Many kinds of insects are listed by
entomologists, praying on each kind OF
fruit trees, all the way from a few up
to seventy-seven different insects which
attack certain kinds of fruit trees One
might hesitate about going into the
fruit business on account of the vast
number of insects that are seemingly
waiting to destroy the trees. but, when
understood and applied, perhaps one
treatment will control the situation
against all comers.
SO far the damage done by insects
and other pests on the insects and
other pests on the apricots is limited.
The most serious some season sare the
linnets and sparrows eating the buds
as they begin to swell early in the
spring. These pests are rather difficult
to control Thrips do some damage, but
are not of so much Importance to the

President j. s.. Nickerson of the If.
rigation district, and River Superinten-

gate, making all preparations to curb
the Colorado river in case it starts to
eat into its banks
No apprehension is felt as the result
of the flood crest, which was expected
today.
The water at Yuma this morning had
reached the 31.S foot stage, rise of 8
since last night.
At lockwood gate there were many
interested watchers of the swirling tor
rent. lockwood gate is % feet high,
and this morning the river had reached
the 22.3 foot stage, IL feet since last
evening. There was much speculation
as to what would happen should the
river reach the top, but nothing serious
was anticipated
The levees are undergoing a severe
strain.
Some people in Yuma living on the
lOwlands moved to higher ground, but
their fears proved groundless, the
levee there being in the best shape it
has even been and able to withstand a
flood crest of 3S feet.

10 POLICE CHIEFS
IN FIVE YEARS.; A
RECORD FOR CITY

Perhaps readers OF the Press think
they would like the job being chief of
police of Ell Centre. Those of male
persuasion, of course, ladies in this in
stance being pardonably excused.
Then, again, perhaps, you might not
like the job, considering that there have
been no less than ten of those worthy
directors of the city's morality who in
their various limited tenures in office
have succeeded or failed in keeping the
perennial lid fastened down on the
town.
Be that as it may, the job is by no
means a cinch-this pleasing the va
rious groups of sometimes gr0uchy city
dads, each and all of whom might per-
chance wake up some fine morning
with severe attack of dyspepsia, re-
solved upon firing everybody in the
city's employ who failed to kow tow to
his lOrdly malady.
One group of city paps want things
run thus and so. holding it incompatible
with the dignity Of the city to allow eX-
uberant CANNES to bark before o'clock
in the morning and 10 on Sundays.
However, the tenth candidate ap-
pointed last Friday night, j. e. Franks,
for some years past has presided over
the destines of the S. p. railroad prop
critics around inland. Just what the
future may have in store for Mr..
Franks is most problematical. AS some
wiseacres say, I'VE shall see what we
shall see," all Of which says nothing.

COLBY NAMED
BY WILSON
SECRETARY
Of STATE
Former Republican, Who
Switched to Progressive
Party and then to Demo-
cratic, Selected by Presi-
dent as Robert Lansing's
Successor.
.(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Bain-
bridge Colby of New oYrk, who was
one of the leaders, of the progressive
party under Theodore Roosevelt, will
succeed Robert Lansing as secretary of
state, according to the announcement
at the White House. The selection of
Colby came as a surprise, most of the
officials assuming that Frank Polk
acting secretary of state, would be the
presidents choice. Colby was life
long Republican until the famous Bull
Moose bolt at the Chicago convention
in 912. When Roosevelt threw his
weight and influence to Hughes in 1916
Colby identified himself with the
Democratic party.
After Colby has taken office Polk,
who has been secretary of the Interior
is expected to carry out his intentions
of retiring from the state department
Polk has been in i'll health for more
than q year.

CITY DADS FAVOR
CIVIC PLANS FOR
BETTER Il CENTRO

Although it is highly improbable
that the actual call for a bond election
for civic betterments will be made by
the city council this evening, the city
dads are expected to assure the cham
Der of commerce committee that the
call will be issued at an early date
The chamber of commerce civic i'm
provements committee, consisting of J.
f. Seymour, Jr, chairman; ornamental
| lighting, Clifford Coggins; fire alarm
system, J. l.. Travers; city hall, J. E.
Davis; Fairgrounds, j. X. Hermon, has
siSnified its intention of calling on the
council with a request for action this
evening.
i Members of the city council today
expressed themselves as heartily in ia
vOr of the proposed improvements. The
water question, which has been holding
up the cali heretofore, has practically
settled itself. with the receipt of esti-
mates of $150,000 on the Brawley main
and $250,00 on the New River plan.
both of which are regarded as out of
the question. L is now planned to con-
struct some additional desilting basin
which will prove adequate for some
time.
The present improvement plan calls
for the calling of a bond election of ap-
proXimately $165. 900 which is regarded
by members of the council as the limit
of safety, inasmuch as the bonding ca
pacity at present is approximately
100000, and the council believes the
city should be able to bond itself in
case of emergency.
The plan divides the $165 900 as fol-
lows Parks and Fairgrounds, ST., 900;
new desilting basins, $4,000; water
mains, $4,000; fire alarm system, $780,
600; lighting system, $4,000, and city
hall, 100000.
The council held special meeting
last night at which the formal signing
of the contract for an army aviation
field took place. Last nights action
merely set down in writing the plans
as announced weeks ago. The first of
the plans, etc, are expected in a short
time.

U.S.CONSUL TO
RE I ALA It
At MEXICAN
H0LD-UP
Vice consul w. A. Smale
Says Like Fee Will be Ex-
acted on this Side of Line
in Effort to Convince
Mexicans of the Error of
Their Ways.

That it is the intention of the
American consulate at Mexicali and
other points i'm California to retail
late i'm kind for the action of the
Mexican federal government i'm ex-
acting fee of $3.50 daily to enter
Mexico through the port of Mexi-
cali, is the state of American Vice
Consul w. A. Smaie.
THE matter has been taken up with
the state department" said Consul
Smale, land l see no justice in our gov
ernment allowing Mexican citizens to
enter the United States through Cal
exico, when they are charging our tour
ist citizens a fee of $3.50 for the mere
ing their money there.
'There is very little doubt that the
Mexican federal government Will be
made to see the error of imposing a
charge upon Americans and others
crossing the line to spend good Ameri-
can money there if our government
simply deals out little reciprocity .
said Consul Smale.
Regarding the intolerable situation
existing Tt the line now the CaleXico
Chronicle says, at the same time hint
ing that the Mexicans are killing the
goose that laid the golden egg:
AS to the requirement of photo
graph and $3.50 wise on the oneday
passports, there is nothing new so far
as can be learned. Being purely
Mexican matter there is little
hope that the American authorities
can or will interfere, although the
matter has been taken up. The case
was laid before President Sandoval of
the Mexical Chamber of Commerce by
the local chamber, and that gentleman
was pleased to go to work actively in
the hope that it would be possible to
secure some relief from their officials
The matter was laid before Governor
Cantu, who, although not responsible
for the ruling, it is believed will use his
influence to have it modified.
The loss through one-day passports
will be heavy to Mexicali business, as
hundreds who went over spent more or
less money on the Mexican side of the
line. 1t is of less consequence on this
side than on the other. so far as money
is concerned.
Wofd has Deen received from Con
gressman Kettner and others that the
case presented against the restrictions
on the border is being taken up and
urged before the state department, but
thus far no word has been received
through official sources and the big
though serious joke remains of con
trolling the border" which means moth
ing in a practical way to anyOne.

SAYS KETTNER
BILL HAS No
CHANCE At
PRESENT
Strong Words of Criticism
on Action of Valley; De-
clares Valley Shows Lack
of Confidence in Commit
tee; Will be Home Soon
and Explain.

j. r. Davis, now in Washington at
the instance of the railroad committee
of the chamber of commerce, has sent
a telegram to the local chamber which
severely criticises the valley for the
failure to back up it's delegation in
Washington and agree to the Mondell
Iplan.
Mr.. Davis is on the ground and is in
position to accurately know the
facts. His telegram will be taken up
by the chamber of commerce this
evening and is as follows:
IS. w. Lefingwel, Secretary, Chamber
of Commerce, Ell Centro, Cal.
II can appreciate the Discrimination
of the people of the valley to abandon
the Kettner bill. However. the condi-
tons here are such that the Kettner
bill has no chance this session under
the Kincaid kill.
Valley has standing that will be a
strong influence to be used this year
for Weir if necessary. You have re-
peatedly sent committees here to repre-
sent the people of the valley, but you
don't support them when it comes to
a showdown.
''The principal trouble with the man.
ner of handling this affair Is lack of
confidence. Your committee here
know the conditions as they exist and
you don't. and while it is disappointing
at this time to be told there is no hope
at this session, yet the relief bill as
proposed by Mr.. Kincaid is the proper
thing to do and is recommended to you
by kettner' Baker, Kincaid, Barbour
Mondell, Lane Davis of the reclamation
and many others.
You can send all the committees
here you want to, but you will never
get anywhere until you adopt policy
of supporting your representatives and
working with these in the different de-
partments in harmony with their judg-
ment of what is proper.
Il shall be home in few days, and
will explain in detail. In the eantime
use influence to have Kincaid b.
passed. j. e. DAVIS"

Every man in the detachment,

Special significance is attached
to the fact that a medical detach-

RumOred plots of attempted Jail

said, to request the soldiers.
The army officers considered the
