GREAT HERD Of
ELK To GATHER
IN MOUNTAINS
Picnic and Barbecue at .JacUu-
ba Next Sunday viii Attract
from Far and Near.

If the flood of inquiries pouring in
on |. A. Thomas, chairman of the COM
mlttee of arrangements of the Elks'
barbecue and picnic, to be held at ia
cumba next Sunday is an indication,
the greatest band Of Elk ever will be
seen at the famous mountain resort
when the days festivities begin.
Net only will every Elk in the VAL
ley with his family and friends be
there, but from San Diego and other
coast points as far north as Los An
geles and from Riverside, San Bernar-
dino and Santa Ana will members of
the antlered herd come. 1t promises
to be the greatest gathering of it's
kind yet pulled off by the local herd
Because of this great throng ex-
pect2d to attend Chairman Thomas is
perfecting his plans for handling the
big crowd in a systematic manner. The
committee will establish headquarters
on the grounds where badges will be
issued to members and their family
and guests. Each Best FelloY will
present his credentials to the COM
mlttee and receive the number he de-
sires, and no one will be permitted at
the barbecue without one of the Off
clal badges.
A great spirit of rivalry is evident
between the members of the various
lodges, particularly those of Ell Centre
and Calexico. in the athletic events
that will be staged during the day. Ell
Centre believes that the prowess OF its
men and women and boys and girls
will be so great that they will cap
ture all of the leading events, but
Calexico is putting on superior air
and making boast that the boYdar
town will show US up in a mos de-
cisive fashion
The prize committee made its re-
port yesterday of the list of valuable
and useful and DESTROYS articles thai
have been donated for the occasion
the List follows:

uted as shown here:

SALT LANDS Of
Valley ARE OK.
FOR DATE PALMS
Experimental Paintings Shoe
Good Results in Soil Be
HcUed TO be Worthless.

J. B. Dudley, who has been accom-
piishing must the past few months in
getting large number of date palms
planted in the valley, has just COM
pletod tour of this part Of the val
ley, and reports himself as very we'll
pleased with the results of the expert
ments he has been making in introduce
ing date palms, especially the expert
ments he and Robert de Luce have
been carrying on at the ranch owned
by the latter.
Last winter a number of offshoots
from selected date palms were planted
on some lands that were close to the
main canal, where there had been a
decided seepage. The soil conditions
were anything but inviting for ordin-
airy ranching and for this reason was
chosen for date palm experiments to
determine the salt resistance of the
trees. The results have exceeded all
expectations as a very high per cent
Of offshoots. not only rooted, but are
now apparently thriving as well or
better than any of the large number
of date palm trees and offshoots which
Mr.. Dudley has planted in different
sections of the valley this season.
1t was through the Investigations
carried on by Mr.. Dudley last winter
that special variety of date palm
was found on the L. f. CNhbert
ranch. a variety which had been
thought lost, following its introduce
ton into the valley. Mr.. Cuthbert now
has 20 offshoots growing from the
variety, all of which are being cared
for under the supervision of Mr.. Dud-
ley. 1t was also through Mr.. Dudley's
plan Of setting out offshoots and car
ing for them that he has been able to
save almost 100 per cent of the plants
this year, record which has not been
made before in the valley.
Mr.. Dudley has q vision Of Won
derful future for date palms in the
Imperial Valley, and his work now is
in endeavoring to get the rancher5 to
set out at least few trees, for the
borders along the garden, if nothing
more, realizing that When the advan-
taees of the valley for growing oates
will become better known a few years
later, there will be very large AGRA
age set out.

Staying Margarita Montoya in Draw
ley.
Mrs. Montoya was standing in the
hall before court was convened when
the Hindu was brought into the build
ing to go to trial. Immediately upor
seeing the slayer of her only daughter
the woman became hysterical and fo,
an hour she was under the care of a
physician. 1t was feared that the
shock might prove fatal because o,
faulty heart action from which she has
been sufferer for some time. She
recovered somewhat after hard bat,
tie by the physicians, and was removed
to hotel where she will remain until
her presence in court is required.
The breakdown this morning may
prevent the appearance of the woman
as a witness against the Hindu, anC
in the event that she is unable to stand
the shock OF seeing the man in the
court room and does not appear as g
witness the prosecution will lose one
of its strongest witnesses, as she was
with her daughter when the Hind,
fired the fatal shots on a Brawley
street more than month ago

IN LEVEE
DISTRICT
Slight Increase lin Flow and
Tenth Rise in Water Level
is Only Difference Noted
in River Situation.

With the exception of an increase
of approximately 5000 second feet in
the discharge of the Colorado river
and rise Of about tenth of a
foot in the water level on the Ockerson
levee flood conditions in Lower Cali
fornia are virtually unchanged today
according to reports from kfidrade
to the irrigation district headquarters
The work of strengthening the Ock-
erson levee is being carried on with
methodical precision, and the lack OF
any appearance of feverish activity
and excitement usually in evidence un
der such circumstsA tends to lead
uninitiated visitors to believe that the
activity around the heading, quarry
and other parts of the river division is
not unusual.
While all of the various cogs in the
district machine are functioning to ca
pacity and every available means is
being eXerted to aid in holding the
flood water from the irrigated lands
behind the big dyke, there appears to
be little lost motion or any activity
that is not absolutely necessary.
There is water along the levee al
most without break from c. D. June
ton to its southern end, but about
Mile 8 IL it is mostly backwater
which does no damage. Between Mile
9 1-2 and Mile 7 IA the levee is well
saturated and considerable water has
seeped through to the land side. In
some places the water is flowing rap
idly southwark, although the river
channel is not near enough to the levee
to prove dangerous. The river channel
is within about 200 yards of the levee
at Mile 7, where the river makes a
big bend and is gradually eating its
way toward the levee. 1t is at thi!
point that General Manager Cronholm
notified the irrigation dista1ct directors
several weeks ago that the most dan
ger exists because of the short dis
lance between the levee and the river
channel. Breaks, if any occur, are
expected between Miles and I IA
the latter point being at the end of the
railroad tracks. Rock is being placed
all along the menaced portion of the
structure, four daily trips being made
by the train of 20 cars.
The guage at Mile IA yesterday
stood at 97.7 while at the weir below
lockwood Gate it showed 1865 feet
above sea level.
Conditions on the Saiz are un-
changed.
