BIG TIRE MAN SAYS
BUSINESS BETTER

"There is no doubt that business is
on the way back" declares J. r.. Reilly
sales manager for the Goodyear Tire
e. Rubber company of California, after
completing 5000 mile 'swing around
the circuit" of the tire company's
western and northwestern branches.
His trip was made for the purpose
of holding salesmen's conferences at
the various headquarters at Los An
geles, oSan Francisco, Portland, Salt
Lake City and Denver and to ootair
first hand information concerning sales
conditions. :xi..a. .
? There is business to be had, but
you have to GO after it and fight for
it," he says. apparently there are as
many cars running now as ever, but
car owners are coaxing the last mile
out of their tires. We notice this in
the increased sale of repair material
Another encouraging condition is
that many car owners are carrying
either no spares at all or very dilap-
idated castings. All of these cars will
soon need at least one tire"

Legislature RusheS Through
General Appropriations
Measure and Stop Clocks
for Consideration of All
Other Matters.
(By Associated Press)

SACRAMENTO, April 29.-With-
out discussion or dissenting vote the
senate passed the general appropria-
tion bill, carrying approximately $685..
OO0, 200 to take care of the state gov
ernment and it's agencies during the
next two years.
The measure now goes back to the
assembly for concurrence of the. sem
ate amendments the chief Of which
make reductions in the appropriations
for the support Of state institutions,
except prisons, by 5 per cent; trans
ferring the funds for the support of
the Pacific colony and the home for de-
linquent women to the Sonoma state
home.
The assembly began the long final
grind Of the session by passing the
Johnson bill, an appropriation of $25OO
for the California redwood park, and
also the Jones bill, measure author
izing the commissioners Of the. red
wood park to fix the salary of the park
warden.
Then promptly at noon both the
senate and the assembly ordered the
sergeants at arms to stop the official
clocks, and with this act performed
"12 o'clock noon, Friday, April 29th,"
will probably arrive some time next
| Monday, or perhaps not until Tues
day.
Both houses of the legislature are
flooded with files Of bills yet for ac-
tiOn and the consequences are that a
great mass Of legislation will be
rushed through and sent to the gov
ernor. without much more considera-
tion than roll call. The fate Of scores
Of measures, which ordinarily would
be passed upon by these legislative
bodies, will be left to the tender mer-
| cies of the governor, and as he has
decided that he will take action on no
bill until after the final adjournment
of both houses, it will be weeks befors
the people of the state will learn what
is law and what is not.
, When the assembly receives the APP
I preparation bill from the senate it
promptly refused to concur in the
amendments cutting regular appro-
priations, and the senate in retaliation
refused to accept the assembly bill
transferring the control of San Fran
cisco harbor from the state to the city.

R 0.SE CLAIM
CANNOT Be
P A | D BY
DISTRICT
Superior Judge Marsh Issues
Permanent Restraining
Order Preventing Pay
ment Due All-American
Canal Protector and His
Associates.

The Imperial Irrigation District is
permanently restrained from paying
Mark Rose and the Laguna Water com.
pany the $76,200 due for services rem
dercd the district in Washington and
in securing data and plans for the ALL
American canal, and the Federal con-
tract for the building of the same
through the Mesa lands of the valley
The injunction was issued yesterday
in San Diego by Judge S. Nj. Marsh,
of the Superior Court, who sat in the
hearing of the evidence in the case
here, and who heard the arguments of
attorneys in San Diego last Tuesday:
Judge Marsh's order prevents the Ir-
rigation District from paying Rose or
the Laguna Water company any part
of the money spent on the preliminary
work done in furtherahce of the great
project
The claim Of Rose and the Laguna
Water company was based on an agree
ment which was made on or about
April 8, 1920, in which he consented
to the cancellation of his contract of
July 6, 1917, with the secretary of the
interior, and on the agreement on the
pdII VI tIle uiSJTlCl tIldC lIle ulSlTlcI
would pay to him any sum that the
secretary of the interior, or a board
appointed by him, might find was due.
On April 13, 1920, the secretary of
the interior cancelled the contract,
stating that cancellation was made
because of the failure Of the Imperial
Laguna company to carry out it's
terms in the matter of making surveys
and furnishing maps.
Taxpayers and water users of I'm
perial Valley opposed the payment of
the claim because they said that Mark
Roses asserted services were of no
value to the district and that the serv-
ices were in his own interests rather
than those of the district.
Rose was prevented from collecting
the $76.2O0 last September when seven
of the mutual water companies,
through Attorneys Stuart M. Sails
bury and William B. Himrod, brought
suit in the Superior court Of Imperial
county asking that the Imperial Irri-
cation district be restrained from pay
ing the sum asked or any portion of
it. A temporary restraining order
was issued by Judge Cole.
Trial of the suit to determine wheth-
er the temporary order should be made
permanent was set for last January
but was postponed when it developed
that neither of the Imperial County
Superior court judges was eligible tn
try the case.

TAXP AYERS MAY
FIGHT DRY PLAN

At the meeting of the board of su-
pervisors next Monday it is expected
that an ordinance will be passed pro-
viding for the enforcement of the pro-
hihi4;7 act by county officers. The
making of such law was demanded
of the supervisors by the members Of
the w. C. T. U. and others supporters
of the ''dry" cause, who set up the
claim thu -t"~" was entirely too much
activity on the part of booze peddlers
in the country districts.
A question of added cost to the tax
payers for the enforcement of the pro-
posed law has arisen. however, and it
may meet with some opposition on
that ground alone, particularly from
members of the Taxpayers association
and interested property owners, who
are riding hard the slogan, ''lOp off
every unnecessary dollar" In this
connection is the following statement
from Judge M. w. Conkling of the Su-
perior court:
"If there is a single new deputy to
be appointed when the new Volstead
act is passed by the county supervis-
ors, then I'm against the law as tax
payer" said Judge Conkling. "But
if the law will not cost the taxpayers
any more money then see no reason
why it shouldn't be passed.
"The United States government
should take care of that law" he con-
tinued, "and that is what they told us
would be done-why don't they do ii ?"

CHARGES FRAUD
IN LAND DEAL

Perhaps one of the most interesting
trials to be heard in Department E of
the Superior court here, is scheduled
for Monday morning when the suit OF
A. c. Palladin against the Imperial
Valley Farm Lands association, and
in which he seeks damages from the
defendant company in the sum of
$4,000 will be started.
Palladin came to Calipatria in
March, 1920, and in the office Of II
H. Clark, representative of the Farm
Lands association, stated that he was
q prospective purchaser of lands suit
able for the growing of grapes. Ac-
cording to the complaint he was shown
several tracts of land which he al
leges We're represented to him as be-
ing grape land, and as a result of the
representations that were made to him
by H. Fl. Clark, he purchased the sec
ton of land for which he paid ap-
proximately 100000, said price for the
land only and not to include water.
After spending some months in ar
effort to prepare the land for vine
yard, Palladine alleges that he dis
covered that the land was absolutel!
worthless for the growing of grapes
Palladine now seeks redress from
the Imperial Valley Farm Lands asso-
ciation, alleging that the whole trans
action was based on misrepresentation
The damages sought represent the
purchase price plus the amount the
land should now be worth provided il
had proven up as vineyard. The law
firm of Hickcox, Crenshaw & Trude
and l.. B. Stanton are representing the
plaintiff.

FIRST AND LARGEST
WHEAT CROP OF YEAR

w. W. Christensen, living three
lies northeast of Brawley, is harvest
ing the first early Bard Wheat" of
the 1921 season. He is getting the
remarkable yield of $500 pounds to the
acre. The Christensen place year
ago was considered undesirable be-
cause it contained many alkali spots.
The owner last summer put on water,
irrigated the land steadily during the
heated period and well into the fall.
Then he cultivated and broke it and
the bumper crop is the recult. He be-
lieves he has the finest yield in In
perial Valley and certainly has the
first harvested.

FEDERAL BOARD
TO START. WORK
ON BOULDER DAM
Director of Reclamation Service
and Corps of Engineers to
Dr0lc Plans at Once.

Secretary F. H. McIver has received
a letter from Congressman Phil d.
Swing giving the outline of proposed
visit to Imperial Valley, Boulder creek
and Yuma Of Arthur P. Davis, chief
of the reclamation service and who
will come to get the final data for his
report to congress on the Kinkaid act.
He expects to have his report in to
congress by June 15. At Boulder
Creek, Congressman Swing writes, the
director says the deepest the driller
had to go for bedrock was 13O feet,
and they are now drilling at angles
in order to avoid the swift current of
the Colorado river.
Congressman Swing wrote in most
optimistic vein of the big project. He
says that Davis will be in Yuma MAY
10 and urges Imperial Valley to take
steps to have him visit this section.
He also SAYS that Davis promises that
he would get in touch with the irriga-
tion district board upon his arrival
at Yuma.
Particular stress was laid upon the
fact that the deepest point at which
bedrock was found was only 130 feet.
1t was considered remarkably good
foundation. Accompanying Director
Davis will be his engineering board
and they will lay out at Boulder creek
their plans for the big dam which is
expected to harness The waters Of the
Colorado.

Wallace Reid and his young ready for their morning dip

Can. two geniuses exist in ono
family? The spotlight of public
interest in this momentous ques-
tion shifted from the Farrar-Tel-
legens in New York recently to the
Wallace Reds here. The spot
light served to throw the home
life of the Reds into strong
relief against II dark background
of rumors.
Just recently Mrs. Reid, known
professionally heretofore as Doro-
thy Davenport, elected to return to
the screen. She is playing opposite
Lester Cuneo, close friend of
Wally's. This Is the situation that
started all the rumors about a d.
vorce in the Reid family. The ru-
mors have been vehemently denied
by Mrs. Reid and her mother. The
fact that she is taking another
fling at pictures has nothing to do
with the happiness of her family
life. according to Mrs. Reid.
"Wally and l are as~happy as we
have always BEEN" she declares.
Il am even going to use my mar
ried name. Mrs. Wallace Reid,
instead of Dorothy Davenport IN
my new picture which certainly Is
not indicative of a DIVORCE"
During all the rumor Wally is
having a fine time with Wally. Jr.,
playing about in the sand of the
Reds own private swimming pool.
The photograph shows young Reid
in his swimming suit and If
freckles mean anything in pictures
he may be a second Wesley Barry.
