LOS ANGELES, November 3.-'
Arthur +. Davis, former L. S. re-
c!amation service chief and inter
national authority on reclamation
work, will go 20 Washington as of
ficial representative of Los Ange
les TO support the Boulder Dam
water and power project, it was
learned here today.
Official confirmation of Davis
employment by the public service
commission is expected by the coun-
ell and it is thought Imperial Val
ley will also commission Davis to
back the Colorado river plan when
the. matter comes before congress.
At the Irrigation District office
today it was stated that an offer
to become consulting engineer was
made to Davis some time ago, but
that no definite understanding has
as vet been made with him. Be
cause of his familiarity with the
Boulder Dam project. his services
are highly desirable, it was stated,
and if satisfactory financial ar
rangcment can be reached, he will
undoubtedly be retained by the Irri.

be given the same compensation as
that reported to be paid him by

NATIONAL. EFFORT
TO HAVE FREIGHT
RATES LOWERED

That Imperial Valley is not
alone in it's wish to see freight rates
lowered was fact brought out by
l.. G. Lee, of the American Fruit
Growers, Inc. and member of the
board Of directors of the Imperial
County Farm Bureau, who today
discussed the investigation of this
subject being started by the Ma
tional League of Commission Mer-
chants of the United States.
Acting through r. S. French,
general manager and secretary, the
league has petitioned the Interstate
Commerce Commission "with view
to relieving the fresh fruit and
vegetable industry from the appar-
ent excess burden which it is now
carrying under existing freight
charges.
In view of the fact that approx
imately 100000 ears of fresh fruit
and vegetables are shipped annually
in the United States by members
of the league, the request of this
organization for Il scientific and
economical analysis of the entire
freight rate structure of the nation
for the purpose of lowering the
rates on these commodities should
have considerable weight.
With such agitation as this and
with the knowledge that lettuce
shippers of this valley pay $15 more
per car than growers in any other
part of California, and cantaloupe
growers $50 more for the transport
alton of their commodity to eastern
markets, slightly shorter haul
from here than from other Califor-
MIA points, it would seem that, the
local producers have good cause for
argument with the carriers.

DECLARE PAIR
HEADED SOUTH
ARE DESPERATE
Officials, Here , Looking.
For bad Men, of
~ SiskipOu Co.

Bill Hard and Randolph Emo,
wanted for alleged murder in Sis
kiyou County, are believed to be
heading toward the Mexican border,
and Sheriff Gillett has received a
telegram from the sheriff of the
northern county, asking that a
strict watch be kept for the men.
Accompanying the description of
the murderers is warning for
peace Officers to take no chances
with them. as both are considered
desperate and are known to be well
armed.
Hard is described as 10 years old,
five feet 10 inches in height, with
medium brown hair, thin face and
blue eyes. He was wearing a gray
cap and gray corduroy trousers.
Emo, also known as Bill Black
and Frenchie' is described as 80
years old, wearing heavy black
beard, high topped riding boots,
moleskin vest with leather sleeves
and a high Texas hat with hair
band.
The men are travelling in Stud
ebaker ear bearing California Ii
cense plates 333, 700 and are equip
ped with shotguns. They are charged
with shooting Fred Skeen, 20 years
old, while he was asleep on Thurs
day night in a ranch house in Sis
kiyou county, 20 miles north of
Yreka. Hard and Emo had been
interrogated by Sheriff Calkins of
Siskiyou county regarding the blow
ing up of the Southern Pacific train
in the Siskiyou tunnel on October
| and it is believed Skeen was
killed to prevent him from giving
information about Hard and Emo
to the sheriff.
The telegram received here stat
ed the men have been in this coun-
try before, and for this reason it
is thought they will try to reach the
Mexican border through this see
tion.

Here's Proof That
Times Are
Better

More than four times as much
was collected on November /,
in assessments by the Imperial
Irrigation District than On the
first day in any previous year,
according to Charles Barry, asses
sor for the district. Current
collections amounted to 1,52O.
76, and delinquent assessments
to S1,503.94, a total of S13,-
O24.7O.
Thaddeus White of Calexico,
who operates a ranch near the
ten foot drop, made the first
payment of assessment for this
year early Thursday morning.
Whites first ms t a | m n t
amounted to $3.50.
The unusual increase in first
payments is very gratifying to
the district officials and Barry
points to it as an indication that
the valley is recovering from
the postwar slump in a very sat
isfactory manner.

NEW YORK, Nov. Ser am
sure the American democracy win

With this confident prediction on
his lips David Lloyd George today
turned his face homeward.. In an
exclusive interview with the United
Press he spoke of the future and
what it will bring to the United
States and to the world. America,
he said, holds in its hands not only
its own future but the future of the
rest of the world. America 8 rec
ord is a record of decision ON the
right side-on the side of human
liberty, of fair play and of justice,
he said.
And then he repeated thought
which he expressed last night in his
farewell speech at the Metropoli-
tan Opera House.
America must insist, Lloyd
George said. 1t is not enough for
the United States to suggest. IT
others will not accept suggestions

about getting the European situa-
ton settled on a basis of justice
and not of vengeance.

What impressed Lloyd George
most9
Power-your tremendous, almost
unsuspeeted power-your virility

We are just beginning over here,

He looks ahead to time when
Canada will have 300,000,000 inhah-
itants and the United States many,
many times its present population;
when America shall come into. full
flower--and that time will come the
sooner if America now finishes the
work of Justice and democracy un-
selfishly begun in 1917, he believes.
What win he say about American
prohibition when he goes home!
II shall say, this with a merry
twinkling eye-"th | discovered

Does he expect to be returned to
power in Great Britain9
A hearty laugh answered that.

here a month ago, were scheduled to

AS Game Starts
With Riverside

With large crowd of spectators
and Il number of enthusiastic root
ers on the side lines, the football
game between the Junior College
and the Riverside huskies was just
getting interesting at the time of
going to press.
The Riverside squad includes a
bunch of heavy men, and probably
their aggregation averages ten
pounds more per man than docs the
local team. The I'll Centro boys,
however, were full of pep and Il
determination to conquer which,
coupled with the speed of Smith and
