WATER DIRECTORS SEEKING
CHANGE In HIGHWAY ROUTE;
TRENTHAM TAKES HIS SEAT

! and assured them it will be his ef-
fort to work in harmony with them
for the best interests of the district.
The petition of Rosie A. Bohn of
Los Angeles for an adjustment with
the district on 1907, 900 worth of dis
trict bonds which have been lost,
was acted on by the directors. The
bonds disappeared two years ago,
having been lost by her husband
ana though careful watch has been
kept for the coupons, which might
be cashed by the person holding the
bonds, only one has appeared in the
two years and it was impossible to
trace this one. After discussion with
Attorney Childers, the directors de
cided that they will pay Mrs. Bohn
the interest on her bonds as they
come due, and made the suggestion
that her attorneys institute an ac-
ton in the court to have the dis
trict issue new bonds to replace
those which have been lost.
Wish Court Action
The directors wished to go ON
record rs being willing. to
do anything within their legal
power to protect investors in
district bonds at all times,
and assured Mrs. Bohn's attorney
that they will welcome court action
to authorize them to issue duplicate
bonds.
Engineer Carberry made a report
on the condition of the flume over
New River, which has become worn
in several places. Tne fiume was
built in 1915, and though it has
withstood the ravages of time eX,
ceedingly well, the severe strain
placed on it during a storm last yeal
loosened several bents and it will
be- necessary to make general re
pairs. The extent of these will be
investigated by Mr.. Carberry and
:, report made to the directors.

In a resolution passed by the
board of directors of the Imperial
Irrigation District yesterday, the
State Highway Commission is re-
Guested to change the routing of the
highway which now calls for a
straight diagonal running in a south
easterly direction from the lowline
canal. This routing, it is claimed,
will cross ranches and irrigation
bitches, making it much more ex-
pensive than the route which is pro-
posed in its stead.
This latter route would 60 south
from the point of intersection at
the lowline canal to the present
travelled highway running east to
the pavement. The route requested
will follow section lines and will not
disarrange irrigation systems. 1t
will also require fewer structures,
most of which are in at the present
time, will follow section lines and
will also utilize one mile of pave
ment which has already been con
structed by Imperial County. The
route as layed out at present trav-
erses sparsely settled country,
whereas the proposed route will
serve many more people and prove
materially more advantageous and
beneficial to the people located in
the southeast portion of the valley.
The proposed change has the sane
tion of the Associated Chambers of
Commerce, the Holtville Chamber of
Commerce and other organizations
interested in the improvement of
the HoltvilleYum route.
Trentham Takes Seat
Mack Trentham, newly elected di-
rector from Imperial, took his seat

to a court of impeachment to sit
in trial of Governor IJSC. Walton.

a grand jury from meeting, by q
declaration of martial law.
Lieutenant Governor Trapp arrived

BEATING THE
WEEVIL

We note in daily paper report
from Crystal Springs, Miss, that a
way has been discovered to overcome
the boil weevil. A cotton planter
says the "Argentine ant" will do it.
He planted two patches of cotton last
spring, one in ordinary soil and one
in soil infested with these ants. In
the latter patch he found that the
weevils made no headway because the
ants destroyed them as fast as they
appeared. If this story is verified it
will be found to be worth millions of
dollars to this nation. Well quickly
feel the benefit of it right here in
Julesburg because We are just as de-
pendent upon cotton as are the peo-
pie of any other community, even
though we may not raise it. We have
to use it in many forms. The CAR
gentine ant" report may turn out to
be joke or mistake. Yet it is a good
idea before scoffing it to remember
that most of the means whereby man.
kind has overcome hostile insects and
germs have been just as simple when
once discovered.

TAKING A
CHANCE

Most accidents and a majority of
the financial setbacks which occurred
in and around Julesburg in 1928 came
from taking a chance. Notwithstand-
ing all that has been printed said or
done, people continue to assume risks
without proper consideration of the
odds. We are too inclined to forget
danger until we run into an emer-
gency. We take too many chances
at railroad crossings when driving
autos; we dart about the streets, ig-
noring traffic. We are too quick to
lend ear to the affable gentleman
whose sole stock in trade is stack
of prettily printed stock certificates,
bearing a lot of green and red and
gold ink, yet worth no more on their
face than they would bring as waste
paper. Some buy these as carelessly
as they run their autos-they take
chances-and financial accident
happens. Don't take a chance" is
good, sound doctrine. Experience is
the most costly thing in this country,
and also the most bitter thing you can
buy. And quite often experience is
about all We get out of taking a
chance.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1923-12-27
THE NEW
YEAR

The season of turning over new
leaf" is again at hand-the time for
making New Year resolutions. We
hope it finds a good many Julesburg
people in the position of the old fel-
low who declared that he didn't have
to turn over a new leaf because he
hadn't gotten the old one dirty. And
vet we cannot help but feel that the
making of few additional good reso-
lutions at the beginning of the new
year is beneficial, no matter how
many of the old ones we have faith
fully kept.
We now have another year behind
US, year that has been worth some
thing in experience. In looking back
over it if we see wherein we made
mistakes, we can do no wiser thing at
this time than to resolve to steer clear
of similar ones in the future. If we
look back and see wherein We could
have benefited ourselves and the
community, and yet failed to do SO,
now is good time to resolve to do it
before this year also becomes mat
ter Of history. We are wiser than we
were year ago, we are In better
position to make good use of the COM
ing twelve months.
Resolutions to cooperate more gen.
orally and more heartily in all move
ments for the good of the community
are in order. Resolutions to stick
closer to the institutions Of our home
town are good when made at any
time. But right now, as we enter on
new year, filled with hope and
promise, we can do no wiser thing
than to mentally resolve that if the
community does not prosper in 1924
it will not be because we didn't boost
with all the energy and enthusiasm
we can muster up.
Personally, we take this means of
wishing each and every resident of
the community happy and pros.
porous year. We trust that good
fortune will smile upon you, that you
will be blessed with full share OF
this worlds goods, and that, above all
else, you will enjoy the greatest bless
ing that can be bestowed upon man
kind-the blessing of good health.
