PROGRESS MARKS
FIRST DECADE.
BABY IN YEARS ONLY
IS EMPIRE OF THE GREAT
SOUTHEAST OF STATE.
Few of Original Officials Remain in
Office Today, But Number Still
Active in County Affairs.

Tomorrow Imperial county rounds
out the first decade of its existence
as an organized county.
Because of the all-absorbing inter-
est in the war and the economic prob
lens confronting it, no formal cele-
bration of the event will be held, but
many Of the pioneers, who are still
active here, will pass in review the
events of the past ten years and note
with pleasure that the progress made
is little short of phenomenal
The evolution of the Valley from
an arid desert was rapid and al
though but a few years had elapsed
the Transformation from desert waste
to country rich in agricultural pro-
ducts made it essential that the ter
ritory should be formed into a new
county and it's affairs handled in a
way suitable to its peculiar and un-
usual conditions.

CAN'T TAKE u. S. OFFICERS.
State Has No Control Over Man in
Federal Service.

Sacramento, Aug. 1.-THE Califor-
ria National Guard officers recently
dismissed from service by Major Cen
eraI Hunter Liggett, commanding the
Western department, United States
army, have passed from the jurisdic-
ton Of Adjutant General Boree, who
said in this connection:
"Any officer who is not within the
jurisdiction Of the United States army
is not eligible under the states COM
mand."
Lieutenant Colonel Herbert r. Fay,
however, is an exception to this rule,
according to Boree, as Fay was on the
Coast Artillery reserve and was seek
ing a change in service. He failed to
pass the examination, but retained his
position in the state guard as assist
ant adjutant general.

DON'T NEED FRANCHISE.
City Can Collect 2 Per Cent From
Company.

Sacramento, Aug. 11.-According to
decision handed down by the APP
pellate court of the Third district, in
this city, it is not necessary under
the constitution of California for a
company to apply to a municipality
for a franchise to furnish light to the
inhabitants of city, but the city can
collect per cent of the company's
gross earnings as tax. The decision,
which is of wide interest to public
service corporations, grew out of an
appeal by the Pacific Gas & Electric
Company from Solano County Supe-
rior court judgment in favor of the
city of Suisun, when the corporation
efused to pay the city 2 per cent
tax on gross earnings from electricity
for light and power. The original
verdict against the corporation was
for more than 500, but the decision
of the Appellate court cuts this to
S5S.

feet, and shall also give sufficient
side Illumination to reveal any per
son, vehicle or substantial object ten
feet to the side of said motor We

feet or more ahead of said lamps shall
rise or be capable of being raised
from the drivers seat to more than
"A inches above the level surface on
which the vehicle stands ahead of
vehicle; provided, further, that the
term "headlight' as used herein, shall
denote any light, irrespective of its
location upon the motor vehicle. the
rays of which are projected forward,
except sidelights of not to exceed
four candlepOwer, and that the term
beam of reflected light" as used
herein, shall denote the approximate
ly parallel localized rays gathered
projected by a reflector, lens or other
device; and provided, further, any,
thing herein to the contrary notwith-
standing, that where there is suffi-
cient light within the lateral boun-
daries of the public highway within

DIES FROM HEAT.
Body of Unidentified Man Found J.y-
in Near Railroad Track.

Heat claimed another victim, in the
person of an unidentified man, appar
entity about 8 years of age, whose
body was found two miles north Of El
Centro at the intersection of Eighth
street and the Southern Pacific rail
road. The body had apparently laid
in it's position for several days, with
in sight Of large amount of traffic,
and it is thought remarkable that it
was not discovered sooner.
William Austin, aged about 30, a
carpenter, was overcome by the heat
on the Timken Ranch, near Brawley,
and died shortly afterward. The body
was brought to Mulligan's Undertak-
ing Parlors.

PetrOgrad, Aug. 11.-1he Austro-

northern Rumania, were repulsed by
the Russians. The Teutons were driv-
en- acros sthe Putna river. In course
OF the battle south of the River Pruth
on the Rumanian frontier at Buko-
wilma, the Russians entered the town
and took 200 prisoners. They also
captured 200 Germans at another
point and took a number of machine
guns and, wrestling the heights at
that point from the enemy. The Aus
tro-Germans then attacked on the
southwest in dense waves and are
still fighting fiercely.
The Teuton offensive which began
Thursday in the Zarof region COM
pletely failed. In a stubborn battle
the Rumanian troops southwest of
Pokna were forced to retire three
miles. The Teutons have continued
to develop their offensive on the
West Forkshain railroad, forcing the
Russo -Rumanian forces to retire
across the river east of the railway.
Three hundred Germans were taken
prisoners by the Russians.

FARMERS WILL Be
ASKED TO SIGN
BIG CAMPAIGN FOR LABOR
STARTS TUESDAY.
MUST FURNISH CASH
COUNTY COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
ISSUES CALL.
Urges All Farmers to Take Step
Now to Assure Labor Supply
for the Harvest Time.
COUNTY COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
ISSUES CALL.

In an address to the farmers the
Council of Defense says regarding
labor:
''lf sufficient pickers to harvest the
Icotton crop are to be brought into
the valley, the cotton raisers must
sign the agreement prepared.
when the cotton raisers Of the val
ley have signed it the County Council
OF Defense will be able to secure
money to bring in labor, and not be-
fore.
The County Council of Defense
has arranged plan of finance which
lit believes the most fair and equi-
table that is possible.
There should be no hesitation
about signing. Remember, this 35
cents a bale will be only half the tax
that raise of cents hundred for
picking will cost. And the cost Of
picking will jump much higher than
that il pickers are not brought in"
The agreement referred to above,
after reciting the need for labor and
the plan to be followed, announces
the appointment of O. G. Horne as
trustee to handle the funds.
What They Agree to DO.
The agreement is as follows:
"We, the undersigned, in consider
,ation Of the benefits resulting to US
from the importation of labOrers to
be employed in agricultural enter
prises in Imperial Valley, Imperial
county, State of California, and Baja
California, Mexico, and for value re-
ceived, hereby subscribe, undertake
and agree to pay the sum of thirty
five cents (35c), lawful money of the
United States, to said O. G. Horne
as trustee, on each bale of cotton pro-
duced and ginned by us.
"To facilitate the payment and col
lection of the money it is further
agreed that we, and each of us, will
pay to any company, partnership or
individual ginning our cotton the said
sum of. thirty-five (35c) per bale at
the time of ginning and when said
sum has been paid by the subscrib-
ers hereto unto said company, part
nership or individual, the same shall
be paid Immediately by said company,
partnership or individual to said o.
G. Horne, as trustee, in liquidation of
our respective obligations. We agree
also to gin our cotton at the gins OF
those companies in the Imperial Val
ley which shall make such charge
and collection of thirty-five cents
(35c) per bale, as above set out, and
we further authorize said 0. G.
