BUILDING

The national building outlook for the year,
cordng TO builders in various cities is good The de-
mand for homes office buildings and other structures
continues great ever and may be years before
the "saturation point is reached. No frenzied boom
is expected but the country will probably absorb all
the building materials and labor available at prices
somewhere around those Of last year There is ample
money for financing in most sections.
Negotiations with the trades unions have start
ed" reports representative of the builders in typi
cal city, land there was time when labor lead
ers showed tendency to cooperation. There
will be serious tieup, because labor doesn't want
a fight any more than we do"
He adds, however; production remains our big
problem What shall profit contractor hire all
the labor in the world, if it fails to work?'
1t is the view of builders generally that this
big drag on the industry at present-workmen do
expect to do anywhere near much work in day
they used to. and they could do without hardship,
though they better paid than ever before This is
the biggest factor in making building so costly. IL
keeps up rents and makes it harder for people gen.
erally-most of them workmen-to own their own
homes

to get the little piggie boy who was
ut the hollow stump school.
Imperial Valley press., 1924-01-15

Now, as it happened, all the ether
animal boys and girls who went to
tie hollow stump school had brought
umbrellas with them, for il had
looked like rain when they started
from home. Floppr was the only
one who had not an umbrella.
So when the time came for school
TO close for the day, the Lady
Mosse teacher saw that all the ami
nal children could go safely home,
snug and dry, under their umbrellas.
Al, but FlOppy.
"Oh, Floppy, my dear little pig

the school.
"That's s too bad" squeakcd the
Lady Mouse. "Well, YOU may

she hoped she wouldn t need to d.

A VALLEY UNITED

Who said the valley is divided on the matter of
the Swing-Jo Johnson bill?
He surely must be that he is laboring under
misapprehenson if he has followed the happenings of
the last few days.
The quick and splendid success with which the
Farm Bureau met in raising $500 initial sum to
send its president @. C. Webster to Washington to
full Testimony to the fact that Imperial VALLEY resi-
denis want the Boulder Dam and All-Amercan canal,
and willing to dig down in their pockets to help
put it
Manager Jenkins Of the Farm Bureau is author
y for the statement that he confident much more
money could have easily been raised for the pur
pose. This is certainly in contrast to the money
raising campaigns have been familiar with in the
past, where the quotas either sadly fell short of the
mark or where stringent nerveracklng methods were
necessary to pull them
Other evidence that a community are
strong for the movement is shown by the liberal dona
tions being made by local business men toward the
American Legion fund to send Elmer A. Heald back
to Washington the legons representative. The le
gion to be commended its determination to send its
and the fact that Heald has already been to
Washington and knows the ropes will make his et-
forts in this direction all the more valuable.
Spontaneous and liberal is the way would label
the responses in this fight to put legislation
that literally means life to the valley.
All the internal strife is forgotten for the time be-
ing in the larger need for cooperation among all in
divduals and all bodies of Imperial Valley in this, the
most vital issue ever confronting this reclaimed desert
The lying propaganda that has been disseminated
outside county confines that the average Imperial
Valley citizen is either lukewarm in his attitude or
downright antagonisc toward certain portions of the
bill is certainly refuted by the developments of the
past few days

TROPIC VALLEY FOUND
 IN ILLIAMNA REGION

What is described as a veri- table Garden of Eden with an almost tropical cline has been discovered by Jack Lee and Hank Russell, oil prospectors, in the district south of Moth CT Goose Lake in the Kejulik valley in the Illiamna Lake re- zion, according to the Valdez Miner. So different is this val ley from the surrounding coun- try, owing to its being warmed by subterranean fires, that the discoverers at first found it diff ficult to believe they had not been transported to some trop- ical cline. The district is com posed chiefly of volcanoes, mountains, tundra lakes and low lying hills, and is barren of all vegetation, except moss and scrubby alders and scanty patches of grass and is rough and inhospitable, save in the remarkable valley. Coming over steep mountain pass some 1700 feet in height, the men were astonished to see an unbroken forest in the valley before them. Descending they found trees about two feet in diameter and vegetation far in excess of the surrounding dis trict. Wild flowers carpeted the lush grass and on every hand game was found. Several varieties of trees grow in the valley, including spruce, hem lock and cottonwood. No ev- 1idences were seen that any other human beings had ever trodden the faStness and the game was so tame as to be a nuisance at times. It is believ- ed by the discoverers that the valley, which was named Eden. Valley, is warmed by the near proximity of subterranean fires and that the lofty surrounding volcanoes have kept trappers and others away.
