ment l of the Superior court before
Judge Franklin J. Cole today. in

Cotton Market Is
More Interesting

Valley growers are renewing theil
interest in the cotton market as the
new season advances, and there are
number of features of the situation
that are encouraging for the growers
After a drop of several points, the
market again advanced the latter half
Of the week.
Weather conditions in the South
and the small acreage due to the
labor shortage, with improved ex-
change and shipping arrangements is
helping the price upward. Extensive
labor disturbances in the eastern
mills. where thousands of workers are
on strike, is somewhat disconcerting
but does not have serious effect on
the market.
The local labor situation is still far
from satisfactory, but Governor Cantu
is cooperating with the growers in
the effort to get good many natives
of Mexico to come to the valley, and
it is believed he will be successful
in degree in this among the residents
of the peninsula. even though the
revolution prevents getting workers
from the mainland of Mexico.

WESTS|DE MAY
QUIT DISTRICT

There is some talk to be heard that
the west side will withdraw from the
irrigation district if it finds it prac-
ticable to impound water in Volcano
lake. This policy may be followed
by the lands now above the west side
canal, and less probable is the pro-
posal for all lands west of New river
to withdraw, though all of the west
side companies have joined with the
Mexican interests in raising a fund
to pay for the preliminary survey.
The movement calls for the return
of the Colorado river to it's old chan
mel and the building of levees on the
south and east sides of the prposed
reservoir. The total expense has been
estimated at $4,000. 900.
There appears to be no disposition
anywhere to oppose this movement
if the west side people decide that is
what they want, instead of joining
with the district in building the All
American canal, with flume or sy-
phon at CaleXico to take their water
across New river to the west side
lands.

coast flyer last week by nearly SEQ
feet. The former record stood at
1920 feet.
Z Flying with the captain were Cor
poral John Berman, Sergeant David
Hicks and Corporal w. r. Kates.
Following the announcements of the
coast flyer that he held the passenger
carrying altitude record, Captain
Smith stated that he would soon make
an attempt to break it. This morning
picking out three of his senior men
and ordering them to prepare for the
flight the captain announced that he
was ready for the attempt.
The flight was made in DeHavi-
Ian plane equipped with a Liberty
motor.
The captain was in the air hours
and 40 minutes. leaving the ground
at l1:05 and returning at 1:45.
On reaching the ground he was
asked for a statement. 1t was as
follows: "We broke something. /
don't know just what it was" In re-
gard to the climatic conditions he said,
"The wind was had at that height and
it was very cold"
Sergeant Hicks said, "All l noticed
was that my feet were cold"
81 felt my head getting little
light" was Berman's only statement.
Hates refused to say anything other
than to commend Captain Smith for
his record. He said, "I'm glad the
captain did it."
Big crowds on Ell Centro's streets
watched the captain as his plane as
cended higher and higher until it
was speck in the heavens. Finally
it disappeared entirely and was only
visible with field glasses, although It
is probable that he had been direct
ly over the city city the plane could
have been seen at all times. The
