On account of the rain yesterday it
was necessary to call, off a number
of the meetings in country districts
which were to inaugurate the dry
state campaign, but in Brawley, Holt
vile, Calexico and Ell Centre meetings
were held in the morning, afternoon
and evening, making total of twelve
for the day.
II. A. Wheeler, Southern California
superintendent of the campaign, spoke
at the Christian church at II and held
a meeting for workers from all the
churches in the afternoon.
DR.. Guy W. Wadsworth spoke at
the Methodist church at IL and at the
Presbyterian church at 1880.
Rev. E. w Pasco spoke at the
Holtville Methodist church at II and

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The Calexico backetball teams, both
girls and boys, were defeated by Ell
Centro Saturday on the home courts
of the latter by scores of Al to and
81 to 20, respectively. Saturday
seemed to be Centrals day triumphant
in the athletic line, both games being
won by fast playing and good team
work.
The executive force of the Valley
Interscholastic Athletic League met at
the High School Saturday morning
and arranged schedules for track, ten
mis- and baseball, sports coming in the
order named. The track and field
meet will be held this year at Ell Cen
tro, March A.
On account of the rains the High
School truck and stages were unable
to gather up the pupils in the coun-
try. Consequently only about three
fifths of the pupils attended school
today. All the regular classes were
held, however, and despite the mud
on floors and arcades the day was
an enjoyable one for the break of
monotonOus routine.
Imperial Valley press., 1916-01-17
S115,O00 Allotted for Highway
Between Banning and Yuma

259 miles, from Durham, N. c., to
Fredericksburg, Va.
"Had the journey been made one
month earlier, at least 2 days could
easily have been gained over the run
ming time.
"The funds which made the trip
possible were raised by the Cabrillo
Club and San Diego citizens. The ex-
,penses of the journey were not paid
from the Southern National Highway
Association treasury, although the
sanction of the association was OBJ
taned for the trip, and the journey
was made under the auspices of the
association.
"The distance when all projected
work is completed, San Diego to Yu-
ma, will be 179 miles. The trip was
made from San Diego to Yuma in 10h
hours.
"Contrary to general opinion, the
so-cailed deserts of western Texas, to
and across the Imperial Valley, Cali
fornia, are not deserts, but land which
will some day be brought under the
highest state of cultivation. Especi-
ally is this true of the Imperial Val
ley, in California;; the Gila River ba-
sin, and the Staked Plains of west
iern Texas and eastern New Mexico.
T5 is extremely interesting
hroughout-very different from the
general impression given the railroad
tourist from the car windows. The
colorings through Arizona and New
Mexico can only be truthfully repro
duced by the impressionistic school
of painters.
"The Superstition mountains of
Arizona afford scenery which is only
excelled by a few of the celebrated
beauty spots of America.
"Arkansas, Tennessee and North
Carolina afford beautiful scenic
route largely through virgin country,
with many miles of forest untouched
by man.
Through North Carolina and Vir-
ginia is to be found beautiful scenery
on every hand, and countless places
pregantnt with historic associations.
'In conclusion of this report, and as
to the conditions of the road in gem
eral, it is the writer's opinion that
this route is an open route through
out the year for automobiles, and could
now be traversed with ease during
eight months of the year nts present
condition.

Railroad Officials Believe It Will Be
Five to Seven Days Before Road Is
Reopened to Traffic.

Imperial Valleys communication cut off today
by the loss of the Southern Pacific bridge the Santa
Ana river just east Of Cotton while serious washout at
Whitewater, between Palm Springs and Banning, has
caused washout that is not yet repaired
The incoming train from Los Angeles is stalled there
and the train that left the valley this morning will trans
fer passengers and baggage and return time this
afternoon.
terrific storm still continues the coast and it is
believed number of other important bridges are in
danger
sbe, when the Whitewater break is mended, for trains
to be diverted at Redands Junction to the Santa Fe but
it is believed it will be five days at least before
the Southern Pacific track will be opened to Los Angeles
Los Angeles and all the Southwestern California
towns deuged by the terrific rains, and in the
towns local traffic is greatly impeded
The road from San Diego to Ell Centre is almost i'm
passabe of the stages being held up last evening
by small landslide Mountain Spring, while at
merous points on the mountains obstacles are
tered.
No stage has come through yet today and it would
not be surprising if it found impossible to get here
The interruption of freight traffic to and from the
valley will cut off supplies at both ends Of the rum and
may bring some hardshps before trains running reg
uarly again.
There have been years. notably 1884 and 1884, when
Southern California traffic has suffered greatly the riv
becoming immense torrents Of water but the railroad
structures now are more substantial and nothing like
general loss of bridges is anticipated
Imperial Valley press., 1916-01-17

Sacramento, Jan. 1.-THE State
Board of Control has returned to the
State Highway Commission with its
approval estimates providing for ex-
penGitures of $57 800 on the proposed
highway between Brawley in Imper-
ial county and Banning, and for $751;
500 proposed to be expended on the
road between FL Centre and Yuma.
According to the estimates of the
State Highway Department, work on
these two roads is to be commenced
within two weeks time.
The approval of these expenditures
marks the elimination of long fight
on the part of the people of the I'M
perial Valley to secure highways to
the east and northward from the val
ley, and the carrying out of these
projects is the result of a personal
interest taken in the matter by Gov
ernor Johnson, who in August gave
his approval to the plan of construc-
tion out of highway maintenance mon
eys instead Of from moneys drawn
from the general fund Of the state.
1t has been known during the last
few months that Governor Johnson
has taken an active interest in rela-
ton to the Imperial Valley roads for
the reason that he recognized the jus
tice of the projects and was desirous
of seeing them undertaken at the ear
liest possible moment.
The present activity is due to con-
ferences held between the State High
way Commission and the governor
since his return to the capitol after
recovery from serious illness which
confined him to his home.
