NO EARTHQUAKE HERE

Ihank Hevlngs the little shimmy which Mother
Nature performed yesterday did not touch Imperial
Valley And the thankfulness is prompted much by
the fact that it saves from great deal of undesr-
able publicity as it does that escaped material
damage.
The quake rocked the coast area from south of Los
Angeles to we'll up beyond Santa Barbara. True
there headlines in the coast papers, but they all
specify little or no damage
49, Let Imperial Valley have slight shock-nothing
like our New Years present-and Immediately coast
papers are ready to scarehead imperial Valley Des
troyed.'
Only few weeks ago, when there had not been the
slightest sign cf shock here, story originating in
San Diego according to the Information supplied u.s.
declared that the valley had been hit by terrific
earthquake.
We glad that Fridays earthquake did "little or
no damage and it gave pleasure to chronicle that
tact Now, If the valley should happen to have
thing along the same lne hope the compliment
VIII be returned.
While we do not want earthquakes any more than
any other communities, console ourselves that
we are much better prepared for them than plenty Of
other places. Meaning by that that we have no

DITCH REMOVAL SOON

The question which many Ell Centro residents have
asked is about to be answered
when will work start on the elimination of the
Eighth street ditch?" is the question. "At once is
the answer. That answer does not mean at 10 o'clock
this morning and perhaps not for several days. but it
is certainty that work will be started before the
folks get pulling wishbones on Thanksgiving Day.
Any project like removal of the ditch requires con-
siderable preliminary work before even start can be
made Rome was not built in day. and in these
days OF modern business all public works must go
through careful legal scrutiny to make certain that
everything is it should be. This alone requires
months tor one can safely trust the lawyers take
plenty of time.
The money received from the sale of the bonds voted
for the ditch removal has been turned to the
perla Irrigation district, which will do the work. and
that organization plans to proceed with the actual
work OF making the dirt fly, with as little .delay
possible.

The following resume of the six
weeks work was written by Amelia

rinarets, they were made of mud
and the houses with flat roofs too
were made of mud. We also had
koofahs and keleks, which sailed on
the Tigris river. We made palm
trees and many sheep. There was
"A shepherd--he wore loose clothes.
And there was "A steamboat. s. l..
made khan and c. w. made a wag-
Or and made the minaret. A min
aret is church and when ever the
people hear the bell they kneel and
pray. There are camcls in the kahn.
When some travellers are in the des-
ert they hurry to get to the khan,
because they are afraid of robbers.
In the city of Bagdad they don 7
have much wood, because only palm
trees grow there. 1t is a beautiful
