GIRL
VICTOR in SUIT
AGAINST PAPER

An interesting decision has just
come down from the District Court
of Appeal affirming judgment of
the Superior Court of Imperial
County wherein Judge Frank r.
Willis of Los Angeles was 2resid-
ing for Judge Conkling.
In 1921 the Calexico Chronicle put
on a subscription contest and offer-
ed number of prizes for persons
obtaining the largest number of
subscriptions. Marjorie Long, Il
young girl living at CalcXico at
that time, was one of the contest
ants. \ few days before the con
test closed the Chronicle published
a notice that from that time on
they would receive nothing but ccr-
titled checks or money for subscrip-
tions, but this motive was never
called to the attention of Miss Long,
and the last hours of the contest
she deposited some subscriptions
with uncertified checks of perfectly
reliable persons.
The Judges in counting the votes
awarded the first prize To one of
the contestants and would have
awarded the second prize, which con
sisted of an automobile valued at
s2190 to Miss Long had these checks
been certified, but because the
checks were not certified they
awarded the second prize to another
contestant and gave Miss Long the
third prize of $500 She claimed
that this WAS not fair to her and
amounted to fraud and brought
action IN the Superior Court of this
feountv for the sum of s2l90.00,
which she claimed as her damages.
Vie action was tried before a jury
ud under the instructions of Judge
Willis, the jury returned verdict
in s. her favor for $1995. together
with her costs. The action was APP
peaIed by the Chronicle and the ap-
pclIate court has now affirmed the
Judgment of the Superior Court
against The Chronicle Publishing
Company for $1995.00 and costs.
Charles j.. Cbilders was attorney
for Miss Long, and Patrick j.
Cooney and Alfred Blaisdell, both
of Calcxico. were attorneys for the
Chronicle Publishing Company.

OPPOSITION TO

Greer Declares Calexico
Men Strongest Factor
Fighting Canal

| f. w. Greer who returned late
yesterday from the Boulder Dam
Association s annual meeting in
Long Beach on Saturday, was most
enthusiastic over the reception at
! titude shown toward the All-Ameri-
can canal by the representative
group of men gathered from all
parts of the southland.
Mr.. Greer stated that c. w.

son and Randall Henderson was the
only faction which showed genuine
opposition on the floor.

frankly stated that he was and al

American canal feature of the
Swing ohnson bill He urged the
sponsoring of canal to be built
from the Laguna Dam to Yuma
which would do away with their
weir in the Colorado River and
which would adequately supply
Yuma. He stated that more power
could be obtained due to the greater
drop in the flow of the river at the
lower end of the canal.

stated that men representing 100000
acres in Imperial Valley had sign
cd to fight the All-Ameriean canal

lexico then gave a talk much along
the same lines.
Ira Aten, Irrigation District
board member gave over his speak
ing time to Earl Pound of the
board. Mr.. Pound gave a complete
history of the All-American canal,
and explained why it should be
built.
Much Applause Given
When Mark Rose of the district
board took the floor and spoke of
the necessity of the canal, much ap-
plause was given.
He stated that the purpose of the
canal was not to deprive
Mexico ranchers of their share of
the water but to devote surplus
water to putting more acreage on
the American side under irrigation.
This plan would do away with the
present day situation that no new
land can be irrigated here during
The low stage period of the river
flow.
r. B. Peters of the State Farm
Bureau office told of the passing of
opposition on the part of the mid
lie west farmers to the canal feature
of the bill. They at first contend
ed that it would allow too much
acreage for cultivation and permit
too much competition for their
markets. This idea has disappear

British Columbia is preparing for one

to provide complete highway connec-

the prairies. Bids for tho Fraser
Canyon road have been called, re-

opened by the Legislature at it's Fall
meeting. SO difficult and dangerous
is the project considered that con-
tractors bidding Oh it will have to deposit
bonds Of unprecedented size to guard
against any damage that may occur
in the course of construction.
The difficulties of the work are in
creased by the fact that two trans

on each side of the river. In cary

quantities of blasted rock upon the
railway tracks at many points. In
