MOTORISTS ROUSED
AT TRUCK DRIVERS

The motorists of Imperial Valley
are gradually becoming aroused over
the way that truck drivers drive over
the grade in the mountains. 1t has
been very noticeable to those driving
that there will have to be some regu-
lations carried out to remedy this
danger.
Sunday there were three of four
cars badly scraped by hitting trucks
and one of them was almost pushed
off the grade. There is law COM
pelling all of the slower motor We
hicles to keep to the right and allow
the faster ones to pass. But it is prac-
tically impossible to pass a truck on
the Mountain Spring grade.
In one place Sunday there were at
least 20 cars lined up behind one
truck because the driver would not
turn out and let them pass. 1t is very
important that this be investigated
and remedied before some accident
does occur.

TRUTH NOT TOLD

John S. LoOfbourow, of the Imperial
Irrigation District, who returned from
Los Angeles this morning states that
the reports coming out of Los Angeles
in regard to the severity Of the earth
quake there are very light and that
the whole truth is not being told.
Mr.. Loofbourow went through the
quake early last evening and he states
that it was exceptionally hard, much
harder than the valley has had in a
long time. Window glass in scores of
downtown stores was broken and in
fact the downtown district was a
mass Of splintered glass.
Furthermore there have been slight
quakes there for several days and
nothing got into the papers until it
was so bad they could not keep it out.
All reports have been handled very
conservatively.
This is verified by other returning
travellers. The quake was very severe
and the damage is much greater than
the first estimates.
There has been TO tremor in the
valley.

ORDER GOV. CANTU
TO MEXICO CITY2
ShOUdOlUn in Government of
LOUer California Looked for
as Result of Trip of Sr.
Almada to Mexico City.

The trip of Baldomero A. Almada,
once appointed to succeed Cantu as
governor of Lower California, to
Mexico City, has not proved fruitless.
For Cantu has been ordered it is
said to report to Mexico City within
Is days, to confer with President de
la Huerta and Governor Obregon.
AS a result, it is said. there will be
a showdown of the two aspirants to
the throne.
If Cantu refuses to go, the present
government may reappoint Almada
and give him the 5000 troops to
enforce his regime that he asks for.
Armada recently went to MeXicali,
after his appointment by President de
la Huerta, to take over the govern
ment of Lower California.
There were several days of diplo-
matte fencing, during which Cantu
failed to turn over the reins of gov
ernment. 1t ended when Almada re
turned to Los Angeles, first tele-
graphing a recommendation to the
central government that 5000 troops
be sent to Ensenada to seize the port,
and that they proceed then as necess-
Fary to enforce the DEGREES from
Mexico City Within week Almada
was called to Mexico City for the con-
ference.
With the departure of Almada from
the border, Fred Dato, brother in-law
of Cantu, declared that Cantu had
been reappointed.
Obregon's friends, on the other
hand, declare that Cantu's attitude
had been one of defiance to the
central government and that he must
be disciplined by being forced to give
up his office. The conference in
Mexico City, when completed, will
bring about the answer to the
problem.

construction of road building for the
northern district Of Lower California,
was in the city today purchasing ma
chinery for extensive road work to be
done by Gov. Cantu in Lower Califor-

miles is completed. The road will be
finished by the first of the year,

Letter Agreed to by Direct

sion; Twenty-fOur Votes
but No Adverse Decisions.

Harmony prevailed at the Imper-
ial Irrigation District offices this
morning when the directors met the
thrash out the question of he con-
ference called by Director A. p.
Davis of the reclamation service.
The directors framed letter which
will be mailed today which accept Mr.
Davis invitation.
In the first part of the letter the
exact status of the conference as un-
derstood by the district is defined. This
is taken to mean that it is a meeting
called for the purpose of assisting Mr..
Davis and not for the purpose Of vot-
ing on questions which the Imperial
Valley reserves the right to make the
decision on.
The sounding of the delegates
was then recounted, the district be-
lieving the status to be as follows:
District, 5; American. Legion, 5; Goa
chella Water District, 3; State of Cal
ifornia. Southern Pacific Land Com
pany, West Side Imperial Irrigation
District, Yuma Water Users Associa-
tion, Palo Verde Valley, Los Angeles,
San Diego, League of the Southwest,
one each and the California Mexico
Land company, 2.
The district then suggested that in
asmuch as there was no particular
reason why the city of Los Angeles
should be invited that the city of San
Diego and the League of the South
west should also be invited.
The district stated that inasmuch
as the district has accepted the offer
of the San Diego Chamber of Com
merce to hold the meeting in San
Diego that it is hoped this plan will
be acceptable to the reclamation serv-
ice. f.,,-
The directors took up various other
matters.
The dredge Ell Centre. which has
not been in use for months, was sunk
some time early Saturday morning,
probably by a tree stoving a hole in
the bottom. No attempt will be made
to raise it.
