CATHEY STARTS
LONG DISTANCE
ENDURANCE RUN

Stepping on the gas, amid the
plaudits of considerable crowd
Lee Darcdevil' Cathey hoped
off on his 100hour nonstop auto
ride i'll Imperial Valley at noon to-
day. The start was made from in
front of the Roy II. Womack Chew
rolet agency. Cathey is driving a
Chevrolet coach model 81.
A crowd began to gather just be-
fore noon and when a deputy from
Sheriff Gillctt's office affixed the
handcuffs to Cathey, which will bind
him to the wheel for the next four
days, many spectators were on hand.
During the drive Cathey will not
be allowed to bring the machine to
a complete stop. The car must make
the run without being fed additional
oil or water and gasoline will be
furnished on the fly. Although it
is a new machine, Womack is conf
dent it will stand the test of the
early grind.
Bright signs almost cover the car,
numerous merchants of FL Centre
having realized the advertising 9
value of the stunt. This makes the
machine easy to recognize and Ca
thcy's progress will be watched
with interest by the residents of the
valley.
More than ! 900 persons have en-
tered the guessing contest held in
connection with the event. This
contest carries three cash prizes to
be given to the three persons max
ing the nearest correct guess of the
number of miles to be covered by
Cathey during the 100 hours. The
first prize will be $50, the second

DISTRICT MAKES
BIG PAYMENT ON
LACUNA DAMSITE

Imperial Valleys equity in the
Laguna dam diversion point is to-
day boosted to $44S,O00 following
the passing of a warrant by the dis
trict board for payment of $4,000.
The warrant was signed by mem
bers Of the board today and reads
as follows: In payment of eighth
insta1lment required by the contract
entered into by and between the
United States of America and the
Imperial Irrigation district, under
date of October 23, 1918, for the
right to use the Laguna dam, the
main canal and appurtenant struc-
lures and divert water-Sth install
ment = six per cent of $l,600,000
due December 3lst, 1926
The Laguna dam contract was
made necessary following the in
junction issued in Arizona courts
some time ago by which the district
was restrained from divcrting wat
er at Andrade. BY yearly contrac t
with Yuma the district has been
allowed to continue diversion at
Andrade until the Laguna dam con
nection can be made. If the Swing
johnson bill is authorized it will
mean that the Laguna dam connec-
tion can be made coincidental with
the building Of an All-Amelican

Dear Sirs
No one who watched the Califor-
mia legislature in action Thursday
when the governor s special message
on the various Colorado river COM
missions was received, could doubt
the support given the SwingJohn-
son bill from all parts of the state.
In the assembly, few recalci-
trants who voted against the Finney
reservations at the special session
few weeks ago, solicitously in
quired concerning the expenditure of
the $1,000 appropriated from the
assembly contingent fInd for the
/, ri.state compact commission S ex-
penscs. Otherwise they kept still.
A single vote could have blocked ac.
tion until the official appointment
of committees. Int the vote was
lacking. No one wanted TO be a
Jonahi:gain.

the presentation of the ease by a
former assemblyman with whom

their tagerness to let the assembly
man from Imperial county know
they are on the bandwagon.
