Cash for Flood Control
and improvements lndeff-
nitely Postponed.

Directors of the Imperial Irrigation
District this morning looked askanc ;
at anything that might lead 10 ,hc
spending of any substantial sum Of
money, although several important
questions which are said to need i'm
mediate attention were brought o5forr
them including flood protection ,Unl
drainage.
General Manager Cronholms' re-
port on proposed work in connection
with the flood control project, as pub
lished last Thursday in The Press, and
a tentative budget for 1922 which IL
cluded S250,000 for drainage, were be
fore the irrigation directors, but both
were laid aside until the financial con-
ditiOn of the district could be thor
Oughly gone into and the prospects for
1922 more definitely learned.
Mr.. Cronholm's reqeust was pre-
sented both in the flood control report
which was published in The Pess and
in an order for the expenditure of the
money, which he asked the directors
to approve. He urged upon them the
immediate necessity for starting the
Pescadero cut and strengthening Of
the Ockerson levee if the work is 70
be completed before the 1922 flood
season of the Colorado river.
He asked that $175,000 be provided
from this years. funds and that the
remaining $1O0,O be taken care of in
the 1922 budget.
Although the directors seemed TO be
of one mind on Mr.. Cronholm's su =
gestions regarding the flood control
work, especially as it pertains to the
diversion of the river through the
proposed cut, and bringing the Ocker-
son levee to higher state of per-
fection, none of them was certain Of
the districts ability to finance The big
undertaking.
The principal expenditures proposed
by Mr.. CronhOlm were Sl50.000 f."
the Pescadero cut an dobstruction Of
the river below that point to insure
the diversion of the water through tke
cut, and 100000 for Strengthening tt 2

the prospective cost of river diversion
and training, flood protection work in

CalexicO Man Authorized to
Pay S25O,OOO for Battle
Between Dempsey-JOhn-
son at Mexican Capital
BY 1IILY SILVER

CALEXICO, Aug. 9.-That Impe-
rial valley is looked upon as the
sporting center of the United States
by the sporting fraternity residing in
Mexico City, is an established fac.
Baseball in this valley last season pu.
Imperial Valley on the mao part'e-
ularly SO, with Mexican club win
ming the pennant. The Mexicali bal
capital playing with different clubs
have undoubtedly done tEeir share of
boosting this conmun'ty and as a re-
suit of this, telegram reached Ca
lexico yesterday from Edward Islas,
the most prominent sporting man and
political attache to President Obre-
gon, with his address at the national
palace. Islas is the man behind the
proposed Demps=y-JoEnson go which
he is endeavoring to pull off as a fea-
ture attraction during the mammonth
celebration to be held in that city on
September 27.
Islas addressed the telegram to
Baldomero Romero. who resides here
asking Romero to enter into imme-
diate negotiations with Champion
Jack Dempsey and Jack Johnson.
Romero, who is an old time acquaint-
ance of Islas and former business
partner, today served Dempsey ana
Johnson with summons by telegraph
in New York lily, wdera the two
celebrities are now residing. Romero's
wires are as follows:
Jack Dempsey, Hotel Belmont.

cate wishes to know your terms for

"BALDERMERO ROMERO"
| asked Romero today if Senior
Islas was in position to offer the
champion $250,000 for his end of the
purse and he put up both arms high
in the air. "My goodness man, the
Mexican government VIII put the
money in escrow in New York bank
at once. They want the Dempsey
Johnson fight as a feature attraction
and the government is behind the pro-
ject with all it's might" said Romero.
If the Mexican government has the
gumption to offer a quarter of mil
sion dollars to the champion and per-
haps $4,000 to the black man for 20
round fight, the government down
there has more nerve than we have
here. A fight between Champion Dem

prove a powerful magnet to draw
many sports to the celebration. There

Last Saturday evening two men
living near Round Prairie in Todd
County, names julius Hanson and
Hank Mclaughlin, visited the store
of Andrew J. Smith and made very
critical examination of the stock.
Mclaughlin engaged Smith in con-
versation while Hanson got in some
funny work, but not so successfully
as he hoped. He stripped of his
coat, hat and boots and proceeded ,tc
array himself in the best the market
afforded, and for time, was well
dressed a man as one would wish tc
see. But he did not enjoy his lux
.urious extravaganza long. Mr.. Smith
observed the metamorphosis, and ar
preaching Hanson inquired where he
got the hat, which was of peculiar
pattern and easily spotted. He sac
he bought it at Long Prairie. Tho
coat he had purchased in this vii
lage. Mr.. Smith called his atten-
ton to the fact that the goods hac
the private mark of the "Leviathan,'
attached to them, but still Hanso,
persisted that they were, honestly
procured elsewhere. Sheriff Dem 4
was sent for and Hanson was locke
up till Monday morning. McLaugh
lin was not arrested, although it wa
suspected that he was accessory tc
the crime. On Monday morning
Hanson was arraigned before Esquir
West, convicted of petty larceny, ano
sentenced to three months impriscn
ment in the county jail. He was re-
turned to the lookup by Sheriff Den
mis- who expected to take him tc
St. Cloud Tuesday morning. Hanson
did not expect any such thing, how
ever, and he was nearer correct tina
the sheriff. On Tuesday morning it
was found that the prisoner had bio
adieu to the walls of his cell and
scared through the roof taking tn
stove pipe, hole and all with him !,
1t is believed he will return to his
home, where he left bride of ?
couple of weeks, in which event he is
still liable to become an unwilling
guest of Sheriff Mickey.
