M0NDELL BILL IS

The Mondell plan is stall, in the
opinion of Mark Rose, who wires as fol
Washington, D. c., Feb 26.
&C. d. Hartshorn, Ell Centro. CAL
AS l have said before, the Mondeu
bill is purely a stall coming from en-.
emies' camp. which they are now boast
ing about here. If passed it would force
at least years delay, and Valley would
probably be in worse position than now
from political standpoint and also
from water standpoint, as it would af.
ford the interest south of line another
year in which to put addition water to
beneficial use in Mexico and to build up
every possible political barrier against
the Valley being able to finance itself
1t is much better for the Valley to con-
tinue to fight for what it wants than to
make cowardly surrender to the inter.
ests at this time and that is what the in.
dorsement of the Mondell bill would be.
L have come to the conclusion and have
not jumped at it either, but come to il
from careful observation of conditions
here, that the Valley must depend upon
its own resources for any relief from
present conditions, which will grow
worse daily from now on. The Valley
and surrounding lands have but one
chance in my opinion, and that is to get
together upon some equitable basis an(
take care of themselves. The hope of
the Los Angeles Times crowd and their
allies in the Valley and elsewhere is
that there will be an admnitration
more favorable to them in twelve
months than the present administra
ton. For these reasons l do and will
oppose Mondell bill and all true friends
of the all-American canal should do
likewise as Americans"

The Colorado river reading this
morning at lockwood Gate was IS
feet, drop of more than six feet
from yesterday, indicating strong
ly that the flood stage of the river
is past.
The reading on the Volcano Lake
levee where the crest Of the river pass
ed yesterday was 4O.7. Inasmuch as
the normal in this vicinity is approx
mately SO, it indicated that there
were several feet of water standing
against the levee. The large force of
he irrigation district, employed there
at all times, was in readiness should
Indication of danger appear.
Although there has been appre-
henson in some quarters over the rise
the river and the fact that the
.argest river in years was running
;hese fears have proven unfounded il
he opinion of district officials, who
iepreciate the wild rumors which
have been afloat.
Necessarily in Mexico there has
been cause for alarm, for in some in
stances cotton lands were flooded and
IN others temporary dikes alone pre-
5enteed inundation, but there never at
any time has been any indication that
he waters would reach the American
side of the line or even injure am ir-
rlgated lands escept those in the close
vicinity of the levees.
One construction camp was hastily
moved yesterday following the small
breach in the Saz levee.
The Cudahy ranch was located near
the break. This ranch could be COM
1letely inundated and the danger of
the Valley in no way affected for it
IS located beyond d section of high
ground which is joined at an angle by
he Volcano Lake levee, which places
It without the greatest bulwark be-
;ween the river and the Valley.
The Cerr0 Prieto gate withstood
he greatest thrusts of the river.
Proper precautions were taken to en-
force the gate and protect it.
The aftermath of the flash head re-
mains to be seen. Just what it has
done to the channel cannot be deter
mined for several days. There un-
ioubtedly will be much silt along the
banks. No report on these conditions
at lockwood Gate was available this

Mr.. Waite's statement follows

In the selection of land for grow
ing Pima Egyptian cotton it might be
well to mention that alfalfa or good
grain land is suitipg to growing this
cotton. The success of growing Pima
cotton depends more on the thinning
and irrigation; much more so than
with the short staple variety.
THE first step is to plow the land
deep, excepting old alfalfa or Bermuda
grass land, which should be plowed
shallow-about four inches deep in the
early winter and later about six inches
deep. Disc considerably to break up
the soil Lands other than alfalfa or
Bermuda need but one blowing. 1t
should then be well soaked with water,
getting the water down as far as pos
sible.
''As soon as the soil will allow. run
a smoother over it and disc the soil to a
fine mulch Go over the land with a
harrow to smooth the ground. These
operations may he varied, depending on
! the kind of soil and method used in
planting. The success of a good stand

Robert James, age 19, and Clarence
Brown, 18, were arrested and taken
into custody yesterday at Indio, by
Deputy Sheriffs Freeman and Harris,
charged with robbing Andy Pruitt's

chandise, including shoes, clothing
and jewelry, most of which has been
recovered.
Word of the robbery reached the
'sheriff's office in this city few
hours after it occurred and at once the
net was thrown out in every corner,
where there was chance for the boys
to make their get away. Six hours
from the time of the robbery, the

capture.
They have confessed the officers
