Running on platform of first,
last and all the time for the All-Amer-
ican canal, and opposed to the con-
struction of what Mark says is the
Mexican" leg, Mark Rose will be
elected to the directorate of the r.
rigation District today by the
as he is the only candidate thus far
and even if other names are on the
ballot it would be hard job to defeat
Rose.
OUTLINES PLATFORM
Marks platform in full as he has
stated it, is as follows:
Il shall do everything in my power
to bring about the construction of the
All American canal, which is un-
doubtedly the will Of the people of
Imperial Valley, as shown by the
election held in January, 1918 and
will oppose the submission Of the
Mexican leg, excepting that it be sub
united Jointly with the $50 100000
bond proposition for the construction
of the All-American canal.
"My personal idea and what / shall
work for, if elected on the board, will
be to get the outside lands organized
into a separate district by themselves
that is the entire 100000 acres, which
is irrigable by gravity from an All
American canal, so that it may vote
it's own bonds for its portion of the
canal, and have the bonds filed with
the Irrigation District as guarantee
that they will pay their portion OF
the cost of its construction, retaining
all power in the canal.
GAS to the cost of the All-Americar
canal, there is a gerat deal that car
be said, but there are few points
that will call your attention to:
"First-The cost per acre is abou
one years rent per acre IN the I'M
perial Valley.
"Second-That the price of land!
in the Yuma and Salt River Valley:
are more than double that of the I'M
peral Valley, Notwithstanding th'
fact that the government record:
show that we produced SO per acre
more in 1918 than either of the 9th
ers. There is no reason that can b'
assigned for this difference in value
except that both of the above namet
valleys have permanent water sup
ply and a diversory works entirel.

capacity, over 10000 water horse
power and at it's low use, over 10000
water horse power. If you take the
minimum power and sell it at S10O
per horsepower per annum, and that
is an exceedingly low rate, it would
bring revenue of S3,G00,000 per year
which in about Is years would pay for
the All-American canal entirely, prin-
cipal and interest At the end of
that time it would leave the Imperial
Valley with power assets worth S75,-

which would pay every dollar of eX-
pense Of operating our entire water
system, and allow farmers of the
valley to receive free water

more direct road to receivership than
the policy which the Imperial Irriga-
ton district has been pursuing in the

CHINESE PROVINCE
IS BANDIT RIDDEN
fBy Associated Press

SHANGHAI, May Z. = Szechuen,
most populous of China's provinces
with extensive and varied resources
and almost unlimited areas of soil of
the greatest productivity. is bandit
ridden and is torn with the strife of
FIVE opposing governing factions that
seemingly are beyond the control of
the Canton government to which
Szechuen is supposed to pay allegi-
ance. This is the report brought to
Shanghai by foreigners who have re-
Gently been travelling in the province.
The country along all the main
highways, according tolthese reports,
is overrun with bands of armed out
laws and it is only possible for the
foreigner to travel these by-ways in
any degree of saftey by first buying
protection and immunity from moles.
tation from bandit leaders who control
the various areas. When the traveller
asks for an armed guard this is pro-
vided-for consideration. This
guard must be changed when the
traveller enters the area controlled
by another military official.
BY following this procedure, travel
ers from the province say, the way
farer is ordinarily safe, but it happens
sometimes that the spheres of control
of the leaders overlap and travellers
who have bought protection in one
area are at times attacked by bandits
whose leaders have not been appeas-
ed.
The consideration requi r e d @
provide guard for traveller is not
particularly heavy, as it is said to
be about so cents day per guard
Ordinarily travellers who do fall into
the hands of outlaws do not suffer
bodily harm, but it is not uncommon
for native servants to be murdered

GAS COMPANY WANTS
TO QUIT ON MAY 81

great increase in the price of labor,
material and oil, it finds it impossible

the Imperial Valley Gas company,
which sells gas to the cities of Ell Cen

the railroad commission for an order
fixing a date on which it may clos.

that it wants to cease operations not

The company has been in the hands
