Chairman Steele, in his opening
address, stated that State Game
Warden e. Lee Le'COmpte, had
prepared q tentative draft Of q
bill which should be discussed
section by section and passed
upon by the members present
with regard to game and fish
legislation.
Chairman Steele pointed out the
fact that since the fresh water OF
inland streams were rapidly becOm
ing depleted Of fresh water fish, II
was now absolutely necessary that
drastic action should be taken tC

Mr.. Le'Compte was called upon
by the chairman to give his views
on the proposed tentative draft OF
an anglers license bill, but Mr.
Le'Compte strongly urged that the
members present should be called
upon to express their opinions and
suggestions in advance Of his, in
order that he could obtain theil
sentiments for or against the ten
tative draft OF the bill which hs
drew.
Considerable discussion arose ir
regard to a fishing license. The
members thought that in order tt
derive sufficient funds for the
propagation of fish a license fet
should be charged. A member o.
the Anglers Club of Baltimore

was duly seconded, that a separate

Voters of the Eleventh Congressional district may
find something of interest In the following careers OIL
nrominent congressman.
Speaker Joe Cannon, probably the best known OF
onpressman and certainly during his career the most
nowerful served than 40 years before retiring
He was chairman of the committee on appropriations
for MANY sessions and for years was speaker OF the
House.
Champ Clark, speaker of the House, and one OF
Tho oeat congressman in the United States House his
torv served for over quarter of century.
Congressman Mann, Kitchin, Fitzgerald Moon,
Iones Flood Hay, Glass, Webb, Adamson, Stephens,
Henry Padgett, Sparkman, and almost all others who
have become prominent committee members ana
hairmen and leaders in the House, had served more
than ten years before they were recognized among
their confreres.

night that the all-American canal feature of the

Congressman Swing declared here recently that
the all-Amercan canal feature of his bill is not
hindrance to its acceptance but is of the most
anpealing features to members of congress and the
committee to which it taken for consideration.
He read statements from several of the most pronl
nent leaders congress and the cabinets since the
bill was formulated which supported his contention IN
unequvocable terms.
Senator Sample promised to present new bill for
Colorado River flood control if he is sent to Congress-
which will not include an Al-Amerlcan canal pro-

Congressman Swing has done more than that ne
has brought bill to the verge of passage in the House
which not only provides for magnificent dam at
Boulder Canyon as recommended by government en-
pineers but leaves the door open for citizens of the
Imperial Valley to say at later date whether they
want an All-American canal not In his own clear
cut language Congressman Swing has declared: Il
am fighting not to force the All-Ameiican canal on
Imperial Valley merely trying to preserve the
right to build such canal that the citizens OF the
Imperial Valley shall say whether they want 1t or not
Senator Sample bthely spoke OF what ne would

Cal. State Fair
By CONDO

The display of tractors, pumps
farm implements at the 1924 State
Fair will be one of the most COM
plete ever assembled in California.
Every farmer visiting the fair could
profitably spend days examining
the new types and models of trac
tors, improved plows, cultivators,
Jewelers., subsoilers, pumps, electric
appliances, dairy machinery, etc.
Nearly one hundred thousand
square feet is already assigned to
manufacturers of farming equip
ment.
Efficient production of agricul-
tural products depends largely upon
the use of modern labor saving
farm machinery. The State Fair
exhibits offer an opportunity for
farmers to examine in one place the
latest mprovements in all kinds of
farm machines and discuss the ma
chimes with men who thoroughly
understand their operation and ad-
iustment. This is privilege
which cannot be obtained at any
