City Gains Ground

A half-acre of pavement was re-
turned to the city of Oakland Tues
day afternoon when part of Second
Street sidewalk was unearthed and
rediscovered under the Presbyterian
church lawn.
Rains over a period of years grad
ually covered up considerable por-
tion of the walk, but the voluntary
work on the part of the church men,
bers shows that they wanted to "do
the right thing by our Nellie" And
they did.
There's still another acre that can
be returned to the city a short dis
tance from that property, on Second
street just below Center street.

A Fishy Fish Story
This fish story has not been con-
cocted by Harry Mickey or Jim Pain
ter, but is tale of the Middle West
possibilities for all admirers of Isaac
Walton. A subscriber of The Repub.
lican residing at Lakeside, Nebraska,
sends in the money for his paper with
the notation: II have been up in the
Black Hills fishing. We have fish here
in Nebraska but it is so dry the fish
are losing their scales; some have
worn their tails off standing up look
ing for rain. 1t is the driest winter
and spring we have had in twenty
years."

Never Light, Anyway

Archibaldson, the pressman in the
back room, claims that cigaret lighters
will never wholly replace matches be-
cause one can't pick ones teeth with a
lighter. Yes, he uses matches exclu-
sively and often.

Calipatria Man
Badly Wounded
By Hold-Up Pair

Leopolda Leal. %, of Calipatria
district was held up, robbed and
quite badly wounded when one of
the holdup men, enraged because he
could find only a dollar in Leal s
possession shot Leal. the bullet en-
tering the left side just below the
heart, according to a report made
to the police by Leal.
In his story the Mexican said
that he had left his home. several
miles east of Calipatria about s
'clock to 90 to Calipatria for some
groceries. He said that while on
his way he was met by two colorcd
men.
One of the men brandished re
volver, and after forcing him to
turn over his possessions one of
them started scuffling with him
and then fired. Fortunately the
bullet struck glancing blow and
while it inflicted a painful wound,
it is not expected that 1t will
prove of serious nature
Leal went to the Brawley hospital
where he was given first aid treat
ment and then was taken to the
county hospital.
The hospital authorities reported
the matter to city police at Braw-
le., and an investigation was begun
Immediately. The sheriff's office
was notified and deputies went TO

DEUEL. DELIVERS
ADDRESS OVER
STATION KGEN

Through the instrumcntality of
the Chamber of Commerce, the rad
10 audience of station KGEN was
given a chance last night to hear
J. J. Deuel., manager of the law ;pd
utilities department of the Califor
MIA Farm Bureau Federation, Denel
has often been ION the air, y and
has been a frequent speaker on
farming topics at stations KFI
KGO, KPO, XIII and other large
western stations. He is always 4
forceful speaker, and his wide
knowledge of farm subjects and
farm problems makes his talks of
more than passing Importance.
Last night Deuel. told CT the re
mcnt, notably the reduction in rates
for agricultural power supplied by
the Southern Sicrras Power Com
panv and the railroad $ reduction in
rates on hay moving from Imperial
Valley. He urged hay growers to
use the railways lor the transporta
tion of their hay, thus building up
railroad volume, and incidentally
bringing some relief from the over
crowding of the state highways b.
trucks and laden trailers.
The speaker touched on the re-
apportioment measure which will
be No. l on the November ballots,
and emphasized the Importance to
the rural districts and the smaller
cities and towns that we have
equitable representation in the
state, legislature. The farm bureau
is committed definitely on the ques
tion, and is planning a vigorous
campaign before election day.
''Come as often as you like, -

EMBARRASSING
MOMENTS FOR
LOCAL FISHERS

In fairness to all, and in justice
to the readers of the Press, this pub
lication wishes to make correc-
tion in connection with the stor;
in Yesterday s issue relative to the
fishing trip of city and county of
ficals, to San Diego.
The name of Frank Richmond,
game warden, boxing impressario,
sportsman and sanitary engineer,
was not included in the list of those
making the trip. Efforts by the
editor to find out why his name was
omitted, have resulted in a disagree
ment as to the reason.
The reporter who wrote the story,
confessed to receiving cigar from
Mr.. Richmond, i'll return for leav-
ing his name out of the account.
His reason was that he feared his
spotlcss reputation would suffer, if
friends knew he had gone on a fish
ing trip with Mayor Clements, Cor
oner Lemons and Supervisor Smith.
The reporter also admits having
taken a package of cigarettes from
the other members of the party, for
suppressing Richmond 5 name. They
informed the reporter that this be-
ing the first time Mr.. Richmond
ever travelled in such distinguished
company, he was suffering consid-
cradle embarrassment, and feared
the low-broWs with whom he usual
ly associates would accuse him of
immitating Gene Tunney, by don
ming a high hat.
BY means that cannot be di
vulged, the information leaked out
The result is this explanation, and
a reporter looking for Il job, not
because he failed to report the news
as is, but because he overlooked di-
viding with the editor, the results
of the loot he acquired by playing
all parties concerned for saps.
The editor withholds his opinion
as to who suffered the most, if
any-Mr, Richmond by the pres
encc of the others, or the others by
the presence of Mr. Richmond. We
asked an opinion from the county
clerk, whose only remark was, "Too
bad the fishing barge didn't sink
with all hands aboard.
The party returned this morning
with the truck and trailer loaded
with hay.
