Bad Luck is
Reported in
Fishing Casing

BRAWLEY, March l4.-After ex-
tractin gsomething like $500 feet
of four inch easing, lost several
weeks ago at the Brawley oil well
investigation of the hole today de-
veloped the fact that it will proba-
bly, be unwise to attempt to pro-
coed further. The facts ascertained
today came as disappointment for
after the recovery of so much of the
easing after weeks of fishing it had
been believed that another week
would witness the end of the search
and drilling could begin again.
A special meeting of the directors
was called by President w. f.
Beal as soon as the situation was
learned. Shareholders generally, be
lieve orders will be given to drop
back to the 1900 foot level where
an excellent showing was approved
by Geologist Starke two years ago.
The trouble with the hole is de-
clared to be due to cavity caused
by the premature explosion Of a
charge of glycerine last summer
when an attempt was made to shoot
the well. The explosive company
has been sued.

Predict Best
Poultry Season

CALIPATRIA, March 14.---From
all indications 1928 will be the
biggest poultry season the valley
mas ever known. As the fall sea-
son opens up the turkey market for
the holiday trade, so the spring of
the year is the signal for market
ing thousands of fryers and broil-
ers. Last November and Decem-
Der crate after crate of day Old
chicks, downey bits of fluff, were
shipped in from Los Angeles to
various ranchers in this vicinity,
at prices ranging from $l2 to $lS
per hundred; these same chicks are
now worth fifty to seventy five
cents each, and in view of the fact
that much of the feed they have
eaten during the three months of
their existence has been raised ON
the ranch, the percentage of pro,
fit on the turnover of this 60 or 80
day crop is very gratifying. +. b.
Rowlee has shipped three thousand
young fryers this week with more
to follow. These came principally
from the Purdy and Johnson ranch
on the east of the city where the
surplus milk from the dairy cows
insured the delicate flavor which
has made Imperial Valley milk fed
poultry so much in demand.

No Overtime
Hits Service

CALEXICO, March 14.-Furthcr
ciirtailmcnt Of service at Calexico
postofficc was announced by Post
master Walter Coekiey following re-
ceipt Of letter from the depart
ment forbidding overtime pay to
clerks. "
The local office has been handi
capped since the first of the month
when three extra clerks were cut off
the payroll on department orders.
Postmaster Cockley has been able
to keep the service up to a fairly
good standard in spite of the short.
age of help,by having his clerks put
in overtime.
Now that no allowance is to be
made for extr"time, the local office
will no longer be able to keep up
to previous standards of service, ac-
cording to Cockley.
The new schedule will make it
possible to keep the general dcliv-
cry window open only from one to
five ?. M. and other service will be
seriously delayed.
1t is understood that the local cur.
tailment is merely part of ma
tion-wide policy Of economy in the
postofficc department and that 9TH
er communities besides Calexico are
to suffer.
1t is believed here that the start
ing of carrier service April l will
greatly improve the local situation.

Prominent Jap

CALEXTCO, March 14.-K. Kaw-

severe external bruises in COLI

Joseph r. Rouse.
Kawanami is able to be about

Injuries, however, cannot be told
for several days. Immediate de
velopments of serious character
might not occur, the physicians
say.
Rouse and five other persons on
his truck escaped injury. The five
other persons were Il man, his wife
and three children, whom Rouse
picked up to give Il lift along the
road. The truck was badly wreck

Kawanami drove.
Kawanami was driving east on
the road from his lease on the Dr.
Pace ranch in the Mt. Signal Wet

cabbage. The Ford truck attempt

the two machines locked or the

further to the side of the road to
make clearance for Rouse. The
consequences was that he hurled

his truck was stopped by collision

latter was broken down.
With the violent stopping of the
car against the tree, the big load

Skin Disease

HOLTVILLE, March 14.-W. r.
Cole returned from San Diego after
having been operated on for blasto
myces, skin disease which comes
from cattle. The operation consist
ed of cutting away infected parts
on both limbs. Incision was only
skin deep, but some Of the infected
area was two inches in diameter.
This is the first case that has de-
veloped in the Imperial Valley, and
up to 1917 there had been only 30
eases recorded in the United States.
Since then an increasing number of
cases has been reported from Chi
cago where cattle and cattle pro-
duets form such large part of the
stock handled.
The infection is carried in dust or
dirt where cattle have been. If an
abrasion in the skin gives a chance

Surprise of Life

CALEXTCO, March 14.-Frank
4. Vanderlip, one OF the real pow

upon concluding a tour of inspec-
ton in the valley on both sides of
the border that what he had seen
comprised the biggest surprise in
his life. This was in relation to
the extent Of development that
had been brought about in the com
paratively short time since wrest
ing of the valley from the deser
was undertaken.
Beyond this there was nothing
given ont by the members of the
visiting party or by II. II. Clark,
by whom and Mrs. Clark, the visi-
tors were entertained while here.

ROAD BUILDING
SLOW BECAUSE
FUNDS ARE Low
Efforts Being Made to
Keep Highways Open
for Big Crop

70 HOETVlLLE, March 1.-two
machines started work on certain
, lateral roads leading from the main
highways to darge cantaloupc acre
ages, to prepare for the biggest fruit
season lloltvillc has ever had. Lack
of funds has hampercd the supervis-
Or in the past in keeping all the
roadways in tip-top condition, and
for six months to come only the es-
sential repair and upkeep can be
taken care of, according to Il semi
official announcement.
About $4,000 was turned over to
this district for it's roads when the
change in administration was made
shout two months ago. This was
largely used up in emergency work
during the past month. The only
none yavailable in addition to this
has been that coming in from auto
mobile licenses and certain other
sources, amounting in all to little
more than enough to pay running
expenses.
The expenditures have been cut,
during the M::lter perior, according
to one close to the board, in order
to set aside Il fund for road work
inthe summer months when irrigat-
ing and dragging is absolutely re
quired. One of the machines was
laid off Saturday because it could
not be kept running under the ten
tative budget of the read funds.
Certain roads leading from the
main roads, including the Pepper
and Pomelo, were last week com
planned of by the Thornburs Ryan
Fruit Company, which viii have
about 800 acres of cantaloupes to
ship from this territory. The heavy
trucks, travelling constantly over
the roads, tear thehm down quickly
unless they are packed hard and in
solid condition.
In the absence of G. i. Stewart,
supervisor for this district, Card
Brown, road superintendent, has
met this complaint by sending out
two machines to work over the
roads. The district supervisors have
directed that the most essential
work be handled, and these roads
put into condition for the fruit sea-
son. There then will be 10 obstacle
in the way of the Thornburg Ryan
Company which was stated through
j. s. Dolan, the manager, will send
through Holtville between 400 and
500 cars of cantaloupes this season
If certain roads were fixed
i comparison with the number of
miles of road which Brawley dis
Itrict must maintain shows that the
HoltvilIe and Br&wley district have
approximately the same mileage,
: but this district receives about one
third the funds which Brawley has
at its disposal. In the last distri-
button of funds, figures for which
We're published in January, Brawley
received $4,000 while Holtville re-
ceived only $4,000. The reason for
this is attributed to the fact that
Holtville has been abandoned, but
is now being reclaimed by the drain
age system now under construction
by the Imperial Irrigation District.
The plan of the supervisors is to
ease along on road work, keeping
them in good, but not extraordinary
condition, until such time as funds
can be available. Mrs. Stewart 8
policy is against running up big
bills which cannot be paid until far
! in the future. EXtravagant use of
emoney which is not in sight is not
in line with his ideas of good ad-
ministration.
