MEXICANS SEIZE
DISTRICT OFFICE

Mexican authorities seized the I'm
perial Irrigation District offices in
Mexicali, drove the night watchman
off duty, and closed warehouses of the
district for several days last k, de-
manding $4,000 gold in payment for a
fine assessed on contracting firm
formerly doing work for the district in
Mexico, it was revealed today by a di-
rector of the district.
For some time employees of the dis
trict were locked out of their Offices
and it was only after considerable eff
fort that they were allowed to remain
and attend to the business. of the dis
trict.
Demands for the insurance policy on
the districts properties in Mexico in
lieu Of the gold demanded, were made
by the Mexican authorities bu this re-
fused. Finally after several days the
district Officers consented to deposit
the money demanded until hearing
could be held in the matter.
The district claims that it does not
owe the money. The fine was assessed
nearly year ago because machinery
and other equipment of the contracting
firm had not been removed from Mex
leo, where it was taken under bond.
The property was confiscated but later
released and the fine assessed. De-
mands were later made that the dis
trict pay the fine.

Company Aids With
Valleys Finances

A message that will add materially
to the spirit of Thanksgiving among q
| large number of Imperial County farnl-
ers was received yesterday by y. ~.
| Thomas and Harry II. Kelly, local
! agents. and by the Southern Trust and
Commerce Bank, Imperial County fiscal
| representative of the Missouri state
| Life Insurance Company, of st. Louis.
uIu connection with farm loans we
are making in the Imperial Valley, we
| will release water stock to borrowers
| when water companies have been taken
| over by the Imperial Irrigation DIS
trict," said the message.
Short, concise, and without any
strings or qualifications, comes tins
| message that will gladden. the hearts
and put new hope in the lives of many
local farmers who have struggled
through the last two years OF depres-
sion, and have reached the dawn of
new era of prosperity for the tiller of
the soil. They may be in debt, but
this message of the big corporation
which largely controls their cconomical
destiny will prove conclusively to them
| that all is not sordid, and that the new
era really has arrived.
This action by the Missouri State
Life Insurance Company means That AL
the water stock, pledged by borrowers
on farm mortgages as additional sccur-
| itv for the money furnished by the big
Missouri corporation, will be turned
over to the borrowers so that they may
| receive the liquidation funds direct
| from the old Mutual water companies,
and use the money as they deem best
in rchabilitating their lands and fnanc-
ing operations.
Coming into the valley at a time
when little or no money was being
placed in new loans, and in one of the
darkest economic periods the local
farmer had ever known, the Missouri
State Life Insurance Company has
within the last few months loaned sew
cral hundred thousand dollars, enabling
| many farmers to take a new lease on
fife and begin operations anew at Il
point where profitable farming again
was in sight.
owe do not claim any eXtraordi-
nary credit for our local activities,
declared the local agents of the com
panv in turning over the message for
publication. ''Imperial Valley is all
right now and we have all sorts OF
confidence in its future, or we would
not be here. 1t is good business, that s
all. -

Visiting Artists in
Musical Concert

Harvey Hndermycr, the popular
tenor, and the Damn Sisters will be
presented in recital at the high school
on Friday evening, December s, under
the auspices of the Imperial Valley
Hardware Co.
Following his marked success at
Aeollian Hall, New York, Mr.. Hinder
myers engagements throughout Amer
lea have been frequent. He has a
glorious tenor voice and will include in
his program here several southern
songs which he interprets extremely
artstically.
The Misses Damn are three charming
young ladies of marked musical abil-
ity which makes them favorites wher-
ever they appear.
1t is reported that Mr.. Hindermyer,
at this recital, will attempt the seem
ingly impossible feat of singing a duet
with himself.
Those in charge of the concert refuse
to divulge just how, it will be done,
but predict a pleasant surprise.

cording to Mr.. Kaufield, the roadbed
will be rolled If or Is times before it
is ready for the concrete.
The latter operation is expected to
start about the middle of next week.
1t is estimated that $50 feet is good
daily average for pouring and at this
rate the work should be completed in
from 20 to % days. Immense piles of
sand, crushed rock and cement have
been placed at the El Centre end of
the pavement, and once the work of
pouring concrete commences, it can be
pushed ahead rapidly. Following the
pouring period, the concrete will be
inspected by the state highway com
mission when this is done, the high
way will be open for traffic.
The height of the pavement above
the adjonging fields, and the bitches
ON either side. will prevent the high
way from becoming flooded with sur
plus water from the fields and elm
mate the seepage which raises such
havoc with pavemcnts.
The completion of the highway will
mean pavement practically all the way
from Ill Centre to Imperial and Braw
lev. Evidently it is only question
of a short time when there will be
pavement through from CaleXico to
Calipatria. The new pavement will
mean increased travel between lmpcr-
ial and .El Centre and with the cs-
tablishment of operating headquarters
of the Irrigation District III the formc
| city, will be greatly appreciated by
officials of the district who will b,
called upon to make frequent trip
between the two cities.

the opening of the new state high
way between FL Ccntro and Imperial,
according to +. NJ. Kauficld, foreman
of tire j. +. Knapp Construction Com
pany,' in charge of the work of build
ing the new highway. When completed
the highway will be one of the best in
Southern California, according to the
foreman, and from the present out
look, il can be seen that it will be
unique among highways in this section.
The pavement proper will be 90 feet
wide, and inches thick in the center,
with an Is inch shoulder on either
side whore the pavement will be :
inches thick. On either side of the
20 foot highway; there will be should
crs 10 feet wide, making a highway
40 feet in width, which will average
Il height of one foot above fields on
either side of the road. From the IL
foot shoulders TO the edge of the ad
joining fields, there will be II gradual
slope, forming a ditch approximately
10 feet lower than the center of the
pavement. To the observer looking al
the highway in its present unfinished
state, these bitches seem to Offer
splendid opportunity for automobile
drivers to take a nasty spill, but ac
cording to Mr.. Kaufield, when the
road is completed this danger will no
loom up so menacingly and 40 foo

Ex Senator Cole, past his
Tooth year, tel!s of part
he played in Lincoln's
Administration in West
ern Railway Problems.

Although past his Tooth birthday,
Cornelius Cole, successfully Congress-
man and United States Senator from
California In the days when the Union
Pacific and Central Pacific railroads
were being built, recalls as If 1t were
only yesterday the details OF those
epochal undertakings.
And he is the living orroboration-
IL corroboration be needed - Of the
United States Supreme Court in its
recent decision that it was the inten-
ton of the founders Of those railroads
and of the lawmakers who made them
possible that they should be operated
as one continuous line between the
Pacific Coast and the Missouri River
without discrimination against each
other. He speaks as member OF the
committee of 13" of the House of Rep
resentatives, which drafted the Pacific
railroad legislation passed in Con-
gress in the early COS. He says:
ut was the intention of every mem
ber of the committee of 49, and it is
so stated in the legislation under which
the roads were constructed, that the
two lines should be operated as one
continuous railroad and that neither
should discriminate against the other. y
Now that the Supreme Court has
ordered the Southern Pacific to divorce
the Central Pacific, former Senator
Cole is confidently hopeful that the
original purpose in constructing the
Union Pacific and Central Pacific will
be carried out in accordance with the
desires of Abraham Lincoln, the friend
or his early manhood. Besides being
strongly in favor of upholding the de
cision of tho Supreme Court, he be
lieves that the people OF California
generally are of the same view.
In addition to his close friendship
for Lincoln, whom he accompanied to
Gettysburg on the occasion of the IA
nous Gettysburg address, the cen
tenarian lawmaker has another claim
to intimate interest for Californians,
He was one of the original incorpora'
tors Of the Central Pacific railroad.
At that time he was an attorney in
Sacramento. AS '49er in the new
frontier country he early became con-
vinced that the development of Cali
fornia rested on its connection with
the East through railroad Transports
ton. Consequently. he became one of
the enthusiastic promoters OF the pro-
posed railroad and was among those
instrumental in bringing the project
before Congress.
As a result of the efforts OF Cole and
his associates. Theodore II. Judah was
sent to Washington in 1851 and sue
