Fresno and San Jose from four
years to two years, met strong op-

for young people.
Many of the students attending
Chico college are living on SIS per
month"; he said. 1--WE are striving
and succeeding in keeping up their
interest and morale during these
strenuous times. Where would these
youngsters go, what would they do,
if you threw them out of the COL
lege?
I'VE are willing to take our fair
share of expense cuts but Cont
abolish the school"
Other speakers included G. l..
Phelps, president of Santa Barbara
college, Vierling Kersey, state school
superintendent, and w. G. Heron,

tinuing the case until Friday

grafton inspector, that he did so
because Burgues hit him during a
free-for-all fight which broke up
a dance at Burgues' home.
Later Alvarado took the stand at
a coroner's inquest and repeated
his story of the killing, saying that
he walked two miles to his own
home to procure his revolver,

summoned Burgues to the door and
shot him in the throat. The Mex
leans had been drinking at the
dance, according to the story told

APPROPRIA ALTON
FOR CANAL is
FINALLY GIVEN

John L. Dubois, president of the
Imperial Irrigation district board,
returned from Washington, D. C..
today to report congressional ap-
proval of the sos, 900 appropriation
for bringing plans and specifica-
tions of the Al-American canal up
to date and to complete investiga-
tino of reconstruction plans.
He told of the struggle to obtain
approval of the appropriation
which was bitterly fought by SEN
ators and representatives from
Utah and Colorado.
The original appropriation asked
was 100000 and this was reduced
by various committees, and sub
committees to $4,000, raised to
100000 reduced to nothing and fin
ally approved at $4,000.
Enemies of the appropriation
took advantage of every loophole
to defeat the appropriation, Dubois
said. During the absence of SEN
ator Hiram johnson of California,
and Senator Carl Hayden of Ari-
zona, Senator Schuyler of Colorado
bitterly attacked the appropriation
and the All-American canal and
called for vote. The canal ap-
proportion was stricken out. When
Senator johnson returned he initi-
ated such a barrage of fireworks
that 1t again was included in the
bill.
Routine business of the board
was handled during the brief time
directors and officials were absent
from the superior court where
several cases concerning the dis
trict are underway.
Newly elected directors will take
their places about the board table
at noon next Tuesday. The new
directors are Evan T. Hewes of. di-
vision No. /, and w. E. Young of
division No. 3. Hewes sat in on
the board meeting today.

VALUATION Up
IN COURT HERE

Validation OF the Ail-American
canal contract, sought by the I'm
perial Irrigation District and op-
posed by the Coachella Valley
County Water district and Charles
Malan, went before Judge Emmet
II. Wilson, Los Angeles, presiding
in Judge Roy D. McPherrin's place
this morning.
Attorneys were closeted with Judge
Wilson during the entire morning
session. arguing demurrers to the
complaint by the irrigation district
board of directors. DemurrerS were
interposeo by counsel for the Goa
chella district and for Malan.
Should Judge Wilson deny the
demurrers, trial Of the suit will go
forward. II he upholds the de-
murrers, on the other hand, the
district may be given time in which
to amend the complaint, or the case
may be dropped. Since answers tc
the complaint already are on file,
trial may go forward if the demur-
rers are denied
In the validation suit Charles L..
Childers, chief counsel, and D. &.
Roberts cepresened the irrigation
district. M. w. Conkling appeared
as attorney for Malan, and the
Coache]la Valley Water district was
represented by Alvin 3. Shaw, jr.
The Coachella district and Malan
oppose validation of the contract on
the grounds it is illegal and does
not conform to the United States
reclamation act, under which they
contend it should be- placed. Fur
ther, il is their contention that the
contract would violate water rights
OF lands both in the Coachella dis
riot and in the Imperial Irrigation
district.
Malan, as a land owner in the
Imperial Irrigation District inter-
posed the objection that water
rights in this district would be vio-
laIed, while tine Coachella district
objected en- it's own behalf.
