Silver and Gold More in Favor
Than Ever Before.
Growing Trend Toward Glitter
Reaches Fuller Expression Than
In the Past.

The first formal functions of the
winter season are bringing out all
sorts Of new creations and ideas In
the way of dress up" dresses. And
1t does seem as though this season Is
presenting more opportunity for the
display of this sort of attire than has
any season for many years.
Silver and gold for evening clothes
are possibly more In favor than ever
before. This trend toward glitter has
keen growing, but this season II has
reached fuller expression, II seems,
than in the past. Not only are cloths
Ct silver and gold prominently to be
noted. but there are gold and silver
iaces on almost every new evening
gown. Sometimes there are only lit
tie spots of this material used, more
as an accent; then, again, there are
whole wide capes that swing over one
side and completely veil the whole Of
that portion of the garment. Again.
there are skirts Of the metal-em-
broidered laces with little fitted bod
Ices of a mere strip of velvet or satin
or taffeta to complete the symphony.
Net embroidered in silver and net EN-
broidered in gold are favorite sorts
OF handmade laces which again and
again make their appearance on the
newest Of evening gowns. And then
there are the silver and gold emf
broideries applied straight to the ma
terials from which the gowns are
made. They are particularly effec-
tive when stitched to velvet. for then

CONFERENCE
PROLONGED,
RESUL IS
SECRET
Head of Taxpayers Associa-
tiOn Outlines Plans for
Future; Big Drive Com
ing Next Week; Hope to
Enlist Aid of 1000.

So important has the conference
between the Mexican government,
the Imperial Irrigation District
and the Colorado River Land and
Cattle Company developed that
the entire Imperial Valley dele
CATION remained in Los Angeles
last night and the sessions have
been continued today.
Long session yesterday left many
of the problems unsolved and the
sessions today are expected to result
in some definite agreements, just
what no one not actually attending
them will venture to say at this time.
The fact that the sessions wei,
contipued today was indicative to
many that the conference had not
failed to reach an agreement, but that
it would require more time. Some
took distinct hope that the water
question may be settled insofar as
water rentals below the line are con-
cerned.
This is the first time that the three
elements have ever met in conference
and it is expected that decisions OF
the utmost Importance will be arrived
at.
Imperial Valley is eagerly awaiting
word from the council chambers in
Los Angeles as to what is being ac-
complished.

I AXP A YERS
NOT AFTER
MUTUALs,
VARNEY
Entire Imperial Valley Dele
cation Stays Over in Los
Angeles and Additional
Sessions Are Held Today;
No Results Given Out.

The Taxpayers Association
will not take action through its
executive committee for tine elm
inatiOn of the mutual water COM
panies in Imperial county," said
George Varney, president of the
association this morning when
interviewed by representative
of the Imperial Valley Press.
He at the same time outlined many
of the plans that will be considered
by the organization in the near future,
including general investigation of
the county expenditures, the double
assessment system of the county and
wait" upon the board of supervisors
in order that matters brought before
the board by individuals for a per-
sonal gain may be cutailed by the
voice of those who will eventually
have to pay the bill, the taxpayers.
1t was quoted in a valley paper and
also in Los Angeles paper that the
taxpayers were intending to take
action opposing the mutual water COM
panies. Mr.. Varney staetd that the
articlse were erroneous and that the
matter has never been contemplated
by the executive committee. Mr..
Varney stated however that the men,
bers were asked at recent meeting
to suggest subjects that might be of
Importance to the taxpayers and ut
this time the subject of the elinina-
ton of the water companies was sug-
gested but the matter was taken up
no further and from all evidence it
will not be.
In regard to the sheriff's office
Mr.. Varney sated also that he per-
sonally believed that the salary of
the sheriff was not too high nor was
S100 month too much for the ex-
penses and upkeep of the automobile
owned by Sheriff Applestill
A membership drive will be con-
Quoted throughout the valley led by
Mr.. Varney on Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday of next week. According
to Mr.. Varney there are some 20U
present time and it is hoped that
members in the association at the
this number will be swelled to 1000
by the close of the drive. The $500
collected for membership, said Mr.
Varney will be used for the hiring Of
a secretary and for stationery and in
cidentals "There are 1000 taxpay-
ers in Imperial county," said Mr..
Varney, land | see no reason why we
cannot recruit at least 2,000."S
In speaking of the reorganization
of the system of assessments, which
according to the president, is the
most important work before the asso-
citation at the present time, Mr.. Var
ney cited the Los Angeles method of
collecting taxes, that of allowing the
county to collect it all and apportion
to the respective cities their allot-
ments. This manner, he said, would
save the county of Imperial $4,000
year.
A committee has been appointed to
interview Frank Beal, assemblyman
from this district, in regard to Sc
curing state legislation, granting I'M
perial county the right to do this. This
body was to have seen Mr.. Beal last
night. They have not yet reported
to the executive committee.

WEEKLY ALFALFA
MARKET LETTER
The weekly alfalfa market lette

The weekly alfalfa market letter
is as follows:
The threatened importation of Ne
vada hay has started and as a conse-
quence our San Francisco quotations
have been knocked sky high. Three
weeks ago California alfalfa was sell
ing for $25.OO, in San Francisco; to-
day this same hay will only bring $2G
a ton.
The market in Los Angeles is
slightly better, but nothing to brag
about at that, we naturally expect 9
falling off of sales during the holiday
season and try to prepare for it, but
the "best laid plans of mice and men
aft gang aglee."
Last year at this time there were
60 or 70 cars of hay day being re-
ceived in Los Angeles and about the
same amount this year, that means
about 500 tons of alfalfa a day or
10000 tons month.
Our average feeding in Southern
California is about 5000 tons pei
month, so you can see it is difficult
for the hay dealer to stand the strain
We have about enough alfalfa in Cal.
ifornia to feed California dairies and
beef producers and my suggestion to
the dairymen and beef raisers is buy
California alfalfa.
Most of the alfalfa in California
this winter is in the hands of the
farmers who are learning to distrib-
ute their product evenly throughout
the year and by so doing stabilize
prices which means much to the con,
sumner.
A season of low prices in Califor-
MIA will mean the plowing under OF
alfalfa and consequent raise il
price of imported hay which in turr
will decrease your profit in milk OF
beef. 1t is to your interest Mr.. Dairy
man to see that the California pro
ducer of alfalfa in California stays il
business.
There We're $50 tons received oil
the tracks in Los Angeles the weel
ending December 25, with 200 ton,

Ten Cinnamon and -Four
Negroes Arrested in Two
Large Cars; Officers Use
Sharp Tongues to Stop
Fleeing Fugitives.

The biggest roundup of snug
glers in months took place yes
terday when II men and one
woman were placed under arrest
by Custom Inspectors Clare,
Humphrey and Al Schlanze. They
were booked at the county Jail
pending arraignment before Com
missioner X. B. Whitelaw tOmOr-
row.
Inspectors Clare and Humphrey are
credited with the largest catch which
netted Ia men, four negroes and 10
Chinese. They We're arrested at
Kane Springs about 10 o'clock last
night rapidly making their way to
Los Angeles, where it is alleged the
colored were to receive 5000 piece
for the delivery of the Cinnamon.
Only one of the Asiatics was able to
speak English and according to In
spector Clare, it was his belief that
this man was the "fence" and re-
sponsible for the bringing of the
other nine men. ''In every CATCH"
said Clare, eve have always found one
man was able to speak English and
he is always proved to be the
leader of the gang. He aranges the
men on the American side of the line
and then secures the Chinese on the
Mexican side. This man, it has been
said, gets cut from the Chinese for
gaining passage for hem and also
receives pay from the men engaged
in smuggling"
A colored man, who gave his name
as Harris Pearson, 35 years old, con-
fessed to Clare hat he is the ring
leader of the smuggling plot operat-
ing at this end, but stated that men
at the other end, meaning Los An
geles were over him.
Two high powered cars belonging
to Pearson were confiscated by the
authorities when the men We're turned
over to Sheriff Applestill.
1t was necessary to handcuff Pear
son with H. B. Thomas, another SNUG
gler after the two men attempted to
escape following their arrest. When
told to stop by the officers Pearson
jumped from the car making dash
for the woods close by. When asked
if any shots were fired, Clare replied
"No, it wasn't necessary, just cussed
him out and he stopped"
