nit Kliegel to take part in tennis,

claring the timekeeper allowed the
game to run over time, in which
period the Brawley team made tn,
winning score. Imperial asked the
game be reversed but after argu-
ments were presented, consented tc
play again for the game. FL Centre
was selected as the place for tho
game.

ment of finals. Other dates will

In the superior court this morn
ing, Judge Franklin j. Cole dis
missed the petition of J. J. Ortega,
charged with the murder of Mike
FOrnaserO at Meloland, January =,

accordance with the law which re-
quires that such petition must state
whether or not any previous peti-
ton has been filed, and if so, the
disposal of same. In announcing
his decision to. dismiss the writ,
Judge Cole stated that he did so
without prejudice, therefore enab-
ling Attorney Wilbur Randall, coun-
sci for Ortega, to file another petit
ton. R7@e
Asked if he intended taking such
action, Mr.. Randall stated that he
most certainly would, and that an
other petition would be filed with
Judge Cole this afternoon.
District Attorney Utley stated
this morning that he would release
Ray Ramshaw and Vasquez from
custody today. Both have been
held for investigation in connection
with the Fornaser murder and the

fled that they had no connection
with it.

which is scheduled for tomorrow,
may be postponed, according to the
district attorneys office, though

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Jan. "a
Fire of unknown origin today

Colonization
Scheme Backed
by Water Body

The endorsement of the plan pro.
posed by the recently organized I'm
perial County Development Board
for the putting into pool under OPP
ton Il large acreage of Valley lands
and the creation of colonization
movement was endorsed bv the
board of directors of the Irrigation
District
Representatives of the develop
ment board appeared before the dis
trict board and explained the pur-
pose of this public welfare organi
alton. 1t was shown that through
the plan proposed Imperial Valley
could be brought to n more stable
position as relates to farm land
values and the reaction would help
all lines of business.
The following is the Irrigation
District boards endorsement:
RESOLVED that we, the board
of directors of Imperial Irrigation
District, do by these presents en-
dorse the work of the Imperial
County Development Board in its
undertaking TO promote Il movement
for more intense cultivation, there
by increasing the population of I'm
perial Valley, and will lend its
moral support and assistance in
every way to expedite its achieve
ment.
The general acceptance by the
public of the program outlined by
this new development board Is con
vincing proof that these public
spirited citizens have struck popu-
lar chord. The committees ave re-
ceiving hearty reception by those
land owners who have land for sale
and especially those who are strug-
cling along, carrying more land
than the recent cramped times will
justify. 1t is evidence of great
faith in the valley that many of
these owners have not abandoned
their holdings long ago. All such
enthusiastically welcome this cquita
BILE means of unloading a portion of
1t now under such favorable con
Sitions.
1t is believed that placing of
farmers on 40 and 80 acre farms is
gong to be comparatively easy
task. Many land owners are volun-
teering their options without solici-
tation to the Committee and it has
/ been suggested by the Executive
Committee that every interested
resident appoint himself commit
tee of one to boost this plan to his
neighbors and urge them, if they
wish to place part or all of their
land for sale that they offer it at
once.
One prominent land owner, who
is one of the most successful farmers
IN the valley, said that while none
of his land was for sale, that he
was going to subscribe twenty. five
cents per acre to the advertising
fund for he was for the plan. and
he owns many hundreds of acres
of Imperial Valley land.
