move will be operation of its $4,OO0, 100000 work-relief pro- gram. Roosevelt has committed
 himself to giving every unep- ployed person who can work some kind of job and he confi- dently expects to do so, meanwhile taking others off the relief rolls through old age pensions and un- employment insurance. By rapid expenditure of all that money, Roosevelt once again hopes that businessI can be given the long-awaited stimulus which will send it on the way to a strong recovery.
 An attempt will be made to get enough of it out this summer, through wages and material pur- chases, to ward off the bad sum mer slump such as came last year.
 That four billion dollars will
 not be the end of government emergency spending. Few fore casters believe, even in optimistic moments. that private industry is likely to put more than a million of the 10 million unemployed back at work in 1885.
 u Is SSilSldiiy odPPOSCu AiSAS that government will be employ ing large work force for some years.
 PLANS STILL IN MAKING
 Except for general references to rural housing, slum clearance, rur- al identification, highways, grade crossings, and the like, the admin istration has kept its plans cont cealed.
 They're far from fully formu- lated anyway. but various agen- cies are working hard on them while Congress debates the bill authorizing the money.
 Probability that five billions or more of work relief funds will be poured out by November, 1886. along with other big items of money-such as the $1,500,000.O0O now being asked for more home loans and the farmer benefit pay ments--is one of several factors which seem to assure reelection of MT Roosevelt. As long as there is noE indica- ton that a majority of voters de-
 sires a return to republican rule,
 the only threat on the horizon is
 that raised by possibility of a third party.
 FAINT THIRD PARTY PERIL And the only substance to. that threat. now visible is a faint possi- bility that radical third ticket
 might lure away enough demo- cratic votes to let the repuhli-
 cans win popular majority. It's much too early to discuss | the idea very seriously, Roosevelt l is not now at the peak of his popularity. but he has in times past displayed brilliant technique
 in keeping his public behind him. He will make gestures to the left as they seem to him to be re- quired.
 Meanwhile. the New Deal Is headed toward more, rather than
 less, control over industry and | and finance.
 MIRA is to, be a permanent | agency of supervision and indus trial planning. Roosevelt .ig- nored the wishes of industrial
 representatives in MIRA when he

 Washington, March - You can almost always get any two persons to agree on at least one point about what's going to happen in the next couple of years under Roosevelt:
 It would be nice to know! You can hear forecasts in Wash ington of:
 A permanent boom. War. Col lapse. Fascism. A happy. grad ual, but steady eRergence into the dawn.
 Has Roosevelt any very clear idea of his future program? Is he running out of tricks? Is the administration betting on be- lief that something will turn up? Is the confusion in it's ranks a portent of more than temporary significance?
 Those questions are being asked here as well as elsewhere.
 New Dealers, warming you not to place too much faith in the recent business boomlet, hope for a gradual trend toward definitely better conditions, a steady in crease in the national income, slow progress in reforms along with recovery, and an increasing federal control over industry and finance.
 UTOPIA HOPE GONE
 The idea that Utopia could be achieved almost overnight died here about a year ago.

Our bashful correspondent, who remains adamant in his refusal to allow his name to he published in connection with his contributions, comes fOr- ward this week to fight the good fight for Daniel Boone. Says he:
 Good ole Dani'l Boone ncv- CT asked a monument in his memory when he was blazing q trail into the wilderness regions of America some 15O odd years ago. He never cared that his name should bccome.a bywOrd in later days as one that symbOiized the true pioneering spirit of those early settlers Of this nation. :. What he did he did in the spirit of tIie slowly forming nation. Boone was born in 1735. This Is the 20Oth anniversary of his birth. .. :. A commemorative stamp has been proposed. Is the sub jcct worthy of One?S. Who can deny 1t in the light of thcs distinguished men we have hOnOred of recent years by such issues. ~. History says that Boone spent most Of his life. hunting, trapping and lighting Indians, Boone i;,id the first trails into Indian territory too. ... He erected log cabins where later cities llOuriShcd. II. He brought land cultivation into the Wll- derness. .. Thanks to his courage and his pioneering spirit this nation expanded : rapidly towards the West. X. More, of these pioneers should be rightfully hOnOred by cOn- filelnOrative stamps. ... .; We think too little of them. In these trying times 1t is to such men as Boone and that great company of early Indian light CTS and wilderness path layers that we should look for exam pies of hardih0Od and nation building. z. "
 We like the idea very much. We like it so much that we have decided to throw the en- tire weight of the column be- hind it. Our Washington renr resentative will be instructed to devote himself exclusively henceforth to exerting pres sure in the proper quarter. The announcement of the issue will probably be made within the month.

POST. PLANS
FLIGHT FOR
WEDNESDAY

LOS ANGELES, Feb. IL. W.P)--
Within the next four days Wiley
Post will point his veteran plane,
the Winnie Mae, into the stratos-
phere in hope of reaching New York
within seven hours.
By flying in the rarified atmos-
phere $4,000 feet above earth, Post
believes he can cut at least three
hours from Col. Rosce Turner IS
cross-country mark of 10 hours, four
minutes.
So thin is the air in the "perfect
weather. zone that Post will obtain
his oxygen from tanks and will pro-
tect his body from cold with a rub
ber suit. During the flight he will
forego food and water, for his life
would be endangered if he opened
his. 16-pound helmet. s.4
Only at the finish of the flight
will weather conditions affect him.
After he climbs into the stratos-
pheric zone, the weather does not
change. A radio compass will direct
the plane to Floyd Bennett airport
in New York, where he will land
on wood skids. His landing gear
will be dropped as soon as he takes
to the air at Union terminal here.
That probably will be Wednesday,
Post said
Post expects the Winnie Mae, not
a modern speed plane, to average
450 to $40 miles an hour in the
stratosphere. SuperchargeS will keep
the motor at sea level efficiency,
while dropping the landing gear will
add 60 miles an hour to his speed,
he says.
Post, who encircled the earth
twice with the same plane, will
carry a cargo of airmail. He will
have $50 gallons of gasoline, enough
to keep him up 10 hours.

REAL ESTATE
OFFICER HERE

Thomas j. Murphy, assistant COM
missioner of the state real estate
department, was a visitor at the
chamber of commerce today to Sc
cure additional information about
the continued sales of lands in the
Chocolate mountain area, and also
lands and leases believed to contain
carbon dioXide gas. Murphy and
the department have been cooper
ating with the chamber of COM
| merce for a number of years in ef-
forts to stop fraudulent sales OF
worthless land.
Due to the activities OF the local
chamber and other civic and COM
mercial clubs throughout Califor-
MIA, the number has very much de-
creased, and operations now are
mostly conducted in the eastern
states.
During the course of his visit
| Murphy said, mo chamber of COM
/ merce in California is cooperating
with the state real estate depart
ment in endeavoring to stop the sale
of worthless lands to the extent
that is the Ell Centro Chamber. The
department is grateful for this helr
and in turn pledge our best efforts
to sop if we can these fraudulent
sales of valuless lands.

A recount of the votes cast for
the offices of treasurer and asses

trict election last Wednesday started
at irrigation district headquarters
this morning with board members
acting as the canvassing board. 1t
is expected that this recount Will
not be completed until late this az
ternoon or possibly tomorrow MORN
ing.
The board of directors met this
morning to canvass the returns OF
the election. The motion to proceed
with the canvass was made by d.
rector Kalin. Before vote could be
rector Yalin. Before vote could be
taken on this motion, Director Rose
objected to the contemplated cam
vass on the grounds that the pro-
ceedings had been illegally conduct
ed and stated that the whole elec-
ton should be thrown out.
Director Ira Aten agreed with
Roses statement that 1t should be
determined that all the ballots cast
at the election were not to be count
ed, otherwise he agreed with the
remainder of the board that the
canvass should proceed. Harry w.
Horton, chief counsel for the dis
trict, stated that only the regular
ballots, /. e., those which had not
been stamped as voted by special
permission, were to be counted.
With this statement Director Aten
and Director Rose decided that they
would not take part in the canvass
of the returns.
Evan T. Hewes, chairman of the
board, then called for q roll call
vote on the motion of Director
Young. The vote was as follows:
yes: Directors Hewes, Young and
Kalin; no: Directors Rose and
Aten, the latter agreeing with the
majority of the board if all the
votes cast were to be counted, but
against the motion if only certain
part was to be tabulated.

went to the Bank of America to Sc
cure the two boxes containing the

by what authority the statement
concerning the qualifications of the

in the precinct rosters. He was an

this had been done on his instruc-
