heavy monetary loss was suffered by
rioting and looting here last night.

Unionists returned by singing the Ma

Next week will be the last week for

if they are to avoid appearing before
His Honor" 1t has been reported that
the law governing the turning around
in the middle of the street is being
abused, that very few drivers take
the precaution to go around the block
in order to make turn, perferring
rather to take a chance on being
pinched and turn around in the middle
Of the street.
No arrests for violation of the mo-
tor laws have been reported in Ell
Centre but many will be reported if
the letter of the new laws is not strict
ly adhered to by motorists.

NOTED SPEAKER BE
HERE IN NOVEMBER

DR.. Edward Amherst OFT who will
lecture in Ell Centre early in Novem-
Der of this year is at present with
the Lincoln Chautuaqua, speaking be-
fore crowded houses on the Illinois,
Indiana circuit.
The following is one of many favor
able press comments received here
and has to do with his lecture, "Vic-
tory" which he is giving exclusively
this season and which he says is not
war lecture nor even a reconstruc-
ton lecture, but an after-the-war
study of immediate action.
"a big man with a real message
came to Morris, Ill. yesterday. Ed
ward Amherst OFT is by all means the
strongest speaker ever heard on the
platform of the Lincoln Chautauoua,
during its local history. In his lecture
on "Victory" last night, he charmed
and stirred the audience for almost
two hours. Withering sarcasm and
'sS' i'hS NoiHiiiCIl seilSG were mingled
with intense American idealism in his
ever to be remembered appeal.
Mr. OFT declared that the 18th
of last November was the greatest day
IN history next to the day of Calvary.
1t saw the failure of the philosophy
| OF kaiser that was diametrically op-
posed to the philosophy of Christ-the
philosophy of the mailed fist. The
speaker took fling at the absurdity
of the special honors about to be
showered on the Prince of Wales dur
ing his coming visit. "a mere bow
he asserted, "who has never done any,
thing worth while, and who stands
for royalty and nothing more. Why
not send us the little Welsh coal min
er, Lloyd George, who has saved his
country and has been the Lincoln of
Great Britain"

AGEO MAN DIES
At HOME OF SON

Coming here to spend long plan
ned visit with his son only to meet
death, was the experience of Jackson
Powell, who last night died from heat
prostration at the home of his son,
eight miles west of Imperial. The
elder Jackson has just passed his S0th
birthday and had come to the valley
with the idea of spending the hours
between sunset and dark with his son
and family. He arrived last week
from Washington and a happy family
reunion was had and many plans for
the immediate future were laid.
The intense heat of the past three
days proved to be more than the aged
man could endure, death claiming him
last night.
He will be buried in Evergreen
cemetery tomorrow morning, after
funeral services which will be held in
the chapel of Mulligan Undertaking
company.

mer assistant manager of the road

Movement to Keep Phil
Swing on Water Work
Until Completed is Grow
ing Daily.
SWING LOSS
WOULD BE GREAT
If Mr.. Swing Resigns to
Accept Judgeship Valley
Would Suffer Beyond
Comprehension.

The movement to keep Phil
Swing on the water job instead of
accepting the superior judgeship of
fered him by Governor Stephens is
rapidly assuming large proportions.
Not only do the business men and
the Irrigation District feel that to
lose Mr.. Swing as legal advisor to
the district would be blow that
would take the valley some time to
recover from, as no one in the valley
has the whole situation at the tips
of his fingers as has Mr.. Swing,
hut ranchers are beginning to ex-
press the opinion that Mr.. Swing
should be retained on the water job
until it is completed.
While it may seem to be a big
personal sacrifice to decline to ac-
cept the superior judgeship, still as
many aver, if Mr.. Swing does decline
the office and stays with the water
situation that if in the future he
should again aspire to judicial hon
ors that he will have the entire val
ley in his support. On another page
The Press is CARRYING petition.
Sign it yourself and get several 9TH
er signatures to it and either mail
direct to Mr.. Swing or to The Press.

Chamber of Commerce is
Joined by Many in Opin-
ion that Two Stage Lines
to Coast are Needed.
SHOULD WATCH FOR

Public Interested in Ade-
quate Stage Lire to Val.
ley Should Watch for the
Hearing Date. 4

With the action taken by the Cham
ber of Commerce at its last meeting
endorsing the granting Of the A. R.
G. Bus company a franchise to oprate
stages between the valley and San
Diego points, and with many of the
business men Of the valley boosting to
have two stage lines and with the in
creasing number of people who daily
signify that two stage lines are really
nodded in the valley, the granting OF
the franchise to the A. r. G. COM
pany looks very favorable.
No word has been received in the
valley as to when the railroad COM
mission will hear the application but
it is reported that it will be some time
during the latter part of this month
and it is hoped that the new stage
line will be in operation in time to help
handle the fall travel to the valley.
In the hearing of an application for
Il franchise the railroad commission
requests that the applicant produce as
many witnesses as possible in order
to show the necessity of passenger
line. The people in the valley who
are interested in adequate travelling
service are requested to appear before
the commission at the time that this
hearing is held and testify to the ex-
isting necessity fer two stage lines.

SUMMER BACHELOR
TIRED OF HIS JOB

Much elation is being expressed on
the streets by the summer bachelor
over the fact that each day brings the
time when his family is to return
home, enc day nearer.
At the beginning of the summer
months when wife and the kiddies
pack up and go to the mountains or
seashore, the summer bachelor usual
ly sighs and says to himself that now
he will be able to do just as he pleases
But as the days pass into week and
the weeks into months the summer
bachelor grows tired of his job.
He gets up an hour or two earlier
now than when the family was at
home, goes out to the kitchen, sur
veys the sink piled full of last nights s
yesterdays and last weeks dishes
He opens the ice chest, scans the in
terror and then decides that he isn't
hungry and goes down town, climbs
upon a stool at the soda fountain anG
orders an egg matted milk, telling
himself that it's too hot to eat anC
that he wasn't hungry, besides he
has a slight hunch that the maltec
milk breakfast is good for his indi
gestion.
He eats at the fountain again al
noon, couple of sandwiches and some
milk, or perhaps potato salad. Al
night he has steak and French fry.
and then goes to the movies, aftel
which he goes home to bed only tt
arise the next morning and go thr,
the same performance again.
So as the season wears on tn,
gusted, kicks considerable at tn,
double standard of living and count
the days until the wife will return.

struction are taken exactly as in ad-
miralty proceedings, but the owners
of goods seized under this asst have
the right to a trial " jury to deter
mine their guilt or innocence of vio-
lating the section OF the statute which
makes the boarding OF foodstuffs a
felony, punishable by fine of $4,000
or Imprisonment for two years, or both
such fine and Imprisonment.
Because Of the perishable nature of
the foodstuffs, seized last night, the
Government probably will leave them
in the cold storage house and will
seek to have the process returnable

.hiskey Price
Takes Jump

The price of good and other
wise whiskey has leaped and
bounded since the nation went dry
on the 1st of July, in the valley
if the figures given by Mexican
who made an affidavit that he
: had purchased several bottles of
the frey liquid on the east side
of El Centre, are accepted.
Bootleg whiskey now demands
the price of $3.50 per half pint
while $500 is placed as the value
of pint. Before the dry law was
enacted a full quart of whiskey
could be purchased for $500.
Not only is the price high now but
it promises to go higher il many
more arrests are made of the
b0Otleggers.

SUPERVISORS TO
HEAR APPEAL

Efforts are beifg made by the men
in the valley irftefEstref--is~-keeping
the road leading to Salton Sea, to lay
the matter before the board of super
visors and to try and get sanction of
that body for the county to maintain
this road.
AS has been pointed out in these
columns, the Salton Sea offers to the
winter visitor to the valley, scenic
wonders not to be had anywhere, COM
peting with the wonders Of the Grand
Canyon, although on a smaller scale.
Here the tourist sees the history of
the valley, for the fast receding wa
.ters Of the Salton Sea paint a vivid
picture in the mind Of how at one time
the entire floor of the valley was
under the waters of the sea and how
gradually the water has each year
lessened.
The Chamber of Commerce and the
business men of the valley are of the
opinion that the sea offers real in
ducement to the winter tourist to
California to visit the valley and
everything possible should be done
to keep the road open so as to allow
as many who wish to visit the sea an
opportunity to do so.
According to Capt. Jack Davis,
father of the road plan, the matter
will be laid before the board of su-
pervisors at the meeting early next
month.
