RODEO TO shows
COWBOY SPORTS
affair GROUND

"Whopee-e-e! Ride i'm, coWboyi"
For the first time at an Imperial
County Fair this stentorian call
will ring out over the fair grounds
Wednesday and Thursday of fair
week, when the southwest's best
rodeo performers appear before
Imperial Valleys citizenship in all
the glory and display of a rapidly
vanishing era.
Already Hugh Strickland and Lee
Eddins, placed in charge of ar
rangements for the rodeo, are pre-
pairing the corralS and chutes
which will discharge their mad
dened beasts and yelping riders on
to the fairway before the grand
stands.
According to Strickland, galaxy
of names famous in rodeo circles
will grace the entry list for the
rodeo, bringing to Imperial Valley
the best of the disappearing clan
of broncho riders, steer riders, rope
experts and those versed in other
intricacies of western range and
show work.
Driving comfortably to the fair
grounds in their modern automo-
bileS, visitors to the fair will be
treated during the rodeo days to
stellar exhibitions of bronc riding,
bulldogging, roping, calf tying,
steer and bull riding, trick and
fancy riding and other branches
of rodeo warfare between man and
beast.
Among entrants competing for
the rodeo prize money will be many
whose names are we'll known in
Imperial Valley, and among the
spectators will be many who spent
their early days in the saddle, and
who are well versed in the tricks
of man and horse.
Among other entrants will be
Mrs. Hugh Strickland, one time
national champion steer rider in
the woman'S division. She will find
competition among other women
rodeo stars both from Imperial
Valley and outside areas.
This year will mark the first
time rodeo performance has been
made one of the attractions of the
fair program. Should the rodeo
meet with expected success, it
probably will be repeated next year.

After years of struggle and litiga-
ton, the All-American canal pro-
iect will be brought to a vote of
the people of Imperial Irrigation
district at a special election Febru-
ary II.
This will be the first opportunity
residents of this section have had
to express an opinion since the
more than $300O0,000 project was
originated by pioneering American
ranchers who years ago realized the
necessity for permanent diversion
works, removal of the system from
a foreign country and relief from
silt accumulations.
The proposed All-American canal
first was suggested in 1911 and
since that date enemies have fought
a bitterly contested struggle to
prevent the matter being brought
to the polls. The fight was carried
through local courts, through state
courts and to the supreme court
of the United States twice before
the voters were permitted to cast
ballots for or against the contract.
Millions of dollars are declared to
have been expended by the oppos-
ition to block the construction OF
the canal.
The main canal to the West Side
Main canal will be 1877 miles and
the Coachella Main canal will be
1902 miles in length and as plan
ned will prevent periodic water

Harrigan States
Fair To Be Best
Since Organized

Imperial Valleys Mid Winter
Fair is to be finer than ever this
year. is the enthusiastic statement
of B. A. Harrigan, director of the
agricultural and horticultural di-
vision at the fair.
"Of course 1 am interested in my
own division in which we hope to
show the varied products grown in
the valley, the extent and scope
of agriculture and its possibilities.
From the many inquiries re-
ceived at my office, interest in the
fair is shown to a large extent by
people outside the state. 1 have
invited the agricultural commits
sioners of Southern California to
hold their meeting here in order
that they may see for themselves
that the things 1 have said about
the wonders of Imperial Valley
aren't exaggerated in the least"
In addition to the exhibits dis
play, Harrigan stated that he
thought the rodeo would be excep-
tionally entertaining as we'll as the
auto races. II hear they have a
bucking broncho named Red Har-
rigan' and I'm certainly anxious
to see him." stated the agricultural
commissioner.

BIG CRANDSTANDB
USED FOR MANY
VALLEY AFFAIRS

Not only does the large cement
grandstand at the county fair
grounds prove valuable during fair
season but it is in great demand
during the year for use in various
public events.
Open air concerts, such as those
given by the marine band and the
United States army band, are
made possible because Of this
grandstand. Horse racing, auto
mobile and motorcycle racing,
various other sporting events, and
any outdoor affair such as last
years pageant, make the fair
grounds their headquarters be-
cause of this fine grandstand.
Made of concrete, the grand
stand will seat $500 persons COM
fortably and it is so constructed
that from every seat an unob-
structed view of the foreground
may be obtained.
With the new system OF num-
bered seats it is possible to arrange
for blocks of reserved seats if de-
sired and seating of patrons is
facilitated.
The grandstand, aside from its
value to the fair, is county center
for any outdoor enterprise and has
made possible the scheduling of
many events which otherwise
could not have been held in the
valley.

ALL-AMERICAN CANAL PROJECT
WILL INSURE IMPERIAL VALLEY
AGAINST DRAWBACKS OF PAST

shortages which have seriously
threatened agriculture, eliminate
tremendous sums spent for flood
protection and for operation of the
present main canal in Mexico and
for silt damage. Construction also
will eliminate unsatisfactory con-
ditions resulting from interference
of a foreign government not SYM
pathetic to interests of American
ranchers.
The Boulder Canyon Project act,
better known as the Swing-John-
son bill, gave. federal authority to
the Hoover dam and the Allan
erican canal. The proposed con-
tract as approved by Secretary Ray
Lyman Wilbur and the board of
directors of the Imperial Irrigation
district will bring about actual con-
struction of the All-American canal
whereby more than $1,400,000 will
be saved annually in silt costs alone,
will remove the canal system from
Mexico, give the people power rev.
enues and give residents of the
district complete control of the
water supply.
The canal will serve approximate
ly 100000 acres.

COUNTY FAIR IS
FIRST TO SHOW
in CALIFORNIA

Due to its delightfully."- mid and
sunny winters, Imperial Valley is
able to have the honor of holding
the first county fair of the year.
No other part of the state can
boast of such climate and as a re-
suit the valley can hold its fair
when the rest of California is an
ticipating cold or rainy weather.
Moreover, in no other region are
crops as flourishing at this season
of the year. Lettuce, tomatoes,
squash, Strawberries, all sorts of
citrus, carrots, grains of many va
rietieS are growing at this time
where other regions experience a
lull in agricultural products.
Gov. James Rolph, jr., begins his
official duties as opener Of inumer-
able county fairs in Imperial VAL
ley, and from then on, in the var
lous counties of the state, one by
one, the county fairs follow in
the lead of Imperial valley.
Those who remember the unsea-
sonable rain of last year are
anxiously scanning weather reports
and trying to wiring promise from
F. A. Baughman, United States
weather bureau representative in
the valley, that no such unusual
weather will prevail the week of
the fair. Baughman to date has
refused to commit himself on so
vital point and so the weather
is still a moot question.

TOURISTS help TO
SWELL INCOME OF
IMPERIAL VALLEY.

A trail of gold is brought in to
Imperial Valley each year by the
enormous number of tourists who
swarm into the state, making the
tourist business one of the states
major industries.
That Imperial Valley shares in
this wealth is brought out by sta
tistics quoted by the state depart
ment of agriculture. At FIT. Yuma
232,774 entered into Imperial VAL
ley in the year just completed as
compared with the 1873, l50 in 1890.
These tourists, by purchasing au-
tomobile supplies, groceries, cloth
ing, drugs, hotel accommodations,
contributed an appreciable amount
to the wealth of the valley and 1t
will be of interest to Ell Centrans
that more entered the state at TT.
Yuma than at any other single
port.
The state report shows these
tourists represented every state and
nationality and that for California
as a whole, an average OF slightly
less than two persons per minute
entered the state via automobile
during the calendar year OF 1891.
Out Of this number. 872,2i4 we're
tourists and the 1,402534 remain
ing were Californians returning
from trips.

Ell Centre is aptly named "The
Center" of Imperial Valley.
,1t is geographically, socially and
induStrially the center of the val
ley.
1t was no accident, the building
of Ell Centro where it is, nor the
naming of it. A very definite need
for just such city brought about
its foundation more than two de-
cades ago, and that need has been
growing continuously as Imperial
Valley greW-will continue to grow
as Imperial Valley itself responds
to the stimulus of Colorado river
development. Because Ell Centro
has these distinct assets it offers
very attractive inducements to the
prospective homeseeker, business
man, industrialist or farmer. Par
ticularly does it interest the ranch
er who may be looking to Imperial

STATE DIRECTOR
OF AGRICULTURE
WILL VISIT FAIR

Dudley Moulton, state director of
agriculture, will be a noted visitor
at the fair, coming not only to see
the many exhibits of Imperial VAL
ley's industries but to attend also
the annual meeting of the agricul-
tural commissioners of the IL south
ern. counties of the state, the meet
ing to take place OF Friday, Feb
ruary IL, in Ell Centre.
AS director of agriculture, Moul-
ton of course will be interested
primarily in the fine display of
Imperial Valleys vegetables, fruits,
grains and livestock. Although
this is not his first visit to the
county, it is his first as director,
and Imperial Valley farmers will
be eager to greet him and to enter
tain him during his visit.

STARS OF AUTO >.
RACING WORLD
WILL, COMPETE

Clouds of smoke and the odor of
burning castor oil as approximately
80 of the most famous racing driv-
ers in the United States whirl
around the Imperial county fair
grounds track during a two-day
race meet will furnish visitors to
the county fair this year with a
climax to the weeks entertainment
program.
The automobile races, sponsored
by the A.A,A., are scheduled for
Saturday and Sunday afternoons,
and are expected to draw large
crowds of visitors, from outside
places as well as from Imperial
Valley.
Officials of the A.A.A are re-
sponsible for the statement there
probably will be some new dirt
track records established during
the fair this year, since the I'M
perial county track is known
throughout California as one Of
the fastest in the state.
Crews have been working on the
it may be in the best shape for
the races. Turns have been per-
fectly banked and all danger
spots removed. Safety for drivers
will be one of the principal cares
of race officials.
Many of the drivers and ma
chimes appearing at the fair are
fresh from triumphs on the Ascot
and Bakersfield tracks, anu prac-
tically all are well known to fol-
lowers of the automobile racing
sport.
The races, featuring a number
of short distance events, will be
climaxed Sunday afternoon by a
100-mile race, always the most
fascinating event on any racing
program.
Among other drivers whose en-
tries already have been received,
or who are expected to enter the
races here, are "Stubby" Stubble-
field, Walt May, Shorty Canton,
Babe Stapp, Herman Schurch,
Louie Meyers, wild Bill" Cum
mings, Freddie Davis, Johnnie
Krieger, Earl Mansell, Kelly Pc
tillo, Mel Kenealy, George Conner,
Bob Scovell, Fred Merzney, Chester
Gardner and a number of others
equally well known.
The race is sponsored by the
A.A.A. Fair board officials have
provided grandstand facilities to
care for the huge crowds expected
to attend the last two days of the
county fair.
Weather conditions here are
ideal for automobile racing.
