] DESIGNATED
AVIATION SITE.

Calexico has been designated by
the government to become the head
quarters for large fleet of airplanes
which are to be used for the border
patrol for the California section east
Of the mauntoins, according to an an
nouncement made by Mayor Abbott
of that city.
1t is also understood that this field
will be stop for the aerial mail ser
vice as this was recommended by Col.
Burwell and Major Smith some time
ago. Also the local field will be used
as base for mapping the border when
that is begun.
In order to fully complete such an
air service establishment it will be
necessary to build permanent hang
ers, machine shops, oil stations and
quartes. 1t is said that at least II
machines will be stationed at CaleX-
leo.
Upon hearing that this city has
been named as possible site for
such quarters, Mayor Abbott at once
ordered the water for the field which
had been levelled by the Chamber
of Commerce, and under his super
vision and that of Captain Stevens
it will be made into an ideal aviation
field.

Danger of Water Short
"a age Has Been Averted.

Just before adjournment this
afternoon, the board of directors
of the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict voted to extend the Arid
Lands Committees of both houses
Of congress the invitation OF COM
ing to the valley at the expense
of the district. in conformity with
the wishes and desires of the val
ley Washington committee. A
telegram was sent by Secretary
Mclver to the latter committee
giving them the boards author
ity for such action.
Late this afternoon the matter OF
inviting the sixteen members OF the
Arid Lands Committee to the valley,
following the taking of recess by con-
gress, had not appeared before the
board Of directors Of the Irrigation
District, who are meeting today. In
speaking of the matter this morning,
Secretary McIver of the district
stated that little doubt was being en-
tertained but that the board will sane
tion the request Of the Washington
committee, who are very desirous of
bringing the Arid Lands Committee
to the valley next month.
r. d. McPherrin, one of the men,
bers of the board of directors, who
is now in Los Angeles, telegraphed
to Secretary McIver today as fol-
lows:
"Think advisable invite Arid Lands
Committee, both houses, to visit val
ley at our eXpense-R. ID. McPher-
rim"
The opinion seems to be unanimous
that if this committee is brought to
the valley that much good can be ac-
complished and the Washington COM
mittee lays a great deal of conf
dence in this fact. The following
telegram was received this morning
from the Washington committee in re
gard to this:
Hearing finished before the Arid
Lands Committee at II tonight. We
feel confident of favorable report. 1t
is the feeling that a great good could
be accomplished if we can get the
committee to visit the valley.-Val-
ley Washington Committee"
The district board is today busy
with general routine work. Super
intendent Cronholm appeared before
the board and told Of the progress be
ing made on the river division in the
installation of the new wier. Com
menting on the water situation, Mr..
Cronholm stated that all danger of
low water had been averted and the
only thing that could possibly cause
a water shortage in the valley was
a flood, which he considered very un-
likely.

]. w. Kramer, one of the good dairy
men of Silsbee is a man after our own
heart, not because he came in and re-
newed his subscription for another
year, but because he wanted to tell US
that he was a member of the Imperial
Valley Milk Producers Association,
that he had 40 COWS and that as he
had the matter measured up the Press
was on the wrong side of the milk
question.
Mr.. Kramer said: 81 want the news

publicly announces that due to strings
held on him by the holder Of his mort
gage that he could not act as a free
agent in the publication Of news is no
fit person to be publishing a news

fight"
Mr. Kramer wanted to get the facts
in the present milk controversy and
he is going to get them. Snap -judg-

Heat Claims
First Victim

An unidentified Mexican who was
employed at Camp 10 of the Coates &
williams ranch near Calipatria pass
ed away last night, the direct cause
of death being reaction from sun
stroke.
The man, who is about so years old,
complained a great deal yesterday of
the heat, and during the day stopped
his work several times in order to
rest in the shade. Efforts were made
by the other men on the ranch to
have the man go back TO camp and
rest, but without avail.
Coming in from the field last night
the man ate hearty supper and re-
tired, apparently none the worse for
the heat of the day. During the night
he awoke members of the camp, who
tried to administer to him.
The body was brought to the un-
dertaking parlors of Mulligan &
Bowen. The date for the funeral has
not been set.

At a special meeting Of the City
Board of Trustees held at the city
hall last night the bond of Captain
Deyo as the new city marshal was
passed upon and accepted and Cap
tain Deyo sworn in, assuming his new
duties this morning.
When interviewed by one of the
reporters from the Press, Captain
Deyo outlined his policies. He stated
that he had asked the board for four
more officers, explaining that the
growth of the city required this num-
ber Of new men. In case that the
board sanctions this request two of
the men will be placed on night duty,
one on the east side Of town and one
in the business section, while one of
the men will be stationed at the city
hall, where he will be at all times
subject to call.
In talking to the reporter, Captain
DeyO assumed the role of a dictator
and established a rather new prece-
dent when he stated that he would
require the cooperation of the news
papers, and unless he did get this CO.
operation it would 'be detrimental to
the newspapers In just what way
it would be detrimental and what he
would do in case he did not receive
all the cooperation he demanded the
captain did not state.
If the new marshal's plans carry
out, there will be a traffic cop on the
streets of the city and violators of
the city and state traffic laws will
be speedily summoned into court and
fined. A warning has been issued to
those who have made practice OF
riding bicycles on the sidewalk.
