County Receives
Steady Rainfall

A soaking rain visited the valley,
beginning about this morning, and
at times coming down just as though
it was accustomed to this climate.
Early as it is in the year, the rain
finds a good deal Of alfalfa cut, and
there will consequently be some loss
of hay, but the general effect will
he favorable for the crops now grow
ing, while it will assist in putting the
ground in condition for cotton plant
ing and will probably be equal to an
irrigation.
The rain is proving expensive for
the sewer contractor, as in some cases
the excavations were filled with wa
ter, making bad mess. This was
especially the case in the alley back
of the stores on the south side of Main
street between Fifth and Sixth streets.
The ground in this strip has already
showed a disposition to cave badly in
some places and, now that there is a
good deal Of water in the ditch, a
great deal of extra work will be neces-
sary.
At times during the day the rain
came down like a fierce April shower
in the old country and the streets
were so flooded that pedestrians got
about with difficulty.
For the last three days Portland,
Ore, has been reporting excessively
heavy storms, and when storms enter
on this continent central as far south
as Portland, the course of the storm
dips far to the southward before TAX
ing the course eastward, and that
appears to be the case in connection
with this storm.
Coming on top Of the rain of two
days ago on the Coast, it is feared this
may imply another flood period in
that section, with possible repetition
cf damage to roads and railways, and
returns from the storm will be await
ed with interest.
In the valley it will temporarily put
the roads in bad condition, but will
result in better roads when the ground
has had time to dry OUT.
The rain let up for a short time
about noon, but at that time very
heavy storm was passing over thu
southern and eastern portions of thu
valley, being accompanied by severe
lightning and thunder.

again in the valley in connection with
the boys pig clubs. He endorsed the
plan Of the County Farm Bureau to
hold a valley hog show in Ell Cen
tro in May, at the time the High
School boys finish their pigs, and
promised the cooperation of his de-
partment to make it success.
A meeting of the committee ap-
pointed by President Wills of the
Farm Bureau to arrange for the hog
show has been called for Friday after
noon at 2 o'clock at the Barbara
Worth hotel. This committee is COM
posed of Ed German, chairman; w. l..

C. L. Buskirk. Professor Ingalls, will
be present and the plans will be out
lined.
Principals of the high schools and

Barbara Worth tomorrow evening at
6 o'clock to discuss the pig club work
and arrangements will be made to
hold the show at the time the boys

Booze is up to its old trick. 1t has
colonized several hundred men in I'M
perial for the city election, though
they have no more moral or legal
right to vote there than they have in
Zanzibar.
Many of these men who have per-
jured themselves by registering from
Imperial have notoriously been resi-
dents of other parts of the valley for
years, and there are some names on
the register of parties who have not
been residents of any part of the val
ley for years, but who have appar-
emily loaned their names for the oc-
casion.
Several hotels, dives and lodging
houses of Imperial are evidently loan
ing themselves to the fraud which is
being perpetrated, as hundreds of men
are registered as residing at these
places-men who are never in the
town except for a. debauch.
It was this sort of work which
forced the saloons on Imperial in the
first place, against the will of the
majority of the citizens, but it is ex-
tremely doubtful if the fraud can be
worked again.
Ten of the leading citizens have
filed with the county clerk the re-
quired documents to compel the lodg-
ing house keepers of Imperial to make
a showing of the actual residents of

grafton.
But below the line there is diff
ferent aspect to the situation, and
Governor Cantu has himself taken
steps to solve the problem in a way
that shows his ability to govern his
section wisely.
Heretofore large number of Chi
nese have been imported, being taken
through the United tSates in sealed
cars Under bond. Governor Cantu has
row ordered that no more Chinese,
Japanese or Hindus shall be taken to
his territory for work, but at the same
time he is undertaking to bring in a

their respective places, and there is
talk of bringing the matter to the
attention of the grand jury, in which
event there will probably be scores
of indictments for false registration.
It is not simply the anti-saloon peo-
pie of Imperial who are interested in
this, but the frauds of the past and
the preparations for repetition of
fraud this year are so brazen and so
extensive that the whole county is in
terested, for the sake of common de-
cency, in bringing the perjurers to
answer for their crimes.
There seems now to be no question
that the majority of the bona fide
residents of Imperial are opposed to
license, and those people are entitled
to the support of the people of the
whole valley in their efforts to pro-
tect their rights against the debauch-
ing element which, in violation of law,
have voted saloons on the city and in
tend to keep them there by the perpe-
tration of further crimees.
The list of registered voters will
be gone over most carefully before
election, and the vigorous program
which is in hand, with the whole force
of law behind it, is expected to be am
pie to secure an honest election and
probably to furnish a good delegation
for the penitentiaries before the af-
fair is ended.

Washington, March 22-Rumors
that Germany is seeking peace
through the instrumentality of the
United States have been circulated
during the last two days and are now
set aside by statement by the state
department.
Among other things, it was stated
that American Ambassador Gerard,
who had been planning on taking a
vacation, had cancelled his plans be-
cause peace was near. The state de-
partment today stated that the vaca-
tion had not been abandoned and that
there was no justification for such
an inference. 1t is stated further that
any statement that Germany has in
timated desire for American medi-
alton or suggested that the matter be
taken up with other powers is un-
founded. The department has no in
formation that Germany is preparing
to make definite move toward peace.

ing much uneasiness, as there are
three lines by which communication
might be maintained-a military line
strung by the army as it proceeded,
wireless service, and the railroad line.
That all should be put out of COM
mission at the same time is considered
bad feature. 1t is admitted by rail-
road officials that the railroad line
was cut by raid of Villistas, and is
considered possible that Pershing may
have been surrounded by Villa in the
mountains and his retreat cut off,
while it is always a possibility that
the Carranza forces will 60 over to
Villa.
Supplies are being rushed to the
front, but they may not reach the
troops for several days.
Ell Paso, March 22.-Early efforts
today to communicate with Pershing
failed, all communications being sew
cred. This does not necessarily i'm
ply that he is in trouble, but military
authorities are apparently much con-
cerned.
The fact that reports continue to ar
rive here of the widespread anti
American propaganda throughout
Mexico gives rather ominous aspect
to the situation, but the rushing of
all available American troops to the
border indicates that the government
intends to do all in it's power to pre-
pare for any emergency that may
arise.

soldiers at present is but $15 per
