PLANS
7 D ABSORB
MI TUA AIS
FORME
State Engineer Mcclure and
Irrigation Directors Get
Together on Projec t
Abolish Office of Cen
eral Manager

State Engineer w. +. Mcclure from
Sacramento, representing the bono
commission of the state, met with tn,
board of directors of the Irrigatio.
District yesterday for the purpose OF
formulating the final plan whereof,
the mutual water companies are to be
absorbed by the Imperial Irrigation
District.
The plan as submitted by the engi
neel contemDlates the issuance of Ger.
tificates against each acre of lane
within the district amounting tc
about $40 each. These certificates
will be used to pay off the indebted,
ness of the mutual companies first
and then the balance will 20 to the
stockholders and their stock will be
taken up.
Unwater stocked lands will be re-
qulred to take over certificates and
the proceeds Of the sale to the un.
water stocked lands will be used bv
the district to make extensions and
rebuild laterals within the district
Heretofore the idea has been that un-
water stocked lands would merelu
have to pay their proportion of the
Indebtedness created to buy out the
mutualS-a totalf Of about $5.5OO,-
0O0-but under the new arrangement
they would be.required to pay $40 an
acre for the certificates before they
could get water
Engineer Mcclure is believed to be
favorable to this sort of plan. The
debt would be paid off within twenty
years in a similar way to that neces-
sary for liquidating bonded indebted
ness.
At an executive session of the board
it was also decided that no successor
to General Manager F. N. Cronholm
is to be appointed. The office Of gen
eral manager is to be abolished an
instead an engineer of high standing
is to be secured to look after the tee
nical work of the district, while all
business matters be kept within the
control and direction of the board.
Plans We're adopted for the immedi-
ate drainage work necessary in Dis
trict No. 5. and it is probable that the
dredges will be put to work by Mon
day.

MILITIA MONEY
is AWFUL SHY

WASHINGTON, Dee. 1G.-Raoid
progress in the rebuilding Of the ma
tion's second line Of defense--the ma
.tional guard-was made during the
last fiscal year, says the annual re-
port of the chief of the militia bu-
reau, under signature of Brigadier
General Jesse Mel, Carter, ertired.
On last June 30, the report saws, the
guard numbered 1850 with 331 or
.ganizations allotted, but not vet or
ganized.
On the basis of expansion during
lst year, General Carter estimated
that before the end of the current fis-
cal year the guard would number l60,-
900 men, or some 10000 more than
the regular army. Pointing out that
available funds for this year provide
for only 10000 men, the report says
that unless increased appropriations
are allowed, there will be trouble
ahead" for the militia bureau.
AS existing law prescribes the pay
of the guardsmen, General Carter
says there appears to be no way t.
avoid creation of deficiency eXcep.
by refusing to recognize additional
units duly organized under provisions
of the law.
"Sueh action" he adds, "will surely
cause bitter feelings and charges OF
bad faith; it will crush the present
rising tide in the organization of oul
second line of defense"

This pat declaration comes from
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes,
who secs dangers ahead for the Vol

says, that it must come to the rescue,
if the law is to be upheld and respect
for it secured-by compulsion if nee
essary.
Commissioner Haynes estimate of

priation of slO,O0O,OOo. But that is
not enough. ought to have $5O,OOO,-
900 to tackle this job right"
Greatly enlarged forces of dry law
agents in all states to cooperate moic
actively with the state and municipal
authorities is imperative, in Haynes
opinion, to insure literal compliaice
with the Volstead law.
. Commissioner Haynes said the gov
ernment is now going the limit in an
assault upon illegal trafficking in
rum. A smash is now on to stop the
leak sat distilleries. Stopping liquor
at its source, officials said, is a prime
need. What they aim to do is to scan
permit applications so closely that di-
version of whisky withdrawn from
to illegal uses willie be
made virtually impossible.
But Haynes is fully cognizant of
the fact that even after all his efforts
have been exhausted, with the COM
limited group of dry law
agents at his command. there still will
remain other and perhaps equally baf-
fling phases of the Volstead law prob

for the flocks of specially good look

but little more than a week remains
from now until the birds must face

The Thanksgiving shipments were
the largest for three years past and
indications are that The rush the COM

period last year, and the price will be
up from Is to 20 per cent over last

specially so when the cost of feed is
taken into consideration, it being
much lower than in 1920.
