SHERIFF AND
DEPUTIES GET
MUCH LIQUOR

Sheriff George L. Campbell and
Deputies Fred Elliott, George Evans
and Elmer Waters invaded Para
disc this morning, and came away
with about 80 gallons of wine and
20 cases of beer.
At least, it must have seemed a
Paradise to lovers of wine and beer.
Jack Roach, who, incidentally, was
fined $50 by Judge S. M. Smyser of
Holtville less than an hour after
the raid had equipped his ranch on
the Alamo river, north of Holtville,
with tables a barbecue pit, and all
accessories.
Thick brush and verdantly grow
ing alfalfa gave the scene a quiet,
pastoral air.
The thick brush gave the sheriff's
crew greatest trouble. Only five
gallons of wine were discovered in
Roach's house. The rest of the evil
dence was found, gallon by gallon,
hidden in various choice spots about
the countryside. The officers were
not sure when they left that they
had found the entire liquid content
stored in the weeds.
The beer, 20 cases of it, was found
in a dugout sunk into the back yard.
Along with the beer was one case
of grapefruit-for what purpose Is
hot known.
When the officers drove up to
Roachs place with search war
rant at 10 o'clock this morning, they
found him still in bed
Got any liquor around here,
Jack?" asked Elliott.
Sure" grunted Roach, as he
clothed himself.
Not long afterward he entered a
plea of guilty to possession of liquor.
and was fined $50
When officers left the county jail
this morning on the raid, they ex-
pected one of the largest hauls ever
made in the county. Numerous re-
ports had been made on the alleged
bootlegging activities of Roach.

RUMORS ASSERT
new GOVERNOR
DUE IN MEXICALI

Rumors of another change in gov
ernors for the Northern District of
Lower California are affirmed and
denied at MeXicali, with no definite
information being obtainable.
The rumors report that General
Ruperto Garcia de Alba, former
governor of Jalisco, is to be the new
governor. Governor Carlos Trejo y
Lei do de Tejada has denied any
knowledge of a change, but other
district officials say that they expect
one.
Border gossip has asserted there
has been some discord between the
present governor and the military
officials. Governor Trejo is the
first civil governor the district has
had and military officials are said
to be disgruntled at the dinunition
of their authority.
There is also a small faction cred
tied with wishing to have General
Abelardo Rodriguez, former COVER
nor, returned to office. He was in
command for six years, longer than
any other official, but resigned over
year ago.
Return of Rodriguez is not eX-
pected by those in position to know,
as they point that to return him to
office would be contrary to the pol
icy of Mexican administration.

Veterans Hospital One of
Best, Says DR.. Newton

On a recent trip to Walla Walla,
DR.. E. F. Newton, newly elected COM
mander of John Lindblad Post, visited
the Veterans hospital in which during
the last few years, many White Bluffs
veterans have received medical treat
ment, and he returned home enthus-
iastic over conditions as he found them
there. No hospital on the Coast, Dr.
Newton says, is better equipped to care
for the ailing veterans, and of the
hospital staff he speaks in the highest
praise.
The hospital is located on the old
military reservation, formerly Fort
Walla Walla, consisting of $40 acres.
1t has been used as hospital, after
remodeling, since May 10, 1922. New
construction and remodeling of build
ings has increased the bed capacity
from approximately 240 at that time
to 37O at present. and contemplated
construction will provide an additional
SO or 60 beds.
Strictly tuberculous originally, the
hospital at the present time is CLASH
fled as general hospital. At this
time BOB patients are receiving treat
ment. There are eleven full time med
ical officers on duty, one consultant
and one part-time, and two dentists.
The nursing staff consists of one
chief nurse, four head nurses, and
twenty-four staff nurses.
