Leaguers Journey to
Calipatria for Game

Due to misunderstanding in the
arrangement of games, because no def
mite schedule has us vet been made for
the Imperial Valley Winter League, the
FL Centre baseball team is to play in
Calipatria tomorrow, instead of enter
tanning the boys from the north at the
local club grounds, as was at first given
out.
The Calipatria team numbers among
its members several professionals who
are enjoying the winter climate of the
valley, and as the league rules allow
three professionals to Il team, that
many will be seen in action Sunday.
CLANCY will do the hurling for Calipat-
ria, with Jones on the receiving end.
CLANCY is a former local boy, and takes
particular delight in standing the teams
from FL Centre on their heads, but the
bunch here believe they can take his
number Sunday and are out to get to
him from the start
If everything turns out as expected,
the local team may be able to flash a
new pitcher ON the league for tomor-
row IS game, as "Paddy' Livingston is
still under the weather Ray Ellis is
now trying to complete arrangements
with another hurlcr, but nothing def
mite had been heard from his late this
afternoon.
Resenting the defeat by CaleXico last
Sunday, has put the locals son their
toes, y and they are going to play their
heads off to put the skids under the
northerners.

/. V. Country Club
Plans Big Events
for Thanksgi ing

! Announcement is made of the first
| big event of the Imperial Valley Coun
try Club at Alamorio on Thanksgiving
day. The attempt will be made to

one of the strongest program of races
that has ever been seen in the valley
The program divides itself into four
main events as follows: .
No. IL p .m.--l0 mile auto race,
light ears only, one prize 100000.
No. % p. m.-25 mile auto race,
open to all ears, 81 900 in prizes.
No. $50 p. m.-Football game, FL
Centre VS.. Brawley.
No. Al p. m.-Special auto race 10

ship.
Some of the fastest ears in the valley,
driven by men with racing regulations,
will be seen in action. Included in
these are listed: The big special racing
out to get the S 900 prize; G. f. Cog
gins famous racing Ford which won

series of real races that will keep them
interested from start to finish.
Throughout the entire program there
will be concerts by the 30-piece MeXl-
can band and the affair will be con-
cluded by dance in the evening,
Earlier in the day there will be a
trapshooting match between teams
from San Diego and from valley cities.
The promoters of the new country
club are mkaing a sincere effort to
provide for long felt want in the
valley. Perhaps the valleys greatest
asset, an incompatible winter climate,
has never been exploited. There should
be a touristzcrop the equal of the melon
crop, but this can never be until there
is some provision for the entertainment
of visitors. The country club idea
promises to supply this need. 1t is
worthy of the encouragement and sup
port of every person whose material in
terests are with Imperial County.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

In years past has been the practice of the former
of the Ell Centre Progress which was eonso
datd with the Imperial Valley Press on January l6, 1922
to have a so-caed bargain week. when the subscription
price of the paper reduced third and the sum of
4 accepted payment for instead of the regu
lar price of $6.
The plan was unbusinesske, unfair and in way dis
honest for the that put value on the paper
for week and different value the service for
81 weeks 1t unsettled everyone who paid the regulation
prc of the paper 1t had merit except expedent
to raise little ready money
The Imperial Valley Press is big value at the regular
price. Every week bargain week at $500 by mail
$500 by carrier THERE WILL BE NO MORE $4 BAR
GAIN WEEKS.
If any change is made in the subscription price it is
much likely to increase than reduction be-
of improved service and continually increasing
cost of white paper.
The present subscription price is guaranteed against
a reduction

Mcclure Sees Pact
rs Benefit To
All State
By w. F. MCCLURE
Chief Engineer, California, and
Member for California of the

Member Tor California OF the
Colorado River Commission
A fair and happy solution Of the
problems involved in the matter Of
the use Of the water of the Colorado
river has been reached.
The original natural flow Of the
Colorado river, available for irriga-
ton would amount to about % mil
lion acre feet annual average flow.
The total present use of the south
crn basin is about three and one half
million acre feet.
The U. s. reclamation service has
estimated that the maximum amount
required for the next 40 years in the
lower basin including many projects
Of doubtful feasibility is 100000
acre feet. First, we get under the
compact agreements, eight and one
half million acre feet, which amount
exceeds by more than million acre
feet the outside estimate of the de-
velopment in the southern basin,
made by engineers, and is even more
than has been anticipated by the re-
motest dreams Of our enthusiastic
and hopeful people. To the upper
division is assigned million acre
feet. The balance of six million
acre feet is a reserved deposit which
will be further divided when neces-
sity requires.
The present big thing for all con-
cerned is that the controversy be-
tween the states is settled and we
A. L
with our measures for relief from
flood menace.
The compact clearly provides that
agriculture takes precedence over
power in the use of water.

Appointment; Luera is
Not Presidente
MOIler's Failure to Get
Proof for Charges is
Claimed as Cause
(By Special Staff Correspondent

CALEXICO, Nov. Ex-Governor Lugo
of Lower California has today ordered
| rurales, Mexican mounted troops, TO
guard the city treasury and Mayor
Juan Luera "of Mexicali, b. c., as re-
suit of orders from Otto Moller, de-
posed It's mayo rlast night by the city
council, to his police to attack the new
mayor and sieze the city treasury and
city affairs of the Mexican city.
Clash between the mounted troopers
and the municipal. police under the
former mayor is expected at any time.
Presidente Otto Moller, of the mpni-
cipalty of Mexicali, who was deposed
from office at a meeting of the civic
body when charges of malfeasanee of
office were made against him, and sus-
tanned by vote of the council.
The administration of Moller as may
or of Mexicali has been stormy one,
and many times charges and counter
charges havebeen filed in an effort to
cotnrol the political and administrative
situation in the Mexican capital city.
II 1t is only few months ago when a
break occurred between Moller and his
adherents, and certain interests oppos-
ed to him. which resulted in a display
of arms, and in which Moler gained
the victory aided by Il number of police
who forcibly carried out the terms of
his orders.
Failed t9Prove Charge
As 8; further fight between these fac
tions, Moler, it is said, preferred
charges of treason against number of
citizens of MeXicali, who were placed
under arrest and take nto Mazatlan,
where they were confined for Il period
of about ;t month, mt the end of which
term they were exonerated of the
charges made, and were released.
1t is said that the action of the city
council Yesterday in deposing Moller,
is partly due to the making of the un-
sustained charges which resulted i'll the
arrest of these citizens. /,
Guilermo Il. Lugo, member of the
Mexicali city council, cousin of Gever-
nor lnocente LugoS and one of those
who had bee harvested at the instance,
of Moller on federal charges, was ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy created by
Moller's removal from office.
Lugo held office simply over night
and today Juan Luera was appointed
to serve until the first of the year,
when the presidente to be elected to-
morrow is to take office for full
term.
Mr.. Ybarra, city treasurer of Mexi-
cali who some time ago closed his Off
ces, and turned the affairs of the city
treasurer S office over to the city coun-
ell, was Yesterday exonerated from
charges preferred against him to the
effect that the books of his office were
not correct, and that certain acts of
Mr.. Ibarra had given rise to the story
that he had misappropriated certain
funds MIR. Ybarra demanded an audit
of TN ebooks, which was made, and yes
terday report of the auditor made to
