TODAY'S MEETING
HEARS REPORTS
Will Fix Date for Merger
at Next Session of
Water Board

The board of directors OF lmperiai
Irritation district, at their regular
monthly meeting today, beginning at
10 o,clock. transacted routine business.
Among other things coming before
the board was a report submitted Ny
Engineer Carberry of his recent "TRIP
bv boat. down the Colorado, through
Pescadero cut and other places OF the
delta. The results of this lnvestlSa-
ton of conditions were recently gwen
through the columns of the Press. The
opinion expressed by Chairman Nieker-
son and assented to by other members
of the board was that the general con
dition of the outlet is good, that the
cut has worked well in this test year
but that inasmuch as the channel is not
securing properly at the point OF the
diversion dam and in some other places
the valley is by no means free from the
possibility Of flood. The report was
placed on file.
Recommendation for some necessary
work on the canals were made by Engi
neer Carberry, but the board took nc
action for the reason that it desired
not to burden tax payers more than is
absolutely necessary at the present time
David Vencil, president of District
No. 7, presented communication ask
ing that the board allow that district
a portion of the proceeds of bond sales
now in hand so the district may pay
some of it's most pressing obligations
The request was filed temporarily.
1t was stated through Secretary Me
Iver that at this session the boar'
would make every effort to fix a plan
and date for the formal transfer o.
the shares of the several water com
panies to the irrigation district. Thi
work will be completed at the earlies
possible moment, so the water compan.
members may readjust their businos
as soon as il can be done.

MRS. NUMIE SCOTT
PASSES AWAY

Thursday evening the community
was given sad shock when the news
of Mrs. Numie Scott's death was
chronicled on the street.,
Mrs. Scott had been in poor health
for the past two weeks and last Sun
day evening took turn for the worse
She was rushed to the hospital in this
city and everything possible was done
to save the life of the young woman.
The death of Mrs. Scott is indeed
very sad on account of the fact that
she leaves beside her husband three
small children TIE youngest being only
a little over a .Jear old and the eldest
four years old.
Mrs. Nun1ie Scott was born Decem-
Der 9th 1894 at Miles City, Montana.
She was married to Mr.. Numie Scott
in Plentywood July 18th, 1915. To
this union were born four children
one little girl dying at the age of
two years.
The funeral will be held Sunday
and interment will take place in the
Plentywood cemetery.

Chicago, Sept. Taking one of
+bo most drastic steps ever attempted

no,ornment today obtained a tempor-
s 81, federal order restraining striking
e ";jroad shopmen, their offices and af-
fiiated bodies throughout the country
from from interfering in any way whatever
With With the operation Of the nations
i"IT The restraining order, hearing on
which was set for September II, was
issl1ed "sar bv Federal Judge James Ell.
W;ikerson, upon the petition of United
States Attorney General Harry NJ.
Danohertv. who came here from
Washington to argue for the action.
The order enjoins until the hearing
all railway employees, attorneys, ser
wants, agents, associates and all per-
sons acting in conjunction with them
from in any manner interfering with,
bidering or obstructing railway COM
nanies. their agents, servants or en-
nloves in the operation of their respec-
tive railroads and systems of transpor-
tation of the performance of their
mblic duties and obligations in the
transportation of passengers and pro-
perty in interstate commerce and the
carriage of the mails, and from in any
manner interfering with employees en-
gagged in inspection, repair, operation
and use of trains, locomotives, cars,
and other equipments and from at
tempting to prevent any persons from
freel entering into or continuing in
tire employ of the companies for the
purpose Of inspection, and repairing
Of locomotives and cars or otherwise.
The underlying principle in
volved in the action, the attorney
general said in concluding his
argument for the order, is ''the
survival and the supremacy of
the government of the United |
States"
Declaring that his request was not
aimed at union labor, the attorney
general said that the step was neces-
sary to the preservation of the unions
themselves. At the same time he as
serted that the government expected |
to use its authority to prvent the labor
union from destroying the open shop.
''When the unions claim the
right to dictate to the govern
ment and to dominate the Ameri-
can people and deprive the Ameri-
can people of the necessities of
life" he warned, "then the gov
ernment will destroy the unions,
for the government of the United
States is supreme and must en-
dure."
