ert and turned it into one of the
largest agriculture communities in
the United States.
We believe that the fair has done
more this year for Imperial Valley
nationally than has ever been done
before, due to the greatest agricul-
ture display ever shown following
a year of drought. We have shown
the people of the United States that
this community cannot be baked or
stopped. and will continue to forge
ahead.
With the construction practically
finished of the Boulder dam and
the building of the All-American
canal well under way this valley
will be the outstanding community
in the United States as far as agri-
culture is concerned
AS soon as our books are closed

On behalf of the fair commission

SACRAMENTO. Cal, March 2l.-
Liberalization of California laws
and pending bills developed into
strong demand today as the leg
islature moved toward consideration
of controversial measures which
may indicate the trend of definite
action to be taken before the final
recess.
Senatorial approval of a labor
measure and strong evidence of
assembly support behind bills pro-
posing to aid the forgotten man"
were followed by recommendations
of the lower house judiciary COM
mittee that California repeal its
gin marriage" law which requires
couples to wait three days after
filing notice of intention to wed.
The labor measure which won a
majority support in the upper house
was Senator Jerrold L. Seawells
bill to limit freight trains to a
maximum of 10 cars. While pro-
ponents trieG to stress the safety
angle. they admitted the strongest
argument in favor of the measure
was the labor consideration-the

PROPOSED Dam
STILL OPPOSED
Large Majority Of People
in Mills River Valley
Against Proposition
FLETCHER PEOPLE
ALSO AGAINST 1T

News that a petition was be-
ing circulated in Henderson and
Pennsylvania counties, to be pre-
sented to some government au-
thority, requesting the IVA to
build the Bent Creek dam, has
aroused the people of the French
Broad valley and this matter is
again the subject of discussion in
Mills River, at Fletcher, and in
other parts of the valley country
III Henderson county.
In the effort to ascertain If
there has been change of senti-
ment among the valley people in
regard to this matter, The Times
News made investigation, and for
the information of the public and
by request of a number of the
citizens of the valley makes this
statement in behalf of the people
who are opposed to the building
of the Bent Creek dam.
T. E. Osborne, president of the
French Broad Valley association
Horace L. Jeffress, Prof. G. D:
White and other residents and
land owners of Mills River, say
that there has been no change in
the views of the valley people.
Those who have been opposing
the construction of the dam are
still opposed, and they say that
the opposition is composed OF a
large majority of the citizens who
own the lands in the valley. Some
valley people have signed the pc
tition asking for the building of
the dam, but they represent a
very small part of the ownership
OF the acreage that would be
flooded by the dam.
Reports from Hooper's Creek
township are similar to those from
Mills River. There has been no
change of views among the peo-
ple of Fletcher and the surround
ing country who have been OPP
nosing the building of the dam,
as far as The Times-News has as
certained.
Mills River people are discuss
ing the calling of mass meeting
to renew their protest against the
proposition and may, also, clrcu-
iatp q petition against it. They
have Informed the IVA that If
this matter is to be settled by
n nett they desire to have the
opportunity to be heard in that
manner. This request has been
forwarded to DR.. A. E. Morgan,
chairman of IVA.

KICK OFF in ROSE BOWL GAME.
IS SET FOR Sis P. M. TODAY
$4,000 Fans to See Ala
bama-Stanford Game;
Betting Is Even
By GEORGE H. BEALE
United Press Staff Correspondent

PASADENA, Jan. 1.-(UP).-
The tournament of Roses annual
football game was all wrapped
I'D this morning, ready for de-
livery before some $4,000 fans IN
Rose Bowl as a new years gift.
The unbeaten teams Of Alabama
and Stanford went through their
final light practices yesterday
afternoons and were pronounced
in prime mental and physical con-
dition. ,
The weather bureau held fast
to a promise of cool but sunny
weather. :,
Historic Rose Bowl was sold
out its some S250,0O0 worth OF
tickets having been gone for more
than a week.
So we'll matched were the two
teams that all betting here was
at even money.
This was distince turnabout,
for a week ago Alabama was
favored 10 to s. The change was
attributable to the return to form
of three of Stanford's best men,,
Bobbie Grayson, All-American
fullback, Jim Moscrip, All-Ameri-
can end, and Keith Topping
Moscrip's fellow end. :,
Grayson had two cracked ribs
and Moscrip and Topping had
knee injuries. All three respond
ed to treatment and team physl-
clans believed they could last the
full 60 minutes
Alabama, too had nothing to
worry about in the way Of allIng
players. Jim Whatley, huge tackle
who has been nursing an inciplentt
case of Appendicitis, appeared
ready to play aIfull game. :.
The result of the game-it 1t
provides decisive victory -
should catapault the winner to a
national ranking along with I'M
defeated Minnesota.
The unbeaten, united Alabam-
ans claimed the best team ever to
come ont of the south. Ardent
Stanford supporters have called
the present Cardinal eleven the
Pacific coasts best in a decade,
even though it did have an early
season 7 to 7 deadlock with Santa
Clara.
The game will offer many in
teresting contrasts. Alabama was
the leading major eleven in scor-
ing during the year. 1t had 81
points scored against it. Stan
ford's defense never was pcne-
trated by running plays and the
two touchdowns against it thru
the season came by forward
passes. Stanford used power to
get through the fall undefeated
Alabama chiefly was noted fol
