In bold, black type he read the

FINE TALK BY
". F. HOL 7

w. F. Holt. of RedlandS. pioneer
resident of Imperial Valley, was
speaker of the day for the Lions
club, giving an intensely interesting
talk of the early days of the val
ley.
Holt opened his remarks with his
account of how he came to the val
ley after selling out his business in
Arizona. stating that had he real
lied the immensely of the project
in settling the valley and bringing
water to it, he would in all proba-
bility never have come. c. r. Rock
wood. one of the first engineers in
the valley, was the one to interest
Holt in settling here.
He described the first hotel in
the valley. the first store, the ar
rival of his brother, Leroy, in the
valley. the building of the first rail-
road. which he started and which
later was sold TO the Southern Pa
cific.
In the early days the valley was
a part of San Diego county and
Holt told of the experiences of the
first justice of the peace and the
first deputy sheriff.
Law enforcement in those days
was somewhat difficult as there
were no jails, no prisons, no way
of furnishing an offender. Out OF
necessity. valley residents invited
a subtle form of punishment which
proved highly effective. If anyone
broke a law. word was passed
around and the offender was
promptly boycotte6. Few could
stand the boycott and nearly all
moved away.
He told OF his attempts to secure
a stenographer, of writing to var
ious business schools and finally
engaging a young man by the name
of r. p Moore. now head OF the
Imperial Ice and Development Co.
Various experiences with other
pioneers, including j. L. Travers,
pioneer builder and Moore, were
described, the members finding
these "reminiscences of great inter-
est.

No Unit Voting Rule
In Arlington Association.

"A N UNUSUAL situation is to be
n found in the recent action of
the Arlington Citizens Asso-
citation on the proposed ordinance
to legalize boxing in Arlington
County. Strong disapproval of the
ordinance was voiced by action of
the association. Then the very
unusual thing was done of in
structing the delegates to the Ar
lington County Civic Federation to
divide their vote in that body-3
against to l in favor. 1t was
explained that this division repre-
sentS the division of sentiment in
the association upon that question.
This Is along the theory of the
system of proportional voting.
The accepted practice in the Dis
trict is for the delegates to the
Federation of Citizens Associations
to vote in that body so as to voice
the action of the majority of their
