Were you ever a resident of the
great state of Illinois? If so, Imperial
valley wishes you to write to one of
the congressional representatives from
that state in the interest of the Kettner
Bill, II X 1853, which is a substitute
for II r 6044. This is the bill which
provides for the construction of an All
American canal and the establishment
of a Soldier Settlement on the Eastside
Messa. Through Secretary McIver of
the Irrigation District board cam
paign is being made to influence men,
bers of congress to support and vote
for the bill, and every person who for
merly lived in Illinois is invited to get
into the game.
Illinois has 25 members of the nation
al house of representatives and if we
can secure those 25 votes we will have
done much to insure the passage of the
bill,
Congressman from that state have
great influence over their colleagues be-
cause Illinois is in a sense one of the
doubtful states which is wanted by both
the great political parties. Do not hes
itate to do what YOU can to help and
do it at once as the Kettner bill will
very soon be on the floor of the house
for consideration. If you desire infor.
nation or assistance call on Secretary
McIver at the FL Centro office of the
Irrigation district and he will be at
VoI,, service

Annual Meeting
OfBureau Today

Five members of the old board of di-
rectors were nominated for directors at
large of the new board at the annual
meeting of the farm bureau, held at
the local office today. The election was
taking place when the Press closed this
afternoon and the results We're not OBJ
tanned.
The meeting opened early this morn
ing with both new and old directors
present. The first subject brought up
was the proposed highway, the mater
ials to be used, and the route to be
taken. At a late hour this afternoon
the directors Were still speaking on the
question. One of the directors moved
that the farm bureau go on record as
opposed OF any patented materials be
ing used in the construction of the I'm
perial county roads. 1t was about to be
accepted when a past director made q
motion that a highway committee be
appointed to gather data on the differ
ent kinds of roads, the materials that
can be used, and average life of the diff,
ferent kinds of roads. The motion pass.

RANDALL BILL
BEF0CS ISSUE,
LOCAL OPINION
Secretary McIver this afternoon
received a wire from the delegation
saying Randall has promised them
he will act i'm harmony with the
Imperial Valley.

In the belief that the bill introduced
in congress yesterday by Congressman
Randall dealing with the flood control
of tahe Colorado river is merely to cloud
and befog the issue of the Kettner bill
and is a substitute to it unacceptable to
the Valley, local organizations put on
their fighting clothes this morning and
prepared to combat this bill. 1t is be-
lieved that the introduction of the bill
at this time is merely another Hayden
bill in purpose and design.
Telegrams from the Irrigation district
were sent to the committee at Washing
ton asking for their opinion and the
present status of the I<ettner bill and
if in the opinion of the Valley commit
tee, an attempt is being made to cloud
the issue, a vigorous compaign will be
launched.
Announcement of the bill in yester-
days Press caused a large amount of
comment.

give an opinion, until more informa-
ton is received
