IS COMMENT BY
NEW ENGINEER
" ur ~ Ii " is Like PrOreybial
Clam When it Comes to Talk
ing to Reporters

The newly appointed drainage en-
ginecr Of the Irrigation District, d.
w. Murphy, was asked this morning
to make a statement TO The Press
about his plans and just what he was
going to do.
Mr.. Murphy proved an evasive Gus
toner for the reporter, and also that
ne was ready for the question put to
him. In answer handed out the fol-
lowing typewriter statement, and
said that's all for right now:
at is too early vet for me to dis
cuss any of the details of the work.
The directors Of the District have
stated to me that construction work
on drainage will be begun as soon as
detailed plans for it can be prepared.
Studies have been taken up on the
seeped and water-logged area on the
eastern~-side of the Valley. On this
portion large amount of investiga-
ton has already been made by the
engineers of the District With this
information available rela ative to soil
conditions and ground water. it is eX-
oected that plans fOr one or more
irains can be prepared within about
thirty days"
Director Roy McPherrin also got
back from the trip to the Pescadero
Cut and found the work going along
in nice and satisfactory shane.

CATTLE RECEIPTS

The weekly market letter of the
California Cattlemen's Association,
just received from Secretary r. NJ
Hagen, is as follows:
Receipts of cattle at Chicago mar
ket during the past week were some
what higher than those of the pre-
vious week, and the average price
paid showed a decline of about one
cent below the price received the
week before. This decline in price,
however, is a seasonal variation on
that market at this time of the year,
as explained in the report of Novem-
Der 7. Receipts of cattle in San
Fsancisco during the past week have
increased slightly. with the price of

WHEN is JACK FROST
GOING TO COME ?

The crisp mornings have brought
on the usual discussion as to what
time frost appears in Imperial Valley.
Last year the first frost came Nov.
28. The year before it came Nov. IS.
The importance Of the date to the
ranchers of the valley can hardly be
estimated. 1t materially affects late
milo and also cotton. The later the
frost the better the yield of milo and
the more cotton will be produced.
Year before last there was big dam
age done the milo by reason of the
carly coming of frost and the result
has been that both this season and
last there was less late milo planted.
With cotton it was different and the
planters this year in many instances
were later than usual, although the
acreage on the whole is about half of
what it was last wear.

MEX AND GARCIA
TO MEET AGAIN
(Special to The PresSl

MEX1CALI, Nov. 17.-kid Mex,
clever bantamweight boxes of this
city, will met Young Garcia of Yuma
in the main event of ten rounds next
Sunday evening at the Owl arena.
This pair have met four times, Gar
cia winning one decision of ten rounds
and Kid Mex laid the Yuma boy low
in seven rounds on a questionable
knockout. Garcia claimed foul in
this bout but the Judges gave the fighc
to Mex. Since that time Garcia has
boxed Kid Mex four round draw in
Brawley and the question of suprem-
acy between these boxers still hangs
in the air.
Kid Mex, fresh from his knockout
victory over Ted Levin, champion of
San Joaquin valley, in seven rounds a
couple of weeks ago, is touted as be
ing championship possibility and his
manager is nursing him right along.
Garcia is a lanky voungster and is a
great punisher in the clinches. Their
next meeting, Sunday night, will un-
doubtedly settle all questions as to
who is really the best boxer.
What promises to be the best card,
and perhaps better than the main
bout, is the special event of six rounds
between Jap Romero of San Diego and
"Chief" Abernathy, former soldier
boy, stationed at the Calexico bar
racks. Alternately has been engaging
in several important bouts since he

Tp-' s~~c ofy+od F-~ss>

SACRAMENTO, Nov.s17.-The live
stock interests of the country are tax
ing keen interest in the plans Of the
federal department of agriculture to
lnaugurate quarterly reports of num-
bers of live stock, it was stated here
by Charles E. Gage of the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington.
Mr.. Gage is in charge of the crop
and live stock reporting service of
the federal bureau of markets and
crop estimates, which is operated on
a cooperative basis by the federal
and state departments of agriculture.
At the present time, according to
Mr.. Gage, cattle and sheepmen have
little or no information by which to
measure the seasonal increase in
numbers, the movement of stock from
the breeding grounds of the south
west to the grazing grounds in the
northwest, the flow of stock into the
feed lots of the corn belt states. the
numbers being prepared for market,
etc.
This is the gap, Mr.. Gage states,
which the quarterly report will seek
to fill. Among the points to be taken
up with reference to cattle, sheep and
swine will be: Numbers born or
brought onto farms by purchase,
numbers died, slaughtered or sold off
from farms, numbers remaining on
hand, numbers bred or held for
breeding purposes, numbers on pas
lures, numbers being fed for market,
numbers Of purebred animals, and
similar data.
From information of this character
it will be possible to forecast future
production for the benefit of live
stock men just as is now done for the
producers of the great food and feed
crops of the country.
Another feature regarded as im
portant no wis being developed by the
bureau of markets and crop esti-
mates, by which live stock men will be
kept informed of the production of
live stock in foreign countries and of
the condition of foreign markets for
American meat.

of it, and, like all Young men in such
a position, he sought new thrills. new
orgies, a new climax of debauchery.
Arbuckle is not to be eXonerated, not
to be excused of his alleged crime on
these grounds, but he is the victim Of
too much popularity.
What will be his end? That is the
question. They will never be able to
convict him of murder and he will
probably come off without a sentence
but will the public ever accept him in
pictures again? Ii is estimated that
he is worth about $4,000. and it is
safe to state that the trial will take

MAIL BANDIT
GARDNER IS
E:L Gen TRIO
ISL TOR
Nervy but Notorious Grim
inal Captured in Phoenix;
Relates Story of Wander
ings After Escape from
Prison

Roy Gardner, the notorious mail
bandit, who escaped from Mcneil ISL
and penitentiary September 5, and
was captured at Phoenix. Ariz.. last
Tuesday night, was an FL Centre and
MeXicali visitor during the time he
was at liberty, and just a few days
before he was caught in Phoenix by
the clerk of the mail car he was try
ing to rob.
, IA relating the story OF his escape
and his wandering subsequently, to
Sheriff Montgomery at Phoenix,
Gardner said almost the entire trip
through the west and middle ives tern
states was made on a motorcycle
which he obtained in Oregon City,
Or, which he reached in twenty
mile trip on an interurban line after
leaving the automobile in which he
drove to Portland.
His only disguise was to bleach his
black hair to a reddish tinge. When
ever he rode the motorcycle he wore
a pair of tinted glasses.
Throughout his trip Gardner slept
out of doors most of the time, but on
occasions stayed in lodging houses,
as he has since he came to Phoenix,
twenty-three days ago.
Gardner stayed in Medford, Or,
three days, he said, and in Redding
overnight. Leaving Redding the next
day, he started for Napa, Cal, where
his wife and baby were. After one
night in Napa, he left for Bakersfield,
where, he stayed overnight and next
day started for Los Angeles. That
was about four weeks ago, as nearly
as Gardner could recall the time.
He had been travelling on the motor
cycle until the engine froze between
San Juan Capistrano and San Diego.
After two days there he went to
MeXicali, reaching the Mexican town
about twenty-seven days ago. He left
San Diego on the regular stage and
came to FL Centre, where he spent
several hours, and then went by stage
to CaleXico and walked across the
line.
Asked by Sheriff Montgomery why
he did not remain in Mexico, where he
would have been safe from arrest,
Gardner replied that there was no
money down there, and that he
couldn't compete with Mexicans for
work
Gould have existed down there,
suppose he said, "but then YOU can
exist in the penitentiary.'
He stayed three days in Mexicai
and then started for Phoenix by way
of Yuma and Maricopa, Ariz., he said.
Il always get caught like this"
Gardner said, "but I'd just as soon
be caught in a one-horse town as in
San Francisco"
1t was found at the police station
that the first two shells in Gardner's
gun contained small shot and would,
if they hit man, overpower him
without injuring him, if shot at
range of several feet Gardner ex-
planned that the reason he didn't use
the gun was that he had il pressed
against Inderlied's stomach so close
ly that the bullet would have pene-
trated his body and might kill him in
