Redwood, of the Imperial irrigation district, in trying to bolster up his administra- tion, has made the astound- ing statement over his own signature that it was always his intention to construct a rock and pile dam at Hanlon h e din g, notwithstanding the fact that the Government had originally forbidden any thing other than a dam of sand and brush, and he open ly accuses Editor Howe, of the Imperial Press, of "giv- ing, the snap away"
 In fact, he brazehly asserts that Editor Howe was the first to appriSe Yuma valley farmers of his intention to break the law in defiance of the War Department permit.

Cotton Growers Favored By Lawson

Project Manager Lawson, always on the job in the interest of Yuma valley farmers, has today, as direct result of his efforts, received instruc- tions from the Interior Department to put into effect the following rates on cotton, in car lots, over the Gov ernment line (3,000 pounds to the car:
 Boundary line to Yuma, SC cwt.
 Gadsden to Yuma ....7c cwt.
 Somerton Sd'g to Yuma, 5c cwt
 Willets to Yuma 4c cwt.

in the Eastern fields. It came on Fri.
day morning when the Joseph seep

following. Now that the market has
