Water Company Fails to Sc
cure Concession from Dis
trict Board; Immediate
Settlement Seems Unlikely

At 200 o'clock this afternoon cf-
forts of mutual water company No. 5
to secure so-called "more equitable
settlement" of the $55 900 now owing
to the Imperial Irrigation District, had
not reached any definite stage.
The morning was taken up by a
general discussion of the many details
that comprise the claims of the water
company. Directors of Mutual No. S
claim that there is by far greater
percentage of evaporation and seepage
in their district than in other sections
Of the valley and that for this reason
the water company is entitled to have
an allowance of more than S per cent
TO cover these losses.
Appearing in behalf of the mutual
company was it's board of directors,
superintendent, water master and sec
retary. While representating the ir-
rigation district were the district
board, General Manager Cronholm,
the district water master, the business
manager, the secretary and Attorney
Ross.
For many months the district has
been attempting to force collections,
but without avail. The company has
refused to pay any part on the ground
that to do so would be an admission
of legality of the claim. The district
has urged payment of the money as
at times the district treasury was bad
lv in need of the money.
Officials of No. S have proposed to
turn over to the district it's canal sys-
tenn as full payment for the account,
but this offer has never received any
serious consideration by the district
board.
Peculiar complications will arise to-
day. With $55,000 at stake, both dis
trict and water company will kecnly
contend for advantage land all points
at issue will be legal, or involving le-
gal questions. j. Stewart Ross is it
torney for both Imperial District ard
water company No. 5, and will be
compelled to furnish advice to both.

1884 THEATERS
OF "MOVIE' KIND

There are 1884 theaters in the
United States devoted exclusively to
the showing of motion pictures. Inis
total is from the compilations made
by Oliver Morosco Pr, luct ms from
the latest national directories and
theatrical guides. With hectic build
ing activities in theatres being car
led on throughout the country, + Is
a conservative estimate that the 1n1ai
will run over the 10000 .:a,l; by tie
end of the year.
Greater New York naturally leads
in the list of "moviest' cities with
GOA motion picture theaters, eXclud-
ing the honses where the combina-
ton of film and vaudeville are
shown. In Manhattan and the Bronx
there are 2S9, in Brooklyn 264 and
in Queens 81. Chicago comes next
with 345 and Philadelphia is third
with 1874.
Los Angeles "flm capital of the
world, and 10th in population, is
seventh in the number of it's motion
picture theaters. The statistics ac-
credit Los Angeles with 102 and San
Francisco with sc.
In the states New York is natur-
ally sthe leader with 1896 motion pic
ture theaters, 500 of which are out
side of Greater New York, Buffalo
Syracuse and Rochester. Pennsyl-
Vania comes next with 1888, Ohio is
hird with 1895 and Illinois fourth
with 1927 California has 676
Up in Alaska where the motion pic
ture night lasts for weeks there are
26 film theaters. Uncle Sans other
lands of weather extremes, Hawaii and
Porto Rico have A and 33 respectively
In Canada there are $50 motion pic
ture theaters listed, 95 being in Tor
onto and Ga in Montreal.
"These figures show" says Oliver
Morosco, "the immensity of film dis
tribution and the large amount OF
pictures needed to supply the demand
When there has been a decreased pro-
duction it is obvious that nearly 20
900 theaters will. very quickly bring
about a pronounced shortage"

ANNUAL. MEET|NG
OF MEL ON AND
VEGETABLE MEN

Within ten days the annual meet
ing Of the Imperial Valley Vegetable
and Melon Growers association will
be held, the annual report will he
made, new officers will be elected and
the headquarters probably removed
from Calipatria to Brawley.
A year ago handful of grocers
met and organized the association
with just 125 acres as a nucleus. 1t
was done on the California standard
plan which carries with it the active
assistance and supervision of the state
market director.
This meeting was attended by three
Brawley growers and IS Calipatrians.
In spite of the small attendance they
had nerve to launch the association,
hire an experienced manager and start
operations with their 1875 acres. The
membership grew by leaps and bounds
and the annual report will show that
they received premium of 25 cents
per crate for cantaloupes on their
pack and high praise came from the
New York dealers.
They sold their produce of all kinds
in the trying season just passed at en-
average expense to the grower of 7 i-2
per cent on the net returns, which is
considered by Edwin Yawger, one of
the members to be decidedly in con-
trast to the familiar percentages here
tofore imposed on the industry which
is figured at the gross price at des-
tination. s .t.
"Every intelligent grower is already
convinced of the tremendous advan-
tages of this association" said Yaw-
ger. 'It means permanent and uni
form brand for Imperial Valley that
is destined to become a household
word throughout the United States
and Canada.
at means that every grower will
be in business with every other grow
er, and every man will be as anxious
to see his neighbor put out a good
pack as to put out one himself. Most
important of all it means the elimina-
ton of irresponsible producers who
are tempted by easy money in the
shape of advances to plunge for a
single season on the chance of win
ming on phenomenal market"
