The Press presents herewith a
self lf-explanatory letter received
from Assemblyman Sam E. Robin
son, outlining his position with ref
erence to the All-American canal
contract
ITO the voters of Assembly Dis
trict n.
January 8, 1923.
"1nasmuch as it is quite possible
tl1at the AIl-American canal con-
Tract win be submitted to the legis-
lature for approval il order to avoid
The necessity OF valuation by court
action and to save time, it seems
advisable IL me mat I make a
statement on this subject.
1t is generally known that l
voted against this contract when
it was first submitted. 1 did SO be-
cause Of the terms Of the contract
and not because I do not recognize
the need for large expenditures for
q new diversion, the elimination OF
silt from the canals and other rea-
sons. do not subscribe to the the
ory that prior right to water for
present irrigated lands may not be
written into this contract. Such a
right means q cash value to me
when I offer my land for sale. II
I may not hold title to this water
as personal property insist that
the title of this water can properly
be disposed of only by vote OF those
who own property to which this
water is appurtenant. Not only does
the contract provide no priority to
present irrigated lands but no at
tempt has so far been made to
place it therein. 1 object to the
surrender of my prior right to wa
ter to Coacneiis and the mesa
lands by those who have no prop
erty interest therein especially
since Secretary Wilbur has indi-
Gated that the Coachella develop
ment will not be able to stand on
its own feet.
Irrigation development in I'M
perial Valley as well as in Califor-
mia has followed theories and plans
of promotion rather than those OF
sound business. Promotion in Cali
tornia has become an economic
disease. 1 cannot believe that more
promotion is the cure for it. In
1929 when we were going good"
promotion seemed plausible and
proper. Today the viewpoint is diff
tercnt. We are in a state of be-
wilderment as to the future. No one
is expanding his own business.

Frankly, I have no enthusiasm
for this particular contract. l desire
that such influence as I may have
be exerted to slow down enthusi-
asm for it. However, I have never
entertained the icea OF using my
official position in opposition to
the expressed will of the people
who elected me. If it is the man

contract approved by the legisla-
ture if it is presented for that pur-
pose. I would prefer not to do So"

.MAROONS ADD
NEW VICTORY

It was little less than murder on
the high school gymnasium floor
last night when the Maroons trim
med the Imperial basketball team
40 to 10 and the Gilmore Lions de-
feated the Imperial Valley Hard :
ware team So to 81.
Wednesday night games, bringing
Gilmore and Imperial together at
7:20 and the Maroons and Imperial
Valley Hardware into the battle at
8:20, should be much closer.
For the Gilmore team last night
Goats and Howard were high men
with 16 and 81 points, respectively,
and Mackey and Conley starred on
the defensive. Novak piled up IL
points for the hardware team, Fish
er got eight and Price eight. Rauen-
zahn was defensive star.
Sheffield and TenWolde scored l.
points each for the Maroons, WITH
Allen and Sidwell shining brightly
on the defense. Brewer scored four
points and Merriman was defensive
star fol- the Imperial team.
The Maroons, at the present
writing. seem to have something of
an edge over the other teams. This
outfit is backed by several local
businessmen, including Shirers

E. w. Toney, Case and Moore. the
Sunland Dairy, Maggie Brothers,
Joe Bush. Goble Hurst and the

OF
VALLEY MEET
STATE GROUP

Fish and game matters of inter
est to Imperial Valley were dis
cussed at length during the meet
ing of the state fish and game COM
mission held here Saturday, with
Dale Gentry, president of the COM
mission presiding, accompanied by
Commissioner Earl 8. Gilmore of
Los Angeles. Commissioner I. Eel
lerbach was unable to be present.
Making this county a separate
district under the commission was
discussed but no definite decision
was reached.
Suggestion by r. B. Whiteiaw,
chairman of the Associated Cham
berS Of Commerce conservation
committee, that the dove season
be changed to include the months
of October and November, rather
than September and October as at
present, was taken under advise
ment.
Request by Cal Mousseau for a
later duck season brought the ex-
PLANTATION that this season is de-
termined by the federal govern
ment and the state has no jurisdic-
tion In the matter
Stocking Salton Sea and valley
sloughs with fish met the appro-
val of Major John L. Farley, execu-
tive officer of the commission, who
explained that the work must pro-
gress slowly as the commission is
entirely self-supporting and de-
pends on fishing and hunting Ii
censes for its sole revenue.
The discussion also included
game refugees in the valley and a
closed season on quail at all times.
President Gentry, in addressing
the meeting, which was attended
by large delegation of sportsmen
from all parts of the valley, said:
THE California fish and game COM
mission is much interested in the
preservation Of game in Imperial
county and proper protection of
doves, quail ana ducks is one OF
the obiectives Of our commission.
We are handicapped. OF course,
through reduction of income, yet
we want in some way TO overcome
this handicap and proVlde for the
protection which the increase OF
game in Imperial county demands
The question Of fish in the Salton
Sea is q major one. The success of
the eastern striped bass is debated
and we are experimenting with
other game fish TO see if they will
adapt themselves to the peculiar
environment of that great inland
body OF water. 1t would mean much
to Imperial county. to California,
and to the commission if game fish
are successfully established in Sal
ton Sea-"
After the official session of the
commissions the visitors were en-
tertained at luncheon by the E.
Centre Chamber of Commerce al
the hotel Barbara Worth. The lun-
cheon was attended by number
of sportsmen of Imperial Valley
and visitors from other counties.

HONEY COMB

The hexagon one-patch, so
popular with the needlewoman
of generations past, can be used
to form radically different
quilts. Two very effective ar
rangements are given in all de.
tail in this pattern. Though
Structurally the same, the varia-
ton in design is achieved
through the distribution Of the
materials. The one shows a
wreath and floral border
arrangement, while the other
is a repetition of a group of
hexagons that can first be
formed into a block and the
blocks then attached. This one
patch type of quilt-made enc
tirely of patches cut from the
same pattern piece-was the
first attempt Of the needle
woman of the past to make an
orderly arrangement of patch
pieces, early quilts having been
of the crazy-quilt type.

Dear Editor: Through me and by
this letter, the members of Minnesota's
Century of Progress Commission ex-
presses appreciation of your coopera-
ton with us, in the development and
presentation Of our state exhibit at
the Chicago fair. The commission has
had the benefit of many valuable sug-
gestions which came unsolicited from
every part of the state. Our work has
been made more effective by what you
have contributed toward our common
objective,-the preparation of credit
able exhibit. We are pleased with the
results of the months of work given to
the creation of composite picture Of
Minnesota's great resources and ac-
tivities. Our task now, is to popularize
the exhibit and bring it to the at
tention of the whole country.
Mr. David Owen, Executive Secretary
of our Commission, will be in charge of
the exhibit in Chicago. If you visit
the fair,-and it is our hope that you
will, please make yourself and friends
known to MIR. Owen. His Chicago
telephone number is Calumet 6187. He
will be delighted to have you call on
him at any time, for such service and
assistance as you may require, in

The Editor,
Ely Miner
Dear Sir: The City of Ely maintains
tourist camp presumably for the
purpose of attracting tourists to Ely
and sending them away pleased with
their stay at the camp and in mood
to boost Ely and praise its hospitality.
My family and I were at the Ely
Tourist Camp for few days recently
and came away dissatisfied and deter
mined not to come back.
The unusually high charge of fifty
cents day for camping on publicly
owned ground might not be objection
able if the facilities offered were very
nearly perfect. At the Ely Tourist
Camp though, the lake shore is full
of rocks, debris and even dead riSh.
The toilets are very poorly kept and
the caretakers at the pumping station
spend all their spare time sitting
directly over the entrance to the
ladies toilet, spelling the necessary
privacy. With so many City employees
standing around there is no reason
why everything around the camp
should not be spic and span.
Then too, we found that in Ely a
stranger is recognized right away and
the prices OF necessities go up. Milk

Have you ever heard the word
81 r E' suddenly called in the still
ness of the night?
Fires can be prevented. Most fires
are the result of carelessness on the
part of individuals. Cigarettes should
be put out before they are thrown
away. Matches should be broken in
two before they are thrown away.
The heavy toll of fire in the country
not only of homes and buildings but
forest fires is severe criticism of the
American public.
Fire is a good servant but a hard
master. Homes should be inspected
regularly by the owner to see that no
rubbish is accumulated unnecessarily as
this frequently causes fires
Your cooperation in this respect will
save thousands of dollars. Everybody
loses when fire destroys property.
Prevent it.
