ROSE VICTOR AT IMPERIAL
Officials In
Land Office
ToLose Heads

There are two gentlemen in Ell
Centre who are on the quiet lookout
for jobs. They are B. H. Lien and
Vene Bloomer OF the U. S. land office,
receiver and registrar.
The reason is simple. The repub-
licans won the election and the posi-
tiors they hold are of political ma
ture.
However, the changes will not take
place for two years, it is understood,
and both Mr.. Lein and Mr.. Bloomer
are expecting to be happily located by
that time.
There are no other federal positions
in the city.
Postmaster C. w. Collins is now
under civil service and cannot be re-
moved except under civil service rules.
1t is interesting to note that certain
democrats filed charges against Mr..
Collins before election, evidently be-
lieving that the democratic party was
going to win and that they would
then be in position to oust him.
Nothing more has been heard of
them.

REPUD|A I T
ACTION Of
ADVISORY
BOARD
Full Board of Mutual Water
Companies in Session Res
cinds Action of Small POr-
ton of Board Several
Weeks Ago.

The mutual advisory board,
with practically every director
present, this morning in Imperial
repudiated the action of the board
wnen only a small number of the
directors were present in passing
resolution favOring the Volcano
Lake storage plan. Mark Rose
won his fight.
The meeting was held at the offices
of Mutual Water Company Mol. ana
it was only with the greatest difficult
ty that any information was available
Tor the general public, the Volcano
Lake adherents evidently trying to
block the information from becoming
public, Refusals to call spectators at
the meeting to the phone, to answer
questions regarding the progress OF
the meeting, and other actions failed
to keep the news from all valley pa
pers, however, which united in secur-
ing accurate information.
The action to rescind the former &C.
ton of the board carried by a vote OF
9 to 6, and was only brought to vote
after spirited debate.
At the opening Of the meeting this
morning, practically the full district
board, together with General Manager
F. N. Cronholm and Secretary Frank
McIver, were present. The meeting
place was packed.
r. D. McPherrin, also a director IN
the advisory board as we'll as the irri-
CATION district, made motion not to
refer the resolution passed by the
board at its recent meeting to the mu-
tual water companies for action.
This motion was seconded by Ches-
ter Allison, one Of the ardent hackers
of the Volcano Lake storage plan,
who declared that he believed the
Boulder canyon dam was OF first I'M
portance and that as political capital
was being made out of the former ac-
ton Of the board, he would be willing
to second any plan which would make
further controversy unnecessary.
At this point j. S. Nickerson, an ad-
visory board director as we'll as presi-
dent Of the irrigation board, arose and
said that he believed the thing should
not be tabled but should be rescinded.
This brought applause from those
who wished to see the action wiped
off the books.
SldIk CICiA cAooS e~AA>S
made a motion to table Mr.. McPher-
rims motion, stating that as quickly
as it was passed he would move that
the action of the board be rescinded.
Thisi motion pryevailed, although no
vote was made public. The resolution
was then offered, put to a vote and
the action rescinded.
Chester Allison took the floor again
and read letter from Harry Chandler
asking Mr.. Allison to act as spokes-
man for the C-M properties below the
line at all irrigation meetings. In
commenting on this Mr.. Nickerson
said that Mr.. Chandler had been doing
everything except act in the past six
weeks.
Although this was not placed to a
vote, it appeared agreeable to those
present. Messrs. McPherrin and ALI
son will form a committee to see
about water rentals below the line.

two to Louisville, and the one
that has just been added to

poor and overworked. The line
will make communications north
much easier. The whole system

Naturally there will be some ais-

too good is most encouraging.
