'B5r.ains of Irrigation
Board" DiscussesCr0n-
holm.Rese Recall an d
Washington Trip as Al.
termath of Troubles

Roy D. McPherrin, whose friends
style him as the "brainiest man on
the Irrigation District Hoard," ard
who was one of the men under fire in
the recall movement which The Press
helped to squelch, is out in an inter-
view with his home town paper, The
Imperial Enterprise, in which he
tells some inside things to the peo-
pie who pay the bills.
IN the course Of the interview the
matter of the now famous "messen-
ger boy trip to Washington came
up, and Mr.. McPherrin explained how
1T came that he was sent to Washing
ton at the salary of fifty dollars
day. 1t seems that Reclamation Chief
Davis had requested that repre-
sentative of the Irrigation District
should come to Washington to con-
fer with the Department of the In
terror there and to bring back re
port on the Bollder dam. Upon mo.
ton of Mark Rose, who has since at
tempted the recall of Mr.. Mcpher
rim, the latter was sent.
AS was customary, on trips of this
kind, Mr.. McPherrin was to receive
fifty dollars per day, out of which he
would pay his expenses. 1t was only
some time after the completion of
the trip that anything was said about
the expense Of it.
Mr.. McPherrin stated that he felt
that he was entitled to the money,
that he had earned II, but neverthe-
less if the people of the district de-
manded it that he would return it to
the treasury.
Mr.. McPherrin then took up the
matter of the Cronholm discharge"
1t seems that Cronholm had became
increasingly insubordinate. until at
last he came before the board and
told them he would resign unless he
were permitted to run the affairs Of
the district without instructions from
his superiors. The board told him he
could resign, which he did, and his
resignation was accepted upon the
motion of Mr.. McPherrin. 1t was
apparently a matter of one man be-
coming more important than the
board, and the one man had to get
out.
Mr.. McPherrin then discussed the
proposed recall briefly. He said that
he believed that the most of the crit
icism of his affairs had been unfair
and insincere. He pointed out that
a great deal of the criticism of the
Washington trip had come from the
Mark Rose element, and it was Mark
Rose himself who had moved to send
Mr.. McPherrin to Washington.
Mr.. McPherrin said he should like
to have candid opinion from his own
district, to see whether or not they
wished him to continue to serve
them. In case the people of Imperial
district, uninfluenced by swivel chair
farmers from Brawley or Mexican
ranchers, desired to aDDoint sue
cessor, he would not fight recall. On
the other hand, he said, he believed
that since he had been in office for
six years. he was more capable of
handling the affairs of the district
than he had been when first elected
and for that reason he would be will,
ing to stay in office until Boulder

that is a misprint. because it is not.
Never say listen, but "Litsen." The
Press reporter has some information
to pursey, strange as 1t may seem.
He was shopping around this morning
for any little old story that might
be floating around, and accidentally
dropped into the club rooms.
Over in one corner Baldy Haynes
had a number Of the brothers and
thev were in the midst Of whisper
ed conversation. Perhaps this should
not be told, but one thing that was
rdoverheard was the fact that tonight
is to be open house for all Elks. Fur
thermore, nevertheless, notwithstand-
ing, be that as it may, as we were
about to relate, it was also stated
by "Baldy" that there would BE-
something to eat and something to
DRINK
Just what that something is, is
problematcal at this time. but under
the circumstances it would seem
worth taking chance for, and the
best wav to find out is for everyone
to be at the club rooms this evening.
