that the cause -neNef would be made
known due to havoc wrought by the
fall aud fire and the death of thirty
four officers and men, he said "we arc

THE PRESS AGAIN
EXEMPLIFIES
VALLEY LEADERSHIP

The complete superiority of
the Imperial Valley Press over
any other newspapers in the
county was strikingiy exempli-
fled Tuesday.
The Press full leased news
wire Of the great United Press
Association brought to the col
umns of this newspaper the com
plete and graphic account of the
disaster which befell the colossal
United States dirigible Roma.
But one other newspaper in
the Valley carried any report of
this terrible accident at all, and
that paper published but the
meagerest account of the dis
aster, while The Press carried
over two columns.
The Press leads the way with
the only leased news wire i'll the
Valley, the largest staff OF train
ed newspaper men, the greatest
circulation and the best advertis-
ing medium. Truly
