THE KALEIDOSCOPE
By l. C. McCUMBER

James A. White resigned a very
lucrative office in the army of the
"easy money prohibitions officials,
to try for the Ohio governorship. He
fell by the wayside and the coroner
attended to details Now it is rumor-
ed that the United States government
will go straight to hell if Jimmy
White is not placed upon the payroll
of Uncle Sam as chief pay voucher
signer. If President Coolidge per-
mits this salary leech to connect with
the legitimate tax money of the peo-
pie, he will have demonstrated that
he is in favor of relieving the nutmeg
shortage by riring Wheeler to make
wooden ones.
In letter that old McCumber re-
ceived from a friend from Toronto,
Canada, it stated that there were
pleasant times in store for US should
we again come that way this summer.
But, and here the writer underscored,
"Pussyfoot Johnson and those of his
ilk, including the prohibition officials
who cluttered up our penitentiaries,
have no need to come this way again
with their hypocrisy. We have had
enough of their fallacies and devil
ment." Oh, yes, some of the GREAT
AMERICANS have a reputation a
few miles from where they suck pap.
In all the devilment raised by So
called law enforcers, there is a
strange aspect. 1t takes on the form
of who's Who?" From public
officials all the way down to village
mayors (advisedly) some of those
men are honest, no member of organ
lied labor has been given free board
in a penitentiary. Church deacons,
and lesser satellites, have accepted
the graft route, but men with the
union principle failed to fall for the
petty things that attract the holier
than thou buzzards.
o
Keep your hand clean. But if you
want to smut up get into the good
graces of those whose forefathers
were witch burners in the early days
when it was not safe to kiss your wife
more than once, and that when you
lay upon your deathbed.

Wheeler was indicted by some of the
essayers of Blackstone, and then they
were kicked in the Stats by a jury
out in Montana. If any business con-
Germ displayed quite so little brains
in purveying square deal as that
by the department of justice, they
would have to have a fire instanter to
get money from the fire insurance
companies. We are mighty glad that

YES" replied one man to another,
"our concern came across with over
twenty thousand dollars to the Com
munity Chest" "Fine," came back
the other business man. "It will only
take half cent on your sales for
six months to get that back and the
other six months will be velvet"
We have been writing for labor
papers for several suns, moons, years,
and decades. We have had occasion
to speak of how some men became
millionaires. Notably railroad build
ers. 1t now is shown that Uncle Sam
gave the Great Northern stockholders,
including the empire builder, James
j. Hill, some two hundred million
dollars worth of land, besides lending

And then there are some who say
that lawyers, like Jim Hill, did his

CentrO'S NeW
Water System is
Near Completion

$4,000. The reservoir is made of
reinforced concrete and is 70 feet
in diameter, with q dOme-shaped
top. The walls of the reservoir are
IA feet high, the peak of the dome
being 10 feet higher than the tops
of the walls.
A two foot layer of sand has been
placed below the foundation of the
reservoir. The water enters the
reservoir through an 1S inch pipe,
and is pumped out through q pipe
of the same diameter.
What will undoubtedly astonish
the average visitor to the plant is
the fact that this reservoir has q
capacity of 100000 gallons of water.
When the reservoir is full, the eX-
tent of its capacity is difficult to
realize A Press representative
recently went down in it with Con-
tractor Thomas, and it was an easy
matter to appreciate its extensive
ness, while standing on the floor,
looking up toward the dome.
The pumping plant adioins the
reservoir, the entire machinery of
the plant being placed below the
level of the ground. Here are To-
Gated two 1900 gallon pumps with
engine and motor drive, and two
900 gallon pumps with motor drive
only. The pumping capacity is
therefore 5.400 gallons per minute.

plant is also reinforced concrete.
The pumps throw the water from
the reservoir, to the large distrib-
uting tanks which are landmarks in
FL Centro's landscape. At dis
tance, the average person would be
inclined to believe that the older of
the two tanks has the larger capac-
ity. According to Superintendent
McKibben, the old tank has a capa-
city of 100000 gallons. while the
new one can hold 250,0GO gallons
and not spill over.
AS there is Il difference of 150,-
600 gallons between the capacity of
the reservoir and the capacity of
the distributing tanka, j. means
that there is always q reserve sup
ply of 100000 gallons on hand. Al
so, when the distributing tanks
have depleted the supply in the
reservoir, the latter can Immediate
ly be filled to its capacity, so that
there is little danger of the city ex-
periencing a water shortage y, no
matter how severe the demands on
the water supply may be.

ROSEVlLLE, Calf, June 2.--An

orous search is being conducted for

holdup and gun battle staged here

Entering the soft drink establish

The bandits then proceeded to

Taxpayers in FL Centro, who may
like to know what is being done
with the money which they pay into
the city treasury, can find at least
a partial answer to that question by
a visit to the city water works,
where practically an entire new
water system has been in the course
OF construction for several months
past, without arousLng more than
mild comment on the part of the
average citizen, who knows casually
that "they have been doing some
thing out at the pumping plant, y
as Il result of the $200,0OO water
bonds voted by an overwhelming
majority on April Il, 1924.
The construction work in the
residential and downtown sections
of the city in connection with the
new water system, has been well
known to FL Centrans, all of whom
have had opportunity to watch
workmen install the big new water
mains at one time or another during
the past few months, but the work
ut the water plant has remained
pretty much mystery.
A visit to the water plant will
show that great work has been
going on there. 1t is almost com
pleted now and insures FL Centre
water supply suffi3iea.ly ade.
quate to take care of its needs for
many years to come, even allowing
for substantial growth in the
city's population.
Of the new construction work at
the water plant, the new engine
room or pumping plant, and the
reservoir, form the most important
parts. The average citizen knows
that the city obtains its water from
the Colorado river via the Imperial
Irrigation District, the water being
delivered to the city ut the Eighth
Street plant.
1t is first allowed to enter into
eight large settling basins, which
have been cemented in connection
with the improvements that have
been going on. From the settling
basins the water passes through n
cleansing or washing machine, y,
which eliminates any sediment that
NAV be left in the water after it
has settled. 4 new washer. cost
ing $4,000, has been ordered, and
will be installed within the next
few weeks.
From the washer, the water is
piped to the new concrete reservoir.
This reservoir is worthy of more
than passing comment. 1t was built
by I. A. Thomas, Of this city. who
was awarded the contract for the
reservoir and pumping plant to cost

OFFICER TO BE
AGAIN ON DUTY
AT BORDER CITY
Probation Officer to Keep
Minors Away From
MeXicali

Subject to the approval of Dis
trict Attorney Utley, the board of
supervisors at yesterdays meeting
voted to place a deputy probation
officer at the international bOun-
darv line in CaleXico, effective
July l, at 4 salary of not more than
$50 per month.
While it was not definitely stat
ed. it is believed that the resump-
tion of gambling in Mexicali
prompted the action of the supervis-
ors in replacing m officer at the
line to prevent minors from crossing
the line into Mexico, unless ac-
companied by their parents or
proper guardians.
Previous TO the order closing the
line at 9 o clock, probation Off
Ger was stationed at the customs
house in Calexieo for several
months on the. request of yepresen
tatives of various county org1niza-
tions.
A telegram received from the
state board of charities advised
that that body does not approve of
the site for the proposed children's
home at Boulevard. the telegram
stating that the site is not desirable
because of improper lighting and
sanitation. The telegram stated
that letter setting out the oh.
iections in detail was being sent to
the board.
The supervisors, in taking over
the property in question, naturally
intend TO make whatever improve
ments are necessary, and believe
that when the state board is advis-
ed to that effect, any objections
they may still have will be with
drawn. The site is considered an
ideal one for the purpose and the
supervisors believe the people of
the county desire that il should be
used for q children s home.
