WARREN|TE ROAD
ORDERED IN TEST
Several Test Strips to be Con-
structed in Imperial County,
Highway Commission and
Board of Supervisors Decide.

Following the rejection of all bids
for paving of county highways, de-
cision by the board of supervisors and
the county highway commission was
to construct several test strips of high
way.
Although it was thought necessary
to do this in order to ascertain the
cost as far as it can be learned, only
Warrenite is being constructed, the
highway commission evidently not
caring to know what concrete costs,
even though the concrete bidder was
lowest at the last call for bids.
Highway Commissioner Fred S.
Lack says: 'Trere will be two or more
short strips of highway laid in the
county at once, with the special con-
sideration in view of ascertaining just
how much the roads will cost per
mile. After the cost is ascertained it
will be used as basis for future con-
tract work"
"The bids were unreasonably high"
Supervisor j. Roy Adams explained
today.
"We instructed the county highway
commission. he continued, ito pro-
ceed to install culverts on the roads
over which routes have been accepted,
and also TO report at the next meeting
, on an arrangement to construct few
miles of black-base pavement from the
, city limits of Holtville 20 Imperial. !"

LEX|E IS REFUSED
State of Kentucky Declines to

$1,000 Check on Local Bank.

The state of Kentucky has refused
to honor the extradition papers issued

this state for the arrest of Lexie
Tweed, charged with cashing worth
less check on the First National bank
of Ell Centro for $1,000 some months

Kentucky a minor cannot be guilty of
forgery or, in others words. according
to Sheriff Applestill, cannot be guilty
of committing felony. And Mrs. Kate
Oldham who made the trip east after
the girl is returning to this city with

The girl has been turned loose but
is still staying within the bounds OF

DAN CUPID AFTER PRINCE

little mishchief maker who plays so
many whimsical tricks on man, is
rumored to be in San Diego among
the distinguished persons gathered
here to welcome the Prince of Wales.
A reporter, warned of Cupid's coming,

in hopes that his apprehension might
furnish clew to the whereabouts of
Miss Geraltine Graham, Montecito
heiress.
Miss Graham, according to report,
is engaged to marry his royal high
ness, the Prince Of Wales. Details
are lacking as it to be expected when
so important match is in prospect.

Opinion as to Permission to

. Given This Afternoon; u.
S. r. S. Director May

State Engineer Mcclure is expect
ed to give his opinion to the district
beard of the Imperial Irrigation dis
trict this afternoon regarding the
proposed $6,OO0,O0O bond issue to
construct the first leg of the ALL
American canal.
At a special meeting of the board
this morning the problem was taken
up but as it developed Mr.. Mcclure
had not received the data sent him to
Sacramento by the district before he
left for his trip here, duplicates were
placed in his hands and early this
afternoon he was studying them in
tently.
Consulting Engineer c. E. Grunsky
made the trip to the valley with Mr..
Mcclure and met with the board.
Immediately following the informal
conference with Mr.. Mcclure the board
took up the problem of the wier in the
Colorado river. The. question was
gone into from all possible angles, but
at the conclusion no decision Of the
board was made public.
1t developed during the course of
the talk that the board has requested
Director A. p Davis of the United
States reclamation service to make the
trip to Yuma and the valley in order
that he may be thoroughly familiar
with the actual river problems as they
exist today.
1t is felt that if he made trip the
problem could be amicably adjusted
along such lines as he might suggest.
The board also discussed the pro-
posed trip to Yuma after the bond
election has been called but it was
decided to do nothing until this decision
has been definitely made.

pains to conceal their identity from
the reportorial seeker for news. A
canvass of the hotels and careful
perusal of the registers thereof have
failed to bring Miss Graham and he,
mother into the journalistic limelight
Perhaps that-alone is what she is
seeking. The feminine instinct to
shine forth brilliantly to dazzle the
public eye is second alone to her
male contemporary. On the other
hand modest yet withal ambitious
love may actuate Miss Graham
Perhaps the prince reciprocates her
affection in kind and is anxious for
the ceremony of welcome to be
through with that he may seek the
comfort and stimulus awaiting him
in the arms of his potential princess
Who knows? But perhaps the real
story may be known when Miss
Graham is located.
