This serves to recall that George III
nominated his second son, Frederick,
duke of York, to the titular bishopric
of Osnaburg, when he was but a few
months old, which led Sidney Smith

that he understood that the right rev

Dixie
IS PROPOSED

Ell CENTRIC, Cal, Aug. 25.---
The Colorado river must be put
back where II belongs and kept
there. ~ the Imperial Irrigation
District is to thrive In the future,
according to F. n. Cronholm. chief
engineer and general manager for
the district. At present, the south
ern portion Of the Colorado, from
q few miles below Yuma to where
the waters enter the gulf OF Cali
fornia, forms a delta similar in
character to that OF the Nile. When
the river rises. II leaves the small
cuts and channels that seam the
delta lands. and wanders all over
Lower California, sometimes threat
ening to break back along the ir-
rigation system into the Imperial
Valley. and always causing the land
owners anxious hours and large ex-
penditures for protection.
Mr.. Cronholm told recent meet
ing OF the irrigation district direc-
tors that Il would cost about $2,-
100000 to stop this trouble. His
plans contemplate Strengthening the
river channel, defining It SO clearly
that II will stop the river waters,
and making assurance doubly sure
by a constructing additional pro
tective levees. At a cost OF $275,-
900 he would also divert the riv-
er into Pescadero basin. strength
en- the three existing levees which
lie between the principal streams
and the valley lands, and would
make a complete land and aerial
survey OF the whole Colorado river
for the future guidance Of flood
fighters.
The total ccst OF these changes
would be about three million dol
lars, Mr.. Cronholm estimated. That
is lot of money, he said, but as
the annual bill for preventing riv-
er ravages and repairing flood
damages Is close to ten per cent
Of that figure, II would pay event
ually and in the mean time would
end uncertainty about flood losses.

Los ANGELES. Cal, Aug. 26.-
Horses may be passing from the

numerous. The Los Angeles city

Recently the fire department re-
leased IS old time steeds from SER

council ordered the fire horses
transferred to the engineering de-
partment to haul garbage wagons.
Then came a tempesuous howl OF
protest from press. pulpit and pub
lie that swept tn. council from its
course and landed the horses In a
safe haven.
Fiery eyed women and earnest
voiced men descended on the coun-
ell In droyes. Tney told that as

garbage hauling order was rescind-
ed and the steeds ordered turned
over to the park department with
to work them enough

live out their days in ease.
