DATE CHANGED
ON QUARANTINE
CONFERENCE

The secretary of agriculture is
sued a notice recently announcing
that a public hearing would be held
to consider the advisability of quar-
antining the states of California,
Colorado, New Mexico, Texas and
Utah, on account of the peach mo-
sale disease, and of restricting or
prohibiting the movement of peach
and nectarine trees and parts there
of from these states or from any
districts therein designated as in
fected. The hearing was first set
for Monday, Sept. IA, at the Bu-
reau of Entomology and Plant
Quarantine, Washington, D. c.
Since the release of the notice,
it has been found desirable to extend
the scope of the hearing to include
the State of Arizona, where the
disease has recently been found, and
to change the date and place of the
hearing to September 81 in Albu-
querque, N. M.

pressed the golden key in his office,
he started supplying power to south
ern California. Actually, power supply
will not be available until the future.
It did mark, however, the opening of all
twelve spillway valves, something which
probably will never occur again as only
six will ever be required to carry the
power load at one time.
The importance of the occasion far
transcribed such minor considerations
as valves, or that the water fall is great
ter than Niagara, and other such bald
statistics. To the people of southern
California it means an important step
in the generation, by the government,
of tremendous electric power.
While Imperial Valley is not person
ally interested in the generation of Boul-
der Dam power, it is interested to the
extent that it symbolizes governmental
interest in power projects of the people.
It is further interested because of the
remarks of the chief executive at the
time he opened the valves. Some may
feel the presidents statement was ex-
treme. Be that as it may, the ajority
of valley people will appreciate his
words which reiterated the administra-
tons unwavering belief in such prof.
ects as the district ownership, develop
ment and distribution of power which IS
closer to the heart of Imperial Valley
than any other issue.

THE GASOLINE
TAX DIVISION


gasoline tax money between the super
visorial districts on a different basis
than heretofore. With one or two emerg-
ency exceptions each district has for
years received 20 per cent. This method
was found to be the best because there
could be no agreement on any other plan.
District No. l wanted larger shares be-
cause it includes the remote Bard area.
District No. 2 favored division in ratio
TO gasoline sales because it sold more
fuel than any other section. The Braw-
ley district having the most road miles
desired division on that basis. SO the
5-way-equal-split plan was agreed to and
has been followed as a compromise.
Last week, however, the new division
was made on basis which Supervisor
Osborne vehemently opposed and which
is as follows:
District l, (ncluding Calexico and
represented by Chairman Ike Schlatter)
will receive the usual 20 per cent as
heretofore
District 3, (including Imperial and
represented by A. Y Preble) will re-
ceive 10 per cent, only one per cent less
than heretofore.
District 5, Gncluding Holtville and
represented by Dave VencilD will re-
ceive the usual 20 per cent
District 4, (including Brawley and
represented by B. NJ. Graham) will re-
ceive % per cent of the money.
District 2, (inciuding Ell Centre and
represented by Osborne) UiH receiue
only Is per cent, the I0Uest of any dis
fricf.
1t was commendable that Osborne
should bitterly fight the proposal. Ev-
eryone in District No. 2 will praise
him for doing so. In fact, probably most
of them will unite in suspecting con-
nivery, especially as Dave Vencill of
Holtville voted with Osborne against
previous effort to set the Ell Centro dis
trict figure at 16 per cent. For that,
District can thank Vencill and express
appreciation.
Osborne is planning to hold a public
hearing Sept. 21 so that those who desire
to express their opinions on the division
may have chance to do so. Leaders
and everyone who has any feelings on
the matter should attend and be prepar-
ed to present their observations.
District 2 should bear in mind, how
ever that regardless of the rightness or
wrongness of the division, there is an
other factor to consider.
El Centre is becoming more and more
the hub of valley business. The easier
it is of access from remote parts of the
valley, the more Ell Centro business can
be expected to grow. No one can gainsay
that such a growth would aid this entire
district, farmer and city resident alike.
Therefore, if Osborne can maintain his
roads in an A l manner with his Is per
cent, and not handicap any of the farm
ing areas, it might be worthwhile giving
the lions share to the Brawley area with
its greater mileage. On this basis of
reasoning, the extra dollars allowed
District No. would be in the nature
of a community investment in the future
growth of District No. 2.
Such reasoning is. however, founded
on the. assumption that the other dis
tricts are to use the funds for meritor-
ious road work. If not, and if the stag
gered present arrangement proves to be
only political combine against this
district, then it should be opposed as
effectively as possible.

Three claims were dismissed in compensation court, in rulings handed down today by Commission CT James M. Lynch. In each case 1t is found that the ailments listed are not the outgrowth of the claim ants employment.
 Tn the claim of Joseph Rubino against the American Brass Co. of Torrington, the claimant was in- jured Feb. 8, 1883, and was paid compensation while disabled with Q back injury. He claims Q present back ailment Is the result of his iTl- jury, but, passing his decision, on medical testimony, Commissioner Lynch finds no connection between the present aiiment and the injury.

BONUS PAYMENT

Veterans Discuss Method of Raising Funds; Hayes

Methods of paying tho soldiers bonus were discussed from two dif- ferent angles last night ct the Y. M. c. A. Forum by Robert Hayes, well known member of the D. A. V. of this city, and Attorney Thomas F. Moore, trust offlcer of the Citiz- ems and Manufacturers National bank, and member of the American Legion. The former favored revalu- ation of the gold and silver reserves of the government so as to permit the issuance of $2,000, 900, 900 in new money. The latter criticised this method and urged "sane and or- thodox method" plan of raising the money, such as by taxation.
 Charts depicting the great ex- pansion of credit dollars during the years before the depression were drawn by MT. Hayes. He showed that there were bi billions of cre- dit dollars, 47 billions of check dol. lars and 10 billions of currency against Q base Of { billions of gold.
 Attorney Moore contended that by issuing new money the veteran would be receiving O dishonest dol- lar worth only 86 cents.

1885 SUIDICES
 SHOW DECREASE
Waterbury Had Less Than Dozen, State Report To.
 day Reveals

Suicides In Connecticut showed Q marked decrease during 1895, acc cording to Q report issued by State Health Commissioner Stanley H. Osborn. Waterburys share of this total was very small, numbering less than Q dozen. Increased busi- ness conditions with accompanying higher standards of living are large- ly responsible, possibly. for the drop In the number of suicides.
 Noticeable in Dr. Osborns report, also, is the fact that deaths from heart disease decreased in 1885 while deaths from pneumonia in. creased over the 1884 total. Tn 1895 these were 241 suicides in Connecti- cut. In 1884 the total was 300.
 Deaths from heart disease in 1885 totalled 3,4ii2 as against c total Of 3,467 in 1884. Heart disease con. tinued to be the main cause Of death in the state. In all 1,l06 deaths occurred through accident during 1895 as against 1,i04 in 1884. Measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria and infantile paralysis caused more deaths last year in the state than in 1884, the report shows. The death rate from typhoid fever for 1895 also shows c jump, amounting to almost 100 per cent.
