CITY URGES CARE
IN USE OF WATER

Owing to extra work which the
Irrigation District finds it neces-
sary to do on the bitches and can
ais in Ell Centre, City Clerk John
S. Loofborouw advises that no

France and England
Act Together
by United Press Leased Wire

LONDON, Dee. 1.-THE standard
of living for a generation would be
lowered if England cancelled repair
ations and allied debts due her and
simultaneously paid the United
States, Premier Bonar Law declared
in the House of Commons today.
In Il statement to the house on
PREPARATIONS, the premier declared
Germany is near Nomplete collapse
and that the allies must be careful
that their demands do not partici-
pate a crash.
BonaI Law urged caution as far
as occupation of the Ruhr was con-
cerned.
He declared there was no hope of
solution unless France and England
acted together. The premier declared
it was impossible for England to pay
the United States if reparations and
allied debts to Great Britain were
ito be cancelled.

PLANES COMBINC
GULF REGION IN
HUNT FOR AIRMEN
IS Airplanes Join in
Greatest Manhunt
of Desert
Possibility Men Still
Live If Plane Fell
Near Gulf

NOGALES, Ariz., Dee. 14.-The
desert seems to have swallowed Col.
Francis Marshall and Lieut.. Charles
Weber and their plane without a
trace.
In the neighborhOod of 50 planes
are now securing the desert for the
missing men, but thus far not the
slightest indication of their where
abouts has been found.
But thus far the largest and most
efficiently organized manhunt i'll
the country has failed in its mis-
sion, and the desert continues to
guard its secret.
Plans today were being made to
fly over the region of the Gulf of
California, between Lower Califor-
MIA and the mainland of Mexico.
Reports were received here late yes
terday that a mysterious plane was
seen last week flying over the
mouth of the Colorado river.
The country around the Gulf of
California is among the widest and
most unpopulated on the North
American continent.
There are no railroads, telephones
or other forms of communication,
and scarcely any wagon roads. The
shores of the gulf are dotted with
sparse settlements of Mexican or
japanese fishermen but the desert
and mountain stretches inland are
practically uninhabited.
If the aviators fell in this dis
trict and were uninjuired, there is a
possibility that they are still alive,
provided they have been able to OBJ
tain sufficient food and water.
There is also a possibility that the
plane fell in the gulf and the two
airmen drowned.

NickersOn on Way
East Speaks to
LA. Business Men

Modification of the Swing bill in
order to secure an appropriations for
flood control dam was advocated
by j. S. Nickerson, president of the
Imperial Irrigation District, at a
dinner given Yesterday at the Hotel
Alexandria III Los Angeles, by; the
Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce,
to a party of Imperial Valley BUSH
ness men and ranchers. Mr.. Nicker-
son expressed the opinion that an
appropriation for $4,000, 900 for the
construction of the Boulder Canyon
dam and an All.American canal
would be difficult to secure, and
the people of Imperial Valley should
turn their efforts to securing ade-
quate flood protection by the con-
structiOn of flood control dam, for
which he believes an appropriation
of S25 100000 can be obtained.
About $50 people sat down to the
sumptuous dinner, prominent items
ON the menu being Imperial Valley
grapefruit and lettuce, which made
a big hit with the Los Angeles folks,
who were loud in their praises of the
Imperial Valley products.
Following the dinner, John ID.
Fredericks, president of the Los An
geles Chamber of Commerce, well
coined the valley people and assured
them that Los Angeles is with the
valley in every respect. Touching
upon the Boulder Canyon dam, Mr..
Fredericks stated the Los Angeles
Chamber had not endorsed. nor OPP
posed any power propositions reia-
five to the dam, and he believed the
various details connected with the
building of Il dam would eventually
work themselves out to the salts
faction of all.
Los Angeles Wants Dam
Charles Stern, vice president OF
the First National Bank of Los An
geles, assured the valley folks that
Los Angeles is solidly for a dam at
some point in the Colorado river,
which will protect the valley from
floods, and has passed resolutions
endorsing the building of such a
dam.
In addition to Mr.. NiekeEson, II.
II. Clark aud l.. M. Hutchinson OF
Calexico; j. j. Farmer of Calipatria;
j. 7. Coyle of FL Centre, and Will
liam Lowther of Brawley, responded
for Imperial Valley and assured the
Les Angeles chamber of the good
feeling existing between the two
communities.
A feature of the dinner was the
singing of Christmas carols by
quartette composed of Constance
Balfour, Harold Proctor, Frank Gei-
ger and Alice Lohr.
Those present from Imperial Val.
ley were James Burke and j. V. Van
Warme, INLAND; j. j. Farmer, CALI
patria; II. w. Cuff, j. $. Nickerson,
p. Mansfield, and w. II. Lowther,
Brawley; r. n. Shacklett, Imperial;
d. A. Leonard, Il. M. Hutchinson,
and IL. II. Clark, Calexieo; Clifford
Coggins and j. T. Coyle, III Centre;

Action Now

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,

w. Va, Dec. 14.-Immediate action
on prohibition enforcement was pro-
posed by Governor Parker, Louisi-
ana, as governors of states gathered
here today for three-days' confer
Anticipating a proposed parley in
January, when President Harding
will discuss with them the question
of enforcement, many governors
backed Parker in his stand.
Many governors were critical of
the President s plan for n meeting
utives on the question of prohibit
ton, processing to see an attempt
to "pass the buck as one express
ed it.
Declaring prohibition as at pres
ent administered farce, Parker
has prepared "a concrete program,
the main points of which are. under
stood to be:
Amendment of the Volstead
act to permit beer and light wines.
2.-Imposition of heavy penitenti-
airy sentences ON persons who VIC
late the Eighteenth amendment of
the Volstead law with respect to
hard liquor.
He is of the opinion that the pres
ent system Of filming bootleggers and
Others arrested for prohibition viola
ton is futile, that public sentiment
does not support prohibition enforce
ment as now administered, and that
the states should not wait until Jan
nary, when many governors will be
occupied with sessions of their legis-
latures, to formulate their program
of cooperation hith the federal gov
eminent.

Bond Market
n GUAsc =. WEST
tCsugsigAs. 1897

New York, Aug. 29.-The out
standing incident in today's bond
market was the prompt recovery in
the French government and NUM-
cipal issues which had been SO
weak in Mondays session.
French TVS got back to 81 as
against s5A, the extreme low OF
the preceding day. The s per cent
loan was likewise stronger. The
municipals and Department of
Seine rs all rallied about two points
and the Paris, Lyons and Mediter-
ranean IS and Framerican Indus
trial Development Corporation rail-
lied over point. United Kingdom
5hs fell below 10S for the first
time in a fortnight. With soldier
bonus legislation hanging in the
balance the Liberty bond group did
little one way or the other.
Greater New York Traction bonds
were active and strong. INTERIOR
pugh Rapid Transit Is advanced
over a point to their highest for
the year. The per cent bonds rail-
lied after yesterdays weakness and
the Manhattan As jumped over two
points for a new top for 1922. The
latter move was founded on the in
dications that enough deposits of
Manhattan stock had been secured
to insure the carrying out of the
new plan governing relations be-
tween the Manhattan Elevated and
the marlborough Rapid Transit.
Third Avenue adjustments also
continued in demand. The transit
securities in general reflected in
their movements the conviction
that nothing would come Of the
radical Hylan plan for municipal
ownership because it was far too
expensive and in other ways i'm
practical.
Public utility bonds were as much
on the favor as some of the public
utility stocks. American T. & T.
IS had an upturn of over a point
and established a new high for the
season. North American Edison
company IS also went ahead. The
general run of high grade railway
bonds we're not much changed and
there were few new highs. Pere
Marquette So and New Orleans,
Texas & Mexico incomes were
among the features. The ST. Pauls,
Fries, Missouri. Kansas & Texas,
Seaboard Air Line and Frisco is
sues became firmer and there was
an advance in the New Haven de-
bentures.
Announcement will be made Of
the Offering tomorrow of $4,000, 900
J per cent first mortgage bonds OF
the Martell mills, to be put out by
syndicate at 1856. A banking
