1900, which would restore the eleva-
ton which existed at that time and
make diversion Of all the water in
the river practical and possible.
This plan would settle the ques-
ton of work in Mexico, making the
uncertain work being done at Vol
cano Lake unnecessary and the latter
should be a second line of defense.
Colonel Hohbard expressly called at
tentiCn to the fact that the All-Amer-
lean canal as proposed did not N any
way help the situation in its
protection against devastating floods
below the line, nor would the con-
nection of Laguna Dam with Hanlon
Heading be Of any assistance, but it
is apparent to anyone that there is q
popular demand for rehef from the
existing situation.
The colonel criticised Secretary
Lanes contract very severely and
said it is one-sided, ambiguous and
decidedly unfair from beginning to
end, arJ should be rewritten in a
spirit Of fairness. 1t would appear
as if the secretary regarded the Unit
ed States Reclamation Service as de-
serving of everything the govern
ment. had in the reclamation Of ard
lands an5 that all outside projects
like Imperial Valley should be
cinche5 Just as tight as the contract
could cinch them The colonel was
asked what about the Mexican users
Of water. -,
"What do you think the effect will
be if Mexico is deprived Of the wa
ter, as she has been having it in the
past" he was asked.
His answer was that it was idle to
assume that Mexico had no right u
the waters of river that is inter-
| national in its character, which flows
/ for q long distance entirely within
tie boundaries of Mexico and con-
I cerning which there is treaty II
existence as to the passage Of this

leo is not likely to demand, but he
believes it is entirely within her
rights.
Colonel Holabird recommends that
the State of California be invited to
interest herself in this question
which amounts to so much
to this great and rich val
ley of Imperial, and that
water may ALWAYS coma, even If the
weir is maintained at some hazard
to Arizona lands, and that he does
not believe the government, through
the Department of the Interior or the
War Department, will presume to
destroy the weir at Hanlon Heading
without further conference over the
matter. and saws that if he We're an
Irrigation District officer and he
was ordered to remove the weir, he
would saw to the government:
Remove it yourself, if it must be

sibility of depriving 10000 on 5O'Ooo

Colonel Holabird said in this con-
nection that it apparently appears
that an effort is being made by Mark
Rose to rush the people into voting
for this All-Ameriean canal PROPOSE
ton without giving sufficient time
to analvze the contract and freely
discuss the advantages and dlsa1-
vantages. Colonel Holabird says he
does not believe there is majority

infant will never live long enough
to see an open canal through the
sandy hills that will carry water to

HOLD WAR BONDS.

Hold YOUR Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Certificates Hold them first, because they are
the best investment in the world, backed oy
every resource in the United States, IS the ap-
neal of Secretary of the Treasury William u.
NcAdoo. as sent to Twelfth Federal Reserve
District Liberty Loan headquarters. Following
is the SecretaTy's statement:
Hold YOUR Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Certificates. Hold thenr first because they are
the best investment in the world backed by
every. resource in the United States.
Hold them because you have made sacrl-
fees in order to buy them. Why pass on TO
someone else the contract you have entered into
with your government?
Hold them because even though the war
nav be over it has not vet been paid for The
Treasury Department must soon issue more
bonds. Every sale now made by YOU makes fu-
ture government issues more difficult and more
extensive This expense can be borne only by
the people of the United States; therefore, why
add to the already large burden.
Hold them because the time may come when
such an investment will prove to be true
friend in time of need, guaranty against the
fear OF debt and insurance against real hard
ships.
"Hold them because the need for saving is
not over. Government expenses are today lar
ger than at any time during the war. Our boys
in France and Germany must be paid and fed
and clothed and, when their work Is over, trans
ported home. THEY HAVE NOT QUIT.
WHY SHOULD YOU?
Hold your Liberty Bonds instead Of ex-
changing them for some other so-called 'secur-
itv' because you know the security Of your
United States bonds and cannot often know the
worth of what is offered in exchange. The get
rich-quick crook is ready to steal your bonds
from you at the first opportunity.
Hold them because of the interest they. pay
Hold them because it is good business to do So
What good viii the idle pleasure of needless lux

THE END OF THE YEAR.


The last days of 1918 are approaching. Be
fore long it will be time to close the record,
write 'Finis" across the page Of this years
achievements and begin again on the tasks of a
tWelvemonth.
There is a custom common among many
shreWd business men, to pause as the day draws
to a Close before it is too late to look after mat
ters of necessity, and take stock of what has
been done and what has been overlooked. By
this breathing and thinking spell they are able
to keep pace with their obligations and avoid
the possibility of a neglected duty or promise.
Such habit would be of great avail among com
munities and people if adopted-it would pre-
vent carrying over into a new year odds and
ends of jobs in the old one, or abandoning as
hopeless many things that alo discouraging
merely because they are unfinished.
With two weeks left of 1918, it is worth
while to review few of the efforts made and
see how many of them have not been carried
through TO completion.
The biggest of our work this year has been
patriotic and we, as a city and county, have
made a fine showing therein Nevertheless we
have some regrets which should not be allowed
to dampen the ardor Of our entry upon 1919.
For instance, though we succeeded admirably in
two Liberty Bond campaigns, we fell down on
the War Savings Stamps. Late though it may
be an effort is now under way to dispose OF
enough of these little bonds of the United States
Il is not too late. We can spend what we saved
in the period when money could not be expended
for anlusements and at public gatherings and
through that means put Imperial county at least
nearer to the point should have reached.
We did we'll by the boys in the trenches
while they were there, and when they stopped
fighting we must not stop helping
We have done we'll by the Red Cross
rroughout the year and now we are faced with
new task, that of signing up many member
ships in Imperial county as our quota.
Let Christmas and New Years find the Red
Cross, the greatest exponent of Christmas
thought and deed that we as people support,
well cared for in Imperial county.
There are many other small tasks and under
takings that perhaps have not been done as well
as they merited. individuals have obligations
untitled or dreams of usefulness no yet realized.
There is time left in 1918, but it is short. The
few weeks remaining ought to be crowded from
morning to night with work and service so that
the books may be balanced and the new year
start out with clean sheet.
