NEVER BEATEN
BY OBSTACLES

If there were giants in those
days it was because Imperial VAL

they were beaten. Evidently they
didn't even know when they were
broke, or else they were used to
being that way.
AS if ii were a matter of course,

In l9ll-the year the district was
formed to acquire mutual water

district was embarrassed because
there were no funds"
Perhaps that was why the asses

SIS for time taken out for work
not connected with his office.
The embarrassment was still in
the deep crimson stage in 1912,
when each OF the directors ad-
vanced $3.50 out of personal funds

not so good in 1914, whe nthe board
borrowed $4,000 from Los Angeles
banks TO pay salaries
From then on, the going became
easier at least in obtaining funds

for the refunding OF Imperial r.

adopted by the district board of di-
rectors being substantially that rec
commended by the farm bureau.
During the period of water short
age in the summer Of 1884, the farm
bureau worked for and finally OBJ
tanned drought relief, also securing
indemnity payments for dairy cattle
in the t.b eradication program.
The county farm bureau played
an active part in the AAA program
and with the adoption of the new
agricultural conServations program
Immediately appointed a committee
to draw up recommendations adapt
ing the new program to valley needs,
these recommendations being sent
at once to the administrators.
Commissioners loans were first
introduced into the valley through
the efforts of farm bureau members
who brought officials to the valley,
went over the county with them
and secured the loans.
A farm-to-market road system, the
first link of which is being con-
Structed, disqualification and more
equitable representation in the state
senate are projects which the farm
bureau is supporting this year. In

great deal to increase the total

Much of the city's up -the-min-

The story of Brawleys beautiful
city hall is a story that was cir
culated in every community of the
United States when every com
munity was in the throeS of depres-
sion, In the words of the Brawley
chamber of commerce, "Brawley
needed city hall. Men needed
work. City water bills and taxes
had to be paid. Through the COM
bination this fine building of adobe
bricks was built at very nominal
cash outlay to the city, and with
no bond issue"
Fair Exchange
Construction was accomplished
by the labor of men who thus paid
their taxes and water bills, or by
the labor of other men who re-
ceived food orders on stores which
owed taxes. Materials were furnish
ed by much the same method.
All city offices, the city library
and chamber of commerce are
housed in the two wings of the
building

This is the monster structure which
will carry canal water across New

decided but tentative diagrams dis

length. Two enormous pipes. Is

TO the West Side main.
Included in the structure will be
a big concrete approach and out

approaches will vary in width from
60 to 40 feet and narrow down TO
the entrance into the trans river
tubes. On the other side of the
river water will gush into the con-
crete outlet channel and so into

Skipper LaCasa and Sister Come Near Drowning

Losing his 62-foot boat, the Alaskan, all his person. al property and deep sea diving equipment, valued at $7.O00, Capt.

 Capt. La Casa left here Saturday morning in the Alaskan to call tor hlS IT. year-old sister, Lois, who has been Vacationing at En- trance Island with Mir. and Mrs. Otto E. Wilde and their two children, Charles and Otto. Jr., for the past month. The two were re- turning in the Alaskan about 1 pm. when the pro- peller shaft broke.

bill have been wired to the delegates office in Wash D. C., by native own CTS and others of this sec ton. The text of the bill was printed some time ago in the Daily Nugget. Com muniratyons with the Dele gate with various agencies in Nome resulted in the above telegram being sent, and the reindeer situation for the present has been de flnitely postponed until this coming summer when Dele gate Dinond intends to take up personally with all concerned, the problem of framing a bill which will be suitable to all.
 As explained in his tele- gram, Delegate Dimond stated he would not SUD- port any bill which the na- tiVes themselves opposed. Previous communications assured parties interested that he was acting entirely for the benefit of justice in the matter, and since the present bill appeared not to be satisfactory he would withdraw it and wait until a new bill could be worked out.

 Reindeer Bill

The reindeer bill intro duced recently in Congress which has caused so much criticism and disapproval by native reindeer owners in the Second Division, has definitely been withdrawn until such time, possible next summer, when Dele gate Dimond can have an opportunity to work up a more suitable bill, by inter viewing them personally when he returns to Alaska.
 Such was disclosed in a telegram to Chairman of the Democratic Divisional Committee, John F. DeVine from Delegate Dimond. Following is the text of the telegram:
