HOOVER APPEALS
FOR BOULDER DAM
TO HELP VALLEY
Secretary of Commerce in
Talk on Need for Flood
Protection Here

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 50.-lmme-
diate ratification by the seven western
states involved in the recently formu-
lated Colorado river treaty was urged
by Secretary Hoover in a speech before
the Chamber of Commerce.
Hoover declared that flood control
measures to protect the lives of $4,000
and $75 100000 worth of property in
the lower basin could not be under
taken until the treaty is ratified by
the states and the federal government.
"The Colorado river is the greatest
single undeveloped reservoir of the
American people, Hoover declared
at irrigates two million acres of land
from its present natural flow, and when
properly developed can easily irrigate
between four and five millions more.
1t can develop between four and five
million horsepower, and support over
three million more people in its basin.
"Flood control is the most important
factor at present. The river, because
of the deposit of silt in its basin, is Il
constant yearly menace to the people
of the Imperial Valley. 1t is a fight
for their lives and property, and for
the past two years they have been
saved from utter destruction only by
the narrow margin of ten inches of
dyke.
Urges Boulder Dam.
"The only way to develop this great
river, which affects seven states, was
by treaty between the states and the
national government, permitted under
an almost forgotten clause of the con
stitution.
lone of the features of the treaty,
formulated at Santa Fe, is that agri-
culture will always have precedence in
the use of water over industrial acti-
vities. The delegates believed that the
welfare of the people of the nation is
best served by homes under the open
sky, and farms, rather than by crowded
factories under the elimination of such
farms.
"But there will always beplenty of
power-more power than it is now pos
sible to develop in all the rest of the
Sierra watershed put together.
"While there are Il number of the
finest dam sites III the world on the
Colorado river, engineers agree that the
best is the Boulder Canyon site.
"The Boulder Canyon dam should be
built Immediately, and without the
least delay, after the ratification of the
treaty. 1t has been put off for 10 or
II years already, with disastrous re
suits.
''It can be built by the federal gov
ermment for $4O,0O0,000. When com
pleted the dam will be able to impound
all .of the water of the Colorado for
II months. -

TOM SIMS THANKSGIVING

Because trains never run side
ways.
Because we don't like rhubarb
pie.
Because bathtubs empty them
selves.
Because we don't eat tapioca
pudding.
Because Christmas is month
away.
Because water never makes you
sick.
SO, after all, you see how easy it
is to be thankful.
If you are not thankful because
something is, you can always be
thankful because something isn't.
And this reminds us of the man
who needed shoes and was thankful
because he was not centipede.
And the bald man who was
thankful he never needed a haircut.
Which reminds us of the man
who was broke and was thankful
because he had Indigestion.
And the one with the wart on
his finger thankful for the finger,
And the man thankful because
he had a tooth to ache.
But above all comes the man
who was thankful just because he
had sense enough to be thankful.
And that s that, thank goodness.
Imperial Valley press., 1922-11-30

Exactly as was predicted yester
day, today is Thanksgiving.
And serious shortage of things
to be thankful for is reported.
This shortage, however, reminds
us of the auto driver.
The auto driver was thankful be-
cause telephone poles only hit his
car in self-defense.
So here is list of things we are
thankful for this Thanksgiving.
And, if you have thanks short
age, you may be thankful with us.
We are thankful because women
don t chew tobacco.
Because everybody can't sing.
Because Sunday always come on
time.
Because Americs is not in China.
Because night only comes once "A
day.
Because all girls are not red
headed.
Because we can't play golf.
Because all girls are not blondes.
Because we can play saxo-
phone.
Because all girls are not brunets.
Because we can't play auction
bride.
Bcause autos don't eat oats.
Because monographs run down,
Because we don't like garlic.

Valley Schools Will
Establish Precedent

1t is stated that the Imperial County
Board of Education has withdrawn all
elementary schools from the accredit-
ed list until April l when new stand
naugh and Miss Estelle keeler, the lat
schools must conform.
The plan to be followed has been
worked out by Superintendent Fl. c.
Coe and the two rural supervisors ap-
pointed this year, Mrs. Esther Kava-
ter new departure in this county
new departure in this county.
Investigation has shown that few of
the counties of the state have attempt
ed any standard of accreditization. 1t
is said that a movement is on foot on
the part of the universities of the
state to adopt such requirements and
Imperial County seems to have antici-
pated the movement by the plan an
nounced.
Mrs. Keeler states that heretofore,
the university has required nothing of
an entrant in the way of a grammar
school certificate but under the pro
posed plan, pupil will be forced to be
graduated from an accredited grammar
school.
The Imperial County Board has
wiped the slate clean and the new
method will take account of school
buildings and grounds, methods of
teaching and equipment as well as re-
quirements in hygiene and psychology
in teaching, etc.

ALL RECORDS IN
SHEEP INDUSTRY
BROKEN THIS FALL
Thousands of Sheep Are
Brought in For Pasturage
Many More to Arrive
BY Special Staff Correspondent

CALTPATRIA, Nov. 29-Imperiai
Valley has always been a favorite feed
ing ground for sheep which are brought
in by the thousand every fall for the
lambing season. The ewes are then
shorn and both ewes and lambs fatten-
ed for the spring market. This year,
however, all records have been broken
for the number of sheep brought to the
valley for pasturage.
The. BalfourGuthrie company is feed
ing 10000 head on its ranches in this
vicinity for Thompson and Main, of
Holtville, who have $4,000 additional
sheep in ohtcr parts of the valley. w.
b. Coberly is pasturing $500 head and
expects that many more before long.
f. r. Thompson has 1900 head of feeder
lambs which were purchased in the Hol-
brook country of Arizona, and j. w.
Yocum is pasturing several thousand
head between this city and Westmor-
land.
Almost all the sheep pastured in
the valley will go direct to the sham
bles in the spring. The feeders were
all shorn before shipping, but the shear
ing of the ewes is done by local shear
ers who have their own machines. The
shortage of cars has greatly delayed
getting the sheep in, it having been
one month between the time Mr.. Thorn
pson inspected his sheep in Arizona
for shipment here and the time the
cars were obtained for their transport
alton, .sS+s .Nt 4e4S = ss,& tgs ~
Sheep pasture the ground more close
ly than cattle and will fatten on waste
ON uncultivatcd land where stock would
scarcely derive substance enough to
keep alive. The close proximity of
the markets is another desirable feat
ure of fattening sheep in the valley,
as they lose very little weight in ship
ping to Los Angeles while a consider
able shrinkage is usually expected on
long shipments.
Imperial Valley press., 1922-11-30

and it is bound to be of great and last
ing benefit to Imperial Valley.
