250 CANTAL0UP'E
CARS OUT TODAY

Cantaloupe shipments today are ex-
pected to approach the high record fol
any day in previous history. 1t is ex-
pected that $50 carloads will leave the
valley before tomorrow morning.
Shipments yesterday topped all ex-
pectations when 213 carloads were
whirling towards market. Seven sar-
loads were shipped to Pacific coast
points.
There is marked tendency to hurry
shipments while good prices are pre-
vailing and the Japanese score board
in Brawley is crowded by Japanese
gesticulating and deciding hurry ship
ments. Eight dollars a crate looks
excellent to them and as a consequence
more than four carloads Of green mel
ons were rejected by the inspectors at
Brawley yesterday.
1t is interesting to note that of
Wednesdays shipments the entire
total shipped in the United States was
172 cars. Of these III were from the
Imperial valley and Florida.

MESQUITE LAKE
IS SINCERE ON
WEIR QUEST ION

The Mesquite Lake schoolhouse was
| crowded Wednesday evening with
ranchers of the district, who had met
for the purpose of discussing what
they termed the surprising action OF
Yuma in refusing Imperial valley nee
essary relief in the matter of the
weir" One of the ranchers read a
newspaper clipping, in which the
Yuma people were quoted as saying
that the Imperial people were not
sincere IN their contract with Secre-
tary Lane. This resulted in the fol-
lowing resolution being adopted:
Having entered into contract
with Secretary Lane, and confirming
thereby large concessions to Yuma,
and fully knowing the obligations
assumed under this contract, we now
ton and purpose to fulfill the said
pediency possible, using ordinary busi-
government and by Yuma--the other
mand every aid they can extend us
Under the terms and the spirit of said
contract.
we Will view any act, or failure to
act, on the part of Yuma, detrimental
to our interests that is rot absolutely
and urgently necessary to their safety
as extremely unfriendly and not die
tated by her needs, but open hostili-
ity to this valley and tending to ham
per our fulfillment of the said con-
tract"
The selection of permanent site
for wer-if forced to build a new
one-below the Arizona line was dis.
cussed at length and showed a grow
ing sentiment in favor Of this move
ment, should it become necessary to
find new site.

speakers at the meeting, is in Yuma

FATHER SEEKS
LONG LOST SIX
YEAR OLD GIRL

Coroner F. w. Peterson of this city
is seeking the longlost 6year-old
daughter of NJ. d. Serrano of Stock
ton. Because of the various relation
ships of those concerned, the daugh-
ter has become lost.
The following letter tells of the odd
tangles:
stockton, Calf, June A, 1919
Mr. f. w. Peterson, Coroner, Ell Cen
ttre, California-Dear Sir: am writ
ing to you for the favor OF giving
me some; information to which you
might have come as coroner of your
county.
"Mr. NJ. d. Selrano of this city,
former husband of Hazel Beatrice
Serrano (and whose maiden name
was Hazel Beatrice Grible) has just
learned that his former wife, Hazel,
died in your city, about a year ago.
He would like to find out whether or
not such is the fact.
Mrs. Serrano was about 26 years
of age and had a daughter by the
name of Twila Gwindolyn Serrano,
aged about 6 years, the child of my
client, M. d. Serrano, which child. he
believes, is somewhere in Ell Centre,
and he believes must be with the
mother of Mrs. Serrano, who resides
in Ell Centre. The mothers name is
Hattie Hodgese, and who was mar
ried formerly to Mr.. Stolberg.
Mr.. Serrano is of the opinion that
his former wife had married again,
before her death, but he does not know
the name of the person she married.
Mr.. Serrona is very anxious for his
child and it's welfare, and would like
to find out, first, if it is a fact that
it's mother died, and, if so, where the
child is, in order that he may provide
for its care and attention.
May | ask you to give me such in
formation in this matter that you may
possess, or are able to obtain?
Appreciating an early reply, beg
to remain, Yours very truly,
MAX GRIMM.

Adriatic Question Again Be-
fore Allied Powers; Italian
Delegation Absent; Ger
mans Return.
(ByAssociated Press)

Paris, June 6.-The absence of the
Italian premier from the meeting of
the Council of Four today led to the
belief that the Adriatic question was
again under consideration. 1t is un-
derstood that no further progress has
been made toward solution of the
problem.
1t is expected that DR.. Karl Rem
ner, chancellor of German Austria
and head of the Austrian peace dele
cation, who, with five colleagues, has
been at Feldkirch in conference with
DR.. Otto Bauer, German Austrian for
eign minister, will return to ST. Ger
main tomorrow:
The Matin today quoted President
Wilson as saying:
81 am convinced that our treaty
project violates none of my principles.
If | held contrary opinion, would
not hesitate to confess it and would
endeavor to correct the error. The
treaty as drawn entirely conforms
with my fourteen points"
The statement is said to have been
made after he became acquainted with
tie German counter proposal.
1t is understood the Berlin govern
ment is sending Photographic copies
of the peace terms to every United
States senator and representative.

OPERA SINGER

RESUE[,FEARS
Of VOICE
Mrs. c. F. Woods, Star of
Portland Opera Company,
Nervous Wreck Following
Main Street Accident.

Fearing the loss of her highly
trained voice as the result of an auto
accident this morning, Mrs. c.. F.
Woods of Blythe, formerly an opera
soloist with the Portland Opera
company, is a nervous wreck at the
Oregon hotel.
This morning, as DR.. and Mrs.
Woods, their son Elliott, aged 8, and
Harry G. Shrives, all of Blythe, who
have been visiting in Ell Centre for
several days and VINO are on a leis-
urely auto trip to Portland were
backing their car from in front Of
the Mort Reiser store, where they had
parked, the back end was sideswiped
by truck belonging to the Califor-
MIA Central Creameries. The blame
for the wreck has not been placed
Mrs. Woods, who was driving the
car, was thrown against the wheel.
her throat injured and she also suf-
fered injuries about the abdomen and
back. The son, Elliott. was slightly
injured about the hip. The other two
occupants of the car were also slight
" injured.
Mrs. Woods has studied for years
in the operate profession and at the
present time is pupil of Madame
Jeane Je Molli of the metropolitan
Opera company. The jar this morn
ing was severe on her vocal chords
and she fears that her voice may be
ruined, which will mean that he stud
les of years will have been in vain.

NEW TANGLE IN
JUDGESH|P MAY
REDUCE SALARY

In all probability Imperial county's
second Superior judge will not receive
the $4,000 salary which the bill signed
by Governor Stephens provides for.
A new angle developed today which
was being discussed by interested par
ties.
The present constitution of the
state provides that county officers do
ing the same duty must receive the
same salary. 1t also provides that
a public officials salary cannot be
raised during his term of office.
Now Judge Cole receives salary
of $4,000 and his salary cannot be
raised during his term of office.
County Auditor Carey indicated to-
day that upon such information as he
now processes he did not think he
would draw warrants for the new
Judge at the rate of more than $4,000
a year.
County Treasurer Barton also indi-
Gated that he would not honor war
rants in excess of this amount.
Salary advances can be made at re-
elections, so it is robable the old
salary will remain in effect until
the next election, over year away.

ATTEMPT DUST
FRED LACK FROM
BIC COMMITTEE

That valley men who are deter
mined that no one with interests be-
low the border can further hinder
the all-Americon canal project will
appear soon before the Imperial Val
ley Irrigation District board of di-
rectors and request the recall of f. S.
Lack from Washington, is the infor-
nation contained in a telegram sent
from Ell Centre today to Mark Rose,
now in the Capitol in the interests Of
the canal, and who was appointed an
accredited delegate to represent the
district in this matter at Washington.
According to the telegram, Mr.. Lack
IS alleged to own 5000 acres of land in
Mexico, below CaleXico. This, in the
opinion of the well-wishers of the
valley, who sent the wire to Mark
Rose, is conclusive evidence of Mr.
Lacks reasons for obstructing the
canal project.
The wire reads as follows:
at now revelops that F. S. Lack
owns six thousand acres of land in
Mexico below Calexico. We will ap-
pear before District board and request
his recall from Washington"
Neither Fred Lack nor any men,
ber of the Lack family owns foot of
land in Mexico" This was George
Lacks answer to the charges that an
effort would be made to call his
brother back from Washington,
where he is acting as delegate for
the Imperial Irrigation District, the
alleged reason being that Fred Lack
owns 5000 acres in Lower Califor-
MIA.
"All the land any Of us own this
side of Los Angeles" continued Mr..
Lack, "is in Brawley."
