v. |. HODGES IN
NARROW ESCAPE

Friday evening about 8 o'clock w.
L. Hodges of the Hodges Loan 4
Auto Co., while driving to Calexico,
suffered an accident that could easily
have been fatal. Had he been driv-
ing anything but strong, heavy car,
Mr.. Hodges and the car would now
both be complete wrecks.
He was driving about 30 miles an
hour along fair road, when sudden
ly a pile of cement appeared across
his path. Both service and emergen-
cy brakes were applied and the car
went head-on into 20 sacks of cement.
The cement was thrown 80 and 40
feet up the road
Mr.. Hodges has slight abrasion
over his right eye today and his new
Lincoln hardly shows the effect of
the impact.
In discussin the accident this
morning Mr.. Hodges, who is conval-
escing at the Barbara Worth, said 81
believe ! am alive today solely be-
cause the car was driving was built
to stand just such emergencies"

General Manager F. N. Cronholm
of the Irrigation District has address
ed letter to the directors Of the var
ous mutual water companies ac-
ouainting them with the difficulties
under which he is working in his ef
forts to secure permission to make
the cut from the present river to the
Pescadero. Mr.. Cronholm's letter
contains statements Of interest to
every water user and IT IS here pub
lishcd in full:
Calexico, California.
To the Individual Directors of the
Mutual Water Companies:
| wish to acquaint those members
OF the several water companies who
are not familiar with river conditions
as they now exist with the engineer
i,>g leasons that have led me to so
strongly advocate means that will
bring about early river recession.
| an taking the liberty of writing
for the one purpose of uniting as
many as possible to the SUPPORT of
the directors of the Imperial Irriga-
ton directors in their efforts to oD-
tain the nos5 immediate relief from
eXcossive dangers of river overflow.
| wish it explicitly understood that
TIE analysis have made of the prob
lem are based entirely upon the time
element. The reason for this is obvi-
Gus. No matter how much money we
may have, only given amount of
work can be done before next spring,
and, even if Immediately undertaken,
it is probematical whether partial OR
incomplete Success will obtain.
Before giving the reasons that have
led ne to believe that the river must
be turned south, | wish it understood
that no matter how far apart or how
united we may be on the All-Ameri-
can canal or the sol-called Allison
slough project or on the question of
putting the river back in its old chan
mel, such separation or union of opin-
ion has no bearing on what should
be done with the river at this time.
| say this Internationally, for | am
convinced that something must be
started that can be completed to an
extent affording relief from overflow
during the next spring flood. To &C
complish this, l have suggested cut
ting the Bee river south into the more
southern reaches of the Pescadero
river basin.

COTTON ASSN.
TO Be REVIVED

Imperial Valley Bankers will meet
in Calipatria this evening in regular
session but expect to spend most of
their time in discussion of ways
and means for bringing back to life
the cotton growers association,
which through wage suits, is practic-
ally out of business.
The new set Of officers. II. A. Has
tian( Clark Adair and I. d. Mccall
and the directors are expected to
listen sympathetically to any plan
the bankers may propose. 1t is up
to the banks and one banker thinks
possibly receivership will be the
first step.
In the meantime there is an abun-
dance of labor in the valley for the
picking of cotton and this fact is
due, according to the retiring offici-
ais, to the organization which brought
them here. The financial rocks upon
which the association landed were
there by reason of the failure to col
lect up and turn over to the terasur-
er the bale tax which had been pro-
vided. That in turn was caused large
ly by the fact that cotton went to
smash on the market.
Long staple cotton is now being
picked for four cents and short
staple at cent and half, although
fewgrower are paying two and
four cents. These figures are far be-
low the prices paid last year, in fact
the saving has been at least SIS a
bale to the growers as the result of
an ample supply of labor.

This question, should it come to a

THREATENED
To VALLEY
INDUSTRY
County Superintendent Sees
Disaster Ahead If Re-.
trenchment Extends to
Schools; Gives Figures of
Interest to County.

Destruction Cf the vegetable
industry in Imperial Valley
through the new 25 per cent
freight rate increase is threat
ened, and growers in the valley
have aroused themselves to the
seriousness CT the situation and
have asked the Associated Cham
bers of Commerce to aid them
in their fight to get just rates
and a readjustment of the pres
ent cxhCrbitant rates.
The new rates, which went into eff
feet last July, but are being felt more
keenly now because the shipping sea-
son is at hand, add on an average
500 to every carload shipped east.
In times past this has meant in many
cases the total profit to the grower.
The increase in rates, combined
with falling market in the east,
have already stopped shipments of
spinach. No shipments of spinach
are now being made, although the
steascn started out nicely, until the
shippers commenced to receive re-
turns.
1t is estimated that up to the pres
ent time 25 carloads of lettuce have
been shipped. On these it is said the
railroad company, in the shape of the
new rates, has taken all the profit.
Horticultural Commissioner F. w.
Waite said this morning: 'This 500
a car increase will mean the virtual
destruction Of the cantaloupe indus
try, for it will add $50 an acre to ev-
cry acre. of cants planted. With the
lower prices which the cantaloupes
will have to sell for, it will amount to
the entire profit on the acre. The
growers will not grow under these
conditions.
Governor Stephens has asked the
state market director to call meet
ing for Dec. 20 in San Francisco, and
the request for reduced rates will be
made at that time. In the Imperial
Valley meeting will be held Dec. 1S
at the Dunlack hotel in Brawley at
p. m. to discuss government inspec-
tion Of lettuce, and l suspect that
thwese high rates will come in for
their share of the discussion"
Mr.. Waite is very much purturbed
at the seriousness Of tht situation.
c. w. Runge, district freight and
passenger agent for the Southern Pa
cific, says: "There is no hard and
fast rule that the 25 per cent raise in
freight rates should apply to every
thing. When these rates were grant
ed there were clauses inserted to take
care of any such contingencies as
have arisen here, and l would suggest
that protest be filed with me, which
will include costs of growing, pack
ing, etc, and l will send it to San
Francisco. If the Southern Pacific
does not make the adjustment desired
the shippers can appeal to the inter.
state commerce commission.
GAS | said before, there is no SET
rule that these rates must apply and
if it can be shown that the rates are
unjust, l am satisfied that different
rates will be placed in effect"
The various chambers of commerce
in the valley will be asked to help ir
the fight. The Brawley chamber has
already gone on record asking for &
readjustment, and the .Associatai
Chambers is expected to get be-
hind it.

ent improvement which has taken
place in the past 20 years. Where
ever one goes he sees modern school
plants, the result of the progressive
spirit of the people of this valley.
The people voted the bonds, the peo-
pie are paying for these and are being
taxed for it. The buildings are an
asset and the Investments should be
considered as such. In the past ten
years, according to the last census,
the population of the valley has in
creased 219.2 per cent and in order to
take care of the growing schools, new
building have been erectde, almost as
fast as NV bonds could be voted.
SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS
'1n most cases bond issues have
been a necessity, provided, of course
that the schools kept pace with the
growing community. There is a
crisis in education, which MS not real
lied generally in the Imperial Valley,
because of the better salaries paid
the instructors. A recent report of
United States Commissioner of Edu-
cation Claxton showed that between
$4,000 and 10000 schools We're with
out teachers in the United States
and $4,000 schools supplied with tenn
porary "makeshift" eachers. More
than 100000 teachers are now teach
ing with less than the required min
imum standard of qualifications, but
none of these are in the Imperial
Valley. The obvious reason for this
is the better salary that is being
paid here"
At the present time, when the pop
ular thing is to talk retrenchment,
Mr.. Enyeart asserts that retrencn-
men along school lines is filled with
disaster to the schools. From the
economic stanpoint alone education is
the nations bulwark. 1t is a finan-
cial investment that yields the highest
dividends"

trict that he will not be a candidate
for reelection to the district board
has brought out the announcement of
C. W. Brockman, former director,
who resigned with the remainder of
the board when under fire several
years ago.
Brockman is hostile to the present
policy of the board and will undoubt-

supporters.
Should Brockman be elected there
will be more friction on the board
than has been the case, it is believed
as Mr.. Edmunds, although not always
