TO THE WATER USERS OF THE
CITY OF Ell CENTRO
Aug. 9. 1884


Reports from the Engineers of the 1mper-
ia Irrigation District show that the recent flash
head of water down the Colorado river was of
such short duration that it was only sufficient
to nearly fill the reservoir formed by the dam
at Andrade. The river at the Grand Canyon
yesterday was 1890 second feet the lowest read
ing since records have been made of the flow at
this point.
AT 10 p. m. tonight, Thursday,
Aug. 9, all irrigation shall be dis
continued and the previous rules
issued to govern the use of water
will'be effective.
The rules are as follows:
No irrigation of lawns.
No washing of cars.
Trees and shrubs to be irrigated
Thursday nights only between the
hours of D. m and II D. m. o'clock
midnight.
Do not irrigate street trees
Protect and conserve all moisture
around trees and shrubs by suit
able covering.
MAKE ALL POSSIBLE USE of
waste water from the house.
Do not let faucets run; watch
leaks. -.
DiscOnnect your hose from the
hydrants except on Thursday
nights when irrigating.
Tampering with cutoff valves
and meters is prohibited by Ordin-
ance If any changes are neces-
sary. call the water department..
The city council and city officials have
gone to considerable expense and labor to pro-
vide emergency storage and equipment to main
tain pure and safe water, No human being
can forsee the extent nor the seriousness of the
water shortage due to the continued drought.
The city officials are doing their utmost to carry
the city through with the least possible harm.
They gratefully appreciate the splendid cooper
alton of the people. The mayor has ordered that
definite action be taken against those few who
attempt to profit at their neighbors' expense by
secretly appropriating water from the limited
supply.
Respectfully submitted,
PHILIP w. KNIGHTS,
City Engineer.

PORTLAND, Me-, June 16.-A quiet
primary election campaign, devoid of
State issues, but in which the Roose-
welt policies were discussed, Virtually
came to close in Maine tonight.
An unaroused electorate will nomi-
nate candidates for the United States
Senate, Governor and three United
States Representative seats Monday.

Generally, candidates presented
their personal qualifications, with
some Republicans condemning phases
Of the Roosevelt program. On the
other hand, the campaigning Demo-
Gratis lauded their leader.
Lighter Vote Forecast.
A lighter vote than that cast in
1882. when nearly 10000 votes were
polled, was expected, although multi
tude of candidates appeared likely to
make the primary ponderous affair.
Gov. Louis j. Brann, Names
first Democratic Governor in 16 years,
was unopposed for denomination.
Four Republicans desired to oppose
him in the Fall. They are Alfred K.
Ames, Machias lumberman; Frank w.
Carlton of Woolwich, an executive
councillor; Bin w. Page, Skowhegan
bank president, and Donald B. Par
fridge, Norway lawyer.
If campaign expenditures were any
gauge of activities. then Carlton was
the most active for he topped the
field with reported payments of more
than $4,000. Page ran close second.
Hale Is Opposed.
United States Senator Frederick
Hale, Republican, of Portland, was
opposed for denomination by Louis A.
Jack, Lisbon lawyer, whose delight is
to attack power interests" and fight
for the working man" Hale has been
in the Senate since 1917.
Three Democrats believe they can
defeat Hale in September-Paul C..
Thurston, Bethel lumberman: Clinton
Stevens, Bangor lawyer, and F. Harold
Dubord, Waterville, national commit
teeman.
Six Republicans wanted the United
States Representative nomination in
the second district. They were zelma
M. Dwinal, Camden lawyer; George
C. Wing, jr.. mayor of Auburn; Ralph
w. Farris, Augusta lawyer; Arthur B.
Lancaster, Gardiner lumberman; S.
Sewall Webster. Augusta city clerk,
and Frederick P Bonney of Rangeley.
In the same district Representative
Edward C. Moran, Democrat, of Rock
land, was opposed by Arthur l. Hersey
of Auburn.
Representative Carroll L. Beedy,
Republican, of Portland, was un-
opposed in the first district, as was
Simon M. Hamlin, Democrat, also of
Portland.
Ralph o. Brewster Of Decter, twice
Governor. sought the Republican
nomination for the national House
in the third district. He was op-
posed by Col. Frank M Hume,
Houlton World War veteran. Rep

crat, whose victory over Brewster in

INDUSTRY LOANS
ACTION FINISHED
Congress Adopts ConfereeS'
Compromise-Steagall
and Glass Clash.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
After long dispute, Congress COM
pleted action last night on a bill to
make $3.50 100000 available for five
year loans to industry in an effort to
stimulate employment.
Conferees reached compromise
agreement after hours of negotiation.
and then the Senate and House
adopted their conference report in
quick order.
However, the measure was in
serious danger of being lost before
the two bitter antagonists on banking
legislation, Senator Glass of Virginia
and Representative Steagan OF
Alabama, agreed to the compromise.
Glass, on behalf of the Senate, was
holding out for provision directing
the Treasury to turn $4,000, 900 over
to the Federal Reserve Banks to swell
their surplus for loans to industry.
Steagall, chairman of the House
Banking Committee, was equally in
sistent on eliminating this provision.
SOhoPSC AhlCdtChEu
Half dozen times during the long
conference in hot Senate committee
room, the negotiations threatened to
collapse. Secretary Morgenthau and
Eugene Black, governor of the Federal
Reserve Board, were anxiously waiting
in an ante room for an agreement.
Finally. colleagues of the two foes
emerged and announced smilingly
that an agreement had been reached
whereby the Treasury would be au-
thorized, but not directed, to furnish
the fund.
The legislation had been earnestly
requested by the administration as one
of its major steps to bring about a
revival of the capital goods industry.
Hope to Provide Jobs.
By providing ample five-year credit
to business, administration officials
believe they can encourage industrial
leaders to undertake many job-provid-
ing enterprises that are now awaiting
funds.
Under the final agreement the bill
provides:
A fund of s276 100000 in Federal
Reserve banks for flve-year loans
through financial institutions, with
the latter taking 20 per cent of the
risk or directly to private business in
extraordinary circumstances.
A fund of S300,000,000 in the Re-
construction Finance Corporation for
loans direct to private industry up to
five years in length, but limited to
$500,000 to a single borrower.
Authority for the r. F. C. to lend
100000 to school districts for
teachers salaries and $25,000.000 to
drainage districts.
New powers for the R. F. C. to COM
promise claims against railroads to IA
cilitate their reorganization, to finance
foreign trade through exports banks
and to make loans on more liberal
terms than heretofore.

THE NIGHT BEFORE

Men who could look back and recall
marching in the torehlight parades for
Blaine, Tilden, Cleveland. Mckinley and
Roosevelt, must have been struck by the
sharp contrast which the night before
election offered this year.
There were no street corner orators
shouting at a collection of voters, endeav-
oring to drive home the gospel at the
last moment; no blaring bands; no par
AIDES. 1t was as quiet on the streets as
on any other night, a decided change
from the old days.
The changed situation can be charged
UP TO the radio, which last night was
quite different from the radio of the
average evening. Crooners, blues sing
ers and Jazz orehestras were conspicuous
by their absence. Almost every station
offered a political orator who, by means
of the mike, was reaching thousands
of listeners, whereas the old street-cor-
ner orator was able to reach hundreds.
And the old timer who marched in the
torchlight parades would have noticed
another difference. Not few radio sta
tions offered women orators who held
forth as good as the men, probably bet
ter, in eXhorting for their particular
candidates. In the days of the torch
light parades the women might Nessibly
stand on the curbstone and clap demure-
~ now and then, but that was the extent
of their political activity.
How many voters of today would be
willing to get out and march five or more
miles carrying a smoky torch because
they believed in the candidate they were
supporting? Not many. How many would
stand in discomfort on the street corner
listening to a spell-binder? Still fewer,
when the comfort of an easy chair in
front of the radio is available for them
Perhaps that is one way to explain
why we have so much difficulty in get
ting people Interested in political affairs.
1t takes real threat like Sinclair to
wake the majority of Us up and consid-
cred from this angle we owe something
to Sinclair, for generating real inter-
est in politics.
