After a talk on the All-Ameri-
can Canal contract by Charles L.
Childers, attorney for the Imperial
Irrigation District, members and
I friends of the El Centro Chamber
Of Commerce, at yesterdays lunch
con meeting, had a general dis
/ cuSsion on the contract and a
number of questions were answer
ed by Childers, who stated that the
decision to be made at the elec-
ton on February Il is the most i'm
portant subject that this commun-
/ ity has before 1t; the most i'm
i portant decision this community has
ever had make and probably the
most important it will ever have
before it.
Boulder Dam, according to Child
ers, was the result of the desire
of the people for the government
TO aid in the construction of the
All-American Canal, and the two
projects have long been associated.
We now have the Boulder Dam un-
der construction and the canal con-
tract coming before us for accept
ance or rejection.
The speaker then told of plans
for taking water from the Color
ado River at point which will be
high enough to permit the canal
to pass the sand hills at ground
surface height and to give proper
drop for power purposes. He also
described the desilting process to
be in effect and stated that this
operation alone will result In a saw
ing of $500,000 a year in assess
mentS. 1t was also explained that
no payments are to be made to
the government until the canal is
completed and that, in the mean
time, assessments on new lands will
accumulate, so there should be an
equal sharing of cost by old and
new lands, although the new lands
will be unoccupied when the canal
is started.
The sale of power, which ac-
cording to the contract, would be-
long to the district, would also
make a reduction in individual as
sessments and Childers stated that
it has been found by study of all
these angles that the cost per acre
will not exceed 80 cents per year
for the first five years
Another speaker at ti1e luncheon
was Harold w. Wright, trade COM
missioner of the Los Angeles Cham
ber of Commerce, who is making a
trade survey of Imperial County.
Wright stated that Los Angeles
manufacturers need Imperial VAL
ley's products and Imperial Valley
needs Los Angeles manufactured
goods.
Imperial Valley has a greater
recuperation power said Wright,
than any other section because of
diversified farming, which makes

Off Battle With
Mickey Walker

NEW YORK, Jan. IA. U.H-
The proposed 15-round heavy
weight title bout between Champ
ion Max Schmeling and Mickey
Walker at Miami, Fla, February
25, has been cancelled and Schmel-
ing's manager, Joe Jacobs, today
is open for title bout against any
opponent, at any price and under
any auspices that will guarantee
100000 for Schmeling.
Jacobs notified Madison Square
officials that Schmeling would not
go through with the Miami match
because it seemed like a losing
proposition, financially, for Schmel-
ing, and because Jimmy Johnston
boxing manager at the Garden, has
been throwing ice water on the
affair"
Contracts for the bout were to
have been signed yesterday.
I'VE still are willing to fight
Walker" Jacobs said this morning,
but Schmeling must be paid for
the fight. He is the worlds
champion, and I will not permit
him to risk his title for nothing" ;"
Jacobs said he was considering
propositions from st. Louis, New
York, Chicago, Los Angeles and
Atlantic City for title bout.

law could be set aside.
They passed the final OBJ
stacle by sending telegram to
Mrs. Margaret Noel, mother of
the sailor, at Beachmont, Mass,
obtaining her consent to the
marriage, since he is only 20.
Then Red Cross officials in
San Pedro got in touch with
Miss Gustavson.
On learning the girl he loved
was on her way TO marry him,
Noel showed signs of reviving.
Physicians believed they could

deathbed.
Miss GustavsOn decided not
to make the air trip north af-
ter the plane had warmed up
and most airport attendants
were unaware that she had not
taken off.
The girl was in the care of

hysterical when she learned
that her sweetheart had died

Wilhelm and Sophie, died soon
after undergoing the operation OF

1t is known that Wilhelm's con-
slant fear of the malady which has
affected other members of his fam

Committee Of Young Bankers Proposing
 New Plan To Help

New York, Aug 4.-(UP)-The New York Herald Tribune said to- day that the Young committee of bankers and industriahsts Is co. operating with the Reconstruction Finance corporation to place $50,- 00O,000 credit at the disposal of manufacturers and wholesalers for rebuilding of their stocks of com. modities at present low prices.
 With many leading commodities selling under production costs, the Reconstruction Finance corpora ton and important financial in- terests are reported to hold the be- lief that a concerted commodity buying program at this time is not only safe from the investment point of view, but also is advisable from the standpoint of aiding bust ness recovery.
 In some particulars, the Herald. Tribune said, the plan is similar to one now being devised by th8 Re- construction Finance Corporation to make loans to railroads for buy ing equipment and increasing main tainance of way expenditures. It Is believed that if funds can be sup piled for normal purchases bust ness activity can be started upward agam throughout the entire indus- trial structure.

 May Be Drafted

DeBisschop Believes Nomination of ex-Oficial May Be Means of Winning Victory Over Popular Senator Lawlor, Present Leader in Section

Former City Clerk Edward B. O'Donnell may be drafted for the nomination of senator On the re- publican ticket in the 18th sena- torial district to oppose Senator Joseph H. Lawlor, democratic war horse, it was reliably reported to- day. Charles J. DeBisschop, one of the 6. O. D. leaders of the 18th dis- trict, when talked with today, de- clared that the O'Donnell boom, while still in it's infancy, may be the means of leading the party to victory this fall in the democratic stronghold.
 whether or not ex-City Clerk O'Donnell will accept the call of the g. o. p. leaders remains to be seen. However. 1t is understood, efforts are to be made in the next week or ten days to have him con1- init himself favorably so that when the republican convention in the 16th district takes place he will be strongly entrenched with the voters of his section of the city.
 Senator Lawlor is assured of re- nomination on the democratic ticket. He has so far met and dee feated all his g. Q. p. opponents. Republican leaders of the city feel, though, that MT O'Donnell. because of his strength in the .16th district, would stand the greatest chance of defeating Senator Lawlor. He was the only g. o. D. victor in the city election of three years ago and a year ago went down to defeat at the hands of City Clerk John Fitz- maurice while leading the rest of his ticket in the number of votes obtained.

RAILROADS ARE EXTREMELY SHY
 ON BORROWING
Chairman POmerene of Re- construction Board Trying to Make Them Take More-Too Many Cars Idle They Say

Washington. Aug 4.-(UP)-The Reconstruction Finance corpora ton, while beseiged with loan re- quests from many sources. is hav- ing to exert salesmanship in it's ef- fort to induce the railroads to bor- row additional millions to be used in getting equipment ready for a brighter business day.
 As the conferences with rail ex- ecutives continued to-day, Chair man Atlee Pomerene of the Recon- struction corporation indicated that one selling" point he was using is that "the railroads should anti cipate an avalanche of coming business"
 This was the reported reply te statements of railroad men that more than 90,000 cars and several thousand locomotives are now idle, not because of disrepair, but be- cause of lack of rail traffic.

Jessie Keith Miller
 Reveals Details Of
 The Sordid Tragedy
Told Court That She and Haden Clarke Had Threatened to Commit Suicide Together in Order to End It All

Courtroom, Miami, Fla, Aug A. (UP)-Pretty Jessie M. Keith-M Mil Ter, testifying at the murder trial of one of her lovers, revealed to- day that she had suggested to Ha- den Clarke that they commit sui- eide together as a way out of their strange love triangle with Captain w.

 Lancaster is on trial, charged with Clarke's murder. Clarke, a writer, was killed April 21 in her where the three had been living.

 "Haden sat on the lounge" the tiny aviatrix said, and after a while he screamed:
 CT can't stand it any longer. I'm going nuts"
 Then the woman flyer, testifying for the prosecution although call- ed by both sides and obviously try ing to save Lancaster from convic- tion, told the dramatic story of the events in the cottage the night Clarke was killed.
