Coachella Quizzed

less open to question whether
$4,000 acres plus the possibility of
settling 10000 more would justify
an investment of over S10,000000
secured by this area alone. The
obligation assumed by each of the
$4,000 acres now cultivated would
be over $500.
4. It would be impracticable, if
not physically impossible, to build
a joint canal through the sand
hills for Imperial alone and later
enlarge it to carry enough water
to Coachella; the whole job as to
that section of the canal, must be
done at once.
5. A large share of Imperials OBJ
legation will be reimbursed to it
out of power proceeds. Coachella
will not share in them except to
the extent of water carried for 1t
if it makes a separate contract and
in proportion TO that districts con-
tribution to the capital cost of the
works involved: whereas the big

water spilled back into the river,
yielding revenue only to Imperial.
Coachella's per acre reimburse
ment from power will thus be less,
and the possibility of paying the
government less, than that of each
acre in Imperial.
However, these difficulties in the
way of a separate contract with
CoacheIla do not initiate against
an immediate government contract
with Imperial. If the Coachella
landowners prefer that Imperial
be relieved of the necessity of in
GLIDING them, leaving Coachella's
chances to later negotiation, both
Imperial and the government will
be better off than if Imperial is
required to carry out the present
contract by including these lands.

The driver, Raymond Wood, be-
came confused at the flasher sig
nails and drove across the tracks,
striking the flagman, John Ham
mond, so, and pinning him under
the stalled machine. Howard, see
ing the accident, sprinted down
the tracks and with his flashlight
tagged the train. Beck worked
with his back to the train until

NORTH CAROLINA HISTORY
PART l

into North Carolina and South Caro-
lima in 1712, Edward Hyde was ap-
pointed by the Lords as Governor OF
the North part of Carolina" He was
therefore the first governor of what
is now North Carolina.
The first governor under the Con-
stitution of 1875 was Richard Cas-
we'll. Under this Constitution the
governor was elected by the Legisla-
ture to serve one year.
The Convention of 1885 amended
the Constitution to provide for the
election of the governor, by popular
vote for a term of two years. The
present term of office is four years.
Some of the First Laws
In 1870 the population was nearly
four thousand. More people were
wanted, and hence the Assembly pas
sed several acts encouraging people
to come to the colony,
(1) One of those acts excused a
man with a family from paying taxes
for one year. ~ Another provided
that for five years after a man moved
into the colony he could not be sued
for debts made before he came. (3)
Since ministers were scare, in order
to help people get married, the AS
sembly ordered that a simple cere=

Name
In 1929 King Charles the First of
England erected into a province,"
all the land from Albemarle Sound on
the north to the St. Johns River on
the south, which he directed should
be called Carolina. The word Caro-
lima is from the word Carolus, the
Latin form of Charles.
First Settlers
Our first settlers were largerly
from Virginia. Some came from New
England and others came direct from
Old England. Still others came from
the English Colonies in the West In
dies. There were small settlements
of French, German and Swiss.
Some of these people were seeking
better farming lands, some a better
range for their stock, some to trap
and hunt and be apart from their fell
bowman, and some ven to escape
taxes, tithes and rents. The vast ma
iority of those that came t the COL
ony were poor, but by hard work,
saving, and good business sense, the
men of this class built for themselves
comfortable homes and improved
their economic condition in general.
Onr First Government
The first government in the Prov
ince of Carolina was the proprietary
government. 1t was called thus be-
cause the king had granted this terri
tory to eight of his favorite friends
who were called the Lords Proprie-
tors. A governor and six Oh more
men composed the Council, which
attended to the duties of the State.
The governor, his Council, and a
group of men chosen by the people
made the laws. but all laws had TO be
approved by the Lords. This body
was called the Assembly.
The Governor
Under the proprietary government,
William Drummond, a Scotchman by
birth, was the first governor. So far
as known his rule pleased the people,
and the colony grew under his admin
istration.
