STATE CHAMPIONS

one promise that is easy to keep, and
v also pleasure, is that made a week
ago today, and we herewith renew and
increase our. congratulations to Central
Unions famous team which took state
honors in the c. I. F. track and field
meet at Los Angeles on Saturday
Valley teams in various branches of
athletics have threatened to take state
honors before, but something always
slipped. We believe this is the first time
that team from Imperial Valley has
downed every entry in the state and that
fact adds considerably to the pleasure
and pride of Centrafs supporters.
We wish there were some other team
with which Central might compete, but
right now they are in the same position
Alexander was after he had trounced
the world-there is nothing left for them
to conquer.
Saturdays victory was all for which
Central could ask. Whatever doubts
might have been harbored because of the
injury sustained the week previous by
Myrel Gillett, were knocked galley west
when that young man dug his spikes into
the ground. Photos of the 440 race show
him leading the rest of the field by about
four miles-well couple of city blocks,
anyhow And he knocked three-tenths
of a second off the old record doing it.
Kirkpatrick, after grabbing off second
place in the high hurdles, went out and
took the lows in the remarkably good
time of "a seconds flat. Madden added
to the total by his second place in the
broad Jump.
Elbert Berry didn't get chance to
perform, Central not entering the relay
because Gillett sort of oyerdid himself
in the 440 and the relay points were not
needed to win, but Berry was ready to do
his stuff had the points been needed.
The state record for honest pride and
we'll deserved success goes to Bob Arm
strong and Don Ketchen, coach and as
sistant at Central Union, who took the
boys through long series of runs and
jumps during the season to the ultimate
goal of victory over the rest of the field.
Ell Centre and all Imperial Valley are
mighty proud of the -Four SpartansD
and wish for them in their individual
careers, the same measure of success that
their prowess in athletics has brought
to them.

FINE GAINS
BY GILMORE

Several hundred per cent gain
in the number of exclusive Gilmore
dealers in the Imperial Valley, 25
per cent gain in gasoline gallon
age in this area in the past few
months, and exceeding :ts quota IN
the sale here on Lion Head purest
Pennsylvania motor oil, are among
some of the encouraging things
reported 5his week by /. D. House,
manager of the Imperial Valley
headquarters for the Gilmore Oil
company.
"In checking over our records re-
Gently" says House, I'VE uncovered
splendid evidence of business I'M
proyement in Imperial Valley, and
cur 25 per cent gain in volume here
would indicate the Gilmore On
company's wisdom IN establishing
a plant and purchasing properly in
this world-famed valley.
THE most encouraging thing tC
me, aside from the splendid recep-
ton given to Gilmore products, as
a result of our aggressive advertis-
ing and merchandising, is The spirit
of optimism and confidence shown
by the people. 1t speaks volumes
for immediate prospects in all line;
of endeavor. Our own growth
would indicate, at least, that many
of us are turning the corner TO-
ward better times, with hope tha
the past prosperity of this vale!
will again be realized, as prices @

IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
CAPTAIN DAVIS

DASSlNG of Captain Charles Z. Davis,
removes a colorful character from I'M
perial Valley and the mud-pots and gey-
sers around his Mullet Island home will
not seem the same to thousands of val
leyites without the lanky and garrulous
captain at hand to explain their myster-
les.
Eccentric, the captain was considered
by some, and others, occasionally at
least, used more unkind terms in deserib-
ing him, but he was interesting to an eX-
treme degree when he launched into
tales Of his experiences amid his unique
surroundings in the lonely spot where he
ruled as king.
It was not lonely to the captain, who
knew every rock, pebble, crevice and
puddle over a wide area, and whose in
innate friends were the full moon shin
ing on the desert the wind whispering
around his shack, the soft murmur of
the geysers as they boiled and spouted,
and the mysterious rumbles which came
from the earth beneath his feet and
which no man can yet adequately class
ify.
Appearing as a typical Westerner with
a 10 gallon hat accentuating his more
than six foot frame; with cheeks tan
ned to leather by desert wind and sun,
the captain was in reality New Egland
Yankee, which in u measure accounts for
his ability to make something out of
place other men would pass by in scorn,
and to feel no loneliness though he was
long periods without human companion
ship The true New Englander is can
ny sort, and living much within himself,
he can do very we'll without others if he
SO chooses.
In isolating himself at Mullet Island,
Captain Davis was but following the ex-
ample of thousands of his New England
predecessors, who left their comfortable
homes to roam the seven seas on whalers
and traders, or pushed out into the wild
erness to help develop their own country.
Imperial Valley owes something to
Captain Davis. He gave it one of its
most unique attractions and made acces-
sible to his fellowmen a bit OF nature
that draws thousands from all parts of
the west in the course of year. 1t
would not be amiss to give his name to
the spot which he developed. His mortal
remains may be in New England, but
his shade will find its home at Mullet
Island-it might be more restful IT the
place were called Davis Island.

OLD WATERWAYS

In the days of Andrew Jackson, waterways were
regarded as paramount projects and one which was
advocated by him in 1929 has been revived, with
prospect of deserving the financial aid Of the Pub
lie Works organization, the path having been
blazed for operation by that master engineering
chief w. S. Lee of Charlotte. 1t is one of the
most ambitious projects yet advanced and would
involve expenditure of the sum of S125,OOO,OOo'
As an unemployment relief proposition 1T would
be a big success, as it would open work for an
army of q, 5000, for period of from three to SIX
years 1t is advocated as a selfiquidating PROJECT
calculation being that it would pay for itself within
40 years.
And this reminds that when Mr. Duke took over
the Great Falls project in South Carolina, the re
mains" of a waterway project advanced before
the warp were unearthed at that place, where the
stone-banked canal had been located and the rocks
used by Engineer Lee in the modern dam at that
place The course of this ante-bellum canal was
traced all the way up to Mountain Island, IN thls
state, where the rock walls yet line the banks OF

fate that overlook this up-the-Catawba waterway,
or as to the extent of its commerciazation, but 1t
