The triumphant mental and physical
assault made upon their problems
by the first Imperial settlers in the
face of most trying discourage
ments constitute an epic in the his
tory of California. With all this
they radiated an optimism and enth-
usiasm which enga ged the interest,"
of others. More men of the same
sort flocked to the valley and it
prospered.
''Such was the situation at the
time of the flood 1t was still the
situation during the period of the
receivership which followed the
wild rampage Of the Colorado River
into SaltOn Sea, occasioning the
bankruptcy of the California Dew
clopment Company, whose vision
had launched the Imperial under
taking. Then the politician appear

than the flood. The end of the re-
ceivership came and the beginning
of the fretful years of turmoil,
discord and costly blunders.
For the receivership il may be
said that, with all its limitations
making it necessary for needed im-
provements to pause, it yet achieved
an administrative efficiency which
has not since been equalled in Inn
perial Valley. The flood landed the
sources and main arteries of the
Imperial irrigation system in the
lap of +. III. Hartman, perhaps the
greatest organizer of his time. II
the politician had not intervened
Hartman had no way out but to
work the thing out and we should
have seen Imperial Valley enjoying

Indebtedness against its land for
irrigation purposes and its material

efforts of an organization which
would have included every traffic
director and ticket agent in the
whole Southern Pacific system.
'The politician took charge. He
has maintained himself in power by
playing upon the preiudices of tho
people and keeping them divided
into factions over nonessenti;.ls. He

L. A. Times In
Attack on NeU
Water Charges

The following editorial, printed
in the Los Angeles Times Monday
morning has excited considerable
comment, TO say the least, among
valley residents, and is herewith
printed in full for those who may
not have read it yesterday:
POLITICAL MIsMANAGEMENT
Perhaps it was too much that
q section of The State so extraor-
dinarily blessed through the bOun
ties of nature should be equally
fortunate in the quality of it's per
sonal leadership. Imperial Valley
would be too happy if man contrib
uted through q wise direction of its
enterprises and Il prudent husband
ing of its resources in proportion
to what God has done in setting the
foundations of prosperity. blow
ever, it seems to many who follow
the course of events in that corner
of California that Imperial Valley
has suffered from mismanagement
of its affairs rather more than it
deserves, for the failure of the
human factor is doing much to off
set Or destroy what nature has done.
''The Imperial Valley was born
of imaginative private enterprise.
Under its aggressive management
and stimulating Influence there was
attracted to the desert as sturdy
and alert Il body of pioneers as ever
undertook the reclamation of II
wilderness. Added to those hardy
qualities of character was IN un-
usually high order of intelligence.
Such was the fascination and ro-
nance of the adventure that in the
early days it was no uncommon
thing to find men and women of
worldwide travel and culture oc-
cupying the tent shelters of theiE
"'half sections Almost Any neigh.
borhood could have organized its
university club and Emsrson and
Shakespeare were 10 strangers in
shacks guiitless of bathtubs.
''The enormous difficulties of
the situation did not daunt such
people. They were able to look
undismayed upon a square mile OF
desert and never finch at the ap-
palling labor involved in laking
in hand a shovel or scraper and
moving every square foot of it's sur
face from the place where it lay
to some. other spot. They were n
curious ana inquisitive people. The
intelligent experiments of those
early days uncovered the possibili-
ties of all the agricultural enter
prises which have come to success
ful fruition in the fullnes of years.

DeWindt Ruins
His Chance for
Probation Here

Following the systematic search
Ct prisoners and cells at the county
Jail yesterday, conditions resumed
their normal aspect and with Har-
ry De Windt, whom it is charged
made the key that nearly resulted
in a wholesale delivery of prison
ers Sunday night, in solitary con
finement, no further trouble is ex-
pected.
De Windt is really the only suf-
ferer as a result of his act, for he
has destroyed any chance he may
have had for probation. The mon
ey he was accused of taking from
the Irrigation District has been re-
placed, and the way was being paw
ed for the young man to be given
another chance. After Sunday s
eseapade alls chance for probation
as far as De Windt is concerned
has faded away.
The ingenuity shown by De Windt
in making the key from an alumi.
mum comb leads Officers at the iail
to believe that it was not his first
work along this line. The key was
cleverly cut with a safety razor
blade, and the sheriff is consider

Since coming to the Jail, mail
which De Windt has received leads

he assumed the name De Windt fol

Valley Route to
East Ignored by
Touring Column

Once more an opportunity has
been taken by the secretary of the
Chamber Of Commerce; to correct
the belief existing in certain com
munities that the road from Imper-
ial Valley to Yuma is impossible.
This time his attention was at
tracted by letter in a. Los An
geles Sunday paper, in which one
~. A. 81 of Fullerton made in
quiries relative to routes between
Los Angeles and the east. Frank
Randall, who conducts an "Auto
Touring column for the paper, out
lined two routes to be taken for the
east bound and west bound trips,
but said nothing about the southern
route through Imperial Valley. He
admitted, however, that the traveller
would be likely to encounter snow
on one of the routes he outlined.
Secretary Coyle has written let
ter to 81. A. 81 telling him of the
safe, all-year-round southern route,
through Imperial Valley to Yuma,
and has forwarded a copy of the
letter to Mr.. Randall for his future
guidance.

|. A. MAYOR SAYS
OUR VALLEY IS
MARVELLOUS SPOT
Eager to Cooperate in
Any Way to Boost

Owing to the continued i'll
ness of his young son, it was
impossible for Mayor George E.
Cryer of Los Angeles to make
the trip over the Irrigation
District system which was -
scheduled for today.
The mayor and his party left
this morning for San Diego,
where they will rest for a few
hours before proceeding to Los
Angeles.
Marvellous and astounding
were the words used by Mayor
George E. Cryer of Los Angeles, in
describing his impression of Imper-
ial Valley, according to his isecre-
tary II. H. Kenney. Due to the sud
den illness of his young son at the
Barbara Worth hotel last night, it
was impossible for the mayor to
personally give an interview to the
Press, his anxiety about the young
ster making it necessary for him to
stay at his bedside.
This is Mayor Cryer's first
visit to Imperial Valley" said his
secretary, despite the proximity to
Los Angeles. The mayor has al
ways expressed desire to see the
valley at first hand, but has never
found opportunity to do so. When
the congressional party visited Los
Angeles last spring, Mr.. Cryer
heard them talk in such lavish terms
of Imperial Valley that he made up
his mind he would visit this won
derful valley at the first opportuni-
ty. While familiar with the gener.
al scheme Of Boulder Canyon dam,
and the development of the valley
he wished to be familiar with all
the facts and decided several weeks
ago that he would take this present
trip as part of his vacation.
Astounded at Valley
"The development of Imperial
Valley is one of the most remark
able chapters in the history of Cal
ifornia. The mayor has been as
founded at the productivity of this
wonderful valley, which only two
decades ago was q barren waste. To
day we visited many parts of the
valley and saw the large areas un-
der cultivation. Yet larger areas
will be needed, for Imperial Valley
must keep pace with the rest of
Southern California, which is grow
ing rapidly. Los Angeles, and other
urban communities will have to de-
pend upon the valley for their
fruits and vegetables, and as they
increase in population, and the de-
