DIRECTORS OF
CHAMBER AIDING
CLEANUP DRIVE

At meeting Of the board of di-
rectors of the Ell Centro Chamber
of Commerce, presided over last
night by Mark M. Munson, vice.
president, Leo Hetzel, w. H. Tyler,
Jr., w. A. Tondro j. L. Travers and
C. C. Jenkins were appointed as a
post office building advisory COM
mittee, and j. L. Travers and Fred
p. Nuttall were named as alter
mates to the Associated Chambers
of Commerce Of Imperial county.
Edmund T. Price, president of
the Solar Aircraft company and
Robert Huntley, traffic manager of
the Rapid Air Express, addressed
the directors with reference to ex-
tension of the air service between
Imperial Valley, Los Angeles and
San Diego. 1t was decided by the
board that Manager Hays should
send a questionnaire to all tn e
business men of the city asking them
what additions to the present serv-
ice would best suit the needs of
their businesses relative to passen-
ger and express service. The di-
rectors of the chamber expressed
themselves as very appreciative of
the efforts Of the Rapid Air Ex-
press company to give Imperial VAL
ley a complete passenger and ex-
press service and pledged the sup
port of the chamber and board of
directors to make the line sue
cess.
The board members expressed
themselves as much favoring the
employment of local labor in the
cantaloupe harvest and a confer
ence was arranged with the federal
labor bureau to devise plans where
by cantaloupe growers and distribu-
tors will be urged to give preference
to local residents who are in need
of work. The directorate particu-
larly favored the employment of
colored men who are permanent
residents and who have not in the
past been included in the harvest
ing of crops. Many of these men,
it was stated, are married, have
families and are buying homes in
FL Centre and the board consider
ed it to be the duty of the COM
munity to see that as far as posi-
BILE these workers are employed

ing at the start, wheat prices con-
tinued to fall on the board of trade
today under heavy selling and
closed near the bottom for sharp
losses. Weakness at Liverpool and
heavy rains in a section of Kansas
badly in need of moisture were de-
pressing factors. September led the
decline and went to a discount un-
der July Dry weather prevailed in
the northwest and frost reports
were numerous but these facts had
little influence. The selling found
the technical position weak and
support lacking. The deferred de-
liveries of corn went into new
ground for the season, pacing the
other deliveries downward under
selling influenced by the weakness
in wheat. Toward the last oats also
slid downward with the major
grains.
At the close wheat was rs to 11sc
lower with May unchanged; corn
was L to 1hc lower and oats were
sc lower to sc higher. Provisions
were firm.
May wheat old closed at .28H.

NEW YORK, May 81. U.P)-The
stock market bounded forward to-
day-gains from to 10 points be-
ing recorded-in a late rally which
brought about such heavy trading
that tickers ran behind.
Rails led the market from the
,uck in which it has been the past
several days. The carriers ad-
vanced on decision OF eastern rail-
roads to attempt to have the inter-
state commerce commission revise
eastern rail rates upward. This
combined with the fortnightly brok-
erage settlement in London, in
which no difficulties were reported,
brought the forward move.
Sales totaled 2,400000 shares,
compared with 100000 shares yes
terday.
The advance came suddenly and
Unexpectedly. During the first
three hours today the same lethar-
gic tone that has characterized
trading for the past week prevailed.
There was sagging tendency.

DISTRICT NOT
INTERESTED IN
BRAWLEY POWER

In reply to rumors that the I'm
perial Irrigation district will finance
construction of the power plant at
Brawley, officials and directors of
the district express themselves as
being unconcerned in the matter.
"The district has no interest in
the power situation at BraWley,"
Mark Rose said today. 1T is moth
ing to the board whether the pro-
position wins or loses. 1t is purely
a local matter and I fail to see what
business it is of the district, As
far as I kno wthe proposition has
never been mentioned by any men,
ber of the board or anyone else in
a board meeting"
Officials of the district also ex-
pressed surprise that such rumors
were being circulated.
"As far as the power question
goes" said Rose, "the district un-
doubtedly will be selling power
within a few years but until that
time comes there are other mat
ters to engage the attention of all
concerned"
Brawley is voting in special elec-
ton today on six propositions of
incurring bonded Indebtedness for
municipal improvements as follows.
$35 900 for the construction and
furnishing of a city hall; $4,000
for acquisition of a site and con-
struction and furnishing of a fire
hail; $4,000 for the extension of
the present water works distribution
system; 100000 for the extention of
the sewer system; $4,000 for the
construction of a water tank: $780,
600 for a municipal light and power
works, including distribution sys-
tenn.

ARLEY FARMER SAYS
RELEASE HAS PROVEN
HIS INNOCENCE

The many friends and acquaint-
ances of Arley Farmer were pleased
upon his return to his home here Sat
urday afternoon after year in the
Minnesota reformatory for crime
which Mr.. Farmer and those who
know him contend was purely persec-
ution, says the Spirit Lake Beacon.
Farmer was taken from his home
10 months after the alleged crime was
committed and was convicted by the
evidence of the Minnesota game
warden who had been shot after
night, upon the ground of his general
build and the clothes he wore, yet he
could not tell whether it was rifle
or revolver used. All this was over
the sworn testimony of his wife,
mother, father-in-law, and hired man
to the effect that he did not leave the
house that night.
Farmer feels he has been vlndicat-
ed of the crime pinned upon him and
proof of his innocence lies in the
fact that the board of pardons COM
muted his sentence.
