Previous to the time of the issuance
of the writs by Chief Justice Lansden
the legality of the action of the Ten

by certain opponents to woman's usf-
frage in the courts of that state, and
it was asked that each state official
be enioined from taking any steps to
proclaim. declare or certify the adop-
ton of the amendment by the general
assembly, on the ground that such ac
ton was in violation of the constitu-
ton of the state.
Thereafter petition for certiorari
and superCedas was presented on the
night of August %, 1920, by certain
of the defendants to ID. l.. Lansden,
chief justice of the Tennessee Su-
preme court, at his residence, and after

son, state attorney general, the chief
Justice issued a fiat.
The attorney general on the follow
ing morning advised Governor Roberts

the entire matter open. He also ad-
vised the governor that it was his
power and duty to certify the legisla-
lures action on the suffrage amend
ment to Washington as having been
duly performed.
Thereupon certificate of ratifica-
ton was issued by the governor.

rollment of candidates for the camps
giving basic training which will be
open to mon up to 35 years of age who
have had little or no military training
and desire practical instruction in the
field.
Attendance will be without cost to

the extension of irrigation projects,
and for the manufacture of hydro-elec-
trio power.
The irrigation district has not been
alone in seeking this magnificent site,
but it was the pioneer in the work, and
was the first on the ground with money
and men to perform the preliminary
work. Then the Southern California
Edison company, stepped in and asked
permission of the Federal reclamation
service to build dam chiefly for the
purpose of manufacturing hydro elec-
trio energy. The irrigation district
protested to the government and the
protest has been noted and is on file
and will be taken account of at the
time when the application is up for q
hearing.
The engineers who made the survey
for the reclamation service in their re-
port declared that the building of the
Boulder Creek dam would intercept
most of the drainage of the Colorado
river and therefore present a more
complete solution Of the flood control
problem. And that such a reservoir
as would be created would be more
valuable in the irrigation of the lands
of the Imperial Valley than any other
site, on account of the proximity and
the consequent possibility of the regu-
lation of it's flow more nearly in ac-
cordance with the fluctuating needs of
the agriculturists of that section.

Are Most Optimistic.

Mutual interests and ambitions

cording to Carl II. Helbron, chairman
Of the Imperial Valley committee Of
the San Diego Chamber Of Commerce,
who gave a talk yesterday noon before
the action club of the chamber at a
luncheon in the San Diego hotel.
The speaker said that the line be-
tween the two counties is only mag
mary, their interests being mutual.
HeilDron spoke OF the success of the
recent San Diego business mems tour
of Imperial VALLEY and told of the
good work of further came.,a.ing the
ties of friendship which bind the two
communities.
He dwelt on the work of the Cham
Der of Commerce in this city in help
ing the citizens of Imperial Valley,
often anticipating their needs and TAX
ing action before a request had been
received.
"The citizens of Imperial county
have always shown the highest appre-
citation Of what San Diego has done to
assist them in realizing their ambi-
tions,' said Heilbron. "and they never
fail to reciprocate when occasion
arises
Tribute was paid by the speaker to
the spirit of optimism which prevails
among residents of the valley
They are not down." he said "and
neither are they discouraged. 1t is
impossible long to keep down a great
producing center like TIE Imperial
Valley
There is nothing after all like the
ties of friendship to flatten mountains
and other minor obstacles. 1t is the
duty of every San Diegan to do all he
can to assist Imperial Valley. BY do
ing so we are not merely aiding 4
community to solve its
own business and social problems, but
we are rendering a service to our

WASHINGTON, April 9.--Thc peo-
ple of the Imperial Valley are more or
less familiar with the Boulder Creek
dam project. 1t is for the extension of
the most gigantic irrigation enterprise
ever undertaken by the government
and the people.
The Boulder Creek dam is to rise to
the unprecedented height Of 500 to 600
feet, between granite abutments rising
to a height of 1000 feet above the
water surface. The proposed struc-
ture will be higher by far than the
worlds highest dam at present-the
Arrowrock dam on the Boise river in
Idaho, which measures 34S feet-and
will top the other famous dams in the
United States, among the highest OF
which are:
Shoshone, on the Shoshone river,
Wyoming, 32S feet; Elephant Butte,
on the Rio Grande, New Mexico, 800
feet; and Roosevelt Dam, on the Salt
river, Arizona, 200 feet.
Everyone in the valley knows the
wild rampages of the Colorado river.
Like huge elephant with a body over
seven states, it swings it trunk
through the soft silt of the delta, un-
comfortable at flood time, destructive
to canals and levees, and threatening
out of control at all times with the ut
ter destruction of the soft agricultural
lands of that inland empire. The fight
in 1905 when the river poured itself
into the Salton sink is still green in
the memory of all; and the constant
fight since then by the Imperial lrriga-
ton District is as familiar as the sun
and the moon and the stars.
The Laguna dam built in 1909 has
resisted flood waters to some consider.
able extent, but it has not prevented
broken levees and washed out canals

dam and build the All-American higf
line canal to irrigate greater acre

Enclosing letter of appreciation

HUNDREDS GATHER
FOR M'CUNE'S SALE

That Imperial Valley people know
and appreciate real values when they
see them and that they also have the
money with which to buy them, was.
amply demonstrated this morning
when hundreds of shoppers gathered
in front of the MCCune Furniture store
waiting for the doors to open at 9
o'clock.
The attraction was the big furniture
and household goods sale that have
been advertised during the past week
to be placed on sale today in the big
"Ordcred Sold Sale The crowd was
good natured and jolly and was not
impatient when they had to stand in
line to wait their turn to get inside
the big store.
Everything without reserve, from
bedsteads to phonograph records, had
been slashed in price until everyone
recognized tn unusual opportunity
offered for securing household furn-
ishngs at economy prices.
Mr.. McCune said to a Press repre-
sentative, Yes, I'm glad we have the
merchandise and that we are really
able to save our customers hundreds
of dollars on their furniture purchas-
es.' We need the money all right but
III getting it we feel that we are rem
dering a genuine service to our big
family of patrons.
"The furniture sale that we are now
conducting will go long ways to-
ward bringing prices to a permanent
lower level in the future"
