AMERICAN LEGION IS
AFTER SLACKERS

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 10 The
father of his country probably would
turn over in his grave if he could see
the name of one George w. Washing
ton on the latest draft evader list sent
out by the government. To corral the
more than 100000 slackers at large in
the United States is part of the 1922
program of the American Legion, but
| it does not promise to be an easy
task.
Another listed member of the Berg
doll fraternity is Hoa Hum, whoev
IDENTIFY was too tired or bored to join
up. Charles Kaiser might have been
excused for family reasons, but he
didn't even show up before darft
board. Another listed is Sam Browne,
who displayed no desire to wear the
belt.
An especial effort probably will be
put forth to capture one Ton Mix, who
would have added vim and vigor to
the war had he participated. Grover
Cleveland johnson had more sympathy
for Bergdoll than he did for the late
president. /!
VIM. johnson, whose addresswas I
given simply and clearly as "Tight
Alley probably got in. and couldn't
get out Rudolph Linck, gone without
a trace, is surely enough the missing
one.
Maj. Gen. Harris, adjutant general
Of the army, has recommended that
appropriate $250,000 to pay
rewards of $50 for each draft desert
er delivered to the military authori-
ties. Many posts of the Legion, on
the trail of slackers, have signified
their intention of collecting the re-
wards and using the money for the
relief of needy or disabled ex-soldiers.

BOOTLEG BOOZE ON
WRECKED BOAT
United Press Leased Wire

SEATTLE, Jan. 19. Prohibition
enforcement agents were on the way
to Astoria, Oregon, today to take
charge of 100 cases of whiskey found
on board the forty foot trolling, boat
E. of W., which was wrecked between
Fort Candy and Northhead last Mon
day night.
The two men who were in charge of
the boat lost their bearings and ran
her ashore. The liquor, which is
valued at something like $500, boot
leg prices, was turned over to the GUS
toms collector at Astoria.
Assistance was sent to the vessel
from the coast guard station at Fort
Candy and when the life savers found
what the cargo was they seized the
wreck and arrested a man who gave
his name as William Morris of Seat
tie. The other man escaped. The E.
of w. was formerly member of Seat
ties fishing fleet.

WILL GIVE VALLEY A GOOD
PAPER

Our good neighbor, perhaps we
might say our cousin, the Riverside
Press, has this to say of the consolida-
ton Of the Press and Progress and of
prospects under the new ownership:
"The Imperial valley is to be con-
tgratulated on the purchase this week
of the two Ell Centre papers by River
tsiders. 1t mears that the great in
terror valley, rich in resources as the
VALLEY of the Nile, will havesa truly
representative paper.
Gross L. Hammond, who will be-
come editor of the combined Press
land Progress, will bring to his new
task years of successful newspaper
experience. During his residence in
Riverside he has proven himself
consistent and persistent booster of
Fhis home city. He led the drive for
the new community hospital, putting
/ the project over in manner that was
a matter of wonder and surprise to
other Southern California cities. He
has done fine work as member of
| the Southern California fair and bank
Idirectorates and on chamber of COM
lmerce and other committees. AS first
president of the Kiwanis club he made
that organization a real power in the
city. And Mr.. Hammond has couple
of valuable assets in the persons of
his two sons, LeRoss and Howard.
LeRoss is assistant to the. advertising
manager on the Press and Howard
will graduate from Pomona college in
time to get the full benefit of sum-
n1er's warming up in the Imperial
valley. Both boys will have positions
on the Press, as the combined papers
will hereafter be known.
''H. w. Hammond, business mama
ger of the Press, will be associa ted
with his brother in the new enter
prise, and his record as vice-president
Of the National Bank of Riverside,
president Of the Security Investment
company and manager of the Liberty
ranch gives assurance that the new,
paper will be established on sound
financial basis. NJ. J. Westerfield,

SECTION OF WILSON DAM

Major General Beach naturally
transmitted the offer to the Secre-
tary of War, Mr.. Weeks. Naturally.
then, the Ford offer" came on ito
be examined This was a period
of considerable strain for the Muscle
Shoals enthusiasts. Under examina-
tion the "Ford offer" turned out to
be not exactly as the press agents
and the optimistic Mr.. Hoover had
described it. 1t did not exactly
take the white elephant off the
Governments hands. Not imme-
diately. 1t required the Govern
ment to spend upwards Of $50, ,000,-
900 ofnew money at Muscle Shoals.
Afterwards Mr.. Ford was willing to
take it off the Governments hands,
but not before. He also was willing
to pay back about half the new in
vestment Of the Government, pay
it back in time from the earnings
of the property after he began to
operate it.
Mr.. Secretary Weeks, having been
abusiness man before he entered the
Senate and later the Cabinet, did
not noticeably share in the growing
enthusiasm for the Ford Offer" He
pointed out the amount of new money
that would be required from the
Government, and expressed doubt
as to whether or not Congress would
be willing to provide such sums.
For 2 time there was a visible
cooling off, even in Southern. en-
thusiasm, for the Ford offer," re-
sulting from these disclosures. The
official promoters Of Muscle Shoals
quickly took this in hand. They
pointed out that great and preda-
tory interests were opposing Mr..
. Ford, opposing even Muscle Shoals
and anyway, they said Mr.. YFord's
offer would doubtless be quickly
modified They thought, in fact.
that Mr.. Ford would come mag
unanimously 10 the rescue and bear
the entire expense from his we'll
known surplus earnings from the
manufacture of E9rd automobiles. :.
!, Enthusiasm in the South recov-
cred rapidly. Chambers Of Com
merce which had already provided
funds for carrying on the campaign
/, in favor, OF, the Ford offer" provid-
ed more funds. The campaign Of
the press agents was renewed and
augmented.
Mr.. Ford, it was announced, would
go to Muscle Shoals and with him
take Mr.. Thomas A. Edison. the
great inventor.
Expectations from this visit ran
mountain high. 1t was anticipated
that { important announcements
would be made during the visit.
Sheffield and Florence, Alabama,
were prepared for the occasion.
The schools were closed. The
houses and stores were decorated.

COMMUNICATED
Editor Press:

Editor Press:
/ Many times in my life i have seer
more rain than fell in Imperial valley
since Christmas but never have / seen
more mud. When asked the question
how are the roads between Ell Centro
and Holtville 1t was always answered
"There are no roads," 1t has been al
most two weeks since the last rain
| fell, but it would be UNUSUAL to travel
that road now and not see car, truck
or wagon mired down. We were hap
py one day when notified that there
would be crew of road men working
the next day, and 10 and behold! the
crew was there-one man with a
spade, filling some of the deep ruts,
only to be mashed down by the next
passing truck.
One day the Stage driver said to
miss some of the bad road we could
try the road via CaleNico, then the
next day we came via Imperial. Any,
thing was better than the road pass
ing the Evergreen cemetery.
Now people of Ell Centro, if you
have any respect for the lives of the
number of people who travel from
here to Holtville, you will see that
is done to the roads be-
tween here and Meloland. 1t is actual
y dangerous to travel over them. My
opinion amounts to little, but l con-
slider it disgrace to the people of
81 Centro and Imperial county to sit
dly by and tolerate such conditions.

Mr.. Henry Ford's proposition to
have the Government pay for the
completion Of the Wilson Dam and
other improvements he desires the
Government to make at Muscle
Shoals before turning the property
over to him with 100000 twenty
dollars bills" issued for the purpose,
mas fallen like pail over Southern
enthusiasm, until recently at a high
pitch in favor Of the Ford offer"
The whole thing is rather tragic.
For many, many years the South
has been the scene Of recurring
hopes that the water power re-
sources of the Tennessee River at
Muscle Shoals would be developed,
A good many years ago an effort
was made to have the Government
develop this water power in connec-
ton with the Improvement of the
navigation of the Tennessee River.
Congress, however, failed to author
ize it. Then the war came on and
the Government needed nitrate
supply. 1t was impossible to wait
for power until a dam could be built
but by an order from IAN authority
than which there Is none higher"
tae nitrate plants were located near
Muscle 3hOals, provided with tenn
pGrary power, and the building Of
he power dam in the Tennesse ee
Muscle Shoals was begun. The
ccpes of the Southern enthusiasts
seemed about to be accomplished.
But then came the armistice. The
nitrate plants were mot needed. The
appropriation for the construction
york was running low. Application
was made to Congress for funds,
bat funds were refused. The work
on the dam ceased. An effort to
induce the Government to run the
nitrate plants making fertilizers
there failed. Muscle Shoals seemed
dead. t-'
But, the Southern promoters Of
Muscle Shoals would not accept de-.
feat. They conferred. They can
vassed.. They organized. They hit
upon plan.
Their plan was not altogether
original. Others were ,doing,it. The
plan was to have the Government
sell Muscle Shoals to Henry Ford.
The proposition was skillfully pre-
sented. Mr.. Ford was interested. He
addressed to. the Chief of Engineers
of the United States, Major General
Beach. proposal relating to Muscle
Shoals. This proposal was widely
circulated; press agented in fact.
The press agents stated that Mr..
Ford was willing to take the Muscle
Shoals white elephant" OF the Gov
ernment's hands. Mr.. Hoover said
it was q most encouraging offer.
The hopes Of the Muscle Shoals en-.
tausiasts began to rise again. Muscle
Shoals seemed after all not dead.
Imperial Valley press., 1922-01-19

The .p6pulace turned out. There
were little girls in white dresses
carrying flowers and 6remen on
parade and bands and bunting to
receive Mr. Henry Ford and Mr..
Thomas A. Edison and the new an.
nouncements about Muscle Shoals!
And then the blow fell. The new
announcement sbout Muecie Shoals
was that there would be no modi.
fication Of the "Fosd offer" as orig.
inaIIy made and that Mr.. Ford
would ask the Government to issue
100000 twenty dollar bills" to
pay for the Improvement Of the
property to be turned over for his
benefit.
That was and is the tragedy OF
Muscle Shoals.
The South has no illusions abou.
100000 twenty dollar bills. II

.paign in 1896 with it's candidate

all there is to know about debasing

The owner and editor of the Mont
gomery Advertiser, until the paper
money announcement, Ford Offer
enthusiast, officially threw up tbs
sponge. On the front page OF lis
paper in black faced type he said:
"Henry Ford will not get
Muscle Shoals, and it will be
unfortunate for the South and
for the country at large because
he does not get it. That is a
prediction which The Adver-
tiser correspondent ventures to
make, and makes it with regret.
Ford's offer, if accepted, would
be of inestimable benefit to the
American people, but he is ac.
companied here by Alan L. Ben
son, one time Socialist candi.
date for President of the United
States, and apparently, the press
representative of Mr.. Ford"
Though the sponge has thus been
officially thrown up as to Ford and
Muscle Shoals, the faithful still
have hope. They realize the true
|. significance of the Ford offer, and
they know now what they did not
at first realize that there are thou-
sands Of adventurers in the country
who would jump at the opportunity
{ to get Wilson Dam under the terms
proposed by Mr.. Ford, since these
terms practically constitute gift
from the Government Of millions OF
dollars that has already been spent
and which must be spent. H.
n There Is justification, too, for the
hope that after the press-agenting
is over and the dream talk has been
cast aside that the Wilson Dam will
