The situation has been complicated
by an onniuncement Of the Minister
of the interior published in the Sc
culo that the government has become
aware Of the bolshevist plot to pro-
woke disturbances all over Portugal,
so as to lead up to general move
ment later. The Minister made it
known that the government had taken
precautions to frustrate those plans.
There have been severe conflicts at
Santarem, Setubal and in other parts
Of the country where stores have been
looted and emptied Of their contents.
The military authorities assumed con-
troll in Santarem and order was re-
stored but subsequently fish riot oc-
CURED. the Santarem fish market was
attacked by a mob which seized the
fish and divided it among themselves.
Dry cod formerly was the chief and
favorite food Of the people but is now
so expensive that only the well-to-do
can afford it. One shopkeeper ap-
pcased the mob by distributing his
supply Of cod fish and thus was al
lowed to retain his other wares.
The seriousness Of the shortage of
| food and fuel has been emphasized by
& statement Of Premier Granjo made
in Parliament in which he said that
there was lack not only of coal
Imperial Valley press., 1920-09-16

and provisions but of all othtr articles
Indispensable for living. Since there
was only 10000 tons of sugar to sup
ply the country, the government was
going to prohibit it's sale in restau-
rants and pastry shops so that the
hospitals of Portugal might not run
short.
Butter, lard, coal, oil and even
vegetables have disappeared from the
market since government prices were
fixed for these articles" said the Pre-
mier "Thc bread question is even
more desperate than the others. The
wheat in this country will bearly suf-
flee to supply bread for the next five
days. Wreat contracts are being
closed by the government at a very
high price. The maize harvest is so
bad that we have already imported
1OC 900 tons Of it. There is not coal
in the citv of Lisbon, where the poor
are tearing up their floors to cook
their food and the foreign coal is
sold at such an exorbitant price that
it does not even allow our fishing
vessels to go to sea for fish"
In view of this crisis, the Premier
appealed to Parliament for aid anc
efforts are being made to obtalr
wheat from the big farmers in the
Ribateio district.

DISTRICT BOARD
SETS TAX LEVY

Decision of the board of directors
of the Imperial Irrigation District to
clear up all Indebtedness with one
levy in place of gradually clearing up
the Indebtedness over "a period OF
years, yesterday afternoon resulted
in a tax levy of $3.50 per acre being
set yesterday afternoon.
Although it appears high, the direc-
tors resolved to place the district on a
business footing and keep it there
and reasoned that inasmuch as the
bills must be met cometime, it was
best to met them now and have the
thing settled.
A levy of this amount will raise
approximately $1,000,000, which, to-
gether with more than S2,000,000 esti-
mated water receipts and S450,0OO of
bonds which are yet to be sold, will
bring the estimated receipts to some
where the estimated expenditures,
which will be approximately $780,
900.
This latter sum, includes outstand-
ing warrants said by some to be in the
neighborhood of 100000 and others
to be close to S85O,OO0. 1t also in
cludes, roughly, S450,OOO in interest
! charges.
When it is remembered that this
tax levy is for a longer period than
year to enable the district fisca
year to begin January 1, and that il
includes all outstanding warrants, il
will be seen that this levy is tempo
rary in nature and can be materially
reduced for 1922.
Hereafter. the secolve of the boarc
| is not to run into debt, but to make
the levy high enough to pay all cists
The burget system will be used anc

THE NOISY FLICKER.
Bird Has Many Aliases-Uses Hammer
With Utmost Abandon.

When the flicker wings his way from
some lofty treetop to another the under
side of his sail looks like a reflection of
the sun, which doubtless accounts for his
popular name of golden wing" Nor
is that the only alias he bears, for many
know him as yellow hammer" or "hiRh
holder"
Anyway, he is with lis again, and that
he enjoys this masquerading under a great
variety of names is undoubtedly shown
by his incessant chuckle. He particularly
enjoys following the path which peases
him most, whether it is customary FOR
members of his family to do such things
Most woodpeckers keep to the trees, walk,
ing up and down their sides, but not SO
the flicker, as often we surprise him on
the ground
for long, as he shoots Immediately to the
highest treetop he can find and, bringing
out his tools, falls to hammering. With
animated abandon he has his will with
that tree, and there Is such drilling
and hammering as is quite deafenng. He
seems to love his occupation.
While no one could accuse him of sing.
Ing, he has several well-known notes,
added to which he beats rolling tattoo
in the spring. 1t is this sound which
comes bursting on our ears as we walk
out in the springtime, although some
times a nice little breeze takes pity on us
and only watts it to lis from afar.
But on account of his enthusiasm. his
sense of the exaggerated and his noisy
cheerfulness he is very interesting. Not
the least of his charms is jaunty patch
