BY tbs MYSTERIOUS COWBOY

Recognition of Ell Centre as the
industrial center of the Imperial
Valley was made in a most practi-
cal manner on the 18th of February
last, when a branch of the Don Lee
Cadillac distributing orronization
was established here. William n.
Lewis, formerly with the organiza-
tion at San Die"o was nlaced in
charge of the branch. Mr.. Lewis
was here as Cadillac dealer for
several months before being snut
to San Diego in September, 1924.
When it was decided that the I'm
perial Valley territory was import
ant enough to justify the establish
ment of branch, Mr.. Lewis was Sc
1nctcd aS manapor because of his
familiarity with locol conditions.
non Lee, with an organization
that covers California is the larg-
est Cadillac distributor in the world.
He started in business over 20 years
aoo. At one time the business cen
tered, at San Francisco. Now it
centers at Los Angeles, and sales of
the Cadillac ear have been extended
southward until now in the Imperial
Valley alone there are more than
200. In view of the cost of the ear
that speaks well for the prosperity of
the valley. More Cadillac ears are
sold in California than in New York
state.
Mr.. Lewis talks economy when he
sells a Cadillac. He gives figures to
show that the percentage of depreci-
alton on that ear is lower than on
any other car. He knows of Cadil-
lac ears in the valley that have been
run more than II years and are now
being operated economically after
running more than 100000 miles
He maintains an exclusive Cadillac
service in charge of a mechanic who
has spent ten years overhauling and
repairing Cadillacs.
The Imperial Valley is one of the
most important agricultural see
tions of California, Mr.. Lewis says
and with the passage of the Boulder
, Dam bill it is destined to be the
most important.

showed TODAY. (
OF seventy senators interviewed. RI.
only Is favored referendum and
some of the latter had almost i'm
possible reservations.
The poll showed that senators
from the "wet' states of New

most heartily favored the refercn-
dunn. Senators from "half apd
half' states were uncertain and
those from the dry south and west
generally opposed the plan.
A few from cOmparativelv dry
states expressed the belief that n
"fair' referendum might be well
"a quiet the present wet outburst.
They argued that the country
woull vote dry. They would favor
a referendum only if assured every
cne would vote.
Many Won't Comment
A dozen senators declined to com
mcrt on the plan. Six others de-
ciared congress could not authorize
referendum without first amend
ing the constitution.
The majority of senators branded
Arguments for a referendum as
