a willingness to increase class rates

The decision came as thunderbolt

the commission long list of increased

the raise.

That the roads are not dependent

in the decision. The eastern roads

OPERATION.
LABOR is NOW SCARCE
GREAT NEED is FOR LABOR ON
LEVEES.
People Of Blythe Set Good Example
TO Imperial in Manner in Which
They Responded to Call.

SnCSlCI AlllSOii, lOliliSI SAlCi
engineer for the Irrigation District,
who has returned from a successful
fight with the river at Blythe, urges
full cooperation between the ranch
crs and the Irrigation District in the
matter of furnishing labor to the Dis
trict during this critical period.
Some ranchers are offering more
wages to the men engaged on con-
struction work below the line. This
should cease, according to the engi-
neer.
"If the people of Imperial Valley
respond to the call for flood fighters
as did the Palo Verde Valley men,
then there will be no doubt regarding
the issue between the river and the
District" said Mr. Allison.
''For eight days from 100 to 150
lanchers and business men worked
day and night with shcvels and sand
bags in twelve hour shifts to keep
Lack the water. By exerting every
exerting every effort we kept from
three to six inches ahead of the wa
ter all the time. We comniandeered
the entire resources of men and ma
terial of the valley. They responded
with a will. Men who had never
handled shovel in their lives wore
biisters on their hands toiling in the
great heat for their lands, their bus
ness and their homes.
Rivers Attack.
"The attack of the river was direct
ed at point four miles wide just
below the new intato which itselt
was under water for three days. The
water raised two and one-half feet
glove any point ever known before in
the Valley.
Business houses were deserted,
farming was at standstill; there
was not man in sight except at the
levees, where we raised the banks with
material from the inside. With indom-
table spirit and determination the
ranchers and clerks and merchants
fought that river, keeping just few
inches ahead of disaster. When the
crest had been reached and the wa,
ters began to recede, and victory came
to those sweating men, it was indeed
sweet to them, and many cheer
went up. They are still on watch OIL
the levees, but | think that the banks
will hold, and the valley has been
saved from a flood that would have
caused great damage"
Greatest Peak Here.
That the flood which has now passed
Needles and Blythe is the peak of
the load which the river will carry
this summer is the expectation OF
Mr.. Allison. This was the high wa
ter reported coming down the river
from the Green and Grand discharges.
1t will reach Yuma some time Sun
day and will spread out at Volcano
Lake bout Tuesday, according to Mr..
Allison's estimate. He kept in close
t uch with Engineer Clarke of the I'M

him of the rivers behavior during the
