Formerly registration booths
were established on street cor.
nera, 10 various drug stores aud
grocery stores. and registration
clerks even canvassed homes to
0etSas many persons as possible
on the lists.
AS g result, thousands Of
house wives ware registered and
then later prevailed upon TO go
TO the polls whom the politicians
feer will not now go to the
trouble Of making trip to the
recorders OF justice Of tn e
peace's Office.
They dce't know this will hap
pen, but they are fearful.
Some of the provisions Of the
1ew law are reproduced below:

One Injured In
Three Accidents

Three traffic accidents were re-
ported to local police yesterday in
which one person sustained pain
full but not serious injuries.
Jose Perez, a pedestrian walking
on the right side of the road just
south of the city limits was struck
by an automobile driven by Foster
Smith, Ell Centro, at 6:15 O'Clock
last evening. Perez suffered sun
dry bruises and broken left leg.
Smith was coming into the city on
the Calexico highway at the time
of the accident, the report states
Cars driven by John Schmidt and
Nell Parkey, both of Ell Centro, col
lided at the intersection of Seventh
and State streets at 1910 p. M,
yesterday, another report states.
No one was injured and but minor
damages caused to the two cars.
Another collision happened at 2
clock yesterday morning when
cars driven by Warren Brooks, Ell
Centro and George Hora, Calexico
met at the intersection of Fifth
and Orange streets. No injuries
were reported in this accident, and
damage to the cars was nominal.

HAIL COLUMBIA!

California wants no more of Columbia
All the ethics that go with good-sports-
manship were trampled in the dirt (or
was it mud) by this bunch of pigskin
chaserS from the home of Father Knick-
erbocker and they decorated the Land
of Sunshine with a beautiful double
cross, or it might better be a handful of
double crosses
Right from the start Columbia did the
wrong and unsportsmanlike thing. In
stead of doing their training in Califor-
MIA they hung out in Tucson, Arizona,
thereby giving the insult deadly to every
Native Son and Daughter, every cham
ber of commerce and every newspaper in
this state.
Then, in an underhanded manner, they
had their scouts circulating around
through the Southwest, telling what a
wonderful team Stanford had and admit
ting that Columbia might as we'll have
stayed at home. In this way they were
able to get odds as high as 21s to one
against them, and their slick talks caused
many loyal Californian to fall for it.
Their next step was in the matter of
weather There is no explanation of what
happened in this line around Los Angeles
except to say that Columbia had hand
in it and big hand at that. The dirti-
est spell Of weather Los Angeles has had
since 1877 came just in time to wreck
the Tournament of Roses, which we know
is spectacle second only to parade in
heaven.
Finally, these scalawags from Gotham
climaXed their knavery by trouncing the
Stanford team. They not only trounced
them but shut them out. And they did
it in the presence of the most notable
alumnus Stanford has, the eX-President
of the United States.
Other things which may be charged to
Columbia might be forgiven but this
never
Californians were taken hook line and
sinker by bunch of city slickers, steep
ed in ways that are dark and tricks that
are vain.
Are we peeved? Not exactly that.
Had we been licked fairly and squarely
we would take our trouncing and like it,
but we were undermined and the deal
was from the bottom of the pack.
From Del Norte in the north to I'M
perial down here in the south and from
Long Beach back to Truckee, Califor-
mans today are united on one shout
I'VE want no more of Columbia, they

TYLER URGES
UNIFIED CITY

In a statement issued today w.
H. Tyler, president of the Ell Centre
Chamber of Commerce, announced
that the slogan of the people of Ell
Centre for the year 1894 should be,
"All for one and one for all
"This may seem a trite quotation, y
said Tyler, c.but it was never more
applicable than it is today at the
dawn of the new year, when we
are emerging from the depressed
economic condition which has pre-
vailed throughout the country and
the world during the past several
years. In other words, let us all
pull together for a greater Ell Cen
tro.
"The tide has turned in Imperial
Valley and we are undoubtedly on
the threshold of better things. Ag-
ricultural crops, with the single ex-
ception of butterfat used for man
ufacturing purposes, have shown an
improvement. The CWA and other
governmental agencies have put,
and are putting, many dollars into
circulation in Ell Oentro and this
community generally. The early
commencement of construction of
the All-American canal is sure to
release many thousands of dollars
into retail trade channels in Ell
Centro, irrespective of how con-
struction is accomplished. Christ
mas trade in the city was way
ahead of that in several years past
and indicated renewed hope.
Building activity in Ell Centro
has recommended, Tyler contin-
ued, "and building permits for the
year 1884 are expected to exceed
those of the last several years. I
was much interested in the report
released yesterday by Roger w.
Babson, economist and business an
alysist, who states that the cycle
of depression has turned and that
the year 1884 will be a year of def
mite and positive upsWing with re-
newed prosperity for the United
StateS.''
In conclusion Tyler stated, "To
improve conditions in Ell Centro as
quickly as we can it is necessary
that we do pull, work and act to-
gether. Our common objective
should be improved business and
upbuilding of this community. This
can be accomplished, and will be
accomplished, if all would keep be-
fore them the motto of greater
Ell Centro and strive to obtain that

Mrs. Longears had to buy a new
egg beater, which she wished she
had done in the first place as tf.en
the kitchen wouldn't have been in
such a mess.
"And 1 think, Wiggy," she said
to her husband as she saw him take
the clock down off the wall, that
you had better not try to fix it. l

is, very likely, worn out"
"Oh, no." he said, Il can fix this
so it will be as good as new. Prob
ably all it needs is a new wheel or
bit Of wire. I'll fix it,"
The clock was one of the electric
! kind. 1t hung on the wall and from
it wire ran to the nearest c,ec-
trio light socket. TIE clock had
big hand and a little hand and
a tiny hand that went around
quite fast, marking the seconds.
Uncle Wiggily took the clock
down off the wall, pulled the wire
from the electric light socket and
was going to sit down to the kitch-
Ell table to work VIXEN his wife
said:
mo, Wiggy dear, we cant have
you messing around here. If you
are going to fix that clock, which
don't believe you can do, take
it somewhere else
I'll take it up in my room" said

and for some time his wife and
Nurse Jane heard him hammering
pounding, talking to himself and
making funny noises.

"It vii! be like the time he tried to

ished fixing it all the tunes played
backward. Oh, it was dreadful"
| But up in his room Uncle Wig
gily was working away at the clock
Now and then he could be heard
singing and then, all of sudden
! he gave a loud shout and cried
Help! Help! Help!" Queer noises
came from the rabbit gentleman's
room, where he was fixing the
! clock. Nurse Jane and Mrs Long
ears ran upstairs. And what they
saw I'll tell you in the story to-

THE Los ANGELES FLOOD

Sympathy of the entire states goes out
to the Los Angeles area for the tragic
storm which visited over the weekend,
leaving a death toll of at least two score,
with many others missing, thousands
homeless, and extensive property dam
age.
Records existing for several decades
were broken by the flood of rain loosed
by the heavens, so that in "a hours an
average years rainfall was recorded.
Streams that have been dry for years,
became swollen torrents, carrying along
tons of debris and sweeping buildings be-
fore them.
Holiday revelers, residents of modest
homes and motorists were caught up in
the flood and swept to their death.
Tragedies of this sort are usually so
remote from US that we seldom think
how awful they can be until they are
brought home to us as in the case of Los
Angeles.
Fortunately there are sufficient re-
sources in Los Angeles and vicinity to
prevent any extensive suffering. Already
relief has been rushed into the devast-
ated area and there will be sufficient
supplies for all who need them.
1t is an unauspicious start for the new
year, but should not cause undue dis
tress on this account. Imperial Valley
recalls the time it ushered in the new
year with violent earthquake and suf-
fered no long drawn out distress from it.
Quite often it is desirable to get rid of
ones bad fortune right at the start rath-
er than have it sprinkled throughout the
course of time.
The area struck by the storm will
"come back. In fact it is quite likely
that already the storm is being taken as
matter of course, something that will
be forgotten in a short while. Man is
frightened but not defeated by such out
bursts of nature
