ATEN OFFERS TO
SETTLE DAMAGE
suit FOR $500
Stipulates Money Must
Be Spent on County
Roads

President Ira Aten, of the Impe-
rial Irrigation District, has unof-
ficiallv made an offer to the board
of supervisors TO settle for $2500
the suit which the latter has brought
against the district, claiming dam
ages of $4,000 done to bridges and
culverts by an excess amount of
water being sent Gown the New and
Alamo rivers this spring,
The offer carries the condition
that the money is to be devoted to
road improvement in the county,
principally on the Holtville-Yum
road.
In making the offer, which it is
understood will be rendered official
ly to the supervisors at Monday s
meeting, Mr.. Aten makes it plain
that the district does not acknow-
ledge any liability, and the offer is
made solely in the best interests of
the taxpayer. If the supervisors do
not see fit to accept the offer, the
district will carry the fight through
the courts, which will mean double
expense to the taxpayer, who in the
end, must foot the bills for both
the district and the supervisors.

New Brewery Is
Doing a Rushing
Lot of Business

The news that the product of
the new Mexicali brewery was be
ing sold yesterday, flew through
the valley like wildfire, and the
thirsty nepheWs of Uncle Sam
swarmed across the line to get re-
lief from their Mexican cousins.
1t was a good sized Schooner
that was being dished out too, and
the price was considerably less than
formerly. A"
Whether there is any moral in
it or not, inquiry among the bar
tenders elected the informatio
that very little "hard stuff'' was
being sold, and the customs men
at the line stated that men under
the Influence of liquor were scarcer
yesterday than for some time. The
ma jority came across the line. had
two or three glasses of beer, and
returned to this country in less
than half an hour.
1t is understood that the official
opening oi tne new brewery VIII De
celebrated on Sunday when eXcur-
sions from as. far as Arizona and
valley points will be run. FIee beer
will be dispensed on that day and
a big barbecue is another feature
that will attract crowds. IN o;her
words, the owners of the brewery
want to make it Il free forall oc-
casion that they claim will be long
remembered in the valley

WORST OF CAR
SHORTAGE OVER,
CLAIMS. RUNGE
453 Cars o rd e e d,
Only 337 Were
Furnished

Conditions are rapidly becoming
adjusted with reference to the car
shortage, said G. w. Runge, dis
trict freight and passenger agent of
the Southern Pacific Company this
morning. Orders placed for today
amounted to 453 cars, and of this
amount, 337 were furnished. REEF
ers' are being brought into the
valley as rapidly as it is possible
to do so, and in Mr.. Runge's opin-
ion, the worst of the shortage is
over.
Picking dropped off considerably
yesterday, due to the lack of cars,
and thls has relieved the shortage
somewhat.
Arkclian and Company, who
brought suit against the railroad
company last Monday, for failure
TO deliver sufficient ears to move
their pick, are now receiving plenty
of cars, according to Don c. Bitler,
attorney for the company. The
hearing on the application made by
Arkehan and Company for a per-
manent injunction against the rail
road company, which was schedul-
ed for today, has been continued
one week at the request of the rail
road company.

DAVIS OUSTI In G

Inquiry Into ''Whys"
of Case

BUTTE, Mont, .une 29.-Protests
against dismissal of Arthur Powell
Davis, head of the reclamation serv-
ice, after more than 40 years in the
government s employ, were brought
to President Harding's attention
here today. The president declined,
however, to discuss the matter, say
ing he knew nothing about it and
that Secretary of the Interior Work
was the man to talk to
Work, asked why Davis was dis
charged, said:
"He handed in his resignation. -
He angrily denied charges that po-
litics caused the dismissal but ref
used TO tell why Davis was removed.
'Then he was not dismissed ?"
Work was asked.
Reclamation Commissioner Swan
son of Idaho, who has just return
ed from Washington said the sup
planting of A. p. Davis by ID. w.
Davis, former Idaho. governor, was
a move to bring about a business
service TO cut red tape and save
administration in the reclamation
money. Swanson said that D. w.
Davis, although not an engineer, is
a business man who can put eff
ficiency into the service.

President Ira Aten and members

this morning for San Diego, where
they will confer with Mayor John
l.. Bacon and members of the Bould
er Canyon Dam Association, relative
to methods for creating favorable
opinion among the cities and organ

Another matter which will be
brought before the meeting is the
question of employing Arthur p.
Davis, recently director of the
United States Reclamation Service,
as consulting engineer for the Bould-
er Dam Organization, and the Irri-
cation District. An offer to act
in this capacity has not yet been
made to Mr.. Davis according to
Frank McIver, secretary of the Ir-
rigation District. Mr. Davis was
asked If he would consider such an
offer if made to him. and replied
that he would certainly be glad to
entertain such proposition. Wheth-
cr or not a definite offer will be
made him, may be decided upon at
today's meeting, Mr.. McIver said
Congressman Swing who is in San
Diego, will attend the meeting.

W. 7. BILL, VALLEY
PI0NE Err TALKS
OF EARLY DAYS

The regular weekly Chamber of
Commerce meeting was held today
and took the form of reception iii
honor of Mr.. w. II. Bill, of Red
lands, one of the pioneers of I'M
perial Valley and the founder of
FL Centric.
Mr.. Bill gave one of the best
talks on the early history of FL
Centre it had been the privilege of
anyone present to hear. His talk
was replete with anecdotes touching
on the humorous phases of the
pioneer days as well as some of
the tragedies.
OF particular interest was the
description of FL Centro's first
paved street which consisted of
two carloads of oil being put on
the road that extended from the
depot to the main canal. This street
attracted people for miles around.
This oil was bought by Mr.. Bill i,
Los Angeles and gave FL Centre its
first claim of being city.
The FL Centre hotel was the
1lrst real building put up ana ON
that corner now can be found the
first stake that was driven to es-
tablish the grade of the city. Here
is the corner where Mr. Bill de.
posted Jasper Travers and his
tool kit. In fact Mr.. Bill assisted
Mr.. Travers in carrying this tool
kit from the depot.
Mr.. Bill predicted much greater
things for the future of Ell Centre
than have been accomplished in the
past and has never lost his faith in
it or Imperial Valley. Due to
next Wednesday being the Fourth
there will be no meeting. The regu-
lar luncheon will be held again on
Wednesday, July IL.
