completed. For the first five years
the inStallmentS will amount to
per cent of the total obligation per
annum. For the succeeding 10
years the annual installments will
amount to 2 per cent, and for the
remaining 25 years the installments
Will amount to per cent. The en-
tire obligation is scheduled for pay
ment in period of 40 years. There
is no interest charge.
One of the most important fea-
lures OF the contract is the provis-
ion for hydro-electric power deyel-
opment. 1t is expected that the final
details of the sections dealing with
power revenues, their application to
the payments on the contract, and
the disposition of profits accruing
to the district will be determined
at the meeting tomorrow Accord
ing to district officials who have
been working with the reclamation
service men in drafting the con-
tract, there are several essential
points that are yet to be agreed
upon.

tract draft for the inclusion of
lands to be served by the canal
within the district.
To Increase Area
Under the proposed contract the
area to be included within the dis
trict will extend to the east side
mesa, Coachella Valley, and the
west side mesa. aggregating some
thing over million acres. Most of
the area will be served by gravity
flow, but there is provision for
serving ultimately some of the ex-
treme areas by low pump lift. 1t is
contemplated to have acreages COM
bined within units in the district on
basis of valuation and similar To-
cation with respect to the canal sys-
tenn, as far as is practicable. In
this manner the burden of carrying
the contract will be equalized more
nearly.
Several of the directors of the
district expressed their belief that
the essentials of the present con-
tract draft will remain unchanged
in the final, approved contract. I'VE
have given many weeks and months
of study to the formulation of this
contract" Attorney c. L. Childers
said today.
I'm general, we believe we have
practical and comprehensive con-
tract. In any such gigantic proceed
ing, calling for development of SO
vast an area of desert and planned

CLOSE CONTEST

In spite of Ted Ehmkes best ef-
forts from the mound, and the
fact that he struck out Is opposing
batters, Ell Centro this morning de-
feated the Imperial high school
baseball team by a score of only
to 0.
Ehmke's work continued along the
high level he has struck in the past
three games, and promised a high
school strike out record should he
continue the hot pace he is now
hitting. Wynne caught for Ell Cen
tro this morning
Batteries for Imperial were Luch-
ner and Miller. Luchner struck out
only four Ell Centro batters. Pitch
ers for each side walked one man.
All in all, Ehmke was the star
of the game, with Wynne playing
a close second. 1t was Ehmke's
two-base hit that brought in Wynne
for the only run of the game.
Wynne was outstanding hitter with
two credited blows. FL Centro got
five hits and Imperial two.
