LNTER-POSf COUNCIL :
ADOPTS RESOLUTION

Whereas, There is an effort being
made by Mark Rose as representa-
tive of the Imperial Laguna Water
company, to secure preferential rights
to twenty thousand (20,00O) acres of
land on the East side mesa of the I'M
perial Valley; and,
Whereas, Said Imeprial Laguna
Water company is not now and never
has been entitled to such preferen-
tial right; and
Whereas, Such preferential rights
if allowed would defeat the primary
objects of the amended Kettner bill,
in granting preferential rights to the
State of California, and to eX-ser-
vice men of the United States to such
lands; now, therefore, be it
Resolved BY the Inter-Post Coun-
ell of the American Legion of I'M
perial County that we are ualterably
opposed to the grant to any person OF
organization, except the State of Cali
for and the ex-service men of the
United States, such preferential right
to any land south of the Third STAN
dard Parallel on the Eastside mesa of
the Imperial Valley; be it further
Resolved, That this resolution be
spread upon the minutes of this meet
ing, and that a cop thereof be for
warded to the press of Imperial Coun-
ty, the California representatives in
congress, the representatives of the
Irrigation District in Washington,
Mark Rose, the National executive
committee of the American Legion,
the arid lands committee in congress,
the Irrigation District directors of
Imperial Valley, the secretary of the
interior, the All-American Canal
association and the various posts of
the American Legion in Imperial
County.
The above resolution was adopted
at meeting of the lnter-Post Coun-
Gil of Imperial County, held the 2Sth
day of December, 1919, at the court

TEAM
ANXIOUS TO TRAIN
HERE NEXT SPRING

Word was received by Harry Hart,
manager of the El Centre baseball team
today, from the secretary of the Port
land Baseball Association, that that
team is seriously contemplating doing
their spring training in the Imperial
valley and if suitable arrangements can
be made, will make Ell Centre their
home during that time.
The letter also stated that the winter
league in this locality has attracted
much attention in the northern cities
and the Imperial Valley League is fast
making name for itself.
The class of ball played here can
easily be compared with the coast
league teams" said Manager Hart and
it will only be a matter of time when
the winter leagua here will receive the
same attention all over the country"
If the deal is put through the Portland
temn win pisss exhibition games
throughout the Valley, and all the
money made will be turned over to the
Valley team.
This is a chance of life time said
/, Harry who is hoping that the business
men of El Centre will back him in his
effort to bring the visitors here.

LOCALS TAKE
FAST CONTEST

Having nothing else to do, the Vam-
pires journeyed east and took on the
newly organized Holtville nine for a lit
tie game of baseball yesterday after
noon. The score was 5 to 2, in favor
of the local outfit.
The game was q fast one and q scrap
from the start, and if the boys from the
fiesta city show the same speed during
the rest of the season there is a chance
to gain entranc to the winter league in
the near future.
Rosenquist pitched for the Ell Centre
team on the sandlor.
Speaking of sandlots, none of them
have anything on the Holtville diamond
when it comes to the knee deep DESERT
the locals said. A ball hit to the infield
was dead long before it left the bat,
and man running the bases lost his
shoes in his tracks.
Nevertheless Holtville played a fine
game and deserve more than honorable
mention for their showing against the
local team.
Manager Woodland has charge of the
men from the other side of the Valley
land has assured Harry Hart that he
will bring his team to El Centre soon.

Harry Owens, in charge of the

remarked, "While l cannot say that
1919 has been the best year of this

here in the city have found the past
year the best they have experienced.

and while the boks may show large
increase over any previous year, it
does not necessarily mean that the
profits have been greater"
Like Mr.. Anderson he states that the
war held up the building activities and
even after the war, people hesitated
about building, thinking that the
prices were soon to drop, but upon
learning that the present market
price was solid, building reopened
with a boom.

Ogy was tried this morning when
200 prisoners were forced to wit
ness the hanging of Raffalo Dur
rage, convicted of murder.
Hardened criminals were placed in
cells surrounding the square in which
the scaffold had been erected.
1t was the contention of Sheriff Pet
ers that to witness the hanging would
have salutory effect on those nj whose
lives might come future temptation.
AS the moose was slipped over Dur
ranges neck, from one of the gestiers
came a strident shout, when do we
eat"
Tier by tier, cell by cell, the cry was
taken up. 1t became roar above
which the wardens voice could not be
heard.

requiem.
Sheriff Peters later issued statement
answerin ghis critics who opposed his
action in permitting the prisoners in
the Jail to witness the hanging as an OBJ
ject lesson. He said
"Reformers are constantly advocating
the enactment of laws for the purpose
of alleviating the punishment of Grim
inals forgetting that law abiding and
peaceable citizens are entitled to as
much protection as these human para
sites. If half of the energy now spent
in sympathy on murderers and crim-
nails would be devoted to families of the
victims and the other half to bringing
to justice the brutes who blotted out the
lives of law abiding citizens this would
be happier and safer world to live in"
