Frizzell Sues Bicknell to Re-
cover for Explosions Along
Highway

Dynamite as a diet for cattle is
not wholesome. This is indicated in
a suit filed in the district court
Wednesday by F. M. Frizzell of
Grangeville, against C. A. Bicknell
and R. F. Biclhell, co-partners, in
construction of the North and South
highway, seeking damages in the sum
of $2110. OF this sum, the plaintiff
seeks to recover 500 because, it
is alleged, his cattle ate dynamite,
and afterward two of them died.
The complaint does not make clear
whether the dynamite exploded in
one or the other of the two stomachs
of each animal, and blew the cattle lit
orally to pieces, or whether they died
from poisoning. But at any rate, the
bovine appetite. for high explosives
did not prove advantageous either to
the cattle or their owner, for the
complaint alleges that two of them
died and another was taken sick.
While the tonic might have been an
it wasn't nutritious, judg-
ing from the complaint.

HIGH VALUATIONS
MAY BE RECTIFIED

Excessive and discriminatory valu-
ations on city property will in al
probability be brought before the
supervisors at their next meeting
The discrimination between city and
county valuations is so marked that
Supervisor Brooks has requested
more facts in order that he may be
fully cognizant with the situation.
Owners of property in Ell Centre
are careful to explain that they are
not complaining of high taxes, be-
cause ImperiaPs taxes rank second
lowest in the state in report re-
Gently prepared by the state comp
troller, but they do emphatically
protest over valuations which are ex-
cessive and charge discrimination
when the county valuation is in some
instances four times as high as the
city and in many cases twice and
three times as high.
They point out that Calexico, with
a supposed larger business district
than Ell Centre, newer buildings, and
a population the largest in the valley
has an assessed valuation, including
property, improvements and all per.
sonal against the realty Of 81 ,665, ,683
while the same classification in E
Centro brings total of $6,006,59t
or over million and third exces!

BOULDER DAM

DISTRICT
Meeting at Eastside Farm
Center Brings Out Inter-
esting Facts and Figures;
CrOnhOlm, NickersOn and
Rose Favor Plan. Y

The urgent need of drainage in
the Imperial Valley at present to-
gether with the necessity for con-
structiOn of the Boulder Canyon
dam, were fOrciably placed befOre
the farmers at the Eastside farm
center meeting last night when
three kig men of the Imperial
Irrigation District addressed those
present. President j. S. Nicker-
son, General Manager F. N. Cron-
holm and Mark Rose all spoke.
Farm Advisor Garthwaite gave an
illustrated lecture on drainage ir
which he presented the needs and the
harm caused by improper drainage
and flooding of the crops.
j. S. Nickerson, president of the
Imperial Irrigation District also
spoke on the Importance of the cues
tiOn. He stated that drainage sys-
TEN would protect the value of the
lands throughout the valley, that
the irrigation district is doing all
within their power towards the con-
struction of proper drainage systems
stated Mr.. Nickerson, is shown by the
SiiOiO0Sh illNCStlS dtlOu pClllS SStl leu
out by the. district now.
The Boulder Dam site was explain
ed to the farm center and the sup
port of the ranchers sought.
"The very life of Imperial Valley
is dependent upon the construction
of the DAM" he said. "The all-Amer-
lean canal is useless without the dam
and should the plans for the con,
struction of an all-American canal
be carried out, the Boulder dam site
would necessarily have to be put in
to operation before work could pro-
gress on the canal"
Daring his talk Mr.. Nickersor
warned against lending any encour-
agement to the plans of storing
water in Mexico.
Along the lines of the all-Americar
canal President Nickerson stated
that within a few years the income
from the power plant would be more
than enough to pay the annual main
tenance charges of the all-Americarl
canal.
Following President Nickerson F
N. Cronholm, manager of the I'M
perial Irrigation district spoke.
He said, ''The total cost of the
Boulder Canyon dam, the power plant
and the transmission lines will be
about 100000. The estimated an
nual net income from the sales OF
power alone will amount to about
$11 900 ,000," thus he surmised withir
four or five years the revenue from
the power alone. without the sale OF
the water, would pay fer the origina
cost of the dam.
He severely attacked the Volcano
Lake storage plan, because of the tre
mendous annual expense for the up
keep of levees and by comparison
showed the advantages of the Boul
der dam site.
He again brought to the attention
of the meeting the large amount O.
money the irrigation district wa
