The Imperial Valley Press this
afternoon presents the first copy of
the wier contract between the I'M
perial Irrigation District and Yuma.
1t will be seen from this contract
that the District agrees to call an
election for the construction of the
first.leg before January l, 1921,
although there is nothing in the
contract to prevent for the calling
of an election for the construction
of the entire canal.
In event it carries, the district is
obligated to begin work within three
months or suffer penalty Of $500 a
day, payable to the Yuma Water
Users Association, although they are
not obligated to take it.
Concerning the weir itself, the
Yuma people can regulate the height
materials used, engineering features
and in case they see fit can take over
all construction work while the
District is obligated $24 per diem fo,
inspectors.
There are various other features
which indicate that the board wa:
forced to sign a one sided agreement
A careful pcrusal Of tho entire
contract is recommended as this con
tract will probably make history ant
be the basis Of legal trouble in cas-
there are alleged violations.

PRICES DROP
SLIGHTLY IN
PAST TWO
DAYS
New York Today is Paying
from $3.50 to $5; New
Peak Indicated within a
Few Days if Shipments
Increase.

Shipments of 1920 Imperial
Valley cantalOupes today passed
the 5000 carload mark and began
q new movement which may estab-
lish new peak.
The surprising reversal in the
number of cars shipped week ago
and today when estimated shipments
of 800 carloads would be made, has
astOnished even the most optimistic
shipper. When they are asked what
is coming next now the answer is Il
don't know" this present season has
furnished such a variety OF unforeseen
changes.
Shipments Monday totaled 24O scar,
loads; yesterday they crept higher
and 288 cars were shipped out and
today the outlook is good that yester-
days mark will be eqtialled or beaten.
The high mark for the season here
tofore has been 81 and but a. few
more cars are needed to establish a
new peak for this year. ...i. ,ssl
Shipments to and including June 22
this year number 5,018 carloads as
compared with similar shipments last
year of 5,553. Shipments last year on
the same date numbered 228 carloads
and the peak of the shipping season
was well past. ~ s ssa-@ ., :.
With the shipping graph rising
again there are optimists who predict
that last years heavy shipments will
be topped. They base this prediction
on the heavy late acreage.
Prices received are slightly less than
the prevailing market of a week ago.
The prices in New York today were
$3.50 and as low as 81 for standards
In Chicago the price was lower rang
ing between $3.50 and S4 while II
other large consuming centers similar
prices prevailed. 1-
Although shipments this year are
approximately 500 carloads behind
last years shipments but with the in.
creasing shipments the total Will
easily be reached and passed.

The chance to win has given new
aspect at once to everything here at
