WASHINGTON, April 4.-Presi-
dent Coolidge laid II thrce-cornered

Two New Outbreaks of Epidemic Found in LA. County
Supervisors May Create Special
Epidemic Fund, Opinion Of Utley

1T is our further opinion that
your board may provide a special
fund should you deem it necessary
for the payment of the expenses and
charges hereinbefore mentioned is
the closing statement made in u
written opinion today presented to
the board of supervisors of this coun
ty by the district attorneys office
relative to the handling of the hoof
and mouth disease prevention cam
paign.
While it is necessary to read the
entire opinion submitted by Chief
Deputy Dorsey Whitelaw which is
reprinted elsewhere in full to obtain
comprehensive idea of this matter,
the above statement embodies the
point upon which there have been
many conflicting beliefs expressed.
Secretary Coyle of the local
Chamber of Commerce states that
the s675 quota of the local organiz-
ation has been appropriated from
the general fund and is available If
necessary, for use by the County
Protective Committee. However, it
is believed that the supervisors will
probably be able to finance the sit
uation without further contributions
being raised than those already made
available by the prompt action of
the vegetable, fruit and cattle men
of the county.
Effective today, Mexico has plac-
ed a quarantine against the state of
California covering all live stock
and products of the soil, according
to information received by County
Commissioner B. A. Harrigan.

Bonds Bought by
Northern, Firm

Sale of $4,000 worth of lmper-
ial Irrigation district bonds to j.
X. Mason and company, San Fran
cisco firm, was announced today
following Il meeting of The board
of directors. of the district this
morning. AZ sf.t
Bids from the Bank of Italy and
from j. r. Mason. and company
were submitted to the board at the
meeting yesterday afternoon, but no
action was taken until today.
The money from the sale of the
bonds will 90 toward defraying eX-
penses of excavation of drainage
canals, there being but $23 3,665.27
left on hand on March 81, rs shown
by the report to the board of Chief
Engineer Carberry.
With the sale of the bonds the
necessity for stopping excavation
work is eliminated and the program
will continue, Secretary MclVer
stated this afternoon. 1t was ex-
pectcd that unless money was forth
coming ut once excavation would be
stopped.
The action of the board followed
the reading of Il letter from Chief
Engineer Carberry outlining the
situation relative to construction
funds and asking authorization to
discontinue excavation work until
there was more money available.
Carberry Writes Letter
The letter, which is dated March
81, follows:
"Relative to the condition of
the construction fund that applies
directly to our drainage construc-
tion, | desire to call your attention
as follows:
''Balance on hand on March %,
$23, ,6G5.27.
Due general fun for last half of
March, approximately $4,000. Elk
penditures heretofore unauthorized
by the bond commission, $4,000.
Estimated funds necessary to com
plete work now in progress, aside
from excavation, $25,000, or a total
expense to date of $4,000 as com
pared to $4,000 in the construction
fund, leaving a balance of $23,665,
y for construction purposes.
"Our expenses per day on drain
age construction amounts to about
$4,000, therefore you can see that
i'll avery short time the funds avail.
able will be entirely depleted.
"The average cost of engineering
including investigation etc, is
about $500 per month. This work
in my opinion should be continued
without interruption.
"Therefore it seems advisable to
call your attention to the fact that
bv April l, there will be between
$4,000 and $4,000 aS,ilable to
carry on Investigations and take
care of some charges that are still
outstanding, and in view of this it
seems advisable to request authori-
ty to discontinue all future excava.
tion on the drainage program until
additional bonds are sold or money
rs available to meet our obliga.

The bonds purchased by j. II. Ma.

SEN. NORRIS OF
NEB. IS STRONG
FOR DAM BILL
Yager Says Hearings to
Close About Middle
of April

So far rs the Boulder Canyon
dam project is concerned, there
seems to be q period of general
lull in the battle while the house
committee on Reclamation of Arid
Lands is hearing testimony of those
who were mixed up in the letter
from Weeks, Work and Wallace to
the committee.
In telegram from Thomas c.
Wager, delegate to Washington i'll
the interests of the dam project
from Coachella Valley, it was stated
that Smith, chairman of the com
mittee, said hearings would close
about the middle of April. The
message was dated April 3, and
was Sent to Mark Rose.
"Merrill and Kelly are to finish
their testimony tomorrow, y the
message said. "Merrill said pow
er commission had issued license to
Utah Light and Power company
with compact reservation.
In commenting on the telegram
this morning, Mr.. Rose said that
Merrill S testimony regarding the
issuing of license to the Utah
Light and Power company might
throw some light on the attitude
of Congressman Leatherwood OF
Usah, one Of the bitterest enemies
of the bill.
Opposition to private development
of the Boulder Canyon and Muscle
Shoals projects was voiced in Wash
ington yesterday by Senator George
Norris, Nebraska, chairman of the
senate agricultural committee.
Norris declared that both the
Boulder Canyon and Muscle Shoals
projects should be subjected to Il
policy of government ownership and
operation.
Frowns on Interests
eve should not turn either OF
them over 10 private eXplolta-
tion.' Norris said "Muscle Shoals
is necessarily Il national enterprise
because it affects our war time ac-
tivities and Boulder dam is, i'll my
opinion, of such vast Importance TO
the Imperial Valley and the devel-
opment of the far southwest as to
make it necessary for the federal
government to construct the dam
and control the irrigation resources
it will develop, as well as the elec-
trict power.
"At both Muscle Shoals and BouI-
der dam | would have the govern
ment committed to the sale of
electric power in municipalities and
public utility corporations. we
already have assurances that all
power we can develop at Boulder
! dam would be contracted for III
advance by Los Angeles and nearby
cities, while in my opinion there
would be no such market for surplus
electric power developed at Muscle
Shoals. -
Norris said he hoped to make
Muscle Shoals legislation which
the agricultural committee will take
up April s, vehicle for the ere
alton of Il federal policy with re-
lation to water power developments

FOR HIGH HONOR

LOS ANGELES, April I'll. w.
Ballard former friends of the late
Jake Hamon, subpocnaed today to
appear in Washington before the
Teapot Dome committee, will take
with him further details of Ha
mons political activities.
That Hamon expected to swing
the Republican convention behind
Leonard Wood for president, and
then gain for himself the post of

things Ballard will tell the com
mittee, he said here today.

doing in Teapot Dome - Ballard
said, "Aand | wanted TO get in on
some of it. | went to Hamon at
Aadmorc, Okla, and he told me OF
his plans.
"Hamon said he was anxious to

but the Sinclair interests were also
after it, and expected 20 get them
through Albert b. Fall, who they
expected to make secretary of in
terror.

dent of the United States. After |

Ballard said he did not see Hamon
again until after the convention.
"IIe was drunk and sore then.
He said the. other crowd was too

BOY, Il, NABBED
SECOND TIME in
WEEK, FOR THEFT

Perhaps Rcfugio Carlos, - year
old Mexican boy, is a believer III
the provcrb, off at first YOU don i
succeed etc. He is ut least per-
sistent rs shown by his latest es-
capade.
Refugio, who with his 10 year old
companion, Francisco Cato, took q
number of gold pencils and a couple
of gold watches in FL Centre and
'Holtville on Friday, March 81, re
enlarged upon q career ef shop
lifting today in FL Centre, where
he was caught with one hand in
the cash drawer ut Burns Drug
store.
When Refugio was brought before
Probation Officer Swanson to eX-
plain his familiarity with Mr.
Burn S cash register, it developed
that he was in possession of a bright
and shiny new watch worth about
$3.50, which. he admitted having
picked up at the Army and Navy
store while Mr.. Marcot was wrap
ping up some cotton socks he had
bought.
Officer Swanson was at & loss about
what to do with Refugio, who seems
not to be particularly impressed
with the orders given him to re-
main on the Mexican side of the
border, but with the arrival of IN
older sister of the Mexican boy, il
was decided to send him so fal
into the interior of Mexico that
he would find it very hard to wan.
der out. Santa Rosalie is the place
to which Refugio is to be sent, and
storekeepers here may rest easier
