THE IMPERIAL VALLEY UP TOI
 OLD NASTY TRICKS

The present board of directors of the Imperial lrrga ton District just about nasty and tricky as the pre- vos board as very clearly indicated by the underhandeo manner in which they seek saddle another abomnaole diversion dam on the people of Yuma Valley the Hanlon Heading intake.
 Last fall when Imperial Valley famishing for even water enough keep its live stock alive they sought 10 build diversion dam Hanlon Heading whether Yuma or the United States government liked or not Pending decision the part of the secretary of war as to whether the dam should be built nO and in fact Tn utter dSre gard of the permit issued the rule ruin officials then in charge of the Imperial District actually went to work on
 dam that had been forbidden Before the matter was ad justed Yuma Valley Water Users Association officials went into their motion and obtained temporary m junction restraining Imperial Valley from constructing the proposed dam With in their eyes as big as any ever shed by the hypocrca crocodile they over to Yuma and begged and whned until farmers reented to the extent of permitting the construction of the dam on the ex pct promise that Imperial Valley would never agaln aSK or seek have another dam erected across the Colorado river Honon Heading They were forced to put up two bonds one of S25OOO the department and another of SOOOOO to the Water Users Association to deay the expense of removing the dam before the first ot last anu ary The dam has been removed but whether sufficiently prevent damage Yuma Valley during the approaching spring flood remains to be seen.
 The old ruin or rule board of directors together with Redwood and Conklng, forciby removed from ot- flee thought the set of officials would be some what decent in their actions towards their neghbors in the Yuma Valley but seems didn't know the cabre of the recently elected to govern Imperial Valley. Like thief in the dark they have slipped Washington either in person by proxy and seems have about induced Sec retary of War Baker to give them the right to diversion dam Hanlon Heading. Not an nt- nation did they give the people of Yuma Valley that they even contemplated any such action.
 On the other hand they have steadastly given out to the world that their shortage problem now solved that the and half millions of dollars they are wrnging from the pockets of the suckers of Imperial Valley all that needed; that the intake would give them all the they could use, &c, &c., all of which given publicity simply for the purpose of deceV ing the people of Yuma Valley,
 But their duplicity won't work We do not propose to sit idly by and permit Imperial Valley to eopardise own homes for homes just dear the homes of the people of Imperial Valley them except that

COMPANY L, ARIZONA GUARDS.

It will be welcome news to the mothers, wives and sweethearts of the boys of Company L, Arizona Guards, who have been serving Uncle Sam for almost a year will soon be home. A commission composed of Captain McDaniels, Lieutenant New ton and Lieutenant Chambers of the local Fourteenth infantry, has been named to muster our boys out of the regular service Just exactly when this. will take place is not yet known at local army headquarters, but it is safe to say it will be within the next couple of weeks. Our gallant boys will be given justly rousing recep- tion when they return home, for they have made names for themselves and for Yuma that every citizen in Yuma has just cause to be proud of. They are said to come nearer to being regulars" than any national guard company in the United States. ~

to get a picture of this char acter. But fortunately we have in Yuma a set of wide awake citizens who realize the great benefits that will accrue to Yuma from show ing this film all over the country. Mir. Sanguinetti started the good work by subscribing an even hundred dollars. He was followed by Manager JohanSen of the Ca sino and Yuma Theatres with fifty dollars, and the board of supervisors added anoth- CT. $50. A complete subscrip- ton list will be published next week that all may see who have helped in the good cause.
 In the meantime Yuma is to be congratulated that MT. Blanchard is taking such a lively interest in the forth coming sale of Yuma Mesa lands. It means that the sale will attract thousands of wealthy people to Yuma.
 Indeed, MT. Blanchard's idea is to make the mesa aux Hilary project second Pasa- dena or Redlands. He will reach Yuma the second week in March and will remain here until all his plans are definitely worked out. That he will be royalty received by our people is a foregone con clusion, and that he will make the forthcoming sale a tremendous success goes without saying. The accom- panying cut shows few of the scenes taken from "The Queen of Yuma Project" films.

At the earnest request of Hon. C. J. Blanchard, statis- tician of the U. s. Reclama- ton Service, the Queen of Yuma Project" film is to have another run throughout the east, to be used in con- nection with the forthcoming sale of Yuma Mesa lands.
 Early last week MT. Blan- chard was good enough to write me very fully and frankly as to the methods that will be pursued in plac- ing the Mesa lands on the market. Among other things he wrote:
 "Would it be possible for you to secure from the good people of Yuma another print of the Queen of Yuma Pro- ject" films? As 1 wrote you some time ago the print which you furnished the goY- ernment is circulating in Canada at the present time. It has had an enormous cir culation and is now some what worn.

SUFFRAGE Notes
| bIn for presldentIaI suttraEe will

A bill for presidential suffrage will
be introduced in practically every
State Legislature in session this win
tor. The Illinois act, which grants
tha franchise to women IN Presiden-
tial and municipal elections, will be
used as the model measure.
Aside from the dominant influence
exerted by women In the Western
States during the November election,
the exercise of suffrage by women
in Illinois was one OF the most con-
spicuous features Of the last election.
The hundreds OF thousands OF votes
cast by women I'M Illinois ohliterated
suggestions that women are not per
sonally interested in the ballot. The
complete exercise of their preroga-
tive in Illinois has. in the opinion OF
suffragists. at once proved the vital
ity Of equal suffrage and made appar-
ent the anomaly of permitting women
suffrage In some States and denying
it in others.

Dental suffrage bills in the several
State Legislatures will remove this
ridiculous inequality among the wom-
