RANCHER TELLS
CANAL OPINION
Says All-American Pro-
ject May Defeat
Boulder Dam

Joseph Simons, of Los Angeles
and the Imperial Valley, one of the
big ranchers in the Brawley-West-
! morland section, was in San Ber-
nardino recently, en- route to
the valley, spending the night
at the Hotel Stewart. Years
ago Mr.. Simons was prominent in
the politics of Los Angeles and
Southern California, but now he has
become one of those dirt farmers
that more or less is said about in
the papers, although his voice does
not compare to that of Senator
ManguS johnson, nor his ideas
either, so far rs a San Berrardmo
Sun reporter was able to discover.
But he has some positive and
rather original notions on subjects
now before the public, particularly
with reference to the Colorado
River. and he says that if the all
American canal is insisted on as a
part of the Boulder Canyon dam
bill introduced by Senator johnson
and Congressman Swing, it will re-
suit in the defeat of the entire
measure.
"Imperia1 Valley has its troubles,
many of them, but perhaps the
worst is the specter of possible
flood that will destroy us, and notn
ing but the Boulder Canyon dam OF
some other dam will relieve us of
that danger. We must have it to
;rs,,.o o,,, f,,4,,, -,;1 NJ, S;,,o,e
But when the all-Amcrican canal
is attached as rider on the dam
bill, it simply loads it down and |
do not hesitate to say that the in
tercSts urging the canal would be
quite as well pleased to see the
entire measure defeated.
Says Interests" Are Selfish
''ThcrC are q lot of land and cor,
porate interests on both sides of til.
international boundary whose lands
can only be irrigated by means OF
the all-American canal. They care
for nothing else. Their interest is
speculative. If they get the canal,
they make it big They are willing
to sacrifice anything to bring ina;
about, and by means of powerful
allies they are able to make it ap-
pear that the land owners of the
Imperial Valley are likewise inter
ested in the all-American canal,
when as matter of fact the farm
ers are interested only in dam that
will check the floods, that will also
develop power, some of which will
come into the valley, and the most
of it come into other parts of
Southern California, and last Of all,
in reduction of taxes, which our
district scheme makes tremendously
heavy. The all-American canal
means nothing at all to them.
But it means the defeat of the
Boulder Canyon dam measure. See
retary Hoover, in public address
in the valley last year, made that
explicit statement. He told US that
we might get Congress to stand for
the construction of the dam, but
that it would not authorize the con
struction of this canal. But they
paid no attention to Hoover. Unless
Southern California wakes up, the
bill will be defeated, we Will get no
dam, and the Imperial Valley will
continue to face its ancient enemy,
the unchecked Colorado River.

CINCINNATI, o., Dec. 81
Sun sposs, held by scientists
to be great whirlpools on the
surface OF the sun, are respons-

DIR. Louis A. Bauer Of Carnegie
IrStitute, told the American as
sociation for the advancement
of science today.
THE variation in the amount
of electricity in the atmosphere
is attributable to these spots,
Dr.. Bauer said. "And the cleo
tricity in the air often throws

Unreasonable weather was
