have been some gun play.

Mort Reiser is a tickled person to-

there were none in town.
In his perplexing situation what did
Mort do? His amel cigarettes arrived

the Imperial valley. The cigarettes
were obtained from the Post Exchange

two hours. Incidently Kim Johnson,
one of the owners fthe plane, is the
first travelling salesman to ever enter
Imperial valley by airplane. He works
for Hass Barauch company.

FARM BUREAU DOES
NOT WANT CHANGE
BACK ON ALLEY

Directors of the Farm Bureau will
meet Saturday morning for the first
time since the summer and one of the
matters to come up will be the pro-
posed move from the present quarters
to a garage on the other side of the al
ley at the rear of the court house. A
committee will be appointed to nivesti-
gate the matter.
The directors are understood to be
against any such move as it pointed
out the Farm Bureau is one of the
most frequented sopts in the court
house.
Figures were given out this morning
to show that last year 1862 persons
called at the office with errands of
various kinds and this year thus far
greater number than this have call
ed. Each of these persons, busy far
mer, farm bureau officers believe has
not the time to hunt up the bureau
in an inaccessible location to make
his wants known.
Whether any official protest will
be made to the supervisors rests with
the farm bureau directorate.

newspapers were handled by special
cars, and daily during the break in
train service films for the valley pic
ture houses were carried in by spe-
cial cars. Messages, parcels, and
other articles were carried iwth
prompitude, and in all ways the stage

BY Ell CENTRO FINNY
HUNTERS ACROSS BAY

Twenty yellowtail, two bonita and
two bass, landed in two hours time
is one of the many interesting catches
made so far this week with trolling
lines off Coronado. Bert Evans and
Howard Stephens of Ell Centro~ were
the anglers to make the above catch
yesterday afternoon, they repocting
that yellowtail were running wild"
While the getting of bites were far
from difficult, Evans and Stephens
say that the landing of the big finny
scrappers was far from easy, as the
fish have doned their war paint and
will not give up without hard fight
Andrews says that rod and reels fish
ing "outside" is not at it's best right
now, as sardines are about all that is
being caught; trolling with bone jig
is the big sport, Evans and Steph-
ems catch evidencing this fact.

Have just read your message of

cept Brown. District has never been
informed or invited to attend Mead

if Mead has anything to present that
he should visit Ell Centre and that
any ideas that he now has are un-
necessary detail at this time.
Individually members of Beard want
no delay on passage of Bill. District
is certainly behind HR Sixty forty

SUPERVISORS
REFUSE MEAD
REQUEST FOR
CONFERENCE
Valley Awakes to Action of
Mead in Delaying Report
ing Out of Canal Bill; N
Rose Sounds Warning;
Called Theoretical Social
list.

Branding the action of DIR. El-
wood Mead in requesting a delay
in action on the Kettner bill in no
uncertain terms, Mark Rose in q
telegram to the Irrigation District
has appealed for quick action on
the part of the valley in defeat
ing any delay in the reporting
out of the bill.
In his telegram Mr.. Rose by in.
ference refers to Mr.. Mead as "ser-
want of the Mexican crowd" and asks
if the district is going to deal with a
'"bunch of theoretical Socialists Of the
Mead type"
DR.. Mead's proposed conference in
Berkeley, October 1st, received it's
first setback today when the board
of supervisors made public action TAX
en- by them in refusing to appoint a
delegate to the conference. The
board felt that the situation was be-
ing handled admirably at present and
refused to participate in the Mead
conference.
The Irrigation district knows moth
ing officially about the proposed con-
ference.
The substance of Mark Roses tele-
gram is as follows:
"Kincaid informed me this morn
ing he has received a telegram from
Mead requesting further action on
the bill be delayed until after confer
ence with Imperial valley people to
be held in Berkeley mkt month I
cannot believe this. Such delays as
have been going on through requests
from different factions which in real
ity are servants of the Mexican crowd
are crimes against the people of I'm
perial valley
81 believe it is time that an end
should be put to this method Of de-
lay and that the district should wire
the committee in time to reach the
committee tomorrow by 10 am protest.
ng against these underhanded methods
and urging immediate action on the
bill. Wire me if the district is still
behind their resolution indorsing H.
r. 644 and are still crowding the bill
in its present form or are going to
start in dickering with bunch of
theoretical Socialists of the Mead
type which policy would only result
in defeat of the bill.
81 cannot believe but that the in
formation wired to the committee by
Mead is false but of course the peo-
pie there are the only ones in posi-
tion to serve notice to this effect upon
the committee.
IL have canvassed committee again
and am sure bill would be reported
out at once if it was not for such mis-
representations as l believe Mead's
to be-
