b0Az DUNCAN'S
SIGNATURE
RECEIVED
Former Opponent of I'm
provements Thinks Water
Supply Needs Attention.

Boaz Duncan, known throughout tht
Imperial Valley for many years as
one of the strongest opponents to any
improvements to the irrigation sys.
tenn, has signed the petition calling ar
election to vote bonds for improve
ments to the canal system. His sig.
nature was received in, the mail al
the office of the Irrigation District
yesterday.
During the receivership of the Cali
fornia Development Company Duncan
was owner of several thousands of
dollars worth of bonds, the value OF
which was questionable. For this rea
son, it was stated, he strongly op-
posed any suggestion of expenditure
of money by the receiver. When the
settlement of the litigation that at
tended the affairs of the development
company was made recently, Duncan
took a different attitude and indicat-
ed his endorsement of the bonding elan
by sending in his copy of the petition
signed and certified.
An average of more than so names
is being obtained to the petition daily
bringing the total nearer the num-
her required to make the petition eff
fective. Director c. D. Manning is
in Los Angeles in charge of the work
of getting signatures of non resident
owners. There are many copies OF
the petition in Los Angeles county
and the number to be procured there
is expected to be large percentage
of the total when the campaign is
closed, owing to the long list of own
ers of valley real estate residing in
that vicinity.

Children interested in ponies will
have opportunity to buy fine little
fellow placed on sale next Monday at
the second of the "First Monday" trade
days held by the Ell Centre Chamber
of Commerce. The First Monday

ia 4-year-old pony. The conditions of
the sale this time are that every ami
NAL or article offered for sale must

attending the sale.

SENTENCE
STARTS

Last night Enrico Gutierrez stole
nine sacks of grain from the George
Nowlin ranch and this morning at
o'clock the Mexican began serving a
six months sentence. That is an in
stance of the speedy punishment that

it to Ell Centre in one horse wagon.
A ranch hand trailed the wagon to
this city and Deputy Sheriff Roy
Shepard and Deputy City Marshal Ad-
kins took up the chase here. Guiterez
was arrested and told where he had
hidden the gain.
With Gutierrez were Jose Alvarado
and Jose Torres, but they were re-
leased as not being implicated in the
transaction. Gutierrez was taken be-
fore Justice Mayfield and pleaded
guilty.

SECURING NAVAL RECRUITS is

His Requests to Congressthe House

(By United Press)

Washington, March 28.-The ques-

that real war must sooner or later

1t is intimated that President Will
son must be specific and positive in
his message to get what he wants from

ton might be placed on his meaning or

NIGHT TWATCHMAN
IS SERIOUSLY
INJURED
Uses Gasoline to Hurry Fire
and Is Perhaps Fatally
Burned at Sharp's.

John Carl Willie, so years of age,
employed as night watchman at
Sharp's heading, lies in a critical con-
dition at the Jordan hospital in Ca
lexico, where he was brought last
night, following an experience that
may cost him his life.
This morning he was resting more
easy than during the night, and the
result of his burns depends upon
whether or not he inhaled the flames
that enveloped him from head to foot.
Willie and Mr.. Cook, also stationed
at the heading, were preparing to
get supper yesterday evening. Cook
went into the yard and moment later
heard an explosion, and Willie's
scream. He endeavored to reach the
frantic man inside the house, but
found the kitchen filled with flame
and smoke.
Willie ran into the yard veritable
human torch, so thoroughly covered
by the flames that his form could not
be discerned. He was frantic and
seemed 70 have lost his reason. Cooks
first thought was of blankets to cover
the flames and smother them, but he
knew several precious seconds would
be lost in the attempt to get the blan-
kets, so with rare presence of mind
he did the next best thing.
Grabbing Willie, he threw him, with
more force than politeness, into the
ditch, submerging him. The flames
were extinguished, and, disregarding
the painful burns about the hands and
face he had received, Cook pulled the
suffering and almost unconscious Will
lie TO the bank and ran to telephone
fer a physician.
AS near as could be learned last
night, Willie attempted to hurry up
a slow kitchen fire with the aid of
gasoline. Willie is not married, and
has been employed by the Irrigation
District for some time.

Butler and Dillon Advocate
Proper Protection for
Water Systems.

Congressman Butler, a recent
visitor to Imperial Valley with
Kettner's party, after returning
to the Coast declared in a speech
that he would never be content un-
til provisions were made for the
proper protection of the Valleys
irrigation system. He said in part
as follows:
"Our chairman has spoken of a
place in the state which l have
never before visited, called the
Imperial Valley. l had it in my
mind every minute l was there.
l felt that when we had left them
alone we had left those pioneers
by themselves, helpless and alone.
l say, don't let that come to pass.
/ will assist Mr.. Kettner in any
effort he may make to bring in
the water that we own. III never
come back until l know the water
in that valley is right"
Congressman Dillon from North
Dakota appeared also interested
in the preservation of the present
water system of the Valley, stat
ing that in case of war with Ger
many or Mexico six men could de-
stroy the irrigation system. 81

government should buy in some
way a 100-mile strip so as to in
