Soon

The call for bids, to be op-
ened at federal reclamation
bureau offices in Yuma on
Nov. 25, on the last five-mile
uncontracted section of the
All American canal was said to be
a signal victory by Evan T. HeWes,
chairman of the Imperial 1rriga-
tion District board of directors, and
M. j. DoWd, district superintend-
ent, in interviews this morning.
THE call for bids on this sector
brings the end, triumphant one,
of dreams, hopes and plans, cher
ished since the turn of the century,
in sight 1t means that in two
more years the entire dream of
seeing barren desert become fertile
farmland will materialize for I'm

said.
It am happy to see that this
step has been taken. 1t means
that in a comparatively short time
those who have worked SO hard to
materialize this long envisioned
goal will see the result of their eff
forts in a concrete form which will
be the embodiment of everything
they have struggled for. It brings
home the rapid approach of sue
cess in the fight against the desert, =
DoWd declared.

over dry woodland toward exclu-
sive Malibu lake in the Santa
Monica mountains. socialites and
film celebrities started evacuation
of their homes. Malibu lake is ap-
proximately Is miles inland from
the more populous Malibu beach.
Whipped by a strong wind, the
disastrous blaze, one of a series
of fires which have caused APP
proximately $9,50O,000 damage in
Southern California during the last
two days, swung toward the Malibu
mountain colony. The turn of the
fire relieved pressure on other film
homes at Malibu beach, but threat
ened equal property damage un-
less fire fighters halt its progress.
The fire line was reported five
miles from Malibu lake shortly
after noon, but residents of the re-
gion were not treasured and, in
many cases, started to move val

One death was attributed indi-
rectly to the fire. Richard Heime,
AZ, dropped dead Of heart disease
while watching the flames attack
his canyon home.
Fire wardens said there were no
homes in danger in the Escondido
district.
Numerous spot fires were still
raging in other mountain sections

were burning themselves out.
Authorities, taking another check
of damage caused by the fires and
high gales that accompanied the
outbreak, calculated losses at more
than S9000,000.
The damage included S4,000,000
by wind in citrus, avocado and 9TH
