ORDER NEW SURVEY =

The board of directors of the
Irrigation District today ordered
another survey of the Imperial
Laguna project in the following
resolution:
"Whereas, the diversion of wa
ter into Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict at the present point of di-
version has been attended with
considerable difficulty in the past;
therefore,
''Resolved, That the engineer of
the district be directed to make
the necessary surveys to ascertain
the cost and feasibility of a con-
nection with Laguna dam; also
that the secretary be instructed to
write the Honorable Secretary Of
the Interior that such survey has
been ordered and that it is the
intention of the district to ask
for right of way across to Yu-
ma Indian Reservation from La
guna dam to the property owned
by the district in Township Is
South, Range 2l East, and also
to connect with Laguna dam on
such terms as the Honorable Sec
retary of the Interior may deem
fair, in case such surveys show
that the bringing of water into
Imperial Valley from the Laguna
dam is physically and financially
feasible

cavalry. They rode trails where no
Carranzista ever had been, where the
natives asserted no horse could 90, and
where the Villa bandits laid ambus-
oades of sinister cunning-but always
ineffective.
! 1t was April 7, when, three miles
south of Cineguile, the picked squad
ron came on an abandoned wagon Of
the prairie schooner type, from which
the canvas cover had been ripped. The
wagon was in good rendition.
/ TheAmericans were able to account
for this only in the light of reports
they had received that Villa himself,
wounded, had ridden in this wagon
week before them over this trail. They
had been assured that the wagon over
turned, that Villa tainted and that
the canvas was thereupon ripped off
to make the white litter on which Viii
la was said to have travelled, carried
by his men.
They saw for themselves confirma-
tion of the report that it was hardly
worth while to right the overturned
wagon, because the trails appeared
to be impossible to wheeled We
hicles. So they struck almost straight
south, over the precipitous San Bor-
a trail, where their native guides
abandoned their horses to proceed
,afoot, assuring the ''foolish Ameri-
canos" that the trail could never be
made by the big cavalry horses from
the states.
The guides walked, the cavalrymen
walked and so did the precious horses,
climbing every boulder that the men
surmounted.
At San Borja, they received the
only report on their entire trip that
Villas wound was not serious. Here
they heard news that Villa had been
wounded in leg, and was astride a
mule. At l o'clock that afternoon they
struck at Casa Colorado, ten miles
south of San Borja, evidence of the
fugitive's whereabouts.
In field where about 100 men had
camped few days before, were sur
pical bandages and absorbent cotton,
and on the articles evidences that they
had come from a wound, or wounds,
in a very infected condition. The only
trail from this field indicated, also,
that, contrary to reports received by
all other pursuing American columns
and by the Carranzistas, Villa prob
ebly had not gone to Santa Ana, but
was trying to turn westward toward
the mountain caves.
Thereupon Major Howze's column
bore westward-a movement which led
into a hostile Villa country.
The Americans, being in excellent
condition and their horses in fair
shape, were now only two days be-
hind Villa, instead of week, the
handicap under which they started.
San Jose Del Sitio was the next
stop. By guarding his house with
American sentries, so that his towns
eople might not pry into the fact that
he was talking to Americans, a veal
thy old man of the Diaz Iregime told
Major Howe Villa had probably not
come to San Jose Del Sitio, but had
turned west, in all likelihood toward
Nonoava, in the mountains. Villa had
sent most of his personal escort
through San Jose Del Sitio.
Hoping to cut off Villas trail out
of the mountains, the cavalrymen rode
south, through territory never ira
ersed by Carranza forces, to Balleaza

Sim Fein Rebellion
Slowly Collapsing

London, May 1.-Partial destruction of Dublin has
resulted from bombardment Of buildings in which the
Sim Feiner rebels have made their headquarters and
several fires have done much of the damage The result
of the fighting however, has been disastrous to the reb
els, many of whom have been taken prisoners, and
throughout Ireland the rebellion is in state OF collapse
AS the facts develop it is evident that the majority
of the Irish people not in sympathy with the rebel
on but overawed by the sudden appearance of the
organized secret revolutionsts.
The revolutionists believed to have numbered
1900 and of the number at least 100 dead and the
number may be considerably greater.

Southern Pacific Under Con-
tract With Irrigation District
To Settle His Claim, But
Transfer Is Delayed.

Here is the most sensational development in
ton with transfer of the property of the California De-
velopment Company to the district
A. F. Andrade, depostaro Of the Mexican company,
has received judgment against the company for OOO
and it claimed that the Mexican courts have given him
title to land formerly belonging to the California Deve
opment Company and supposed to now belong to the
Southern Pacific Company supposed to have value equiv
alent to his claim.
Because of this turn of AFFAIRS the Southern Pacific
transfer to the district is somewhat delayed:
Under the laws of Mexico the depositario (recever)
of an nsovent corporation is allowed from per
all business transacted by him. Mr. Andrade figured
that all the water used in the valley passed through
the canals owned by the Mexican company he EMIT
led commission on the entire collections for water by
the American receiver, we'll money which he
tuay handled and he asked for per cent The commits
slons claimed by him reached the astonishing total Of
about $3500O0
In addition to acting as depostaro for the Mexican
company, Mr.. Andrade employe OF the Southern
Pacific Company at salary of $500 month and the
railroad company apparently thought Mr. Andrade would
comply with any request the company might make of him.
and consequently the company contracted with the rr
cation district to settle with Mr.. Andrade.
But that was not in accordance with his views, and
short time since Mr. Andrade obtained through the MeX
cali court judgment for the $3500O0 of his claim and it
is claimed the court also give him title to enough land to
qudate the claim not certain how much land passed
in this way, but there intmatons that it amounts to
about 1000 acres, all subject to irrigation
1t does not appear clear in what way this obstructs
the transfer of the irrigation system to the district in
cordance with the contract entered nto but is claimed
that this situation is responsible for the delay.
The railroad company is understood to be anxious to
get Mr. Andrade to release the land and depend set
tement Of the differences in the courts but Mr. Andrade
to be toleraby we'll satisfied with the present sta
tls of affairs.
Through procedure the matter to be
brought before the court at Mexca today, when the
Southern Pacific is expected to undertake to get ap
peal to the higher court at the City Of Mexico but if
cessfu in that is uncertain whether the appeal will act
stay of the transfer of the irrigation system to the
district
Information coming to the Press from source is
to the effect that the land appraised under order of
the Mexican court and Mr. Andrade allowed to select
land up the value Of his claim the transfer then being
confirmed by the court From another the state
nen that the land ordered sold and bought
by Mexican company and Mr. Andrade paid his
mission. Presumably Mr.. Andrade large holder in
the stock of this company.
The land in question lies east Of Tecolate and all

Immediately following the hol-

offices viii begin an eight
months season of botton-holing
the voters Of Fulton county.
Even at this time, sharp pro-
files of the coming campaign are
being developed, which is a lit
tie unusual so far ahead. Some
stating has already been in
dulged In by leaders of differ
ent factions, and these states
promise to become open secrets
by the time the lineup is known.
The issue will not necessarily be
new, but will be clean-cut, con-
else, open; and "neutrals,' who
propose to ride the fence, will
find it mighty uncomfortable sit
ting, unless some change takes

THERE Is MORE TRUTH
THAN POETRY IN THE FOL-
LOWING LINES.

When YOU'RE blue and feel de-
spondent,
Do not worry, do not fear;
Remember life is what you make
it,
You can change the gloom to
cheer:
People who are well and healthy
Never let their thoughts turn
back
To the things that are unpleasant
What you need is Lemolac. -
CHORUS
Spell calomel forward then spell
it back
And afterwards use Lemolac.
You II find it very pleasant to
take.
And besides it cannot salivate.
Now, if you should forget the
name,
Spell calomel backwards and
you have it again.
People who are sad and lonely
Sometimes lay the blame to
fate;
They are wrong In their decision,
And should learn before too
late
That the people who are happy
Are the ones that never lack
Pleasures of q healthy liver,
Gained by -sing Lemolac.
People who are gay and happy
Are the ones we like to meet,
As they fill our hearts with glad
ness;
Being with them i q treat.
So let all of us be cheerful
And leave kindnessin our track
And make other people happy
By prescribing Lenolac.
People strive to make great for
tunes,
Lose their heath pursuingI
wealth.
Forgetting that the greatest bless
ing
Is for them to have good health
They should top and pause a
Before their liver's out of
whack.
Take a rest and hoy the pleas
