What Chamber
Does For City
March !, 1895

MaTCH L. 1880
Mr. e. L. Rickel,
E. L. Rickel--Grain,
Salina, Kansas.
Dear Mr.. Rickel:
In conformity with your request
of February 25th, we are sending
you under separate cover, booklets
and folders descriptive of Imperial
Valleys agriculture.
The completion of Boulder dam,
which is now impounding water for
Imperial Valley, and the building
of the All-American canal, now un-
der construction, which will keep
our water supply entirely in Amer
lean territory, offer new induce
Gent for. settling in Imperial Vai..
ley. We have, as you must know,
a 12-months' growing season here
with our fields perenially green.
We should have, from now on, an
absolutely infallible supply of irri-
CATION water, with no fear what
ever of any such calamities as
drought or flood, thereby absolute
ly assuring crop maturity. We are
here In the faStest-growing section
of the fasteSt-growing state OF the
Union, state which doubled its
population between the census years
of 1920 and 1880 and which has,
despite the economic depression af-
fecting the world, made material
gains in population since the 1880
census.
Rates of interest for farm mort
cages held by private parties, run
from seven to eight per cent, but
government loans are made here
at the same rates charged else
where. All agricultural commodi-
ties are apparently going up in
price and those products which are
grown in Imperial Valley, such as
cotton, wheat, barley, milo maize
and alfalfa hay, beef and pork.
have all shown material advances
in price. This, of course, means
added return to the farmer based
on his land investment.
Land prices in Imperial Valley
have of course been affected by the
low prices for agricultural COM
moditieS which have hitherto pre-
vailed, and if members of your Or
ganization are contemplating in
vestment, here, this would be the
opportune time because with the
greatly improved water conditions,
already the best In the western
hemisphere, and with the return of
normal agricultural prices, land
values will of course again advance
here. - 90
Very truly yours,
Robert Hays,
49, Secretary Manager.

' Relief Roll Grows

This committee does not feel that
the program was to have it fair and
honest and to prevent the breaking
down of the morale of our people.
We have not indulged in personal
animoSities nor sought to interfere
in any way with the proper admin
istration of relief. Gu.
Today there are 22,37500 persons
on relief rolls in the U. s. Two years
ago there were less than half. this
number
This committee dos not feel that
the present system of social service
workers can succeed as once the av-
erage person is on the relief rolls
he makes no effort to obtain other
employment. This breaks down the
Morale of the people and will even
tually lead to the outright dole un-
less the conditions are corrected.
Our committee has always had
the utmost confidence in the work
of local visitors and feels that they
are perfectly competent TO handle
the work necessary in Imperial VAL
ley for they understand valley peo-
pie and valley conditions.

ed splendid support and encour-
agement from the board of super
visors, directors of the Imperial Ir-
rigation district and other county
officials, to whom we extend our
sincere thanks for their patience.

their kindly aid which has always
been extended to us.

our committee has shut down the
entire work program in order to
harvest crops. 1t worked out most
successfully. Last year when field
work started, the case load took q
big drop as clients went into the
fields to work. This year the case
load continued to increase. We found
five times the number of F7ilipinos
in the valley and large numbers of
MexicanS crossing the line every day
to do field work ordinarily done by
valley labor. The valley labor stayed
on the SERA rolls.
Every effort was made by our
committee to make these men take
field work. Our committee told the
social service workers we felt the
case load could be reduced 25 per
cent or more by closer investigation
and by insisting that men take field
work available for them. We were
Informed that the case load could
not be reduced any more than per
cent. Yesterdays Thursday valley
papers carried articles stating that
$50 families were taken off the re-
lief rolls because they were found
to have other income or had obtain
ed other work. This is reduction OF
25 per cent. We tried to have this
done go days ago.
Our committee has always oppos-
ed outside workers on important jobs
feeling that valley residents are in
better position to understand VAL
ley conditions. We had authority to
pass on applications for employment
of local persons but not on outside
people.

 KNOCKOUT LIST
Bout Goes to Chicago in. AugustOne of Two
 Maxes in September

New York, June 2s--(UP)-- Joe Louis, Detrolt's negro heavy- weight contender, will meet King Levlnsky, colorful Chicagoan, in his next bout at one of the Chicago ball parksh in mld-Aug,fst.
 Promoter Mike Jacobs. who holds a contract on Louis for two fights, has released Louis to per- init to keep active. The Chicago bout will be promoted by Nate Lewis or Joe Foley. Both are bid. ding for the match. Modesty
 Levlnsky, who saw Louis stop Primo Camera, believes he can hand the Detroiter his first pro. fessional setback.
 "That wicked right of mine will make him see stars" the "Kins" said.
 Louis will fight in New York again in September, but his oppo- nent has not been determined. if Max Baer's hands are in shape then, he probably will get the match. If not, Max Schmeling may be imported from Germany to face the Detroit dynamiter. Joe Jacobs, Schmellngs manager, leaves this weekend for Germany to see the Schme cling Pauline Uzucudun bout July [ and will attempt to bring the former champion back with him,

YANKEE CIRCUIT PROVEST BROTHERS
 STILL POPULAR

Springfield, Ma ss, June 2s.-- Especially Formation here ot the new Yankee Circuit, comprising tho half.nile trotting rings ut Northampton and Sturbridge, Mass, as standard bred turf fans had visions of curtailed racing in New England this season has proved to sponsors of the new loop that interest in the harness sport is growing in the area where 1t first took firm root nearly two centuries ago.
 Faced by an emergency when the Bay State Circuit began to show signs of crumbling, sports men of New England rallied be- hind the leadership of James H.. Porteous, Middletown, Conn.,, and w. H. Dickinson, Hatfield, Mass, in forming the new Yankee Cir cult which will inaugurate four weeks of harness stepping at Northampton and Sturbridge.
 Under Way
 Mp. Porteous heads the new cir cult which kicks off it's 1885 sea- son at Northampton June 27-2s-29 and continues July 4-5-e.

|O'MAHONEY DOWNS| |LONDOS IN WILD|
 WRESTLING BOUT
Greek Thrown for First Time in Six Years;
 Seeks George Next

Boston, June 2S-(U.P.)--Undis- puted claim to the worlds, heavy weight wrestling championship was now the goal of Danno o'Mahoney, young Irish heavyweight who end- ed the six.year reign of Jimmy Londos, veteran St. Louis Greek in a one-fall match at Fenway Park last night.
 O'Mahoney relieved Londos of his title claims with q flying scis- sors in one hour, IS minutes, 50 seconds before a crowd of S0,000.
 The 22-year.old 1rishman's next objective is a bout with Ed Don George of North Java, N. r., recog- nized as champion in several states and Canada.
 Jim Getting old The result of last nights bout was another case of youth being served. From the outset O'Mahoney took the offensive, with the cagey 3S-year-oid London content to re. main on the defensive, biding his time until he felt 1t opportune to reverse the procedure. The Greeks first serious bid for fall did not come until after more than an hours grappling, and led only to his own finish.
 Summoning his reserve strength, Londos got the jump on his young CT opponent and punished him with a series of flying mares, that for few moments made 1t look bad for Danno, and for the first time in the bout made him resort to his patent hold, the Irish whip,
 Securing the hold, O'Mahoney, instead of hurling his opponent over his shoulder as was his cus- tom, whipped the Greek into the ropes. As Londos rebounded from the ropes o'Mahoney slammed him to the mat with flying mare.
 Wore Him Down
 Four times this was repeated, and when the shaken and weaken ed Greek caromed off the ropes the fifth time, O'Mahoney bore him to the mat with Q flying scissors for the only fall of the contest.
 During the early stages of the bout O'Mahoney used only ortho- dox holds to weaken the title- holder, body scissors and spreads being the most effective. After the bout oMahoney said he was wor- ried only twice, both occasions when Londos punished him with e-holds. At times Londos resorted to fisticuffs but o'Mahoney did not retaliate until near the end of the bout, and the blow he landed on the Creeks jaw may have hasten- cd his downfall.

GOOD GOLF
By BILL KI.IsH

In golf, short shots are the ones that count. In making a short mashie shot, the main thing to rely upon is to get proper direction. The average golfer should practice the short nnashie shots and when he is able to hit 6 run up or pitch shot right at the pin he will find out for himself that this shot to him will be q great stroke saver.
 The golfer must learn to take the club back i'm a straight line and Dc positive ly sure that the head will go through straight on the line; otherwise the ulashie shot will be a hook or a slice. have seen too many golfers make . sloppy stab at the short nsashie shots and I bee licvc that their trouble is this: They are shooting at and NOT THE GREEN.
 IT golfers would oniy prac- fice fhis constantly they wiii learn fo get the baiis straight and judge the right dlrcciios with the result that many halls wlil be laid dead and some will esen be hoied 0ui.

 the rest, and became tho most magnetic attraction in the history of the bone-bending industry. Londos Puts It On
 Londos climaxes most of his ex- hibitions with the airplane spin. This consists of the Gorgeous Greek hoisting his opponent high in the air, whirling him around several times, and then dumping him headlong to the boards. It never fails to send the customers away rejoicing.
 Jim Browning Is a first-rate wrestler and had bright idea in his airplane scissors. with which he whiried rivals about the cam vas. But Browning was too color- less in other departments to re. main on top for long.
 Savoidi's flying drop-kick Is one of the most spectacular manewvers introduced by the new school.
 Danno o'Mahoney, the latest Irish star, who Is Q tremendous card in Boston, skyrocketed to fame with the Irish whip. O'Ma- honey grabs his man by the wrist with both hands, Jerks him to- wards him, lowers his left shoul- der, and then gives him a heave over his bacg and jumps on him. Many times the young giant of West Cork whirls his rival dizsily around him several times before giving him the shoulder.
 O'Mahoney can at least explain the Irish whip.

& HARRY CRIMSON

New York, June 2s-When 1t was announced that Chief Little Wolf was to get whack at Jim Londos' heavyweight wrestling championship here on July 8. im- mediately suspected that the chal- lenger had some kind of special hold.
 Sure enough, when the press agents got busy, 1t was disclosed that Chief Little Wolf had Q de- vastating weapon in the Indian death.lock.
 The Indian death-lock undoubt- edly would have been something new to the late Frank Gotch, but 1t sounds fearsome, and that IS what the promoters have looked for since Gus Sonnenberg revolu- tionized the antiquated dodge.
 Sonnenberg, 1t will be recalled, put the mat behemoths in the im- portant money with the flying tackle. The tackle. which really Is butt. easily can be avoided, but 1t supplies thrills, and the mat. men, good showmen, have made the most of 1t.
 Sonnenberg was great lineman at Dartmouth and Detroit, and his success in wrestling brought many other college athletic stars into the profession. Included among them are Jim McMillen, of Illinois; Ed Don George. of Michigan; Len Ma caluso, of Colgate; Ralph McCrea- dy, of Oklahoma A. < M.; Jump ing Joe Savoldi, of Notre Dame; Sam Cordovano, of Georgetown; George Wilson, of Washington; and Century Milstead, of Yale.
 Used to Be Legitimate
 Grappiers specialized in holds before the large boys turned the game into circus, but they were legitimate grips.
 Gotch made rivals quit with the toe hold. Joe Stecher introduced something new in the body scis- sors. Ed Strangler Lewis squeezed opponents into submission with the headlock. Dick shikat Is an expert with Q crotch and half-Nelson. Rudy Dusek is particularly formid- able with the cradle rock.
 These holds were-and are--- legitimate. Stecher, for instance, was blessed with unusually long and powerful legs. The Nebraska Farmer Boy, by breaking sacks of wheat, developed the hold which took him to the heights. Lewis practiced with mechanical head, the two sides of which were held together by a powerful spring. The Kant,iNLi ia nta daiIy dn1en cnn aiataA of squeezing this mechanical head until the spring creaked uncle. The better of the old line of wrestlers were lost when Sonnen- berg swept acrobatics into the business. Their acting had been confined to grunting and grimac- ing, and they found that the pa- rade had passed by.
 Taking their cue from Sonhen- berg, other wrestlers went in for histrionics in a large way, with Londos leading the procession.
