NAME MARK ROSE
CANAL DELEGATE

After one of the most acrimonious
sessions in the history of the lmpe
rial Irrip alton District board of di-
rectors, Mark Rose this afternoon
was appointed member of the COM
mittee which is in Washington seek
ing government aid in the financing
and construction of the All-American
canal project.
A delegation representing the Farm
Bureay Seeley, Holtville, Calexico
and El Centre districts was present
to advocate the candidacy of Mr..
Rose. The interest in the vote was
heightened because of recent tele-
gram from Washington from Rose
which reflected on the attitude of Di-
rector McPherrin on the canal ques-
ton.
Director J. Stanley Brown nomi-
mated Rose, the motion being second
ed by Manning.
Edmunds of Calexico and McPher-
rim cast their votes in the negative.
Chairman Nickerson broke the tie
by voting for the appointment.
Mr.. Rose is already in Washing
ton unofficially and the demand for
his appointment came after news had
been received that f. S. Lack, the
Brawley member, had refused to work
with him.

LONG STAPLE
COTTON ASSN.
PLANS TO QUIT 2

Stockholders of the Imperial Val
ley Long Staple Cotton Growers AS
sociation will, in all probability, have
the opportunity next Tuesday, when
an important meeting will be held, OF
voting on a plan to discontinue the
ossaciotion The temporary plan is
to discontinue the functions of the
association for year and at the ex-
piration of that time decide whether
the discontinuance shall be permanent
The association is entirely solvent
and the reason for the bringing up
of this question at this time is that
the officials do not feel that it is
receiving the support it should. One
of them yesterday, who refused to be
quoted, stated that the association did
not feel like furnishing cotton re-
ports, which are obtained through an
expensive wire service, to cotton
growers and cotton byers who did
not patronize the association. In sew
eral other ways the association does
not feel that it is being supported in
the manner in which it should be.
Some time ago there was a little
furry in the affairs of the associa-
ton, but that has been successfully
weathered and the company is now in
excellent shape and entirely solvent.
The directors seem to feel that it
the association goes out of business
for year it will be easy to deter
mine whether there is an actutal need
for such services as it furnishes.

Kellar Back;
Will Locate
In H0ltville

Lowell Kellar, the son of A. H.
Keller, vice president of the First Ma
tional Bank, arrived in the Valley last
night, after a continuous service OF
eighteen months abroad. He was met
Saturday in San Diego by Mr.. Keller,
and the two returned to the valley
last night.
Needless to say the young mans
father is rejoicing over the safe re-
turn of his son, who, notwithstanding
the fact that he was a driver of one
of the tanks, and in the thick of the
fray at all times, received not a
scratch.
He will be located in Holtville, which
is to be his permanent home, and has
accepted a position with the First Ma
tional Bank of that city.
The other son of Mr.. Keller is still
abroad and there is no indication that
he will Immediately return. He is one
of the machine gunners and has seen
twenty-five months of overseas serv-
ice 1t is expected that when re-
lieved of service he, too, will return
to California, and make his future
home in the Valley.

HIGHWAY SCHEME

Despite the fact that Ell Centre has
had to fight for every foot of the
road allotted, because the highway
commission is controlled by the "solid
three of the Board Of Supervisors,
the Ell Centre Chamber Of Commerce
at a mass meeting last night endorsed
the proposed county bond issue of ST.
100000.
A resolution was adopted, carry
ing the name of Will S. Fawcett as
chairman of the committee, calling on
the voters of the city and county to
work and vote for the issue and pledg
ing the organization to support both
the state and county issues.
The meeting was held in Davis hall
and was well attended. President j.
l.. Travers called the meeting to or
der, but surrendered the gavel to Mr.
Fawcett The resolution to support
the bonds was introduced - Joseph
F. Seymour and seconded BY B. f.
Fuller
A special committee of two men,
bers-Atttolney HickcoX ana }. f. Da-

means to aid in the bond campaign.
The committee was told to make
plans for an advertising campaign in

Cantaloupe distributors from all
over the valley Yesterday attended
the first meeting to be held under the
auspices of the Federal Bureau Of
Markets. Direct wires from the East
will be received. starting this morn
ing, and the government plan of dis
tribution will be placed in effect.
No one is willing to predict what
size the shipments may assume by
the end Of the week, as the season
already is coming on faster than any
previous season in history. Although
starting trifle late, the shipments
have exceeded all previous shipments
for the same date.
Weather conditions have been per-
feet for the past week, cool nights
and warm days, and the melons are
putting on a marked superiority. This
is pleasing to both grower and dis
tributor.
Prices continue to remain at a high
level throughout the East, averaging
above So crate.

entire cost of the projected municipal
building.
