NEW SECRETARY FOR
AUTO CLUB HERE

Carl E. McStay, secretary of the
Southern California Automobile AS
aociation, is here with NJ, T. Eman-
uel, who has been selected by the
former to serve as secretary of the
Imperial County branch of the asso-
ciaton, and who will be inducted into
his office at once
Several locations are being consid-
cred for the office of the secretary
but it seems probable that the rea'
of the Davis building, on Sixth street
between Main and State streets, Wi
he chosen as joint offices for the a
sociation and for the Ell Centro Cham
Der of Commerce.
This location is very central ar
is we'll adapted to the needs, having
good frontage for display Of farm

At Imperial.

The greatest interest attaches to the
election in Imperial, where, aside from
the election Of city officers, the issue
is squarely presented whether the Ii
cense policy which has so injured that
town and so menaced the entire val
ley shall be continued or the city re
turn to the dry policy which all the
towns had followed up to the time
Imperial voted for license.
In accordance with the announce
ment made in the Press Saturday
evening, Sheriff Applestill and his
deputies were present with 270 sub
roenas to serve on those alleged to
have registered fraudulently, and, as
rapidly as the men came up, where
challenged and got in their votes,
the subpoenas were served command
ing them to appear before the granc!
jury, which Will meet here Wednes
Cay.
At each polling place there was an
| attorney and stenOgrapher, repre-
senting the "drys," that there might
he q complete record OF the challenges
and the replies to present to the Crane
jury.
This procedure made the voting very
slow, and it looked as though most
Of those fraudulently registered would
fail to vote, though the booze contin-
gent were WORKING desperately
throughout the day to round up their
dupes and get then to sacrifice them
selves to save the saloons. The Press
forms were closed too early to de-
termine whether they were able to
accomplish this before the voting
erded.
At noon the prospects seemed good
for the town going dry.
In Calexico.
CaleXico has been considerably =
stirred up over the election in that
city, where there has in the past been
an unfortunate tendency to break into
factions. The candidates before the
people are:
For trustee, three to elect-John w
Donaldson, Edward Dool, Max Harris,
John c. Pace, Harry Schneider, John
w. Singer, James W. Smith.
For city clerk-Hazel L. Aitchison,
Edward B. Browne, Franklin P. Green.
For city treasurer-Orville Knight.

All Sixth Class Cities
Holding Elections Today

Throughout California al cities Of
the sixth class, which includes all in
Imperial county that are incorporated,
are holding their biennial elections.
The ordinances of the several towns
determine what officers aside from the
trustees shall be elected, in some towns
the clerk, treasurer and marshal all
being elected, while in this city all Of
ficers are appointed by the trustees,
who alone are elected.
In Ell Centric.
There was no issue in the Ell Cen
tro election, the whole problem being
the choosing of capable trustees, and
while each candidate had his friends
who were working for him, there was
no disagreeable personality in the
campaign. There were three trustees
to be elected, and following is the OF
der in which the names of the six
candidates appeared on the ballot:
William C. Allen
Alvin N. Bucklin
Jacob Duman
William Egerer
William Erkelens
Ralph w. Voyce
George w. Watkins
1t was claimed this morning that a
number of ballots were being cast
with but two names on each, Allen
and Egerer constituting one group
and Bucklin and Watkins another
group, while an Independent campaign
was being made especially by the la
Dor unions in the interest of Voyce.
This tendency to double shot" or "sin-
gle shot" may be determining factor
in the election.
While there was nothing sensational
in the voting here today, there were
300 votes cast up to 1920 and
throughout the day there has been
free balloting that gives promise Of
a good total.
There was far short Of full registra
ton in Ell Centre and many citizens
found they were not qualified to vote.

Greatest Water Discharge
For Many Years Coming

AS the Press has heretofore stated,
the Colorado river during the coming
three months will probably carry more
water than during the same period for
many years.
New light is cast on the situation
ly reports from Colorado, to the eff
feet that there is a greater quantity
of snow on the mountains than for
many years, and that it is compact
and represents much water. Reports
from Arizona are to the same effect,
the mountains of that state, which
drain into the Colorado, being deeply
covered with snow, which is now be-
ginning to melt. AS result of the
latter the river already is we'll up, and
probably will continue above normal
until some time in July.
The weather bureau office in Den
yer is watching the upper Colorado
end its tributaries, and has sent out
notice that unusually high water is
to be looked for this summer, though
Of course the height of the flood will
be determined by the way in which
the snow disappears. Should warm
rain come on it, there would be an eX-
tremely high flood, but it would be
possible for much of the snow to eVap-
crate, or to melt slowly enough to hold
the crest of the flood down.
Officials of the Irrigation District
realize that they have the prospect of
q hard battle, and are preparing to
combat it, Arrangements are being
made with the Southern Pacific Com
pany to lay track on Volcano Lake
levee, with a view to hauling rock fot

there is a feeling Of comparative Sc
curity for the levee.
