest and it is eX-
pected more ability will be displayed
among players this year than ever
before.
The first match this morning result
ed in victory for Loud of Ell Cen
tro over Garrett of the Holtville High
School, with score of 6-2 and 6-3.

The steel cages, ordered some time
ago he said, had not arrived, but it was
the intention of the board to complete
the temporary outside structure in
readiness for the steel work interior,
which is expected to arrive March l.
The work of installing the steel cells
would require only a short time, he
said.
The site for the structure has been
definitely decided upon, according to
an announcement made this morning
ty member of the board of trustees,
who stated that the Jail would be
erected on the city lot in the rear of

somewhat sensational but what eff
feet it will have on the negotiations
pending before the general land of
flee remains to be SEEN"
MIR. Conkling's Statement
Attorney NJ. w. Conkling was shown
the Times articles and asked regard
ing the facts in the case. He said
that he was not attorney for the COM
pany and was not a stakeholder in it;
that when the company was formed he
was rendered the position of attorney
and thousand shares of stock, but
he had not been free to act as attor-
ney and had not accepted the stock
set aside for him
He stated that Congressman Kett-
ner's bill provides for the mutual COM
pany to be approved by the interior
department, and it would depend Who'll
ly on the opinion Of Secretary Lane
what would be construed as fair COM
pensation of the promoters of the wa
tire company, and that if it was found
they had taken more stock than was
considered fair, the remainder would
undoubtedly be restored to the treas
ury of the company.
Mr.. Conkling said he had talked this
matter over with Mark Rose, the pro-
moter of the company, who has been
in Washington for several months.
and Rose recognizes that such a re-
quirement may be made.

MONIES AND CREDITS
ON ASSESSMENT LIST

When you fill out your assessment
sheet next month it will be easy and
very tempting to pass over the line
marked "Monies and Cerdits" and
make no mention whatever. In fact,
the history of the Imperial Valley
seems to show that but TWO MEN
TWO MEN ONLY-have ever filled
out the line. And yet you will be asked
to make oath that your statement is
TRUE, COMPLETE and CORRECT;
and should it not be true, COMPLETE
and correct, then you are subjecting
yourself to prosecution for perjury.
Can you afford that?
Should you have money in your
pocket or any evidence of funds or
cl edit, except one form, you must
either list or dodge"
The feature upon which the average
business man or concern excuses him
self for the omission of monies and
credits is that he usually has debts
to "offset" his ready cash, but the
"offset" is not legal nor in his power
to control. The arbitrary "offset'
which he makes does not relieve the
element of perjury in the least, for if
he has any money or any credits in
lis favor he must list them, with one
exception.
The exception to the rule is made
in Savings Deposits. All funds de-
posted in the Savings Departments
of the Banks of California are entirely
EXEMPT from TAXATION.
So why dodge" or subject your.
self to embarrassment when it is sc
easy and convenient to place youl
funds in the Savings Department OF
this bank. Then list all your monies
and they will BE EXEMPT.
Come in and ask us about it.
Remember March First is ASSESS
MENT DAY.
