Asks Big Sum In
SaltOn Sea Suit

Damages amounting to $175,000
are requested by F. w. Greer in an
amended complaint against the I'M
perial Irrigation district filed in su-
perior court today, estimating that
sum as the amount of damages to
Greer's land On the eastern shore
of Salton Sea because of the rising
level of the water.
Excessive drainage water flowed
into the sea by the district is the
cause of the raised level of the wa
ter, Greer's amended complaint
charged.
This suit is merely one of several
like suits on file against the dis
trict, all seeking damage to land
assertedly ruined by the rising sea
level. These suits probably will
come to trial before an outside judge
within the next two months.
Greer's amended complaint cites
three alleged causes of action for
damage to a hunting reserve, dam
age to Greer'S home and damage to
agricultural and mineral land.
The land was made useless when
overflowed by the sea, the amended
complaint charges.

Picture Imperial Valley as an
enormous fresh water lake, edged
with heavy timber in which roamed
dinosaurs, mastodons and sabre
toothed tigers, and you can picture
the Imperial Valley of two billion
years ago, as described by DR.. A. l.
Eaton, of the Holtville high school
faculty, in his talk given yesterday
at the Ell Centre chamber of COM
merce luncheon. Eaton. who was
introduced by w. w. McEuen, a
former classmate, stated that he
doubted if one could find another
place in the world as well suited to
study the creation of the earths
surface as Imperial Valley.
When the world was barely form
ed, he stated, Imperial Valley was
a great gulf, with the western edge
about midway between Coyote
Wells and San Diego; the northern
edge at the mountains far to the
north; the southern so to rs miles
south of the Mexican border. and
the eastern in Central Arizona. This
gulf was originally dry, but the wa
ters poured in from the Colorado
and Gila rivers, which both emptied
into that gulf, forming fresh wa
ter lake and bringing in silt and
sand from the present Grand Can
yon and bed of the ella river.
Mount Signal and the mountains
to the west were islands, as were
Black Butte and the Chocolate
mountains. The age of these noun
tains is indicated, according to the
speaker, by the fact that their soil
has all been washed from them in
to the valley.
At the fresh water period, the

now extinct animals abounded. ac-
cording to DR.. Eaton, who bases his
conclusions on geological forma-
tions, remnants of marine life and
actual footprints of these monsters,
left in the mud to harden and re-
main. The fresh water dried, said
the speaker and the large tides of
the ocean cut in from the Gulf of
California, bringing salt water, as
the rivers raised the floor with
their burden of silt. This is proven
by fossils of salt water marine life,
coral reefs and fascinating speci-
ments which DR.. Eaton has found
in his studies and which as he de-
scribed them held his listeners
spellbound as they heard the his
tory of Imperial Valley from the be-
ginning of time.
Urges Prohibition
Mrs. A. B. Hanson, county preSi-
dent of the Federated Women's
clubs, introduced Mrs. John G. Ur-
quhart, general chairman of the law
enforcement committee of the Ma
tional Federation of Women's
clubs, who told of the necessity to
enforce prohibition in the United
States, not only for prohibition but
because it means the new emanci-
patton of mankind Mrs. Urquhart
described the attitude Of other
countries toward prohibition, to
which they ascribed the former
prosperity in the United States and
stated that we should help our
communities to move forward and
zealously guard our country's well
fare by helping make a success OF
prohibition.

speaker, pointing out that it took

to end war and that the third race
destroyer, liquor, must be elimin-

work of the Broadway of America
association and of the hard surfac-
ing of 81 per cent of that coast to

master boxer Of all the hsavy-

fighting equipment against Joe Sekyra,
Dayton, Ohio, trial horse. In 10
round bout at the Greensboro Stadium
tonight.
Counted out of serious contention
after he was knocked out in three
rounds by Jack Sharkey in September,
1929. Loughran has fought his way
back to the top with series Of bril-
liant boxing exhibitions that have made
him an idol to New York fight followers.
In his last three New York appear
ances Loughran has gained decisions,
with ludicrous ease, over Max Baer,
Ernie Schaaf and Victoria Campolo,
the Argentine giant, to whom Tommy
conceded so pounds. Sandwiched in
with these victories was another de-
cisive triumph at Chicago over Tlffy
Grifdths.
The Philadelphia Is an odds-on
choice over Sekyra, although the Ohio
battler has been staging comeback
OF his own in recent months. In his
last start here he punched out an easy
win over the young Duluth battler,
Charley Retzlaff, who previously had
been bowling the boys over with .
heavy right hand.
Retzlaff meets Dick Onken Of Ger
many In the 1O-round semi-nnal. An
injured hand has forced Stanley Por-
eda, Jersey City heavyweight, to with
